As Shen Sangruo floated in mid-air, extremely close to those fiery red eyes, she found it difficult to describe the feeling of looking into Zhuque's eyes.
Unlike Qi Yan and Qing Shu, she truly felt a kind of divinity in Zhu Que.
Just seeing it makes one imagine it spreading its wings and protecting all living beings behind it.
Although she knew it was just a phantom of a spirit, she was still shocked.
Besides divinity, the space was also permeated with extremely pure fire elemental power, which was particularly noticeable to her, who also possessed the fire attribute.
Zhuque's eyes blinked slowly as she met Zhuque's gaze. She didn't know what kind of look it was, but it seemed to contain a faint smile, much like a gentle senior looking at a junior.
"You want the Heart-Burning Flame?" The Vermilion Bird's sharp beak opened and closed, and a calm female voice came out, echoing in the empty space.
“Yes, Qi Yan should have already told you about the soul virus generated by the external system.” Chen Sangruo nodded in response. “It’s possible that only your Burning Heart Fire can clear it away, so I would like to borrow your Burning Heart Fire.”
She thought talking to Suzaku would be very intimidating, but in reality, she was much more relaxed and natural than she had imagined.
"Mmm," Suzaku responded softly.
Then she saw the Vermilion Bird spit out a fireball from its mouth. She could sense that it was the same Heart-Burning Fire she had encountered in the Myriad Spirits before.
Because they were so close, the fireball had already surrounded her before she could react.
Shen Sanruo's outstretched hand, which was about to catch the fireball, froze in mid-air. Looking at the burning Heartfire around her, she was somewhat bewildered.
This unfolded differently than she had imagined.
And those burning flames were surging into her body, transforming into her power, leaving Shen Sangruo even more bewildered.
Unable to hold back, he said, "Suzaku, are you mistaken? I said I only needed to borrow your Burning Heart Flame, but this..."
She glanced at the burning flames around her, her expression hesitant to speak.
This means she directly made the Burning Heart Flame her ability!
She believed that one should not accept rewards without merit. Every step she took along the way was grounded in reality. Although she had many opportunities, she had at least put in a lot of effort to achieve them.
Never before had she experienced such a situation, where after exchanging only a few words with the other party, they directly transferred a certain ability to her.
Moreover, it's a heaven-defying skill like the Burning Heart Fire, which can even attack the soul.
Giving her the special skills of the Five Divine Beasts isn't a good idea, is it? Won't the Heavenly Dao have any objections?
For a moment, she didn't know how to respond, so she could only look straight at Zhuque, trying to ask her with the surprise in her eyes if she had misunderstood her meaning.
"No mistake, it's for you," Suzaku explained.
Whether it was her imagination or not, Zhuque's voice seemed to have a hint of laughter.
"The Burning Heart Fire is special. Even if I give it to you, you will not be able to use it effectively. Only when you also become a user of the Burning Heart Fire can it be put to use."
"I am temporarily unable to leave, so this is the best way to deal with the soul virus as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Heaven doesn't interfere in this matter. Just accept the power of the Burning Heart Fire."
"Moreover, the Burning Heart Fire alone cannot eliminate that soul virus; only the Burning Heart Fire you use can do it."
Zhuque paused for a moment, met her gaze, and continued, "You forgot, your flames are special, possessing a stronger purifying ability."
The system must have been sensed by those evil cultivators when it arrived in the cultivation world, and they tampered with it.
In the subsequent series of actions, all kinds of data were marinated by the evil cultivators, and could be considered as a product of the evil cultivators.
It also possesses evil attributes, and Shen Sangruo's special fire element is the natural enemy of evil.
Only when her power combines with the Burning Heart Fire can the soul virus generated by the system be truly eliminated.
Upon hearing this, Shen Sangruo was taken aback; Zhuque indeed knew that her flames were special.
"I cannot leave, nor can I protect the cultivation world. Giving you the Burning Heart Flame is my way of asking you to help protect the cultivation world. It is my way of doing my part."
"So don't feel that this is not right for you, it is destined to be yours."
Zhuque had already made her point very clearly. If she refused again, it would make her seem cowardly and lacking in common sense. Shen Sanruo was never that kind of person.
"I see."
So I accepted it calmly.
The power from the fireball formed by the Burning Heart Fire continuously flowed into her body, and with her active absorption, it quickly became completely integrated into her body.
After the fireball completely disappeared and she was certain that she possessed the power of the Burning Heart Fire, Chen Sangruo finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.
Suzaku seemed to know that she had doubts, so he did not leave in a hurry.
"Can you tell me your name?" she asked the first question very seriously.
It's a bit strange to always refer to the other person as Vermilion Bird, just like Qi Yan said, it's like calling the other person by their species.
"Of course, my name is Zhu Yu."
"The 'give' in 'to give'?" For some reason, the first word that came to Shen Sangruo's mind was the word "give".
It matches the temperament of Suzaku very well.
"Yes," Zhu Yu replied softly.
"Where are you right now? Why can't you get away? Is it related to those evil cultivators?" This was her biggest concern.
However, Qi Yan had already confirmed with Zhu Yu that the other party was safe, so her later statement was not certain.
Zhu Yu seemed to trust her completely, without hiding anything. "I can't come to the cultivation world because I'm currently maintaining order in the transitional realm."
"The transitional zone?" This answer was somewhat unexpected.
As a derivative world of the cultivation world, the Transitional Realm is also within the protection scope of the Five Divine Beasts.
Could it be that heretical cultivators are causing trouble in the transitional realm as well?
Shen Sanruo pursed her lips in thought. The Transitional Realm appeared after the Great Chaos, and all cultivators above the Refinement Stage would ascend to the Transitional Realm.
If normal cultivators can do it, then those evil cultivators can naturally do it too.
Furthermore, because they monopolized a large amount of spiritual energy in the entire cultivation world, those top-level evil cultivators should be more powerful than the top-level cultivators in the cultivation world.
Thinking of this, Shen Sangruo's face turned very ugly.
The situation in the transitional realm may be worse than that in the cultivation realm.
Their focus was entirely on the cultivation world, busy dealing with the conspiracies of evil cultivators within it, and they hadn't even considered the transitional realm.
"This matter is indeed somewhat related to evil cultivators." Zhu Yu's tone also became more serious.
"But it's not as bad as you think, it's still within a controllable range, it's just that I can't get out of there."
"The Transitional Realm is merely a derivative world of the Cultivation Realm; the ultimate goal of those evil cultivators is still the Cultivation Realm."
"You only need to focus on the situation in the cultivation world. I am enough for the transitional world, so there is no need to worry too much."
