Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 533: Chapter 532: Learning the Golden Crow True Flame_1

In truth, Lu Yang was curious, now that nine Golden Crows had returned, how should the ten Jade Rabbits be allotted? Would they all breed together, or would the extra one be roasted by Fairy Eternity and used to poison the Four Immortals of the Ancients?

However, he felt he really didn’t need to know so much of this shameful past. It was of no use to his cultivation, and it might make it difficult for him to survive if he ever encountered the Four Immortals of the Ancients.

In his mind, Lu Yang no longer had a positive image of the Four Immortals of the Ancients. If he was to meet them, he feared he couldn’t save himself, even if he flaunted his good relationship with Fairy Eternity and claimed to listen to her stories about them every day.

Survival, after all, was doubtful.

“So, do you find understanding the Golden Crow True Flame much easier after hearing this fairy’s story?”

Knowing the story behind a magic skill enhances one’s deeper understanding of its essence. This was a universally recognized fact in the Cultivation World. Unfortunately, the histories of most magic skills sold on the market are too distant, making it difficult to trace the events of that time.

However, for Lu Yang, hearing Fairy Eternity’s stories of the magic skills would only dilute his comprehension of them.

“Golden Crow True Flame…”

He used his magical power to gather a small flame on his fingertip. Even though it was a tiny spark, it contained immeasurable energy.

Staring at the Golden Crow True Flame, Lu Yang slowly closed his eyes to understand the substance of the True Flame.

“Which flame should I choose?” Man Gu was perplexed. He wished he could learn the Three Flavored True Fire. He once asked Lu Yang to teach him, but he couldn’t seem to grasp it, let alone know where to start.

“Should I choose the Nirvana True Fire like Brother Meng?”

Observing Meng Jingzhou refining the Nirvana True Fire bit by bit, Man Gu shook his head, “No, it won’t do. This is a True Fire of the Demon Race. It’s not suitable for my bloodline, not to mention that my comprehension is not as good as Brother Meng’s. I can’t cross the racial boundary to understand this True Fire.”

“Lunar True Fire? Not suitable either. My vitality is too vigorous. Understanding the Lunar True Fire would suppress my vitality and weaken me.”

“Chaos True Fire? No, I know nothing about chaos and hence, cannot comprehend it.”

“Ziwei Heavenly Fire? Not appropriate. Now that the stars are gone, the Ziwei Heavenly Fire derived from the Ziwei Star is a rootless flame. While it’s powerful, it’s hard to sustain its use.”

“This flame seems somewhat familiar. Maybe I should try it.” Man Gu happily settled in front of a cluster of flames.

It was the Samadhi True Fire.

Tao Yaoye was also agonizing over which flame to choose. She pondered over the Golden Crow True Fire, Lunar True Fire, and Dayan True Fire, to no avail. None of them seemed right for her.

Eventually, she decided to sit in front of a cluster of flames that resonated with birdsong.

Nanming Li Fire.

Lu Yang’s comprehension was making good progress. He imagined himself as the Sun, hanging high in the sky, illuminating the world and nurturing life, when suddenly a giant hand took him and placed him next to a rabbit…

“Look at Lu Yang. He’s obviously understanding the Golden Crow True Flame, but his body is displaying both Lunar and Solar powers. And these two powers seem to tend to blend together!”

The cultivators from the Five Elements Sect gasped at the sight. Understanding Lunar power through Solar power was indeed an incredible gift!

Furthermore, the fusion of these two extreme powers!

This man’s comprehension of the True Flame was horrifying!

Even the Five Veins Elder and Qiu Jin’an were moved by this, such talent was rare, with only two or three instances in history!

“Old Song, this boy’s talent is terrifying!” The Golden Meridian Elder transmitted a message to Song Duantian. They bore a great grudge against Daoist Buyu. Now that Lu Yang had fallen into their hands, they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to vent.

After all, if the proverb “a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father” was accurate, so was “a son inherits his father’s affairs and repays his debts.” So it was fair for Lu Yang to repay the debts!

Song Duantian frowned, “If we don’t get rid of him, he will remember what we’ve done today. He will become a major problem in the future!”

“Indeed, he’s a problem.”

“What should we do?”

The Golden Meridian Elder stared fixedly at Lu Yang, torn within, until at last, a ruthless look came across his face, as if he had made some sort of decision.

“After all, we can forget about the grudge with Old Buyu!”

…

“Look, only the Solar power is left on Lu Yang!”

Unaware of the thoughts of the Golden Meridian and Fire Vein Elders, Lu Yang was focused on forgetting his earlier comprehension as quickly as possible.

He almost messed up by following Fairy Eternity’s guidance and trying to understand the fusion of Lunar and Solar powers.

That was a close call.

He began understanding the Golden Crow True Flame again. Imagining himself as the Sun traversing the sky, everything was thriving and it was a vibrant scene.

The Sun seemed like a balloon, constantly expanding and contracting, as if it would explode at any moment, causing viewers to feel anxious.

Suddenly, a bird’s song came from within the Sun. The sound was pleasant and resonant.

“Done!” Lu Yang was delighted. When he opened his eyes, they were as red as if they were little Suns.

He blinked, and his eyes returned to normal. They were clear and innocent, like those of a child. The previous scene seemed illusionary, causing some doubt.

“You succeeded?” Bai Ming was bewildered. The True Flame he had mastered was the Golden Crow True Flame, so he knew how difficult it was to comprehend this kind of flame.

“We’ll know after trying.” Lu Yang laughed, appearing very confident. He was sure this time it wouldn’t be a problem because he had a thorough comprehension of the Golden Crow True Flame.

Lu Yang spread his left palm. A cluster of flames emerged, and the temperature around him shot up sharply.

The flame flickered mid-air, gradually taking shape. It already loosely resembled a bird.

“Mimicry of True Flame?” Bai Ming gasped, to mold the flame into the desired shape required a high level of control. Most cultivators wouldn’t be able to do it without fifty years of hard cultivation.

And considering Lu Yang’s ease, it didn’t seem like he was intentionally trying to imitate the flame’s shape but rather the True Flame naturally took this form!

Lu Yang curved his mouth into a confident smile. He raised two fingers of his right hand to his lips and half-heartedly exclaimed, “True Flame, show yourself!”

The True Flame turned into a Golden Crow, lifelike and intricate, as if it had come alive.

“The True Flame has turned into a Golden Crow?” Bai Ming cried out in surprise again. He couldn’t contain his inner shock anymore and blurted out.

The cultivators and elders of the Five Elements Sect had already taken notice of what was happening with Lu Yang.

“He turned the True Flame into a Golden Crow on the first attempt?”

“No, Golden Crows are supposed to have three legs, but Lu Yang’s has only two!”

“Is there such a thing as a two-legged Golden Crow?”

“The biggest symbol of a Golden Crow is its three legs. Can a two-legged bird still be called a Golden Crow?”

Lu Yang was also slightly confused. Why did the automatically formed “Golden Crow” from his True Flame look different from what he had envisioned?

He clenched his left hand, extinguishing the True Flame. When he spread his palm again to produce the flame, it still formed a two-legged “Golden Crow”.

Unwilling to give up, he tried several times, hoping an extra leg would appear, but it was in vain.

Scratching his head, Lu Yang turned to Bai Ming, who hadn’t seen anything like this either, and asked, “Do you know what’s going on?”

Bai Ming was taken aback by the question, “Golden Crows always have three legs. Your two-legged creature can only be considered a golden bird.”

“So, is mine considered a Golden Crow True Flame?”

Bai Ming’s expression became increasingly strange, “Call it a Golden Bird True Flame.”
