lín xuān pán xī zuò zài dòng fǔ de liàn gōng shì lǐ ， shuāng móu jǐn bì ， hún shēn wǔ cǎi guāng yùn liú zhuǎn bù yǐ ， tā de shuāng shǒu píng fàng yú shuāng xī ， bù shí biàn huàn yí gè gè qí miào de fǎ yìn 。[]
林轩盘膝坐在洞府的练功室里，双眸紧闭，浑身五彩光晕流转不已，他的双手平放于双膝，不时变幻一个个奇妙的法印。[]
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the training room of his cave dwelling, his eyes tightly shut. Auras of various colors swirled around him as he placed his hands on his knees and occasionally formed intricate hand seals.
ér zài tā de xiōng kǒu ， zé piāo fú zhe yī jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn 。 shēn suì bì lǜ ， fǎng fú yōng yǒu wú jìn mó lì 。
而在他的胸口，则漂浮着一鸡蛋大小的火焰。深邃碧绿，仿佛拥有无尽魔力。
In front of his chest floated a small flame about the size of an egg. Deep green and seemingly brimming with boundless magical power.
bú yòng shuō ， zhèng shì bì huàn yōu huǒ ， rán ér yǔ yǐ qián bù tóng ， zài zhè mó yán zhī zhōng ， jū rán hái yǒu yī mǔ zhǐ dà xiǎo de mí nǐ jiāo lóng 。
不用说，正是碧幻幽火，然而与以前不同，在这魔炎之中，居然还有一拇指大小的迷你蛟龙。
Without saying anything, it was indeed the Green Illusion Inferno. But unlike before, within this inferno, there was also a tiny dragon, roughly the size of a thumb, wriggling around as if trying to break free from the flame's constraints.
bù tíng yóu dòng ， sì hū xiǎng yào chōng pò yōu huǒ de jìn gù 。
不停游动，似乎想要冲破幽火的禁锢。
However, that wasn't easy; each attempt was met with a rebound back into the flames. It was precisely because of this little dragon that the Green Illusion Inferno became extremely unstable. Therefore, Lin Xuan didn't dare use this divine technique against the Pill Master when facing him.
rán ér nǎ yǒu nà me qīng sōng ， měi yī cì jiē bèi fǎn tán huí qù ， dàn yě zhèng yīn wèi zhè jiāo lóng ， ràng bì huàn yōu huǒ biàn dé bù wěn dìng yǐ jí ， suǒ yǐ miàn duì bǎi chóng zhēn rén de shí hòu ， lín xuān dōu bù gǎn yòng cǐ shén tōng kè dí 。
然而哪有那么轻松，每一次皆被反弹回去，但也正因为这蛟龙，让碧幻幽火变得不稳定以极，所以面对百虫真人的时候，林轩都不敢用此神通克敌。
Now having some free time, he couldn’t ignore this隐患. Taking a deep breath, the surrounding primordial energy surged towards his body.
rú jīn yǒu le xián xiá shí jiān ， zhè ge yǐn huàn zì rán bù néng fàng rèn bù guǎn ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， sì zhōu de tiān dì yuán qì fēng kuáng de xiàng zhe tā de shēn tǐ yǒng qù 。
如今有了闲暇时间，这个隐患自然不能放任不管，林轩深深呼吸，四周的天地元气疯狂的向着他的身体涌去。
"Quickly!"
“ jí !”
“疾!”
Lin Xuan pointed at the flame with one finger, and it suddenly expanded. He intended to first refine this dragon soul; after all, it was the essence of a tribulation fire.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng zhǐ diǎn chū ， hū de yī xià ， bì huàn yōu huǒ měng rán zhǎng dà ， lín xuān zhǔn bèi xiān jiāng zhè jiāo hún liàn huà ， bì jìng yě shì jié huǒ de jīng huá 。
林轩一指向黹点出，呼的一下，碧幻幽火猛然涨大，林轩准备先将这蛟魂炼化，毕竟也是劫火的精华。
Without realizing it, Lin Xuan had been in the seclusion room for over a month since his visit to the Drifting Cloud Pavilion. He still sat cross-legged, but the color of the flame before him seemed quite different now. Previously, the Green Illusion Inferno was incredibly deep and profound, but now it appeared rather deceptive.
bì guān wú suì yuè ， bù zhī bù jué ， lín xuān lái dào bài xuān gé ， yǐ jīng yí yuè yǒu yú 。 cǐ shí tā yī jiù pán xī ér zuò ， rán ér yǎn qián huǒ yàn de yán sè què biàn dé bù tài yī yàng le 。 yǐ qián bì huàn yōu huǒ shēn suì yǐ jí ， rú jīn què shí fēn guǐ qì 。
闭关无岁月，不知不觉，林轩来到拜轩阁，已经一月有余。此时他依旧盘膝而坐，然而眼前火焰的颜色却变得不太一样了。以前碧幻幽火深邃以极，如今却十分诡弃。
The outer layer remained deep green, even darker than before, while slightly inside, it transformed into a brilliant blue, resembling the ice that never thawed for ten thousand years.
huǒ yàn de zuì wài céng yī jiù bì lǜ ， yán sè shèn zhì bǐ yǐ qián hái yào gēng shēn yī xiē ， ér shāo lǐ ， què huà wèi yī piàn zhàn lán zhī sè ， kàn shàng qù yǔ nà wàn nián bù huà de hán bīng xiāng sì yǐ jí 。
火焰的最外层依旧碧绿，颜色甚至比以前还要更深一些，而稍里，却化为一片湛蓝之色，看上去与那万年不化的寒冰相似以极。
At the very center, however, it turned grayish and unremarkable, giving off an eerie silence. This innermost part contained the corrosive power of extreme coldness.
ér zài zuì lǐ céng ， què shì huī méng méng de ， háo bù qǐ yǎn ， què ràng rén gǎn jué yī piàn sǐ jì 。 lǐ miàn yùn hán de nǎi shì yīn hán de fǔ shí zhī lì 。
而在最里层，却是灰蒙蒙的，毫不起眼，却让人感觉一片死寂。里面蕴含的乃是阴寒的腐蚀之力。
To be honest, this change was quite similar to the three-colored Xuan Ice Fire wielded by Tian Xiaojian, just with different colors.
píng xīn lái shuō ， yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn de sān sè xuán bīng huǒ pǒ yǒu xiāng sì zhī chù ， zhǐ bù guò yán sè jiǒng yì bà le 。
平心来说，与田小剑的三色玄冰火颇有相似之处，只不过颜色迥异罢了。
The outer green inherited the original nature of the Green Illusion Inferno—extremely toxic. The middle blue represented extremely cold flames. And the inner grayish-white color symbolized death energy.
zuì wài céng de lǜ ， jì chéng le bì huàn yōu huǒ běn lái de xìng zhì ， nǎi tiān xià jué dú 。 zhōng jiān de zhàn lán ， zé dài biǎo jí hán zhī huǒ 。 ér lǐ miàn de huī bái zhī sè ， zé shì sǐ qì 。
最外层的绿，继承了碧幻幽火本来的性质，乃天下绝毒。中间的湛蓝，则代表极寒之火。而里面的灰白之色，则是死气。
Looking at the flame before him, Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of surprise. He hadn't anticipated this change himself. However, upon careful consideration, it wasn’t entirely strange.
kàn zhe piāo fú zài shēn qián de huǒ yàn ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yě yǐn yǐn shǎn guò jīng yà zhī sè ， yào zhī dào ， zhè ge biàn huà biàn shì tā zì jǐ ， shì xiān yě bù céng xiǎng dào de 。
看着漂浮在身前的火焰，林轩脸上也隐隐闪过惊讶之色，要知道，这个变化便是他自己，事先也不曾想到的。
After all, in Cloud Ridge Mountain, the Green Illusion Inferno had already consumed tribulation fire essence. During the battle on Immortal Isle, he had also taken away the corpse flames that the Pure Source Corpse King had cultivated for over ten thousand years. This time, by refining the dragon soul, he accumulated enough to trigger a fundamental change.
dāng rán zǐ xì sī liáng ， yě méi yǒu zuò me qí guài zhī chù 。
当然仔细思量，也没有作么奇怪之处。
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Xuan stretched out his hand, and the three-colored flame gently landed on his palm.
yào zhī dào zài yún lǐng shān de shí hòu ， bì huàn yōu huǒ jiù tūn shì le jié huǒ jīng huá ， ér yíng zhōu dǎo yī yì ， yòu jiāng qīng yuán shī wáng kǔ xiū wàn yú nián de shī yán shōu qù ， zhè yī cì ， zài jiāng jiāo hún liàn huà ， jī shǎo chéng duō ， zhōng yú yǐn le běn zhì dì biàn huà 。
要知道在云岭山的时候，碧幻幽火就吞噬了劫火精华，而瀛洲岛一役，又将清源尸王苦修万余年的尸炎收去，这一次，再将蛟魂炼化，积少成多，终于引了本质的变化。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes, sensing the power surging within, seemingly containing some kind of rule. However, as an early-stage Separation Realm cultivator, he was still unclear about its intricacies.
lüè yī chí yí ， lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， nà sān sè huǒ yàn qīng qīng de luò zài le tā de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn 。
略一迟疑，林轩伸出手来，那三色火焰轻轻的落在了他的掌心里面。
But the power of this flame was clearly far greater than before. With a flick of his hand, a bright light shone, and a flying knife-shaped treasure appeared in front of him.
lín cǎo bo bì shàng shuāng móu ， gǎn yìng zhe lǐ miàn de fǎ lì yǒng dòng ， sì hū yùn hán zhe mǒu zhǒng fǎ zé ， zhǐ bù guò zì jǐ cái jìn jiē lí hé ， duì yú qí zhōng de xuán gān &#o39; zhī chù ， hái bù tài qīng chǔ 。
林草卜闭上双眸，感应着里面的法力涌动，似乎蕴含着某种法则，只不过自己才进阶离合，对于其中的玄苷&#o39;之处，还不太清楚。
Lin Xuan’s wealth was immense; there were hundreds of treasures in his storage bag. He simply took one out for experimentation.
dàn zhè huǒ yàn de wēi lì xiǎn rán yuǎn fēi yǐ qián kě bǐ de 。 shēn shǒu yī pāi ， zhǐ jiàn líng máng yào mù ， yī fēi dāo xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo chū xiàn zài yǎn qián le 。
但这火焰的威力显然远非以前可比的。伸手一拍，只见灵芒耀目，一飞刀形状的法宝出现在眼前了。
"Quickly."
lín xuān shēn jiā fēng hòu yǐ jí ， chǔ wù dài zhōng de fǎ bǎo zì rán shì shù yǐ bǎi jì ， tā xiàn zài suí biàn ná chū yī yàng lái zuò shí yàn ér yǐ 。
林轩身家丰厚以极，储物袋中的法宝自然是数以百计，他现在随便拿出一样来做实验而已。
He cast the levitation technique, and the flying knife instantly hovered three feet away from his body.
“ jí 。”
“疾。”
Then, with a flick of his right hand, the three-colored flame transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the flying knife.
lín xuān yī dào piāo fú shù dǎ chū ， nà fēi dāo dùn shí xuán fú zài shēn qián sān chǐ zhī chù 。
林轩一道漂浮术打出，那飞刀顿时悬浮在身前三尺之处。
Upon contact, a sizzling sound filled his ears. The flying knife's surface was already covered in a thin layer of ice.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu shǒu yī dǒu ， nà sān sè huǒ yàn dùn shí huà wèi yī dào liú guāng xiàng fēi dāo pū qù le 。
随后林轩右手一抖，那三色火焰顿时化为一道流光像飞刀扑去了。
The extreme coldness froze it, but this was just the beginning. Soon, the ice turned black—poison—and then a grayish aura rose, dissolving both the ice and the flying knife into nothingness.
liǎng zhě xiāng chù ， cī lā yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn lán máng shǎn guò ， fēi dāo biǎo miàn yǐ jīng chū xiàn yī céng báo báo de hán bīng le 。
两者相触，刺啦一声传入耳朵，只见蓝芒闪过，飞刀表面已经出现一层薄薄的寒冰了。
This…
jí hán zhī yàn jiāng qí dòng zhù ， rán ér zhè bù guò shì kāi shǐ bà le ， jǐn jiē zhe ， hán bīng huà wèi hēi sè ， nà shì jù dú ， suí hòu yī dào huī méng méng de guāng yùn téng shēng ér qǐ ， hán bīng yǔ fēi dāo tóng shí huà wèi le xū wú ， bèi chè dǐ róng jiě diào le 。
极寒之焰将其冻住，然而这不过是开始罢了，紧接着，寒冰化为黑色，那是剧毒，随后一道灰蒙蒙的光晕腾升而起，寒冰与飞刀同时化为了虚无，被彻底溶解掉了。
Lin Xuan widened his eyes, even he was shocked by the flame's terrifying power. Even for an Incarnation Realm cultivator, this flying knife would be quite formidable.
zhè …···，
这…···，
Forged from ten-thousand-year-old diamond sand, it was incredibly hard, almost invulnerable to water and fire. Yet, it had been so easily destroyed.
lín xuān dèng dà le shuāng mù ， jí shǐ shì tā zì jǐ ， yě bèi zhè huǒ yàn kě pà wēi néng gěi xià le yī tiào ， yào zhī dào jí biàn duì yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě lái shuō ， zhè fēi dāo yě shì yī bù cuò de gǔ bǎo 。
林轩瞪大了双目，即使是他自己，也被这火焰可怕威能给吓了一跳，要知道即便对元婴期修仙者来说，这飞刀也是一不错的古宝。
If it were still the Green Illusion Inferno of old, it wouldn’t have such power.
nǎi shì yòng wàn nián jīn gāng shā duàn zào ， jiān yìng yǐ jí ， jī hū yǐ dào le shuǐ huǒ bù qīn de jìng dì ， jū rán rú cǐ qīng yì de bèi huǐ qù 。
乃是用万年金刚砂锻造，坚硬以极，几乎已到了水火不侵的境地，居然如此轻易的被毁去。
Lin Xuan had thought that refining the dragon soul would increase the flame’s potency slightly, but he never expected it to reach such an incredible level.
rú guǒ huàn zuò yǐ qián de bì huàn yōu huǒ ， jué duì shì méi yǒu zhè ge wēi lì 。
如果换做以前的碧幻幽火，绝对是没有这个威力。
It was truly a pleasant surprise. With his mind moving, the flame returned to his palm.
lín xuān suī rán yě xiǎng guò ， liàn huà jiāo hún hòu bì huàn yōu huǒ de wēi néng huì zēng jiā shǎo xǔ ， dàn wàn wàn méi xiǎng dào huì dào dá rú cǐ bù kě sī yì de jìng dì 。
林轩虽然也想过，炼化蛟魂后碧幻幽火的威能会增加少许，但万万没想到会到达如此不可思议的境地。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and first quietly felt for some time before raising his hand. The flames swirled around and eventually turned back into its original green hue.
hái zhēn shì yì wài zhī xǐ 。 lín xuān shén niàn huī dòng ， nà huǒ yàn chóng xīn fēi dào le zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
还真是意外之喜。林轩神念徽动，那火焰重新飞到了掌心之中。
Reverting to Green Illusion Inferno, but with even more potent toxins. However, Lin Xuan wasn’t satisfied yet; he continued trying to control this new inferno.
lín xuān bì shàng shuāng mù ， xiān jìng jìng gǎn shòu le yī huì er ， jiē zhe yī tái shǒu ， nà huǒ yàn yī zhèn liú zhuǎn zhī hòu ， jū rán chóng xīn biàn chéng le bì yōu yōu de yán sè 。
林轩闭上双目，先静静感受了一会儿，接着一抬手，那火焰一阵流转之后，居然重新变成了碧幽幽的颜色。
After about half an hour of effort, the flame completely transformed into a vast blue sea—extremely cold flames.
huán yuán chéng bì huàn yōu huǒ ， zhǐ bù guò dú sù bǐ yǐ qián gèng shèng yī chóu 。 dàn lín xuān bìng méi yǒu shàn bà gān xiū ， tā jì xù cháng shì zhe cāo kòng zhè cì xīn de mó huǒ 。
还原成碧幻幽火，只不过毒素比以前更胜一筹。但林轩并没有善罢甘休，他继续尝试着操控这次新的魔火。
"Good, good." Lin Xuan nodded approvingly and closed his eyes again.
jīng guò yuē xiǎo bàn gè shí chén de nǔ lì zhī hòu ， huǒ yàn wán quán biàn chéng le dà hǎi yì bān de lán sè ， bú yòng shuō ， fǎn huí shì jí hán zhī yàn le 。
经过约小半个时辰的努力之后，火焰完全变成了大海一般的蓝色，不用说，返回是极寒之焰了。
Three days later, Lin Xuan still sat in the training room. After some experimentation, he could now freely switch between toxic flames and extremely cold ones.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò 。” lín xuān mǎn yì de diǎn diǎn tóu ， shǒu yī dǒu ， chóng xīn jiāng shuāng mù gěi bì
“不错，不错。”林轩满意的点点头，手一抖，重新将双目给闭
However, no matter how much he tried, the flame couldn’t fully transform into that innermost grayish hue.
shàng le 。
上了。
It seemed this attribute was the most powerful, but his current realm wasn't enough to achieve complete transformation.
sān tiān yǐ hòu ， lín xuān yī jiù zuò zài liàn gōng fáng ， jīng guò yī fān shì yàn mō suǒ ， tā yǐ jīng néng gòu zài dú yàn yǔ jí hán zhī huǒ jiān zì yóu zhuǎn huàn le 。
三天以后，林轩依旧坐在练功房，经过一番试验摸索，他已经能够在毒焰与极寒之火间自由转换了。
But one should be content with what they have. Lin Xuan was satisfied with his current situation.
rán ér bù lùn tā zěn me cháng shì ， huǒ yàn dōu bù néng wán quán biàn chéng zuì lǐ céng nà huī méng méng de yán sè 。
然而不论他怎么尝试，火焰都不能完全变成最里层那灰蒙蒙的颜色。
Unfortunately, there weren’t many of these flames left. If he had more, he would feel confident enough to challenge Wangting Tower.
kàn lái zhè zhǒng shǔ xìng cái shì zuì lì hài de ， zhǐ bù guò zì jǐ xiàn zài jìng jiè bù zú ， suǒ yǐ bù néng zuò dào wán quán zhuǎn huà chéng gōng 。
看来这种属性才是最厉害的，只不过自己现在境界不足，所以不能做到完全转化成功。
Originally, the Green Illusion Inferno had grown to the size of a basin over the years but was now reduced to just a fist-sized scale after compression and refinement.
bù guò rén guì zài zhī zú ， rú jīn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng lín xuān jiù yǐ jīng hěn mǎn yì le 。
不过人贵在知足，如今这种情况林轩就已经很满意了。
Of course, this was good; quality mattered more than quantity. But it also showed how difficult it was to cultivate this flame.
kě xī zhè zhǒng huǒ yàn shù liàng dà shǎo le ， rú guǒ zài duō yī xiē de huà ， jiù suàn duì shàng wàng tíng
可惜这种火焰数量大少了，如果再多一些的话，就算对上望亭
"Master, I think we should give him a new name since he has changed due to consuming tribulation fire. Have you thought about renaming him?" Mo Er’s voice entered his ears. They shared the same cave dwelling, and Lin Xuan's powerful flames had naturally woken up the little girl.
lóu ， lín xuān yě yǒu xìn xīn hé tā zhēng dòu 。
楼，林轩也有信心和他争斗。
"Hmm, let's call him Illusion Soul Tribulation Fire from now on!" Lin Xuan nodded. Even without Mo Er saying it, he was considering a name change. The two were indeed in sync, thinking of the same thing.
yuán běn bì huàn yōu huǒ zhè xiē nián rì jī yuè lěi ， yǐ jīng yǒu liǎn pén dà ， kě zhè cì yā suō níng liàn xià ， què zhǐ shèng xià yí gè quán tou de guī mó 。
原本碧幻幽火这些年日积月累，已经有脸盆大，可这次压缩凝炼下，却只剩下一个拳头的规模。
"Illusion Soul Tribulation Fire? Hmm, that’s a good name; it sounds nice and fits the atmosphere well. But it's not grand enough. Consuming tribulation fire doesn’t necessarily mean 'Tribulation Fire.' Let’s call him Illusion Soul Heavenly Fire," Mo Er said with a charming smile.
dāng rán ， zhè shì hǎo shì ， guì jīng bù guì duō ， bù guò yě yóu cǐ kě jiàn ， xiū liàn zhè ge huǒ yàn de nán dù 。
当然，这是好事，贵精不贵多，不过也由此可见，修炼这个火焰的难度。
"Illusion Soul Heavenly Fire?"
“ shào yé ， xiǎo bì jué de ， rú jīn zài jiào tā bì huàn yōu huǒ bù tài shì hé ， nǐ yǒu méi yǒu xiǎng guò ， wèi qí gǎi gè míng zì ne ？” yuè ér de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎng rén běn lái jiù zhù de yí gè dòng fǔ ， lín xuān xiū liàn de zhè huǒ yàn wēi néng tài dà ， zì rán jiāng xiǎo yā tou yě jīng dòng le a !
“少爷，小婢觉得，如今再叫他碧幻幽火不太适合，你有没有想过，为其改个名字呢？”月儿的声音传入耳朵，两人本来就住的一个洞府，林轩修炼的这火焰威能太大，自然将小丫头也惊动了啊!
Lin Xuan was surprised but upon reflection, agreed that it sounded better. The important thing was that his beloved Mo Er liked it; he could easily go along with her wishes on such trivial matters.
“ ń ， tā shì yīn wèi tūn shì le yāo jié zhī huǒ cái gǎi biàn de ， gān cuì yǐ hòu jiù jiào tā huàn líng jié huǒ ba !” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， qí shí yuè ér bù shuō ， tā yě yǒu gǎi míng de dǎ suàn le ， liǎng rén guǒ rán xīn yǒu líng xī ， xiǎng dào le yì qǐ 。
“嗯，他是因为吞噬了夭劫之火才改变的，干脆以后就叫他幻灵劫火吧!”林轩点了点头，其实月儿不说，他也有改名的打算了，两人果然心有灵犀，想到了一起。
"Alright, from now on, this divine flame will be called Illusion Soul Heavenly Fire." Lin Xuan said firmly. Before the words left his mouth, he noticed a strange look on Mo Er’s face: "Mo Er, what's wrong?"
“ huàn líng jié huǒ ， ń ， zhè ge míng zì bù cuò ， jì hǎo tīng ， ér qiě yě fú hé yì jìng ， bù guò jiù shì bù gòu dà qì ， tūn shì le tiān jié ， yě bù yí dìng jiào jié huǒ ， gān cuì gǎi yí gè zì ， jiào huàn líng tiān huǒ 。” yuè ér yǐ shǒu zhī hé ， qiǎo xiào qiàn xī de kāi kǒu le 。
“幻灵劫火，嗯，这个名字不错，既好听，而且也符合意境，不过就是不够大气，吞噬了天劫，也不一定叫劫火，干脆改一个字，叫幻灵天火。”月儿以手支颌，巧笑倩兮的开口了。
"Impressive divine technique, Master. I also want to learn it," Mo Er blushed and admitted shyly.
“ huàn líng tiān huǒ ?”
“幻灵天火?”
Lin Xuan added another chapter today; there would be one more tonight. Please support with your recommended votes, thank you for all the fellow cultivators!
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the training room of his cave dwelling, his eyes tightly shut. Auras of various colors swirled around him as he placed his hands on his knees and occasionally formed intricate hand seals.
In front of his chest floated a small flame about the size of an egg. Deep green and seemingly brimming with boundless magical power.
Without saying anything, it was indeed the Green Illusion Inferno. But unlike before, within this inferno, there was also a tiny dragon, roughly the size of a thumb, wriggling around as if trying to break free from the flame's constraints.
However, that wasn't easy; each attempt was met with a rebound back into the flames. It was precisely because of this little dragon that the Green Illusion Inferno became extremely unstable. Therefore, Lin Xuan didn't dare use this divine technique against the Pill Master when facing him.

At the very center, however, it turned grayish and unremarkable, giving off an eerie silence. This innermost part contained the corrosive power of extreme coldness.
To be honest, this change was quite similar to the three-colored Xuan Ice Fire wielded by Tian Xiaojian, just with different colors.

"Hmm, let's call him Illusion Soul Tribulation Fire from now on!" Lin Xuan nodded. Even without Mo Er saying it, he was considering a name change. The two were indeed in sync, thinking of the same thing.
"Illusion Soul Tribulation Fire? Hmm, that’s a good name; it sounds nice and fits the atmosphere well. But it's not grand enough. Consuming tribulation fire doesn’t necessarily mean 'Tribulation Fire.' Let’s call him Illusion Soul Heavenly Fire," Mo Er said with a charming smile.
"Illusion Soul Heavenly Fire?"
Lin Xuan was surprised but upon reflection, agreed that it sounded better. The important thing was that his beloved Mo Er liked it; he could easily go along with her wishes on such trivial matters.
"Alright, from now on, this divine flame will be called Illusion Soul Heavenly Fire." Lin Xuan said firmly. Before the words left his mouth, he noticed a strange look on Mo Er’s face: "Mo Er, what's wrong?"
"Impressive divine technique, Master. I also want to learn it," Mo Er blushed and admitted shyly.
