Chapter 3 - Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace (1/2)

Zhong Yue wanted to open his eyes when he felt the rapid changes in his psyche ocean. The Sui Sovereign Art that was built up in his mind was also trembling so hard that it might crumble soon.

"Stay focused!" Xin Huo shouted. "Your efforts will be in vain if you get distracted and it will pose a serious threat to your psyche. It would be even harder to build up the Sui Sovereign in your psyche ocean again. Now, stay focused and complete your cultivation in one shot!"

Zhong Yue quickly recovered and refocused on his cultivation. As he did this, the Flame Order Palace and the Sui Sovereign stopped trembling as well. They became even more complete and stable.

After a long time, Zhong Yue opened his eyes when he felt that his psyche was utterly exhausted; he looked at the Flame Order Palace around him in awe. He then looked down at himself in disbelief!

"There's nothing unbelievable about this. It is just a scene created with your psyche, and it exists only in your psyche ocean at the will of your psyche. However, it is your soul that will receive the training," Xin Huo proudly said as it stood on his shoulder, "[Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art] is not like those rubbish techniques you practiced last time. Those rubbish techniques may have some little effect on nourishing your soul, but they have no use for training your psyche at all. The [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art] I pass onto you can not only train your soul, but it can also train your psyche, making it stronger and stronger!"

Zhong Yue stood up. He wanted to walk out of the Flame Order Palace to look at the view outside. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise as the Flame Order Palace crumbled and the Fire Tree melted. Not only that, the Sui Sovereign body that he had condensed had also disappeared, exposing his soul's true form.

"This is?" Zhong Yue asked in confusion.

"If you walk out of the Flame Order Palace, then your soul is liberated from your body," Xin Huo laughed. "No matter the Flame Order Palace or the Sword Gate, they all symbolize one door each. Inside these doors is your inner body, and outside these doors is the outside world. It doesn't matter if you step out of the Flame Order Palace or the Sword Gate, but once you are out, it also means that your soul is liberated from your body. But now, considering you just got in touch with [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art], what you have achieved so far can be considered a great accomplishment."

"Really?" said Zhong Yue happily.

Xin Huo's face immediately stiffened, and he walked with his hands behind his back on Zhong Yue's shoulder. He coldly said, "Descendant of Fuxi, do not get so cocky and proud. You are nothing when compared to the pure-blood inheritors of Xin Huo. With only one look, these pure-blood inheritors would have already built up the entire visualization art completely, but you could only build up a rough figure. You still have a long way to go!"

However, Zhong Yue was positive about this matter, and he replied, "The pure-blood celestial race is that strong? They are of the celestial race, while I'm just a human. It is natural that I can't match up with them. However, everything will be fine if I make up for the difference in talent with hard work. I believe that I wouldn't be any worse than them."

Xin Huo's face blackened upon hearing Zhong Yue's words, and he silently complained, Using hard work to replace talent? You're already smarter and more talented than the others, and now you want to be even more hardworking than the others? Are you trying to outsmart the entire world?

Although Zhong Yue's talent was only at an average level compared to the previous inheritors of Xin Huo, those inheritors that Xin Huo had taught were all pure-blood members of the Fuxi Celestial Race!

Xin Huo was surprised that Zhong Yue was able to reach the level he was at now.

"Your psyche is too weak now. It takes only one visualization to exhaust your psyche completely before needing to take a rest. A few more practice sessions and your psyche will gradually become stronger. When you can actualize your psyche, then it means you have slightly mastered this technique," Xin Huo said after checking Zhong Yue's depleted psyche.

Zhong Yue was startled and said, "What? Actualizing my psyche to the point that it is visible to the naked eyes is just the beginner level? Can I really achieve what the Qi Practitioners can do?"

Suddenly, an extreme bout of dizziness struck Zhong Yue, bringing with it a wave of fatigue; he eventually fell asleep. The visualization just now had exhausted his psyche greatly.

Xin Huo then walked out of Zhong Yue's psyche ocean and returned to the weathered lamp. There were still loud noises coming from the thick black mist that surrounded them. The child-like figure that was only the size of a finger looked at both Zhong Yue and the black mist with a confused expression. Xin Huo said, "How long have I been sleeping, how did the Fuxi Celestial Race become something like this? What happened? And what is this black mist? This little celestial race brat said that it is now the era of the Human Sovereign, what kind of era is this Human Sovereign era…"

Inside Zhong Yue, his psyche started to regenerate rapidly, gradually filling up his psyche ocean.

After a few hours, Zhong Yue woke up. He quickly cultivated for a moment and entered his psyche ocean, feeling happy as he did so because the capacity of his psyche ocean had significantly increased. It was now almost twice the size it was before.

The [Sword Gate Visualization Art] that had only increased his psyche by a bit more than ten feet after a few years. The [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art] had almost doubled his psyche reserves after just one session of practice!

Such a strong visualization art. Just who is this Xin Huo?

He collected his thoughts and continued cultivating the [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art]. Due to the increase of his psyche, he managed to form up the entire Flame Order Palace, Sui Sovereign, and Fire Tree with less effort.

After a moment, Zhong Yue's soul opened his eyes, and he could feel that the Flame Order Palace built with his psyche was much more stable now. Although it would still cost him a considerable amount of psychic energy, there was still a portion that was left unspent.

There's still quite a bit of energy left. Maybe it can sustain for long enough for me to walk out of the Flame Order Palace? Zhong Yue's heartbeat thumped quicker as this thought appeared.

He had spent six years of cultivation, and he could not even reach the Soul Liberty level. However, he was sure that he could achieve Soul Liberty now after practicing the [Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art] two times.

In the Flame Order Palace, Zhong Yue's soul that had morphed into the Sui Sovereign started advancing toward the outside of the palace!

As he started moving, his psyche also began to deplete each step he advanced. One step, two steps, and three steps. The seawater in his psyche ocean that resembled his psyche was draining rapidly.

After the ninth step, Zhong Yue had managed to reach the entrance of the palace with one foot preparing to step out of the palace. At the same time, his psyche was close to depletion.

Finally, as soon as he stepped out his ninth step, his psyche depleted at the same time!

Boom!
