Xu Wuyi was deep in thought.
"So, quiet your mind, and watch." Flame Venerable clapped him on the shoulder. "When you have your own answer, we'll talk about training."
With that, he turned and walked out of the bamboo house, leaving Xu Wuyi alone.
Xu Wuyi sat down, his gaze returning to the Celestial Bird Bathing in Fire Painting.
At first, he only saw the surface.
The shape of the flames, the posture of the Divine Bird, the painting's composition...
But as time passed, his consciousness gradually immersed itself in the painting.
In a trance, he could almost hear the crackling of the flames and feel the scorching waves of heat.
The flames in the painting were no longer static; they began to flow, swirl, and ascend.
The Divine Bird's eyes grew deeper, more profound.
Xu Wuyi closed his eyes. Within his sea of consciousness, the Mountain Peak Great Sun Realm manifested on its own.
But unlike before, this time, the great sun's light was more intense, its flames more condensed.
