Chapter 7

At the moment he grasped the wooden tablet, Yuan Dian knew that everything mentioned in his grandfather's jade slip was true, for at that moment, he felt a sense of recognition from his bloodline, a manifestation of power, intangible yet undeniably present.

Carefully putting away the life tablet, Yuan Dian looked at the blank scroll again and let out a cry of surprise: "There are words, there are actually words?"

Although the scroll was still blank, Yuan Dian could see clear text on it. On the left side was a scripture called the *Tianyuan Scripture*, and on the right side was a technique called the *Tianyuan Spear Technique*.

"The path of immortality is fraught with difficulties, requiring destiny and fortune... The primordial spirits of heaven and earth all have the power to create, and the flesh and blood of the spirit body are the source... Qi exists in heaven and earth, the mortal body is of the dust, transforming blood into spirit, condensing qi at the beginning..."

As he read the text of the *Tianyuan Scripture*, Yuan Dian's brows furrowed. He could understand the first few sentences, knowing it was a cultivation technique, but the subsequent sentences were like heavenly books to him, completely incomprehensible. Moreover, there were many missing parts. By intuition, he felt that this was a fragmented cultivation scripture.

Even so, when Yuan Dian looked at the *Tianyuan Scripture*, he could sense its vast and profound content, boundless meaning, and complex and profound methods of operation, as well as the clear yet somewhat blurry path of communication between heaven and earth.

He had never heard of or seen such a cultivation technique. It was extremely rare and powerful. Compared to the *Cultivation Essentials* he was currently practicing, the two were incomparable. One was in the heavens, the other on the earth, a world apart.

Without deliberately delving into the cultivation technique, Yuan Dian turned his gaze to the technique, the *Tianyuan Spear Technique*.

This technique was extremely complete: "A thousand miles of water reveal a thunderbolt, two dragons playing with a pearl lock the throat of life, three paths straight and curved judge the fate of heaven, four..."

There were ten forms in total, performed in one continuous flow. After a quick read, a massive spear piercing the sky immediately appeared in Yuan Dian's mind, like a thunderbolt, locking the throat of life, judging the fate of heaven, subduing a thousand peaks... Invincible and unstoppable.

Just as Yuan Dian was amazed by the overwhelming power of the *Tianyuan Spear Technique* and was about to study it in detail, a sharp voice rang out: "Truly surprising, surprising, in this tiny place, where even birds don't defecate, I can actually see the fragmented *Tianyuan Scripture* and the complete *Tianyuan Spear Technique*. Truly surprising, surprising. Oh, right, I forgot, you don't belong here, you are from the Xuanhuang Inner Heaven..."

"Who are you? You... where are you?"

Suddenly hearing this voice, Yuan Dian's hair stood on end, his wrist trembled, and he almost dropped the scroll. Instinctively, he gripped the scroll and retreated several steps, looking around with caution.

"Don't be so jumpy. Who am I? I am your Fire Lord. Where am I? Where do you think I am?" As soon as Yuan Dian finished speaking, the sharp voice rang out again, filled with a sense of helplessness and grievance.

Hearing this, Yuan Dian instantly understood. He immediately calmed his mind and looked inward, into his sea of consciousness. He was startled: "This... why is there another spirit in my sea of consciousness?"

At this moment, in his sea of consciousness, where his primordial spirit resided, Yuan Dian saw an old man with red eyebrows, red hair, and a red robe, his face slightly red, sitting on a green-gray square tripod. A small square tripod was visible on his forehead. The old man looked at him with a face full of grievance. Faced with such an existence, Yuan Dian could no longer describe his shock and could only force himself to calm down and ask again: "You... who are you? You..."

But before Yuan Dian could finish, the red-browed old man interrupted him and continued on his own:

"Damn it, stop with all the 'you, you, you' and 'I, I, I.' If it were any other time, calling me Fire Lord, I wouldn't even look at you. Now, calling me Fire Lord, you won't lose anything."

"Damn it, Hongling old man, you've really done me in. How could it be such a kid? Ziyun, Ziyun, you must wait for me!"

As he spoke, the red-browed old man almost wailed. Seeing such an existence, Yuan Dian felt no immediate malice and tried to remain calm, forcing himself to ask again: "Fire... Fire Lord, venerable elder, how did you end up in my sea of consciousness? Can you... can you move and leave me?"

This was the first time Yuan Dian had finished a complete sentence in the presence of this special existence. Hearing this, the red-browed old man came to his senses, his brows furrowed, his face changed, and he coldly snorted:

"Let me say this one last time, call me Fire Lord! Fire Lord! Do you hear me? Venerable elder, venerable elder, am I that old? Damn it, to tell you the truth, I haven't even married or had children yet. If I hear you call me venerable elder again, just wait and see what I'll do to you."

"Yes, yes, yes, Fire... Fire Lord, Fire Lord, I will obey. From now on, I will call you Fire Lord, Fire Lord." Shocked by the red-browed old man's outburst, Yuan Dian quickly responded.

Faced with such a unique existence in his primordial spirit, Yuan Dian dared not offend him! By intuition, this red-browed old man could kill him with a single thought. For now, at least for now, Yuan Dian needed to endure and not offend this unique existence. With his grandfather not by his side, he needed to understand the situation before making any other plans.

Hearing Yuan Dian call him Fire Lord and with a rather respectful attitude, the red-browed old man let out a long breath, looked Yuan Dian up and down, and continued on his own:

"You, although far inferior to those little things in the upper realms, still have some potential. Moreover, your cultivation time is short, your realm is low, and you can still be transformed, and it's not too late to transform you."

"Stop looking, what's there to look at in Fire Lord? Rest assured, Fire Lord won't harm you. It's just that I've been betrayed by small people, carrying a full body of injuries, and had to leave my childhood sweetheart to come to this insignificant place to accompany you for a while. It's truly unjust, suffocating, and grievous."

"Moreover, Fire Lord is straightforward and doesn't fear telling you. Now, Fire Lord has suffered severe injuries, my realm and cultivation have greatly declined, and even my true body is almost shattered, extremely weak. I can only temporarily stay with you. Rest assured, Fire Lord won't stay for free. Fire Lord is the Ancestor of Artifacts, possessing supreme abilities, and all the artifacts in the world look up to Fire Lord..."

"Stop looking at Fire Lord, do you hear me? Damn it, put your heart at ease. With Fire Lord here, your cultivation path will be smooth, and becoming an immortal is just around the corner, the great path is within reach."

"What? You don't believe me?"

Hearing Fire Lord's profound and endless chatter, Yuan Dian's face changed repeatedly. He really didn't understand what this red-robed Fire Lord was saying. When Fire Lord's voice suddenly rose at the end, Yuan Dian snapped to attention, his face full of grievance, and quickly replied: "No, no, no, Fire Lord, I believe, I believe your words."

"Look at you, look at you, you clearly don't believe in Fire Lord's supreme abilities." Jumping off the small square tripod, Fire Lord pointed at Yuan Dian's nose, his face full of anger, and then a green light flashed on his palm, revealing an extremely ancient animal skin, which he threw to Yuan Dian. Then, his eyes turned, and he pretended to be indifferent as he said to Yuan Dian:

"Kid, look closely. This is the complete upper volume of the *Xuanhuang Scripture*. Do you know the *Xuanhuang Scripture*? Damn it, it is on par with the *Tianyuan Scripture* in your hand, and may even surpass it. The most important thing is that this is a complete upper volume, while the *Tianyuan Scripture* in your hand is a fragmented version, and a very fragmented one at that. Well, Fire Lord won't say more. Take a look, and you'll know if Fire Lord has the ability and if I'm lying to you."

Holding the ancient animal skin that Fire Lord threw to him, Yuan Dian felt a strange sense of familiarity. With surprise and questions, he slowly unfolded the animal skin and began to read, his face changing as he read...
