**Chapter 4: Awakening of the Dragon Roots**
Feng Ruoyan had always felt an inexplicable connection to fire, but in this new life, that connection was evolving into something far beyond her comprehension. The moment she severed her past ties and began cultivating anew, she felt a dormant force awakening deep within her soul.
Her discovery came during an intense meditation session in the secluded mountains behind her family estate. As she entered a deep trance, a surge of energy pulled her consciousness into a strange, boundless space. At first, she panicked, but then a familiar sensation washed over her—this was not the first time she had been here.
Memories of her past life surfaced. She had stumbled upon this space during one of her adventures but had never fully understood its significance. Now, she realized the truth—this was her very own magical space, an ancient inheritance buried within her bloodline, waiting for her to claim it.
The space was vast, filled with swirling spiritual energy and a celestial spring at its center. Glowing golden runes floated above the spring, pulsating with a rhythm that seemed to match the beating of her heart. She approached the spring cautiously, drawn by an unseen force.
The moment she dipped her hand into the crystalline waters, a searing heat coursed through her veins. Flames erupted around her, but instead of burning, they coiled and merged into her body. Her spiritual root—once a pure fire root—began to shift. The flames darkened, gaining a golden-red hue, and then, they roared with life.
A deep, ancient voice resonated in her mind. *Dragon Fire Root… the bloodline of the Primordial Fire Dragon has awakened.*
Her body trembled as the transformation took hold. Scales flickered across her arms for a brief moment before vanishing. Her meridians expanded, absorbing the potent energy of the spiritual spring, refining her fire into something more powerful, more divine.
As she embraced this change, knowledge flooded her mind—a unique cultivation technique tailored for the Dragon Fire Root. Unlike conventional fire-based cultivation, this path allowed her to harness dragon flames, bestowing her with unparalleled strength, regeneration, and the ability to wield fire as both destruction and creation.
Determined to uncover more secrets, she explored deeper into her magical space. As she wandered through the ethereal realm, she came across an ancient stone pavilion surrounded by floating books and jade slips. The words "Celestial Flame Library" glowed atop its grand entrance.
With excitement and reverence, she stepped inside. Shelves upon shelves of cultivation techniques lined the walls, each radiating a distinct energy. As she reached out, a particular jade slip levitated toward her, its aura burning with golden-red light—the same color as her newly awakened Dragon Fire Root.
She grasped the jade slip, and its contents poured into her mind. *Primordial Dragon Flame Codex—A technique passed down from the Fire Dragons of the ancient realm. It refines the essence of flames into divine dragon fire, capable of incinerating all impurities and forging an indestructible physique.*
Her heart pounded. This was the key to mastering her newfound power. Sitting cross-legged, she absorbed the knowledge, allowing the mystical energy of the space to merge with her cultivation. Flames flickered around her, controlled yet untamed, whispering secrets of untapped potential.
When she finally opened her eyes, she felt lighter, stronger, and filled with an overwhelming power she had never known before. Clenching her fists, she knew that with this transformation and the knowledge of the Celestial Flame Library, she had taken her first true step toward rewriting her destiny.
With the power of the Primordial Fire Dragon coursing through her veins, the wisdom of the Celestial Flame Library in her grasp, and an unparalleled cultivation technique to guide her, she vowed—this life, she would not only survive but rise above all who had once sought to destroy her.
