Three young disciples of the Jinwu Sect walked over cautiously, lowered their heads, and stood side by side, like three children who had done something seriously wrong and were waiting to be punished.
Seeing their expressions, Huo Poyun shook his head and smiled: "Alright, alright, you don't have to be discouraged. Brother Yun even admits defeat to me, so it's only natural for you to be like this. Are you convinced now?"
"I give in." The young man on the left nodded repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yun. Not only did we overestimate our own capabilities, but we also... offended you." The young man on the right also bowed his head deeply.
“Brother Yun, you are actually so powerful… No wonder Senior Brother Po Yun praised you so much. I was not convinced before, but now… we are wrong.” The girl looked ashamed, but unlike the other two, she would occasionally look up and steal a glance at Yun Che, her eyes full of little stars.
Yun Che had long known that profound arts would have a great impact on a person's temperament. Because the people of the Snow Song Realm practiced extremely powerful ice-related profound arts, most of them had cold and aloof personalities, and were even a little cold. On the other hand, the people of the Flame God Realm were completely the opposite. Because they practiced extremely powerful fire-related profound arts, everyone's temperament tended to be strong and upright.
If you don't accept it, you have to fight it! If you accept it, you will accept it completely and sincerely, and never hide it or be stubborn.
“Hahaha, don’t worry about it. It can be said that there is no acquaintance without fighting.” Yun Che has always been a man without airs: “By the way, I haven’t asked for your names yet.”
"Hello, Brother Yun, my name is Huo Liaoyuan." said the young man on the right.
"Hello, Brother Yun, my name is Huo Liaotian." said the young man on the left.
"Hello, Brother Yun, my name is Huo Liao...ah, my name is Huo Wenrou." said the girl in the middle.
“…” Yun Che silently glanced at the little girl… Which blind man said “a person lives up to his name”?
Huo Poyun glanced around and asked in confusion: "Brother Yun, why isn't Master here?"
“He just had something urgent to do, so he left in a hurry.” Yun Che hesitated for a moment, then said, “It seems that the health of the young master of the Fire Sect has deteriorated.”
"Ah!?" The three young disciples exclaimed at the same time.
Huo Poyun was also surprised, and then he sighed: "I see... Brother Yun, this place is barren, with no grass growing, and there is nowhere to go. I wonder... what Brother Yun is planning."
Yun Che turned his gaze to the south. “I heard that the God Burial Inferno Prison is just a hundred miles to the south. If it is convenient for you, Brother Poyun, could you take me to the God Burial Inferno Prison for a look? Frankly speaking, I have been fascinated by it since the first day I heard about it.”
"This..." Huo Poyun looked embarrassed: "If it were normal times, of course there would be no problem. But right now is the Qionglong..."
Halfway through his speech, he frowned and changed his tone: "Forget it, since it is Brother Yun's wish, why not go there? Anyway, the Qionglong will not be able to come out for a while."
The two of them immediately soared into the air, facing the heat waves all over the sky, and flew towards the south. Although there was still a hundred miles between them, Yun Che glanced over and saw that the world in the south was all red, with flames all over the sky, like the burning lava of hell.
“I heard that the God Burial Inferno Prison stretches for millions of miles and is eternal. It is truly an incredible miracle. No wonder it can give birth to such a terrifying creature as the ancient horned dragon.” Yun Che exclaimed.
Huo Poyun said, “The God Burial Inferno Prison made our Flame God Realm possible. If one day, the fire of the God Burial Inferno Prison is extinguished, then our Flame God Realm will cease to exist. Speaking of which, although I have known the name of the ancient horned dragon in the God Burial Inferno Prison since I became conscious, I have never seen it. This time, I can finally see it with my own eyes, which can be regarded as a wish come true.”
Yun Che smiled and said, “I’m afraid that after this time, future disciples will never be able to see it with their own eyes again.”
“Hahahaha.” Huo Poyun laughed loudly, but then his expression quickly faded, with a complicated look in his eyes: “Master and the others are so eager to hunt down the ancient horned dragon this time, all for me, and after they succeed, it will greatly deplete their profound strength… and even their lifespans. Alas, how can I, Huo Poyun, be so virtuous and capable.”
Yun Che shook his head: “It is precisely because you have such qualifications that the three sect masters are so eager and willing. They are not only doing this for you, but also for the future of the Flame God Realm. Therefore, you do not need to be terrified, but should accept it calmly and repay it with all your heart in the future.”
Huo Poyun was silent for a short while, then suddenly he became enlightened and smiled sincerely, "Brother Yun is right! I will try my best in this Xuanshen Conference... I must break into the top 1,000 and never let down the high hopes of my master and the two sect masters."
Yun Che nodded, but he was extremely envious in his heart… Alas, all I want is the qualification to enter the Profound God Convention. Let alone the top thousand, even the last in the entire Eastern Divine Region would be fine… but it’s harder than ascending to heaven.
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief.
“Although it has never been successful before, it can be seen that both my master and the three masters of your Flame God Realm are quite confident in hunting the Qilin Dragon this time. It seems that a figure who will shock the entire God Realm will soon appear in your Flame God Realm. Maybe, after coming out of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, the Flame God Realm will leap into the upper star realm because of you.” Yun Che said sincerely.
"Okay!" Huo Poyun nodded heavily: "Even if it's just for what Brother Yun said, I, Huo Poyun, will fight to the death and rush into the top 1,000 in the Xuanshen Conference!"
The two were moving at an extremely fast speed, getting closer and closer to the Ancient God Burial Inferno Prison. Although there were still dozens of miles between them, the vast and boundless sea of fire had already filled the entire field of vision, seemingly having completely engulfed the earth and the sky.
“Speaking of which… does that ancient horned dragon never leave the God Burial Inferno Prison?” Yun Che suddenly asked, thinking of something. The ancient horned dragon was so powerful that even the three masters of the Flame God Realm could not defeat it, but they never seemed to worry about the ancient horned dragon causing trouble for the Flame God Realm.
"Indeed." Huo Poyun nodded and said, "According to Master, the ancient horned dragon was most likely born from the power of the flame veins at the bottom of the God Burial Fire Prison. The God Burial Fire Prison is the source of its power, so its power and aura are connected to the God Burial Fire Prison. Once it leaves the God Burial Fire Prison for too long, its power and life energy will quickly disappear, just like a fish out of water."
“So there has never been any record of an ancient horned dragon leaving the God Burial Inferno Prison. Otherwise, the Flame God Realm would have been struck by disaster long ago.”
“So that’s how it is.” Yun Che understood, and then he continued, “If the aura is also connected to the God Burial Inferno Prison, then if it doesn’t actively appear, then we won’t be able to detect its location at all?”
"Of course." Huo Poyun nodded again: "When it sank into the God Burial Fire Prison, its aura merged with the entire God Burial Fire Prison. Even your master should not be able to detect its location. It must only float out of the God Burial Fire Prison during the molting period that occurs once every thousand years. This is the only time in a thousand years that its location can be discovered."
“No wonder.”
Boom boom
The sound of the roaring sea of fire could be heard from afar, and the oncoming scorching airflow suddenly became several times more violent. From afar, the roiling flames shot up into the sky, as if hundreds of volcanoes were erupting at the same time, and this was just an ordinary flame wave in the God Burial Inferno Prison.
At this moment, the breath in front suddenly stagnated, and a fiery red figure appeared in front of them as if teleporting, and an invisible air wave forced Yun Che and Huo Poyun to stop.
The person who appeared in front was an old man with a solemn and dignified expression. When he saw Huo Poyun, he was slightly surprised, and his expression instantly relaxed: "Poyun, what are you doing here? Who is this person?"
“Elder Wan Tu.” Huo Poyun was not surprised by the old man’s appearance. He quickly bowed and said, “This is Yun Che, the disciple of the Snow Song Realm King. He has just arrived in the Flame God Realm. I will take him to see the nearby Fire Prison.”
“Oh? He is…” The old man’s gaze towards Yun Che suddenly changed. After a brief hesitation, he said in a deep voice, “Okay. However, the ancient horned dragon may appear at any time. If it gets close to this place, it will be extremely dangerous. You can only go to the edge of the Fire Prison at most, and you must not go deeper.”
"Don't worry, Elder Wan Tu. Brother Yun and I are just here to take a look and then we'll be back. We will never enter the Fire Prison area," Huo Poyun promised.
The elder nodded slowly: "That's the best." Then he added: "Be very careful."
The old man looked at Yun Che deeply again before leaving.
"He is the grand elder of the Suzaku Sect, his name is Yan Wantu." Huo Poyun introduced.
“Grand Elder?” Yun Che looked surprised.
"Every time we hunt and slay dragons, the strongest people from each sect will come here. When they fight against the ancient dragons, they will defend here to prevent us young disciples from being injured by the aftermath of the battle." Huo Poyun explained: "Not only the Suzaku Sect, but most of the top 30 elders from our three major sects are here."
Yun Che frowned, and suddenly asked in doubt: “When the ancient horned dragon was in the Fire Prison, its aura could not be traced, so naturally it was impossible to know in advance where it would appear. And the Burial God Fire Prison stretches for millions of miles, and the locations vary greatly, but you all are so determined to stay here, as if you calculated that it would appear nearby.”
"Of course," Huo Poyun laughed, "Because every time the ancient horned dragon appears during the millennium molting period, it will be near the north bank, and it is extremely close to the north bank, often only a few thousand miles away. The closest one in the records was only three thousand miles away, and the farthest one was no more than ten thousand miles away, without exception."
"Obviously, this is its nest, near the north shore. So, we can't go wrong if we wait here."
“Oh, I see.” Yun Che understood again, but another doubt soon arose in his mind… Thousands of miles away from the shore, no matter how strong the eyesight was, it would be impossible to see it. But Huo Poyun had said before that this time he could finally see the legendary ancient horned dragon in person, so what was going on?
A distance of a hundred miles passed quickly, and the two finally arrived at the edge of the God Burial Fire Prison.
Before my eyes, there was no longer the burning earth, but only an endless, shocking red color rolling around, like a boiling blood purgatory.
And it has been boiling for at least a million years.
The sky had also been burned into the same blood color. At first glance, one could not find the boundary between the hellfire and the sky. It seemed that the boundless sky had been completely swallowed up by this horrific hellfire.
The air here is so hot that even a Shintoist would find it hard to bear. If a piece of fine steel came here, the air alone would be enough to melt it easily without touching the flames of the sea of fire.
In the roiling sea of fire, a large number of fire spirits were flying.
The Illusory Demon Realm has a 3,000-mile Sea of Death, which is the most terrifying and extreme place in the entire Illusory Demon Realm. Even the previous Demon Kings would never dare to approach it.
However, compared to the million-mile God Burying Inferno Prison before their eyes, the Death Fire Sea, in terms of scale, momentum, and aura, is as weak as a stream before the vast ocean and is completely incomparable.
