Chapter 548
The two were no longer interested in the fire spirit hidden in the magma. A ban hidden at the bottom of such a volcano could attract their attention more. It was obvious that the person who could set up such a method was not weak. Could the hidden thing be bad? At least not worse than the fire spirit.
Maybe the fire spirit was used to attract other people's attention and make them ignore the hidden restrictions.
The two of them put up layer after layer of protective shields for themselves to resist the heat waves from the magma, and then focused on breaking the restrictions next to the magma. From time to time, this place would be splashed by the rolling magma, but it not only had no destructive effect on the restrictions, but on the contrary provided energy for the operation of the restrictions.
The two of them were both good at formation, and with the help of Yuan Jing's divine eye, just when they felt the burning heat on their bodies and the protective shield was about to be broken, the restricted entrance was finally opened by them. The two of them flashed in and closed the restricted entrance behind them.
There was actually a passage inside, and the temperature was not as hot as outside. On both sides of the passage were extremely rare fire stones. The fire stones not only emitted heat, but also absorbed heat from the magma underground, making the fire stones more pure and taking away the burning sensation here.
Walking to the end of the passage, they came to an underground space. The scene they saw amazed them. In front of them was a pool of red water. In the center of the pool grew a red lotus. Above the lotus was a cluster of bright red flames burning quietly, which was bright and gorgeous.
They expected there to be good stuff here, but the red lotus and strange fire they saw still surprised them.
"Red Lotus of Lihuo! How amazing!" Red Lotus is used to cultivate Lihuo. It is unknown how long this place has existed before such a Lihuo was cultivated, so this Lihuo is also called Red Lotus Lihuo.
Duan Linzhi's eyes showed joy: "This thing is meant to be ours. We gave up that strange fire last time, and this time we found another one. Yuan Jing, what are you waiting for?"
Although Yuan Jing didn't have much need for the strange fire with his alchemy skills and strong soul power, and any need for it was just icing on the cake, but now that it was right in front of him, there was no reason to give it up.
Who would have thought that a place with such violent energy could actually contain a gentle strange fire? The predecessors who arranged this place also had good intentions, and all their efforts were used to help the younger generation, just like the pool of chalcedony milk found at the bottom of the cliff last time.
Yuan Jing smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll take it. Brother Duan, you can take the lotus seeds."
"Okay." Duan Linzhi did not refuse. The Red Lotus nourishes the Fire of Separation, and the Fire of Separation will also feed back to the Red Lotus. Most of the medicinal properties are concentrated in the lotus seeds. The lotus seeds can not only help cultivators to subdue the Fire of Separation, but also help improve a person's vitality and cultivation.
Yuan Jing waved his hand and wrapped the cluster of fire with his soul power. Even though it had a gentle temperament, it became irritable at this moment. It was born and bred to be unwilling to be conquered by others, but it met an opponent. Its strong soul power gushed out and wrapped the fire layer by layer. After a fruitless struggle, the fire finally shook towards Yuan Jing, wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
Yuan Jing flicked the flame with his finger, then drew it into his stomach and let it take root in his dantian. Duan Linzhi, who had collected the lotus and lotus seeds, flicked a lotus seed into Yuan Jing's mouth. Yuan Jing immediately swallowed it and closed his eyes to concentrate on subduing the Lihuo.
Duan Linzhi first protected Yuan Jing, and after discovering that the fire was very well behaved and no longer resisted, Duan Linzhi also began to take lotus seeds.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the two opened their eyes at the same time. Yuan Jing stretched out his hand, and a bright red flame appeared in his palm, and then rolled around in his palm, making Yuan Jing couldn't help laughing. With a thought, the Lihuo returned to his dantian and swam comfortably in his dantian.
Before the two left this underground space, they arranged the pool of water again. Without cutting off the roots of the red lotus, they also set up a fire-gathering formation to absorb the heat from the magma outside. Perhaps after thousands or even millions of years, the red lotus and fire of separation would be able to regenerate here.
After walking out of this underground space, the strength of the two people has changed a lot. Before, they were both at the ninth level of Martial King, but now they have crossed the Martial King level and entered the Martial Sect level. They have also risen all the way to the third level of Martial Sect. Whether it is the Li Fire that has been nurtured for thousands of years or the lotus seeds, they both contain extremely rich energy, which after being absorbed and refined, pushed the cultivation of the two people all the way up.
When the two left the magma, Duan Linzhi looked back at the fire spirit hidden in the magma, smiled, and left hand in hand with Yuan Jing. Let the fire spirit stay there, after all, it has made a contribution to protecting the Lihuo. Well, that's it.
With only two months left, the inner domain of the Wanyan Domain was opened, and all the cultivators who entered the Wanyan Domain rushed to the inner domain, and Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were no exception.
In the inner domain, many cultivators who entered discovered a ruined mansion left by their ancestors. Based on the traces revealed, they could conclude that it was left by a weapon refining master, and thus a melee was about to break out. Originally, such a fight between martial masters was something that Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi, both of whom were at the ninth level of Martial King, could not intervene in. But this time, with the help of Lihuo and Red Lotus Seed, the two of them forcefully intervened, and Lihuo also showed its power for the first time in Yuan Jing's hands.
"Who are those two?"
"One of them is Duan Linzhi. He participated in the weapon refining competition with the strength of the ninth level of the Martial King and won a place in the Ten Thousand Fire Domain. He was also appreciated by Master Chimei. I didn't expect that in just three months after entering the Ten Thousand Fire Domain, he ascended from the ninth level of the Martial King to the third level of the Martial Sect. He must have obtained a great opportunity in the outer domain."
Not long after, a rare natural treasure was discovered in another location. It could greatly increase the strength of cultivators who practiced fire-attributed techniques, thus attracting another wave of cultivators to compete for it.
Yuan Jing and Duan Linzhi were not so eager for rare treasures. On the contrary, they would compete for the inheritance of the weapon-refining master. In the end, they and several other cultivators were swallowed into a vortex in front of everyone. But when others wanted to enter again, the vortex had already closed. They could only look on with regret and turn around to look for opportunities elsewhere.
During these two months, there has been no peace in the Inner Domain. Not only have natural treasures and rare Yuan plant refining materials appeared frequently, but there have also been footprints left by the ancestors here. For two months, the Inner Domain has been full of excitement and climaxes, but everything came to an abrupt end after two months.
Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing, who had been staying in the Master Refiner's mansion, were also teleported out of the secret realm with everyone else because the time was up. As soon as Duan Linzhi stabilized himself, he received a message. He curled his lips and said to Yuan Jing, "Master Chimei sent a message saying that three of the four forces have come and have been guarding Wanhuo City for half a year."
Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "According to this time, my fifth brother will probably come to Tianyuan Realm soon, so let's lend a helping hand to him."
"Okay, then I'll just have to wait until I have time to visit Master Chimei again." Duan Linzhi replied to Master Chimei, then flew out with Yuan Jing.
Not long after, they were surrounded by a group of cultivators.
"Duan Linzhi! Zhai Yuanjing! Why don't you just surrender? Let's see where you can run this time!"
At the same time, Master Chimei, who received the reply, was reading the message while paying attention to the movements here. City Lord Qiu was also nearby. He curiously asked Master Chimei: "Are you really not going to lend them a hand?"
Master Chimei glanced at Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing and said with a smile, "Didn't you notice the changes that have taken place in them over the past six months?"
City Lord Qiu took a serious look at the two of them and took a deep breath. "Wow, they have advanced from the ninth level of Martial King to the fifth level of Martial Sect. Wow, it looks like they have gained a great opportunity in there."
“Not only that, I noticed that the other young friend had an obvious aura of strange fire, but he didn’t have it before entering the Wanyan Realm. It can be seen that he also acquired it in the Wanyan Realm.” Master Chimei has been dealing with fire, so he saw through it at a glance.
City Lord Qiu patted his forehead. He had controlled the Wanyan Domain for many years. He had opened it countless times and sent so many cultivators in, but no one had brought out the strange fire. Now it fell into the hands of these two guys. He had to say that these two guys were extremely lucky. He had to admit that.
While they were talking, Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing had already drawn their swords to meet the group of besiegers. The energy fluctuations and movements generated by the battle between several martial masters were extremely eye-catching in Wanhuo City, and many cultivators rushed to watch.
Many people recognized Duan Linzhi who was besieged by that group of people, and after recognizing him, they also took out Zhai Yuanjing who entered Wanyan Realm with him. Could it be that the group of Wuzong coveted the good things that the two brought out of Wanyan Realm?
"No, I know where the group of cultivators who attacked came from. They are old enemies, not new ones."
"Tell us what happened?" There was no shortage of gossipers among the onlookers.
“Haha, they are cultivators who came from Shuiyun Territory, from Zixu Sect, Tianluo Sect and Ying Family, while Duan Linzhi and Zhai Yuanjing came from the lower realm, which is controlled by Zixu Sect. Unfortunately, they pushed them too hard and a disciple sent by Zixu Sect died in their hands. As a result, they were hunted down by those forces as soon as they entered Tianyuan Territory, and now they have come to Huoyun Territory.”
"Tsk tsk, so that's what's going on. It seems that Zixu Sect and Tianluo Sect are no match for them. The two cultivators from the lower realms have forced them to this extent. I think these two cultivators from the lower realms are quite powerful. It's too difficult for them to take them down with these martial sects. But how did they escape in the first place?"
"It is said that he escaped using a Sky Breaking Talisman."
"Doesn't that mean there are cultivators from the upper realm helping them?"
"Exactly. It is said that he is a direct descendant of the Hua family, the grandson of Emperor Wu Zhongzheng."
"I see. There has been no news about Emperor Zhongwu for a long time. It seems that the status of Emperor Zhongwu's grandson has also plummeted. No wonder he has joined forces with the warriors of the lower realm."
There are not many secrets in the world. The conflict between Yuan Jing Duan Linzhi and the four forces and its origin have been dug out by gossip lovers. Even Hua Wenmeng, the grandson of Emperor Zhongwu, has been dragged out. I believe that after this battle, the news will spread even more widely. After all, Zhong Zheng, who is a ninth-level Emperor Wu, still has a certain degree of fame in the Tianyuan world.
Even City Lord Qiu and Master Chimei became curious.
City Lord Qiu: "Master, do you think Zhong Zheng is still alive? Will he return to Tianyuan Realm one day?"
Chimei stroked his beard and sighed, "I don't know. If Zhongzheng died, it would be a pity. But judging from the situation, Zhongzheng's grandson has not given up. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
No one else knows whether Zhong Zheng is dead or alive, but his grandson, who is related to him by blood, should be the one who can sense it the most. As long as his grandson has not given up, it means that Zhong Zheng is still alive.
Perhaps this is the reason why the Hua family and the Ying family have never dared to kill Hua Wenmeng. The more open Hua Wenmeng behaves, the more afraid they are of him.
City Lord Qiu touched his chin and said, "Even my people haven't been able to find out the inside story yet. How did the news spread? Could it be..." He looked at Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing who were in the center of the fight. Master Chimei laughed. He also saw this. Apart from the parties involved, who else knew the inside story better?
It just so happens that because of the weapon refining competition, Wanhuo City has gathered many cultivators and weapon masters from all sides. When they leave, the news will also spread. I believe that the Hua family will also feel the pressure at that time. It has to be said that this move is extremely smart.
This was exactly the backup plan that Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing had arranged in the two days before entering Wanyan Territory. It was now taking effect. It was meant to not only help Hua Wenmeng, but also to inform Zhai Yuanhao, and at the same time disrupt the situation a little to create some opportunities for Zhai Yuanhao.
Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing, who were at the center of the fight, stood back to back. They exchanged glances. There were enough cultivators gathered around them, and the effect they wanted to achieve was achieved. Their eyes flashed fiercely, and the next moment, sharp and powerful sword energy attacked forward, and at the same time, clusters of fire floated all around, and then there were violent explosions. Smoke rose all around, and when someone waved away the smoke, they found that the two people at the center of the fight had lost their whereabouts, and those martial masters who had besieged them before were either seriously injured or disabled, and their end was very miserable.
"That is..."
"The Sky-Breaking Talisman! Another Sky-Breaking Talisman!"
"Didn't they say there was only one? Why are they using it again?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's just a deliberate attempt to confuse people."
"Oh, these guys are in trouble. Can they still return to their sects and families?"
There were also people who were waiting to chase after Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing, coveting the goodies they brought out from the Wanyan Territory. Unfortunately, they had escaped and some were gloating over the martial masters who had besieged them. It was a waste of time and they might even lose their lives.
Ying Xiu and Ying Zhuo simply couldn't believe what they had experienced. How come only half a year had passed and two ninth-rank Martial Kings had transformed into fifth-rank Martial Masters with such powerful combat power? Were they really warriors who had just come from the lower realms?
The two men coughed and spit out blood. As messengers, they were under special attention from Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing. After spitting out blood, their faces immediately turned pale.
The two regretted it. How much did Hua Wenxuan's affairs have to do with them? Why did they work so hard for Hua Wenxuan?
