Chapter 622: 622

Meng Fu put down his book, got up, and left the room to stroll the large Fire Cloud Palace .

“Uncle-Master . “

“Uncle-Master . “

“Uncle-Master . “

There were quite a number of cultivators in Fire Cloud Palace . Upon seeing Meng Fu, all of them bowed respectfully . With a smile, Meng Fu nodded slightly as he proceeded . It was unlike Green Touring Palace which had a mix humans, demons, and Godfiends . It was also unlike Jade Void Palace with its strict regulations . Fire Cloud Palace was more united, and it advanced as a union of humans, allowing its present-day prosperity .

Fire Cloud Palace kept a low profile in the Three Realms, but it had the Three Sovereigns’ guidance . Fire Cloud Palace had dozens of mighty figures and, as a mighty figure himself, Meng Fu enjoyed an extremely high standing in Fire Cloud Palace .

Meng Fu quickly arrived in front of an ancient hall . An elder stood watch inside .

“Lord Meng,” greeted the elder with a smile . “Why are you here in our Torch Flame Hall?”

“I need to borrow the Torch Flame Kindling for studying,” said Meng Fu with a smile .

“Torch Flame Kindling?” The elder nodded slightly . “I believe you know the rules needed to borrow the Torch Flame Kindling, but I have to repeat them . It can be borrowed for not more than ten years . Studying the Torch Flame Kindling needs to be done inside Fire Cloud Palace . It cannot be taken out . “

“I know,” said Meng Fu with a smile . The elder in front of him was just a Guardian puppet, so it did things in a rather inflexible manner . It repeated the rules every time .

“Lord Meng, please wait a moment . ” The elder turned and entered the inner hall and soon came out holding a black wooden box . He handed it to Meng Fu .

After receiving it, Meng Fu immediately opened the box .

Inside the box was a ‘kindling’ that emitted a warm fiery light . It looked smaller than a fist and its fiery light suffused redness and some warmth . It was like the only fire in a cold, lonely night, bringing warmth and hope . Continued examination of it would fill one’s heart with energy! That was the will to make the best out of life .

To have fresh forces to continually take the place of those which had pushed ahead, one burned themselves to forge forward and pass down the torch .

“This Torch Flame Kindling is indeed good . Suirenshi was able to figure out the Inextinguishable Torch Flame and had used it to attain a perfected Great Dao . God King Zhurong was born out of the Chaos and he grasped the Connate Fire Great Dao . He’s also a perfected Great Dao existence . It’s no wonder God King Zhurong wishes to obtain this Torch Flame Kindling . He likely wishes to improve his Fire Great Dao further and gain the Myriad Great Dao to attain the Heavenly Dao realm . ” Inside Meng Fu’s mind, Fiend King Boxun’s avatar reflected over the matter .

Boxun had fought Suirenshi before .

Suirenshi’s Inextinguishable Torch Flame was not as domineering as Zhurong’s might, but once something touched the fire, it was very difficult to extinguish! The threat was in no way lower than anything Zhurong could do .

“Zhurong owes the Fiend Ancestor a favor since he was rescued from his imprisonment . Together with the Torch Flame Kindling, Fiend Ancestor plans on exchanging it for the lotus seed . ” Boxun’s avatar thought, “I can also obtain three Original Sin Flowers that were born in the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss, an amalgamation of all the sins in the Three Realms over eons . Both Fiend Ancestor and I will benefit greatly . “

…

With the Torch Flame Kindling in hand, Meng Fu returned to his residence in Fire Cloud Palace . He began cultivating normally .

“This Torch Flame Kindling contains the heritage of the humans’ Three Sovereigns . Every study of it feels as though the Three Sovereigns are teaching me in person . ” Meng Fu mused while studying it . “However, the paths that Suirenshi, Fuxishi, and Shennongshi took… provide me with little help . “

In terms of realm, as a King of Myriad Fiends, Boxun was in no way inferior to the Three Sovereigns . He had long gathered a portion of mighty figure manuals . He had even read the Fiend Ancestor’s Heavenly Dao realm heritage . However, just reading those materials was of little help when it came to taking that final step and reaching the Heavenly Dao realm . He needed to take that step himself .

Attaining the Heavenly Dao realm was much harder than attaining a perfected Great Dao!

After pretending to study the Torch Flame Kindling for three years, Meng Fu would occasionally stroll through Fire Cloud Palace and even discuss the Dao with his fellow disciples .

“Uncle-Master . “

“Uncle-Master . “

That day, Meng Fu was walking in Fire Cloud Palace as usual .

Soon, he arrived at the periphery of the Fire Cloud Palace . At the border of the Fire Cloud Palace’s array, Meng Fu even took a step that made him traverse dozens of kilometers . He very suddenly left Fire Cloud Palace .

As a mighty figure of Fire Cloud Palace, he naturally had the authority to enter and exit . He did not face any obstruction .

“Hahaha, this Fire Cloud Palace sure is confident, believing that it’s impossible for Fire Cloud Palace mighty figures to steal the Torch Flame Kindling and betray humanity? They actually allowed me to leave so easily? I thought I would be stopped at the final moment and have to storm my way out!” Boxun’s avatar was thrilled inside Meng Fu’s heart .

As one of Boxun’s Six Desires avatars, he could barely release strength at the perfected Great Dao level if he gave his all .

“Oh?”

At the instant Meng Fu tore out of Fire Cloud Palace .

Inside an ancient hall in Fire Cloud Palace was a man who sat cross-legged . It looked like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life and his black hair was disheveled . He was none other than the first Human Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns, Suirenshi .

He had suddenly opened his eyes as a look of shock filled them .

The Torch Flame Kindling was produced by him at a great price . It was also something unique produced by his Inextinguishable Torch Flame . Although the Inextinguishable Torch Flame was precious and the Three Sovereigns placed great importance on it, as long as the three remained alive, they could reproduce a Torch Flame Kindling even if they lost it . In addition, it was a heritage and Fire Cloud Palace mighty figures often studied it . It raised the strengths of human mighty figures rapidly .

But he never expected that after all these years, a human mighty figure would dare leave Fire Cloud Palace with the Torch Flame Kindling . It was a severe violation of the rules and a betrayal of humanity .

The Torch Flame Kindling was produced by him; therefore, he instantly sensed its departure from Fire Cloud Palace . He also knew just which mighty figure took away the Torch Flame Kindling .

“It’s Meng Fu?” Suirenshi found it unbelievable .

Meng Fu was a junior who rose up in the past tens of thousands of years . Suirenshi had also watched him grow . To every human mighty figure, Suirenshi would show them concern like they were his child . He also thought highly of Meng Fu and felt that with time, Meng Fu would eventually have a chance of becoming a pinnacle mighty figure .

However, he had actually left Fire Cloud Palace with the Torch Flame Kindling? Was this a betrayal of humanity?

…

“Time to leave . “

The moment he left Fire Cloud Palace, Meng Fu did not hesitate to tear through distant space and head for the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss .

However, just as he was about to leave, he discovered that the Torch Flame Kindling suddenly produced brilliant light . It tore through the wooden box, preventing him from tearing through the void with it .

“Disciple, quickly return!” In loose robes, Fuxishi roared angrily with a voice transmission . His disciple had actually taken the Torch Flame Kindling away? How was he to face Suirenshi? While shouting angrily, Fuxishi had already charged out of Fire Cloud Palace, hoping that his disciple would not persist in his errors .

Suirenshi and Shennongshi were also watching .

The human’s Three Sovereigns were enraged with the first human junior in Fire Cloud Palace history to take the Torch Flame Kindling away .

“There’s a contingency? Haha, then I’ll just take it away by force!” Meng Fu noticed something amiss and did not hesitate to grab the Torch Flame Kindling . Boxun released all his strength and barely reached the perfected Great Dao strength . It was even stronger than Meng Fu himself .

“Boom!”

The surrounding void shattered .

The terrifying commotion immediately alarmed the Heavenly realm .

The battle between Qin Yun and Nine Phoenix back then had alarmed the Heavenly realm, but it was only at the end when Qin Yun used the Qingping Sword to deliver the final blow . A stir at the level of a perfected Great Dao alarmed all parties . Even the Heavenly Courts and Buddhists would look over .

And in Mt . Lightning Roar’s Qin Manor in the Heavenly realm .

Qin Yun, who was cultivating, also sensed the terrifying energy blast .

“Oh? It seems something major has happened?” He was somewhat puzzled as he looked into the distance at the fluctuation . His gaze tore through the distance of space and reached the scene outside Fire Cloud Palace .

He saw it .

He saw Meng Fu grabbing the Torch Flame Kindling in hand outside Fire Cloud Palace . He had a nasty look and he was releasing inexplicable strength . He caused the surrounding void to shatter, but the Torch Flame Kindling remained rooted to space as it emitted blinding light .

Upon seeing the glaring Torch Flame Kindling, Qin Yun felt his heart stir .
