Chapter 151: Demonic Fire Refining Essence
Demonic Fire Refining Essence is primarily divided into three stages, corresponding to the early, middle, and late stages of each realm.
Each stage requires the refinement of magical power at the beginning, middle, and peak, totaling nine times for each realm. Upon completing these nine times, one reaches the peak of that realm, and their magical power becomes approximately twenty percent purer than that of other cultivators at the same level.
However, Demonic Fire Refining Essence has certain requirements for the power of the flame. Currently, the Azure Yang Demonic Fire is sufficient to complete the refinement for the early stage of foundation establishment, but if the cultivation progresses too quickly, one must find a way to enhance the fire's power to effectively refine their magical power.
"It’s time."
With a thought, Liu Yu’s pale blue flame in his dantian suddenly surged, shining even brighter.
Then, the flame slowly descended towards the Lake of Magical Power, the distance between them gradually narrowing.
Perhaps it took a breath or two, or maybe longer, but the flame finally made contact with the lake.
As soon as they touched, the pale blue flame spread across the entire surface of the lake, turning it into a sea of azure fire, which then began to blaze fervently.
Gradually, the Lake of Magical Power began to churn and boil, bubbling with tiny bursts.
Droplets of sweat the size of beans appeared on Liu Yu's forehead, dripping onto his clothes and soaking them.
The calm expression on his face had vanished; in its place was a distorted and grimace due to pain, making him look haunting.
Although the pain in his dantian and flesh was not as severe as that on his Primordial Spirit, he had to endure it completely without any spiritual objects to alleviate it.
"Ugh!"
Liu Yu involuntarily let out a cry of anguish but quickly gritted his teeth to suppress it.
He knew this was the critical moment for refining his magical power; any lapse in focus could lead to forfeiting all his efforts and severely damaging his cultivation.
Despite the extreme pain, even his hands were trembling slightly, yet Liu Yu still slowly and firmly formed the special spell gesture.
He tightly guarded his clarity of mind, focusing on the task while cautiously controlling the Azure Yang Demonic Fire in close contact with his magical power, to prevent any damage to his dantian.
Under the raging pale blue flame, the Lake of Magical Power maintained a certain level of boiling, neither intensifying nor calming.
Bubbles burst forth, releasing wisps of fine black smoke, indicating the impurities in the magical power.
Because Liu Yu had consumed far more elixirs than the average cultivator, although he usually paid attention to refining his magical power, the impurities in his power were still much greater than those of other cultivators.
If he continued to cultivate to the peak of the late stage of foundation establishment like this, the likelihood of condensing the Golden Core would be extremely low due to the excessive impurities in his magical power.
These impurities were deeply hidden; Liu Yu couldn't detect them when he used his spiritual consciousness for introspection because they had long since merged with his magical power. Ordinary methods would not be able to expel them, unless he consumed rare spiritual objects or dispersed his power and started over.
But at this moment, under the refining of the Azure Yang Demonic Fire, these impurities were gradually expelled and dissipated, along with a portion of his cultivation magical power.
No one knew how much time had passed—perhaps a day or two, or maybe longer.
The boiling of the Lake of Magical Power gradually subsided, and the sea of fire shrank.
The pale blue flame slowly gathered into a ball, then the two separated, with the Azure Yang Demonic Fire rising above the Lake of Magical Power, occupying the center of the dantian.
The pale blue Lake of Magical Power, compared to before, had visibly shrunk in size, yet it was more crystalline and transparent, resembling the finest jade, radiating a soft blue light.
