Chapter 693: Fire Seed Understanding! Secret Realm Activation!
Time passed day by day.
Before he knew it, more than a week had gone by.
Sufen's days had been quite fulfilling during this period.
Indeed, being at home, he was always busy.
After all, the number of tasks assigned to him was truly unimaginable.
Firstly, the cultivation process for the Hypnotic Circle skill, though slow, had made significant progress and yielded notable results.
The combination of mental resources and the assistance of Feifei, despite Mengdie being only at the Sovereign Grade, made it difficult for her to master this skill. However, at this rate, mastering it within a month was not out of the question.
Moreover, through his interactions with Feifei, Sufen learned that Feifei had a stronger grasp of the skill. It was possible that she could master the Hypnotic Circle skill of the Three-Eyed Lion within half a month.
The cultivation of Dream Entry had reached its final stage.
Since the beginning of last year, Sufen had been curious about this skill. After a year of hard work, he had traveled to the capital to find Meng Huangliang, researched the Dream Heart to help Meng Huangliang break free from the hypnotic mental influence, studied the principle of Mengdie's Dream Entry, and explored various methods to cultivate and enhance the skill.
Some of these insights came from Sufen's own epiphanies, while others were inspired by others.
Now, as he truly engaged in the cultivation and analysis of this skill, which had taken the longest time, Sufen's emotions were complex.
It was impossible not to feel nervous or excited. However, the busy work also caused him some frustration and anxiety, though not because of Dream Entry itself.
On the contrary, the cultivation of the dream was definitely worth affirming and celebrating.
The reason for his current state was purely due to another cultivation project.
He had to admit that the ten thousand universal experience points were not wasted.
The mechanical cultivators from the Eagle Nation were indeed skilled.
The mysteries and wonders of the mechanical core were truly astonishing.
The third segment of the cultivation process was troublesome, but once Sufen used the Holy Spirit-level 'Spirit Crystal' to carve out the 'Cloud Server' circuit board, he finally understood the profound and mysterious nature of the pathways within.
Describing it as the absolute crystallization of the mechanical system was not an exaggeration!
The level of precision in this circuit board far surpassed any other petemon circuit board known for its intricacy.
Sufen had already completed most of it initially.
In the week he returned, he finished the Cloud Server entirely.
He finally understood why this thing was called a mechanical core.
Its vast data streams intersected, and with the computational power of an AI like Feifei, it possessed unparalleled processing capabilities.
It also had almost infinite message storage and the fastest information retrieval speed and capacity. With such capabilities, Sufen believed that given enough time, there was nothing this device could not compute!
Originally, such a device would require a large number of mechanical engineers and extremely precise instruments to cultivate.
However, for Sufen, who had mastered life carving and soul shaping, creating such things was not a difficult task.
This was why, in the past month and the week he returned, he was able to complete it smoothly while conducting other research.
However, for the subsequent cultivation, he found no methods or ideas.
Even after spending most of his time on this, he still found nothing.
The Cloud Server indeed provided computational power and vast information storage, allowing the heavily integrated mechanical core of Feifei to transfer its bulky body into it.
But it was not enough!
Unless Sufen allowed Feifei to take the old path of other mechanical petemons and fuse with a corresponding body after separation.
However, unless Sufen abandoned the mechanical core and found another path, achieving even a Legend Grade would be extremely difficult, let alone a Mythical Grade.
After all, mechanical petemons were a product of the new era, lacking the historical depth and cultural heritage to support them.
At higher levels, mechanical petemons lagged behind other types of petemons by a significant margin.
The most crucial gap was the lack of advanced experience.
In this aspect, Su Ping couldn't Apply Any Experience.
Even the so-called Golden Heart experience couldn't be applied here.
Therefore, to delve deeper into the perception and enhancement of rules, he could only follow the methods recorded in the Core of Ten Thousand Spirits, using the original body born from the mechanical core as the core of the mechanical deity, purifying it deeply to ensure that the body relying solely on the mechanical core had sufficient energy to supply the comprehension and manifestation of the rules.
Otherwise, all of this would be nothing but a castle in the air.
Clearly, others weren't trustworthy, and neither were the cultivators of Eagle Country, but his own golden finger was still trustworthy.
The cultivation method that had cost him ten thousand universal experience points to analyze, if it could be easily improved by Su Ping, then the golden finger wouldn't be worthy of its name.
Thus, in this aspect, Su Ping made no progress at all.
While there was no progress in this aspect, the time he spent this week wasn't entirely wasted.
Foremost, the flame of the Ice Flame Heart had ignited.
This thing was too greedy.
Initially, it was still manageable, having shed its first petal after growing. During this week, it was still being supplied by Little Wu Ya, but from the first day, it started to consume more and more.
By the end of the week, it was almost draining Little Wu Ya dry every day.
However, after absorbing such high-quality day and night fires, this little thing only shed another petal yesterday, with no other significant changes.
Notably, the central stamen of the Ice Flame Heart had turned increasingly purplish-red.
Previously, it was entirely ice-blue, like a blooming blue enchantress. Now, it resembled a pure red rose.
Approximately, the time for it to drop the Fire Heart wouldn't be far off.
As for that Ice Flame Heart petal, Su Ping didn't use it casually.
A mythical resource clearly wasn't something to be used carelessly.
Moreover, both Little Wu Ya and Little Huo were in the promotion stage of fire seed cultivation. Little Wu Ya especially lacked the Core of Ten Thousand Spirits and was purely relying on self-advancement. In such a situation, how could Su Ping casually feed them resources?
Especially with a resource of the Ice Flame Heart's grade, a single mishap could ruin everything.
If there was an energy conflict, causing severe illness or even explosive death, Su Ping wouldn't bear to lose them.
Thus, he was at a loss on whom to use this precious mythical resource on.
Fortunately, during this time, there was one existence willing to serve as a test subject—Yun Sheng!
This week, Yun Sheng had been waiting for this moment.
She was all prepared, lacking only the final push.
Previously, she had prepared a hundred thousand fire element cores, the soul of a scorched pet, an imperial-grade magma heart, and even the three fire-attribute holy spirit-grade resources Su Ping had mentioned.
She hadn't started the cultivation directly, purely to wait for this holy spirit-grade resource to return, to add another layer of insurance for the cultivation of her Li Huo Cai Feng.
Now, all the conditions were in place, and even a mythical resource was available. What was there to hesitate?
Clearly, the Li Huo Cai Feng had already grown impatient from waiting.
So, Su Ping naturally wouldn't refuse.
Although he had only experienced fire seed cultivation twice, those two experiences had left an indelible mark on him. Each time he cultivated Little Huo and Little Wu Ya, it deepened his understanding of fire seed cultivation.
Hence, he started the cultivation without any hesitation.
The cultivation lasted an entire day.
The smelting of fire element cores, the self-explosion of the scorched soul, and the handling of a large amount of resources—all of this gave Su Ping a unique insight and understanding into fire seed cultivation.
It suddenly made him understand Little Wu Ya's growth.
Little Wu Ya's upper limit was already at the peak of the holy spirit level. In a sense, the Chaos Guardian Crow was Little Wu Ya's peak form, incapable of further evolution.
Thus, Little Wu Ya's advancement could only be placed on the further enhancement of the fire seed.
In this aspect, Little Huo didn't need to worry, only needing to continue advancing with the help of the Core of Ten Thousand Spirits.
However, Little Wu Ya's fire seed skill was still at the proficient level.
One more level to reach Perfection.
Only by reaching Perfection could the fire seed truly enter the Ignition State.
At the same time, further growth was needed to transform the fire seed into a higher form.
Perhaps the skills of that form were the key to the Vermilion Bird and the formation of the Nanming Li Huo.
Currently, Little Flame only needed to refine the Life Force Fire and the Earth Core Fire. Once this was completed, the fire seed’s skills would be set to complete the second stage and enter the third stage of Nanming Li Huo.
But Ya Ya had no clear direction.
Now, with the special cultivation of the Li Huo Cai Feng’s fire seed, Su Ping gained a deeper understanding.
At this stage, the method of igniting had already been established; the next step was to continue adding fuel!
For Little Flame, the Solar Fire, Life Force Fire, Soul Fire, and Earth Core Fire were all fuel.
Ya Ya also needed this stage.
If the fuel for Nanming Li Huo was these fires, then what kind of fuel did Ya Ya’s Light and Dark Fire need?
Suddenly, Su Ping found the answer.
And this answer was somewhat fitting with his current situation, because he really had such a thing in his possession.
It was none other than the Ice Flame Stamen.
Yes, Ya Ya’s fuel should still be completely opposing energy.
And within this opposition, there needed to be a natural balance of creation and destruction.
Ice and fire were no different from light and darkness.
Their energies were purely opposing yet complementary, capable of nourishing the flames corresponding to the day and night fires.
As for whether the resources of ice and fire would work with Little Flame’s fire seed?
That was just overthinking it. During the formation of the fire seed and Ya Ya’s evolution, the fire had already changed!
Its flames were no longer elemental flames.
Instead, they were a form of energy based on elements and formed due to the fire seed. Lower-level flames were not the same as its flames; those flames were no different from water, ice, or wind.
So, the Ice Flame Stamen’s corresponding resources could really be used for Ya Ya?
Understanding this, the cultivation of the Li Huo Cai Feng was not without its gains.
The cultivation of the Li Huo Cai Feng was going smoothly.
As the Ten Thousand Spirits Scroll had shown initially, although the resource requirements were high, as long as they were met, the difficulty was not too great, just like before.
In the end, even the petals of the Ice Flame Stamen were not used.
Su Ping’s speculation was correct. During the cultivation of the fire seed, energy resources needed to be infused into the body of the Blazing Soul, allowing it to perform a self-destructive explosion.
In the soul explosion, the ‘Flame Soul’ was formed.
The Li Huo Cai Feng was special, though not a Flame Soul, it inherently had the bloodline of a phoenix. Under such an impact, just having the Blazing Soul devour three Holy Spirit-grade resources was enough.
If it truly devoured a Legend-grade resource and then performed another self-destructive explosion, the effect would be uncertain.
Su Ping looked at the Li Huo Cai Feng. The cultivation of the fire seed was insufficient to make it evolve, and the Li Huo Cai Feng was already at the peak of the Holy Spirit level. According to the common knowledge of beast masters, it could not evolve further.
Therefore, what this Li Huo Cai Feng needed was to break through the Legend-grade bottleneck.
Thinking of this, Su Ping narrowed his eyes, thinking of something else.
The half-step Legend-grade Blaze Phoenix in the submarine volcano and the magma of the Earth Pulse.
That thing had been in the Earth Pulse for several months, even half a year. It was unknown how it was doing now.
Little Flame would eventually have to face that thing!
After all, that place was where Su Ping had discovered the most intense flow of Earth Core Fire element energy!
It was just unknown if there would be such an opportunity before heading to the Lion Country.
Su Ping thought about this, and the days passed one by one.
He originally thought that such days would continue until the thorough research of the Dream Realm was completed.
Until one day, a terrifying boom finally sounded. In the gaze of everyone, including Su Ping, a massive secret realm passage in the northern sky of the Core of Ten Thousand Spirits was finally opened!
