Chapter 204: The Divine Fire Appears
The screams of Princess Luo and the strange male cultivator sounded behind Xie Liuyin, but they could not stop her from running towards the fire dragon.
Since she already has the sword in her hand, why should she choose between two lives?
She must kill the dragon and save people!
Using the momentum from jumping off the cliff, Xie Liuyin raised his sword and chopped it down at the fire dragon's head.
I thought that even if this sword couldn't break the fire dragon's head, it should be able to cause some damage to it.
However, unexpectedly, the next moment after Xie Liuyin struck the fire dragon, the ferocious monster in front of him turned into a bubble, and the magma under his feet also disappeared.
Xie Liuyin felt as if the world was spinning around him, and the scenes around him seemed to have been punctured and faded away.
When her vision became clear again, she was already standing in a crimson hall.
This hall is very spacious. Apart from four thick pillars, there are several walls covered with carvings.
The entire hall is fiery red, and decorations everywhere are all flame patterns, as if it was born from the raging fire.
It was not until this time that Xie Liuyin finally understood that the strange farce just now was probably a test of the secret realm.
Although these continuous tests gave Xie Liuyin a headache, she had to admit that the Six Ding Divine Fire should indeed be handled with caution.
Facing the unfamiliar palace, Xie Liuyin wondered if this would be another test.
She took a tentative step forward, wanting to take a complete look at the palace.
Fortunately, the next moment, a voice sounded in my ears:
"Are you here to ask me for fire as well?"
The voice sounded very childish, even a little milky, but the tone was extremely unruly, yet it did not sound unpleasant.
Xie Liuyin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thick, blazing flame floating in the air. But the strange thing was that this flame had eyes and a mouth, and there were even flames on both sides that acted as hands!
"Could it be that you are the legendary Six Ding Divine Fire?" Xie Liuyin figured out the other party's identity in a flash.
The cluster of flames, which was only as big as a human head, proudly put its hands on its waist and said arrogantly, "It's me. Why, are you dissatisfied?"
Xie Liuyin didn't dare to say that he was dissatisfied, but was a little surprised: "How can the divine fire speak? Could it be that you have developed intelligence?"
"Hmph, I can speak, but you mortals just don't know it. Come to think of it, I haven't seen anyone from outside for quite a while. You are the second cultivator I have seen who can walk here." Shenhuo said, and suddenly changed the subject, curiously circling around Xie Liuyin a few times.
Xie Liuyin's eyebrows jumped: "Who was the person you met last time?"
"How do I know who she is?" Shenhuo said as a matter of course, "She didn't tell me, she just said she came here to collect dragon bones and fell in accidentally. I told her that my fire can burn dragon bones, and then gave her some."
After hearing the last sentence, Xie Liuyin naturally confirmed that the first person Shenhuo saw was the first city lord of Zhuilong City.
She told the Divine Fire what the old ancestor of the Long family had done after returning, and praised it a few words: "Thanks to the Divine Fire you generously gave me, it was able to protect so many mortals in such a chaotic time."
The divine fire put its hands on its hips again, but Xie Liuyin could see some shyness on its face: "That's nothing, I should do it."
"What about you? Are you here to ask for the divine fire as well?" it asked.
Xie Liuyin did not hide it: "Yes, we accidentally found a piece of dragon bone this time, and wanted to refine it into a treasure armor. But ordinary flames can't damage dragon bones at all. Coincidentally, we learned about this secret place from the manual of the ancestor of the Long family, so we came here to try our luck."
But she didn't expect that this test was divided into layers and layers, and in the end she passed it faster than everyone else.
Shenhuo snorted again: "I knew you were here for this. You guys were making so much noise that you woke me up."
It was originally sleeping in the secret realm. After all, there was no other living creature here except it.
For so many years, it could do nothing but talk to itself. Because it was too idle and had nothing to do, it simply went to sleep.
If this group of people hadn't made so much noise when they came in, it would have continued to sleep.
"Since you have the ability to pass my test, I can give you some fire." Liu Ding Divine Fire was quite easy to talk to.
It has been trapped in this small secret realm since its birth, and it knows that those mortals are coveting it and begging it to share some of its fire.
But since it is a sacred fire, it naturally cannot be taken away by anyone casually.
Therefore, it deliberately set up two tests. The first level of the sword bridge and sea of fire tests courage and tenacity, while the second level of choice tests whether the other party is kind-hearted.
Everyone who reaches this level will be faced with the question of choosing between a close person and a stranger. But in fact, neither choice is the correct answer.
It gave the other party the sword, and the sword was easy to use. If that person passed this level, he would only save the people he knew and let the other person die.
That is definitely a selfish thing. If it gives the flame to the other person, and that person uses his fire to do bad things in the future, wouldn't it also have to bear part of the sin?
But on the other hand, if the other party does not save his acquaintances but saves strangers, that would be even more undesirable.
He can let his close ones die, but save strangers. He is generous to others, and it is obvious that he values reputation above all else. He is also cruel and ruthless, and he is not qualified to take away its flame.
Only those who dare to draw their swords against the fire dragon are qualified to receive its favor!
It’s a pity that there are too few people who can understand its thoughts, and what makes the Divine Fire even more dissatisfied is that most of these people can’t even pass the first level.
Humph, if you can't endure hardship, how can you accept its divine fire? If you want to control the divine fire, you must first endure the pain of being burned by the raging fire!
"Excuse me, sir, how are the other people who came here with me doing now?" In fact, Xie Liuyin wanted to ask how many other people had passed the test like her.
Unexpectedly, Shenhuo said arrogantly: "Except for you, no one has passed the second level. Many are stuck in the first level, and a few have already left the secret realm."
"You are all a bunch of incompetents. You can't even pass such a simple test, and yet you dare to covet my Divine Fire." The Divine Fire was not polite at all and mocked those people.
Xie Liuyin was surprised when she heard this. She also knew that this test was not so easy to pass, but she still didn't expect that so many people would be stuck at the first level, and some even left the secret realm.
"Okay, stop talking about those trash. You want my fire, right? I can give it to you right now." Shenhuo clapped his hands, and sparks fell all over the ground.
Just as Xie Liuyin was about to nod in agreement, another thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "You have been in the secret realm for so long, have you ever thought about leaving here?"
The divine fire stopped moving instantly, and Xie Liuyin felt as if he saw a movement on the other party's face.
