Chapter 247: Flame Awakening, Group Evolution?
Chapter 247: Flame Awakening, Group Evolution?
Inside the intense pillar of light, Little Caterpillar’s body could be faintly seen. Endless radiance contracted like a comet exploding, eventually converging into a ball of light resembling the sun.
Flame Soul Essence, successfully condensed!
Wang Che felt quite pleased.
The technique derived from the Great Freedom Visualization Method had always caused Wang Che some worry about its adaptability.
Although Little Caterpillar seemed on the verge of condensing the Flame Soul Essence,
Wang Che actually knew that the final step was like an insurmountable chasm.
It wasn’t easy to condense.
This was how immortal cultivation techniques were; they could appear almost complete yet stall progress for hundreds of years effortlessly.
Little Caterpillar’s current success in condensing Flame Soul Essence
meant the adaptation of the Great Freedom Visualization Method was successful. The subsequent Five Elements Primal Clarity World Derivation Record should also be cultivatable.
At the same time,
Wang Che noticed that the fiery magma in the Firepool had significantly decreased, and the intense flames had mostly subsided.
It seemed that Little Caterpillar had absorbed them to condense the Flame Soul Essence.
As a highly condensed source of energy combining Soul Power and flame life energy,
it also represented an understanding of Nature’s Power.
Wang Che had never cultivated this method in his previous life.
At this moment, he felt somewhat curious about Little Caterpillar, who had cultivated this method.
Under the intense pillar of light, the Blazing Fire Thunder Crocodiles seemed to sense fear and no longer dared to enter the thunder pool.
Wang Che looked over.
He saw that Little Caterpillar’s entire skin had turned crimson red.
Flame-like patterns were imprinted on its body, faintly appearing and disappearing. Its size had not changed much,
but a faint, illusory flame shadow burned around it, looking very cool.
Soon, the flame shadows merged into Little Caterpillar’s body, the flame patterns gradually faded, and it returned to its normal appearance.
Now, Little Caterpillar’s body no longer contained flame life energy.
Instead, it had all condensed into a pure Flame Soul Essence. Any flame energy it absorbed in the future would fuse with Soul Power and convert into Flame Soul Essence.
Little Caterpillar walked out of the magma, completely unharmed.
“It has achieved near-immunity to magma of this level!”
Wang Che nodded slightly.
The condensation of Flame Soul Essence meant Little Caterpillar could truly control fire.
In the Cultivation World, cultivating the Great Freedom Visualization Method and developing Five Elements True Essence meant both feet were firmly on the path of cultivation.
True Essence was not True Qi.
It was a higher form of energy.
Flame True Essence meant the ability to manipulate fire in the world and access more powerful flame forms.
Spells activated by True Essence would be greatly enhanced, and it could cultivate flame supernatural powers to boost combat strength, among other things.
The Flame Soul Essence condensed by Wang Che’s adapted Great Freedom Visualization Method, combined with Soul Power, had similar effects.
For Wang Che, with Flame Soul Essence, Little Caterpillar could refine better pills in the future.
Because the flame produced would no longer be ordinary.
The flame generated by Flame True Essence was called Innate True Fire, an extremely hot and pure flame.
It was very suitable for pill refining.
Ordinary cultivators could not develop Flame True Essence and could not produce this special flame.
As for the Flame Soul Essence, what kind of flame it could produce
was hard to say.
But it was definitely stronger than the previous flames.
Little Caterpillar walked over, its eyes seeming to burn with fire.
This was likely a side effect of condensing Flame Soul Essence and would fade after some time.
“How do you feel?”
Wang Che pointed a finger, and the sword formation filled with brilliant thunderlight retracted.
Magnetic Sword also returned to its original form.
The Thunder Crown Root King seemed to have absorbed enough thunder and was lying by the edge of the thunder pool.
Little Caterpillar nodded. Its tail suddenly twitched.
A wisp of bluish-red flame emerged, burning on its tail.
Wang Che took a look.
Wow, a little fire caterpillar?
Little Caterpillar wagged its tail, the bluish-red flame flickering along.
It seemed to find it fun, raising its tail like a propeller and spinning it, the flame whirling too, forming circles of fiery light.
It spun so fast it nearly flew up.
“…” Wang Che rapped Little Caterpillar on the head with a knuckle.
Little Caterpillar stopped immediately, the tail flame vanished, and it looked at Wang Che with dissatisfaction.
Why hit me?
I was having fun!
“I asked you to sense the changes in your body, not to play around.”
Wang Che glared at Little Caterpillar. “Use Spiral Flame Sphere once to see its power, aim at those Blazing Fire Thunder Crocodiles.”
Little Caterpillar nodded.
Its tail lit up, and with a swoosh, a bluish-red fireball formed.
It looked smaller than the previous fireballs.
Its color had changed.
And the biggest change was:
It was almost instantaneous.
Spiral Flame Sphere originally combined Rattler Tail Strike and Fireball Spell.
When using Fireball Spell, compressing the flame was necessary to make it powerful,
so it took some time.
Even at high speed, it required time.
There was a casting delay, so this move was most effective when the enemy was controlled or when facing a group of Soul Beasts from a distance.
But now it was nearly instant.
“The Flame Soul Essence itself was a highly condensed flame sphere, so there was no need to compress the flames further. When using the Flame Soul Essence to perform it, it directly became a high-intensity, highly compressed flame sphere that was instantly released.”
Wang Che nodded, feeling satisfied with this.
An instantly cast Spiral Flame Sphere was extraordinary.
The Little Caterpillar leaped up lightly, and the flame patterns on its body flashed briefly.
Bang bang bang!
Its tail shot out several Spiral Flame Spheres at light speed, firing over a dozen in just one second!
This casting speed and condensing speed was something the Little Caterpillar had never dared to imagine before.
Boom boom boom!
In that instant, the group of three-thousand-year Blazing Fire Thunder Crocodiles was blasted away!
Especially on their bodies, they were burning with this reddish-blue flame, showing no signs of going out!
They howled angrily from the burning.
“The Blazing Fire Thunder Crocodile’s outer armor naturally has strong resistance to fire and amazing defense. Otherwise, they wouldn’t survive in this Celestial Fire Thunder Pool. The Spiral Flame Sphere empowered by the Flame Soul Essence is not only more powerful and faster, but its flames also last for a very long time. Even the Blazing Fire Thunder Crocodiles can’t withstand the burning of this flame.”
Wang Che was quite satisfied with the power.
Moreover, the appearance of the Flame Soul Essence allowed the Spiral Flame Sphere to advance ahead of time.
It directly became Multiple Spiral Flame Spheres.
The power of one shot was stronger than the combined Spiral Thunder Flame Sphere of the Magnetic Sword and the Little Caterpillar back then.
Of course, if they combined now, it would probably be several times stronger.
“What about Nature’s Power?”
Wang Che said, “Since you’ve cultivated the Flame Soul Essence, in theory, your Nature’s Power should have awakened as well. What kind of Awakening Power is it?”
The Little Caterpillar landed and stammered.
“What Awakening Power?” Wang Che thought to himself. Did it make the little guy shy?
As the advancement of Nature’s Power, Awakening Power is crucial for obtaining later divine powers.
It is very important.
At the same time, Awakening Power is greatly related to one’s own energy and understanding of the corresponding energy.
Since the Little Caterpillar started practicing the Great Freedom Visualization Method, its understanding of Nature’s Power had been improving in the Dream Space.
It was only a step away from advancing.
Now that it had cultivated the Flame Soul Essence, it should have awakened the corresponding Awakening Power.
The Little Caterpillar closed its eyes, and the flame patterns on its body seemed to be activated.
Its whole body sparkled brightly.
Like tattoos.
At the same time, the aura inside the Little Caterpillar increased greatly.
“It looks quite nice, good job.”
Wang Che said, “The advanced Awakening Power puts you in a state of Flame Awakening, right? It looks really nice.”
If it entered the True Caterpillar Form at this time, the Little Caterpillar might transform into a fire-specialized True Caterpillar.
In this form, using Fire-Type Soul Skills again would likely result in a huge boost in power!
That power would be terrifying!
The Awakening Power of the flame state!
Very good.
Wang Che was quite satisfied. The Little Caterpillar’s moves were actually sufficient already.
What it lacked were some passive skills.
The Flame Awakening Power was a Soul Skill that leaned toward the passive type.
“Sii wu sii wu!”
The Little Caterpillar cried out, expressing some discomfort with the tattoos on its body now.
Wang Che understood; it was like getting a new skin.
This new skin didn’t match the Little Caterpillar’s aesthetic.
“It’s fine.” Wang Che said, “When you enter the True Dragon First Stage Form and activate Flame Awakening, you’ll temporarily turn into a majestic Flame True Dragon! Just as cool!”
Wang Che’s words made the Little Caterpillar’s eyes light up!
It immediately lifted its head high!
“There are many other wonderful uses of the Flame Soul Essence. I’ll explain them to you slowly in the future.”
Wang Che put away the Sword Formation and looked at the Magnetic Sword, asking, “How much of the Sword Formation have you learned?”
The Magnetic Sword thought for a moment and drew the character for “nine” in the air.
It understood ninety percent.
As expected of a little genius. After all, it was the main body of the Sword Formation. Wang Che used it to perform, so it gained a lot of insights itself.
Wang Che then looked at the Thunder Crown Root King nearby.
Earlier, while the Little Caterpillar was absorbing the flame energy from the Firepool, it balanced this Celestial Fire Thunder Pool.
So the Thunder Crown Root King absorbed energy quite smoothly.
Wang Che released the Thunder Message Seeds.
When the Thunder Message Seeds saw their boss, they swarmed over and surrounded the Thunder Crown Root King.
The Thunder Crown Root King was still a bit confused, as the sudden appearance of its underlings left it bewildered…
How did my underlings get here?
Only after the Thunder Message Seeds chattered and communicated for a while did it suddenly understand.
It looked toward Wang Che.
Wang Che walked over and asked:
“At their request, I’ve found you. Later, I’ll take you and them away from the Thunderous Soul Earth. Speaking of which, why were you so determined to absorb the lightning here?”
The Thunder Crown Root King didn’t explain. Instead, it immediately extended the tendrils from its roots and connected them to ten of the Thunder Message Seeds.
In an instant, powerful bursts of lightning energy continuously flowed from the Thunder Crown Root King into these ten Thunder Message Seeds.
This Thunder Crown Root King had absorbed most of the thunder energy from the thunder pool.
But it didn’t seem to convert it into its own Soul Power Cultivation.
Its Soul Power Cultivation didn’t change at all.
Seeing this scene, Wang Che was slightly surprised.
He understood.
Because soon, the bodies of the ten Thunder Message Seeds began to glow faintly… That was a sign they were about to evolve!!
