Chapter 117: Soul Mark
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While the people outside the Central Palace were shocked by this shadow, they did not know that as the array formation was activated, Chen Beixuan, Shen Ran, and Xiao Han had already entered the palace.
With Elder Yan’s guidance, Xiao Han successfully avoided all kinds of obstacles and broke through various array formations. He was only a step away from the Fire Phoenix True Flame.
As for Chen Beixuan, because he had the Breath Control Technique that could seal one’s essence, energy, and spirit, even high-level cultivators could not discover him.
Not to mention that Xiao Han was only at the ninth level of the Divine Sea Realm. It was impossible for him to sense his existence.
However, when Shen Ran stepped into this palace, Xiao Han immediately sensed it and was filled with hatred.
!!
“Shen Ran again! He’s actually here!”
Xiao Han’s expression changed drastically as he looked anxiously at the constantly jumping Fire Phoenix True Flame in front of him.
Just a step away, he would obtain the Fire Phoenix True Flame. He would not obtain it in the guise of others!
This Fire Phoenix True Flame will definitely belong to me! Xiao Han made up his mind, and his aura immediately rose because of his emotions.
Elder Yan, who was inside the jade pendant, sensed Xiao Han’s emotions and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I’m the master of the Fire Phoenix True Flame. Even if you can’t control it, with me around, I definitely will not let Shen Ran have it.”
Hearing this, Xiao Han felt a little relieved.
At this moment, Shen Ran, who had just stepped into the palace, was also burning with anxiety.
Because at this moment, Shen Ran had already arrived in front of the array formation.
Yin-Yang Array! Eight Trigrams Diagram? Shen Ran activated his spiritual power and activated eight directions at the same time.
Eight divine beasts appeared at the same time. Their spiritual power surged, and their illusory souls almost condensed into matter as they pounced over.
Shen Ran immediately used the huge dragon figure condensed from spiritual energy to suppress it. With the intimidation of the Ancient Eye Technique, he easily removed the array formation that had been broken once.
After breaking through this layer of array formation, Shen Ran looked anxious.
He was already two levels behind the Fire Phoenix True Flame.
Because Xiao Han and Chen Beixuan were familiar with the palace, they were far ahead.
However, he was obstructed by the array formation and the Guardian Divine Beasts.
If this continues, this Heavenly Fire might be obtained by others. Shen Ran frowned, and a cold light flashed across his eyes. He broke two more array formations in a row and continued to rush deeper within.
Oh right! Shen Ran suddenly thought of the system.
He could use the system’s ability to modify the narrative and put himself as the only successor of the Fire Phoenix True Flame. Wouldn’t everything be fine?!
Shen Ran’s anxious mood was instantly relieved and he was in a good mood.
[System.] Shen Ran immediately used the system, [I want to modify the narrative.]
[Ding!]
[The system has detected that the host wanted to modify the narrative…]
[Host, please edit…]
Shen Ran thought for a moment and immediately edited, [Shen Ran is the only successor of the Fire Phoenix True Flame. Only Shen Ran can obtain the Fire Phoenix True Flame. Others can’t control it. Forcefully controlling it will only result in backlash.]
Shen Ran thought for a moment and continued, [No matter how high the other party’s cultivation realm is, the Fire Phoenix True Flame only recognizes Shen Ran.]
1
Shen Ran was satisfied. [Done.]
[This modification narrative can be said to be very logical.] Shen Ran smiled in satisfaction, and his anxiety immediately dissipated.
To put it bluntly, once the narrative took effect, the Fire Phoenix True Flame would be his. No one could snatch it away.
[Ding! Detecting host’s narrative…]
[Ding! Congratulations, host. The modification of the narrative is successful.]
Shen Ran was overjoyed and continued deeper into the palace, feeling happy.
This way, even if Xiao Han and Chen Beixuan were the first to obtain it, they would not be able to refine it.
As expected, when Shen Ran’s system was modified, Xiao Han encountered a problem at his side.
“Boom!!!”
When Xiao Han was refining the Fire Phoenix True Flame that had just been controlled, it suddenly went berserk. Flames rose in all directions, causing violent energy fluctuations, causing the surrounding temperature to rise crazily.
How can this be? Xiao Han placed his palm on the Fire Phoenix True Flame and felt its strong resistance. I’ve already cultivated the Heavenly Flame Technique. I should be able to immediately refine this Fire Phoenix True Flame.
However, after Xiao Han had just obtained it, he realized that he was unable to refine it regardless of what he did.
Xiao Han had no choice but to retract his magic powers, but he realized that the Fire Phoenix True Flame was struggling violently. The flames jumped crazily, and the surrounding energy continued to fluctuate.
The golden flames were violent, turning into a golden phoenix that instantly burned the void.
Xiao Han’s expression changed drastically. He quickly pushed the ball of flames out with his palm, but he still suffered a backlash.
“Bang!”
Under the fluctuation of fire energy, Xiao Han was burned by the hot temperature of the flames. He suddenly retreated, and his face turned pale.
“It actually backfired!” Xiao Han looked afraid and a little embarrassed. He immediately asked, “Elder Yan, why? Why can’t I refine it?”
Xiao Han was puzzled. The Fire Phoenix True Flame was right in front of him, but he could not race against time to obtain it. Xiao Han just could not wait.
If he still could not refine the Fire Phoenix True Flame, when Chen Beixuan and Shen Ran arrived, his only eighth level Divine Sea strength would not be their match at all.
Besides, this time, he was the first to activate the array formation, attracting the attention of all the cultivators in the mystic realm.
Gu Shuyu, Zhou Ziran, Lei Qianren, and the other geniuses were also gathered outside the palace at this moment.
“Elder Yan, help me.” Xiao Han’s expression was cold. He would not allow anything to go wrong with this opportunity.
Therefore, in order to forcefully obtain the Heavenly Flame, Xiao Han intended to let Elder Yan intervene.
Elder Yan was equally surprised. Then he said in a low voice, “Don’t panic. Let me try.”
Elder Yan’s phantom slowly appeared from the jade pendant, and then he used the Heavenly Flame Technique on the Fire Phoenix True Flame.
After the Heavenly Flame Technique was used, Elder Yan’s aura rose, but the Fire Phoenix True Flame became even more irritable.
“Boom!!!”
The Fire Phoenix True Flame instantly went berserk. Countless fire phoenixes flew out of the flames and flapped their wings to rush over.
“Clang!”
The fire phoenixes’ sharp cries sounded as they attacked Elder Yan.
Elder Yan looked confused and quickly returned to the jade pendant. His forehead was covered in cold sweat and he was extremely embarrassed.
“How can that be?” Elder Yan sweated.
Although he was dead, he was still the previous owner of the Heavenly Flame.
Moreover, the soul mark he placed in the Fire Phoenix True Flame was there. How could he not control the Heavenly Flame?
Xiao Han was forced to retreat, his expression changed drastically.
“Elder Yan, even you can’t control the Fire Phoenix True Flame?” Xiao Han was in disbelief. “Aren’t you the master of the Fire Phoenix True Flame?”
Xiao Han felt disappointed and even more anxious.
Seeing that Elder Yan could not control the Heavenly Fire, he decided to refine it himself.
“I have to obtain this Fire Phoenix True Flame.” Xiao Han couldn’t care less.
Seeing that Shen Ran and Chen Beixuan were about to arrive, he had to give it a try.
Inside the jade pendant, Elder Yan was also a little embarrassed. Just as he was wondering, he suddenly sensed the abnormality of the Fire Phoenix True Flame.
“Eh? Why is this Fire Phoenix True Flame…?”
At some point, there was actually a trace of Shen Ran’s soul mark in the Fire Phoenix True Flame.
How is that possible!!!
Elder Yan was even more stunned. This Fire Phoenix True Flame should have his soul mark. Why did it become Shen Ran’s?
