The Sun had just risen, shedding down faint gold light that added a layer of gold to the forest.
Before the stone house, Gu Na had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Ling Xian, her eyes filled with respect. However, when she didn't see the Undead Cat, she was a little disappointed.
This made Ling Xian shake his head and laugh, "Let's go. Take me to the place where the totems are placed."
"Yes."
Guna gently nodded, then walked forward to lead the way.
Ling Xian followed closely behind.
After some time, he followed Gu Na to a building in the forest. His eyes were full of anticipation.
When they saw him, the totem guards bowed down to show their respect. Then, they formed a strange hand seal and activated the totem house.
"Senior, this is where the Ancient Fire Tribe places the totems. Please." Gu Na extended her right hand and gestured for Ling Xian to enter.
"Okay."
Ling Xian marched into the house, his eyes full of anticipation.
The God of Fire, Zhu Rong, was an existence known to the world. Even among the humankind, he was extremely famous. He was one of the most famous existences since the ancient times.
He controlled all the fires in the world and had reached the peak of the Dao of Fire. He was the publicly acknowledged God of Fire.
Therefore, Ling Xian had high expectations. What made him even more excited was whether or not he could replicate the God of Fire's totem.
If he could, then he would truly be heaven-defying.
"I sure hope I can replicate the God of Fire's totem."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up as he marched into the stone house. Then, he was attracted by the totem on the wall.
There was a red totem carved on the wall. There was no specific pattern, but it was full of beauty.
To Ling Xian, this was no different than the God of Water's totem. They were both made up of lines. The only difference was the color.
The God of Water's totem was blue while the God of Fire's totem was red.
"It is no wonder it is a medium level totem. I can sense the Dao hidden within it after one look."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. The space between his brows began to emit light. Then, the enlivener formed a hand seal and injected its soul into the totem.
In the next second, he entered a state of enlightenment.
What he could see was a thousand miles of red. The boiling flames were endless. Even though it was just an illusion, he could still feel the shocking heat.
Ling Xian was not surprised by this. Instead, he was happy.
This was all because the amount of Dao contained within this mid-level totem was far more than he had imagined. It allowed him to improve by leaps and bounds in the Dao of Fire.
He immediately discarded all distracting thoughts and concentrated on comprehending the Grand Dao of Fire contained within this totem.
Seeing that his eyes were closed and he wasn't moving, Gu Na was shocked.
She knew Ling Xian was extraordinary, but she didn't think he would be this enlightened!
In just a few breaths of time, he was able to comprehend something. What kind of monster was this?
"What a monster. I remember when I first started to comprehend it, it took me three whole days to barely get started."
Gu Na sighed with sorrow. She had suffered quite a blow.
What happened next was even more of a blow to her.
Ling Xian stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Suddenly, red dots of light gushed out of his body. Like starlight, like flames, they danced around him.
This meant that he had already comprehended Zhu Rong's method from the totem. Otherwise, such a phenomenon would not have occurred.
"A Single Spark Makes a Great Fire!"
Gu Na was once again in awe. She was already shocked when she saw Ling Xian's instantaneous comprehension. She didn't think he would comprehend it so quickly!
Even though a single spark was the lowest level technique, it was not something that could be learned in a short amount of time. Even though she was a genius in her clan, it took her half a month to comprehend it!
What about Ling Xian?
From the moment he entered until now, not even a moment had passed!
This shocked Gu Na to the extreme. Only after a long while did she exclaim, "What a monster. Compared to him, why do I look so useless?"
Then, she closed the door and no longer paid attention to it. Or else she was afraid that she would lose all her confidence.
Ling Xian noticed Gu Na's action of closing the door, and he faintly smiled.
He didn't focus all of his attention on the totem. Instead, he split a part of his attention to find out why he was duplicating the totem.
Sadly, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. The only thing that changed was that his Grand Dao of Fire was getting more and more profound.
"Everything has a cause and effect. It is impossible for there to be no cause."
Ling Xian muttered to himself. He split his soul into two and studied the totem while he searched for the cause.
Sadly, other than learning many techniques, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
This puzzled Ling Xian.
Though the previous two times he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, that was because he was fully focused. It made sense that he didn't notice anything. But this time, he split half of his attention and still didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. This was strange.
"Could it be … I cannot duplicate it?"
Ling Xian frowned and mumbled, "It looks like I will have to wait until I understand everything before I know the result."
Then, he no longer split his attention and focused on the Zhu Rong totem before him.
Instantly, the speed at which he comprehended increased by quite a bit. With every breath that passed, his understanding of the Grand Dao of Fire deepened a little.
After all, this was the same as the God of Fire's blessing. Naturally, the effect was extraordinary.
Just like that, Ling Xian focused on his enlightenment. He didn't care about time or what was going on.
As time went on, the amount of light around him increased. Like flowers of fire, they bloomed in the air.
A day later, Ling Xian opened his eyes and revealed a faint smile of joy.
At the same time, the totem carved on the wall began to shine and reformed into a totem in midair.
Then, it imprinted itself onto Ling Xian's right arm like a tattoo.
This made him happy and puzzled at the same time.
Happy because he had duplicated the God of Fire's totem and proved his heaven-defying abilities.
Confused because he couldn't figure out why he had the heaven-defying ability to duplicate.
Don't forget, when Ling Xian was studying, he split half of his attention and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Yet reality proved that he had the ability to duplicate. Why wouldn't he be confused?
"This is far too strange. Logically speaking, if this isn't a coincidence, then there must be some kind of connection between me and the totem. Or else I cannot duplicate it. "
"Yet I can't feel anything out of the ordinary. This is far too strange."
Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He really couldn't understand why he had such a strange and heaven-defying ability.
"This is so strange."
Ling Xian was helpless and decided to let it go. After all, one day, he will find out the truth.
After he let go of his confusion, all that was left in his heart was happiness.
Duplicating the Water God's totem was already heaven-defying. Today, he had proven that he could duplicate the God of Fire's totem. Why wouldn't he be ecstatic?
Especially when he thought about the meaning behind this, Ling Xian was even more ecstatic.
If he could duplicate the Water God and the Fire God's totem, then doesn't that mean he could duplicate the other 10 Sorcerers' totems as well?
Though he wasn't sure yet, Ling Xian was 80% sure!
Therefore, why wouldn't he be ecstatic?
