Chapter 499 - Merging The Fire Seed

Shao Xuan heard that the old haunt had the ‘roots’ of Flaming Horn. These roots referred to the fire source. The fire seed and the fire sources were not connected, nor did they complete each other.

Today, the fire seed broke free from the fire pit through the fire source. Some flames had blue parts underneath, like a blooming flower.

According to the plan, the first phase was for the fire seed to break free from the pit. This meant that the first phase was successfully completed.

The shaman and Ao’s expressions were complex as they looked at the fire seed floating above the fire pit. From today on, everything was about to change. IN the future, they would never see the fire seed in the fire pit again. The ‘root’ of the old haunt would cease to exist.

But this was not the time to think. The two shamans looked at each other, lifted their arms and reached towards the flames in the pit.

The second phase was about to begin.

After the fire seed had broken free, they had to extract the fire seed out of Zheng Luo and the rest.

Both shamans chanted at the same time, their shamanic powers inducing blue flames to curl and rise.

The flames in the pit whistled in the wind as they flickered, as if they were summoning something.

Totemic patterns that looked like flowing lava appeared on Zheng Luo and his people, growing brighter by the second. When it was at its brightest, it looked as if there was a source of light from within their beings, shining through these patterns.

At the peak of this phenomenon, sparks flew from their patterns, then the sparks became flames, burning along the patterns. In the end, the flames slowly broke free and aggregated between their brows. It was similar to the changes of the fire source on the ground.

The changes started from their limbs. As the flames left their skin, the totemic patterns dimmed, colours darkened.

Palm, elbow, arm, shoulder…

Heel, knee, thigh…

When all the flames were concentrated between their brows, the patterns on their face turned dark too. There was only one spot of light on their face, like a miniature sun. In the end, this bit of light broke free from their bodies and floated towards the fire pit.

Thousands of floating lights looked like a swarm of fireflies, flying towards the fire pit.

The core of the fire pit shone brighter as thousands of lights merged as one, lighting up the place as if it was daytime.

When the last dot of light merged, the flames shot up with a ‘whoosh’, as if it was satisfied, dancing excitedly and celebrating with joy. The double horned totem was bright amongst the flames, looking like the sharp horns of a beast that couldn’t wait to burst out of the flames in a show of power.

The fire seed came from this world. As it changed, the people of the homeland could feel a mighty sense of power between the skies and the earth.

The second phase was complete!

When the two shamans saw this, they were slightly calmer. But it was not the time to rest. The last step required the utmost focus!

If the tribe decided to keep the fire seed in its primitive state, then the ceremony would end here. Although they had been separated for a thousand years, now, the fire seed was complete and whole. Two halves of the fire seed had merged with the fire source. This was the true fire seed! Finally!
