After Murong Yue finished speaking, Shen Mo's interest was piqued.
"Master, could you expin more about the Eternal Fme? I have never heard of it before," he asked eagerly.
Murong Yue smiled, "Eternal Fmes are fmes naturally born from heaven and earth."
"The attributes of Eternal Fmes vary. Some can control minds, some are wildly explosive and can burn everything, some possess strange devouring abilities, some can turn water into ice, and some feed on lightning."
"There are a total of forty-nine types of Eternal Fmes in the world. However, only those with great fortune can obtain them."
"Eternal Fmes don't have ranks but are listed on the Eternal Fme Rankings. Generally, those ranked higher are more powerful."
"But this is not absolute. Even if the world's number one Eternal Fme has just been born, it naturally cannot compare to an Eternal Fme that has been growing for many years."
Shen Mo nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
It seemed that Eternal Fmes were indeed the most formidable things in the world.
Murong Yue smiled, "I believe in you. With your Scorching Sun Fme Body, you are destined for the Red Lotus Fme. You will surely tame that Eternal Fme!"
"I will not disappoint Master!" Shen Mo cupped his hands in respect.
He was equally excited.
If he could tame the Red Lotus Fme, his combat power would undoubtedly skyrocket!
...
The next day.
All the disciples gathered at the deep pool of Qingxuan Sect.
The entrance to Qingxuan Cave was behind the waterfall. This was something many disciples had not expected.
The entrance to Qingxuan Cave was currently shrouded in azure fmes. These fmes were extremely explosive and terrifying.
Even Core Formation Realm cultivators dared not approach.
Murong Yue, Liu Yuanfeng, and Song Chaofeng channeled their spiritual energy, attacking the fmes at the entrance.
Their forces cshed. The power of the azure fmes visibly weakened.
Behind them stood Shen Mo, Liu Yunxuan, and Song Junjie.
These three were the chosen disciples to enter Qingxuan Cave this time.
Xiao Fan and Liu Fei stood among the crowd below. Xiao Fan made no effort to hide his envy and jealousy.
"I should be one of those standing there!" A fierce beast seemed to roar within his heart.
Liu Fei noticed his mood and quickly comforted him, "Brother Xiao Fan, you are always the best in my heart."
"Missing Qingxuan Cave is nothing. My father can provide you with many other cultivation resources."
Xiao Fan forced a smile.
He felt that he should be there, that he should be one of those entering Qingxuan Cave to cultivate.
Yet, somehow, he had become just a spectator. It felt as if his pce had been taken by someone else.
"Perhaps, luck truly isn't on my side," Xiao Fan thought, his eyes dimming. "Am I really a genius? Am I truly favored by fortune?"
Shen Mo gnced at the despondent Xiao Fan in the crowd, his expression calm.
The first time he had seen Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan's life panel indeed showed that he would enter Qingxuan Cave in the future.
And it was Xiao Fan who was supposed to tame the Red Lotus Fme.
However, Xiao Fan's heaven-grade technique and heavenly physique were intercepted by Shen Mo.
As a result, Xiao Fan's cultivation had slowed significantly.
He hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment Realm before Qingxuan Cave opened and was still only at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Therefore, he wasn't chosen to enter Qingxuan Cave.
Fate was easily altered. A slight nudge could lead to a completely different life path.
Shen Mo no longer paid attention to Xiao Fan and instead checked his life panel.
[Name: Shen Mo]
[Realm: Entry-level Foundation Establishment]
[Fate: Son of a Apothecary, Innate Wisdom, Sword Dao Enthusiast, Slightly Lucky, Scorching Sun Fiery Body]
[Destiny: Ultimately cultivates to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Five years ter, dies during the Divine Sword Sect's attack on Qingxuan Sect.]
[Recent Opportunity: Today, enters Qingxuan Cave for cultivation.]
[Recent Turn 1: A month ter, while cultivating in Qingxuan Cave, gets severely injured by Liu Yunxuan, who has tamed the Red Lotus Fme. No progress in realm.]
[Recent Turn 2: A month and a half ter, upon leaving Qingxuan Cave, gets framed by Liu Yunxuan, who cims that Shen Mo caused Song Junjie's death.]
This morning, Shen Mo woke up and saw these two pieces of information, feeling quite helpless.
It seemed that his luck was still cking a bit. The Red Lotus Fme would definitely be found by Liu Yunxuan first.
He wondered what method Liu Yunxuan used to tame that violent Eternal Fme. Shen Mo quickly gnced at Liu Yunxuan.
[Name: Liu Yunxuan]
[Realm: Major Achievement Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm]
[Fate: Great Fortune, Handsome and Graceful, Avoids Danger, Smooth Sailing, Lesser Yin Profound Ice Body]
[Destiny: Reaches the peak of the Core Formation Realm and becomes an inner elder of the Divine Sword Sect. Forty years ter, while attempting to seize a supreme earth-level treasure, he is besieged by three Core Formation Realm cultivators. Hidden injuries and external wounds fre up, and he is killed by the three.]
[Recent Opportunity 1: Today, gains entry to Qingxuan Cave for cultivation.]
[Recent Opportunity 2: One month ter, with the help of the Eternal Fme Crystal provided by his father Liu Yuanfeng, he finds the Red Lotus Fme in the fourth deep cave of Qingxuan Cave and barely tames it, greatly increasing his strength but leaving him with hidden internal injuries.]
"Eternal Fme Crystal? I've never heard of it, but it sounds simir to the Dark Fme Crystal."
"It must be something very important for taming an Eternal Fme. That's why he could find and tame it so quickly."
"My guess was right; he could only barely tame it. After all, his physique is ice-attribute, more suitable for taming ice-attribute Eternal Fmes, while the Red Lotus Fme is a pure fire-attribute Eternal Fme."
Shen Mo pondered and then looked at the unlucky Song Junjie.
[Name: Song Junjie]
[Realm: Entry-level Foundation Establishment]
[Fate: Incredible Luck, Handsome Appearance, Master of Swords and Bdes, Wind and Thunder Sword Body]
[Destiny: One month ter, finds the Red Lotus Fme with the help of the Eternal Fme Crystal but discovers Liu Yunxuan has beaten him to it. In an attempt to seize Liu Yunxuan's Eternal Fme, he is killed by Liu Yunxuan.]
[Recent Opportunity: Today, gains entry to Qingxuan Cave for cultivation.]
Shen Mo shook his head. What an unlucky fellow.
Lacking strength and average luck, yet still wanting to seize the Eternal Fme.
You'd be lucky if he didn't crush your skull. At this moment, Murong Yue suddenly raised her eyebrows.
Liu Yuanfeng and Song Chaofeng also noticed the azure fmes beginning to weaken. All three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Using spiritual power directly to counter the azure fmes and open the entrance was extremely exhausting.
Even though all three were Core Formation Realm cultivators, they couldn't sustain it for long.
Murong Yue immediately said, "The fmes at the entrance of Qingxuan Cave are about to disappear. You only have thirty breaths."
"Two months ter, I, the Vice Sect Master, and the Grand Elder will reopen the entrance together. Remember the time."
"If you miss the opportunity to come out, you will have to wait fifty years to get out!"
Shen Mo and the other two replied solemnly, "Understood!"
A few breaths ter, the azure fmes completely disappeared.
The three of them lightly touched the ground and, like a gust of wind, rushed into Qingxuan Cave.
After they entered, Murong Yue and the other two stopped channeling their spiritual energy. The azure fmes reappeared, sealing the entrance once again.
Liu Yuanfeng suddenly chuckled, "Sect Master, aren't you leaving?"
Murong Yue directly sat cross-legged on the spot and said calmly, "I will wait here for two months."
Liu Yuanfeng and Song Chaofeng exchanged a gnce and sneered inwardly before quickly leaving. Only Murong Yue remained, quietly waiting.
