"It really is a portal to another dimension!"
Third Elder Tang Qi exclaimed in shock.
"We and the dean searched the ice plains for a long time before, but we couldn't find this spatial gate!"
The golden lion laughed:
"My Great Sage has fiery eyes; nothing, no matter how strange, can escape his discerning gaze."
"Yes!" Tang Qi exclaimed, "It's perfectly normal that the Great Sage was able to discover it."
At this moment, everyone stood in front of the portal, the edges of which were marked with dense fire patterns, and the portal was covered with blazing flames.
As if remembering something, Tang Qi exclaimed in surprise:
"I remember a powerful rogue cultivator from the Tang Domain once said that there is a world at the core of the Tang Domain."
No one believed it at the time, but during the last battle against the Demon-Subduing Starfield, a mysterious legion appeared, said to come from the Earth's core.
This door might be the entrance to the inner Earth!
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun and the others exchanged glances, preparing to go inside and see if they could find any treasures.
Just as they were about to enter the portal, a sharp shout suddenly came from inside:
"roll!"
"Hmm?" Qiongqi's expression turned cold. "Speak more politely!"
"Get out of here! This is not a place for you!"
The sound rang out again.
The next moment!
Snap!
Qiongqi shattered the spatial gate with a slap, and then reached out and grabbed a middle-aged man by the neck, leaving him no chance to control himself.
The middle-aged man was no different from a human, but he was surrounded by flames, his hair was fiery red, and he was at the God Venerable Realm.
The fact that a powerful being at the Divine Venerable Realm was merely a gatekeeper demonstrates the formidable strength of the races in the Earth's Core World.
Everyone was slightly surprised. Sure enough, there was a subterranean world. Through the spatial gate, Ling Yun and the others saw a world that looked like a fairyland, as beautiful as a blessed land.
Immediately, Qiongqi asked the middle-aged man:
"Are you an infernal race?"
"Hmph! No outsiders are allowed to enter this place. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Undeterred by Qiongqi's power, the middle-aged man shouted sternly.
Snap!
Qiongqi slapped the middle-aged man across the face, then prepared to finish him off.
At this moment, the middle-aged man took the opportunity to crush a fire crystal.
The next moment!
boom!
Hundreds of terrifying auras arrived in an instant.
A Celestial King and three True Immortals arrived at this place, accompanied by dozens of Great Emperors and Divine Venerables.
"Who dares to trespass on the territory of my Flame Clan? Release my people at once!"
"A great emperor of the Fire Clan said coldly."
"Just you guys?"
Qiongqi's face darkened, and he kicked the middle-aged man away. Then, a deafening tiger roar instantly shocked the group of powerful members of the Fire Flame Clan, causing them to cough up blood and fall to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Qiongqi stomped its foot, leveling all the mountains within a radius of tens of millions of miles in the Earth's core world.
In an instant, the Fire Flame Clan was on high alert, and all the great cultivators of the Fire Flame Clan rushed out of their respective homes and flew to this place.
There were billions of Fire Clan Grand Cultivators.
Qiongqi glanced at them coldly, then slapped all the great cultivators to the ground.
"This is the price of a bad attitude. If you dare to utter any more arrogant words, I won't hesitate to wipe out the Fire Clan!"
The powerful Immortal King of the Fire Clan quickly stood up, respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, and said:
"I was unaware of your arrival, esteemed sirs. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality!"
Qiongqi looked at the Fire Flame Clan Immortal King and said in a deep voice:
"If you had adopted this attitude earlier, you would have avoided a beating!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Excellency is right. It's all my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly!"
The Fire Flame Clan Immortal King said with a forced smile.
"My name is Xiaoyao Qing. I invite you all to visit the Fire Flame Clan!"
"Surname Xiaoyao?" Ling Yun, Da Sheng, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Xiao Yanran's previous life was indeed surnamed Xiaoyao. Could it be related to the Fire Flame Clan?
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyao Qingneng personally led Lingyun and his group to visit the inner world of the earth.
All the Fire Clan cultivators lined up on both sides, beating gongs and drums, making the ceremony very clear.
Qiongqi nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, restoring the place he had previously razed to the ground to its original state.
Ling Yun and the Great Sage looked around. The inner world of the earth was incredibly vast, about half the size of the Tang Domain.
The sky was just like the outside world, a deep blue, with a great sun, forged from fire crystal, hanging high in the sky.
It is sunny all year round, but the temperature is like that of midsummer in the Tang Dynasty, extremely hot.
During their conversations along the way, they learned that the inner world of the earth has only one large clan, the Fire Clan, as well as a few rare demon clans, all of which are fire-type demon clans.
Lingyun and the others saw several fire dragons soaring in the distant sky.
Upon arriving at the Immortal King's residence, Xiaoyao Qing respectfully invited Ling Yun and his party to sit down in the main hall.
The architecture of the Fire Clan was exactly the same as that of the Human Clan, which made Ling Yun and his group feel somewhat dazed, as if they were in a large city in the Tang Domain, rather than in the Earth's core.
After taking his seat, Xiaoyao Qing tentatively asked:
"May I ask if you gentlemen have requested the assistance of my Flame Clan in sending troops?"
"Send troops?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that the mysterious legion that Tang Qi had mentioned earlier was very likely the Fire Flame Clan.
Tang Qi asked:
"During the later stages of the great war between Tangyu and Fumo Starfield, did the Fire Flame Clan send troops?"
“Exactly!” Xiaoyao Qing said.
"To be honest, the Holy Maiden of Fire Flame is none other than the only daughter of the patriarch of my Fire Flame Clan."
Years ago, the father and daughter had a big fight, and Xiao Ran came to Tang Yu in a huff.
Later, Xiao Ran became the commander-in-chief of the Tang Domain, and the clan chief, longing for his daughter, sent troops to help the Tang Domain.
You may not know this, but when the war started, three celestial kings from the Buddhist sect came, and it was I and the clan leader who held them off.
In the end, they were unable to stop the Golden-Winged Roc King, resulting in Xiao Ran being ambushed and killed.
Sigh~
Upon hearing this, the mystery in everyone's hearts was finally solved.
I had doubted how the weak Tang Domain could withstand the full-fledged Fumo Star Domain, but it turns out that the Fire Flame Clan had secretly sent troops.
Furthermore, the Flame Saintess's fire magic was clearly different from the fire magic of the Tang Domain, indicating that she came from the Flame Clan.
Tang Qi was also greatly shocked; as someone who had experienced it firsthand, he only learned about it today.
"How is the clan leader now?" Ling Yun asked.
"Sigh~" Xiaoyao Qing sighed.
"In that battle, the clan leader's foundation was damaged, and the death of Xiao Ran was a huge blow to him, which has resulted in him being seriously injured and waiting to pass away."
He often lamented that if he had agreed to let Xiaoran travel through the myriad worlds and experience the vast universe, perhaps Xiaoran wouldn't have died.
Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.
Everyone fell silent, sensing a desolate atmosphere. After a moment, Ling Yun said:
"Fellow Daoist Xiaoyao, please take us to see the clan leader!"
"Alright! Please follow me, everyone!"
Immediately afterwards, Xiaoyao Qing led Lingyun and his group to a sacred mountain, which was a forest of fire bamboo.
Deep in the bamboo forest stands a bamboo courtyard and bamboo building.
An old man with white hair and an aura of death was sitting cross-legged on the second floor of the bamboo forest, with a painting in front of him.
The person in the painting is Xiaoyao Ran, who is the previous incarnation of Xiao Yanran, the Holy Maiden of Fire.
"My child, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have stopped you from exploring the stars and the sea."
My child, your father was wrong.
The old man murmured to himself.
Xiaoyao Qing sighed:
"The clan leader often stares at Xiao Ran's portrait all day long!"
