"Daoist Fellow Xia?"

The six Nascent Soul stage elders all looked towards Xia Liu.

They knew each other's strengths and could foresee Xia Liu's display.

It was naturally good.

Because if they were unsure of their teammate's power, bad things might occur.

For instance, if Xia Liu had reached the Nascent Soul late stage, the Extreme Cold Flame might not be shared.

Not being turned into a soul puppet would be fortunate.

Sha Tongtian's response was swift.

He laughed heartily, "Daoist Fellow Xia, it's our honor that you can strengthen the Spirit Formation!"

"Ah, Daoist Fellow Sha, there's no need to be so polite. I am a member of the team, and it's my duty to assist."

"Haha! Then we shall wait for Daoist Fellow Xia's display of power!"

Remembering something, Sha Tongtian quickly said, "Daoist Fellow Fang, please tell Daoist Fellow Xia how to enhance the Spirit Formation."

"Hmm, I intended to do that."

Fang Zhi nodded.

Just as he was about to explain, Xia Liu raised his hand.

"Daoist Fellow Fang, there's no need. I have already understood the secrets by breaking your Spirit Formation, injecting power is effortless."

...

Fang Zhi smiled bitterly.

The other strong cultivators also paused in speech.

Xia Liu was indeed unfathomable.

We'll see what kind of power he can display this time.

"Elder Bai, are you ready?"

Before casting, Xia Liu confirmed.

"Rest assured, even without Divinity Transformation stage strength, no one can perceive your presence."

Receiving Elder Bai's confident response, Xia Liu opened his palm.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!*

The Heavenly Gang Holy Fire blazed forth.

The surrounding area of several miles warmed up.

An exotic pressure spread, causing the emotions of the present Nascent Soul stage cultivators to fluctuate.

Especially Fang Zhi and Sha Tongtian.

They both possessed Fire Origin.

Yet they had never witnessed such powerful Fire Energy.

In terms of flame purity.

The flame in Xia Liu's palm was the purest Flame they had seen in hundreds of years.

"Daoist Fellow Xia's Fire Origin, I'm afraid has reached a level that even I can hardly imagine."

Sha Tongtian praised.

Same as before, he couldn't sense Xia Liu's presence.

This further proved his Energy Body was profound, his State of Mind possibly surpassing his own.

Yet, casting the flame showed no fluctuation in his Energy Body presence.

A conclusion couldn't be drawn yet.

"Daoist Fellow Sha, you're too kind. I've only been fortunate in enhancing my Fire Origin."

"Daoist Fellow Xia is truly humble. I must learn more from you in the future."

Ma Gao had to concede.

Xia Liu's Heavenly Gang Holy Fire even dispelled some of the cold within him.

Sufficient to show the terror of this flame.

Possessing a strong origin, while casting, not revealing presence, State of Mind possibly above his own.

Yet he was neither arrogant nor impatient, not displaying the domineering aura a strong cultivator should have.

Admirable indeed!

"Not at all, I'll first enhance the Spirit Formation, then exchange insights with you, fellow Daoists later!"

Xia Liu's eyes gleamed, and the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire roared forth.

Like a river of flames rushing into the Spirit Formation.

"Daoist Fellow Xia, the Spirit Formation might not withstand your power!"

Seeing this, Fang Zhi exclaimed.

His limit was at Spirit Formation Master level.

Xia Liu's flame power was too terrifying.

How could this level of Spirit Formation resist it?

"Hmm? That's an Array Seal!"

Just when Fang Zhi thought the Spirit Formation would collapse, Sha Tongtian saw a flashing square following the flame river.

With his experience, he instantly recognized them as Array Seals!

Even more refined than Fang Zhi's!

Spirit Formation Master!

*Buzz!*

Before anyone reacted, numerous Array Seals followed the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire into the Spirit Formation laid by Fang Zhi.

With the Array Seals added by Xia Liu.

The Spirit Formation underwent a miraculous transformation.

Much stronger than before!

Possibly reaching a Spirit Formation Master of Grade Nine!

At Grade Nine Spirit Formation Master level, even Golden Core stage cultivators trapped inside must tread cautiously.

Though it cannot compare to a Spirit Formation Grandmaster, with Xia Liu's added Array Seals.

It could undoubtedly bear the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire.

As Xia Liu altered the Spirit Formation, injecting the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire.

The flame power within the Spirit Formation surprisingly expanded to a range of five miles!

As for the ice layer mentioned, it instantly shattered.

The flame presence spread into the seawater.

As for its limit.

With Divine Sense suppressed, none of them could sense.

Despite this, all present were full of admiration for Xia Liu.

"The presence has penetrated the ice layer, let's patiently wait and hope the Extreme Cold Flame will be drawn out."

Xia Liu anticipated.

"Daoist Fellow Xia, what a brilliant method!"

Fang Zhi genuinely praised.

The talent Xia Liu showed in Spirit Formation, made him feel inadequate.

Injected Array Seals altering his formation structure, added supreme Flame Power.

It's simply awe-inspiring!

"Not at all, I merely modified the Spirit Formation laid by Daoist Fellow Fang, apologies."

"Such, my Spirit Formation was just the most ordinary Low-Rank Spirit Formation, your attainments in formation truly earn my admiration."

Fang Zhi said with bitterness.

This time, he lost face entirely!

If he knew Xia Liu's Energy Body limit.

Not caring whether they were out of the Secret Realm or not, he must pay a price!

"No, Daoist Fellow Fang, you're too modest, your Spirit Formation is beyond my understanding."

Feeling a barb in Fang Zhi's words, Sha Tongtian quickly intervened to diffuse.

Finding the Extreme Cold Flame still required Xia Liu.

Should he acquire the Extreme Cold Flame, he was quite willing for Fang Zhi to strike down Xia Liu.

Externals without utility wanting to share in victory, utterly naive!

Xia Liu might not have Mind Reading Technique, but his ability to gauge people wasn't weak.

In the deceitful cultivation realm, the more advanced the cultivation, the warier he needed to be.

Assimilating into this Nascent Soul circle, he never gave genuine trust.

Should things seem awry, he'd escape immediately.

With the exotic force in the Secret Realm, even Nascent Soul stage poses no threat.

Xia Liu had his plans, others held theirs.

They exchanged via Divine Sense.

Ma Gao and others responded to Sha Tongtian's query as.

Avoid impulsiveness for now.

Xia Liu's presence unrevealed, leaving his true cultivation strength uncertain.

When Extreme Cold Flame is acquired, join forces to strike him down, even if his Energy Body is Nascent Soul late stage.

With the Secret Realm's unique suppression, they could safely escape themselves.

Sha Tongtian consented with the others' suggestion.

Everything waits till the Extreme Cold Flame is obtained for further action.

One assurance, Xia Liu won't profit at all!

"Hmm? Beneath the ice layer, a special fire power is fluctuating!"

Fang Zhi suddenly exclaimed.

Though Xia Liu altered the Spirit Formation structure, his Array Seal remained, and he was clear on the presence range.

Sensed in the ocean depth under the Spirit Formation's presence.

They felt it!

Though the power merely fluctuated slightly.

He sensed it distinctly.

Xia Liu likely did too...

"Daoist Fellow Fang, Daoist Fellow Xia, can you determine what the exotic force is?"

Sha Tongtian sternly asked.

"Extreme Cold Flame!"

Seeing Fang Zhi silent, Xia Liu calmly answered.

"Haha! Finally found it!"
