The middle-aged man's body was engulfed by three-colored flames. With a thunderous boom, his body exploded, flesh and blood scattering everywhere, and a miniature nascent soul flew out.
As soon as the miniature nascent soul emerged, the red-clad woman's eyes shone with dazzling blue light, each emitting a beam of blue light.
A shrill scream pierced the air as the miniature nascent soul was struck by a blue beam, dissolving into specks of spiritual light and vanishing.
The red giant's body suddenly disintegrated into seven dim red banners, which fell to the ground.
"Kill, kill, kill..."
The red-clad woman's face twisted in madness, clearly trapped in an illusion.
Countless blue mists suddenly appeared in the void, condensing into a gigantic, ethereal blue hand that slapped towards the red-clad woman.
The red-clad woman seemed oblivious, bursting into maniacal laughter.
The blue hand slapped down, leaving a massive handprint on the ground. The red-clad woman lay within the imprint, her body covered in wounds, bleeding profusely.
An ethereal blue sound wave swept forth, tearing the ground into pieces wherever it passed.
The blue sound wave passed through the red-clad woman's body. Her eyes widened, lifeless, her internal organs completely shattered.
A miniature nascent soul flew out of her body. After only a hundred feet, a joyful zither melody sounded, and the miniature nascent soul suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air. An ethereal blue giant pagoda descended from the sky and absorbed the nascent soul.
The blue water curtain suddenly dissipated, revealing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan standing on the ground, Wang Ruyan drenched in sweat.
After Wang Changsheng advanced to the late Deity Transformation stage, their combined magic power and spiritual sense approached the Void Refinement stage. Without protective exotic treasures or strong spiritual sense, it was easy for others to fall into their illusions.
Wang Changsheng beckoned with one hand, and the blue giant pagoda rapidly shrank, flying back into his hand.
Ning Lan flew over from a distance. Wang Ruyan's illusion technique was so powerful that Ning Lan had to steer clear.
"Junior Brother Wang, this is your spiritual flame."
As Ning Lan spoke, he conjured a delicate red miniature pagoda, which emitted a red glow. A cluster of bluish-white flames appeared in the void, radiating terrifying heat.
The spiritual flame cultivated by the Blazeflame Clan was quite formidable; even the Profound Jade Ice Flame couldn't match it. However, since its master's true body was destroyed, Wang Changsheng could refine this spiritual flame to enhance the power of his Profound Jade Ice Flame.
He performed an incantation, and the white flame suddenly condensed, separating from the blue flame and transforming into a white cold serpent, which flew back into Wang Changsheng's sleeve and vanished.
Wang Changsheng conjured a blue refining furnace and collected the blue flame.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere to chat leisurely!" Wang Changsheng suggested.
They quickly cleared the battlefield and left the area.
About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them appeared in an underground cave.
Ning Lan recounted his experiences to Wang Changsheng in detail. After entering the Profound Spirit Grotto-heaven, he met a fellow disciple, and they collaborated on treasure hunting. By chance, they discovered the Blazeflame Clan pursuing humans and intervened to help. Unexpectedly, the Blazeflame Clan was incredibly powerful; had Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan not arrived in time, they would have been in grave danger.
"This time, we owe it to Junior Brother Wang and Junior Sister Wang. Otherwise, I would have perished." Ning Lan expressed his gratitude. He had two fifth-tier spirit beasts, but both had died at the hands of the Blazeflame Clan.
"Senior Brother Li's belongings will be returned to his relatives once we leave this place. As for the wealth of the other four individuals, let's divide it!"
Wang Changsheng took out four storage rings of different colors. With a flick of his sleeve, a colorful glow swept past, revealing a pile of items on the ground. There were over a dozen low-grade Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures, including one mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Three Flames Spirit-Exterminating Spear.
Ning Lan, knowing his place, only requested two Heaven-reaching Spiritual Treasures and ten millennium spiritual herbs, leaving the rest to Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. In fact, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan could have kept everything, but they chose not to.
Among the four individuals' possessions were a sixth-tier enemy-trapping talisman and two sets of fifth-tier formations. With this, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan now had six sixth-tier talismans: two for offense, two for trapping enemies, and two for escape, which was quite good.
The four individuals' possessions also contained many millennium spiritual herbs, including five three-thousand-year-old ones, along with some ore and spirit insect eggs.
"By the way, Junior Brother Wang, let's soul-search that Blazeflame Clan nascent soul to see if we can get any useful information," Ning Lan suggested.
"Foreign races might have restrictions placed on them. Ordinary methods won't work. Let me try instead!" Wang Ruyan volunteered, thinking empathetically. If she were from a foreign race, she would definitely place restrictions on her subordinates to prevent soul-searching. Elite disciples of Zhenhai Palace also had such anti-soul-searching restrictions.
Wang Changsheng nodded and said to Ning Lan, "Senior Brother Ning, please guard us outside while we soul-search the nascent soul."
Wise from age, Ning Lan discreetly left.
Wang Ruyan flicked her sleeve, and a constantly flickering blue magic disk flew out, hovering high above.
Wang Changsheng released the red-clad woman's nascent soul, which had a shimmering silver talisman affixed to its surface.
The nascent soul floated above the blue magic disk. The disk illuminated with countless dazzling runes, emitting a blue light that enveloped the nascent soul. Her fingers swept across the zither strings, and a joyful melody filled the air.
Outside the cave, hearing the zither music, Ning Lan was startled and quickly flew far away. With his cultivation level, he simply couldn't resist it.
Fifteen minutes later, the zither music ceased.
Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan emerged from the cave, their expressions solemn.
Ning Lan flew over and asked, "How was it? Junior Brother Wang, did you find out the Blazeflame Clan's objective?"
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Their objective is a cluster of Stone Flame. They sent many masters, including an avatar of a Body Integration cultivator."
"Stone Flame?" A flicker of surprise crossed Ning Lan's eyes. Stone Flame, Wood Flame, and Sky Flame could form the True Samadhi Fire, which possessed immense power and incredible divine abilities.
"An avatar of a Body Integration cultivator?" Ning Lan frowned deeply. This was not good news. Even if the avatar only had Deity Transformation stage cultivation, its divine abilities should not be underestimated.
"The location of the Stone Flame likely has sixth-tier demonic beasts. The Blazeflame Clan won't get it that easily. We have other missions, so we don't need to concern ourselves with the Blazeflame Clan," Wang Ruyan stated solemnly.
Wang Changsheng nodded and said, "Let's go! We need to head to a certain place first. We must obtain what Ancestor Chen needs."
Using illusion techniques, they extracted many secrets from the Blazeflame Clan members. The most valuable item was a secret art called the Five Flames Spirit Forging Art, which involved collecting five fifth-tier spiritual flames of different attributes to replace the Five Elements for advancing to the Void Refinement stage. Additionally, there were some methods for cultivating spiritual flames, but these were relatively shallow and not very valuable.
Generally, Deity Transformation cultivators needed to achieve Five Elements Unity to advance to the Void Refinement stage. However, a rare few Deity Transformation cultivators could reach the Void Refinement stage without Five Elements Unity, but such instances were extremely rare.
