Chapter 17 Incense and Sacrifice
The Xuanguo Ancestral Temple was built in the style of the human ancestral temple. It is not luxurious as a whole, but it is simple and solemn, with a unique historical atmosphere.

At the beginning of every year, Marquis Xuanbo would bring his many sons and daughters, as well as the nobles of Xuan State, to pay homage here in order to declare his status as Marquis Xuanbo.

In the ancestral temple, there are statues of the three ancestors of the human race and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. On weekdays, Marquis Xuanbo would often arrange people to clean it.

The surname Han originated from the descendants of Emperor Huangdi. In the ancestral temple, the statue of Emperor Huangdi is placed in the center. In the center of the ancestral temple, there is a large tripod with a bright flame. The flame is not hot, but it reveals a warm, bright and peaceful atmosphere!
Flint fire!

This is the fire that the first Duke Xuan personally went to the ancestral temple of the human race to ask for when the State of Xuan was first established. It has never been extinguished for hundreds of years.

Perhaps, it is because the flint fire has been integrated with the destiny of the human race. When the population of Xuan State is prosperous, this flint fire will burn more vigorously.

On the contrary, if there is a year of famine and people are displaced, the light of the flint will dim a little!
"I am Han Yi of the human race, greetings to all the ancestors!" Han Yi asked the guards of the ancestral temple for a few incense sticks for sacrifice, and respectfully lit them. Then he bowed to the ancestors in the ancestral temple and said, "I am fortunate enough to embark on the path of cultivation. I would like to ask for a flint fire from the ancestral temple to protect my soul. I hope you will not blame me!"

In this era, although the three ancestors of the human race have long gone, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are still around. If one wants to obtain flint, one naturally has to worship them.

Incense!

It is said to be a unique method preserved from the ancient Shinto system, which can communicate with ghosts and gods, and can also light a lamp for those with great supernatural powers who are trapped in the catastrophe of losing themselves, and lead them back from endless time and space.

Of course, the probability of this happening is low!
Moreover, in order to attract such a being, the amount of incense required is enormous.

The fragrance penetrates the three realms, the smoke reaches the nine heavens, the fragrance reaches the Daluo Heaven of All Saints, and the fragrance reaches the Purple Mansion Immortals of Thousand True Beings.

The fragrance fills the void like auspicious mist, and the incense rises from the emperor's throne like smoke.

Once the furnace is lit, all truths will be revealed.

This is the way of incense!

It is said that the reason why Dong Wanggong was able to come back after his death was due to the incense!

As the chief male immortal canonized by the Taoist ancestor Hongjun himself, he has a unique fate and great luck. In addition, with the help of his good friend Qingdi Lingwei, who has spent a lot of effort to offer incense and sacrifice to him, it is possible for him to return from the calamity of losing Daluo.

It's a pity that the ancient sacred way declined and the sacrificial method was incomplete, so that the true spirit of Dong Wanggong was divided into three. Although each of them retained a part of the original memory, they are no longer the original Dong Wanggong!

However, there are still many people who delve into the mysteries of sacrifice and incense, and attempt to develop a method that can allow living beings who have fallen into the catastrophe of losing themselves to preserve their true spirits.

This is also the reason why various strange sacrificial methods, such as human sacrifice and blood sacrifice, are spread and prevalent in the prehistoric world.

For most practitioners, incense and burning candles are dispensable.

However, for those who practice the way of ghost immortals and the way of gods and immortals, it is the most top-notch nourishing elixir and is deeply loved by them.

Therefore, sacrifices are very popular in the prehistoric world!

Whether... within Kyushu or outside Kyushu... it's all like this!
After lighting a stick of incense to the many sages in the ancestral temple, Han Yi went straight to the ancient cauldron in the center of the hall without caring whether they agreed or not, and released a force of his soul, intending to refine a flint fire.

Han Yi had never heard of anyone integrating flint fire into the Samadhi True Fire before, but based on his deduction, the possibility of success was still very high.

Since, as a human fire, the flint fire can be integrated with the other innate divine fires in the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, making its power even greater...

That means... the compatibility of Flint Fire is still very wide!
"Refining!"

Perhaps it was because Han Yi had human blood, or perhaps it was because the incense stick just now had an effect, the process of refining the flint fire went very smoothly.

In just a moment, it turned into a bright spot of light and merged into Han Yi's soul!

"Luck!"

After refining a wisp of flint fire, Han Yi suddenly had an epiphany and understood the mystery of the flint fire that never went out, and also understood why it was called human fire.

This flint fire has merged with the destiny of the human race, giving rise to all sorts of mysteries, but in order for it to exert its power, it needs to consume the destiny of the user.

"No wonder!" Han Yi sighed and said, "I've never heard of a cultivator refining the essence of this flint fire!"

Luck is extremely important for practitioners. The luck of a practitioner is almost the same as the lifespan of a mortal. When your luck is exhausted, you will be plagued by bad luck, and if you are not careful, you will die. You can have a little luck, but you cannot have none at all.

Only the dead don't have a trace of luck!
If a cultivator's physical body is damaged or his soul is injured due to various accidents, and he wants to switch to the path of a ghost immortal, he will also need a considerable amount of luck.

otherwise……

It is impossible to pass the stage of physical transformation alone!
You know, the reason why Taoist Lu Ya in later generations lent the book of Seven Arrows to Jiang Ziya instead of practicing the technique himself was because he did not want to waste his own luck.

Even those with great supernatural powers cherish their reputation and value their luck, let alone other practitioners?

After refining the flint fire, Han Yi realized its magical uses, but he would not be able to activate the flint fire unscrupulously unless he became the Human King who could mobilize the destiny of the human race.

otherwise……

It’s best not to use it lightly!
The Human King is recognized by the human race and blessed by the destiny of heaven and humanity. Even if he has no cultivation at all, he can use the destiny of the human race to reach the point where he is invulnerable and difficult to be harmed by any magic.

Even if a saint attacked him, he would be attacked by the luck of the entire human race. This is the Human King!

If this was a feudal era without many people with great supernatural powers and without immortal gods, Han Yi would not dare to say the bold statement "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different species?"

but……

This is the wilderness!
Even saints have many concerns.

He is just an ant at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage, a bastard who has no right to inherit the title. He dares to do such a thing. It is guaranteed that he will become a rotten corpse in no time!
To put it bluntly, it’s still the background!

Without a background, even if you have amazing strength, others will have plenty of ways to kill you!

"Although the Fire of Sui cannot be used easily, it won't affect anything if it's used as a trump card!" After learning about the mysteries of the Fire of Sui, Han Yi couldn't help but comfort himself: "At least, within the territory of Jiuzhou, it can give me a lot of security and let me be less suppressed!"

Flint fire is the fire of civilization and also the fire of humanity. After refining the flint fire, even if he did not actively ignite it, the suppression of his magic power by the Jiuzhou barrier became much weaker.

As soon as a cultivator enters the human world, he will be corroded by the red dust atmosphere and suppressed by the Kyushu barrier. He will only be able to display only 10% of his cultivation.

However, Han Yi now clearly felt that the suppression of the Jiuzhou barrier had become much easier, allowing him to exert about 30% of his strength.

Thirty percent!

Don't look too much!

However, if he encounters a cultivator of the same realm, he can only use 10% of his cultivation, while you can use 30% of your cultivation, which can basically crush him!
Thinking of this, Han Yi immediately left the Xuan State Ancestral Temple and prepared to find a wasteland to give it a try.

……

boom!
In a valley, Han Yi activated the palm thunder, which blasted a huge rock into powder, turning it into dust that flew all over the sky.

Originally, the palm thunder he activated was only as thick as his wrist, but after he was promoted to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm, it became as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

Now, without some of the suppressive power of the Jiuzhou barrier, the palm thunder has turned into a giant green python that can easily destroy a huge rock.

Of course, if it were in those fairy mountains and blessed lands, without the influence of the Jiuzhou barrier and the mortal energy, the power of the palm thunder would probably be several times greater.

Practitioners are unreasonable!
Outside of Jiuzhou, cultivators who have reached the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm can already mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without any scruples to enhance their own magical powers.

Power...

Naturally, they are incomparable!

However, for Han Yi who is within the Kyushu barrier, being able to exert 30% of his strength is already a great opportunity!
At least……

Once a conflict comes into play with other practitioners, he can gain a great advantage.

"Enlightenment!"

Moreover, flint fire is the fire of civilization and the light of wisdom. After refining the flint fire, Han Yi felt that the thoughts in his mind had become much clearer!
In addition, if he is willing to consume his own luck, he can also temporarily improve his understanding and help himself better comprehend the Tao and magical powers.

Of course, luck is extremely precious, so he will not use it easily.

unless……

He can obtain a huge amount of luck and merit!
In addition to reducing the suppression of the Jiuzhou barrier on practitioners and temporarily improving their understanding, the power of flint fire is also extremely considerable.

In Han Yi's opinion, it is not inferior to those famous innate spiritual fires.

only……

When using flint, it will also consume the user's luck.

Moreover, the more luck is consumed and invested, the more powerful the flint fire will be, with almost no upper limit.

"What luck!"

Feeling the mysteries of flint fire, Han Yi couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

This flint fire seemed to be specially prepared for the Human King. If anyone else wanted to use it, they would have to pay a huge price.

No wonder!
Although it has so many magical aspects, I have never heard of any ancient cultivator who has ever refined flint fire!

Even saints only use it as a flame for refining weapons!
