Chapter 35: Chapter 32 Fire Lotus Law Pattern

Outside the Fire and Water Dao, the Three-Eyed Giant Ape and Jiang Yao watched Ye Chen, whose spirit was stirred by his success in passing the second trial of the "Mirror Light Spirit Wall".

In the "Path of Fire" of the Fire and Water Dao.

Just as Ye Chen had illuminated all nine dim lines on the "Mirror Light Spirit Wall", the giant "Mirror Light Spirit Wall", which was over ten meters tall and wide, saw those nine lines suddenly start moving rapidly. In an instant, bright light covered the entire Mirror Wall.

And in the moment that the light covered the entire Mirror Wall, the Mirror Light Spirit Wall burst with a loud "boom", turning into faint firelight that scattered and disappeared, revealing once more the path forward in the "Path of Fire".

"Finally, it's time to enter the last trial of this Outer Mansion."

Ye Chen gazed ahead, took a deep breath, and strode further into the corridor.

Although the second trial did not yield as direct a reward as the first trial in the "Fire Rune Chart", where his True Qi Realm broke through to the sixth level of True Qi and he obtained two sets of superior mystical-grade techniques, his gains were even more significant and precious than those from the first trial.

The ambience of the Wind-Thunder, the understanding of wind and thunder imparted by the master of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode within the Mirror Light Spirit Wall, was now deeply engraved in his mind—these were the ambience wielded by the incredibly powerful master of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode!

With the insight into these two ambience, given time, Ye Chen was absolutely certain that he would be able to master the two superior mystical-grade techniques, "Wind Thunder Sword Skills" and "Wind-Thunder Movement", to perfection, and from these ambience, he would be able to extract the true "Wind-Thunder Sword Ambience"!

By then, with two sets of superior mystical-grade techniques and a new sword ambience even more fearsome than the "Raging Storm Sword Ambience" at his disposal, Ye Chen's strength would elevate to an inconceivable degree — increasing his current power by more than tenfold was no empty talk!

Ye Chen calmed his mind, pushing all distracting thoughts aside. With significant gains from the first two trials, he was brimming with anticipation for the challenges and rewards that awaited in the final trial of the Outer Mansion.

After another quarter of an hour's journey down the corridor, Ye Chen suddenly noticed a faint figure sitting cross-legged on the ground at the end of the passage.

This faint figure, dressed in a green Daoist robe and appearing thin and hale, was unmistakably the middle-aged scholar who had demonstrated techniques to Ye Chen in the Mirror Light Spirit Wall—it was the silhouette of the master of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode!

Outside the Fire and Water Dao, when the Three-Eyed Giant Ape saw the faint figure that had suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, disbelief filled all three of its divine eyes, "How is this possible?

The master's avatar appearing in the Mirror Light Spirit Wall to demonstrate techniques is already extremely rare, but for it to truly emerge within the Fire and Water Dao is completely unprecedented!"

"Now, why would it appear during this third trial, the challenge of willpower?"

The Three-Eyed Giant Ape knew its master had left behind an avatar in the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode to guard two astonishingly precious secret treasures in the Inner Mansion.

Over these past three hundred years, those who undertook the trials of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode could only hear its master's voice. Even within the Mirror Light Spirit Wall, they would see merely a hazy figure practicing techniques, unable to discern the face clearly.

For Ye Chen and Jiang Yao to witness the true appearance of the master of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode within the Mirror Light Spirit Wall was already extremely rare, let alone directly prompting the master's avatar left in the abode to manifest.

This was an event the Three-Eyed Giant Ape had never encountered before!

Hearing Qian Jizi say this, Ye Chen listened attentively.

"This third trial is a test of willpower, aimed at assessing your fortitude!"

"In this 'Path of Fire' third trial, you will undergo the terrifying ordeal of 'Ten Thousand Flames Burning Body'. You must successfully cultivate the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern' on your forehead amidst the boundless pain to pass the trial!"

"Cultivating the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern' is extremely difficult! You must have an immensely strong will to withstand the pain of the burning flames, and at the same time, you need to cultivate secret techniques for nurturing the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern'!"

"If you fail to cultivate the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern' in this third trial, you will also fail the third trial of the Outer Mansion. At that time, all your memories within the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode will be burned away by the flames!"

At this point, Qian Jizi looked towards Ye Chen, "However, Ye Chen, if other challengers fail this third trial, their memories of the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode will be burned, and I will send them away directly. But even if you fail, I will preserve your memories within the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode.

Whether it is the mysterious grade techniques or the Wind-Thunder Ambience, all will be retained! That way, even if you have to leave the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode midway, you will still make significant gains!"

"But, Ye Chen, I hope more that you can pass this third trial of the Outer Mansion and truly cultivate the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern'. Then, together with the little girl from three years ago, you may enter the Inner Mansion and obtain the real Secret Treasure that I have placed inside!"

Qian Jizi's caring and expectant words warmed Ye Chen's heart.

Even if he didn't pass the third trial, Qian Jizi still chose to preserve the rewards of the first two trials for Ye Chen. Such recognition was extremely precious to him.

"Senior, I will certainly try my best to pass this third trial and not let down your expectations!"

Ye Chen said with the utmost seriousness.

Seeing Ye Chen's earnest demeanor, Qian Jizi was even more gratified, "Good, good! Then I will impart to you the secret technique for cultivating the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern'.

I hope you can once again rely on your own strength to pass this 'Ten Thousand Flames Burning Body' trial and cultivate the 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern'!"

As Qian Jizi's voice fell, the verses of the secret technique were transmitted directly into Ye Chen's mind.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, committing the content of these secret techniques to memory.

Once all verses of the secret techniques were imprinted in his mind and Ye Chen had memorized them completely, Qian Jizi's booming voice came through, "Thousand Lotus Cave Abode Outer Mansion third trial, 'Ten Thousand Flames Burning Body' ordeal, begins!"

"Ye Chen, cultivate your own 'Fire Lotus Law Pattern'!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the midst of that resounding voice, countless flames burst forth from all directions within the Path of Fire corridor. In an instant, the entire corridor turned into a world of fire.
