The sixth level of the fire domain was misty and hazy with purple mist. It was named Purple Qi from the East and looked indescribably noble. This color was supposed to be an auspicious omen, but in the fire domain, it represented terror.
It was impossible to estimate how hot the fire energy was. It had even burned some important figures to ashes. It was extremely dangerous. Even though Ye Fan had the bodhi seed, he didn't dare to be careless.
Ye Fan looked around and finally stopped in a stone forest. This place was relatively quiet and the purple mist was thin. It was suitable for a temporary residence.
Around him, rocks were strewn everywhere. Some were like crouching bulls, others like bamboo shoots. They were in all kinds of shapes.
"How do I use the purple flames to forge?" He frowned. Did he have to guide the purple flames into the Sea of Reincarnation? This was definitely very dangerous.
Even his physical body couldn't bear it. If he guided it into his body, it was hard to say what would happen. But if he didn't guide the flames into his body, how could he forge the cauldron?
The "weapon" had to be forged within his body. Only then could it merge with his body. There was no other way. This was the only way to unleash its greatest power.
"I'll just try guiding a strand."
He held the bodhi seed and sat down. The area within three meters became a pure land without a single purple flame. Ye Fan placed the seed on the ground and then walked to the edge. He carefully guided the purple flames and didn't dare to absorb too much. He only used his divine power to steal a strand.
"Hiss hiss!"
At this time, the strand of purple energy started to jump. It actually ignited the divine power and quickly melted a small ball.
Ye Fan was shocked. This purple energy was too strong and could even extinguish divine power. No wonder it was a threat to important figures. It was indeed dangerous.
When the strand of purple energy approached the bodhi seed, it finally stopped jumping. It was no longer harmful to the divine power and calmed down.
"What kind of flame is this? Just a strand of purple energy is so powerful. It can definitely cut through spirit treasures and pierce through the human body. It's really shocking." Ye Fan muttered to himself. He carefully controlled it to approach his skin and make contact with the strand of Source Qi that leaked out.
Specks of ripples spread out. The mysterious yellow strand became much more lively and slowly flowed on the surface of his body. At the same time, the purple mist seemed to be attracted and moved in sync with it.
"Sure enough, there's hope!" Ye Fan revealed a happy expression.
Right now, everything was in preparation for refining the cauldron. Only by truly understanding the purple energy could he draw it into his body. He held the Bodhi Bead in his hand and focused all his attention to fuse the purple flames with the Source Qi of All Beings.
Like a breeze blowing across the surface of a lake, ripples appeared. That wisp of Myriad Source Qi emitted a strange fluctuation and absorbed the purple mist.
Ye Fan immediately felt a wave of warmth, but it wasn't a burning sensation. It was like warm water flowing on his skin, giving him a very comfortable feeling.
After the initial success, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He activated the mysterious technique recorded in the Dao Scripture, allowing the wisp of Source Qi to flow on the surface of his body, from his fingers to his arms, then to his neck, chest, and thighs.
He observed carefully. After the purple mist fused with the Source Qi, it was very calm. It did not struggle, and there was no sign of it wreaking havoc.
Then, he activated divine force, pouring it into the All Life Source Energy, allowing it to merge together. It was still extremely calm, not displaying any abnormalities.
This wisp of Source Qi flowed on the surface of his body like a warm spring breeze. It was like a gentle massage, making him feel very comfortable.
From the looks of it, everything was normal, and there was no danger.
Half an hour later, Ye Fan guided the wisp of Mysterious Yellow Essence into his body. Of course, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. He first let it enter the flesh of his arm. If there was an accident, he could quickly stop it.
He had to be so cautious. After all, this kind of purple flame was a threat to important figures. If he directly absorbed it into the Sea of Reincarnation and an accident happened, the consequences would be unthinkable.
As it passed through the flesh, it was like essence was swimming. There was a trace of fluctuation amidst the warmth. Still, there was no accident. The purple qi entered his body and did not rebel.
After repeated attempts, Ye Fan guided the wisp of Source Qi back into the Sea of Reincarnation and fused with the Source Qi. The Source Qi near the purple mist became lively, but because there was only a wisp of purple qi, there was no real change.
At the initial stage, everything went smoothly, and there was no danger. Ye Fan decided to start absorbing more purple flames. After all, one wisp was too little, and it could not be used to refine the cauldron.
In the "Purple Qi from the East" fire domain, the All Life Source Qi was lively, and it was easier to control. The second time, Ye Fan directly guided three wisps, and after absorbing the purple qi, he returned to the Sea of Reincarnation.
After repeated attempts, Ye Fan felt that there was indeed danger, but he could control it. He should be able to use the Purple Qi Refining Cauldron.
Half a day later, he sat there quietly, using divine power to guide the purple qi into this pure land. Then, he absorbed it with the Source Qi.
Now, he gradually relaxed, absorbing dozens of wisps of mist at the same time. They followed the Mysterious Yellow Essence back into the Sea of Reincarnation, gathering bit by bit.
Two days later, in Ye Fan's Sea of Bitterness, the All Life Source Qi was slightly purple and warm. However, this was far from enough. If he wanted to refine the cauldron, the fire energy had to be strong and blazing.
On the third day, Ye Fan increased the intensity of the fire. He sat quietly on the boulder, his body like a statue. Wisps of purple mist curled up, and the surface of his body was hazy.
On the fourth day, within his Sea of Reincarnation, there was a ball of flame the size of a chicken egg throbbing. The purple mist continuously gathered, finally turning into a flame. The temperature was incomparably high, and even though he was surrounded by the Mysterious Yellow Essence, waves of heat could still be felt.
Now, Ye Fan didn't dare to draw in the purple energy anymore. The fire energy contained in that fireball exceeded his expectations. It was like a purple sun burning.
"Now is the time!" He began to refine the cauldron.
He held the bodhi seed in his hand, sitting on the bluestone. His mind was calm, and a small cauldron appeared in his sea of consciousness. It had three legs and two handles, simple and unadorned.
This was the cauldron in his heart. Everything had to be refined according to this until it took form. There couldn't be the slightest mistake or flaw.
The All Life Source Qi surged, surrounding the purple flame. He tempered it with his heart, forging it with his spirit. His mind was highly concentrated, like a fully drawn bow.
The purple flame burned, the All Life Source Qi hazy, containing the flame. It continuously changed shape, evolving into the shape of a cauldron.
One day, two days … seven days later, it actually released a sonorous sound, as if iron was really being forged. The sound traveled far into the distance.
In the past, forging the cauldron wasn't difficult, and it could take form in half a month to a month. However, as soon as it left the green copper piece, it would immediately disintegrate, difficult to maintain.
Now, after using the terrifying fire energy to temper it, it actually couldn't take form. It was as if he was polishing the world's hardest holy iron, hammering it a hundred times, yet it would only turn into a lump.
Ye Fan didn't worry, because this was how it should be. In the past, it couldn't be considered refining the cauldron, only gathering the source energy. That kind of formation was like building a tall building on a beach, destined to collapse.
Now, using the best quality fire source to forge it, this was true artifact refinement. After taking form, it would become indestructible!
On the ninth day, the purple flame gradually weakened, and then with a flash, it actually burned out, completely extinguished. At this moment, the All Life Source Qi was refined into a lump of irregular shape, far from taking form.
"Worthy of being the All Life Source Qi. Even after this type of fire energy burned out, it still couldn't take form …"
One has to understand that the purple flame could burn great figures to death, but using it to refine a cauldron would only make it take form, far from meeting the requirements.
Ye Fan stood up and stretched his muscles. Then, he ate some food and drank some water. He muttered to himself, "I wonder what's going on outside. Is there someone guarding the edge of the fiery field?"
He didn't immediately continue refining the cauldron. Instead, holding the Bodhi Seed, he walked outside to take a look.
After passing through multiple fiery fields, he finally arrived at the fiery field. Through the flames, he could see cultivators wandering around. Ye Fan hid himself and used his powerful consciousness to explore. Everything around him was clearly captured in his mind.
After waiting for a long time, he finally heard someone speak.
"So many days have passed. Can we leave now? It's so boring here."
"The sixth level of the fiery field is where the great figures forge artifacts. He will turn to dust in no time. Why do we have to wait here? What an unnecessary move."
…
Ye Fan silently retreated into the depths of the fiery field, no longer paying attention to those people. Right now, nothing was more important than refining the cauldron.
He once again guided the purple flame into his body. He was familiar with this process. In less than half a day, he had gathered enough fire energy. The purple flame was burning hot and was absorbed by the All Life Source Qi.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of metal being hammered rang out again. He focused his mind and energy to refine the Source Qi, allowing it to slowly take shape.
This time, it was even faster. In less than three days, the purple flame was extinguished.
"The All Life Source Qi is indeed unimaginable …"
Ye Fan felt that he could guide more of the purple flame into his body. Otherwise, if he gave up halfway, who knew when the cauldron would take shape.
In the end, he continued to guide the flame. It gathered into a dazzling light in his body. It was as big as a fist. The All Life Source Qi could barely contain it. Any more and it would overflow.
The purple flame burned fiercely and the sound of metal clanging rang out again. Ye Fan used his heart to refine and his spirit to forge.
"Poof!"
Suddenly, something unexpected happened. This time, there was too much purple flame. In the process of forging the cauldron, it overflowed from the All Life Source Qi.
This was not a single wisp, nor was it a few dozen wisps. It was a small ball. It was as big as a longan and was as bright as the sun. It was like the concentrated essence of the sun!
Ye Fan's face immediately turned pale. He was not the Ji Clan's Supreme Elder, he was not the Alkaid Saint. The reason why he could forge here was because he had the Bodhi Seed. Now that the purple flame rushed out, it would be a disaster.
As expected, after the purple flame left the All Life Source Qi, it immediately went berserk. It was as if it wanted to burn the nine heavens and turn him into ashes.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the golden sea of bitterness rolled up boundless waves, blocking the purple fire and covering it inside.
Something shocking happened. The purple flame was engulfed by the golden seawater and was drowned in an instant. It was about to be extinguished.
"This …"
Ye Fan was shocked. He didn't think that the bitter sea, which was different from the others, would have such power to suppress the purple flame.
The purple light flashed and the flame rushed back into the All Life Source Qi. In the end, it did not extinguish.
"Hahaha …" Ye Fan laughed loudly and stood up.
Using the Source Qi to contain the flame was a helpless choice. He should have used the fire source to contain the Source Qi. Originally, he was still worried that it would be too slow to forge the cauldron at this speed. Now, he finally had a solution.
Ye Fan stood up and came to the hottest place in the 'Purple Qi from the East'. The mist there was thick like a liquid that couldn't be dissolved. There were some human-shaped ashes on the ground. It was obvious that the big shots liked this place.
Here, he directly absorbed a sea of purple flame and gathered it in the Sea of Reincarnation. The All Life Source Qi was completely contained. He used the golden bitter sea to suppress the purple flame and not let it leak.
The purple flame burned fiercely in the bitter sea and continuously refined the black and yellow essence. Clanging sounds rang out incessantly.
One day, two days …
Ye Fan didn't know how much fire energy he absorbed. It was as if he was forging iron every day. The purple mist in this region was getting thinner.
Until three months later, the clanging sounds finally stopped. Ye Fan no longer absorbed the purple flame.
At this moment, above the bitter sea, a small cauldron took form. It was simple and natural. Its two ears produced Yin and Yang, its three legs stabilized the heaven and earth, and its circle contained the primal chaos.
It evolved "Dao" and "truth" and formed a body. It could contain all things. It faintly had the feeling of the beginning of heaven and earth and the natural dao.
Refining the cauldron with purple qi had finally taken shape!
However, Ye Fan wasn't satisfied. He felt that this was only a rough embryo. He wanted to refine it with a stronger fire source.
He also had another idea. After refining the cauldron, he wanted to evolve profound Dao patterns inside. Only then could it become the most powerful weapon.
"I haven't cultivated Dao patterns, but I have hundreds of ancient characters. Each of them is a priceless treasure …"
