The warm sunshine falls on the top of Fengshen Mountain.
Dozens of palaces are shimmering in golden light, looking quite sacred and peaceful.
In the west courtyard of Tiansheng Palace, Hong Chengtian flew to the roof to meditate and practice as usual.
He sat on the eaves, facing the rising sun in the east, and practiced Qigong with his eyes closed.
As he breathed out, the clouds in the sky surged, and the essence of the sun and moon were swallowed and refined by him.
Early in the morning, it is the time when yin and yang meet.
The moonlight essence at night has not yet dissipated, and the sunlight essence during the day has arrived. This is the most suitable time for cultivation.
After Hong Chengtian meditated for half an hour, he refined all the flowing clouds and morning glow on the horizon, and the top of Fengshen Mountain became cloudless and clear.
The majestic energy of the sun and the moon was flowing in his body, nourishing his injured soul.
He slowly stopped and opened his eyes.
However, when he saw the scene in the sky clearly, he was stunned on the spot.
The originally clear and bright sky, for some reason, was filled with thousands of miles of morning glow, fiery red and dazzling.
"This...how could such a strange phenomenon appear? Is this a sign?"
Hong Chengtian suddenly frowned, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
He looked up at the sky, stared at the flow of red clouds all over the sky, and used the secret method of heaven and earth to analyze the avenue of heaven and earth.
If the fiery red clouds were really some kind of omen, he had to deduce it in advance. Is the omen good or bad?
However, when he used the secret method of heaven and earth, he could not deduce the result at all, let alone good or bad.
This made him even more confused, and his heart became more shocked and worried, "What kind of omen is this, so mysterious? Even Dayan Zhoutian's secret method can't guess any clues?
If it is a good sign, this will definitely benefit millions of people.
If it is a sign of great misfortune, this may be a disaster that will destroy the world!"
Thinking of this, Hong Chengtian immediately flew down from the roof, walked out of the house, and went to find the Great Protector to discuss the matter.
However, as soon as he walked out of the house, he saw a dozen guards and maids in the garden, all stopping to look at the sky and discussing in whispers.
The guards and maids all looked towards the northern sky, their expressions full of surprise and shock.
"Oh my god, what's going on with that fire that's soaring into the sky?"
"Look at the location where the fire is lit, it seems to be on the northern edge, where it seems to be the Burning Heaven Palace."
"I remember that many years ago, when the Third Protector was refining elixirs in Fentian Palace, this kind of sky fire seemed to appear..."
"I heard that Burning Heaven Palace has been closed for hundreds of years. It seems that there is something wrong with the alchemy cauldron and it cannot be activated. Why is it activated again now?"
Hong Chengtian was powerful and had sharp ears and eyes, so he naturally heard the discussions of several guards.
His body suddenly stiffened, his steps froze on the spot, and he slowly turned his head to look at the northern sky.
When he saw clearly that the red clouds in the sky were indeed emerging from Fentian Palace, he suddenly realized.
"Hehehe... I didn't expect that it was the formation of Burning Heaven Palace that was activated, causing the sky to burst into flames and form clouds.
I actually mistakenly thought it was some kind of vision of heaven and earth, how shameful!"
He showed a self-deprecating smile, feeling a little embarrassed.
However, he reacted immediately, and the smile on his face immediately turned into deep shock.
"No! The Burning Heaven Palace has been idle for a hundred years, and the Burning Heaven Cauldron cannot be activated at all. How could it cause the red clouds to rise into the sky?
Could it be that Ji Tianxing activated the Burning Heaven Cauldron?
This is impossible! Absolutely impossible! I have personally inspected the Burning Heaven Cauldron, and there is something missing in the formation and the core of the Alchemy Cauldron, so there is no way it can be started smoothly!"
Thinking of this, Hong Chengtian felt a little excited and his eyes were shining with light.
"With Ji Tianxing's level of strength, it is absolutely impossible to repair the Burning Heaven Cauldron. He must have asked the Great Protector for help!
Only the Great Protector, with the strength of the Martial Saint Realm, can activate the Burning Heaven Cauldron.
No wonder Ji Tianxing didn't show up for ten consecutive days. It turned out that he really went to Fentian Palace and was really going to start refining alchemy...
I have to go and see what’s going on.”
Hong Chengtian was filled with shock and expectation, and he couldn't wait to leave the West Courtyard and rush to the Burning Heaven Palace in the north.
…
At the same time, the entire Fengshen Mountain was alarmed.
The young geniuses from the six countries saw the red clouds that covered the sky and the sun early in the morning, reflecting the earth in a fiery red.
Several divine envoys and countless golden-armored guards and maids also saw the scene of red clouds covering the sky.
Countless people were discussing this matter in various palaces, several squares, and many gardens and corridors.
Everyone looked at the northern sky, looked at the magnificent scene brought by the gorgeous red clouds, and discussed the reason for the appearance of the red clouds.
"How could there be such a dazzling red cloud covering the sky so early in the morning?"
"That red cloud has a radius of at least tens of thousands of miles, right? It also contains scorching fire, like fire from the sky!"
"Judging from the origin of Hongxia, it seems to be the Burning Heaven Palace in the north... That's strange. Hasn't the Burning Heaven Palace been idle for hundreds of years?"
"I heard that Fentian Palace is a holy place for alchemy, but the alchemy cauldron broke a hundred years ago and has never been opened again."
"Did someone repair the Burning Heaven Cauldron and restart it?"
"It is said that the Burning Heaven Cauldron is a holy-level alchemy cauldron. Only strong men in the Martial Saint Realm can repair and use it. The Great Protector must have done it himself!"
"Ah? Did the Great Protector personally take action to refine the elixir in Fentian Palace? It must be a world-shaking holy elixir!"
"Let's go and have a look. It's our blessing to see the Great Protector refining the holy elixir with our own eyes. It will definitely benefit us throughout our lives!"
Similar conversations were staged in various palaces in Fengshen Mountain.
The young geniuses from the six countries, as well as some guards and maids who were not on duty, rushed to Fentian Palace.
Even several divine envoys and Hong Chengtian were on their way to Burning Heaven Palace.
After all, Burning Heaven Palace is a holy land for alchemy, but it is not a forbidden area. Disciples and guards and maidens are not prohibited from approaching.
As early as a hundred years ago, when Burning Heaven Palace was still operating normally, the Great Protector would occasionally open a furnace to refine pills.
Whenever he makes alchemy, it is a grand event on Fengshen Mountain, attracting countless people to watch and learn.
However, the materials for refining the holy elixir are extremely valuable and cannot be gathered easily.
The Great Protector only refines the Holy Pill every twenty years or so. Ever since the Burning Heaven Cauldron had a problem, he has never refined the Holy Pill again.
Now, after a hundred years, the Great Protector has finally started refining elixirs again.
Everyone was excited and rushed to Fentian Palace with great expectations and gathered outside the palace gate.
Even if you can't watch the Great Protector's alchemy techniques up close, being able to absorb some holy elixir spiritual energy outside the palace is a good thing that will benefit you immensely.
In just two quarters of an hour, more than a hundred people gathered in the square outside the gate of Fentian Palace.
Everyone looked at Fentian Palace with excitement, their faces filled with anticipation.
