Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Fire Poison Nutrient Chapter 1456: Chapter 1456: Fire Poison Nutrient “For Ye Qiubai, within the same realm… or even a realm higher, as long as they were sword cultivators, Ye Qiubai could crush their Sword Dao.”

“Moreover, Ye Qiubai had already stepped into the threshold of the sword origin.”

Commander Wei, standing by, was left somewhat speechless by these words.

So, when Ye Qiubai said he didn’t want other sword cultivators found for him to spar with, it wasn’t because he feared their Sword Dao… but because his Sword Dao could overwhelm those of the same realm.

Feeling the endless and omnipresent sword qi within the Sword Domain, Commander Wei looked serious and soon shook his head helplessly. He sheathed his sword and cupped his hands towards Ye Qiubai, “Your Sword Dao is far superior to mine; Commander Ren admits defeat.”

Being able to let go after picking up is what allows one to travel further down the path of Sword Dao.

Commander Ren was clearly such a person.

And Commander Ren’s straightforward admission of defeat shocked Huo Shuyun and the others.

Among the four commanders, Commander Ren was known to be the proudest, making him conceding defeat a difficult feat.

Ye Qiubai also sheathed his sword and returned the gesture, “I just got lucky. My Sword Dao happens to have a restrictive effect on other sword cultivators.”

Commander Ren shook his head, “A loss is a loss. Even without this domain, based solely on your achievements in Sword Dao, you’ve already far surpassed me.”

This… are they starting to flatter each other now?

Commander Wei quickly interrupted the two, fearing they would fall into endless mutual courtesy, “Alright, enough, both of you. There’s still one more test.”

Commander Ren said indifferently, “Isn’t this enough for Brother Ye to join?”

Commander Wei couldn’t help but roll his eyes. That’s what he would like as well.

Having a commander of such strength join their Black Fire lineage would bring significant improvement.

However… he had already given his word, having declared there would be three tests. To change course now would seem somewhat too opportunist and lose face.

Commander Wei cleared his throat heavily and then said, “Rules cannot be abandoned. Please understand.”

Ye Qiubai nodded, “What’s the last test?”

“Well, since our Shenxuan Fire Sect focuses on the fire attribute, naturally we need to test Brother Ye’s proficiency in Fire Dao.”

“Of course, we are already aware that Brother Ye’s mastery over Fire Dao is exceedingly exceptional. However, this does not mean that your resistance to flames is on par.”

While a high-level mastery over a certain Dao Law certainly enhances resistance to some extent, the enhancement is only stronger by one level compared to those who have not cultivated the corresponding Fire Dao Law.

Unless one has reached an extremely heaven-defying level in Fire Dao Law, that is, the origin power, resistance would still require a direct approach, which is to withstand with one’s body and gradually cultivate it, akin to the way one tempers one’s body.

“As you know, the fire poison here is extremely severe, and those from the Shenxuan Fire Sect, during every attack, carry an even stronger fire poison. Later, when inevitable battles with other branches occur, it’s best to check for precaution.”

Ye Qiubai nodded, “How will it be tested?”

Commander Wei looked down towards the crater of the volcano, where lava boiled and churned.

Bubbles rose and burst, releasing a fire-red breath of extremely dense fire poison.

“Jump in, endure the fire poison using only your Fire Dao Law, and come out when you feel you can’t bear it anymore.”

Ye Qiubai nodded.

Without a second thought, he leaped down!

Commander Wei had just taken out a medicinal pill when he saw Ye Qiubai jump down like that and was taken aback.

“You haven’t eaten the Divine Fire Pill yet…”

Even they needed to consume the Divine Fire Pill to withstand the lava directly!

Commander Ren’s expression darkened, “If there’s a problem, I’ll go in and rescue him.”

Such a talent must not be allowed to die in vain.

Everyone stood at the crater of the volcano, all looking down as Ye Qiubai plunged straight into the lava with a “plop,” concern inevitably arising in their eyes.

In contrast to Commander Wei and others’ concern, Ye Qiubai, who had fallen into the lava, felt extremely comfortable…

It was as if a fish had returned to the sea.

As if a bird had returned to the sky.

It felt just like coming home…

The fire poison initially eroded Ye Qiubai’s body with extreme intensity, but upon entering his body, it instantly changed its attitude, trembling and becoming extremely submissive, voluntarily integrating into Ye Qiubai’s body.

Mm… it continuously nourished Ye Qiubai’s body.

If those on the outside knew the fire poison they greatly feared nourished Ye Qiubai like nutrients…

They would probably disassemble Ye Qiubai to see just what kind of physique he had.

“Hmm… But it seems there was no mention of how long to stay here…” Ye Qiubai thought for a moment, then nonchalantly said, “Never mind, just treat it as training, and I’ll go up when they call me.”

Time passed by, second by second.

Ye Qiubai sat cross-legged in the lava as if asleep, his expression relaxed.

Above him, Commander Wei and others were anxious.

“Why isn’t there any movement?”

“It’s been an incense stick to burn… No sign of movement, could something have happened?”

Commander Ren shook his head, “It shouldn’t be, Brother Ye has reached the threshold of the sword origin, and he also embodies the endless Dao Law. Even if he couldn’t handle it, he would rely on these two to escape, let’s wait a bit longer.”

Another time passed…

Even Commander Ren began to look anxious.

Huo Shuyun cautiously said, “Could it be that the fire poison has overwhelmed him, and he’s fainted? If that’s the case, Senior Ye is probably in danger.”

Commander Wei asked, “Shall I go down?”

No sooner had he spoken, than Commander Ren had already vanished from his spot and leaped into the lava.

Watching this scene, Huo Shuyun said, “Is Commander Ren actually such a person?”

Commander Wei shook his head, “Never seen it before.”

Or was this the mutual sympathy between sword cultivators, hitting it off just right?

When Commander Wei arrived below the lava, he searched around anxiously, even calling out, “Brother Ye!”

However, as soon as the words were spoken, Commander Wei was stunned when he looked in one direction.

There, in front of him, sat Ye Qiubai cross-legged, suspended in the lava, with fire poison continuously infiltrating his body.

This deadly poison seemed to become nourishment for Ye Qiubai at this moment, having no effect on him.

Just as Commander Wei was stunned,

Ye Qiubai, sensing Commander Wei’s presence, opened his eyes and asked, “Hmm? Is it enough time?”

Commander Wei: “…”

It was as if he had a lump in his throat.

Normally, just being able to endure half an incense stick of time would be considered a pass, especially when taking a Divine Fire Pill.

Thinking this, Commander Wei said with difficulty, “It’s passed…”

He truly was embarrassed to say that enduring just half an incense stick of time would suffice…
