Li Shiming and Li Yuanba are both engaged in the same task, which is refining the Infinite Immortal Fire.
However, Li Yuanba has not performed the refinement himself; instead, he has given the compensation āInfinite Immortal Fireā obtained from the Infinite Sect to the Red Demon.
Red Demon is proficient in fire, as evidenced by the formidable power when using āInfinite Fire Peakā, showcasing its talent in controlling flames.
Li Yuanba refining āInfinite Immortal Fireā on his own does not significantly enhance his strength.
He is not adept at flame attacks, and mostly uses āChaos Sword Intentā.
Although he uses the āEye of the Stormā, he has incorporated āChaos Sword Intentā into this treasure, making the wind blades emitted by āEye of the Stormā more akin to sword light.
The flame refining Secret Technique he received was originally brought out by the Infinite Sect to allow the Peak Great Cultivator Li Yuanba to refine āInfinite Immortal Fireā.
The Infinite Sect was willing to offer āInfinite Immortal Fireā after careful consideration.
The Infinite Sect also knew that even if Li Yuanba refined āInfinite Immortal Fireā for his own use, it would not greatly boost his combat power.
And the Infinite Immortal Fire is of the fifth-grade, precisely compensating for the matter of sending a Half-step Great Power to assassinate Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba, through the contractual link with the Red Demon, transmitted the flame refining Secret Technique to the Red Demon.
The Red Demonās Wisdom is not low; if it werenāt for the constraints of the master recognition contract, the Red Demon could entirely be a high Wisdom creature on its own.
Having read the flame refining Secret Technique, the Red Demon swallowed the āInfinite Immortal Fireā whole.
This ability is not achievable by a Great Cultivator, only a Half-step Great Power, who has stepped into the threshold of Great Power and is skilled in flames, would dare attempt such a feat.
Ordinary creatures that directly swallow the āInfinite Immortal Fireā face annihilation of both body and soul.
After swallowing āInfinite Immortal Fireā, the Red Demon began refining āInfinite Immortal Fireā.
Li Yuanba sensed the intense heat emanating from the Red Demon, his face changed, quickly retreating while activating the roomās Formation.
He wasnāt reassured even after leaving the room, so he took out the Fourth Grade Array Flag to further fortify the room.
This is his Grotto Heaven after all; should the flames inadvertently leaked by the Red Demon affect it, the power exceeding fourth-grade flames could reduce his Grotto Heaven to nothing.
It might even alert Sword Elder, though it would cause no damage to Sword Cave Heaven.
Once Sword Elder is alerted, he can extinguish the flames with a mere flick of his finger.
Within the Red Demonās body, the āInfinite Immortal Fireā through continuous refinement slowly merged with the Red Demon, with a seedling of āInfinite Immortal Fireā appearing at the core of the soul fire within Red Demonās skull.
On the other hand, Li Shimingās process of refining āInfinite Immortal Fireā wasnāt as effortless as the Red Demonās.
Even though he possessed the flame refining Secret Technique and had an innate talent for flame control, having learned a Flame Divine Power of āNanming Leaving Fireā.
Yet while refining āInfinite Immortal Fireā, he still felt very exertive.
Li Shiming had no complaints, instead showing a look of delight.
Previously, he thought refining āInfinite Immortal Fireā would require a long period.
Now with the flame refining Secret Technique and aided by the āAbsolute Flame Spirit Gourdā, he estimated it would take at most ten days to claim āInfinite Immortal Fireā for himself.
During his refinement of āInfinite Immortal Fireā, Yin Shilan was unaware that her Daoist couple was refining fifth-grade Immortal Fire beside her.
Li Shiming divided his mind, the āInfinite Immortal Fireā was also inside the āAbsolute Flame Spirit Gourdā.
He and Yin Shilan were flying above the ocean on a Flying Boat.
He headed towards an unknown sea, a place with some legends according to books he read.
Legend has it that in that sea are magnificent palaces, ethereal golden peaks, and numerous incredible stories beyond belief.
Li Shiming knew whether he was on the Central State Continent or other continents, he might be targeted and captured by the Great Powers of the Yuqing Sect.
And on the Cloud Island Sea side, he didnāt want to go there quickly, as it wasnāt safe either; the Great Powers there were also looking for him.
Every time he thought of this, he couldnāt help but helplessly shake his head, wondering when his enemies had risen to the level of Great Powers.
On the Flying Boat, accompanied by Yin Shilan, they were not lonely, much like being in the Grotto Heaven of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect with no significant difference.
Yin Shilan could enter the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven if she wished.
Her Grotto Heaven is inside the Heavenly Person Cave Heaven, allowing access anytime.
Yin Shilan was delighted with this expedition, having recently progressed to Great Cultivator, she needed to travel widely.
For other cultivators, the ocean appeared dangerous, but Li Shiming, exhibiting the aura of a Peak Great Cultivator of the āYuqing Thunder Scriptureā, deterred any spirit beast from approaching.
Spirit beasts lacking Wisdom knew instinctively that Li Shiming was dangerous, while those with Wisdom were clearer on Li Shimingās terror.
The ten-day period quickly passed, Li Shiming felt the final trace within āInfinite Immortal Fireā refined, becoming flame under control.
"Lanāer, Iām heading outside the Flying Boat!" Li Shiming told Yin Shilan.
Though Yin Shilan was unaware of Li Shimingās intention, she did not inquire, enabling the Flying Boatās Formation for him.
Li Shiming went outside the Flying Boat to transfer the āInfinite Immortal Fireā from the āAbsolute Flame Spirit Gourdā into his body.
He dared not retrieve āInfinite Immortal Fireā before Yin Shilan; the āInfinite Immortal Fireā was fifth-grade.
