Mo Tiange wiped her sweat as she walked past the foot of the mountain covered in Primordial Devil Aura.
If it wasn't for Fu Yaozi's reminder, the two of them would have to spend a lot of effort to get out.
After cultivating to this stage, a cultivator's vigilance had already been deeply engraved in their bones. As soon as there was an abnormality, they would immediately take action. In this place, this instinctive reaction just happened to cause serious consequences.
"This Primordial Devil Qi is weaker than before."
Fu Yaozi's voice came from the Fusheng Sword. He looked pensive. "Could it be that the demonic energy will slowly dissipate with time?"
Mo Tiange didn't know what the situation was like 100,000 years ago, so she didn't answer.
After crossing the rocks at the bottom of the cliff, they saw a narrow canyon in front of them. This canyon was extremely deep and narrow, as if it was a crack left behind by a giant's sword.
Looking from this side, the canyon was pitch-black, and the scenery couldn't be seen clearly. It was difficult to use one's Divine Sense to probe inside.
Both Mo Tiange and Qin Xi felt strange, so when they walked closer to take a look, they discovered that not even a blade of grass grew in the ravine. There was an underground fire burning, scorching the rocks in the ravine black.
"This is … Extreme Yang Real Fire!" Qin Xi suddenly sucked in a deep breath as he looked at the situation in front of him.
"What?" Mo Tiange was confused.
Qin Xi wrinkled his brows and said, "The so-called Three Great Real Fires of Outer Fire are Extreme Yang Real Fire, Earthly Pole Real Fire, and Samadhi Real Fire. Extreme Yang Real Fire is the highest grade of Earthly Pole Real Fire."
He looked at Mo Tiange with a solemn expression. "As far as I know, only one wisp of Earthly Fire in Danding School's Mount Tianhuo has reached this quality.
This kind of extremely pure Earth Pole True Fire is even more incisive than the Nascent Fire of a Nascent Soul cultivator. "
"Is that so …" If that was the case, wouldn't going through this valley be equivalent to roasting himself in the nascent fire of a Nascent Soul cultivator?
Mo Tiange admitted that she didn't have that kind of ability.
"Master?" Her divine will asked Fu Yao Zi. "Must we pass through here?
Can we find another way? "
"Hmm?" Fu Yao Zi said, "Haven't you noticed that the Primal Devil Qi is even denser above this canyon?"
Mo Tiange raised her head, but all she could see was darkness above her head.
This canyon was filled with Extreme Yang True Fire, so everything was black. Her divine sense was somewhat lacking, so she overlooked it just now.
"Then how do we get there?
This canyon is so long that I'm afraid my protective magic treasure won't be able to hold on. "
"Whether or not I can endure it, won't we know once we try?" Fu Yao Zi casually said.
"… Master!"
"Heh …" Fu Yao Zi laughed and said, "Do you think that I would still ask you to go if I knew it was impossible?
Don't worry. "After saying this, he said no more.
Feeling helpless, Mo Tiange said to Qin Xi, "Do you have any protective techniques?"
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Xi released the Body-Protecting Sword Formation. He then fumbled in his Qiankun Bag, took out two glittering talismans and handed one to her. "I obtained this talisman when I explored Demonic Mountain years ago. Its nature is water, so it happens to restrain the Real Fire inside. You can give it a try."
Mo Tiange held the talisman in her hand. She sensed the surging spiritual aura bound inside the talisman, so she knew this talisman was very rare. Perhaps even top-grade magic weapons wouldn't be enough to exchange for it, so she asked, "Isn't it a pity to use it like this?"
Qin Xi only said, "What's a pity?
No matter how valuable something is, it's still used to save our lives. "
He then slapped the talisman, and a spiritual light emitted from his body, forming a thin, misty barrier.
"Oh! This brat actually has such a good thing!" Fu Yao Zi's voice came from the Fusheng Sword.
Mo Tiange imitated him and also slapped the talisman on her body. She asked casually, "What? Master, do you recognize it?"
Fu Yao Zi was silent for a while before he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this talisman is an ancient item. It seems this senior martial brother of yours also obtained a lot of fated chances." Otherwise, how could he be willing to use this kind of talisman so easily?
If he used it in a fight of magical powers between cultivators of the same realm, he would have the upper hand.
Demonic Mountain was an ancient relic. Qin Xi went there twice and returned unscathed each time, so it wasn't strange for him to obtain such a treasure from it.
Mo Tiange just smiled. She put away the Lotus Dragon Umbrella, released the Art of Chaotic Origin and the White Silk Handkerchief, then stepped into the canyon with Qin Xi.
With a bang, the protective aura barrier collided with the Supreme Yang Real Fire in the canyon, producing a slight sound. The aura barrier shook a bit, but it was still stable. A light mist rose from it, enveloped the Supreme Yang Real Fire, and then extinguished it.
Water and fire restrained each other. This talisman was indeed extraordinary. Even the purest Earthly Real Fire couldn't resist it.
"Let's go," Qin Xi said. He waved his arm, and the sword turned invisible, circling around the two of them.
The two of them turned into a flight light and flew into the depths of the canyon.
"Oh? How could this be?" Mo Tiange was surprised after they flew for a while.
The White Silk Handkerchief was given to her by a Deification cultivator. The stronger she was, the stronger her defense would be. With her current cultivation level in the Core Formation realm, it was strange that she wasn't damaged in the slightest when facing the Supreme Yang Real Fire of the Nascent Fire-level.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Master, is that you?"
Fu Yao Zi's snort came from the Fusheng Sword. "If I wasn't sure, why would I let you take this path?"
Mo Tiange smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Master, what did you do?"
Fu Yao Zi answered, "The things I asked you to buy before are naturally useful.
However, it's also because the talisman your Senior Martial Brother gave you is extraordinary. Otherwise, you'd have to spend a lot of effort to pass through this canyon. "
Mo Tiange pondered for a moment and understood.
Previously, she bought a lot of materials according to Fu Yao Zi's requirements, either to refine magic weapons or to make objects. The White Silk Handkerchief was refined with a kind of spiritual water. So it was for this trial!
The two of them flew quickly. In just a moment, they reached the bottom of the canyon.
When they looked up at the sky, they could only see a gray, white line. Their surroundings were dark, and only the red light of the Earthly Real Fire could be seen.
"Pop!" Mo Tiange looked down and saw that the mist barrier around her body was shaking. It seemed like it couldn't hold on much longer.
Qin Xi frowned and put his hand on her waist. Their mist barrier merged into one, and his spiritual aura was transmitted to her steadily. "Hold on a little longer."
"En."
Mo Tiange was very calm. She pointed with her spiritual aura, and the White Silk Handkerchief turned into mist, firmly protecting the two of them. Outside the White Silk Handkerchief, Qin Xi's Three Yang Real Fire Sword Formation blocked the Supreme Yang Real Fire outside.
As time passed, the mist barrier around them gradually became unstable. When the mist and the Real Fire came into contact, a "pop" sound was heard. At first, it was only occasional, but gradually, it became more and more frequent.
Qin Xi looked ahead and waved his sleeve. The sword formation around him suddenly emitted a fierce sword aura and slashed at the Supreme Yang Real Fire around them.
"Pop!
"Pu!" The sound continued, and the True Fire that came into contact with his Sword Qi was suppressed.
Mo Tiange raised her hand. Many immortal flowers and spiritual plants flew out of the Heaven and Earth Fan. The moment they touched the White Silk Handkerchief, they turned into spiritual aura and attached to it.
The mist transformed from the White Silk Handkerchief shone with a white light, and it suddenly became a lot more solid.
The two of them used their own methods while flying forward quickly.
"Haven't they arrived yet?" Master Daoist Yuanmu asked the person next to him with a calm expression.
The one who answered was Ling Shiyu. "There's no movement."
In fact, with Master Daoist Yuanmu's divine sense, he already knew the answer. He only asked this to express his displeasure.
Master Daoist Yuanmu didn't say anything. He raised his head and looked at the Immortal Palace close at hand, remaining silent.
Ling Yunhe hesitated for a moment then took a step forward. "Martial Uncle Yuanmu, that Fellow Daoist Mo has Senior Fu Yao Zi's divine sense protecting her. Can we really hide this from them?"
Master Daoist Yuanmu's gaze was always on the Immortal Palace.
The towering Immortal Palace was made of many huge jades. It had eaves and chiseled axes and knives, giving it a magnificent momentum.
These jades exuded traces of pure spiritual aura — they were actually high-grade spirit stones that rarely appeared in the outside world!
Moreover, they were snow-white in color — they were actually the rarely-seen ice attribute.
"So what if it's Fu Yao Zi's divine sense?"
Yuan Muzhen said slowly, "This is an Immortal's Chance Patriarch, Saint Gui Zhen, specially left for our sect. Back then, they acted separately, so presumably, Fu Yao Zi also didn't know about it."
"But …" Ling Yunhe still said, "Disciple thinks that since Senior Fu Yao Zi is known as the number one person in Yunzhong, he must have something unique …"
"Yunhe." Master Daoist Yuanmu glanced at him and said, "Your cautiousness is your strength, but being too cautious will become a weakness.
No matter how powerful Fu Yao Zi is, this isn't his real body.
In the past hundred thousand years, is there really no one who can be compared to Fu Yao Zi?
I don't think so — they just don't have the chance to compete with him. "
"Besides," Master Daoist Yuanmu smiled, showing a smug expression as he looked at the towering Immortal Palace. "When we set foot on the Immortal Path, we have to constantly take risks. Only those who are brave can walk to the end.
The Immortal's Chance Patriarch left behind is definitely worth this kind of risk! "
Ling Yunhe was speechless.
"Yunhe, don't think too much about it."
Ling Shiyu looked at his juniors with an indifferent expression. "Your Senior Uncle Yuan Mu has already made all the necessary preparations. Even if all of us die here, Jiuyan Sect will not fall. The high-level cultivators we've left behind in the sect are enough for Jiuyan Sect to have a foothold in Yunzhong. Besides, there are also the treasures of heaven and earth brought back by those Senior Uncles.
If we succeed, Jiuyan Sect will not only be the number one sect in Yunzhong, but also the number one sect in the world! "
Lingyunhe moved the corner of his mouth and finally said, "Yes, this disciple understands."
Reverend Yuanmu raised his head and looked at the sky again. "It's been three days, and they still haven't arrived. Looks like they've gone to fight over those spiritual treasures."
"This is a good thing."
A cultivator next to Daoist Master Yuan Mu said. He was tall, white-haired, and wore a black iron mask on his face. He was also at the late Nascent Soul stage, but he had been standing silently in the queue.
At this moment, he spoke in a low voice, "This means that they still value the treasures of heaven and earth outside the Immortal Palace, but they don't know what kind of Immortal Fate is inside the Immortal Palace."
Reverend Yuanmu smiled and nodded. "Senior Brother Iron Mask is right. The later they come, the more ignorant they are.
Alright, let's take advantage of this time to make some preparations. Even if we don't succeed, we absolutely can't let others go out! "
When he said the last sentence, his smile disappeared, and his gaze revealed a heavy killing intent!
