As soon as the Red Emperor's words fell, Huomiao's hands moved, and instead of attacking at the beginning, he chose to assume a defensive posture. After all, he is two levels lower than his opponent's cultivation, and in this case, the back hand who can see the move is more suitable for him.

"You're still like that. Huo Yan sneered, and manipulated his spiritual power to sweep the surrounding flames. There were fire attribute cultivators on both sides, and fighting in this sea of fire was almost like a fish in water.

"Haven't you used your most familiar tactics?" said Huo Miao laughed, and then his spiritual power burned, and it seemed as if his whole person was on fire.

"Oh my God!" Lin Ming exclaimed, he wasn't stupid enough to worry about whether the flames would be burned to death, to his surprise, the flames actually used a hugely expensive combat method in the first place.

Even for a cultivator with a fire attribute bloodline, it was not easy to cover his spiritual power with flames. The people who use this trick are either cultivators above the Transformation Pulse Realm, or people with unique spiritual skills.

"Don't worry. The Red Emperor glanced at Lin Ming and said, "If the flame uses the spirit technique, it will be too unfair to the flame, so he won't use it." ”

"That'...... Will Flame be used?" Lin Ming asked curiously.

"Then I don't know ......" The Red Emperor did not answer Lin Ming's question, but the old god looked at the ring on the ground.

Although it is said that his spiritual power is constantly burning, the strange thing is that he does not show an expression of exhaustion, and even has residual strength, on the other hand, Huo Yan, although he is a sevenfold cultivator in the Qi refining period, it is still very difficult to gather such a large-scale flame.

"Looks like you're uncomfortable with your unskilled way of fighting. Huo Miao said loudly, but Huo Yan didn't answer, just stared at each other coldly.

The flame wanted to say something, but by this time, the flame's accumulation had ended, and he let out a loud cry and blasted all the flames he had gathered.

"Do you know how the flame burns?" said Huo Miao, Lin Ming felt that he was not talking to Huo Yan, but asking himself a question.

"In order for a flame to burn, there must be three conditions: temperature, air, and combustibles. The flame stretched out three fingers, and he didn't pay any attention to the flames coming at him, "And to put out the flames, it only needs to remove one of the conditions." ”

Before Lin Ming could understand, he saw that the huge flames all hit Huomiao's body, you must know that an attack by a cultivator of the seventh level of Qi refining stage with all his strength, even a cultivator who is one realm higher than him will be injured, not to mention that Huo Miao is only a five-fold cultivator of the Qi refining stage, and he has not yet been blessed with any defense.

The explosion lasted for about half a minute, and to Lin Ming's great surprise, not only were the flames unharmed, but there were not even traces of charred black on their bodies.

"How is it possible!?" Lin Ming shouted in surprise when he saw the flames looking calm and relaxed.

"Hehe, that's the importance of enlightenment. The Red Emperor recalled the two with a smile, and then looked at Lin Ming, who was speechless with his mouth wide open, "Do you want to know the answer?"

"I hope the seniors will solve their doubts. Lin Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

"Haha...... Actually, the answer is very simple, have you forgotten what the flame said to you before?" the Red Emperor laughed, "There are three conditions for the flame to burn, and to make the flame extinguish, only one of them needs to be removed. ”

"Huh?"

Before Lin Ming could figure out the truth, the Red Emperor solved all the mysteries: "As I said before, Huo Miao has realized two ways, the first is temperature, and the second is burning. ”

"When he fought against the flames before, he lowered the temperature around his body very low, so in this case, even his spiritual power could not burn. And then the flames disappeared, and when the spiritual power hidden in the flame attacked him, he raised the temperature again and burned the spiritual power of the flame. ”

"Through his comprehension and understanding of the flames, he received the full blow of a cultivator who was two realms higher than himself unscathed, and this is the effect of the 'truth'. ”

"This ...... It's horrible, too. The more Lin Ming listened, the more frightened he became, just a few simple uses could make enemies stronger than himself have nothing to do with him, this is simply amazing. However, if the strength is strong to a certain extent, isn't it useless?

"Do you think that this is just a little knowledge, as long as the strength is strong, this kind of little trick is useless at all?" Seeing that Lin Ming still had the idea of the supremacy of strength, the Red Emperor shook his head and explained, "Your thinking is still too rigid, if everyone is the same as you think, then there will be no spiritual skills in the world." ”

"Spiritual skills?" Lin Ming quickly understood the relevance, "What do you mean...... Psychic skills are actually the use of reason?"

"That's right. The Red Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "The so-called spiritual skills, to put it bluntly, are the truth, after knowing the theory, and then using this theory, it is precisely because the spiritual power is mixed with the truth that the power of the spiritual skill will be so great." ”

"It's actually like this...... "In the three years since he entered the Guiyun Sect, the elders of the sect have been telling him to cultivate hard, strive to become stronger, and strive to make his cultivation higher, but he has never thought of comprehending his spiritual power.

Now that I think about it, even the cultivation itself is the use of spiritual power, whether it is absorption or operation, these require the understanding of the essence of spiritual power.

And in the final analysis, the purpose of cultivation is to become stronger, but the means to become stronger are not only cultivation. Learning spiritual skills, forging spiritual weapons, refining spiritual pills, if these things are used well, they can improve their strength. If you only think about improving your cultivation all day long, and don't exercise your combat skills, you will be killed by those proud sons of the sky.

"How is it, have you figured it out?" Seeing that Lin Ming was silent for a long time, the Red Emperor knew that this kid was taking his mind one step further, which was also a very crucial step in his cultivation. Many people only think about improving their cultivation when they start cultivating, but in the middle, there is an extremely critical hurdle.

That's the time of calamity.

There are a total of nine tribulation periods, and every time you survive a tribulation, your strength will rise to a higher level - but this tribulation is not triggered by a certain level of strength, but it is all on your own.

If they are confident enough, a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm can even summon the Nine Heavenly Tribulations in one go, directly crossing the Tribulation Realm and turning into a god.

However, this was not so easy, because what the Heavenly Tribulation verified was the cultivator's comprehension of the Dao.

The so-called Tao is the application of spiritual power, and reason is the essence of spiritual power.

Under the guidance of the Red Emperor, Lin Ming gradually entered a deep cultivation state, which was a rare opportunity. Just like deep sleep, the state of deep cultivation will empty the brain and eliminate the interference of distracting thoughts, so that while cultivating, it will also be possible to observe the essence of spiritual power from the nearest perspective.
