After Favorability Is Maxed

298 Mythical Flame Sect

It was common knowledge that one was qualified to learn magic after 25 years of being single, and one could become a mage in 30 years. However, it was only limited to the fire element, and the level was proportional to one’s age. The longer one was single, the more powerful the fireball one could create.

Perhaps it had something to do with hand speed.

Although Liu Yuan was only 19 years old before he transmigrated, and he had not celebrated his birthday after transmigrating, and he had quickly left his single life in less than a month — he still felt the same way when he was single!

Back in the game Shangyang, there were some sects that were extremely popular. Other than the cool and popular Jade Mirage Sect, there was the Xiangsi Sect, which was famous for love. There was another sect whose players were the most united and the most troublesome, and that was the Mythical Flame Sect.

In the background setting, the founder of the Mythical Flame Sect was called Feng Feifeng. He was a man who had been hurt by love.

However, there were countless people who were hurt by love, and this man was the only one among them. In his thousand years of cultivation, he had been abandoned and betrayed by women he liked more than six hundred times. This included lovers, Dao companions, and other relationships.

It was said that he was heartbroken every time and he turned to practice and improved himself. He studied like a madman, especially in the area of fire-type mantras. He also received some opportunities from the Vermillion Bird’s lineage and finally reached the Crossing Calamity stage with an average aptitude, and founded the Mythical Flame Sect.

‘Mythical Flame’ didn’t mean staying away from the fire. This ‘myth’ referred to the ‘myth’ position in the Eight Trigrams, which was the South. The South was the position of the sun at noon, which belonged to yang. Among the Four Symbols, the South belonged to the third and fourth fire, which was the protection of the Vermilion Bird.

Therefore, in the Eight Trigrams, myth position was fire, which was mythical fire.

The Mythical Flame Sect and the Vermilion Bird lineage were closely related. Even the sect was built on the Nirvana land of a Phoenix of the previous generation.

Before a Phoenix underwent Nirvana, it would find a safe place for itself and build a Secret Realm that was isolated from the world. It would also set up the ‘Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Array’ formation to keep itself absolutely safe during the process of Nirvana. This had been done for generations.

After the Phoenix’s Nirvana was completed and it came out of the Secret Realm, the abandoned Nirvana Secret Realm was annihilated automatically. The place where it was turned into ruins. At the same time, a large amount of fire-type spiritual energy gathered and it became a heaven for fire-type Dao technique cultivators.

However, ordinary fire cultivators could not withstand the poison of the Phoenix Fire at all. Instead, they would be burned by the fire. There was only one sect in the world that could use the Phoenix Fire to cultivate by setting up an array and using their own powerful skills to resist the damage of the fire.

These weren’t the main reasons why this sect was the most popular sect.

The most attractive thing about the Mythical Flame Sect was…

This sect was meant for the players and even NPCs who were in love with each other in the game… There was a special attack.

Although it only added 10% magic damage and continuous burning damage, it was very interesting to those who were interested.

By the way, Feng Feifeng had set two rules for the Mythical Flame Sect that stated that the sect members were not allowed to marry for life and that anyone who toyed with their relationships would be killed without mercy.

From this, the grief and indignation in his heart could be seen…

However, sect rules were just sect rules. As time passed, there would be some deviation when the sect implemented them. On Mythical Flame Sect’s side, they were biased and strict. Now, the entire sect’s atmosphere was very unfriendly towards couples, to the extent that they were like fire and water with the Xiangsi Sect next door.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Xiangsi Sect was also one of the six sects and had the same number of supporters, Mythical Flame Sect might have directly attacked them.

As a former single dog, especially before he had officially started his career as a conquering strategist, Liu Yuan was quite interested in this sect. Therefore, he also learned the cultivation method of this sect, but he could not go deeper.

“Mmm… I remember that during the Tidewatching and Sword-Listening event, one of the five people who shared a room with Ling Yu was from the Mythical Flame Sect. His name should be Wei Feiyan, and he was also ranked in the top 20 of the Singing Sword Ranking. He should have returned to the sect by now.”

Liu Yuan touched his chin and jumped down from the tree while hiding his figure. He swaggered through the Mythical Flame Sect’s mountain-protecting formation.

The red veined patterns on the boundary stone flashed past, followed by a bright red line on the ground. It could be vaguely seen that it was made up of tiny runes. When Liu Yuan stepped over it, he felt the kindling of the Emerald Heart in his Dantian jump for a moment. A slight burning sensation flashed and disappeared. Then, the boundary stone and the flame in his body calmed down.

The most important point of the Mythical Flame Sect’s cultivation technique was to nurture one’s own Natal Flame in the Dantian.

The most basic and most common one was the Emerald Fire of the core.

As for the other gaudy and messy fires, they would have to rely on their own luck and the gifts given by the sect.

“Feng Feifeng and Wei Feiyan, these names seem to be related. Could she also be a quest NPC?”

“In the past, I didn’t have time to pay much attention to the Mythical Flame Sect, but because I kept showing off my cards, I was wanted by the players of Mythical Flame Sect. Sigh, as single dogs, how could you point your sword at me just because I have some wives? This doesn’t make sense at all. No wonder everyone wants to kill the Mythical Flame Sect. This group of unreasonable people can’t distinguish between friend and foe…”

Liu Yuan mumbled to himself as he started to search for his way in the Mythical Flame Sect based on his impression of the sect.

He was now heading towards the forbidden area of the Mythical Flame Sect, the place where the previous Phoenix was reborn.

‘Xiyan Valley’.

Although he did not have a deep impression of Mythical Flame Sect, he had a general understanding of the sect’s internal structure, so it was not difficult to find it.

As mentioned before, there were many fake nests in the Nirvana Secret Realm, and the real Phoenix nest was randomly generated. Of course, the game could not really let you choose from hundreds of fake Secret Realms.

This method was exactly what Yuan Hongli and the others were doing. It was the stupidest method, and it was basically impossible to achieve.

The game simplified it to about five random points. Some of the previous quests would give clues and signs of the real nest, such as the appearance of some birds that were not usually noticed in the environment.

These birds were just ordinary birds, and the Immortal cultivators would not pay any attention to them at all. However, these ordinary birds were the first to sense the awakening of the Phoenix. It was just that they could not speak and had low intelligence, so they could only worship their ‘Gods’ at the closest distance.

This was the so-called ‘Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix’.

What Liu Yuan had ordered the people of Bi Luo Mansion to search for was to see if these unusual things had happened and where they had happened.

He was not worried that the people of Bi Luo Mansion would find the trick to stop the Phoenix from reincarnating in advance, because he was only following the reminder given in the game. He did not know when the next Phoenix’s reincarnation would happen, and he did not know what kind of bird the Phoenix would be.

However, the most important thing now was to find a way to enter the forbidden area. The forbidden area of the Mythical Flame Sect was heavily guarded and it was not an easy task to enter…

The entire structure of the Mythical Flame Sect was like a valley with cliffs on both side. In the middle was a large martial arts practice field, surrounded by large-scale buildings built against the mountain. The back of the mountain was the forbidden area.

Liu Yuan went around to the left side of the rooms that belonged to the disciples of the Mythical Flame Sect. The long corridor was twisted and turned. It was made of charred thunderstruck wood, which was specially made to prevent fire. The shadow of the Wutong Tree outside was cast to the floor, and with the wind chimes swaying on the eaves, the speckled light spots were very beautiful.

The people walking in and out of this place were all female disciples in green robes. Their hair was white and their fragrance wafted through the air. Moreover, because of the strict rules of the sect, they had never been intimate with a man or a woman, so they had a natural sense of innocence and coldness, which was completely opposite to the attribute of the cultivation technique they cultivated.

Only then did Liu Yuan remember that the male and female disciples of the Mythical Flame Sect lived on the two sides of the ‘valley’.

He had walked into the girls ‘dormitory.

He had only taken a few steps when he saw a few women walking out of a room in the distance. The one at the forefront was Wei Feiyan, who had participated in the City of Ten Thousand Swords’ Singing Sword conference with him.

“Senior Sister Wei, I heard that the Sect Master is going to open the forbidden area for the Fire Awarding Ceremony this time and let the best of the inner disciples enter to choose their second Natal Flame. Is that true?”

Wei Feiyan was dressed in a green robe. She was tall and had a pretty face but a cold and stern expression. She nodded and said lightly, “The Sect Master does have such a plan.”
