Capital Sky Peak was a perilous mountain located a thousand miles north of the Li Fire Sect's Purple Firmament Hall. It was surrounded by mountains with strange rocks. Capital Sky Peak was surrounded by restrictions. It was impossible to fly in and out of it unless one was at least at the Yuanying stage.
There was only one perilous path from the foot of the mountain to the top. If one was not careful, one would fall to the bottom of the valley. Even a Yuanying cultivator like Yi Tian would suffer if he fell from this path.
There was a thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain. The cultivator in charge of monitoring usually lived there. Every ten years, he would need to go up the mountain to check on the situation.
At the top of the mountain, Yi Tian sat cross-legged in an empty space. Then, he recalled the incident. It seemed like Grandmaster Gu Hui was deliberately suppressing his lineage. Logically speaking, disturbing the Grandmaster's preaching would not result in such a heavy punishment. Even for a Yuanying cultivator, a hundred years of detention would be unbearable.
He recalled Mo Wen Tian mentioning that the shackles on his hands and feet were specially made. Unless he cultivated the Nan Ming Li Fire to the extreme, he would be able to free himself.
After a while, he smiled and stretched out his hand to pull the shackles. He realized that the other end of the shackles was nailed to a huge rock at the top of Capital Sky Peak. He used his divine sense to scan the rock. There seemed to be some words engraved on it. Upon closer inspection, he could see that his Grandmaster Yun Zhongzheng's name was also engraved on it. Other than his words, there was nothing else.
He smiled in his heart. He realized that he was the second person to come here. However, after a glance, he realized that under Yun Zhongzheng's name, there were twenty words engraved. It seemed like his Grandmaster had really stayed here for a hundred years.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian's eyes flashed. He then stretched out his right index finger and slowly circulated his energy. A white flame appeared on his fingertip. Then, he used the engraving technique 'Focus as One' to compress the flame into a single strand.
Following that, he raised his right index finger and gently swept it over the shackles on his left hand. The Nan Ming Li Fire that he cultivated could burn anything. After being burned by the white flame for two hours, a thin slit appeared on the shackles.
Seeing that the Nan Ming Li Fire was effective, Yi Tian did not care about the large amount of spiritual energy he had expended. He hurriedly cut the other end of the shackles on his left hand. It took him a full three hours to completely free his left hand. At this point, more than half of the spiritual power in his body had been consumed. Yi Tian wasn't in a hurry to attack again. Instead, he slowly sat down cross-legged and silently circulated his spiritual energy to recover.
If that was the case, it would only take ten days to half a month for him to escape. As he thought about it, a smug expression appeared on his face.
In the following period of time, Yi Tian recalled that his Nanming Primordial Fire had yet to be refined to the extreme. After carefully pondering over Mo Wen Tian's original words, he realized that his cultivation was still not up to par. As long as he refined the Nanming Primordial Fire a little more, the effect would definitely be better. There was no point in thinking too much. Since he was meditating to recover his spiritual power, he might as well directly refine the Primordial Fire.
After taking out the Purple Heaven Cup and placing it in front of him, Yi Tian's right index finger once again released a trace of Nanming Primordial Fire and placed it in the middle of the Purple Heaven Cup. After that, he silently began to cultivate.
Recalling that ever since he cultivated the Nanming Primordial Fire in the Ten Thousand Mile Sea, he had not refined it further. Why not take this opportunity to see how powerful the strengthened Primordial Fire was?
Yi Tian did not know how long he had been doing this. He only knew that he had refined the Primordial Fire 81 times in the Purple Heaven Cup. After that, he absorbed the Primordial Fire back into his body and realized that it had become brighter after merging with the rest of the Primordial Fire.
Later on, he released a trace of Primordial Fire and began cutting the shackles on his feet. After a series of operations, he realized that the consumption of spiritual power had decreased by 50%. Furthermore, the speed at which he was cutting had clearly increased.
There was only one explanation for this. His Nanming Primordial Fire's power had increased, and he had become more adept at using it.
After sweeping his gaze at the Purple Heaven Cup, Yi Tian's eyes flashed. He could not help but mutter to himself, "This Purple Heaven Cup is indeed worthy of being the cornerstone spiritual artifact of the Li Fire Sect. Although it is not as famous as the Supreme Sky Mirror, it is still an essential spiritual artifact for every Li Fire Sect disciple."
As he was thinking, a white light flashed in front of him. Yi Tian hurriedly stood up when he saw this. With the Purple Heaven Cup in his left hand, he conjured a blob of Nanming Primordial Fire in his right hand.
After receiving the white light, a figure appeared. When he saw Yi Tian, he shook his head and said, "Wrong, wrong. That's not how you should use it."
When Yi Tian heard this, he frowned. After taking a closer look, he realized that it was Patriarch Li Fire. After the halo around him receded, he slowly walked forward. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Yi Tian and the Purple Heaven Cup in his hand. After a while, he said, "The Purple Heaven Cup is not how you should use it."
With that said, he stretched out his right hand and gently hooked it. The Purple Heaven Cup in Yi Tian's right hand flew out of his hand and into Patriarch Li Fire's left hand. Following that, he stretched out his right hand and gently snapped his fingers to light up the Purple Heaven Cup.
A wisp of white flame that was ten times brighter than Yi Tian's flame suddenly appeared in the middle. Yi Tian, who was standing thirty feet away, could feel a wave of heat rushing towards him.
Following that, Patriarch Li Fire raised the Purple Heaven Cup and gently blew at it. Immediately, a wisp of flame transformed into a thin line of fire that swept past his shackles. Following that, the black iron shackles that were infused with Stellar Crystal Essence were cut apart like tofu.
Yi Tian took the opportunity to remove the shackles. Then, he faced Patriarch Li Fire and said respectfully, "Unfilial grand-disciple Yi Tian greets Patriarch Li Fire. Patriarch's divine strength is unparalleled. Your usage of the Nan Ming Li Fire has truly broadened my horizons."
Patriarch Li Fire said with a disdainful smile, "Yi Tian, you have a treasure but you don't use it. What a waste. This Purple Heaven Cup has three uses. Strengthening your True Fire is only the most basic. In the future, if you have the opportunity, go to the secret levels of the sect's Sutra Depository to search for the Purple Heaven's Three Transformations. "After saying that, his figure blurred and disappeared into the night sky in about ten seconds.
'Purple Heaven's Three Transformations' Yi Tian muttered softly. He thought to himself, 'I never expected the Li Fire Sect to have such a secret.' Looking into the distance from the Sky Capital Peak, through the clouds, one could see the Li Fire Sect's location thousands of miles away. It was shimmering with golden light.
Not long after, purple lightning descended from the sky. Following that, a fireball descended from the sky. Not long after, a huge rift opened up in the void. A gigantic Asura body with three heads and six arms emerged from the rift and chased after the purple beam of light towards the Li Fire Sect's Purple Heaven Hall. Ten seconds later, another white beam of light flew out from the rift. Its target was also the Purple Heaven Hall.
When Yi Tian saw the two rays of light land on the ground, the entire Central Region suddenly boiled up. The disorderly spiritual energy violently burst out and spread in all directions. In a short moment, it spread to the Capital Sky Peak, which was thousands of li away, and drowned Yi Tian.
After being jolted awake, Yi Tian realized that he was lying in front of a stone monument. His body was drenched, but he did not know if it was from the water or his cold sweat. After calming himself down, he turned around and used a cleaning technique to wash himself up. Then, he looked up at the stone monument and saw the words' Li Fire Sect 'engraved on it.
