Chapter 400 Skyfire Island, Blazing Fire Tower
Skyfire Island is famous throughout the world because of the Blazing Fire Tower.
Today marks the annual opening of the Blazing Fire Tower, and the entire Skyfire City is bustling with activity as cultivators gather.
More than 100,000 cultivators eagerly awaited the arrival of the legendary figure, Venerable Qianyan.
Venerable Qianyan, whose real name is Yang Yi.
Before he rose to prominence, the Yang family was just an ordinary Golden Core family, even somewhat weak and without much fame.
However, the wheel of fortune is always unpredictable.
Since Yang Yi refined the Great Sun Blazing Fire, he has risen like a dragon emerging from the sea, soaring into the sky and leading the Yang family to rapid rise, becoming unstoppable.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he single-handedly seized Skyfire Island and established Skyfire City.
Afterwards, he recruited many talented people and taught the method of using different flames, which attracted cultivators from the sea area near Tianhuo City to come and seek his guidance. In a short time, his reputation spread far and wide.
There are even rumors that the Sea King Palace, seeing the potential of the strange fire possessed by Venerable Qianyan, once intended to recruit him as a guest elder.
However, Venerable Qianyan politely declined, for he had his own ambitions and aspirations, and was unwilling to be controlled by others.
Everyone admires and respects him.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, suddenly a radiant glow appeared in the sky, and a figure slowly emerged.
That was none other than Venerable Qianyan, dressed in a fiery red robe, his face exuding an imposing aura even without anger.
The golden corona surrounding his head was formed from the famous Great Sun Flame.
It burned fiercely, radiating brilliant light, as if it were setting the entire sky ablaze.
This scene was as if a second sun had suddenly appeared in the sky, its blazing light bathing the entire Skyfire City in a golden glow.
The cultivators looked up and saw that the blazing sun, under the control of Venerable Qianyan, transformed into a roaring fire dragon in one part and a golden phoenix spreading its wings in another, changing in countless ways, which was wonderful beyond words.
"Heavens! Is this the Great Sun Blazing Flame of Venerable Thousand Flames? It truly lives up to its name, possessing such power!"
"Legend has it that the blazing fire of the great sun can melt gold and boil the sea. Seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary!"
"Judging from Venerable Qianyan's calm and collected demeanor, his control over the Great Sun Blazing Fire has clearly reached a level of consummate skill. It's truly enviable!"
The cultivators discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with amazement and envy.
Among them were many knowledgeable individuals, but such a magnificent sight was something they had never witnessed before. The overwhelming power of the blazing sun truly inspired awe.
Venerable Qianyan simply smiled faintly. He gently raised his hand, and the blazing sun flames that had been separated merged back into the golden sun crown wheel.
He looked down from his vantage point, his gaze sweeping over the city of Skyfire below. His voice, loud as a bell, resounded through the heavens: "Gentlemen, the opening of the Blazing Fire Tower today is a momentous occasion for our Skyfire City. May you all gain something from it and advance further!"
After speaking, Venerable Qianyan was already in mid-air.
The magical artifact, the Blazing Fire Tower, spun rapidly in his hand, instantly transforming into a towering nine-story pagoda, containing boundless fiery power, with blazing light flowing across its surface.
With a gentle wave of his hand, Venerable Qianyan caused the tower gate of the Blazing Fire Tower to burst open, sending waves of heat rushing out.
The cultivators all looked up and saw that the tower was surrounded by flames, like a sea of fire.
And countless strange flames, like pearls in the ocean, await those destined to find them.
"The Blazing Fire Tower has been opened. The strange fires within the tower each possess their own spirit. Whether you can find these strange fires depends on your fate and destiny," Venerable Qianyan's voice rang out once more.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators were all invigorated, their eyes filled with fervent light.
They all knew that each of the strange flames in the Blazing Fire Tower was a rare treasure, capable of not only enhancing cultivation but also possessing various special uses, aiding in both combat and alchemy.
Most notably, hundreds of smaller fires from the Great Sun Blazing Fire are scattered throughout the Blazing Fire Tower!
These sub-fires, though not as powerful as the main body of the Great Sun Blazing Fire, are still extraordinary and possess immeasurable potential.
If one can refine it, one will not only gain immense power, but also gain the favor of Venerable Qianyan, who will take one of his disciples and grant one a meteoric rise to power.
Such a temptation is irresistible to any cultivator.
Every year, cultivators fight tooth and nail for these sub-flames. If it weren't for Venerable Qianyan's rule that fighting was forbidden in the tower, countless people would have lost their lives because of it.
Every few years, there is always one lucky person who successfully refines the sub-fire, thus becoming a disciple of Venerable Qianyan and joining Heavenly Fire Island.
Such news often spreads rapidly throughout the entire Minghai Realm, driving countless rogue cultivators into a frenzy, who flock to Tianhuo Island.
Some rogue cultivators, even knowing they couldn't refine the sub-fire, would risk being burned alive to ashes, clinging tightly to that sliver of hope until their very last breath.
Of course, besides the strange fire, the Blazing Fire Tower itself is also a rare cultivation treasure.
The tower is filled with spiritual energy and rich in fire elements, making it a paradise for cultivators who practice fire-based techniques.
Even without vying for the strange fire, one can still reap great rewards by focusing on cultivation here.
This is why Skyfire Island attracts so many cultivators every year.
Now that the tower gates are open and the opportunity is right before their eyes, how could they not be tempted?
So the cultivators moved quickly, transforming into streaks of light, and rushed into the blazing tower.
The tower was vast, with flames flying everywhere. They carefully moved through the sea of fire, searching for traces of the strange fire.
Some cultivators were lucky enough to encounter a different kind of fire that resonated with them, and some even had that fire fly to them on its own, merging into their bodies and becoming one with them.
The vast majority of cultivators, however, were not so fortunate.
They endured countless hardships within the tower, traversing numerous trials of flames, before finally finding the strange fire. Then, they cautiously approached it, attempting to subdue it.
Some cultivators, even if they failed to obtain the strange fire, could still improve their cultivation by meditating in the tower.
Inside the Blazing Fire Tower, strange flames danced in the air, and all the cultivators were searching for their own opportunities within.
Meanwhile, Venerable Qianyan stood quietly outside the tower, watching all of this with a smile.
His smile deepened even more when he saw the cultivators vying to refine the sub-flames of the Great Sun Blazing Fire.
Everyone knows that he has made rapid progress, but no one knows the mystery of the Great Sun's Blazing Fire.
The sun's radiance shines upon all living beings, and their adoration and dedication to the blazing sun are invisibly transformed into resources that continuously strengthen it.
He didn't deceive anyone; these cultivators all came to Heavenly Fire Island voluntarily to enter the Blazing Fire Tower and refine their sub-fire.
Therefore, in Venerable Qianyan's view, this was a win-win situation that made everyone happy.
In Skyfire City, Chu Lengyu (her true form) has quietly changed her appearance and entered the city.
Unexpectedly, the day she arrived at Skyfire Island was the day the Blazing Fire Tower opened. No wonder she encountered many hurried cultivators on her way here. After asking a few questions, she found out the situation here very well.
However, Chu Lengyu did not rush into the eye-catching Blazing Tower, but chose to stand at a distance and quietly observe it.
This tower is not like the magical artifact that Zheng Buyi remembered imprisoning those otherworldly monsters.
The Blazing Fire Tower stands majestically, with nine stories high, but only the first three stories are opened each year for cultivators at the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages to try their luck.
As for the experts at the Nascent Soul Realm, they naturally wouldn't lower themselves to compete with these low-level cultivators for the strange fire.
If they truly have a need for a certain type of exotic fire, they can simply join the powerful Yang family in Tianhuo City and become their retainer, where they will naturally have the opportunity to obtain the exotic fire they desire.
“Zi Huo… taking on a disciple…” Chu Lengyu murmured to herself, “Such a good thing that seems like a windfall, why does it sound like there’s something fishy going on?”
She glanced at Venerable Qianyan high in the sky, then quietly left.
And he naturally wouldn't notice an ordinary rogue cultivator whose outward aura was merely at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
At that moment, the communication ring on his hand suddenly lit up, and Venerable Qianyan narrowed his eyes.
After waiting for so long, the cargo ship finally arrived.
