This time, every single feather on the White Crane's wings shone with dazzling cyan radiance, displaying its power to the absolute limit.
As its wings swept outward, the ruins seemed as though they were about to split apart. Terrifying fluctuations spread wildly in every direction, and the ruins themselves truly appeared to crack open.
A gigantic fissure formed overhead. Beyond the shattered sky, it was as though clouds and mist had been parted, revealing an endless ocean. Above that ocean, Fang Yu saw countless sea demons of all different forms roaring toward the heavens.
And while they roared, the cyan White Crane swooped downward. Facing that ocean, it opened its beak and released a cry that echoed through time itself.
Under that cry, the entire ocean was engulfed in cyan flames before Fang Yu's dumbfounded, horrified gaze. In an instant, it was as though the sea itself was being refined. Countless seawaters and sea demons were burned into drops of flame, gathering into streams of cyan energy that rapidly surged toward the White Crane's mouth.
From afar, it looked as though it was drinking the sea itself.
The next moment, amidst Fang Yu's shock, the cyan White Crane suddenly turned its head.
Its bright, spirited eyes pierced through time itself, causing the river of time to flow in reverse and transcending space entirely.
In the end, from countless ages in the distant past, its gaze landed upon Fang Yu.
As Fang Yu's mind trembled violently, he heard a gentle voice.
"This is my Natal Flame Seed, Cyan Flame. It refines all things, transforms them into energy, and restores oneself."
The next instant, all the scenes before Fang Yu shattered apart and collapsed completely, pulling him back from that ancient vision.
Everything had merely been an illusion, a recording of events from the distant past.
Reality returned.
The cyan crane-like creature let out a cry. Its feathers continuously drifted away as its aura gradually dissipated, finally transforming into a Fire Seed burning with cyan flames.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Suddenly, the feather plume in Fang Yu's hand ignited.
It burned fiercely with cyan glow colored flames. At the same time, Fang Yu could feel his heart pounding violently, while the blood throughout his body began to boil and seethe inexplicably, as though it too would ignite together with the feather.
Scorching, yet gentle!
That was Fang Yu's current sensation.
Whether it was the boiling within his body or the flames burning upon the feather in his hand, despite their intense combustion, there was not the slightest trace of aggression. Most flames spread endlessly as they burned, but these flames always remained confined within a fixed range.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~~~"
A mysterious fluctuation suddenly appeared from nowhere, like an orderly gust of wind sweeping through the ruins.
The sea of flames around the ruins began to drift upward, while the Fire Seed overhead slowly rotated. Every object seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, all pointing toward Fang Yu.
Before Fang Yu could even react, both the sea of flames and the Fire Seed flew toward him, burning intensely as they moved.
Fang Yu's heart and blood were already in a blazing state. As those objects "collided" into him, they all melted into his body in the form of flames!
Within the ruins, the sea of flames was enormous. In an instant, countless ripples of fire appeared around Fang Yu, all orderly merging into his body.
This sudden embrace caught even Fang Yu off guard.
But the feeling was truly indescribable.
He was wrapped within an even more powerful Fire Element force, and it was completely merging into his body!
Standing within the sea of flames, Fang Yu's consciousness became exceptionally clear. He could see that immense energy had already invaded his spiritual universe.
Fire...
His spiritual universe erupted into blazing flames. Fire covered the entire spiritual world, burning brilliantly and illuminating the universe itself!
At this moment, Fang Yu's spiritual universe underwent tremendous changes. Flames continuously drifted into his Fire Element Nebula, while the stars within the nebula trembled violently as they underwent constant transformation.
After some time, all of the stars transformed into cyan-red colors.
His Fire Element cultivation also broke through to the second level of the Mid-Tier.
But before Fang Yu could rejoice, the mysterious ancient tree standing within his spiritual world also burst forth with dazzling radiance.
Half of the flame energy was absorbed by it.
Inside the ancient tree, as the energy flowed into its branches, a spherical object gradually formed, about the size of an apple and crimson red in color.
The fire sphere resembled a brilliant red agate, crystal-clear and radiant. Magnificent scarlet divine light coiled around the ancient tree, making it appear incomparably mysterious.
It complemented the ice sphere hanging on the opposite side perfectly.
The transformation was complete.
Fang Yu's eyes now shone with cyan brilliance, and even his skin carried traces of cyan-red light.
Like the incarnation of flame itself, his entire body was wrapped in cyan fire.
A flame overflowing with vitality enveloped Fang Yu, healing the injuries that had remained on his body from before.
The broken and displaced bones within Fang Yu's body rapidly returned to their original positions under the healing effects of the flames.
His injuries recovered at an astonishing speed, even Healing Mages might not possess such ability.
Life aura far surpassing High-Tier healing magic was continuously infused into his body through an extremely terrifying level of control. It would have been difficult for his injuries not to heal.
Fang Yu felt as though everything was a dream. By the time he opened his eyes again, he had already fully recovered.
"The feather is disappearing?" Fang Yu tightly gripped the feather in his hand as it slowly dissipated.
"A flame seed bestowed by a Totem?"
Fang Yu knew some things about Totems, but for now, he still could not identify which Totem Beast this feather belonged to.
Moreover, this Totem Beast had already perished through the passage of time.
It had left behind its flame seed, while its own existence had faded from the world. Whether it could ever revive again was unknown.
Although this wondrous underground journey had not placed him in any danger, the experiences within felt like wandering through an immortal dreamscape.
At this moment, Fang Yu felt incomparably energized, and waves of throbbing energy came from his spiritual universe.
Looking inward at his spiritual universe, every star within the Fire Element Nebula appeared strengthened, burning with cyan flames and shining brilliantly.
This was the gift left behind by the "cyan Totem crane creature"—its divine flame seed.
Fang Yu played around with the cyan flames he had just obtained, enjoying himself immensely.
The cyan crane creature had bestowed upon him a flame seed, granting his Fire Element Nebula some of the essence of the cyan divine fire.
The cyan flame seed Fang Yu possessed displayed a crystal-clear, glazed brilliance both inside and out.
When he released a Basic-Tier Spell: Fire Burst, the cyan fireball shattered against the scattered rocks, splashing out crystalline sparks that were excessively gorgeous.
Cyan Flame!
Over the long passage of time, too much of its energy had already been depleted. Even so, it still granted nearly a threefold amplification to his Fire Element.
Moreover, it could absorb energy to restore consumed magical energy or heal his own injuries.
As expected of a flame seed left behind by a Totem, truly terrifying.
Right now, the strength of the Cyan Flame was only at the level of a top-grade Spirit Seed, but its future potential was limitless!
As it continued to be nourished by Fire Element treasures, it would constantly awaken more of its own latent potential.
Taking out a fresh set of clothes from his storage space and putting them on, Fang Yu walked barefoot through the underground cavern. After being tempered by the cyan divine flames, his physical constitution had improved by far more than just a little, absolutely no weaker than ordinary demon creatures.
Not only had his physical strength greatly increased, but all the scars and hidden injuries left on his body had also been completely repaired.
Fang Yu continued traveling nonstop. Whenever he grew tired, he would find a pile of rocks to rest beside briefly.
Along the way, he encountered quite a few demon creatures, which happened to help him adapt to his Fire Element magic. Whether it was the scorching temperature of the cyan flames or the rapid recovery of magical energy, both filled him with delight.
One day later, he finally left the underground region and returned to the surface.
The return journey was fairly smooth.
Because the cyan crane had revived and the sea of flames erupted once more, many of the creatures within the Dazu Rock Carvings had naturally retreated into their nests rather than continue wandering outside.
The Mages had long since evacuated as well.
After returning to the ancient city and taking some time to rest and reorganize himself.
Within the alleyways, Fang Yu once again stepped into the courtyard filled with ancient charm, the Ancient Relics Exhibition Hall.
However, the courtyard had already been closed today. Even after knocking several times, no one answered the door, so Fang Yu simply turned around and left.
