In the Land of Burning Heaven, everyone cultivates fire.

The primordial flames are innate, with millions of varieties. However, based on the quality of the flames, they can be divided into three ranks: Heaven, Earth, and Human.

As one grows older, one can cultivate the lowest level of human fire in their dantian. With the presence of human fire, one can control flames and exert a force equivalent to a thousand jun, thus becoming a martial artist.

Human fire can continuously improve with cultivation, reaching the highest quality, and it can then devour natural fire. Natural fire is also called earth fire.

And if a martial artist cultivates Earth Fire to the extreme, they can refine Heaven Fire!

A cultivator of Heavenly Fire, even if their cultivation realm is low, possesses unparalleled might with every gesture. They can incinerate rivers and boil seas, unleashing crimson flames for thousands of miles. They are known as Heavenly Warriors!

"The Great Wilderness Dynasty, the ancient family branch? I was actually reborn a hundred years later?"

Gu Xuan opened his eyes, a flash of surprise crossing them. He, Dan Huang Gu Xuan, had fallen in battle a hundred years ago, yet he hadn't expected to awaken here, inhabiting a body that shared his name with a teenager several years his junior.

More bizarrely, this ancient family was actually his family from his past life. It's just that the ancient family in his past life spanned several dynasties. Why has it become a mere branch now?

Calming his mind, scenes from a century ago flashed through Gu Xuan's mind, a glint of killing intent appearing in his eyes as he suddenly sat up.

"Good! Since I've been reborn, I shall definitely climb to the peak of the continent again. Gu Xingyun, this time, I will surely defeat you!"

He Gu Xuan, only thirty years old, was already ranked third on the Celestial Talent List of the mainland. He was exceptionally talented and brilliant. There was no doubt that within a hundred years, Gu Xuan would surely join the ranks of the continent's ultimate powerhouses.

But Gu Xuan was not content with this. When he ventured into the icy source on the mainland, he unexpectedly obtained a heavenly fire: Bing Po Han Yan, within the icy source.

As long as it is refined, the Primordial Flame can be elevated to the Heavenly Rank, making one a Heaven Warrior, and allowing them to smoothly surpass the top two on the Genius List, becoming the number one genius on the continent!

What's even more astounding is that with the power of a Heaven Martial Artist, Gu Xuan could easily climb to the top of the strongest martial artist list. Before the age of forty, he could be on the Genius List, ranking within the top thirty-six on the Continental List, and even potentially reaching the Star River List!

Therefore, Gu Xuan became the first martial artist to simultaneously appear on both the Genius List and the Powerful List, achieving a feat of ranking on both!

Gu Xuan had his eldest disciple, Gu Xingyun, protect him as he refined the Bing Po Han Yan. It had been two months, and Gu Xuan was almost done!

But Gu Xingyun coveted his elixir treasure and suddenly attacked him. Gu Xuan was caught off guard and died instantly. If it weren't for the fact that Bing Po Han Yan had already been refined for most part, protecting its master and seriously injuring Gu Xingyun, he might not even have been able to escape with his soul.

"Ancient Nebula, I treated you like a son, but you betrayed me! Good, good, good!"

Gu Xuan's eyes widened, filled with anger. Flames of fury surged within him. Then, he let out a long sigh. It had been a hundred years since the time of his fall. With Gu Xingyun's talent, he was probably already an unparalleled powerhouse!

And his rebirth, his dantian even the primordial fire wasn't formed yet.

The earlier a person's inner fire is born, the stronger their talent. If they don't have a source fire by fifteen years old, their talent isn't average at all.

"Alas! If I had the Bingpo Hanyan in my hand, how could I not catch up to the ancient nebula!"

Gu Xuan let out a sigh. Bing Po Han Yan ranked 27th on the Tian Huo Bang, a list of 113 kinds of heavenly fire. Its power was astonishing, belonging to the top thirty superior heavenly fires.

It's a pity that although he had refined it in his past life, it exploded under the attack of the ancient nebula. Such an outrageous feat was rendered meaningless in his eyes.

"Frostbite and Inferno!"

Thinking about this, Gu Xuan's eyes widened. He could roughly sense that the spark of Bingpo Hanyan was contained within his soul.

He swallowed, and Gu Xuan thought for a moment. A bone-white flame the size of his thumb appeared in his palm.

This flame flickers weakly like a candle, constantly swaying, as if a gust of wind could extinguish it.

Meanwhile, the temperature throughout the room plummeted several times over.

Click!

Every antique vase, unable to withstand the low temperature, shattered into pieces.

Compared to the full-fledged Bing Po Cold Flame that could freeze thousands of miles, this heavenly fire was very weak, just a spark. However, this was more suitable for refining!

"Hahaha! Heavenly fire seed, I can already refine heavenly fire right now, even though my primordial fire hasn't been generated yet. I'm treating heavenly fire as my source, a primordial heavenly fire! Who has such good fortune!"

Gu Xuan burst into laughter.

Although warriors can refine heavenly fire and become heavenly martial artists, they only do so by having powerful flames consume earthly fire. Then, they use the even more powerful flames gained from consuming earthly fire to consume heavenly fire.

In fact, the source fire possessed by Tianwu Shi is still human fire, having devoured the heavenly fire of humans.

But Gu Xuan was different. He had already refined the Bing Po Han Yan in his past life. Now, he only needed to merge the Bing Po Han Yan into his dantian to make it his primordial flame.

Gu Xuan closed his eyes, controlling the icy and frigid flames within his meridians. The flames finally converged in his dantian, located in the lower abdomen.

Zzzzz!

After this spark entered the dantian, it surprisingly attracted each other without any hindrance.

The human fire has not yet been produced in the dantian, and Bing Po Han Yan is easily connected with Gu Xuan's soul.

Poof!

Gu Xuan trembled, the Heaven Fire and Dantian coexisted, the primordial flame was born!

Boom!

Gu Xuan's aura surged instantly, his martial artist realm reaching the Spirit Level One Star!

"Level Two Spirit, break for me!"

Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity, and he roared fiercely.

The essence of Heavenly Fire, its power is immense. Even just the nascent form of the primal flame, the power it wields cannot be merely at the level of a Spirit Rank one-star. Because this primal flame isn't the primal human fire, but the primal Heavenly Fire!

The terrifying flames tore through Gu Xuan's restraints, his aura surging again, reaching the second star of the Spirit level!

"Not enough! Keep pushing!"

Gu Xuan's eyes held a resolute gleam. He charged at the Spirit Level Three barrier, striking it again and again, causing his body to tremble with each impact. However, Gu Xuan remained unfazed.

Boom!

Another invisible barrier was shattered, and Gu Xuan officially stepped into the Spirit Level Three-Star realm!

"Hahaha! Just stepped into the warrior realm, and I've already broken through to three stars, and it's even the Origin Celestial Fire. At this speed, who else can compare?"

Gu Xuan's face was filled with ecstasy, his eyes gleaming with a trace of ambition. With this opportunity, this life would surely be even more glorious than the last!

Some super powerful forces can help their juniors directly refine the earth fire through special means and shape it into its original form, but only Gu Xuan, who possesses an unparalleled opportunity, can have the original celestial fire.

It can be said that Gu Xuan now is already a legendary heavenly martial artist, and even more authentic than those heavenly martial artists who absorbed human fire to obtain heavenly fire.

However, at this time, the Bing Po Cold Flame was too weak. The quality of the primordial flame was far from reaching the lowest level of a common Heavenly Martial Artist, Tian Jie Wu. If it had to be calculated, it could only be considered around Tian Jie Ten levels. Nevertheless, it was much stronger than those newly born Primordial Fire souls.

"Huh? Who is my father arguing with?"

As a warrior, not only did Gu Xuan's strength increase, but he also became more perceptive. He could hear the conversations outside, and one of them belonged to his father in this life, Gu Tianmo.

Gu Xuan walked out and saw his father, Gu Tianmo, in the distance.

"Gu Hai, I treated you like a brother back then! Today I went out to get medicine for my son, and you stopped me, wanting to be ungrateful?"

Gu Tianmo wore a long, grey shirt. He was lean and tall, but his once handsome face was now etched with weariness. At this moment, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and his face was contorted with anger as he glared at the middle-aged martial artist in front of him who was strutting about arrogantly.

"Roll, roll!"

Gu Hai said impatiently, "Who the hell thinks of you as a brother? You were the chieftain back then, so I just agreed to be your younger brother out of obligation. Now that you're a useless bum, you still want to act like you're something?"

Hearing the word "waste," Gu Tianmo's haggard face was filled with anger. He clenched his fists, but still forced down his rage, his voice low and heavy: "Gu Hai! I know you still resent me for punishing you back then. Tell me what you want, and I will repay you!"

"Is that so?"

Gu Hai raised an eyebrow, a playful smirk on his face: "You seemed to have beaten me up before, and quite badly too."

Gu Tianmo let out a cold snort, his face stony. His hand moved towards his left index finger, ready to crush it. With a single downward stroke of his palm, he would rip flesh and bone, leaving a bloody mess.

Gu Hai's eyes narrowed, and he thought about tormenting the once-famous Gu Tian Mo. A perverse pleasure welled up in his heart.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, Gu Xuan's anger surged to his head. With a roar, the memories of the previous Gu Xuan merged with him. Now that Gu Tianmo was humiliated, he shared the same feeling.

Hearing Gu Xuan's voice, Gu Tianmo hurriedly turned his head, his face full of surprise, and said, "Xuan'er, you... you're alright?"

Gu Hai frowned, snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Didn't you say you would repay me? Now that your son is alive, you don't want to repay me anymore? As the former clan leader, don't you keep your word?"

Gu Tianmo remained composed, and raised his palm once more: "You're right, I did say it before. Gu Tianmo never breaks a promise! What you're owed, I will return to you now!"

Hold on!

Gu Xuan coldly snorted and strode forward, sneering at Gu Hai: "A true man keeps his word, but that depends on who he's dealing with. If it's another true man, of course, that's how it should be. But if it's just a dog, there's absolutely no need for such formalities!"
