Chen Sansi experienced it firsthand.

The process of melting fire feels more like a devouring than a fusion, akin to a big fish eating a small fish.

Given that the Burning Sky Fire is superior to the Ten Thousand Beast Fierce Fire in both rarity and overall power, it thus devours the latter.

Additionally, within Chen Sansi's body, there are the Yin Soul Netherworld Fire and the Taiyin Qinghua Life and Death Flame.

He once again formed a hand seal to cast spells, attempting to fuse these two types of flames as well, a process that went relatively smoothly.

The Yin Soul Netherworld Fire within the mere second-tier magic artifact naturally couldn't compare to the Taiyin Qinghua Life and Death Flame, thus it was devoured by the latter.

After the devouring, the name of Taiyin Qinghua Life and Death Flame did not change but split into "Life" and "Death" flames, controlled at will, with Life Flame for healing and Death Flame for enemy slaying.

However, when Chen Sansi tried to continue, he couldn't manage it.

He was unable to fuse the flames that had just been devoured and evolved, presumably due to insufficient mastery of the Swallowing Fire Technique.

Finally succeeding in forming a Golden Core, Chen Sansi's state of mind became more relaxed.

He did not stop, but took out the Longdan Bright Silver Spear from his Storage Ring and began to forge ahead with the cultivation of the "Dragon Scripture".

The Creation Jade Dew integrated into his body when the Golden Core condensed in his Dantian, and at this moment, his meridians still had residual effects, cleansing his five organs repeatedly with the rich spiritual energy from the Lotus Blessed Land.

Along the sides of Chen Sansi's spine, the kidney among the five vital organs gradually undergoes a transformation, turning into a translucent glaze.

After forming the Golden Core, the surfaces of his internal organs bear imprints of law runes of the Great Dao, coupled with a glazed luster, resembling a peerless treasure of the Immortal Realm.

[Cultivation Technique: Dragon Scripture (True Power Perfection)]

[Progress: 0/0]

[Utility: Blood Burning Tribulation]

[Blood Burning Tribulation: flames entwine the body, blood transforms into molten flames, drive power with blood burst, True Power surges, blood can incinerate magical treasures, temporarily stripping them of spiritual quality.]

Chen Sansi understood this as the martial arts version of the "Blood Burning Technique", able to enhance the strength of True Power by burning essence blood, and in this state, True Power can also affect the enemy's magical artifacts.

Next, he should cultivate towards the Glazed Golden Body Realm.

The subsequent cultivation method is absent and still needs to be obtained from Lord Taishan.

Besides, after forming the Golden Core, his magic artifacts are somewhat insufficient.

The Longdan Bright Silver Spear, left by his master, essentially belongs to a second-tier magic artifact. Fortunately, the base materials are excellent; it's a growth-type Lifebound Magical Artifact, needing only additional materials for remelting later to ascend into a magical treasure.

The material of the Dragon Abyss Sword is even better, but likewise needs upgrading to becoming a magical treasure.

The materials used for upgrading to a magical treasure will determine their future power, therefore they must not be handled carelessly.

Chen Sansi kept this matter in mind, stowed away the two weapons, and ended this period of seclusion.

After leaving the Lotus Blessed Land, he did not see Master Yu Ling, but instead found a young Taoist alone tending to spirit plants at the entrance to the Cave Mansion.

"Congratulations Brother Lu on your breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!"

The young Taoist cupped his hands to offer congratulations: "The number of Golden Core cultivators in the entire Qingxu Sect is no more than two handfuls.

"Brother Lu forms a Golden Core at such a young age, theoretically, you now have the qualifications to open your own peak, and your future is promising."

"Brother Sixteen flatters me."

Chen Sansi calmly responded, "How many great power cultivators exist at Sky Water Continent? The twelve Nascent Soul Upper Sects are unfathomable, not to mention the time-honored three Heavenly Sects, my mere cultivation is insignificant."

This mirrors his true thoughts.

Even after forming a Golden Core, he still can't deal with the horse slave lingering opportunistically behind.

At most, when facing the Guiyuan Sect again, he won't need to fear Huang Laojiu and be able to think of avenging Fourth Brother.

Chen Sansi searched Baihua Valley but could not find his master's wife's whereabouts, so he had to ask around.

The young Taoist replied, "Master Yu Ling and the Supreme Elder received a mandate from the Holy Sect and left several days ago."

"Is it still due to the border warfare?"

Chen Sansi inquired about the situation.

He had been in seclusion forming his core for nearly a year; it's still April of the twenty-fifth year of Tian Wu.

It's been over two years since the great chaos in Si Xue Dao.

Since then, Sky Water Continent has successively lost several "Dao" areas, and among the Twenty-four Golden Core Sects, a full four sects have tragically been exterminated.

The Sky Water Continent line is now tight, and the Great Wall to ward off demons teeters on the brink of collapse.

The main reason is the sudden joining by the "mortal" army.

They're referred to as blood demons.

These blood demons are humans who transform after death, feeding on flesh. Once they accumulate to a certain number, they can exhibit powers comparable to the Heavenly Book Array through various formations.

Relying on a strategy of overwhelming numbers, they can deal with the predominantly Qi Refining cultivators without issues.

In the situation where the number of high realm cultivators on both sides of the right and demon paths is about similar, the extra "blood demons" become crucial for determining victory.

If the Great Wall cannot hold, Sky Water Continent will surely face devastation.

Once controlling vast lands and populations, the demon path forces will rapidly expand, eventually overpowering the righteous path.

"Alas..."

Talking to this point, the young Taoist sighed, "I only lament my shallow cultivation, unable to shoulder responsibility and contribute to Heavenly Dao righteousness.

"Let's not discuss it.

"Brother Lu, I too need to refine myself.

"Before long, we disciples of Qingxu Sect will likely head en masse to the front lines, and recently we've been marginalized, the days ahead will surely be difficult."

"Marginalized?"

Chen Sansi felt puzzled, "Did the Supreme Elder not just step into the mid-stage Nascent Soul, shouldn't the sect's position be rising?"
