Chapter 1038 - Forward
Chen Fan wasn’t refining the spirits to increase his cultivation or awaken his bloodline power. He wanted the Heaven Seizing Furnace to use them to take the final half step and become the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
When he had advanced to the Heavenly Star realm, information on upgrading the Heaven Seizing Furnace into the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared in his mind.
The Heaven Seizing Furnace had advanced steadily since then and was now a half-step Heaven and Earth Furnace.
However, even after so many years, the furnace was still a half-step Heaven and Earth Furnace, unable to take that final half-step.
Now, Chen Fan saw hope.
The fire spirits in the Ji Clan’s ancestral grounds were a phoenix’s Nirvana Dao Flame—an extremely powerful flame. Though inferior to heaven-refining flames, it was still among the strongest.
If he could absorb enough of its will, he might finally complete the Heaven Seizing Furnace’s transformation. That would improve his abilities, granting him even greater benefits.
However, his priority was still protecting Qin Yao. He wanted to help her achieve a second bloodline awakening and receive the phoenix’s blessing beneath the Chinese parasol tree.
Time passed. Ji Hanyou and the others moved swiftly, ignoring this flaming desert.
These low-level fire spirits were useless to them; their goals needed stronger spirits.
Even if all the fire spirits in the desert region were refined, they would not be comparable to a fire spirit in the ninth-level Manifestation realm.
