Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: Ash Fire! Chapter 1453: Chapter 1453: Ash Fire! Grandpa Medicine seemed to know a great deal about Ye Qiubai.

Not only did he know that Ye Qiubai would come here, but he also saw through his physical condition in a glance.

When Grandpa Medicine left earlier, he had said,

“You will have a major cause and effect with the Green Cloud Sword Master, and this cause and effect is unavoidable. At the same time, if you manage to endure it, it will bring you immeasurable benefits. However, if you fail, you may disappear from this world, and the name Ye Qiubai will be thoroughly replaced.”

“And your Sword Bone, if not tempered, gives you less than a ten percent chance to endure, because within this Sword Bone lies the remnant power of the Green Cloud Sword Master’s soul.”

“With the power of the Green Wood Spiritual Pool and the forceful cleansing by the Ash Fire, only then can your Sword Bone be truly complete. As for how much power you can gain from it depends on your destiny.”

Hearing these words,

Ye Qiubai fully believed Grandpa Medicine, as he too realized he might face a calamity with the Green Cloud Sword Master, though it was still unknown to whom it truly belonged.

While enduring extreme pain, the Primordial Sword Scripture operated wildly, pressing the sword intent and immortal aura around the Sword Bone. Under the combined protection of the endless intent from the Green Wood Spiritual Pool and the endless intent within the Primordial Sword Scripture, it resisted the erosion of the Ash Fire.

This way, the Sword Bone could be kept from melting.

The pain was unbearable; even the muscles inside his body were violently contracting.

Inside the Sword Bone, a “hissing” sound was emitted, followed by soul-shrieking sounds echoing throughout the cavern!

Without thinking, this was the soul of the Green Cloud Sword Master.

Suddenly, a strand of white soul body burst out from Ye Qiubai’s body and moved outside the cave.

Grandpa Medicine was standing right at the entrance at that moment.

The white soul body stopped before Grandpa Medicine and condensed into an extremely ephemeral human form.

Face, body shape, all were very vague.

It looked just like a strand of consciousness and could not yet be called a soul.

Grandpa Medicine raised his eyebrows and looked at this consciousness, where the pervasive sword intent was unmistakable. With a smile, he said, “How is it, couldn’t resist it?”

The consciousness of the Green Cloud Sword Master had indiscernible eyes, but Grandpa Medicine could feel his intense gaze fixed upon him.

“Who exactly are you? And who taught Ye Qiubai his cultivation techniques?”

Grandpa Medicine smiled and shook his head, “I cannot answer the latter question, and as for the first… I am merely an attendant, nothing worth mentioning.”

An attendant?

The Green Cloud Sword Master said solemnly, “A person like you is only an attendant? Even the Chaos Divine Dynasty of the past had no one who could compare to you.”

Grandpa Medicine benignly smiled, “It’s not about comparison; I simply know a few herbs and can concoct a pot or two of medicinal soup.”

“What is your relationship with him?”

“…” Grandpa Medicine thought for a moment, reflecting, “No relationship.”

Seeing Grandpa Medicine’s expression and his eyes filled with myriad thoughts as if he had been through great turbulations, the Green Cloud Sword Master would not believe these words.

“Although you will erase my remnant soul from the Sword Bone, there will still be many opportunities afterward. Can you always stay by his side?”

Grandpa Medicine looked unconcerned, still smiling, “In the journey of life, one can rely on others, but ultimately, the path belongs to oneself. He will solve the problems to come on his own, and I trust he has the capacity to do so.”

The Green Cloud Sword Master nodded, “I also quite trust myself; perhaps we will meet again soon.”

After these words, the consciousness of the Green Cloud Sword Master completely dissipated.

The agonizing screams in the cave gradually ceased.

Grandpa Medicine looked towards the cave and said with a faint smile, “We will not meet again…”

After he finished speaking, he slowly walked into the cave.

Inside the Green Wood Spiritual Pool, Ye Qiubai’s expression was indifferent as streaks of the Dao Law of Sword rampaged through the cave!

The rock walls of the cave were marked with cracks, yet the area surrounding the Green Wood Spiritual Pool and the wooden fire remained entirely undisturbed.

The temperature of the Ash Fire had begun to decrease, and it transformed into an extraordinarily gentle flame, which started to merge into Ye Qiubai’s body.

“I wonder how much you can take?” Grandpa Medicine said with a smile.

He then took out a large iron pot, picked up a piece of wood burning with Ash Fire from beside the Green Wood Spiritual Pool, placed it beneath the pot, and then threw in some unknown herbs and oddly shaped objects into the pot to stew randomly.

Ash Fire.

This was a divine fire evolved from the Flame Origin power.

Although Ye Qiubai had previously experienced the Fire Intent, that was merely scenery, and after leaving the Low Latitude Realm, he had abandoned the Fire Intent and did not continue to cultivate it.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Qiubai certainly could not have absorbed the Ash Fire so quickly.

However, it was precisely because of Grandpa Medicine’s pieces of wood.

These contained a calming effect and also exuded a kind of wood fragrance that incessantly enhanced Ye Qiubai’s ability to perceive.

Under these circumstances, Ye Qiubai reached the Celestial Realm…

This state in the Celestial Realm lasted for a full seven days.

When Ye Qiubai opened his eyes, the aura of the Celestial Realm had just dissipated.

Ye Qiubai immediately took out the Yuncang Sword, and with a slight movement of his thoughts, a fiery red flame covered the sword!

At the moment the flames appeared, the space in the cave began to distort.

The water in the Green Wood Spiritual Pool boiled again.

With a swing of the sword in his hand, the Ash Fire twined around the sword qi, and a fiery slashing strike was launched!

At this moment, Grandpa Medicine raised his hand, caught the slashing strike in his palm, and after squeezing it slightly, he smiled and said, “Not bad, you seem to have grasped the threshold of the origin power, and you’ve almost mastered the Ash Fire too. Drink this medicine.”

Ye Qiubai looked at the pot of fiery red medicinal soup, didn’t think too much, walked over to pick it up, and then drank it.

The drink felt less like a bowl of medicinal soup and more like a basin of lava…

In an instant, Ye Qiubai’s body turned fiery red.

“Absorb this power, and your Ash Fire should also be able to initially step into the realm of origin.”

Enduring the burning pain, Ye Qiubai sat down cross-legged and continued to absorb.

A day later, the fiery redness on Ye Qiubai’s body gradually faded, and his realm had also entered the Intermediate Stage of the Ancestral Realm.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Grandpa Medicine had already vanished, leaving only a note behind.

“Just follow the current path, and you can rely more on your master.”

Master?

Why did Grandpa Medicine mention the master?

Ye Qiubai shook his head, tucked the note away, and then walked out of the cave.

Outside, the sect leader of the Green Wood Sect and Lei Feng were waiting. Seeing Ye Qiubai come out, they approached with a smile: “Little Friend Ye, do you need anything else? As long as our Green Wood Sect has it, we can get it for you.”

Such an attitude… probably out of consideration for Grandpa Medicine.

Ye Qiubai did not stand on ceremony and asked, “The Divine Profound Fire Soul, the Core of the Celestial Spirit Heart, do you know these two ingredients?”

Just asking, no harm meant.
