What was fire?
Fire was the light produced when an object burned.
Fire was scorching, brilliant, radiant, and full of life.
Fire was even the beginning of civilization …
From the end of history to the present day, one could always see the flickering of fire.
Countless ideas and paths of dao were born from it. Perhaps they were all correct.
After all, "the myriad paths of dao obscure one's vision. When I see the dao, the dao is different."
The sages of the past had already explained that there were myriad paths of dao.
Of course, fire could also be interpreted in myriad ways.
The Fire Origin Atlas passed down from the floating continent's Qing Huo Clan had a unique interpretation of fire —
Fire was just fire. Fire was one of the elemental energies that made up this world.
All other concepts were just "attachments" to fire, not fire itself.
The people of the floating continent only saw pure fire as a totem.
They didn't even acknowledge the existence of a god of fire, or that there was a great will that could represent fire.
Because …
"God has me, and I must have private thoughts."
Jiang Wang had always remembered these words.
He had always used fire in this way.
His experience on the floating continent wasn't very long, but it had left a deep impression on him.
He kept a respectful distance from the divine dao, and similarly didn't respect the so-called great will. He never worshipped fire as a god, only fire as fire.
Why could fire boil water?
Why could fire melt wood and iron?
Of course, it was because of the high temperature.
The hotter the flame, the faster the water would boil, and the more iron would melt.
He had always been pursuing even more terrifying temperatures, but there was a limit to his cultivation.
Previously, when his opponents weren't paying attention, he could burn them to ashes with his Samadhi True Fire.
But as he became more and more famous, more and more people learned about him and understood him …
The Samadhi True Fire fell into a predicament where it was very difficult to achieve anything.
After being on guard against it.
The power of a cultivator was naturally harder to melt than iron.
Jiang Wang had always been trying to solve the predicament of the Samadhi True Fire, but he was limited by his strength and experience.
After all, he wasn't born with knowledge.
He had never seen a senior who was proficient in using the Samadhi True Fire, nor had any senior taught him how to cultivate divine arts. He didn't have a divine art inheritance like the Chongxuan Clan. It was even more impossible for him to take out his divine art seed and ask someone to analyze it for him.
All this time, he had been exploring alone and advancing slowly.
The development of the Fire World was, of course, a path. If one day the entire Fire World could be formed by the True Samadhi Fire, and not just the core flame that ignited life, the power of the Fire World would be unimaginable.
However, with Jiang Wang's current realm, it was impossible for him to accumulate so much True Samadhi Fire. Even if he squeezed all the divine power seeds dry, he still wouldn't be able to do it.
Perhaps he could succeed on this path, but the merit was in the future.
This time, he had encountered the Bi Fang in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and had personally been burned by its flames. Only then did he know what the True Samadhi Flame was!
He took a huge amount of True Samadhi Fire into his Five Prefectures Sea and burned his Dao Essence, Good Fortune, Green Cloud, flesh and blood, and the power of spirit … He burned everything he had in order to see the truth of Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire.
For this reason, he was prepared to "die" in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
As he was about to be incinerated, he finally saw the true meaning.
His fire-elemental dao techniques were powerful because of the Fire Origin Chart. In fact, the Fire Origin Chart was also a key factor in the creation of the Fire World Technique. However, he was also shackled by the Fire Origin Chart from the void continent.
Fire was, of course, fire itself, and one of the elemental energies that constructed all things.
This was, of course, the unquestionable truth.
But fire wasn't just fire.
Those symbols, those concepts, and the so-called "attachments" that the void continent disdained were also fire.
They weren't meaningless.
And the True Samadhi Fire wasn't just True Samadhi Fire.
The Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire was fundamentally different from the path he had always taken.
When Jiang Wang's True Samadhi Fire was ignited, the first thing he felt wasn't the terrifyingly high temperature that ignited his flames, but the instant his divine power flames were disintegrated by the Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire.
Thus, the foundation of all existence was disintegrated. Of course, it also lost the possibility of defense.
Only then did it turn into firewood for the raging flames.
Divine power flames couldn't be burned, but after being disintegrated, the fire was still firewood.
The Samadhi Divine Power Light, the Crimson Heart Divine Power Light, and even the Dao Essence and Good Fortune Green Cloud that served as the medium for immortal arts … were all like this.
Jiang Wang had always believed that the essence of the True Samadhi Fire lay in true fire.
In fact, it only lay in "fire".
This was the principle that he realized when he cultivated the Fire Source Diagram, and it was also the shackle left behind by the Fire Source Diagram.
Now, he suddenly realized that at least for the Bi Fang, the core of the True Samadhi Fire lay in "samadhi".
What was "samadhi"?
It was the essence of all things, the origin of all things, and the true essence of all things.
Seeing it, seeing through it, then disintegrating it, then burning it!
The human world could be divided into three: heaven, earth, and man.
The sea of stars could be divided into three: sun, moon, and stars.
Space could be divided into three: top, middle, and bottom.
Time could be divided into three: past, present, and future.
Everything in the world could be divided into three.
This "three" wasn't "three", but infinity.
Dao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things, even infinity.
Why couldn't the True Samadhi Fire burn everything?
With the Samadhi Fire broken down, naturally, everything could be burned!
"With the Samadhi Fire broken down", wasn't it precisely knowledge?
The process of breaking down and breaking down was precisely the completion of knowledge.
The First Inner Mansion and the Second Inner Mansion, the True Samadhi Fire and the wrong path, could actually be so intimate.
With just this bit of understanding, the Tianfu Physique could be more complete, and the Light of the Five Divine Abilities could be more flexible.
With a thought, a hundred things could be achieved.
The fog that shrouded the True Samadhi Fire was gently blown away amidst the unimaginable pain.
Jiang Wang felt a sense of satisfaction.
This was the knowledge of the path of Dao, surpassing pain.
In the Five Mansion Sea, the First Inner Mansion, Second Inner Mansion, and Fifth Inner Mansion were all activated.
The wrong path was hidden to supplement knowledge.
And the Red Heart Divine Ability Light and the Samadhi Divine Ability Light were mixed together, locking the flames that filled the sky.
The red True Samadhi Fire that was originally burned to the point where only remnant flames were left suddenly soared up like a dragon, roaring and churning the Five Mansion Sea. It once again surrounded the True Samadhi Fire that belonged to the Bi Fang, and then ignited it.
Jiang Wang used the Red Heart to control the True Samadhi Fire, using fire to burn fire!
Even if he understood the true meaning, Jiang Wang's current True Samadhi Fire was of course far inferior to the Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire.
But this was Jiang Wang's Five Mansion Sea.
Everything that was being burned was also everything that supported Jiang Wang's existence.
The Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire was ultimately a tree without roots. After Jiang Wang understood its true meaning, it could no longer do anything.
But Jiang Wang's True Samadhi Fire had unlimited support, unlimited firewood.
With the experience of being burned from the inside out, and the replenishment of the wrong path's divine ability, he had already "grasped the Samadhi".
When he gathered his strength and burned the first wisp of True Samadhi Fire that belonged to the Bi Fang, the situation was reversed.
This Triple Blazing Fire turned into a pure red color, falling back into the huge fireball.
Like a spark falling into a pot of oil, it suddenly spread out!
In an instant, the spark had started a prairie fire.
The red True Samadhi Fire replaced all the Triple Blazing Fire, resounding throughout the Five Mansion Sea.
He had completely turned the Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire into his own.
But there were too many True Fires, and this power was too powerful. Jiang Wang's current divine ability seed was not enough to completely contain it.
Such a terrifying power expanded in the Five Mansion Sea, almost exploding. Under the suppression of the Red Heart Divine Ability and the mobilization of the True Samadhi Fire Divine Ability, it left in an orderly manner …
Therefore, the flames in his eyes were tens of thousands of feet long, and the clouds surged into the sky.
This was an unimaginable scene.
In the sky, two powerful strange beasts were fighting to the death.
Their auras were entangled in one place, causing ripples to appear in the space. The aftershocks rippled for hundreds of miles.
The strange beast that was as big as a galloping horse pounced on the green-feathered and white-beaked Bi Fang. Its claws pressed down on the Bi Fang's wings. The flames in its mouth had not extinguished, but its fangs had already bitten the Bi Fang's neck.
The dim light and the raging flames clashed at the tips of its teeth, fighting fiercely.
At this moment of life and death, the Bi Fang no longer held back.
Its flames seemed to burst out from the depths of its soul.
It pierced through its skeleton, through its flesh, and jumped onto its wings …
Finally, it burned this divine body!
It cried out sternly, "Bi Fang!"
The raging flames covered it and also covered the Calamity Beast King that was pouncing on it.
This crazy true fire spread out in the sky like a cloud of fire.
Two powerful strange beasts rolled in the cloud of fire.
The trident turned into a dim light, but it could not keep up with the spreading speed of the True Samadhi Fire.
The dim light shrank, and the raging flames burned brighter.
The raging flames disintegrated its fur and flesh …
The Bi Fang knew that it could not escape, but it used its own soul as firewood, determined to perish together with the Calamity Beast King!
What made the surrounding Calamity Beasts roar was … their king had no intention of avoiding at all.
Its claws were still pressing down on the Bi Fang's wings.
Its teeth were still biting the Bi Fang's neck.
The two fell together and burned together.
At this moment, endless flames rushed into the sky.
The True Samadhi Fire that swept across the sea instantly retracted. Along with the flames in Jiang Wang's eyes, it majestically pierced through the sky and directly collided with the two strange beasts that were entangled.
Using flames to burn flames.
Using the Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire to burn the Bi Fang's True Samadhi Fire!
The endless flames disintegrated and withered together.
The fire cloud that enveloped the sky for hundreds of feet actually shrank rapidly.
The dim light on the trident's body shone brightly. It closed its sharp teeth, gritted its teeth, and swung its tail!
The Bi Fang with a green body, red patterns, and white beak was beheaded just like that.
After its vitality dissipated, its body could no longer resist the True Samadhi Fire. It was swept away by the flames and disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Wang crossed the sea and waved his hand. The flames that swayed everywhere on the sea dissipated.
The world of fire that almost covered his vision was gently wiped away by him just like that.
The clear sky and the blue sea returned.
A drop of blood flowing with flames fell from the sky and fell in front of him.
Jiang Wang reached out and caught it.
This was the Bi Fang's blood essence.
Holding it in his hand, he looked around.
In the eyes of the surrounding Calamity Beasts, Jiang Wang saw for the first time, other than hunger and disdain, reverence.
Of course, the trident's gaze was different.
Its gaze was very intimate.
But while looking at Jiang Wang with an intimate gaze, it was also chewing on the Bi Fang's remaining bird head. It had been almost burned by the True Samadhi Fire, but after all, the skull was still left.
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say at this moment.
He could only raise his hand and treat it as a greeting.
The trident chewed the Bi Fang's skull into small pieces and swallowed it slowly. Then, it shouted, "Ao!"
This time, it was more gentle than any of the previous times.
It was as if it was calling for its family.
"Hello, Trident," Jiang Wang responded.
Seeing that it didn't mind, he put this drop of Bi Fang's blood essence into the storage box.
The trident turned around and stepped into the air. It went alone to the floating mountain that they fought all the way down.
There was a subtle emotion. Jiang Wang didn't know why, but he sensed it.
The trident was close to him, but at this moment, the trident was not happy.
Why didn't he feel happy after killing the Bi Fang?
He subconsciously followed behind the trident.
Maybe it was because it was used to being tamed by the trident, or maybe it was because it cared about the trident … Who knows?
More than half of the Huainu army was scattered everywhere. They didn't mourn and silently licked each other's wounds.
The trident's goal was very clear. It stepped straight into the air and soon arrived at the cliff where the Bi Fang stopped.
Under the natural stone platform, there was actually a stone cave hidden.
The stone platform looked like a door eave.
The trident walked in directly, Jiang Wang followed closely behind.
This was obviously the Bi Fang's nest.
Was there a treasure that the Bi Fang guarded?
Was it the inheritance of Huang Weizhen?
Or was it the Mystery of God's Arrival? The Seal of the Nine Phoenix?
While walking in the cave, Jiang Wang thought of many possibilities. But he didn't expect that when he walked into the depths of the cave with the trident, all he saw was dense white skulls.
There were only skulls.
They belonged to different strange beasts and seemed to be part of the Bi Fang's collection.
The trident rummaged through the mountain of skulls and picked out a small dog head. It silently put it in front of itself and licked it with a sad expression.
Seeing this, Jiang Wang suddenly understood …
That was the trident's child.
The trident led its army to kill the Bi Fang today, not to fight for anything or prove anything, but to take revenge that it had been preparing for a long time.
He could almost imagine that scene — — -
The fire-eating Huainu and the fire-controlling Bi Fang were natural enemies, constantly fighting.
One day, the powerful Bi Fang flapped its wings and spat out the True Samadhi Fire that could burn anything, burning countless Huainu to death. It picked up a fresh cub and returned to its nest to slowly savor it.
Of course, its posture was beautiful, even elegant, and as usual, it left behind a collection.
But this time, the cub's father (or mother?) Decided to take revenge.
It furiously trained itself, quickly grew to become the king of the Huainu army, trained and controlled the Huainu army.
Wherever the army passed, not even a blade of grass grew.
It patiently trained the two-legged beast, feeding it precious fire lotuses so that it could quickly adapt to the True Samadhi Fire …
Everything was for today.
Including its previous attempt to hunt the Kui Cow, presumably because the Kui Cow also had something on it that could deal with the Bi Fang.
Looking at the trident that was silently licking the cub's skull, Jiang Wang fell silent.
Although there might not be any right or wrong between the strange beasts.
But at this moment, he was very glad that he made a choice that was sincere in his heart in the previous battle.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to face this scene.
"Roar!"
The trident suddenly cried out again.
Jiang Wang looked at it.
It gently pushed the cub's skull inwards, then raised its claws and swept across the densely packed skulls, then looked at Jiang Wang and made a blowing gesture.
Jiang Wang raised a flame with his finger and tentatively sent it forward: "Do you want me to burn them?"
It was unknown whether the trident understood his action or his words, but it took a step back and nodded.
Jiang Wang gently flicked his finger, and the True Samadhi Fire jumped out and burned fiercely. In an instant, all the skulls, including the Huainu cub, were burned to ashes.
The trident took a last deep look here, then turned around and walked out.
When it walked to the entrance of the cave, it stopped and looked at Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang looked at it, not knowing what it meant.
At this time, the trident had returned to its normal size, like a smooth little black dog. It slowly came over, put its head under Jiang Wang's palm, and gently rubbed it.
