Chapter 1095 1096: Human-faced Goat
At the bottom of the millennial cave.
Lin Fei sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands overlapping, palms up, placed on his dantian.
The airflow around him swirled like a gentle breeze, and under the operation of mysterious power, his whole body emitted a faint golden light, resembling the golden body of Buddha, exuding a sacred aura.
Lin Fei's mind was as calm as water, regulating his breath.
He seemed to forget that this was the millennial cave, and also seemed to forget about the anomalous fire of heaven and earth.
Like a cultivator, immersed in the realm of his own cultivation, oblivious and free.
Above him, a white flame hovered several meters away, radiating waves of heat storm—this was the Earth Core Anomalous Fire.
The Earth Core Anomalous Fire began to circle around Lin Fei, slowly flying, like a fiery butterfly, flitting about.
It seemed wary of Lin Fei, yet unable to resist the allure of the sacred aura from him.
After all, it was a fire nurtured by the spirit vein of the Pacific Ocean, instinctively drawn to the mysterious and sacred aura emanating from Lin Fei.
After flying around Lin Fei for over an hour, seeing that Lin Fei made no movements and sensing no danger, the Earth Core Anomalous Fire gently landed on Lin Fei's overlapping palms.
Lin Fei felt the anomalous fire land on his hand, a bone-gnawing heat immediately transmitted from his palm, carrying an extremely formidable aura.
However, Lin Fei did not panic and continued to focus on his cultivation.
The Earth Core Anomalous Fire resting on Lin Fei's palm saw that he meant it no harm, and it calmed down.
On Lin Fei's palm, the mysterious power emitted a faint golden light, quietly surging towards the Earth Core Anomalous Fire.
Gradually, the white Earth Core Anomalous Fire turned into a golden flame due to the mysterious power.
Lin Fei sensed the fusion of the Earth Core Anomalous Fire with his mysterious power, then slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the golden flame on his palm, Lin Fei smiled: finally, the Earth Core Anomalous Fire lay quietly in his hands.
Immediately, Lin Fei pondered a question: how should he tame the anomalous fire?
"To think that your cultivation power can actually merge with the energy of heaven and earth fire?" At this moment, an old voice suddenly echoed from the cave floor.
Lin Fei immediately scanned his surroundings, but apart from the cave walls, he found nothing.
Could it be an illusion?
"Do not doubt, I am right in front of you." Just as Lin Fei suspected an illusion, the old voice sounded again, as if it were right before him.
With a rumble, the air shook, and a one-meter circular aura lighted up on the ground.
This was a golden aura, its colors and patterns inside mesmerizing, exuding a sacred aura.
The aura slowly rotated, generating ripples in the cave bottom space.
In this aura, a goat could be seen.
Indeed, Lin Fei saw a goat.
A goat about the height of a man, covered in white fur, with golden horns and an aged human face, with a long white beard under its chin.
A human-faced goat?
Lin Fei was stunned and recalled that he had previously seen the silhouette of a goat using his X-ray Vision inside the cave; it seemed this was true.
And it was indeed a goat with golden horns and a human face.
Lin Fei wondered if the voice earlier was also spoken by this goat.
"Was it you speaking just now?" Lin Fei finally calmed down and asked the human-faced goat in the aura.
The human-faced goat nodded, opened its mouth, and spoke in human language: "Indeed, it was I speaking. I am the guiding goat; this anomalous fire is what I guard. It drifted from the Dark Ancient Sea, taking millennia to achieve the power of Saint Fire and to unleash the might of the sacred fire, alarming the ocean."
Saint Fire?
Drifted from the Dark Ancient Sea?
And this human-faced goat is guarding the Saint Fire?
Lin Fei was bewildered.
But it was certain that this human-faced goat was by no means an ordinary goat, possessing intelligence close to that of a spirit, not only speaking human language but seemingly knowing many unknown secrets.
Otherwise, it wouldn't know that the Earth Core Anomalous Fire came from the Dark Ancient Sea, took millennia, and achieved the power of the Saint Fire.
"Saint Fire, does this mean it has the power of a saint?" Lin Fei looked at the human-faced goat and asked.
The human-faced goat nodded: "Indeed, a Saint transcends the Legendary Realm as an ultimate existence. This Earth Core Sacred Fire has reached the first stage of the Saint Dao Sacred Realm, the power of a Saint."
"Since the Earth Core Sacred Fire can merge with your power, it proves that the Earth Core Sacred Fire has chosen you. But for it to truly merge with your power, a great fusion for ten days and nights is required. Only when the Saint Fire merges fully with your power will you truly wield the might of the Saint Fire."
Lin Fei looked at the human-faced goat and said firmly, "No matter how great the Saint Fire's power is, I will definitely tame it."
The human-faced goat, like pouring cold water, replied to Lin Fei, "Lin Fei, the pain of merging with the Earth Core Sacred Fire is no less than going through hell. Can you really endure it?
If you don't have the determination, not only will you fail to tame the Saint Fire, but you may also lose your life, and regret will come too late."
Lin Fei showed no fear; the Saint Fire, reaching the power of a Saint, would allow him to easily contend against many Legendary Ninth Layer experts.
So Lin Fei certainly wouldn't give up on the Saint Fire.
But Lin Fei hadn't told the human-faced goat his name; how did this goat know his name?
"Human-faced goat, do you know me?" Lin Fei couldn't help but ask the goat.
"Of course, I know you, and I know that your parents are Lin Yunxiao and Duan Mengyu," the human-faced goat said in a calm tone.
Though the human-faced goat's words were plain, to Lin Fei, they stirred a tempest in his heart.
This human-faced goat knew the names of his parents?
Lin Fei only knew that his parents had jumped to their deaths from Cloud-Entering Peak, and their bodies were nowhere to be found.
Finding his parents' remains had always been Lin Fei's deepest desire.
A strange thought suddenly arose in his mind: since this human-faced goat knew so much, could it also know where his parents' remains were?
Thinking of this, Lin Fei could barely contain himself and asked the human-faced goat, "Elder Shanyang, do you know where my parents are?"
However, the human-faced goat looked at Lin Fei and said, "To know where your parents are depends on whether you can fully merge with the Saint Fire; only then will I tell you." After saying this, the human-faced goat glowed with golden light, turning into a golden whirlwind, whirling in the aura.
With a swish, the whirlwind and aura disappeared without a trace, and the human-faced goat vanished as if it had never been there.
After recovering from his shock, Lin Fei's mind echoed with the words of the human-faced goat.
Thinking again of how the human-faced goat appeared and disappeared like a ghost, its cultivation and strength far surpassed Lin Fei's understanding. To him, this human-faced goat was likely a spiritual beast with the power of the Saint Dao realm.
This human-faced goat gave Lin Fei the impression of being a wise entity, knowing all things.
Moreover, before disappearing, the human-faced goat said that Lin Fei would be told the location of his parents if he fully merged with the Saint Fire.
Lin Fei's eyes shined brightly, looking at the Saint Fire in his hand, and secretly made a decision: to find his parents, even if he had to go through hell, he would merge with the Saint Fire.
