Chapter 207: Scorching Power
Ron regained his senses. Although he was still shocked, he nodded without hesitation and said, “If the Old Ancestor wants me to go, I’ll go.”
Romo nodded in satisfaction and smiled. “Don’t worry, you just have to find a place. When the time comes, I’ll have plans.”
Ron nodded. “Yes.”
Romo said, “Before you set off, I have something for you. First, it is a spell called Demon Killing Chant.
When it was past midnight, Ron, who had learned the Demon Killing Chant and the Energy Magical Book in his dream, woke up.
He lowered his head and looked at the storage ring on his right hand. He sensed it slightly and found that there were two more items inside.
Wooden Sacred Medicine Refining Utensil and Wind Lightning Wings.
Apart from these, there should be something more important… Just as Ron was thinking this, his pupils suddenly constricted. He saw a strange pale light flicker in the air in front of him, and then this light expanded in the blink of an eye, turning into a ball of white light flame the size of a coin.
The flame clearly did not emit any heat, but it made one feel as if one’s body and mind were being burned uncontrollably.
He also felt a sense of reverence that he did not dare to touch. At this moment, Karuman, who was in the gatekeeper’s cubicle of the ancestral hall, and the Five-Color Peacock who was in seclusion behind the ancestral hall were all jolted awake.
Karuman looked in Ron’s direction in surprise and could not help but murmur, “What… is it this time?”
Karuman had long been used to the various magical situations that the Nicholas family had encountered every few days, such as someone advancing with ease and so on. However, the strange wave he had sensed just now was something he had never felt before. In that instant, it made him shudder.
He could not help but want to use his magical power to take a look, but he found that the entire courtyard where Ron was in had been enveloped by an invisible force. His magical power could not sweep through it at all.
Karuman immediately retracted his magical power tactfully and did not dare to try again.
The situation of the Five-Color Peacock behind the ancestral hall was similar to that of Karuman.
“Is this the Strange Sacred Flame that the Old Ancestor had mentioned? It is indeed magical!” Ron looked at the pale-white flame floating in front of him in surprise.
Then, Ron took a deep breath and suppressed the strong sense of reverence in his heart. He slowly stretched out his right hand and placed it beside the flame. Then, he gritted his teeth and suddenly held it in his palm.
In the next moment, he felt a scorching force boring into his palm. It was as if it had a holy aura, and it flowed down his arm and into his body.
In the blink of an eye, his right arm and half his body seemed to have withered instantly as if countless years had passed. Then, they instantly recovered to their original state.
When the Light Passage Sacred Flame entered Ron’s acupoints, he began to age rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he became like a thousand-year-old withered corpse. Only his eyes still had a faint hint of life, and they looked as if they would extinguish at any moment.
When this trace of life was really about to be extinguished, Ron’s body recovered rapidly in the blink of an eye. When he regained his original appearance, the aura in his body was several times stronger than before.
However, there was a look of extreme pain in Ron’s eyes. It was obvious that the process was not pleasant at all.
However, amidst the pain, there was also a hint of tenacity and determination. It was as if he had known this would happen and… was willing to endure it.
This was because the Old Ancestor had said that the longer one could endure the refining by this Strange Sacred Flame, the more benefits there would be.
As the System’s host, Romo had a natural right to control the items produced by the System. For example, the top-grade Spirit Sword Embryo was in Lily’s possession, and the Light Passage Sacred Flame was given to Ron.
However, if Ron wanted to control the Strange Sacred Flame, he would have to refine it.
The process of refining the Strange Sacred Flame was very difficult, but it was also very beneficial. The Strange Sacred Flame was a mutant of the heavens and earth, and the energy contained in it was difficult to estimate. When refined, not only could it temper the physical body, it could also cause one’s level to skyrocket.
However, under normal circumstances, refining the Strange Sacred Flame was a very dangerous thing. If there were any mishaps, one would lose his life. However, Ron had the protection of the Old Ancestor, so he was naturally not in such danger.
However, Romo was only providing Ron the last line of protection. How long it would take for Ron to refine the Strange Sacred Flame and how much benefits he would be able to obtain from it would depend on his willpower and luck.
Time passed little by little. Ron’s condition kept cycling between aging and recovery, and his level continued to rise in the process.
Finally, when dawn came, Ron had stabilized after another round of aging and recovery…
After daybreak, the Nicholas family members came to the ancestral hall as usual to pay respects to their ancestors.
Karuman sat on a stool to the left of the entrance of the ancestral hall, occasionally responding to the greetings of the Nicholas family.
Although he was only a gatekeeping old servant in name, the Nicholas family had always respected him and never treated him as a servant.
“Karuman.” At this moment, Ron came to the door of the ancestral hall and greeted Karuman as usual.
Karuman’s eyes flickered when he saw Ron. He nodded calmly in response, but his heart was full of surprise.
He knew that something special had definitely happened to Ron last night, but when he saw him now, he could not tell what was special about him. Ever since Ron had changed his cultivation to the All-Encompassing Technique, Karuman could not tell his level.
However, although he could not tell the level, Karuman could tell from his intuition that there had been a great change in Ron’s level because his intuition had actually sensed a hint of danger from the current Ron.
Could Ron’s level… have surpassed his?
How is this possible?
Karuman, who had come to this conclusion, was full of surprise and suspicion. He could not help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.
After Ron had offered incense to the ancestors, he found Norton and informed him of the arrangements.
Norton was shocked to hear this, but he naturally would not disobey or doubt the arrangements made by the Old Ancestor, like Ron.
Ron had only told Norton about this operation. Then, he quietly left the Nicholas family and Winterfrost.
Whether it was Karuman in the residence, the City Lord Lein Dupont, or the spies who were secretly monitoring the Nicholas family, none of them had discovered Ron’s departure.
After Ron had left Winterfrost, he let go of his form and flew west as a beam of light. He did not choose to take a flying ferry but flew directly.
He moved all the way west, and his destination was the Dark Night Canyon, a place where everyone in the magic world would shudder when they spoke of it.
After Ron had left, the Nicholas family continued to live as peacefully as before.
Norton had temporarily sealed off Ron’s room with the excuse that Ron was going to cultivate in seclusion and did not allow anyone to come near and disturb him.
