Chapter 64: Fragmented Law of Fire (1/2)
”No, I have no idea why would there be a separate dimension above the Blazing Phoenix Country.” Seth shook his head.
”It's a long story, but what this Venerable One have to say is that this dimension was not always stationed here, we had to move it to this limited place that you live in, in order to not attract too much attention. The things we discovered here, were enough to shock all the gods, even going as far as causing an ancient war. But it's story from millions of years ago, a lost record. And now, this place only has some utility for you, mortals.”
The Phoenix Spirit closed its eyes as it remembered the past.
”This dimension used to have a lot of flame divine grade resources and it was all thanks to a single thing. The thing that lay at the center of the labyrinth. First of all, let this Venerable One ask you one thing, what do you know about laws?”
”Laws? I didn't even hear about it before.”
”Sigh... as expected. The mortals would never touch such concepts, it is useless to give you a detailed information, so the venerable one shall impart some basic knowledge with you.”
”From the six beings that were considered the creators of all things, one of them was the Elemental Goddess. She created all the elements that exists in the universe and that includes all the particles that constitute our bodies and the objects.”
Seth sucked a mouthful of air. 'To think that someone could create all that. How much powerful should a person be to achieve that?'
The Phoenix Spirit saw Seth's reaction and continued: ”It may sound hard to believe at first, but those six beings were the first beings to ever exist in the entire cosmos. Each of them birthed with something that we call Primordial Energy Core. It was a gift from Heaven and Earth, and with that gift they were able to mold the universe. The power contained inside the Primordial Energy Core was really mythical. It could create any concept they wished for, but there was enough energy to use it only twice. So, with that, Eleven Supreme Laws were created while exhausting all the energy inside the Primordial Energy Cores they had. The Elemental Goddess for example, created all the elements and particles on her first time. The second time, she created the Supreme Law of Balance, that operates on every single thing, in order to balance the entire universe.”
Seth was speechless with the information he just received. But he didn't know how would this labyrinth be connected with such a story. But one thing he knew for sure. 'Eleven?' That count did not match.
The Phoenix Spirit saw through one of Seth's worries and said: ”The thing that lay inside this labyrinth, is none other than the Fragmented Law of Fire, a part of the Supreme Law of the Elements.”
”Fragmented Law of Fire? And what should I do to accomplish your task?”
”The Fragmented Law of Fire is something beyond any mortal understandings. Even us gods and mythical beasts, could only dream of understanding the concepts behind that Law, however we failed miserably after millions of years trying to. None of us could understand it. What I want you to do is to try to understand the concepts behind that Law, however bear in mind that it's something that not even those powerful gods from the ancient times were able to do. Since it's an impossible thing to accomplish for a mortal, if you can understand even a tiny bit about that fire, then I'll give you the Phoenix Feather.”
”It's just that? Where can I find the Law of Fire?” Seth carried Lilian, already impatient from having to hear all that explanation. He wanted to save Lilian faster.
”You do not need to be impatient. This Venerable One will use a wisp of my power to secure that the condition of that girl won't worsen, so you'll be able to travel freely. But bear in mind, there will be some challenges along the way.”
A spark of phoenix flames descended on Lilian's body, enveloping her. She flew towards the altar and laid there like a sleeping beauty.
Another spark flew towards Seth's glabella, entering his soul space and giving him the information, he needed. Now that he knew where the Fragmented Law of Fire was, he left hurriedly, even forgetting to say goodbye to the Phoenix Spirit.
After he left the Phoenix Spirit kept looking towards the place he went.
”If I had more time, there wouldn't be a need to resort to such means. Sigh... to think that a human will be bound here, having to watch over this place... But... There is no need for me to feel guilty, it's the price he will have to pay for me to be able to heal this woman.”
After some time, those burning eyes disappeared while only Lilian stood on the entire hall.
Seth left the chamber and saw the previous flatland, that turned into a desolate place that seemed to be destroyed by a huge meteor. There were still some dead bodies lying on the floor while some of them were missing some parts. He ignored that horrible scene and just made sure to force a bit of his mana inside Tao Shing, in order to prevent his consciousness from waking up. He could easily do something like that, since he had the Hades arts.
After that, Seth departed for a distant place, where he would be able to find the Fragmented Law of Fire.

Huo Shihong had already treated most of his injuries, however, the arm and leg he lost, would never be able to regenerate. Although he was a cripple right now, he could still use his Mana to help him with his needs. He didn't lose too much of his ranged fire power, however he would never be able to fight properly or manage an entire sect on the conditions his body was.
