Lin Feng heard Fang Yan say this and did not rush to speak. He immediately checked Fang Yan’s body through the soul link, and his face immediately darkened. After contemplating for a moment, he said to Fang Yan, "Your current physical condition is not good. As the saying goes, yin and yang should be balanced. Your body has too much yang energy. Even if you are cultivating, I suggest temporarily stopping the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art and focusing on the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique. Once your physical condition stabilizes, you can continue with the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, otherwise, your body will become a significant hidden danger. You are different from others, practicing both ice and fire cultivation techniques. Focusing on just one while ignoring the other will leave your body imbalanced!"

"Ah! I..."

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Fang Yan suddenly realized what Lin Feng meant. Indeed, as Lin Feng said, he hadn’t noticed this aspect before, but with Lin Feng’s reminder, he immediately understood the implications. Fortunately, Lin Feng talked to him about this; otherwise, he might have overlooked the problem and regretted it when it became too late!

Seeing Fang Yan understand his intention, Lin Feng cut off the soul link. He did not need to say much to Fang Yan. Just a hint, and Fang Yan would naturally know what to do.

Fang Yan stood in place, pondering the problems in his cultivation, growing increasingly convinced of Lin Feng’s words. He glanced at the ice mountain not far away, a smile emerging on his face. For some reason, everything here seemed designed just for him, complete with a volcano and an ice mountain. For him, it was a cultivation sanctuary!

With a thought, he planned to cultivate the Nine Ice Divine Control Technique by the ice mountain as Lin Feng suggested. But before he could move, he suddenly sensed a very different flame aura emanating from the volcano below. This flame aura was far beyond the previous flames—possibly a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire!

Seeing this, Fang Yan immediately paused and focused all his attention on the volcano’s mouth, wanting to see if he was mistaken or if there truly was a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire within the volcano!

An hour passed!

Two hours passed!

...

Fang Yan waited above the volcano for several hours. Just when he was about to give up, the very unique flame aura reappeared, causing his eyes to brighten. Looking at the rolling lava of the volcano below, his eyes were full of ardor!

With intention aligning to his will, Fang Yan’s body was instantly cloaked in Annihilation Thunder Flame. He then shot into the roiling lava of the volcano, protected by the Annihilation Thunder Flame and his Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art. With his current Earth Immortal Realm strength, he could survive in this ordinary lava.

After delving into the lava, he repelled all magma to a distance of over ten zhang away, constantly descending within the volcano’s mouth, searching for the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire that emitted the unique flame aura. It wasn’t long before he reached a very peculiar place. Who could have imagined that within this volcano of rolling lava, there was a seemingly naturally formed cave? The surrounding lava appeared fearful of something inside the cave, not daring to approach!

Fang Yan’s eyes lit up when he saw the cave, for he sensed a potent flame aura emanating from within. It was an aura that transcended ordinary flames, carrying a destructive intensity, implying that the fire inside was extraordinary!

Witnessing such lively flame aura, Fang Yan became more audacious, thinking little as he immediately rushed into the cave’s entrance.

"Boom!"

As soon as Fang Yan charged into the cave, a burst of fire emanated from within. The flame was deep purple, overwhelmingly destructive, so much so that even Fang Yan found it terrifying. But he couldn’t abandon the rare Heaven and Earth Strange Fire he had encountered by chance!

With a thought, the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art was activated, and a brilliant Sunburst unexpectedly appeared inside the cave, sealing it thoroughly as the deep purple flame collided directly onto the Sunburst!

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded, causing the entire cave to shake. The rampaging flame aura surged all around, shattering much of the hard volcanic rock wall, and the entire cave seemed unable to withstand the intense heat, turning fiery red in an instant!

Fang Yan’s expression darkened. He had realized just how unusual the flames here were. Even with the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art powered by Annihilation Thunder Flame, it was perilous to fend off this streak of flame, demonstrating how exaggerated the flames’ power was!

But the more formidable the strange fire here, the more delighted he became, showing ecstatic expressions as he continued to proceed. He wanted to see exactly what kind of existence this deep purple strange fire was!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

As he progressed, the cave was filled with overwhelmingly violent deep purple flames, seemingly intent on destroying Fang Yan. However, relying on his Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art and the Annihilation Thunder Flame, no matter how the purple flames attacked, they could not break Fang Yan’s defense.

Before long, Fang Yan braved the deep purple flames, arriving in a vast hall. The hall wasn’t very large, rounded like a sphere. In the center of the hall, a cluster of blazing deep purple flames burned vigorously, while countless purple flames around it frantically assaulted Fang Yan!

Seeing this, Fang Yan knew that the deep purple flames must be the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire. He immediately shielded himself with a Sunburst and walked towards the deep purple fire. However, to his surprise, when he was a dozen zhang away from the flames, the deep purple fire suddenly moved. A purple-glowing flame shot directly from the fire, striking his Sunburst!

"Boom!"

Instantly, Fang Yan felt a powerful force pushing at him, and in almost a split second, he was blown away. This immense force was beyond his imagination, and it immediately hurled him against the surrounding rock walls, embedding him into the hard rock. The sheer power was astonishing!

Damn it, is this still just a flame!

Feeling his bones nearly shattering, Fang Yan was at a loss. Who could have thought that just a flame would have such power? But just as he thought of this, he suddenly saw a deep purple flame coming at him again. Terrified, Fang Yan ignored his injuries and immediately flashed out from the rock wall.

"Boom!"

Just as Fang Yan flashed out, the deep purple flame hit the spot he had just occupied, creating a massive pit several feet in diameter. Fang Yan’s eyes nearly popped out—if he had stayed there, he would have been killed for sure!

Seeing this situation, Fang Yan knew that trying to subdue this deep purple Heaven and Earth Strange Fire wasn’t something to be taken lightly. While dodging the deep purple flame, he pondered how to capture this terrifying power.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

The strange fire kept bombarding the hall, and this circular hall soon became a mess. Under the high temperature, countless rocks had melted. In just a short time, the hall expanded more than twice its original size and seemed to continue expanding.

Among them, Fang Yan kept dodging and desperately thinking of how to subdue this Heaven and Earth Strange Fire. But before figuring out a way, all he could do was keep dodging...

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind. Since the temperature of this strange fire wasn’t overly exaggerated, and the strength lay in the power contained within the flame, why not try to directly seize the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire? With several kinds of strange flames on him, he didn’t believe he couldn’t suppress this deep purple fire!

Thinking of this, Fang Yan began to brew his plan...

Suddenly, Fang Yan seized an opportunity, immediately using Thousand Miles in One Step to appear next to the deep purple flame. The Annihilation Thunder Flame in his hand suddenly burst out, enveloping the deep purple flame.

In an instant, the deep purple strange fire seemed to sense danger and intended to flee. But Fang Yan had anticipated this. Under the Divine Consciousness Barrier, an invisible cage trapped the deep purple strange fire. Seeing this, the deep purple strange fire went berserk, frantically crashing against the invisible cage!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

With endless loud bangs, the deep purple strange fire couldn’t escape because it couldn’t break through the cage formed by divine sense. But with each impact, Fang Yan felt like his head was going to explode. This strange fire’s power was overwhelmingly strong, with each hit comparable to an Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouse’s attack, repeatedly injuring his divine sense!

Seeing such a situation, Fang Yan knew he couldn’t drag this out any longer. If he delayed further, the strange fire would escape, making it impossible to find it again. With a thought, he disregarded everything, immediately shoving the Extreme Cold Ice Fire, Soul Melting Flame, and other flames into the Divine Consciousness Cage. Now, he could only rely on this method to subdue the deep purple strange fire. If this didn’t work, he’d have no choice but to let the deep purple strange fire escape... 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

Continuous loud noises and repeated collisions made Fang Yan’s head feel like it was about to explode. As time passed, he even began to spit blood, but even so, he didn’t give up using all kinds of strange flames to subdue the deep purple strange fire.

In the blink of an eye, more than four hours had passed, and the deep purple strange fire’s resistance finally weakened. At this moment, Fang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the most challenging part was over, and what was left was to slowly refine it. Once refinement was complete, he would gain a most peculiar strange fire!
