Chapter 415: Life Simulation
After Tang Zhen let out a long sigh of emotion, he stopped speaking further. With a wave of his sleeve, he brushed away the dust on the ground and sat down, intending to wait for Xiao Ming to wake up. Tang Huo'er followed suit and sat down beside him.
The two of them sat there for nearly half a day. Throughout that day, Xiao Ming's body remained motionless, like a sculpture.
In the spacious pavilion, the fiery red crystal sphere continued to emit a dazzling red glow, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.
Beside the crystal sphere, Xiao Ming maintained the posture of extending his hands, but at this moment, a faint red glow seemed to circulate on his skin, giving him an enigmatic appearance.
"How come he isn't awake yet? When I underwent the inheritance, it only took me an hour..." Tang Huo'er, who was supporting her cheek with her jade hand, looked at Xiao Ming, who was motionless, and couldn't help but speak up.
"Back then, you were lazy and didn't fully absorb all the ancestral experiences and improvements in the crystal sphere. But Xiao Ming should have chosen to fully accept them. Those experiences are extremely vast. Even though Xiao Ming's soul as an alchemist is powerful enough to easily accept them, the transmission speed of the inheritance crystal is not that fast. Hence, naturally, it takes longer," Tang Zhen explained with a faint glance at his daughter, his eyes filled with a hint of frustration.
"After I digest those absorbed experiences, I can continue absorbing, right?" Tang Huo'er giggled and playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Ah, I really have no way with you. Your talent is quite exceptional. If you were more serious, you would undoubtedly become the future Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley. Moreover, with sufficient strength, even those old fellows you dislike couldn't nag at you anymore," Tang Zhen shook his head, feeling helpless.
"Yep, yep..." Tang Huo'er quickly nodded, seemingly afraid that Tang Zhen would continue nagging.
"Tsk!"
Seeing this, Tang Zhen could only shake his head in resignation. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he turned towards the crystal sphere. At this moment, the red glow inside was rapidly dissipating, while Xiao Ming's entire body was bathed in red light. After a while, his trembling eyes slowly opened.
"Awake?" Tang Zhen quickly stood up and smiled.
Xiao Ming let out a breath and nodded with a smile. With a thought, a profound cultivation method emerged in his mind - it was the complete version of the Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change. It not only contained the first transformation but also the cultivation methods for the second and third transformations.
'I finally obtained it...' Xiao Ming thought to himself. With the Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change, he could now find a way to manifest his Clan Mark.
The Burning Flame Valley's Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change was only one step away from what Xiao Xuan possessed, but it was just that one final step. With a little tinkering, he might be able to achieve it.
"Although the Sky Fire Three Mysterious Change can greatly enhance one's strength in a short period, the energy acquired is extremely violent. You must be extra careful when controlling it," Tang Zhen reminded from the side.
Xiao Ming nodded. He was well aware of this. After all, he had already cultivated the first transformation for many years. Controlling the violent energy was already second nature to him.
