In the inner sanctum of Huayun Palace, Yi Yun sat beside a square table. He was flipping through the items in his interspatial ring.
There was a token with the words "Fire Cloud Earth Fire Token" written on it. On the back was the word "Luo" written in the 12 Empyrean Heavens' ancient text.
There was a set of simple clothes. This was the uniform of the Luo clan's Earth Fire Hall disciples.
There was nothing special about these items. Only a circular stone attracted Yi Yun's attention.
This stone was crystalline and it emitted a strange energy fluctuation. Holding it in his hand, it felt like his meridians were fluctuating slightly.
World Stone?
Yi Yun recognized this stone. Back in Heaven Martial City, Ah Niu and Ah Yu had brought a World Stone to the Li Fire Sect. They wanted to sell it, but they were scammed by the Li Fire Sect. Yi Yun had stepped forward to buy the World Stone, resulting in a conflict with the Li Fire Sect.
World Stones were ores formed at the beginning of the Universe and the formation of the world.
The Universe was originally a mass of Chaos, and Chaos was actually the source of energy. Chaos transformed into Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang transformed into the five elements. From then on, Heaven and Earth were separated, giving rise to Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning, as well as all life.
However, not all Chaos energy evolved into Yin and Yang and the five elements. There were some energies that condensed together, turning into Chaos Stones.
The value of Chaos Stones was immeasurable. This was because it recorded the beginning of the Universe's formation. It was the most profound law.
World energy was one level weaker than Chaos energy. This was formed from diluted Chaos energy. Although it had deviated from its Origins, it was still very valuable.
These World energy evolved into the 12 Empyrean Heavens, and the 3000 Boundless Worlds.
Similarly, not all World energy evolved into the myriad of things in the world. There were also energies that condensed together, forming World Stones.
The value of World Stones was much lower than Chaos Stones, but it was still a precious natural treasure that could be used for cultivation.
In the Universe where the 12 Empyrean Heavens resided, there were many worlds. The birth of every world would leave behind a World Stone.
And even now, in this endless Universe, there were new worlds evolving and being born.
Similarly, there were old worlds that collapsed and were destroyed, turning into endless energy.
Hence, the mineral deposits formed by World Stones were endless.
In the 12 Empyrean Heavens, World Stone mineral deposits were important resources that large factions fought over. Once these stones were dug up, they could be used as currency, which could be used to buy priceless treasures.
For example, the Desolate Heaven Masters of the Luo clan's royal capital would refine precious relics that were eventually auctioned using World Stones.
The Fire Cloud State gave every disciple a World Stone as a salary. According to the Luo clan's rules, every Earth Fire Hall disciple could receive a World Stone a year.
"This World Stone's quality is even better than the one I obtained in the Tian Yuan world. Back then, World Stones were rare treasures in the Tian Yuan world. Many people did not even recognize it. Even the Li Fire Sect's market manager might not have recognized it."
"But in the 12 Empyrean Heavens, there are many World Stones. Worlds were born and destroyed over a long period of time. Every time a world was born, it would be accompanied by the formation of World Stones, which were vast mineral deposits that could be mined in large quantities. Hence, Earth Fire Hall disciples were given one a year. "
A thousand Earth Fire Hall disciples meant a thousand World Stones a year. Together with the Heaven Fire Hall disciples and the various Elders, the annual expenditure of World Stones was at least 10,000.
So many World Stones were the normal expenses of maintaining the operations of the Luo clan's Fire Cloud State branch. In the lower realm, it was unimaginable.
And World Stones were just a portion of the resources that the Luo clan expended.
With such resources and conditions, coupled with heritage that was a hundred times more powerful, it was not surprising that the 12 Empyrean Heavens produced mighty figures that far exceeded those in the lower realm.
With this thought in mind, Yi Yun put away the World Stone and began flipping through a jade book. It introduced the rules of the Earth Fire Hall, as well as the benefits that Earth Fire Hall disciples received.
And among these benefits, it included the most important thing — the Spirit of the Earth Fire.
In fact, the reason why the Earth Fire Hall was called the Earth Fire Hall was largely due to the Spirit of the Earth Fire beneath the Earth Fire Hall. The Spirit of the Earth Fire was, in fact, an Earth Fire Essence. This Fire Essence had existed for hundreds of millions of years, and it had always been burning quietly in the Fire Cloud State's main mountain.
"Spirit of the Earth Fire..."
Every year, the Spirit of the Earth Fire would burn at its peak for about two months. At that time, many Earth Fire Hall disciples would head there to mine for fire, using the Spirit of the Earth Fire to refine their bodies and meridians, as well as to study fire-elemental laws.
The Fey race was naturally inferior to the Human race in terms of nomological insight, but some great Fey with aristocratic bloodlines were born with an affinity for certain laws. And the Luo clan's bloodline was related to fire-elemental laws.
Now, there were still a few days before the Spirit of the Earth Fire burned at its peak. Yi Yun did not think about this. He took out the World Stone and placed it in front of him, opening his mouth to suck it in.
The World Stone contained pure World energy. As Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal in his body, he could absorb the World energy at a speed several times faster than typical warriors.
Wisps of energy were absorbed by Yi Yun, slowly expanding Yi Yun's Yuan foundation, nourishing the Dao Seed and the divine tree in his Yuan foundation.
After an unknown period of time, all the energy contained in the entire World Stone had been absorbed by Yi Yun. Not a single bit of energy was wasted. The energy nourished Yi Yun's limbs and bones as it flowed through his meridians.
"Young Master."
A voice came from outside the door, causing Yi Yun to open his eyes immediately.
Although he was immersed in cultivation, he had split off a wisp of his perception to observe the outside world.
Casting his perception outside the door, Yi Yun sensed an aura at the Mortal Blood realm.
"Come in." Yi Yun said.
The door was pushed open as a beautiful girl dressed in a green dress walked in. The girl looked no different from a human, but she had a furry tail behind her that moved back and forth.
Yi Yun had a good memory, so he had some impression of the girl. Her name was Hu'er, one of his servants.
"Young Master, there are only ten days left before the Spirit of the Earth Fire burns at its peak. Hu'er has come to inform you in accordance with Young Master's instructions." Hu'er's voice was soft. Although she was still young, the natural charm of the White Fox race was already in its nascent stages. If this was in the mortal world, it would be enough to make a country's monarch fall head over heels for her, to the point of abandoning his country for a beauty. This girl was only a young fox. If she had sufficient strength, even powerful warriors would not be able to withstand her charm.
However, this level of charm did not affect Yi Yun at all.
"Got it." Before Yi Yun absorbed the World Stone, he had transmitted his voice to the servants to pay attention to the Spirit of the Earth Fire.
