In the crystal-clear and spacious meridians, the milky white flame surged like a tide, wildly surging. After being fully refined by Xiao Yan, the Falling Heart Flame behaved like a well-behaved baby, with no resistance to his commands, completely devoid of its previous rebelliousness.
Xiao Yan’s mind controlled the Falling Heart Flame as it flowed through the meridians. After several cycles of circulation, it slowly poured into the now empty vortex.
When the Falling Heart Flame fully entered the vortex, Xiao Yan slowly exhaled. Then, with a thought, he saw the center of the vortex, where a flood of green flames burst forth from the “Nalan” that stored the different types of Flames.
With the appearance of the Green Lotus Core Flame, the previously calm Falling Heart Flame suddenly began to boil. All unusual Flames are extremely destructive; if two different Flames collide, one will either devour the other or be devoured, with no other choice. Therefore, as soon as the Green Lotus Core Flame appeared, even though Xiao Yan had suppressed the Falling Heart Flame, it still began to stir instinctively.
Of course, it was not just the Falling Heart Flame that was stirring. The Green Lotus Core Flame, which had been extremely obedient and had saved Xiao Yan multiple times, also began to flutter, instinctively driving it to forcibly devour the opposing Flame, making it even stronger.
“No wonder they always say that an Alchemist can at most control one type of Flame. I never imagined the resistance between them would be so strong…” Suppressing the turbulence of the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Falling Heart Flame, Xiao Yan sighed in his heart.
“If not for the ‘Flame Decisive’, attempting to merge them would only lead to self-immolation.” Xiao Yan murmured, and with a slight movement of his mind, a powerful surge of Dou Qi emerged from his body, tracing the path of the Flame Decisive before carefully pouring into the vortex, standing like a barrier between the Falling Heart Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame.
“Next… let’s start merging.”
With a deep breath, Xiao Yan finally issued the command from his mind. As the command was given, the pressure on the two Flames disappeared. Unrestrained, they roared like tigers descending the mountain, crashing together with a deafening roar.
“Boom!”
Although there was a layer of Dou Qi from the Flame Decisive between the two Flames, their collision still produced a low, resonant sound. The temperature in the vortex gradually rose.
Xiao Yan carefully manipulated the Flame Decisive Dou Qi to keep the two Flames separate, but despite this, they continued to roll like waves, continually releasing heat as if in competition.
A steady stream of Flame Decisive Dou Qi flowed through the meridians, then into the Dou Qi, and finally into the two unusual Flames. With the addition of this special Flame Decisive Dou Qi, the two originally explosive Flames gradually calmed down.
Seeing the Flame Decisive Dou Qi have a good effect, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Observing the calming Flames, he cautiously removed the thin membrane of Dou Qi separating them.
The Dou Qi membrane slowly disappeared, and the two colors of flame, green and white, finally made contact without any barriers. At the moment of contact, nothing happened, but just as Xiao Yan was about to relax, a low explosion rang out in the vortex, causing his heart to leap.
His mind instantly moved to the vortex, where the chaotic scene reminded him of a volcano erupting in the middle of the sea. His pores tightened in response.
“Damn… can these Flames really merge?” Xiao Yan muttered, watching the two-color mixed fireball explode continuously. It was like gunpowder meeting a spark, leading to violent explosions. Fortunately, Xiao Yan had mixed a lot of harmonizing Flame Decisive Dou Qi into both Flames, otherwise, the explosion would have been even more intense.
But the explosions seemed to be getting more violent, and it might not be long before they shattered Xiao Yan’s body. Feeling the pain in the vortex, Xiao Yan shook his head bitterly. With a thought, a powerful rush of Dou Qi surged out of his body, flowing along the path of the Flame Decisive, continuously pouring into the vortex and joining the two increasingly loud fireballs.
Xiao Yan’s method was his only option. Since the two Flames were so difficult to merge, he would pour in the Flame Decisive Dou Qi to harmonize them. Although it was a temporary measure, it worked well. As the continuous influx of Flame Decisive Dou Qi, the explosions in the vortex gradually weakened. The two Flames, although still resistant, were at least temporarily less volatile.
Seeing some success, Xiao Yan relaxed slightly. Perfectly merging the two Flames was not something that could be achieved quickly. At least, now they were no longer conflicting, which was a significant step forward.
The Flame Decisive Dou Qi continued to pour into the vortex, and Xiao Yan knew this was a long-term battle. He quickly entered a meditative state, relying on absorbing external energy to provide the necessary Dou Qi to maintain peace between the Flames.
At his current level, his speed of absorbing Dou Qi was far greater than before, allowing him to sustain the large demand.
This was a persistent battle. As long as he could persevere, he would win, provided nothing went drastically wrong.
In the meditative state, the concept of time was blurry. Xiao Yan did not know how much time had passed, but he could feel that a lot of time had gone by due to the intertwining of the two Flames in the vortex.
Though it took a long time, the results were impressive. The two Fires, once incompatible, now mixed like soft clays, showing initial signs of fusion. Xiao Yan’s body remained in the meditative state, but his mind entered a state of hibernation. The Dou Qi in his body continued to flow along the path of the Flame Decisive, eventually entering the vortex to aid in the fusion of the Flames.
After a long time, Xiao Yan’s mind suddenly awakened, and upon checking the vortex, he was filled with joy. The green and white fire clusters were now fully intertwined, and in one corner, a faint light emanated from a part of the interwoven Flames, which eventually merged into a small, emerald-green Flame.
“Have they started fusing…?” Looking at the emerald-green Flame, Xiao Yan’s heart raced. Though it was a small flame, it represented a good start.
Smiling lightly, Xiao Yan waited for the complete fusion of the two Flames. Although the process was slow, the first glimmer of success had shown. Xiao Yan could finally set aside his worries.
Perhaps, when the green and white colors fully transformed into emerald green, the Flame Decisive would reach maturity, and Xiao Yan’s combat power would soar again.
And when the two Flames truly merged, a new Flame would replace the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Falling Heart Flame, inheriting their unique properties and possibly becoming even more powerful.
Xiao Yan eagerly awaited the birth of this new Flame.
