"Then what is the Ancient Devil's Corpse?" Long Chen asked.
"Ancient Demon? That's just the name you gave the corpse. It's called a demon, but in reality, it's only the corpse of a strong cultivator in the past. After the strong cultivator died, the corpse was refined and used in battle. What can be used is only the strength of the strong cultivator when he was alive. If the Ancient Demon's corpse can reach the fourth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm or above, it means that in the Heaven Martial Arts Realm, when he was alive, he was not a weak cultivator," said the kitten.
There were quite a few strong cultivators in the Myriad Kingdoms Territory. Most likely, a long, long time ago, there had been quite a few in the Heaven realm. It was quite normal for the Ancient Demons Territory to have such a corpse.
"Why didn't the Ancient Demon Area use the Ancient Devil's Corpse? It's very simple. Right now, they can't use the Ancient Devil's Corpse. After absorbing enough Life Spirit Qi, they should be able to use it. It seems that I have to pay more attention to the Ancient Devil's Corpse …" Long Chen remembered this matter in his heart.
At this point, the surrounding environment had changed. The gray fog had dissipated a lot, and the gray clouds in the sky had now turned into a vast gray sky. This meant that they were already quite a distance away from their original position.
"If this continues, we will definitely be able to leave this damned place." With an expert like Long Shan, they would no longer have to be afraid of a Martial Emperor after leaving.
Long Yue and the grey-clothed youth were looking forward to the situation after Long Shan left.
As for Long Chen, he was thinking about another matter, and that was the matter of Liu Yiyi. Liu Yiyi and Long Chen were friends, and she was also Jiang Wuya's daughter. She was a good girl. To let her marry some Zhao Danchen, Long Chen could only say, "Zhao Danchen, go to hell."
However, Long Chen didn't know how much time they had left.
Therefore, he was also a bit anxious.
Everything depended on how many days they could leave.
Following the direction indicated by the compass, a total of seven days had passed since they had obtained the compass. On this day, Long Chen and the others suddenly felt as if the surrounding temperature had risen significantly.
"Why is it that the more we follow the direction of the geomantic compass, the higher the temperature here becomes? Additionally, the ground is gradually changing from grey to a faint red colour. If we keep going like this, will it turn red?" the grey-clothed youngster said with a somewhat gloomy tone.
Indeed, although Long Chen kept changing directions, it gave him the feeling that he was always going in the direction of a fire.
Smelling the fire, Mo Xiaolang, who was in Long Chen's Great Virtual World, asked happily, "Big Brother, could it be that we are approaching a place with a fire? Even from so far away, the temperature can still be affected. This means that fire is not simple."
"I don't know. Let's hurry up and take a look," Long Chen said.
The group continued forward. The further they went, the higher the temperature. Soon, Long Chen discovered that the entire sky had turned scarlet. Walking on the ground felt like they were stepping on a red-hot wok.
Wisps of flames ignited in the air before quickly disappearing.
"The exit of the Nine Serene Mourning Soul Land might be enveloped in a sea of fire."
Long Chen walked at the very front. At this moment, the compass changed directions again and pointed south.
"Go this way," Long Chen had just pointed in a direction when the compass suddenly exploded in his hand.
"What's going on?" Long Shan and the others asked hurriedly.
"Without this compass, we won't be able to leave."
The grey-clothed youth revealed a dispirited expression. Because he had saved Long Shan, he no longer had to be threatened by Martial Emperors. He had been waiting to leave the Nine Serene Mourning Soul Land. He had not expected the compass to shatter at this moment.
"Don't worry."
Long Chen was shocked at first. However, he thought about it and said, "We've already come this far. Furthermore, the compass pointed us in a direction just now. There's no way we can't get out. If we keep heading south, we should be able to succeed."
"I approve of this."
Long Yue was the first to nod. Although Long Chen was the youngest here, his performance had always been very steady. He was even more steady than the other Long Chen.
Thus, everyone headed south. This place was already hot enough. The further south they went, the hotter Long Chen felt. From this, Long Chen knew that he was definitely on the right path.
After walking in this direction for another half a day, Long Chen suddenly discovered that the entire world was enveloped in flames. Small flames flickered in the air continuously before being extinguished. It could be seen how high the temperature here was.
Although the temperature was high, the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth had dropped to an almost non-existent level. Compared to the gray land from before, it was even thinner. Furthermore, Long Chen even felt a whirling wind.
"This Nine Serene Mourning Soul Land is already very difficult to get out of. At the exit, there's still this flame blocking the way. With such tyrannical flames, we probably won't be able to find the exit." The grey-clothed youth looked at the fiery red in front of him and said with some dismay.
The surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher. Long Yue's expression was also unsightly. Long Shan's thin face was also tensed up. Only Long Chen had a relaxed expression.
They were all very curious about Long Chen's situation. Thus, Long Chen asked in disbelief, "Seventh Brother, could it be that you have a way?"
"Let's talk about it after we find the exit. I'm not sure right now," said Long Chen.
Finally, a sea of flames appeared in front of them. Long Chen raised his head and saw a majestic scene in front of him. At the place where the red sky and the earth intersected, there was a huge flaming wheel placed horizontally. This flaming wheel was spinning rapidly, and the countless flames on it scattered towards the surroundings. It was like a celestial maiden scattering flowers. Balls of flames fell towards the surroundings and started burning fiery-red sand.
This huge flaming wheel was rather huge under the group's path. Long Chen wasn't sure if they could find their way south if they went around this flaming wheel. Moreover, Long Chen reckoned that this was the exit of the Nine Serene Mourning Soul Land, and it was very likely that it was in the middle of this flaming wheel.
"Grandpa, what should we do?" asked the grey-clothed youngster after seeing the situation.
The aged Long Shan frowned deeply. He stared at the huge flaming wheel in the sky and said with a bitter smile, "With the temperature of this flaming wheel, with my Qi, I think I can barely go to the center of the flaming wheel. If there's an exit there, I can still go out. But I'm not sure about you guys. It's not that you can't go out."
Long Shan was actually a strong cultivator in the fifth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. Although he could only use the Qi of the fourth level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, he still had some knowledge. If he said that Long Chen and the others couldn't go out with the support of Qi, then they definitely couldn't go out.
"Ah."
Everyone was very depressed. After thinking so hard, they still couldn't go out. In the future, they would still die here.
"Grandpa, quickly think of a way. I don't want to stay here." The grey-clothed youngster had the protection of his elders, so he could only place his hopes on Long Shan.
Long Shan was also thinking of a way. The more he thought, the more he frowned.
"Long Chen, what about you? Do you have any ideas?"
At that moment, Long Yue remembered that Long Chen didn't seem to be worried at all. She looked at Long Chen for help.
At that moment, Long Chen was talking to Kitten.
"The center of the flaming wheel is definitely the exit of the Ninth Hell Grieving Soul Land." said Kitten confidently.
"Why?" asked Long Chen.
"Didn't you notice? The natural energy here is even thinner. When you approach the center of the fire wheel, you will realize that the natural energy is so dense. The natural energy of the Nine Serenities Mourning Soul Grounds is actually all being sucked out of the outside world by the fire wheel. That is why this place has become a hell devoid of natural energy."
"So that's how it is." Long Chen narrowed his eyes.
"Of course, you don't have to worry at all. This flame won't be able to stop you at all, because you have the monstrous black puppy as a brother. With him here, even the ancestral flame won't be a problem for you, let alone this insignificant beast flame." The kitten rubbed its big belly as it spoke in a calm manner.
"This is a type of beast flame." The eyes of Long Chen and Mo Xiaolang lit up.
"Yes, it's also a flame born from the bones of a beast. It's been around for a long time, so I can't tell what kind of flame it is. However, looking at the size of the flaming wheel, you can tell how huge the beast was."
In the Great Virtual Realm, Xiao Lang couldn't wait any longer. He said, "Big Brother, since the exit is in the center of the flaming wheel, let me devour this beast flame. I can feel that this beast flame is much more terrifying than the Blue Magic Flame."
Indeed, there was only a little bit of the Blue Magic Flame, but there were so many beast flames. However, the quantity was tens of thousands of times that of the Blue Magic Flame.
To Xiao Lang, the higher the grade of the flame, the more nourishment he would get.
The Sun Devouring Demonic Wolf was endless.
As long as Xiao Lang could continue to grow, he would definitely have a bright future. His potential might even be greater than Long Chen's.
Of course, it would also depend on how many such flames there were in the world.
Long Chen nodded.
At this moment, Long Yue and the others looked at Long Chen for help.
What should they do?
"Seventh brother, do you have a way?" Long Yue asked again, looking a little anxious.
Long Chen had told her about Jiang Wuya and Liu Yiyi. She must be equally anxious.
"Don't worry. Leave everything to me. Wait for me here. I'll head over first," Long Chen said with a smile.
There was still a distance between them and the flaming wheel. Long Chen dashed forward, as though he was going to rush into the flame.
"What the hell is this kid doing?" Long Yue's eyes were filled with doubt.
She didn't know about Xiao Lang's talent.
