Ling Tian did not retract the flame, allowing it to absorb the black water here to increase his strength, while he went down the Black Water River.
Ling Tian soon made a discovery and looked at the several black plants growing on the wall in surprise.
"Is this the Demon Sun Fruit?"
Ling Tian walked closer and identified it again. After a moment, he was sure that this was the Demon Sun Fruit. However, he was very curious. This kind of spiritual fruit can only be found in the Demon Realm. How could it appear here?
"Could this black water be something from the demonic world?"
Ling Tian's guess made him a little frightened. It reminded him of the dark phoenix that Su Qingyan mentioned. In addition, the secret exit here was the dark abyss, which was the entrance to the demon world. There must be some connection between them.
"So what if there's a connection? It's not something a small ant like me can control."
Coming back to his senses, Ling Tian set his sights on several Demon Sun Fruit trees. These were rare spiritual fruits, and the Magic Pills refined from them were essential for entering the Demon Realm. They were also very popular among human cultivators. After all, the Demon Realm was dozens of times larger than the human world, and was rich in resources, so many humans would venture into it in search of opportunities.
After transplanting a few Demon Sun Fruit trees, Ling Tian continued to go deeper. The further he went, the greater the harvest. Many natural treasures unique to the Demon Realm grew on the rock walls on both sides of the Black Water River. Of course, all of these fell into his space.
After walking for about an hour, Ling Tian was extremely excited when he reached the end of the river. Looking at the strange flame in the center of the black water pool, he could not suppress the greed in his eyes.
"Void Black Flame!"
Ling Tian exclaimed and strode over to confirm. A moment later, Ling Tian was so excited that he seemed a little crazy. This was indeed the Void Black Flame and it had just emerged not long ago. He immediately retracted the six-colored flame and guided it slowly over to absorb the Void Black Flame.
However, the black flame seemed to have some intelligence and immediately sank into the black water pool. Ling Tian certainly would not miss this great opportunity, and controlled the six-colored flame to chase after it. He also jumped into the black water pool without hesitation. In his opinion, the extremely toxic black water posed no threat to him at all. It was just that he was a little too arrogant. Once he entered the water, he could not suppress the poison, which made him panic. Why was it different from what he expected?
At the critical moment, Ling Tian activated the Dragon-Slaying Vine to pull him out of the black water pool. He quickly swallowed a few pills to start expelling the toxins from his body. Fortunately, his body had a trace of antibodies to this black water, otherwise he would be in danger.
Half an hour later, Ling Tian let out a long breath. Although he had completely filtered out and absorbed the toxin, he still felt a lingering fear.
"The toxicity of this black water is far greater than the one that killed Weng Jieming. It seems that what we got from him was only a dilution of the toxicity several dozen times."
"Could this black water, which can give rise to the Void Black Flame, be the holy water from the Demon Corpse Lake within the Demon Emperor's Tomb, the Holy Mountain of the Demon Realm?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. At this moment, a bold guess arose in Ling Tian's mind, which made his eyes deep. Perhaps all this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the demon invasion.
Ling Tian didn't dare to guess further, and even less wanted to guess. As a mere half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, he couldn't possibly stop such a thing. It would be better for him to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible to save himself.
Suddenly, six-colored flames quickly penetrated into his body. A piercing pain made Ling Tian roll over with his head in his hands. It turned out that the Void Black Flame had been swallowed by it. The reputation of being ranked third on the list of strange fires was not just talk. Even a newly born creature was extremely ferocious. For a while, Ling Tian really couldn't subdue it, and could only rely on countless pills and spirit stones to fight it.
This process lasted for a month, and Ling Tian had used up most of the pills he had. He finally made it through, but the gains were immeasurable.
Looking at the colorful flame leaping on his fingertips, Ling Tian was a little bit unbelievable, not because of how powerful it was, but because it gave birth to a trace of spiritual intelligence. As long as he entered the Nascent Soul stage, he could use it to generate his second clone. This was an immeasurable wealth.
"From now on, I'll call you Seven-Colored Divine Flame."
After retracting the flame, he would naturally not let the black water below go unattended, but before collecting it, he still needed to use it to improve his resistance to poison.
Three days later, Ling Tian collected all the black water, but he discovered that there was a secret entrance at the bottom of the dry pool. After thinking about it, he walked in.
The secret passage was very small, but it felt like it was going straight up. After walking for a while, a larger hole appeared in front of his eyes. Ling Tian walked in cautiously. In the center stood a giant dragon statue, and around it were nine slightly smaller statues echoing it.
"It has a dragon head and a snake body, squatting on the head of the zither. Is this Qiuniu?"
Ling Tian looked at the statue closest to him. Based on the shape, he had already determined what kind of beast the statue was. Then he walked down to the next one and started looking at it.
"It has a jackal body, a dragon head, and a sword in its mouth. This is Jiaozi."
After going around, Ling Tian had already recognized all the statues. They were indeed the nine sons born by the dragon. However, he was very surprised. The nine sons and the dragon could not be put together. Is there some mystery?
Ling Tian walked around again, and this time he felt something strange, thinking that this was a formation.
"A dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons trapped the dragon?"
"How strange."
Unable to uncover any deeper mysteries, Ling Tian decided to leave.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred. The giant dragon statue in the center actually emitted a blood-red light, which scared Ling Tian so much that he almost retreated.
"What's going on? When did the formation light curtain appear?"
Ling Tian was shocked and immediately used the Seven-Colored Divine Flame to bombard the formation, but there was no fluctuation at all, which made him feel cold.
At this moment, the central statue began to break apart, and so did the ground. A scene that terrified him soon appeared below.
A giant dragon was locked up by nine iron chains, and the chains extended from the nine statues. Ling Tian didn't dare to get close because he felt that the trapped dragon still had a breath left.
"Don't panic, my friend."
Suddenly, an old voice entered his mind. Ling Tian looked at the dragon in surprise, sweat pouring down his face. He steeled himself and asked, "Are you the one speaking?"
"Yes, don't worry, I have no ill will towards you. I just didn't expect to meet a monk again after millions of years."
"Millions of years?"
hiss~
Ling Tian exclaimed inwardly, what does it mean to survive for a million years? Although monsters have a long lifespan, it would not be so exaggerated, unless... they have discovered the mysteries of the way of heaven and achieved the realm of Tao!
"Dao Realm? You must be joking, my friend. If I were in the Dao Realm, would I end up like this? It's just that we divine beasts have a unique way to increase our lifespan.
"According to your human classification, I should only be level fourteen."
