Flameyellow Rock

The Flameyellow Rock is a special existence in the Ignispolis' Heaven’s Sanctum's Flameyellow Pagoda. It is a massive irregularly shaped rock and is covered in red and yellow stripes which changes every second and reveals hints of myriad mysteries. The Flameyellow Rock is said to have been placed by the ancestors of the institude when it was founded. It was a Spirit Ore with black Heavenly Patterns.

The rock absorbs endless amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and has managed to develop its own consciousness through the years. One remarkable characteristic of the rock is its ability to pick out cultivators it appreciates and chase away those it dislikes. Each person would have their own unique synchronization level with the rock, where a higher level means more effective cultivation. When one cultivates near the rock, the rock gathers and guides the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, improving the efficiency of the cultivation. The close the proximity, the more effective. The sanctum has divided the area around it into five different synchronization regions with level 1 being the weakest and level five being the highest. This has allowed the sanctum to further segregate the possible talent of its disciples.

## History

Li Tianming has perfect synchronization with the rock, surpassing all records that the sanctum had. When he first entered it, he was able to cultivate at the fourth region and found it to be a breeze as the Aeternal Infernal Codex devoured all the violent spiritual energy. If not for his bet with Wei Lingxuan, he would likely continue.  On his second try, within the same day, Jiang Feiling attached herself to him and they were both able stabilize themselves right before the rock. Following that, Tianming touched the rock with his transformed left hand and caused the black heavenly patterns on the rock to wriggle to form some kind of picture while an immense amount of spiritual energy channeled itself into Tianming's body. If not for his left hand withstanding most of it, it would have blown off his entire hand.

When Tianming had gotten used to cultivating next to the rock with the help of Jiang Feiling, he started to practice his Battle Arts under the pressure. When he practice his battle art on the rock, the impact of his pnch was met with the reacting force of the spiritual energy storm which allowed him to get a sense of the strength of his battle art. He contined to improve his proficiency with his battle arts and used the reacting force to identify his own progress. On the fifth day of practicing the art, he realized that the black heavenly patterns on the rock were starting to move around on the surface. He started to congregate the patterns together and they formed a black circle, and at that moment a terrifying suction pulled Tianming and Ying Huo onto the rock. The spirtual energy that used to fill the hall suddenly disappeared and was channeled into the both of them. Both of them were able to breakthrough two levels in their cultivation and reached the fourth level of Spiritsource Stage. After receiving that incredible amount of spiritual energy, both of them were released from the rock. Tianming felt a faint communication with the rock's consciousness and felt that the rock had approved of him.
