Su Chen had investigated the Flaming Supreme Sage's family background. According to his understanding, the Supreme Sage was not attracted to beauties and was very proud and aloof. He was not good at making friends with people of lower class. It was really puzzling that such a person had taken in so many beautiful female disciples.
Was it just on the surface, and the Supreme Sage was secretly a despicable person?
"These women … there's something wrong with them," Luo Xuanji suddenly said.
Su Chen was slightly taken aback. He glanced at them roughly, but did not find anything unusual. Apart from their looks, these women's strength was uneven. Most of them had not even broken through to the Saint Realm, and only a few of them were in the Heaven Ascension Realm and Sky Pillar Realm. There was nothing special about their aura.
Well …
Su Chen's eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he had found something unusual.
"You should've been able to tell that these women's appearances are all similar to that person to varying degrees."
Su Chen certainly knew who Luo Xuanji was talking about.
Sky-reaching Empress, the woman who stood at the top of the Primordial Universe.
Furthermore, each and every one of these women bore a striking resemblance to Heavenspan Empress to varying degrees.
Su Chen remembered that when he was on the Primeval Star, the Flaming Supreme Sage was very interested in news about Sky-reaching Empress, and had specially come to find Su Chen to inquire about information. Could it be … no, it was certain that this Red Boy had improper thoughts about Sky-reaching Empress.
"Tsk, tsk, this Red Boy is really delusional. What kind of person is Sky-reaching Empress? Even I don't dare …"
Su Chen had to be more prudent in front of Luo Xuanji.
Luo Xuanji did not pay attention to Su Chen. She stared at the women below the hall, and a wisp of a fierce expression suddenly flashed through her eyes. With a wave of her hand, rays of destructive light shot out and annihilated all the 50 plus women. They were instantly vaporized, and not even a trace of ash was left behind.
Su Chen frowned slightly. Although he was a little surprised that Luo Xuan had the opportunity to attack directly, he could understand her actions.
The majesty of the Heavenly Empress could not be blasphemed. If these women were just scattered among the commoners, it would be fine. However, they had been collected by the Inferno Supreme Sage. Regardless of whether they had done anything to them, it was still a taboo. If the Heavenly Empress knew about this, the consequences would be even more severe.
Shaking his head and sighing softly, Su Chen once again opened the Gate of the Underworld and sent the souls of these women into the cycle of reincarnation, allowing them to cultivate anew in their next lives and no longer suffer this unexpected calamity.
Unexpectedly, the souls of these women did not hold a grudge against Su Chen. Instead, they were deeply grateful to him. To them, reincarnation and rebirth seemed to be a form of liberation.
In order to repay Su Chen, the souls of these women told him everything about the treasury of the Inferno Supreme Sage.
"No wonder I couldn't find it. It turns out that the treasury isn't in the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, but in the Flaming Mountain."
After releasing these souls, Su Chen planned to go straight to the Flaming Mountain.
Luo Xuanji did not go with Su Chen. She was not interested in the treasury. The Soul Mountain Sect had just taken over the Aparagodaniya Continent and there were still many things that she needed to deal with.
Phoenix Dawn wanted to go with Su Chen, but she was called back by Luo Xuanji.
"Although you said that you want to hand the Soul Mountain Sect over to Su Chen, look at him. How can he be someone who can honestly manage a sect? When he inherits the position of Sect Master in the future, it will be the two of us who will take care of the affairs of the Soul Mountain Sect for him. You should learn more from me now," Luo Xuanji said earnestly to Phoenix Dawn.
Phoenix Dawn curled her lips and obediently followed Luo Xuanji.
Su Chen left the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace alone.
He headed south and flew towards the Flaming Mountain.
The spatial structure around the Flaming Mountain was unstable. There would be a certain risk if he teleported there directly. Since the distance was not far, it would only take two hours to fly there. Therefore, Su Chen planned to fly there and enjoy the scenery along the way.
The Aparagodaniya Continent was different from the Soul Mountain and the Jing Province. The environment here was more complicated. There were all kinds of strange terrains that could not be seen anywhere else. It was still worth a look.
After approaching the Flaming Mountain, the temperature of the environment began to rise rapidly. The vegetation on the ground began to thin out. Only some fire-attribute heat-resistant plants could continue to grow here.
However, after approaching the Flaming Mountain for five thousand kilometers, even fire-attribute plants could not grow. There was no soil on the ground, but obsidian formed by layers of magma after it hardened. There were also many complex alloys. These alloys were naturally smelted from the high temperature underground. They were extremely hard and were also considered a refining material. Some cultivators would come here to collect alloys, but they could only collect the surface layer at most. The temperature underground was extremely terrifying. Even many fire-attribute cultivators did not dare to go deep.
Su Chen's fire resistance was considered to be extremely high, but when he was still a thousand miles away from the Flaming Mountain, he felt waves of scorching air rushing towards him. The power of these waves of fire was very strong, and it would be very difficult for ordinary Heaven's Equal Realm experts to block these scorching waves of fire with their protective spiritual energy.
When he was still fifty kilometers away from the Flaming Mountain, Su Chen could see the full appearance of the Flaming Mountain.
This distance was the limit of the Heaven's Equal Realm.
If he went any further, the Heaven's Equal Realm cultivators would be in danger.
Only Divine King Realm experts had the ability to climb the Flaming Mountain.
The environment was dangerous, but Su Chen was still calm and composed.
The temperature here was just average for him. This was under the premise that he did not use Immortal Qi to protect his body and did not activate the Fire God State. Therefore, even if the temperature increased by a hundred or a thousand times, it was still within the range of Su Chen's tolerance.
The Flaming Mountain was not big. Its height did not exceed two thousand meters. It was composed of three main peaks and one auxiliary peak. Its whole body was dark red. It was so red that it was greasy, as if it was drenched in a layer of blood. At first glance, it looked very strange and horrifying.
"Gurgle gurgle …"
At the foot of the mountain, there was a lake formed by magma. The magma was constantly bubbling.
Su Chen was surprised to find that there were actually several red-faced monkeys bathing in the magma lake. Each of them looked comfortable, as if they were here for a vacation.
"The temperature of this magma is at least tens of millions of degrees. What kind of monkey can be bathing in such hot magma? It seems that they are not ordinary."
Su Chen wanted to get closer to observe, but the monkeys were very alert. They instantly sank into the magma lake and disappeared.
Su Chen's curiosity was overflowing. With a thought, he bought a lot of bananas from the store. Feeling that it was not enough, he also bought a few immortal peaches. He held them in his hand, wanting to lure these red-faced monkeys over.
After a while, just when Su Chen thought that it was useless, a red-faced monkey finally poked half its head out of the magma lake.
The divine pattern trap that Su Chen had set up in advance immediately caught the monkey and dragged it over.
When the monkey fell into Su Chen's hands, it immediately screamed. The other monkeys also emerged from the lake and bared their teeth at Su Chen. It was as if they were threatening Su Chen to quickly release the monkey.
It seemed that this group of monkeys did not have any intelligence. It would be a problem for them to communicate.
That's right!
Su Chen suddenly had an idea. He activated the Innate Primeval Skill and mobilized the power of origin in his body to constantly change. His entire bloodline aura also changed. In the blink of an eye, he was exuding the same aura as the red-faced monkeys.
The monkeys were stunned on the spot. They were all stunned.
