Chapter 1993: Chapter 1998: Refinement Failed

Li Yun was no longer too concerned about his own injuries.

Xia Liu had soothed them greatly with Wood Spirit Power.

Explaining that refining the Essence of the Extreme Cold Flame would repair the foundation. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Then, after a period of secluded cultivation, recovery to the peak was certain!

The moment cultivation is restored will be when the top powerhouse of Baichuan Realm falls!

The news of refining the Extreme Cold Flame was equally important to Xia Liu.

Within the Extreme Cold Flame, there lies not only powerful Essence of Fire.

But also unfathomable Heaven and Earth Spirit Power!

Perhaps he might be able to use this spirit power for Core Formation!

"I ask for guidance from you, Senior."

Xia Liu respectfully clasped his fists and said.

"As far as I know, there are three methods to refine the Extreme Cold Flame, but I’m not sure which one will work."

Li Yun had traveled throughout the Northern Realm, visiting countless powerhouses.

Finally, he summarized three methods for refining the Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat Spiritual Objects.

"The first method involves two cultivators, both possessing the Fire Origin, refining it together."

"Senior, could it be that even a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator cannot complete the refining of the Extreme Cold Flame alone?"

This was the point that Xia Liu couldn’t understand.

The Nascent Soul Stage is so powerful, yet Li Yun needed mutual assistance for refining.

"Impossible, if the Extreme Cold Flame was a single attribute, then a Nascent Soul Stage Energy Body would have more than enough to refine it, but its attributes are Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat."

With one sentence, he directly dispelled Xia Liu’s confusion.

Perhaps this was also the reason he couldn’t refine the Extreme Cold Flame.

He could extract and refine some of the Extreme Heat, but when both forces are triggered together, it’s not something he can refine.

"However, it requires two cultivators both having the Fire Origin, Young Friend Xia, you already have the Wood Origin, isn’t it..."

From the recent contact with Xia Liu’s spirit power, Li Yun was essentially certain.

Xia Liu’s Wood Origin is extremely pure.

He couldn’t possibly have another origin.

Therefore, Li Yun also found it somewhat incomprehensible how Xia Liu took away the Extreme Cold Flame from the eyes of Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses.

"No problem, I also have the Fire Origin."

Speaking, Xia Liu opened his palm, and the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire roared out.

Sss...

The sound of gasping reverberated within the cave.

Li Yun and Qingqing were both stunned.

Fire Origin, Wood Origin! In the same body!

Doesn’t it mean Xia Liu possesses Dual Origin!

Moreover, judging by the intensity of the flame, it’s undoubtedly of superior tier!

"Excellent! Truly a monstrous talent!"

After regaining composure, Li Yun quickly revealed the details of the first method to Xia Liu.

After a while, Xia Liu nodded, then untied the Flowing Fire Sword from his back.

The moment the cloth was opened, the surrounding air became icy cold.

Even an Energy Body of Nascent Soul Stage found it very uncomfortable before this chill.

The coldness even surpassed the physical body, rushing directly into the meridians.

"No wonder it’s the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire! The aura is so strong!"

Li Yun had truly witnessed it.

"Senior, are you ready?"

Xia Liu asked.

"Can start anytime!"

"Great! Then as agreed, I’ll use Heavenly Gang Holy Fire for refining, you, Senior, suppress the eruption of the coldness with your peak cultivation!"

"Hm!"

After getting a reply, Xia Liu let go of the Flowing Fire Sword.

More intense coldness emanated from the soaring Flowing Fire Sword.

Along with an extreme heat sufficient to roast ordinary people.

Qingqing couldn’t bear this Dual Polar Force, she hurriedly retreated outside the cave.

Relying on the isolation formation set by Li Yun, she could feel somewhat better.

"Heavenly Gang Holy Fire Refine!"

Xia Liu Seal Decree was applied, Heavenly Gang Holy Fire surged like a sea, and in a blink, the golden holy fire completely enveloped the Flowing Fire Sword.

"Go!"

Li Yun exerted force, with her profound energy body, she sealed the coldness on the Flowing Fire Sword.

However, during the spiritual power wrapping around the Flowing Fire Sword.

She was visibly shivering.

It’s the body roaring, it’s the soul roaring!

This coldness was too strong!

But it’s okay, as long as she persists for half a quarter, and when Xia Liu has refined most of the extreme heat.

Then it will be easy to continue refining the Extreme Cold Force and a small portion of the extreme heat essence.

This is the method of separating the dual polar refining.

As Li Yun exerted force wrapping the Flowing Fire Sword, Xia Liu’s divine sense surged, and parts of the Extreme Cold Flame within the Flowing Fire Sword were squeezed out.

Then the Heavenly Gang Holy Fire suddenly soared and refined it!

However, the refinement had barely begun.

The power on the Flowing Fire Sword gradually dissipated.

"Senior?"

Agile and quick, Xia Liu hurriedly changed the Seal Decree, and exotic force emanated from the Flowing Fire Sword, absorbing back the portion of the Extreme Cold Flame that hadn’t been refined.

"No good, this Extreme Cold Force is too overpowering, if I persist a few more breaths, my body might be frozen stiff."

Exhaling cold air, Li Yun said helplessly.

"Hmm, like this, the first method fails."

Xia Liu knew the strength of the Dual Polar Force.

Back when he protected his body with Heavenly Gang Holy Fire, he couldn’t endure for long.

Just a single attribute, he could suppress with the Fire Origin.

Such a pity.

"By the way, Senior, what if I suppress the Extreme Cold Force, and you refine the Extreme Heat Force?"

Although this would lose a lot of essence, Xia Liu thought it didn’t matter.

To save himself, Li Yun faced five Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses alone.

Returned with injuries in the end.

If not repaid, it would be difficult for the heart to find peace.

"Impossible, I’ve cultivated thousands of Dao Dharma to the extreme, yet neglected the origin, even though compensating somewhat later, still unable to reach the extent of refining this Extreme Heat Force."

This explanation, Xia Liu understood.

Refining power of the same origin is immensely important for one’s origin.

Thus, let’s try another method for refining.

"Rest for a while, let’s try the second method."

Li Yun suggested.

"Okay."

While resting, Li Yun revealed the second method to Xia Liu.

This method involves using spiritual objects to protect the body, along with the deployment of one’s own origin for refining.

It’s a very powerful method.

Ultimately, one could indeed refine the Extreme Cold Flame.

But surely the body would suffer damage.

"Young Friend Xia, this is the Spirit Protection Stone I’ve acquired traveling across the Northern Realm, it can shield against frost, resist heat."

Li Yun took out two stone pieces interwove in black and white.

On the stone, there was a peculiar fluctuation.

Held in hand, it felt very comfortable.

The pressure given by Extreme Cold Flame instantly vanished by seventy percent.

"Using this object to strongly bear the pressure of the Extreme Cold Flame, then proceed to refine!"

"Excellent! This ensures the body is strong enough, otherwise during midway, if the Spirit Protection Stone shatters, it could come at a heavy price."

Li Yun explained.

"Rest assured! My physical body is far beyond any ordinary Golden Pill Stage cultivator."

Xia Liu said confidently.

With Thunder God Body in the Minor Achievement Realm, Xia Liu’s physical body could rival the Golden Pill Peak.

Additionally, Heavenly Gang Holy Fire, along with Five Elements Origin, made it irrelevant even if the Extreme Cold Flame fully erupted.

"That’s wonderful, let’s start immediately!"

...

Puh!

About half an incense stick’s time later, Li Yun withdrew her force, spitting out a mouthful of crimson blood.

Seeing this, Xia Liu simultaneously withdrew his force, smoothed the Extreme Cold Flame within the Flowing Fire Sword, and stepped forward to support Li Yun.

"Failed..."

Li Yun’s eyes appeared somewhat hollow, no matter the method, she was the first to retreat, unable to withstand.

Her Nascent Soul Stage Energy Body, incredibly, couldn’t compare to a youth...
