Ling Xiao was even more direct. He flashed to Shen Qian's side, grabbed his wrist, and carefully sensed it.
"How is it?" Shi Dingyan asked.
Ling Xiao shook his head.
Shi Dingyan breathed a sigh of relief but also frowned. "That's not right. If the Dao were to collapse, you would definitely be injured. But it's a common understanding that the Dao cannot turn back... Junior Brother, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"No, it won't happen." Shen Qian shook his head firmly.
"It's not difficult to verify."
After a long silence, Wu Jun suddenly spoke, "Junior Brother, where does the path you've chosen lead?"
Shi Dingyan and the others understood what Wu Jun was going to do and all looked at Chen Qian.
"First... uh, the end of that path should be a seven-colored flame."
He recalled for a moment and said.
"Seven-colored flames?"
Shi Dingyan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, his figure flickered in place for a moment, and when he solidified again, he had a thick book with an ancient style in his hand.
"What is this?" Shen Qian asked curiously, noticing that there was no name on the book.
"This is the teacher's own collection, which I borrowed before but never returned."
Shi Dingyan smiled and said, "This book records many Dao phenomena that the teacher knows or has seen. Flame is a relatively common Dao, so perhaps the answer can be found in it."
As he spoke, Shi Dingyan opened the book, searched around for a while, and soon his gaze settled on a certain page.
"Describe the appearance of the flames in more detail."
"The center is seven-colored, but the edges are pitch black. If you look closely, the shape is somewhat like a large bird."
"Found it."
Shi Dingyan let out a long breath, shook his head and laughed, "As expected of you, this is the Seven Absolute Spirit Flame, one of the nine great flames of the heavens. You have quite the ambition."
Ling Xiao and the others smiled, not too surprised.
Although the Tao can lead to heaven at its end, the Tao also has its strengths and weaknesses.
And this strength or weakness is likely determined from the very beginning.
For example, even though they both follow the path of fire, some people walk the most common path of bright fire, while others walk the path of fire from all heavens. Naturally, they are not on the same level.
It's just that the simpler the path, the easier it is to walk.
"Since it is such a high level of fire magic, then I understand, junior brother. May the flames purify your ugliness."
Wu Jun softly recited a line.
boom!
The next moment, Shen Qian's entire body burst into flames.
Before he could react, Shen Qian was startled and then exclaimed "Huh?"
Because he discovered that although the fire was intense and he did feel the heat, he was completely unharmed... except for his clothes being burned off.
"really!"
Shi Dingyan and the others were shocked because their conjecture had been confirmed.
"You have indeed traversed the path of fire, and you still retain traces of that path; otherwise, this scene would be difficult to explain..."
Once it was confirmed, Liu Changqing felt somewhat lost and dejected.
He could sense that Shen Qian hadn't used a single bit of his vital energy; he had withstood the flames solely with his physical body.
Even if this is just an ordinary flame, it would be impossible below the level of mountains and seas.
Having confirmed Shen Qian's words, Shi Dingyan and the others fell into a state of daze.
They probably never expected that what Shen Qian said was actually true.
Does a path to return to truly exist in this world?
No, to be precise, are there people who can turn back from the wrong path?
The thought of Shen Qian leaping back and forth on the "Great Road" struck Shi Dingyan as utterly absurd.
What the hell is that?!
