On the other side.
Huang Tianhao fell miserably outside the library. He was sprawled on all fours and attracted many people's attention.
After getting up, he left with a flushed face.
However, his miserable-looking appearance was captured by someone and posted on the official forum. He became famous.
The other top ten true disciples would not let go of the opportunity to attack him.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at our Young Master Huang. He's so pitiful. His butt is about to split in half!"
"Yeah, it's so pitiful!"
"The worst thing is that he embarrassed himself in front of Fairy Yao. He probably won't have the chance to pursue Fairy Yao. How pitiful!"
"No way, what's the situation? Can someone tell me?"
"It's like this for me …"
…
Many people paid attention to the top ten of the True Disciple Leaderboard. Even a small commotion would cause people to discuss for half a day, let alone such a huge commotion.
However, Ou Shaotian was unaware of the discussions on the forum. He was still thinking.
There were many ways to advance to Rank 9. After some consideration, he decided to take the path of treasures. That was to look for Rank 9 treasures of heaven and earth.
A place recorded in the book caught his attention. It was the Fiery Sea!
The Fiery Sea was a special sea. A whirlpool connected to the Void Fire Region appeared, causing the temperature of the sea to be extremely high. The water temperature reached a few hundred to a thousand degrees.
As the atmospheric pressure was a hundred times higher than the outside world, the boiling point of the water was one to two thousand degrees.
Although the Fiery Sea's temperature was high, there were no signs of boiling.
The high-temperature sea contained high spiritual energy and produced many Rank 9 marine creatures. Naturally, it was also because there were many Rank 9 treasures of heaven and earth.
"The Fiery Sea, huh? I'll take a look later!"
Ou Shaotian put down the book and turned to leave. Since he found what he wanted to see, there was no need to stay.
"He's leaving just like that?"
Many people looked at Ou Shaotian's back and were slightly surprised.
After Ou Shaotian left the library, he flew back to Spiritual Plant Peak. When he returned to Courtyard 56, he found Xuanyuan Zhantian waiting at the door.
"Shaotian!"
When Xuanyuan Zhantian saw Ou Shaotian land, he immediately welcomed him happily.
"Why are you here?"
Ou Shaotian said as he opened the door.
"I know that you've come out of seclusion, so I came over. But you've just come out of seclusion, and you've already caused quite a commotion. You're really amazing!"
Xuanyuan Zhantian followed Ou Shaotian into the house.
After sitting down, Ou Shaotian brewed a pot of tea and said, "I just met some guys in heat."
"Let's not talk about this. I heard about what happened to Elder Jin last time. It was really dangerous. Fortunately, the elders of your Spiritual Plant Peak helped!"
When Xuanyuan Zhantian heard about that incident, he couldn't help but worry. When he returned, he immediately went into seclusion. Only after he came out did he find out about such a big matter.
"It's alright. Back then, it was all thanks to Elder Liu Long. Otherwise, it would have been really difficult to clean up the mess!"
Although the situation was not right and Ou Shaotian could hide in the entrance world, that would be the same as exposing his method!
"What do you plan to do next?"
"I've already reached the threshold of Rank 9. I plan to make a trip to the Flame Sea to find some treasures and strive to advance to Rank 9 as soon as possible!"
"Then let's go together. Who knows, we might become the first and second Rank 9 powerhouses in the Archaion Sect!"
"What about the other humans? Do we need to bring them along?"
"Most of them are still in seclusion. They can still use the resources they've obtained for a long time!"
"That's good!"
"Oh right, do you still remember Ye Qingshan? His little girlfriend is from the Green Clan. Now that the Green Clan has formed an alliance with us, I heard from him that it's all thanks to you."
"Haha, I just helped them a little!"
Then the two agreed on a time to set off for the Flame Sea tomorrow morning. They would meet at the port and take the fishing boat avatar to set off.
…
The moon rose and set, and the night passed quietly.
In the morning, when the sun had just risen, the fishing boat avatar took Ou Shaotian and Xuanyuan Zhantian out of the port and headed in the direction of the Flame Sea.
"Shaotian, how did you get your hands on a treasure boat?"
On the deck, Xuanyuan Zhantian asked curiously.
Back then, he had spent a lot of effort to get a top-grade spiritual boat. It could be said that he had gone through a lot of trouble to get it.
But compared to Ou Shaotian, it was far inferior.
"I was lucky. I got it in a ruin. It can't be replicated, so there's nothing much to say!"
Ou Shaotian casually found an excuse.
"Alright, do you have a good understanding of the situation in the Flame Sea?"
"I've read some books, so I have a rough understanding."
"I've never been there before. I heard that the water temperature is a few hundred to a thousand degrees. Some places even exceed a thousand degrees. It's terrifying!"
As they chatted, the two of them talked about the situation in the Flame Sea.
They had never been to the Flame Sea before. After all, it was too dangerous. Most of the people there were Rank 9 powerhouses.
They were only at the peak of Rank 8. Without a Rank 9 powerhouse leading the team, it was actually quite dangerous there!
A few hours later, they gradually felt the surrounding temperature slowly rising. They had already entered the Flame Sea.
The further they went, the higher the temperature.
"Scan!"
Ou Shaotian immediately turned on the radar and scanned the bottom of the Flame Sea.
Soon.
Powerful auras appeared in the bottom of the sea. Most of them were Rank 7 or Rank 8 powerhouses. There were also quite a number of Rank 9 powerhouses.
The weakest of them was Rank 6.
As for the weaker ones, sorry. In this hot sea, those below Rank 6 could not survive at all.
"Senior Brother, get ready to go down!"
Ou Shaotian said. Then, he activated the defensive shield of the fishing boat clone. Immediately after, the fishing boat clone dived into the water with them.
The color of the water did not change much. It was still dark blue and visibility was very low.
However, the marine creatures in the water had changed a lot. Most of the marine creatures were more red in color. Many schools of red fishes could be seen.
These fishes were extremely fast. They were like balls of fire shuttling through the water.
"You can catch some Rank 6 or Rank 7 marine creatures. You can also catch some Rank 8 ones that are alone. If they are in groups, don't provoke them!"
"Understood!"
After a simple conversation, the two of them got to work. The fishing boat clone dived while they fished.
Both of their fishing skills were not bad. Rank 6 or Rank 7 spiritual fishes were basically defenseless. As for Rank 8 spiritual fishes, they would fish selectively.
If the fish were too strong, they would not take action.
However, Ou Shaotian's focus was still on the treasure hunt. Through the radar scan, he had already locked onto a Rank 9 Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
The fishing boat clone was constantly approaching. At most ten minutes, they would be able to get close to the Treasure of Heaven and Earth.
The key question now was how to seize it after getting close.
