“The Qiu family has a genius who has a Fire Spirit Body?” Xiao Yun’s eyes gleamed as he listened to the other people’s discussions.

“Fire soul bodies have great affinity with Fire Essence Qi, and can endlessly absorb Heaven and Earth Fire Essence Qi to refine as one’s own True Fire,” the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow said. “Fire soul bodies gain their flames after being born, while people with Fire Martial Spirits are born with them. However, after reaching a certain level, those with fire soul bodies are not inferior to those with Fire Martial Spirits by much.

“So it’s like this.” Xiao Yun nodded. This was the first time he had heard of fire soul bodies before.

Some people asked, “How come the Qiu family’s genius didn’t come?”

“His name is Qiu Yu Feng, and is 16-years-old. He’s currently in closed-door training, and it’s said that he’s trying to break through to the True Essence realm,” someone replied.

“What? He’s attempting to break through to the True Essence realm at 16 years of age?”

“He’s truly a genius!” Everyone was completely shocked.

“It’s said that he has been recommended to the Heaven Origin Sect, and will soon enter it. If he can obtain a variant flame, he’ll be able to make some accomplishments in pill refining. If that happens, he’ll have a chance to be a core disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect, and his future will be limitless!”

“Looks like the Qiu family’s going to rise to great heights.”

“No wonder even that Qiu Xuan Feng is personally acting and looking for opportunities here. It’s said that it has been quite a few years since he stepped into the Essence Core realm!” The cultivators of various families realised why Qiu Xuan Feng had taken the risk to come to this Skyfire Inheritor Palace himself.

“Qiu Yu Feng?” When heard these discussions, Xiao Yun’s eyes gleamed as he muttered, “Looks like I’ll have to stop the Qiu family if possible!” If such a person could obtain a variant flame, things would become troublesome. Xiao Yun walked towards the fire chasm.

By now, there were many cultivators slowly walking down the steps. The sea of flames in the Skyfire Chasm continued to recede, and the grand palace was gradually revealed to everyone. The sparkling glazed tiles gave off dazzling light, which made the entire place look like a celestial palace.

“Is this the Skyfire Inheritor Palace?” Everyone looked down, and their hearts trembled upon seeing the gigantic palace. It was amazing to think that this palace was not destroyed by those flames. This palace was like an ancient giant lying among the sea of flames, with bridges made of chains extending to the entrance of the palace.

Qiu Xuan Feng stood at the head of all of the other families’ cultivators, and all of them stood in front of the bridge of chains, waiting for the flames to recede more.

There were 6 people in total from the Qiu family. Apart from Qiu Xuan Feng, there were 2 elders and 3 youths. The youths were all at the complete stage of the Innate realm, and were all here to seek opportunities.

Even though they did not have fire soul bodies, they possessed affinity with Fire Essence Qi. Using special techniques, they could absorb flames, and this Skyfire Inheritor Palace was a rare opportunity with them. If they could obtain a Fire Spirit and change their const.i.tution, they would be like a fish that leapt through the dragon’s gate.

It wasn’t just the Qiu family that was like this – all of the other families had brought 1 or 2 youths, all of whom wanted to find opportunities within the Skyfire Inheritor Palace. If they could control fire, they had a chance at becoming a Pill Refiner, and their status would greatly rise. As such, no family wanted to miss this opportunity.

This was because the Skyfire Inheritor Palace had not opened only just 1 or 2 times – it would open every 10 years. Back then, many experts had come, but many had returned in low spirits. What’s more, even Essence Core realm experts had fallen, striking fear into everyone’s hearts. As such, very few Essence Core realm experts had come since then.

With Qiu Xuan Feng present, all of the cultivators from the other families could only wait behind him.

The sea of flames in front of them tossed and turned, and heatwaves continuously rolled out. Finally after a while, the flames finally completely receded. The gigantic palace was completely revealed to the crowd, as was the magma flowing around it.

“The Skyfire Palace has completely appeared. We can move now.” Qiu Xuan Feng’s eyes gleamed and he stepped out towards the bridge of chains. As he took a step, Essence Qi gathered under his feet.

The bridge was made of iron chains and was incredibly hot after being covered by the flames from such a long time. Normal people who stepped on it would burn their feet off, and it was both strange and amazing that the chains were not melted by the flames.

With Qiu Xuan Feng in the lead, the rest of the Qiu family’s people followed behind him.

Although there were 5 sets of stairs descending down the chasm, there was only a single bridge leading to the Skyfire Inheritor Palace. As people started to step onto the bridge of chains and walk onto the Skyfire Inheritor Palace, Xiao Yun reached the boundary of the fire chasm.

However, before he could reach it, he was stopped by someone.

“Who are you?” A middle-aged man walked over, looking at Xiao Yun coldly as he said, “Idlers aren’t allowed in. Get out of here, otherwise don’t blame me for being discourteous.” This was one of the Qiu family’s people left behind to guard the stairs.

“The Qiu family’s people are quite domineering!” Xiao Yun frowned as he saw the person walk over in the attempt to chase him away.

In actuality, there were cultivators from other families also guarding the stairs, but only the Qiu family’s people had stopped him.

“Does this Skyfire Chasm belong to your family?” Xiao Yun did not stop at all.

Now that the sea of flames had receded and the Skyfire Inheritor Palace had appeared, many cultivators had stepped onto the bridge of chains and made their way towards the palace. He couldn’t afford to be late and allow the Qiu family’s people to obtain the legacy within.

“Our Qiu family’s experts have come here to obtain the treasures of the Skyfire Inheritor Palace. How can we allow a brat like you to go in and disturb them?” That man coldly replied, “Hurry up and scram, or your elder really will have to teach you some manners. A 16 or 17-year-old brat wants to enter the Skyfire Inheritor Palace?”

“Weren’t there also people from these families who went in? Why didn’t you stop them?” Xiao Yun asked.

The person from the Qiu family coldly laughed, “These people are all from the Moonwind Kingdom’s large families; how can you compare to them?”

“Is that boy stupid?” Not too far away, the people from the other families started to smile mockingly.

“Get out of my way.” Xiao Yun did not bother saying anything else and glared at the man.

“You’re seeking death.” The man from the Qiu family’s gaze darkened and he smashed out his palm, giving off a powerful aura.

Black Eagle Claws!

The man’s body soared as Essence Qi swept out, and his hand formed a claw, as if he was an eagle trying to grab a rabbit.

This was a Black grade advanced level Martial Skill which formed the image of an actual unstoppable eagle’s claw.

Dragon Snake Devour Heavens!

Xiao Yun’s eyes glinted as Essence Qi swept out from within his body. His hands moved, turning into a dragon and snake which opened their mouths and rushed towards the eagle claw. The dragon and snake completely destroyed the Essence Qi that formed the eagle claw, and knocked the man flying.

Bang!

A m.u.f.fled explosion sounded out as the man fell from the air like a kite with its string broken.

“Qiu Long was actually sent flying.” The Qiu family’s other cultivators looked on in shock.

“Looks like this boy has some strength.” Everyone else was quite surprised as they never thought that such a youthful-looking person would have such power. After all, Qiu Long was at the late stage of the Innate realm, and could be said to be quite strong. How could normal people defeat him so easily?

Xiao Yun calmly looked at the man on the ground. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the stairs that the Qiu family was guarding. He hadn’t wanted to fight with the Qiu family’s people, but these people were simply too arrogant. As such, he wanted to knock them down from their high horse.

After this, Xiao Yun started to walk towards the stairs that the Qiu family was guarding.

“This boy’s not very smart; he dares to offend even the Qiu family?”

“If it was me, I would immediately run. He dares to continue forwards? Doesn’t he know how powerful the Qiu family is?” Not too far outside the Skyfire Chasm, many people were looking on. Even though they didn’t dare to go down, they were quite curious about it all. When they saw Xiao Yun had dared to offend the Qiu family, they sneered as they watched on in indifference.

Xiao Yun’s expression remained calm as he sauntered forwards. If he lived with fear in his heart, how could he become a powerful expert?

“Brat, you dared to hurt my Qiu family’s people; you’re simply seeking death.” An elder with a malicious gaze in his eyes walked over, coldly looking at Xiao Yun. This was a True Essence realm expert, and the aura that he gave off caused even the air to tremble.

This elder stood with his hands behind his back, blocking off Xiao Yun’s path like a gigantic mountain. The air that he gave off was enough to strike fear into those around him.

“The Qiu family’s True Essence realm expert’s about to act.”

“This brat’s doomed.” The spectators breathed in a breath of cold air. The True Essence realm was simply too powerful, and everyone who felt this aura could not help but tremble. How could this youth resist such a powerful person?

“True Essence realm?” Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes, not fearing that person at all. He continued walking as he said calmly, “Please make way.”

“What? That boy asked a True Essence realm cultivator to make way?” Just as Xiao Yun spoke, everyone felt incredibly dumbfounded.

Was this something that a youth at the Innate realm should be saying? Everyone wondered if there was something wrong with their ears.

The crowd fell silent. Had the world suddenly changed, or had this youth gone mad?

“I haven’t seen a youth like you in a long time!” The Qiu family’s True Essence realm cultivator gave an amused smile as he said, “This sort of arrogance will only bring you disaster.” In the next instant, his eyes became cold as he suddenly stretched out his hands from behind his back.

This was a pair of incredibly pale hands which gave off a fiendish aura.

At the sight of those hands some people cried out, “Could this person be Dark Fiend Hands, Qiu Chen?”

“It’s said that this person’s Dark Fiend Palms are incredibly powerful. Once hit, the fiendish qi will invade one’s body, destroying their meridians. This sort of person is incredibly difficult to deal with; with him acting, it looks like this youth will be crippled at the very least.” Discussions erupted out, and even some of the cultivators of the other families watched on in amus.e.m.e.nt.

“Brat, if you kneel down I’ll spare your life and will only cripple you.” A sinister look appeared within Qiu Chen’s eyes as he spoke coldly to Xiao Yun, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

“You want me to kneel down?” Xiao Yun’s eyes glinted and his expression turned incredibly cold.
