One hour later.
Song Wen emerged from his cave dwelling.
Looking at the desolate and broken scenery on the island, he felt a lingering fear.
Broken tree trunks, withered leaves, the bodies of sea fish...
The air was thick with a damp, salty, and decayed odor.
This left Song Wen, the instigator, feeling suffocated and oppressed.
Just the waves stirred up by the fish tail had such power; how strong must that giant fish be?
How many powerful sea beasts were lurking in this deep sea?
At this moment, the hint of ambition he felt from breaking through to the Golden Core faded away.
Song Wen entered seclusion once more for intense cultivation.
He had now advanced to the Golden Core realm, achieving a qualitative leap in his cultivation. The techniques that had once been easy for him now seemed somewhat weak and urgently needed strengthening.
There were many techniques Song Wen could enhance, and he chose to refine three types of spiritual flames first.
The majestic Jade Light Flame.
The sinister and chilling Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse.
The Earth Core Refining Flame used for alchemy.
After advancing to the Golden Core, he could refine the spiritual flames of heaven and earth and nurture them within his dantian.
With the rich magical power of the Golden Core, he could strengthen the spiritual flames.
The true fire power of the spiritual flames could also nourish the cultivator, tempering their magical power to be more refined and condensed.
The two complemented each other perfectly.
Song Wen first refined the Earth Core Refining Flame, followed by the Jade Light Flame, and lastly the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse.
The refinement of the first two went quite smoothly.
However, after refining the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse and preparing to absorb it into his dantian, the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse and the Jade Light Flame experienced a violent repulsion.
Both flames surged wildly, trying to turn the dantian into their own territory.
As the two inflating flames were about to collide in the dantian, Song Wen hurriedly expelled both of them from his body.
One cold and one hot, one righteous and one evil; if these two types of spiritual flames collided in the dantian,
Song Wen did not dare to imagine what kind of violent energy would erupt and what impact it would have on the dantian.
With the two spiritual flames appearing before him, they became docile, floating in mid-air and quietly dancing.
Song Wen frowned, finding it difficult to choose for a moment.
Both types of spiritual flames were extremely important to him, and he didn't want to give up either one.
The magical power cultivated through the "Corpse King Rebirth Technique" possessed characteristics of both life and death, giving Song Wen a dual aspect of vibrant life and overwhelming corpse qi.
The Jade Light Flame and the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse corresponded perfectly with this.
The Jade Light Flame could be used to nourish the vitality of the physical body and also to refine some righteous treasures.
The Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse could assist in refining corpse-based spiritual materials and could be used to create corpse puppets, ghosts, and various sinister treasures.
After pondering for a moment, Song Wen suddenly remembered that in the "The Supreme Fire Control True Secret," there was a method called 'Fusion of Flames,' which might solve his current dilemma.
The so-called Fusion of Flames involved merging two or more types of spiritual flames into a new type of spiritual flame.
The flames that fused together generally had similar characteristics; through mutual integration, their properties could become even more powerful, and they might even give rise to new abilities.
However, the Jade Light Flame and the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse had completely opposite characteristics, and merging them might produce some unexpected changes.
After some contemplation, Song Wen decided to take the risk and give it a try.
Both types of spiritual flames had been refined by Song Wen, allowing him to control them with ease.
Under Song Wen's command, the platinum-colored Jade Light Flame and the ghastly green Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse slowly drew closer.
As soon as the two made contact, a loud explosion abruptly sounded.
A surge of incredibly violent power erupted, like a runaway wild horse, completely beyond Song Wen's control.
Song Wen quickly conjured a magical shield to avoid being injured by this force.
He did not dare to recklessly force the fusion of the flames and hurriedly separated the two spiritual flames.
However, Song Wen did not give up at this point.
Even when fusing flames of the same attribute, it is often challenging to achieve a smooth outcome, usually requiring some medium to connect them.
The medium for flame fusion is typically some special atmospheric essence.
Song Wen had quite a few of these spiritual materials on him.
The Yin Fiend Dew condensed from corpse qi, the dense ghostly aura from the treasure's mourning flags, and the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid all belonged to this category of spiritual materials.
With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in mid-air.
Thick corpse qi seeped out from the jade bottle.
Song Wen directed the Yin Fiend Dew toward the two spiritual flames.
Under Song Wen's deliberate suppression, the Cold Fire of the Underworld Corpse was easily enveloped by the Yin Fiend Dew.
However, when faced with the Jade Light Flame, the Yin Fiend Dew was immediately consumed by the vast righteous energy emitted by the Jade Light Flame, turning into nothingness.
Song Wen's expression turned somewhat grim.
He then tried the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid, but when the two types of spiritual flames came into contact with it, they both seemed to have ingested a tremendous tonic and immediately burned fiercely, making fusion impossible.
Song Wen paced back and forth in his cave dwelling for a long time.
Suddenly, two balls of thunder light appeared in his hands.
The thunder light shot out, sweeping toward the two spiritual flames.
To Song Wen's surprise, under his control, the two spiritual flames gradually became entwined with the thunder light.
The two flames, surrounded by silver light, began to draw closer and make contact.
This time, no violent energy erupted.
However, they still repelled each other.
As Song Wen continuously executed the fire control technique, they began to compress, and the repelling force grew stronger.
The thunder light entwined around the two flames seemed unable to withstand this powerful repelling force and suddenly collapsed.
Without the constraint of the thunder power, the two flames instantly rebounded, and a wave of violent energy swept out.
Prepared, Song Wen used the Profound Earth Treasure Pagoda to block the impact of the energy.
"It seems ordinary lightning is insufficient to restrain the spiritual flames; I need to use stronger lightning."
Previously, he had used the Thunder Palm.
Song Wen had many thunder techniques more powerful than the Thunder Palm.
Among them, the strongest was undoubtedly the nine great thunder techniques of the Lei family.
And of the nine great thunder techniques, the most powerful thunder technique that Song Wen could currently utilize was the third celestial thunder—the Yushu Heavenly Thunder.
However, although Song Wen possessed the cultivation method for the Yushu Heavenly Thunder, he had not yet cultivated it.
Thinking of this, Song Wen focused intently and began to cultivate the Yushu Heavenly Thunder.
With Song Wen's talent for thunder techniques, he was able to cultivate the much-desired third celestial thunder in just half a year.
Song Wen gestured to execute the thunder technique.
A thick black cloud appeared above his head.
Within the black cloud, silver bolts of lightning flickered and gradually converged to form a silver python the thickness of a bowl.
The silver python continually traversed within the dark cloud, solid yet ungrounded!
Upon closer inspection, one could see the silver python carrying a faint purple sheen.
This was a sign that the thunderous power had reached a significant level.
The lightning condensed from the Yushu Heavenly Thunder, while seemingly thinner than the Great Cave Divine Thunder previously executed by Song Wen, contained at least ten times the might.
