Chapter 33: Becoming a Grandfather

In the scorching Earth Fire Great Hall, Liang Xiao recalled the three laws of robotics from his previous life on Blue Star.

After modifying them, he handed them over to Bai Jie Daoist.

With just a few conditions, Bai Jie Daoist fell into silence. The green flames in Qin Long's eyes flickered, and although the old demon was clearly terrified, he hesitated.

However, Liang Xiao's current mental state did not allow him to continue wasting time with the old ghost. He could feel that something was off.

Indeed, using his ability to transmigrate in his mind, he briefly opened a passage to a doomsday world.

This attracted the attention of a terrifying being, and not content with that, he rashly summoned its power.

According to some legends from his previous life on Blue Star, if he didn't go insane or transform into a pile of rotten flesh or an octopus monster, he would already be considered extremely lucky as a recipient of divine favor.

However, lowering his mental sanity to a critical point still had side effects, making Liang Xiao's will to survive extremely weak at the moment.

Looking at the hesitant Bai Jie Daoist, he sympathetically spoke up,

"Have you made up your mind? If you think it's too troublesome, let's not bother anymore. Life is too tiring."

Bai Jie Daoist shivered and repeatedly waved his hands, indicating that he hadn't lived enough yet.

Originally, he wanted to negotiate with Liang Xiao again, but when he saw the latter casually weighing the Sun True Fire in his hand, his eyelids involuntarily twitched twice.

Finally, Bai Jie Daoist painfully made a heavenly oath.

During the process, this old ghost also tried to obscure certain key phrases, but Qin Long, who shared the same body with him, immediately reported it, demanding that he swear again.

After some twists and turns, Bai Jie Daoist completely gave in. With lifeless eyes, he made a grand oath, and everyone present could feel the attention from the will of the Heavenly Dao.

Although it was his first time experiencing it, there was no need for further explanation. This peculiar feeling indicated that the heavenly oath had been made.

"Now, old ghost, come out of Qin Long's sea of consciousness!"

Liang Xiao held the Sun True Fire in his hand and spoke with an unquestionable tone.

Bai Jie Daoist instantly felt a binding force from the oath in the depths of his consciousness. Reluctantly, he transformed into a green fire and left Qin Long's seven orifices.

After a series of transformations, the green fire finally condensed into an old face.

Similar to the discarded skin, his appearance was elegant, with long eyebrows and an immortal aura, but his eyes revealed a sinister strangeness.

His current true form was the nearly shattered Gold Core. After flying out, it swayed up and down, suddenly emitting a spiritual light that struck the huge furnace in the center of the Earth Fire Great Hall.

Strangely enough, while everything else in the hall was constantly heating up under the scorching of the Sun True Fire, this large, ancient-looking furnace covered in dust remained lukewarm.

Under the spiritual light, it emitted a clear and melodious sound like a bell striking.

Watching as the furnace slowly opened its lid, Bai Jie Daoist said slowly,

"Little devil, the most valuable thing in this hall is this Five Elements Purple Gold Furnace. Even if it has been roasted by magma deep underground for thousands of years, if you touch its surface, it will still be cool as usual. It's perfect for venting your Sun True Fire!"

Liang Xiao nodded. Just as he was about to step forward and throw the true fire into it, he was stopped by the pained expression on Bai Jie Daoist's face.

Bai Jie Daoist looked speechlessly at the sky. Just now, he once again felt the binding force from that strange oath, and he had to protect the interests of the former to the greatest extent possible.

Seeing Liang Xiao's confusion, Bai Jie Daoist, as if his heart was being torn apart, sent a burst of spiritual energy containing information into Liang Xiao's mind and said,

"Please hold on for a moment. The condensation of the true sun fire is not easy. It would be a pity to let it disappear like this. I have a secret technique for refining fire that can help you obtain a strand of true sun fire. It will be beneficial for both fighting enemies and refining artifacts in the future!"

Liang Xiao sneered, feeling troubled. The expression on Baijie Daoist's face almost made him lose his composure. He hadn't considered his own son's situation so thoroughly.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao had a good aptitude for comprehending spells. He quickly extracted a strand of flame essence from the true sun fireball in his hand and used the fire refining technique passed down by the old ghost to store it in his Qi Sea.

The strand of true sun fire essence was like a melting golden thread, dazzling and scorching. At this moment, it roamed within Liang Xiao's Qi Sea, occupying the central position with great spirituality.

After a short while, a warm and vigorous feeling emanated from his Qi Sea, slightly invigorating Liang Xiao's spirit. There was a hint of agility in his eyes.

"This fire can help me recover my mental willpower!"

Without much thought, Liang Xiao threw the remaining true sun fire in his hand into the Five Elements Purple Gold Furnace. Baijie Daoist quickly exerted his magical power and pressed down the furnace lid.

The continuous activation of magical power caused Baijie Daoist's Gold Core to dim by another two points.

Boom!

Inside the Five Elements Purple Gold Furnace, the out-of-control true sun fire bloomed like a lotus, but with a destructive power.

First, a wave of heat swept over, causing Baijie Daoist's Gold Core to shake up and down.

Qin Long, who had just experienced a possession, was extremely weak in spiritual power. At this moment, she was lying limp on the ground, unable to muster any magical power. She was almost about to be shaken away.

Just as she clenched her teeth and prepared to resist, Liang Xiao, as if by accident, stood in front of her, blocking most of the power with his arm covering his head and face.

"You little brat, you do have some compassion. Hmph!"

Baijie Daoist's Gold Core looked at this scene unhappily, but now that the life-threatening crisis was resolved, he also felt a sense of relief.

Inside the Five Elements Purple Gold Furnace, the true sun fire exploded several times in succession, finally releasing all its power.

Blinding light shot out from the weak seams of the furnace, and it took a while to subside.

"Thank you, Gui Ying. I never expected that we could survive."

Qin Long's phoenix-like eyes stared at Liang Xiao, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance in her heart. Her weak voice was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster and some strange emotions.

"Although it's good to be alive, I've suffered a great loss this time."

Liang Xiao, nourished by the refined true sun fire, had slightly recovered. He had some emotional fluctuations and smiled bitterly at her words.

For Qin Long, she had received the inheritance of a Nascent Soul cultivator, possessed a special physique, and had a spiritual root. If nothing unexpected happened, her future cultivation path would be smooth.

However, Liang Xiao touched the strange black mark behind his ear, and a sense of terror surged in his heart. It felt like a burn, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Indeed, he had suffered a great loss. He had rashly borrowed such a terrifying power, but what was the price?

Liang Xiao felt heavy in his heart, unsure if it was a blessing or a curse.

Because when he discovered that the consumption of the true sun fire was not enough, Liang Xiao instinctively activated his unique ability to transmigrate to the end of the world.

Previously, he had used it to transmigrate his physical body. However, in order to transmigrate his physical body, he needed a longer preparation time. Just now, in the face of the crisis, Liang Xiao obviously didn't have that time.

However, under the pressure of the crisis, Liang Xiao developed a new use for his transmigration ability. He briefly opened a passage to the end of the world with his spirit, intercepting power from another world.

This was the first time he had done such a thing.

Based on a vague intuition, he chose a terrifying and horrifying world.
