The Scholar's Heart was too strong. Whether it was Fang Zhentian or Feng Zhe, they could only slowly refine the flame energy that seeped into their defensive barrier. As for the situation outside, the two of them did not even have the ability to investigate.
Thus, when Mo Wuji joined in to refine the Scholar's Heart, Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe were completely unaware.
The moment Mo Wuji started to refine it, he knew that he had made the right choice. His Immortal Mortal Technique refining the Scholar's Heart was like boiling a frog in warm water; there were no abrupt changes. The Immortal Mortal Technique guided the Scholar's Heart to slowly circulate. Every circulation would bring away a strand of green flame energy, and after refining, it would become Mo Wuji's own.
Initially, Mo Wuji could still feel the torment of the cold and heat. Towards the end, he could no longer feel the torment. The speed at which the Immortal Mortal Technique drove the green flame energy became faster and faster. This meant that his refining speed was getting faster and faster.
As time passed, a huge ball of green flame energy had already gathered in his body. This was the flame energy from the Scholar's Heart that he had completely refined. And the green flame energy outside was still being continuously devoured by the Immortal Mortal Technique. Slowly, it was eroded away and assimilated into his body.
The Immortal Mortal Technique was originally the most ordinary cultivation technique. In other words, it was the most basic cultivation technique. It was different from other techniques. This technique was too ordinary. When refining the green flame around the Scholar's Heart, it would not cause any stimulation to the green flame.
At the same time, Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe's refinement was much more high-profile. On the surface, their cultivation technique seemed to be much stronger than the ordinary Immortal Mortal Technique. During the refinement process, it was not as peaceful as the Immortal Mortal Technique. As the two refined more and more green flames. The temperature around them also increased.
If Mo Wuji did not join in, the two of them might have lasted for a few more days. Eventually, one of them might even be able to refine the Scholar's Heart.
But Mo Wuji joined in. His refining speed was even faster than the combined speed of Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe. The speed at which the green flame around the Scholar's Heart was being refined increased by several folds.
Another two hours passed. The jade green light from Fang Zhentian's jade flute started to dim. At the same time, the gap in Feng Zhe's protective sword array grew larger.
"Pu!" When Fang Zhentian's green light barrier finally had a bigger hole torn in it, Fang Zhentian could no longer hold on, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He didn't even look at Feng Zhe. His body turned into a black light and instantly rushed out.
Almost at the same time that Fang Zhentian rushed out, a ball of green flames swept over, sweeping away Feng Zhe's clothes and hair. Feng Zhe didn't even care about the sword formation. He also turned into a shadow and escaped from the green flame.
The two of them were both True God Realm powerhouses. Their speed of retreat was extremely fast.
Fang Zhentian saw Feng Zhe, and Feng Zhe saw Fang Zhentian. When the two of them came to snatch the Scholar's Heart, they clashed once. Fortunately, both of their methods were roughly the same. They both lured the Scholar's Heart several miles away before slowly refining it.
Now that both of them had failed, the two of them seemed to have agreed on a course of action, each of them headed in a different direction as they sped out of the Lost Sky Ruins.
This kind of thing could only be understood and not explained. To the two of them, refining the Scholar's Heart was not impossible. As long as they could find a stronger defensive barrier, perhaps one day they would really be able to refine the Scholar's Heart.
After Feng Zhe and Fang Zhentian left, the pressure on Mo Wuji instantly increased. The temperature of the surrounding green flames rose higher and higher. The hill he was hiding in had already been melted by the green flames.
Mo Wuji didn't know that Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe had already failed and retreated. As the surrounding temperature rose, he subconsciously started to reverse the circulation of his self-created technique. Frost seeped out from his meridians. As the frost grew stronger, a thin layer of mist formed on the surface of his body.
However, the moment this mist appeared, it would be burnt to ashes by the green flames.
As Mo Wuji refined more and more of the green flames, the faint green energy surrounding his body became much deeper. At this moment, Mo Wuji's skin started to be burnt off. A deathly aura enveloped Mo Wuji.
Even though Mo Wuji didn't open his eyes, he knew that if he didn't do anything, he would be burnt to death here.
As he felt a large amount of the green flames within his body that had been refined by him, Mo Wuji was extremely unwilling. Once he retreated, the green aura that he had refined would immediately escape and disappear without a trace.
Cultivation had always been about risking one's life. When he was preparing to refine the Scholar's Heart, he almost died once. Now that he had already started refining it, if he retreated, he would definitely regret it in the future. Mo Wuji had a premonition that the moment he retreated, the Scholar's Heart would no longer belong to him.
Even if Fang Zhentian and Feng Zhe failed to refine the Scholar's Heart this time, they would find a better way to continue refining it.
As he thought of this, Mo Wuji gritted his teeth and tried to reverse the circulation of his self-created technique once more.
Indeed, when close to 30 meridians went through the reverse circulation, the terrifying frost seeped out from the meridians.
That tearing pain tore at Mo Wuji's body once again. Mo Wuji's entire body trembled as he continued to frantically refine the Scholar's Heart's flame energy.
In just half an incense's time, Mo Wuji felt an extreme scorching heat sweeping across his head. Immediately, he knew that his hair and scalp had been completely swept away by the green flames, and the surrounding temperature of the green flames increased once more.
Mo Wuji sighed deeply in his heart. It wasn't that he wasn't trying hard enough, but he really couldn't hold on any longer. The frost seeped out from his meridians and the temperature of the green flames were not as simple as one being offset and the other being offset. The most important thing was that his fleshly body couldn't hold on any longer. If he continued, he would definitely collapse.
His weakest link was none other than the strength of his fleshly body.
Mo Wuji wanted to stand up and retreat, but he soon realised that it was no longer up to him. He couldn't leave at all, he didn't even have a ten thousandth of his original strength, so how could he charge out of this terrifying flame?
Another wave of green flames surged over. Mo Wuji gritted his teeth, and directly guided a strand of the flame to undergo the reverse circulation of his cultivation technique.
A strand of flame seeped into Mo Wuji's meridians, and instantly fused with the frost within them. A lazy feeling came over, and Mo Wuji's heart was filled with ecstasy.
Initially, he used his self-created cultivation technique to produce frost to offset the temperature of the green flames, and then he used the Immortal Mortal Technique to refine the green flames around the Scholar's Heart.
But now, he directly used the spiritual energy within the green flames to undergo the reverse circulation. He didn't expect that not only would the refining speed be faster, he wouldn't have to suffer from the terrifying heat and cold.
At this moment, he only had 30 or so meridians undergoing the reverse circulation, and it already had such an effect. If all 102 meridians were to undergo the reverse circulation, how heaven-defying would that be?
Forcefully suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Mo Wuji started to slowly increase the number of meridians that were undergoing the reverse circulation. Every additional meridian would bring in an additional strand of green flames to refine.
