Lingfeng stepped forward without hesitation and placed the shattered stone into Xuanji, then entered the space behind the stone door.
Fortunately, there were no traps or strange formations behind the stone door. Directly opposite the door was a large platform, on which stood a stone rack, and atop it lay a book made of leather.
Lingfeng was overjoyed and hurriedly ran up to take the book. It turned out that this book was made from the hide of a Fire Mouse, which had excellent fire-resistant properties. On the front of the book were the four large characters: Fire Protection Formation.
"Finally got it!" Lingfeng sighed in relief and placed the book into Xuanji. He then dared not delay and headed towards the entrance of the cave.
However, in the Fire Sea, the passage connecting the cave to the shore had already closed. Because Lingfeng had recalled Fire Phoenix, its magical power dissipated, causing the passage to close.
At this moment, Lingfeng's magical power was insufficient to summon Fire Phoenix again; he could only use a simple spell like Fire Release to exit the Fire Sea within three hours.
Lingfeng draped the collected Fire Mouse hide over himself, ensuring that he would not be burned to death once his magical power faded. He then cast Fire Release and entered the Fire Sea.
With determination, Lingfeng ran forward, knowing that directly ahead was the shore of the Fire Sea.
However, after two hours, Lingfeng's stamina began to wane, and the protective ability of Fire Release had evidently weakened. He felt exhausted and was overwhelmed by an urge to give up.
The flames in the Fire Sea continued to blaze fiercely, and the hide of the Fire Mouse began to shine, indicating that Lingfeng was relying on its defensive properties to maintain his current state.
Another half hour passed, and Lingfeng's steps slowed down as if he were bound by two heavy stones, making it difficult for him to move.
"If this continues, I will eventually be trapped here!" Lingfeng gasped for breath; the heat in the air made his lungs feel stifled.
At that moment, changes began to occur with his Fire Release, as if it were about to fuse with the surrounding flames and slip from Lingfeng's control.
Startled, Lingfeng quickly wrapped himself tighter in the Fire Mouse hide. Just as Fire Release was about to vanish, the intense heat of the Fire Sea penetrated through the hide, causing him to feel searing pain from being burned.
In his moment of despair, a muffled sound suddenly erupted above the Fire Sea, followed by a massive Mandala Demon Flower descending and enveloping Lingfeng within it.
"Big Brother?" Wrapped inside the Mandala Demon Flower, Lingfeng quickly soared upward, flying out of the Fire Sea, returning along his original path.
Lingfeng felt a sense of survival against all odds, lying weakly on the Mandala Demon Flower, a refreshing sensation spreading throughout his body.
Thus, the Mandala Demon Flower carried Lingfeng out of Blazing Hell.
Wanshitong and Elder Yang were sitting cross-legged on the ground, both with serious expressions, sweat dripping from their foreheads, as if they were engaged in a strenuous struggle.
After a while, a burst of intense light flashed across the massive Sun Pattern, and then everything returned to calm. The Three Flavors True Fire surrounding the Sun Pattern also vanished, and everything around returned to its original state.
Wanshitong and Elder Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief, slightly opening their eyes to discover that Lingfeng was lying on the Sun Pattern, asleep.
Lingfeng had slept through the night; his fatigue and lack of magical energy had returned him to a normal human sleep state. During this night, Lingfeng's body was automatically replenishing Spiritual Energy, gradually restoring his physical strength.
When Lingfeng woke up, he saw Wanshitong and Elder Yang glaring at each other like two fighting roosters, neither willing to back down.
"What are you two doing?" Lingfeng groggily climbed out of bed and asked in confusion.
The two were distracted by Lingfeng's voice and hurried over to him, asking with concern, "You're awake! How do you feel?"
At that moment, Lingfeng felt very clear-headed but was somewhat hungry. Rubbing his stomach, he said, "Is there anything to eat? I feel so hungry!"
Elder Yang quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, yes!" He then turned around and took out a leg of lamb.
Upon arriving here, Lingfeng's first goal was to find something to eat. This roasted leg of lamb was also one of Lingfeng's favorites, so he eagerly took it and began eating without regard for anyone else.
After a while, as Lingfeng gradually felt satisfied, he noticed Wanshitong looking at him with anticipation.
"Big brother, you should eat some too!" Lingfeng said as he held the leg of lamb near Wanshitong's mouth.
Wanshitong hesitated for a moment before glancing at Elder Yang and decisively said, "I won't eat!"
Elder Yang knew Wanshitong was targeting him and chose not to respond. Instead, he leaned closer to Lingfeng and asked, "By the way, have you obtained the Fire Protection Formation?"
"Yes, I got it!" Lingfeng swallowed the lamb meat, then set the leg of lamb aside and summoned the Fire Protection Formation, handing it to Elder Yang.
However, before Elder Yang could take the Fire Protection Formation, Wanshitong stepped in and snatched it away, holding it protectively against his chest. "The Fire Protection Formation was obtained by my brother at great risk to his life; how can it be handed over so easily?"
Previously, Wanshitong had urged Lingfeng to enter Blazing Hell, which left him quite displeased with Elder Yang. Despite Elder Yang's repeated explanations, Wanshitong remained unconvinced and accused him of having ulterior motives. Thus, he was already prepared to seize the Fire Protection Formation.
Elder Yang naturally understood Wanshitong's character and continued to yield, but Wanshitong was stubborn and refused to back down. This time, seizing the Fire Protection Formation truly angered Elder Yang.
"Wanshitong, do not go too far!" Elder Yang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he trembled with rage.
Wanshitong pouted like a child and said, "I never bully anyone; I only bully those who..."
"Brother!" Lingfeng interrupted Wanshitong before he could say something inappropriate. "Brother, Elder Yang intends to give me this secret manual; please do not make things difficult for him!"
Wanshitong looked incredulously at Elder Yang and then at Lingfeng, questioning, "Normally when you come to Divine Fork Yang State, you are driven away. How could he be so generous as to give you the Fire Protection Formation?"
Although Wanshitong maintained a neutral stance between Celestial and Demonic factions, he was still a Demon Cultivator. Thus, when he entered the realm of cultivators, he faced some exclusion from certain individuals. This included Elder Yang, who completely denied the existence of Demon Cultivators. There had been misunderstandings in the past, which was why Wanshitong preferred not to leave the Mandala Demon Realm.
"Brother, I broke through the outer formation, and the prophecy on the falling stone states that the one who breaks the formation can obtain the Fire Protection Formation. That is why Elder Yang decided to give it to me!" Lingfeng explained.
Wanshitong still seemed hesitant but noticed that Elder Yang remained silent without any strange expressions. Finally convinced, he handed the Fire Protection Formation back to Elder Yang.
"This formation was created by my Ancestor according to the will of the Sun God. Very few people have had the chance to see this secret manual; I never expected that today I would be able to witness it thanks to my brother!" Elder Yang said as he took the manual and gently stroked its cover with excitement.
Lingfeng smiled shyly and then curiously asked, "But since you have never seen this manual before, how did you learn such advanced techniques of the Fire Protection Formation?"
It is known that Divine Fork Yang State primarily cultivates the Fire Control Technique. People here automatically develop fire control abilities upon reaching a certain age; however, their fire control skills are not very advanced and can only perform simple tasks using the Fire Control Technique.
Yet becoming the First Elder of Divine Fork Yang State requires more than just fire control skills; it also demands proficiency in advanced Fire Protection Formation techniques to ensure that residents are protected from outside threats.
Elder Yang sighed softly and gazed thoughtfully. "The elders of Divine Fork Yang State do not enhance their cultivation through practicing manuals but rather through the true teachings passed down from previous elders. As for our ability to use the Fire Protection Formation, it is merely a part of what is contained in this manual!"
Elder Yang's words left Lingfeng astonished. In his view, Elder Yang's cultivation was already unfathomable. Although he was only proficient in the Fire Control Technique, the mere fact that he could wield the Three Flavors True Fire suggested that even a jack-of-all-trades might not be his match.
Despite Elder Yang repeatedly emphasizing that his ability to control the Three Flavors True Fire came from the Sun God, Lingfeng knew that if he were to possess even a fraction of that ability, he would likely struggle to control even a spark of the Three Flavors True Fire. It wasn't that Lingfeng didn't know how to control it; rather, his power simply wasn't sufficient.
If Elder Yang could only utilize a portion of the Fire Protection Formation, then if he were to learn all the skills within the Fire Protection Formation, his cultivation would be unimaginable.
However, Lingfeng understood that the Fire Protection Formation was certainly not easy to learn; its difficulty might even surpass that of the Falling Leaves Technique. Therefore, Lingfeng had no intention of mastering all the content within the Fire Protection Formation.
"But since you have already created the Fire Protection Formation, why not let you all cultivate it?" Lingfeng asked in confusion.
Elder Yang was about to respond when the jack-of-all-trades chuckled mischievously and provocatively said, "Of course, it's because their Ancestor had foresight and knew that his descendants were all useless people. So he passed down his knowledge to future generations instead of letting them waste time learning this spell!"
Lingfeng looked at the jack-of-all-trades with a headache but couldn't say much in response.
"You mischievous old man, what do you know?" Elder Yang naturally wouldn't back down and angrily scolded the jack-of-all-trades. He then turned to Lingfeng and said, "The treasures of Divine Fork Yang State are the Fire Protection Formation and the Fire Control Scripture. Although both are profound spells for cultivating the Fire Control Technique, our predecessors have decreed that disciples of Divine Fork Yang State cannot cultivate both spells simultaneously; they can only choose one. Since the Fire Control Scripture is fundamental for practicing the Fire Control Technique, disciples throughout history have chosen to cultivate the Fire Control Scripture, while they have never learned the true spells within the Fire Protection Formation. The elders who mastered the Fire Protection Formation did so after it was modified by our Ancestor, and it has no relation to the formations recorded in this book."

Lingfeng stepped forward.
