Chapter 1273: Practicing the Fire Emperor's Sutra
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li reached out for the Fire Emperor's Sutra and became excited as he touched it.
The first page of the book said, "Of all existences and the five elements, fire is the most powerful, and it can purify anything and everything…"
Fire held a high position in our galaxy, as it is one of the original sources of energy.
Suddenly, a red human-shaped shadow appeared from the Fire Emperor's Sutra. He was middle-aged, tall and fit, with red hair and red skin.
A red-skinned human!
Qingfeng Li's brows furrowed in surprise.
There were 4 general types of people on this Earth, that of yellow, white, brown, and black skin. He had never seen anyone with red skin; this man was definitely not from Earth.
Qingfeng Li also noticed that the man in front of him was just a spirit that existed long after death. The person who died must have been very powerful, and therefore his spirit lingered inside the Fire Emperor's Sutra.
Opening the book gave the red-skinned person a chance to come out.
"Who are you, and why are you inside the Fire Emperor's Sutra?" Qingfeng Li asked the middle-aged man standing in front of him.
The man smiled faintly back at him, "Who do you think I am? I am the Fire Emperor, the owner of this coffin."
Never would Qingfeng have guessed that the spirit inside the Fire Emperor's Sutra was the Fire Emperor. Remembering that Qingfeng Li had just opened his coffin and looted his treasures, his face reddened from embarrassment.
"Young man, don't be embarrassed, I left my coffin here in hopes to encounter the destined one. You can only obtain the treasures once you open the coffin." The Fire Emperor smiled.
Qingfeng Li was previously afraid that the Fire Emperor would make things difficult for him, but after hearing what the spirit said, he let out a deep breath.
However, Qingfeng Li was unhappy about the fog inside the red coffin. Frowning, he asked, "What's with the red fog inside the coffin?"
The Fire Emperor replied with a smile, "Come on, you benefited. You took her, didn't you?" Qingfeng Li became shy at this comment.
What he said was true. If it weren't for the red fog inside the coffin, he and Linger Yao would have never made love. Was he then supposed to thank the red fog?
Changing the subject, the Fire Emperor said, "My spirit has been in here for 500 years. I'm weak and will disappear soon, and you have to promise me one thing."
"I'll try my best to keep whatever promise you ask from me." Qingfeng Li nodded.
He knew that he had obtained the Fire Emperor's techniques and legacy. Of course, he would try to fulfill any request the Fire Emperor had.
The Fire Emperor opened his mouth, "I hope that if you go to Mars one day, you can bring my body with you. Bring it to the Gates of Mars and give it to Linglong Huo and tell her that I was killed by Wuya Tie."
Mars?!
Qingfeng Li's brows furrowed when he heard Mars. He knew that Mars belongs to a high-level dimension, and was much more powerful than Earth.
He didn't know if he could ever go to Mars, so he replied, "I'm on Earth right now; there's no way I'll ever go to Mars."
The Fire Emperor shook his head, "I can feel that you are the destined person. If you ever decide to leave Earth and journey the galaxy, you'll have to pass through Mars. Anyways, I hope you can give my body to Linglong Huo."
Qingfeng Li was surprised at the Fire Emperor's remarks. His spirit could actually tell that Qingfeng Li was a destined person? Remarkable.
"Okay, I promise. If I ever leave Earth to go to Mars, I will give your remains to Linglong Huo." Qingfeng Li smiled faintly.
Qingfeng Li made a promise to the Fire Emperor and will definitely carry it through.
"Thank you. The Fire Emperor's Sutra contains my experiences and insights from a life of cultivating, and it will help you control any flame." Then, the Fire Emperor's spirit slowly began to disappear.
The next moment, he had vanished in thin air.
Qingfeng Li bowed down towards the place where the Fire Emperor vanished.
Afterwards, he walked to the red coffin. Taking out a black box, he carefully placed the red bones inside and placed it in his interspatial ring.
He stood by the red coffin for a while, staring at its remains. Then, he carried the Fire Emperor Sutra to the side.
In no rush to leave the palace, Qingfeng Li began flipping through the pages of the book.
The Fire Emperor Sutra had detailed methods of controlling flames. Most of Mars was filled with flames, volcanoes, and lava. Therefore, everyone cultivated fire techniques.
Thus, self-cultivators on Mars all became extremely skilled at controlling and using flames.
Qingfeng Li was in awe after just reading the first line of the book. It talked about countless flame streaks, rather than just one ball of flame.
Countless streaks were merely concepts – it allows a person to divide flames into ten streaks, a hundred streaks, a thousand streaks, so on and so forth. The stronger the cultivator, the more flames they would be able to control. The more streaks they created, the more powerful the attack. However, it was extremely difficult to cultivate such power.
Flames are everchanging and could transform into shapes of creatures, plants, weapons, rivers, mountains, and many more.
The Golden Flame inside Qingfeng Li was as hot as 5500 degrees Celsius and was strong enough to melt metal, rivers, mountains, trees, and rocks.
Circulating the vital essence inside his body, Qingfeng Li released the flame onto his fingers per instructions on the script.
He tried to divide the flame by his forefinger and middle finger. At first, it was just one ball and could not be separated.
Using his determination and spirit energy, he tried to pry the flame with his fingers, but it was unbalanced, with one side bigger than the other.
As he tried to control the flame, it either went out, combined back together, or remained unbalanced until the bigger flame swallowed the smaller one.
