"Brother Ye, may I ask a rather personal question? Where do you come from?"
Zhao Ling'er stared at Ye Qiu, her beautiful eyes unblinking.
“I come from Daxia.”
Ye Qiu responded directly in this way.
After she finished speaking, Ye Qiu stared intently at Zhao Ling'er, trying to discern something from her face.
But Zhao Ling'er looked completely bewildered, showing no sign of surprise: "Brother Ye, is this Great Xia an ancient planet inhabited by life?"
"Zhao Churan, stop pretending, I know it's you."
Ye Qiu suddenly raised his voice.
Zhao Ling'er was startled and took a few steps back: "Brother Ye, what are you talking about? What Zhao Churan? My name is Zhao Ling'er. I come from the Upper Realm. Really, I'm not lying to you. Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
"You're still pretending." Ye Qiu said loudly, "Zhao Churan and Zhao Ling'er both have the surname Zhao, and they look so similar. I don't believe it's such a coincidence."
"But I really don't know who you're talking about. My name was given to me by my parents. I'm eighteen years old today and I've never been to any place outside the Upper Realm. I have no idea where the Great Xia you're talking about is."
Zhao Ling'er was about to cry.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qiu felt a pang of disappointment.
It seems that Zhao Ling'er is indeed not Zhao Churan.
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."
Ye Qiu deflated like a punctured balloon, then turned back to continue studying the ancient stele.
However, Zhao Ling'er could clearly sense that Ye Qiu's mood had become very low.
"Brother Ye, is this Zhao Churan your Daoist partner?" Zhao Ling'er asked softly.
"I guess so, but we've already broken up, and perhaps we'll never have a chance to get back together."
Ye Qiu responded casually.
"I see. So you still like her a lot?"
"Little girl, don't ask too many questions."
"Oh, she's just curious. If you like her, go and win her back. As long as you love each other, there's no conflict that can't be resolved. What do you think?"
"She wants to marry my enemy, and because of this, she hurts me in various ways. This contradiction is unsolvable."
Ye Qiu said calmly.
"this..."
Zhao Ling'er lowered her head, hesitating to speak.
Just as Zhao Ling'er was about to say something, Ye Qiu suddenly became serious: "Something's not right. This ancient stele holds a secret."
"What does that mean?" Zhao Ling'er looked at the ancient stele in confusion.
Ye Qiu did not respond to Zhao Ling'er, but instead reached out and placed his hand on the top of the ancient stele, rubbing a tiny crack.
Ye Qiu could vaguely sense an unusual and extraordinary aura from the crack.
Then, Ye Qiu gave a slight jolt.
With a bang.
The outer shell of the ancient stele shattered instantly, scattering across the ground.
At the same time, the monument in front of them shone brightly, and chaotic flames surged forth.
"ah."
Zhao Ling'er screamed and quickly covered her eyes.
The terrifying light of chaotic flames burned her eyes.
Ye Qiu, however, was unaffected. His vision could penetrate the chaotic flames and see new ancient characters appearing on the surface of the monument.
"To cross the sea of suffering, one must cultivate the Fire Scripture. Those who cultivate this scripture face nine deaths and one life. Proceed with caution!"
Ye Qiu read out the first line of ancient characters.
Then, Ye Qiu continued reading.
Below was a record of a supreme technique called the 'Primordial Fire Scripture,' which Ye Qiu memorized as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, the unusual activity at this location attracted many onlookers.
However, no one can look directly at this mysterious ancient stele.
Someone tried to force their way to see by channeling their magic, but ended up with blood streaming from their eyes and nearly going blind.
Of the more than one hundred people present, only Ye Qiu was able to see.
Because Ye Qiu possessed an extraordinary physique and mastered the Chaos Fire Dao, he was able to remain unaffected.
After Ye Qiu finished reading all the scriptures, the ancient stele suddenly shone even brighter, and chaotic flames engulfed Ye Qiu.
"hiss."
The leaves changed color in autumn.
Even he felt a burning pain all over his body; his clothes were burned to ashes, and his body was ablaze.
Those around were all shocked by what they saw.
"Won't I...won't I get burned to death?"
"What happened?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Ling'er, who was nearby, was pale and clenched her teeth, her face filled with unspeakable fear.
Yun Xian'er ran over, but dared not look directly at the intense chaotic fire.
In the center of the chaotic flames, Ye Qiu sat cross-legged, gritting his teeth and enduring the ordeal.
Bang.
Suddenly, the ancient stele exploded, and a blurry figure appeared.
The figure was tall and imposing, with extraordinary grandeur.
He lowered his head slightly, looking down at Ye Qiu, and a divine thought reached Ye Qiu's mind: "Young man, many people have discovered the mystery of this stele in the past, but they all died because they could not withstand the Chaos Fire."
You are the first person to withstand the Chaos Fire. It seems you are well-versed in this art, otherwise you would not have been able to withstand it.
Regardless, if you can cultivate this scripture, it means the lineage of the Primordial Fire Scripture will not be severed, and I can leave in peace. My 1,700 years of arduous effort have not been in vain.
hiss.
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qiu gasped.
Seventeen hundred years—what a long period of time that is.
"Where are you going, senior?" Ye Qiu asked subconsciously.
"A wisp of a soul naturally drifts in the sea of suffering. If there is a chance to find the path of reincarnation in the sea of suffering, then one can enter the cycle of reincarnation."
If I cannot find it, then I will simply vanish into the sea of suffering. Either outcome, I can accept it.
The imposing figure responded calmly.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Ye Qiu asked.
"You can't help me. Focus on cultivating the Primordial Fire Scripture. With its blessing, you can travel freely through the sea of suffering. I see that you have an extraordinary physique and will surely achieve the Great Dao in the future. Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it."
The imposing figure let out a soft sigh.
