Ancient Sage Allfire's true form was a Inferno Behemoth. It was through the tempering of the underground lava that he had managed to overcome his limits and reach Ancient Sage.
As such, with him around, it was inevitable that he would experience intense heat.
After walking for a while, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's forehead began to drip with sweat.
As a soul oracle, his soul possessed a frigid body, so it was extremely fearful of such intense heat. If not for the fact that he had reached Ancient Sage, his soul would have already been jolted out of his body before he could even get close.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling discreetly shot a glance at the guild leader, and with a single glance, his eyes widened in admiration.
The other party was only at Sempiternal realm consummation, but it seemed like he was completely unaffected by the intense heat.
Putting aside sweat, even his soul was extremely stable, showing no signs of agitation at all.
Recalling how the other party's soul and body compatibility had reached a hundred previously, Ancient Sage Mo Ling could not help but send a telepathic message over. "Guild leader, your soul … isn't it afraid of heat?"
"I was afraid of it in the past as well!" Zhang Xuan paused for a moment before continuing. "However, after the heavenly flame, the heat is no longer a problem."
"Heavenly flame? You … used the heavenly flame to burn your soul? "Ancient Sage Mo Ling's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Don't Aureate Body realm cultivators have to undergo the heavenly flame tribulation? Have you not tempered your soul with the heavenly flame before? "Zhang Xuan asked doubtfully.
It shouldn't be a big deal, right? Why would the other party react in such a manner?
"Aureate Body realm … That's something that only ordinary cultivators would undergo. Soul oracles like us often substitute our bodies with Pseudo Aureate Bodies," Ancient Sage Mo Ling explained.
"Substitute our bodies with Pseudo Aureate Bodies?"
"Substitution?" Zhang Xuan was perplexed.
"It's like this …" Ancient Sage Mo Ling explained.
Soul oracles possessed the attribute of frigid yin. If they were to attempt the heavenly flame tribulation forcefully, they could very well be reduced to cinders. As such, after reaching Introspective Convalescence realm consummation, they would usually possess an Aureate Body realm cultivator and nurture them into a Pseudo Aureate Body.
The soul of the person who had been possessed would be spared as well. When the Heavenly Flame Tribulation came, the physical body would charge forward, and the Heavenly Flame Tribulation would deal the greatest damage to the Pseudo Golden Body. In the end, the soul of the Pseudo Golden Body would be used to replace the physical body, and that would be equivalent to successfully overcoming the Heavenly Flame Tribulation.
As treacherous as this method of transcending the Heavenly Tribulation was, it was more effective in ensuring the survival of the soul oracle. As such, it was something that the soul oracles had come up with after arriving in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. As for the cultivation technique that Zhang Xuan practiced, it was something that Lu Chong had brought back from the Ancestral Domain. As such, Zhang Xuan wasn't too sure about it.
Fearing that the guild leader would misunderstand the matter, Ancient Sage Mo Ling quickly explained, "We have been borrowing the bodies of Otherworldly Demons to overcome our cultivation ordeals."
"Even though it's much less dangerous for a soul oracle to attempt to possess the physical body of an Aureate Body realm expert while only at the Introspective Convalescence realm … How about this, I'll impart a cultivation method to you. If you cultivate according to this cultivation method, not only will you be immune to flames, lightning, and other pure yang energies, you'll also be able to face them calmly!"
After which, Zhang Xuan flicked his finger and imparted a cultivation technique over.
It was the cultivation technique that he had modified, the one that Lu Chong was currently cultivating.
Since Zhang Xuan was the guild leader of the Soul Oracle Guild and had contributed greatly to mankind, there was nothing wrong with imparting it to him.
"Cultivation technique?"
Initially, Ancient Sage Mo Ling didn't think much of it. However, when he took a closer look at the cultivation technique that had appeared in his Library of Heaven's Path, his body jolted in shock.
As an Ancient Sage who had studied the soul oracles for his entire life, there was no need to doubt his eye of discernment. The cultivation technique that the guild leader had imparted to him was extremely profound. If one were to cultivate according to it, one's soul could even transcend the Five Signs of Decline and become truly indestructible!
After reading through the cultivation technique, he felt an urge to destroy his cultivation and cultivate from scratch.
"It's too late for you to cultivate from scratch. However, I have made some adjustments to the flaws in your cultivation technique. This is my suggestion for you …"
As if seeing through Ancient Sage Mo Ling's thoughts, Zhang Xuan tapped his finger lightly and imparted another cultivation technique over.
After reading through the content, Ancient Sage Mo Ling trembled in agitation.
It was as if the other party knew exactly where the flaws in his body were. Every single one of his suggestions pointed to the vitals of his body, making it impossible for him to refute them.
He could already foresee that if he were to cultivate according to the cultivation technique, the flaws in his body would soon become flawless. With that, pushing for a breakthrough to Blood Reincarnation realm consummation would become a walk in the park!
"Despite only being at Sempiternal realm consummation, he was able to see through the flaws in my body with a single glance and even found a way to cure them. T-this …"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling was at a loss for words as he looked at the young man once more.
He had known that the guild leader was a formidable individual, but he didn't think that he would be this formidable!
This had already surpassed all of his expectations!
While Ancient Sage Mo Ling was still in shock, a booming voice suddenly echoed in his ears. "Ancient Sage Mo Ling, is what you said true?"
Raising his head, Zhang Xuan saw a saint beast floating above a huge expanse of scorching lava. It was golden in color, and cracks reminiscent of lava could be seen all over its body. It was over ten meters long, and it emanated a powerful aura. In terms of strength, it was on par with even Sovereign Chen Ling at his peak!
It was no wonder he was able to stand against Sovereign Chen Yong!
"Ancient Sage Mo Ling pays respect to Ancient Sage Allfire!" Knowing how powerful the other party was, Ancient Sage Mo Ling dared not act arrogantly. He clasped his fist and bowed respectfully. "Our guild leader is the one who said this, and I'll follow his lead!"
He had no idea what his guild leader was planning to do, but after seeing the cultivation technique that the other party had imparted to him, he couldn't help but feel a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Perhaps … the guild leader might really be able to tame this huge fellow!
If that was the case, the soul oracles would be able to wield even greater authority in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Even if they were to fall out with the Three Sovereigns, they would not have to fear them anymore!
There were no rules in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
The strongest would be the king.
"Guild leader? A Sempiternal realm lad? "
Ancient Sage Allfire turned his massive head around to look at Zhang Xuan and sneered coldly. "Aren't you soul oracles very arrogant, refusing to acknowledge even Kong Shi? Why … Why did you acknowledge such a fellow as your guild leader? "
Ancient Sage Mo Ling's face darkened. "Ancient Sage Allfire, it's one thing for you to insult me, but insulting our guild leader is equivalent to making an enemy out of our Soul Oracle Guild!"
"Oh? He's really your guild leader? "
Ancient Sage Allfire was taken aback by Ancient Sage Mo Ling's outburst. He turned to look at Zhang Xuan once more, but no matter how he looked at the latter, there was nothing special about the latter at all. Nevertheless, as expected of the leader of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, Ancient Sage Allfire suppressed his doubts and asked, "I have heard about the matter regarding the Three Sovereigns, but I know that they are extremely scheming. I have crossed blows with Sovereign Chen Yong, and I know that fellow's means very well. There's no way he would be killed so easily!
"Besides, the Three Sovereigns aren't the only ones in the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Even if all of them are dead, there are still many other kings among them. If we were to head over, there's a good chance that we would be slaughtered. Since Ancient Sage Mo Ling has acknowledged you as our leader, why don't you tell me how you can bring our Beast Tribe back?"
"It's very simple!"
Zhang Xuan replied with a smile. "Just become my tamed beast!"
