Chapter 193 The Beginning and End of the Sealing
Ling Feng listened quietly to the Fire Qilin's explanation and began to think.
He realized that there might be more secrets and stories hidden behind this matter, and these secrets might all be related to Linglong.
In the original novel of Jade Dynasty, the introduction of this witch Linglong is only brief, so Ling Feng doesn't know much about her either.
All he knew was that the greatest scourge in the world of Jade Dynasty, the Beast God, was created by Linglong, and that she later sacrificed herself to seal the Beast God.
Ling Feng decided to continue asking questions, trying to uncover the truth behind this mystery.
With the Fire Qilin's explanation, Ling Feng finally learned the whole story from back then.
It turns out that the Fire Qilin came out to roam the world after it was born from the earth's veins.
However, since it had just been born, it could not control its own flames well, so it inevitably committed endless killings.
Therefore, everyone thought this would be a catastrophe for the Chinese mainland.
At that time, the priestess Linglong learned that the Fire Qilin had committed endless killings and sins, and with a compassionate heart, she decided to follow the traces left by the Fire Qilin.
Finally, she found the trail of the Fire Qilin on the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Although Linglong had already cultivated to the level of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, the Fire Qilin was much stronger, and could even be said to be slightly superior.
Therefore, Linglong did not defeat the Fire Qilin immediately, but suffered a loss when she fought it.
However, the Fire Qilin was newly born and its mind was not yet fully mature. Its playful nature led it into the trap set by Linglong, and it was eventually sealed here.
The sealing method used by Linglong is a secret technique unique to the Wu tribe. This method requires a sacrifice during the sealing process, which is why this altar came into being.
After successfully sealing the Fire Qilin, Linglong came here many times to reinforce the seal.
However, she never appeared here again, perhaps because she died while sealing the Beast God.
As time went by, no one came here again until the first patriarch of Fenxiang Valley accidentally discovered this place.
When the Fire Qilin saw someone come again, and it wasn't Linglong who had sealed it, it thought it had found a chance to gain freedom. So it made a deal with the first patriarch of Burning Incense Valley, hoping that the other party would release it.
However, after the first patriarch of Burning Incense Valley benefited from the seal, he was powerless against it, or rather, he dared not release the Fire Qilin.
Because if this ferocious beast is released, the world will surely descend into chaos.
Therefore, he had no choice but to build a valley here, named Incense Valley, and establish a sect to cover up the secrets he possessed.
Although the first patriarch of Burning Incense Valley was unable to release the Fire Qilin, he still attached great importance to this place.
He would do his best to fulfill any request made by the Fire Qilin.
That's why he received many benefits from the fire qilin.
As time went by, Incense Valley gradually grew and became one of the three major righteous sects.
The Fire Qilin has been sealed here, and although it cannot leave, its strength has been greatly enhanced.
According to it, it has now reached the realm of a terrestrial immortal.
However, due to the restrictions of the seal, it was unable to undergo the tribulation.
Furthermore, the ascension channels in this world have been closed for some unknown reason, preventing cultivators from breaking through their current realm limitations. They possess the realm but cannot obtain the powerful strength commensurate with it.
The flames it just exhaled, according to it, were its own natal spirit fire.
The information it mentioned, which carried a trace of true fire, was something it learned from its inherited memories.
There is a divine fire called Samadhi Fire, which has the power to burn the heavens and boil the seas, and its natal spirit fire carries a trace of the aura of this Samadhi Fire.
Since it is a fire spirit born from the earth's veins and has no physical body, Ling Feng's sword storm had no effect on it.
Although it has no physical form, it possesses intelligence, which is why that malevolent aura can harm it.
The reason it was able to break the altar was because it suddenly sensed that the power sealing it had become unusually weak, which gave it the opportunity to shatter the altar above.
However, even so, it still could not completely break the seal.
Ling Feng pondered to himself that the reason the Fire Qilin could sense the weakening of the seal's power was likely because the secret technique used by Yun Yilan had taken effect.
After all, even when Yun Yilan was at a disadvantage, he did not use his secret techniques without restraint. Instead, he held back his strength and only used them desperately when he was facing a life-or-death situation.
As Ling Feng listened to the Fire Qilin's narration, he felt a mix of emotions.
The Incense Valley is nominally responsible for guarding the Ten Thousand Mountains, but in reality, their more important task may be to guard this mysterious Xuanhuo Altar.
No wonder some people suspected that Burning Incense Valley and the Witch Clan were connected in his previous life. Now Ling Feng has finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
After figuring out these points, Ling Feng turned his gaze to the fire unicorn floating on the lava, and a wicked idea popped into his mind.
As the Fire Qilin itself just said, it is actually just an energy entity that was lucky enough to develop intelligence.
In Ling Feng's eyes, this was practically a living, breathing experience point.
His Devouring Demon Art can devour everything in the world, so isn't the energy body in front of him an experience delivered to his door?
If he didn't devour it, he would be doing a disservice to the gift that God had given him.
After making up his mind, Ling Feng directly explained his plan to the Fire Qilin.
Of course, in order to avoid killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, he would not completely devour the fire qilin, but only two-thirds of its essence, thus sparing its life.
This wasn't because Ling Feng was merciful, but because he wanted to leave it here and return to visit it once it could cultivate again.
Of course, Ling Feng didn't tell it this cruel truth; he only said he could spare its life.
Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, the Fire Qilin's eyes widened, staring at Ling Feng with disbelief.
It never expected that Ling Feng would be so greedy, wanting to devour most of its essence.
You must understand that the source is its very foundation. If Ling Feng were to devour it, it would likely be unable to return to its peak condition.
Moreover, even if it could cultivate back to its former self, it's unknown how much time and effort it would take.
"Human, you can't do this!"
The fire qilin let out a deafening roar, its sound like thunder, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
Its eyes blazed with fury, as if it wanted to burn everything in front of it to ashes.
