Chapter 286 The Poor Brother
Although the old man Tianhuo has fallen, he has actually been making plans all these years since his death.
Not only was he spreading the news of the Mahayana cultivator's inheritance outside, but after he found a suitable cultivator who could devour his power, he began to turn his attention to the two defenseless strange fires.
The two strange fires had already broken free from the constraints of the heavenly fire and turned into independent individuals, and now their power has grown.
But they never seemed to escape from the control of Skyfire. To put it bluntly, they were not smart enough and were played around by him.
The purpose of the Heavenly Fire is to provoke a fight between the two strange fires, making them burn each other's essences to devour each other, because no matter which of the two strange fires succeeds, after devouring the other, its essence will be damaged, and its own energy will become extremely weak in a short period of time.
At this time, the victorious strange fire, when it comes to accept the "inheritance" of the Heavenly Fire, will surely be easily taken into the pocket of the Heavenly Fire, and the two sages will be harmed in one fell swoop.
Isn't it a kind of cricket fighting for Tianhuo to watch the fire from the other side of the river and reap the benefits? Although it is a bit unethical to do so, it is undeniable that the cultivation world is a place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong and full of deception.
When embarking on the path of spiritual practice, everyone is striving to cross over. If you are not smart enough, you will only become someone else's wedding dress. You can't blame anyone else for this.
In fact, Tianhuo's plan was implemented well. At least the behavior of provoking the two groups of strange fire was quite successful. Now the two groups of strange fire on Shuangdi Ridge are fighting each other fiercely. If some time passes, Tianhuo may really succeed.
Unfortunately, Tianhuo himself did not expect that the two strange fires would make such a big noise, directly attracting Lu Yuan who was in Beizhou, and indirectly harming himself.
It had to be fate, and Tianhuo accepted it.
However, there was still one thing he hadn't figured out, which was when did Lu Yuan discover his problem?
Tianhuo has always boasted that his acting skills are superb, just like a patient and amiable senior who wants to leave all his inheritance before his death, but the question is how did Lu Yuan see that?
When did he reveal himself? Lu Yuan said, "To be honest, you acted really well. I didn't see it at first. I really thought it was your legacy. But it's a pity that you acted well in the beginning, but the last part was ruined because of those two sentences."
"Two sentences? What are they?"
Lu Yuan: "First, there is no need to enter the sea of consciousness to teach skills. You want to enter my sea of consciousness. Do you think I have never taught a disciple? Second, in order to seize the body, you lied and praised me as an honest person. This is your biggest flaw! The entire stone tablet space was created by you. You must know what happened outside the fairy palace. How can you say that I am an honest person if you know about my threat to your spirit flame turtle?"
Lu Yuan was able to see the flaws of Skyfire from these two places. Venerable Skyfire had a complicated expression on his face. He did not expect that Lu Yuan could see through such details at a glance.
There is really no way to enter the sea of consciousness, because if he wants to take over and devour Lu Yuan's power, he has to start from the sea of stone. This is inevitable. Lu Yuan is knowledgeable and there is no way.
But that word of being honest and loyal turned out to be a fatal mistake, which made Tianhuo really uncomfortable.
Lu Yuan: "Okay, actually, regardless of whether I noticed your problem or not, it's your bad luck that you met me here today, because you can't succeed in taking over another body no matter what, Tianhuo, just admit your defeat."
Lu Yuan is protected by a system inside his body. Even if he doesn't see through Skyfire's layout, if Skyfire's residual soul dares to enter his body, it will be directly controlled by the system and he will still be crushed to death.
Tianhuo sighed, "I give in."
Although he is a cultivator in the Mahayana stage, Lu Yuan is meticulous, and he is indeed one step behind. There is nothing he can do about it. Now he has fallen into Lu Yuan's hands, and it seems that he has no choice but to bow his head, because Lu Yuan can crush his remaining soul at any time, and at that time he will really disappear between this world.
If Tianhuo wants revenge, he can only bow his head.
Lu Yuan said: "Don't worry, although our first meeting was a little unpleasant, and you are indeed a bit sinister, but considering that ignorance is not blame, as long as you are loyal to me in the future, I can still let bygones be bygones.
You said before that you had a grudge to avenge, what grudge?"
Tianhuo talked about his tragic experience, in fact, he was also a miserable person.
In his era, Tianhuo was an extremely dazzling genius. He rose from the bottom and defeated his peers one after another without any background. He climbed up step by step to become the strongest. In his era, he was almost a person who could establish a school of thought.
Anyone who can found a school of thought is a patriarch of a region and is naturally powerful. With his strength, he could have ascended to the upper realms and become an immortal, achieving immortality.
But the problem was that he met the wrong person. When Tianhuo was at the peak of his youth and was full of pride, he was seduced by a woman. He was so bewitched by the woman that he could not walk, and eventually he practiced a magical martial arts secret given to him by the woman.
Originally, he thought it was just an ordinary martial arts book and a token of love between the two of them, but he never expected it to be a trap.
The woman came from an ancient family of immortal cultivators. The martial arts book she gave to Tianhuo was a foreshadowing. As Tianhuo's cultivation became more and more advanced, that martial arts book took root in his body, in his dantian, like a poisonous insect.
When Tianhuo's cultivation reaches its peak and he is about to pass the tribulation and ascend to heaven, the martial arts in his body will be like a poisonous insect breaking out of its cocoon, which will suck away all of Tianhuo's cultivation.
In this way, Tianhuo was tricked into draining away all his cultivation, and all his cultivation became someone else's wedding dress. Eventually, the insect was obtained by a young man from the ancient tribe. That man not only obtained Tianhuo's cultivation, but also turned into a minotaur on the spot, and used his cultivation to ascend to heaven with the woman.
He killed Tianhuo in Shuangdi Ridge and lost all his people and property.

So Tianhuo was determined to take revenge at all costs. He wanted to return to the fairyland and kill the couple.
After hearing the tragic story of Tianhuo, even Lu Yuan decided to live in Bengbu.
I've seen miserable things, but I've never seen anything this miserable.
He originally thought that it was miserable enough for Yao Xuan to be betrayed by his own apprentice; it was miserable enough for Xiao Huo to be broken off by his fiancée, but now the real unfortunate brother has appeared.
Compared with Tianhuo, Yao Xuan and Xiao Huo are nothing. At least Han Feng and Shangguan Yanran didn't leave them penniless.
Although Yao Xuan was killed by Han Feng, he did not take away the title of Venerable Yao Xuan. After Yao Xuan died, he still went out to eat and drink for free under the name of being Yao Xuan's apprentice.
Shangguan Yanran broke off the engagement and even brought some compensation to Xiao Huo. The only issue between Xiao Huo and Shangguan Yanran was the issue of face.
But Tianhuo was really miserable. He had lost all his face and dignity. He was made a fool of and was squeezed dry by others.
No wonder Tianhuo is determined to live another life to seek revenge, no one would accept that.
Lu Yuan could understand now that it was indeed not easy from Tianhuo's perspective.
Lu Yuan: "I won't kill you, but you have to do something for me. I will help you get revenge in the future. Please consider it."
