Chapter 493 - Chapter 493: Chapter 485: Theres Always Someone Stronger_1 (2/2)

“One of my friends was injured by an enemy who used a technique called Raging Flame Palm, imbuing fire poison into my friend’s body. When I tried to examine the injury, my wood-based cultivation technique reacted with the fire, drawing the poison into my own body.

Fortunately, I used my Ice Lotus to suppress the fire poison.

However, this fire poison is extraordinarily sinister. As soon as I remove the Ice Lotus’s cold suppression, it flares back to life and rages within my body once more.”

Qin Niu knew that the Fire Phoenix was the ancestral master of playing with fire.

Its ability to easily identify the flame as Taiyin flame suggested that it probably knew the origin of this flame.

“Taiyin flame is cold and domineering, igniting upon contact with blood. Its kind is not easily extinguished. If the master’s cultivated technique is of the wood attribute, it might cause the flame to burn even faster. It’s a pity that I have cultivated Taiyang flame, which is the exact opposite. My flame is just as domineering, capable of burning everything in the world and suppressing all sorts of Yin and evil things, but it’s practically powerless against Taiyin flame.”

There are specialties in every craft.

After listening to the Fire Phoenix’s explanation, Qin Niu came to understand that there were actually two types of flames.

“Is there a way to eradicate this Taiyin flame?”

“Naturally, there is a way. Though I cannot deal with Taiyin flame, it cannot harm me. And my Taiyang flame can injure those who cultivate it. The strand of Taiyin flame within the master’s body is of a lower level and its power is much weaker than the true Taiyin flame.

Using the Fire Lotus, the master can easily extract the fire poison from within.”

The Fire Phoenix offered him a solution.

He had originally come to the mountain to refine the Fire Lotus, and this conviction now grew even stronger.

He had not expected that a Fire Lotus could be used to remove fire poison.

According to Qin Niu’s understanding, a Fire Lotus being of fire, he had not anticipated using it to counteract fire poison. Instead, he intended to use it to balance the Ice Lotus’s cold energy.”

“So flames have strengths and weaknesses too?”

When Qin Niu asked this, he felt that he hadn’t thought it through.

The flames that the Fire Phoenix used to emit were ordinary, but now it could spit True Fire, which was much more powerful than before.

There must be different levels of flames.

“Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning are the four most special powers in nature. There are many types of fires, including the Nether Flame that burns souls and the Taiyang flame that can burn all things, the cold and domineering Taiyin flame, and the mysterious Black Flame that devours everything…

The strength of a flame should never be measured simply by its temperature alone.

For example, the True Fire I can now unleash is much hotter than ordinary flames, but it still ranks very low among Taiyang flames.

According to the Fire Phoenix inheritance I’ve received, the Samadhi True Fire of your human cultivators is very strong.

Even more powerful is the True Fire of the Golden Crow.

If our Phoenix clan cultivates to the utmost level and obtains various opportunities, there is a chance to cultivate the Five-colored Divine Flame, also known as Five-colored True Fire or Five-Fold Samadhi Flame. This flame ranks just below the True Fire of the Golden Crow.

As for the Taiyin flame, if cultivated to the utmost, it can become Taiyin Extreme Flame. It is said to be eternally inextinguishable, and its main feature is that it only burns intangible things like blood, True Qi, poisonous miasma, and so on.”

The Fire Phoenix imparted to Qin Niu some profound knowledge about flames.

He had thought the Phoenix clan was the strongest at fire control in the world. But according to the Fire Phoenix, they were not as proficient as the Golden Crow clan.

“Is the strongest flame in the world the True Fire of the Golden Crow controlled by the Golden Crow clan?”

“Of course not. There is no such thing as the strongest flame. Rumor has it that the Chaos Flame is even more formidable than the True Fire of the Golden Crow. In the future, once the master becomes stronger, you will certainly encounter many powerful flames.”

The Fire Phoenix seemed particularly eager when mentioning the Chaos Flame.

From its intent, it seemed that once Qin Niu’s strength grew in the future, it wished for him to take it to see the wonderful world outside.

It dared not show itself in front of human powerhouses now, fearing it might be hunted.”
