Chapter 617: Why are you chasing me?
There really was a hidden world inside the cave. The space inside was quite vast, as if it was another small forbidden area of fire.
However, this small forbidden area of Fire Abyss is home to large tracts of flame mulberry trees. It looks like a sea of fire with no end in sight.
In these vast tracts of flame mulberry forests, there are many red flame fire silkworms breeding and growing. When the soul "glances" over, most of what it "sees" are less than a hundred years old, but it still "sees" a thousand-year-old red flame fire silkworm.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but be overjoyed.
With just this "eye" you can see a thousand-year-old red flame fire silkworm. If you go deeper into this flame mulberry forest, you will definitely find more thousand-year-old red flame fire silkworms.
Just when Qin Ziling was overjoyed, a roar suddenly came from deep in the flame mulberry forest.
Then, an overwhelming and powerful flame aura that seemed to be able to burn the sky and boil the sea rose into the sky from the depths of the flame mulberry forest and swept towards the location of Qin Ziling's soul.
Then, the soul saw a fire rock beast over thirty feet long walking out from the depths of the flame mulberry forest.
The aura of this fire rock beast is extremely powerful, and has reached the level of a fifth-grade True Immortal.
Not only that, this fire rock beast is different from the fire rock beasts walking back and forth at the cave entrance and the outskirts of the flame mulberry forest. It seems to be able to "see" the existence of souls.
The Fire Rock Beast suddenly spewed out a flame at the soul from a distance.
The flame was golden and emitted an extremely terrifying aura.
Before the flames arrived, Qin Ziling's soul felt as if he was about to melt like ice and snow.
"What kind of fire is this? It's so powerful!" Qin Ziling's soul quickly escaped from the cave.
"This is the true fire of the sun." The voice of the fire dragon sounded in Qin Ziling's mind.
"Senior, you woke up at the right time. I was just about to wake you up." In the Niwan Palace, Qin Ziling's soul said to the fire dragon.
"I feel the breath of the Sun's True Fire. This is most likely the demise place of a powerful Golden Crow from ancient times. The powerful Golden Crows from ancient times could absorb the Sun's True Fire and refine it into their bodies. After their demise, the Sun's True Fire would sink into the earth." said the fire dragon.
"Can this true sun fire be collected?" Qin Ziling's heart skipped a beat when he heard this and asked.
"Don't think too much. Fire can burn everything. It is the most chaotic and violent energy in the world. The Sun's True Fire is one of the most powerful divine fires in the world. Not to mention you now, even if a Taoist who practices fire-based techniques comes here, he can't take the Sun's True Fire.
Unless he is a Taoist immortal with the body of a Golden Crow, or he has practiced the Great Sun Golden Flame Art, and his body is strong enough, it is possible for him to collect the Sun's True Fire. However, the Golden Crow was almost , and the Great Sun Golden Flame Art has long been lost, so no one can collect the Sun's True Fire. Otherwise, someone would have collected it long ago, so why would they just seal it? "The Fire Dragon replied.
"You said someone sealed this place?" Qin Ziling asked in surprise.
"Of course, if it is not sealed, the true fire of the sun will continue to generate ordinary fire, and then spread. The surrounding area of millions or even tens of millions of miles will become a sea of fire. Now that you can come in, it must be that the seal cannot completely seal the true fire of the sun, and can only release some fire from time to time." The fire dragon suddenly stopped here, holding his head with his dragon claws, his only eye revealing a hint of pain, and he talked to himself.
"How could I know that the Golden Crow had almost become extinct in ancient times, and how could I know that the Great Sun Golden Flame Art had been lost? Why do I know all this, but I can't remember who I am?"
"Don't be anxious, senior. Don't be anxious. Wait until your strength recovers slowly. Sooner or later you will remember it." Qin Ziling saw that Huolong's old illness had recurred and hurriedly comforted him.
“Okay.” Fire Dragon said helplessly, no longer thinking about the problem that gave him a headache, but thought for a while and said: “You can’t take away the true fire of the sun, but you can gather some of the true fire floating between heaven and earth here to temper your Fire Crow Sword.
The Fire Crow Origin and the Three-legged Golden Crow, the powerful Fire Crows in ancient times were also able to cultivate the Sun's True Fire, but they were no longer able to do so later. The Fire Crow Sword was originally made by borrowing some of the Fire Crow's Taoist methods. If it can be tempered with the Sun's True Fire, its quality and power will definitely be improved."
"How to gather the true fire of the sun?" Qin Ziling couldn't help but asked happily when he heard it.
He has nine Fire Crow Swords. He has recently acquired a large amount of wealth and has continuously improved them, allowing them to reach the level of mid-grade immortal weapons. When all nine swords are used together to form a sword formation, the power is much stronger than before, but it is only infinitely close to the level of top-grade immortal weapons and still cannot break through the boundary between mid-grade and top-grade.
If it can be tempered with the true fire of the sun, the quality and power will be further improved, and the power of the sword formation will be very considerable. It is estimated that it will definitely be a top-grade immortal weapon.
"We need to set up the Ten Directions Fire Array, but the true fire of the sun is extremely powerful, and ordinary array stones cannot withstand it. At least we need to use ores that can be used to refine high-quality immortal weapons." said the fire dragon.
"Is the Red Sky Mysterious Stone feasible?" Qin Ziling asked.
As he spoke, Qin Ziling's soul and the fire dragon appeared in the Fire Sun Land in the south of the Cave World. There stood a stone pillar that was red with a hint of blue. It was the Chitianxuan Stone Pillar.
"When did you get such a piece of Red Sky Mysterious Stone?" Fire Dragon asked in surprise.
"Just half a day ago." Qin Ziling replied.
"With this Scarlet Sky Mysterious Stone Array, there won't be any problems." The Fire Dragon nodded, and then said, "I need to feel where there is more free Sun True Fire in the world."
"This forbidden area will be closed again in about five days. How long will it take to refine the sword using this method?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Half a day is enough. If it takes longer, even if I integrate some Red Sky Mysterious Stone into your Fire Crow Sword, its quality will not be able to withstand the high concentration of the Sun's True Fire." The Fire Dragon replied.
"Okay, I understand. I'll start working after I've settled the two people beside me." Qin Ziling replied, thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Shi Mian and his wife next to him.
"This place is dangerous, so I can't take you in. It's also dangerous for you to wait here. So, I'll give you two options and you can make your own choice." Qin Ziling said.
"We husband and wife will obey your arrangements in everything." Upon hearing this, Shi Mian and his wife bowed quickly.
"Although I have saved you, you still have to make your own choice." Qin Ziling waved his hand, and then continued: "One plan is that you should carefully leave the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land now and wait for me on the reef island where we stayed before. If I catch the thousand-year-old red-flame fire silkworm, I will go out to find you and give you one or two. You can use this thousand-year-old red-flame fire silkworm to go to Jiuxuan Mountain, worship under Xuanyan Peak, and become an outer disciple.
The second option is that you still have to leave the Fire Abyss Forbidden Land now, and then rush to the Wuji Fairy Island in Pingyu Mountain, and join the Wuji sect. I will give you a token, and they will receive you. "
"Is the benefactor from Wuji Sect?" Shi Mian asked.
"That's right." Qin Ziling nodded.
"Since our benefactor comes from Wuji Sect, then we will definitely choose to rush to Wuji Fairy Island and become Wuji Sect's disciples." Shi Mian and his wife said without hesitation.
"Okay, it's thirty million miles from here to the blessed land of Pingyu Mountain. The journey is long and dangerous, and it can be regarded as a test for your entry." Qin Ziling was not at all surprised by the choice of Shi Mian and his wife, and nodded.
"Yes! Let's set off now. Take care, benefactor." Shi Mian and his wife bowed.
"Okay! Be careful on your journey." Qin Ziling nodded.
Shi Mian and his wife quickly left this dangerous place.
After Shi Mian and his wife left, Qin Ziling crossed the canyon, carefully restrained his breath, and entered the cave.
The powerful Fire Rock Beast had already returned to the depths of the Flame Mulberry Forest, and only some relatively ordinary Fire Rock Beasts were patrolling back and forth outside the forest.
Qin Ziling restrained his breath, and as long as they didn't get close to them, they would ignore Qin Ziling, the outsider.
"Senior, how is it here?" A vortex appeared between Qin Ziling's eyebrows, and the shadow of a one-eyed fire dragon's head poked out.
"The scent of the sun's true fire is very strong here! Hey, there's also a lot of pure yang energy here! This is the Flame Mulberry Forest, there must be thousand-year-old red-flame silkworms here." The fire dragon, who had always been half-awake, suddenly opened his sleepy eye wide, revealing a hint of surprise.
"Hehe!" Qin Ziling smiled proudly.
At this moment, a roar was heard again from the depths of the flame mulberry forest, and then the powerful fire rock beast appeared again.
As soon as he saw the fire rock beast appear, Qin Ziling's expression suddenly became serious.
The aura of that Fire Rock Beast was as strong as that of a fifth-grade True Immortal, and Qin Ziling's current combat power was also at the level of a fifth-grade True Immortal. Even if he was relatively powerful, it would not be easy to kill this Fire Rock Beast.
Moreover, Qin Ziling's intuition told him that there must be more than one such fire rock beast in the depths of the flame mulberry forest.
Qin Ziling can still handle one or two, but if there are more, he will be helpless.
Just as Qin Ziling looked solemn, the shadow of the one-eyed fire dragon's head suddenly swelled and grew larger, and a tremendous, domineering and majestic aura filled this cave world.
The Fire Rock Beasts patrolling around suddenly lay on the ground, not daring to move, while the powerful Fire Rock Beast slowly lowered its head and then actually retreated.
"This..." Qin Ziling was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"It's just a fire beast derived from the true fire of the sun transformed by the three-legged golden crow. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me!" said the fire dragon with disdain.
Looking at the fire dragon's disdainful expression, Qin Ziling was really frightened by him at first, but he soon understood why the fire rock beast retreated in shame.
That's because it has no soul and no intelligence.
It felt the breath of the fire dragon, but it didn't understand that this old guy was now just an empty shell and had lost his real ability.
With the one-eyed fire dragon, a powerful figure who had lived for who knows how many long years, by his side, Qin Ziling went deep into the flame mulberry forest smoothly.
Just as Qin Ziling expected, there must be more than one or two thousand-year-old red-flame fire silkworms living in such a large flame mulberry forest.
In just one hour, the fire dragon consumed fifty thousand-year-old red-flame fire silkworms, one of which was even eighteen hundred years old.
The fire dragon no longer values those under a thousand years old.
Qin Ziling collected about a hundred Red Flame Silkworms that were between five hundred and a thousand years old, as well as five thousand-year-old Red Flame Silkworms. After keeping them as backup, he stopped catching Red Flame Silkworms.
Since he already knew this place, which was the best private breeding farm of Wuji Sect that bred thousand-year-old Red Flame Silkworms, catching all the younger ones would be like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and draining the pond to catch the fish, wouldn't it?
"cracking!"
When Qin Ziling and the fire dragon were about to move forward and consume more thousand-year-old red-flame fire silkworms, a bird cry came from deeper in the flame mulberry forest.
The bird's cry seemed to come from underground. It was like muffled thunder at first, but soon became louder and sharper.
Soon, a ball of golden flame rose like the sun in the depths of the flame mulberry tree, and a black three-legged bird stood in the golden sun.
An extremely terrifying aura swept through the cave world with the appearance of this three-legged bird wrapped in golden light and flames.
The place where the three-legged bird appeared was twenty miles away from the man and the dragon.
The three-legged bird gently flapped its black wings with golden flames. It stared at the fire dragon floating in the void with a pair of eyes with black irises but two balls of golden flames burning . Its aura was many times stronger than that of the fire rock beast that had just retreated in disgrace.
Even though the two sides were more than twenty miles apart, the aura of the three-legged bird still made Qin Ziling feel like he couldn't breathe, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead bit by bit.
The fire dragon stared at the three-legged bird with its one eye for a long time before saying awkwardly, "Okay, Ziling, let's stop here."
"Senior, didn't you say that the fire beasts here are..."
"Hehe, this is not a derived and illusory fire beast, it is a fire spirit, carrying a trace of the remaining consciousness of the three-legged golden crow!" said the fire dragon, touching the wide and short nose with its dragon claws.
"Okay then!" Qin Ziling glanced at the fire dragon.
This sight made the Fire Dragon very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
Who makes him the master? Who makes him have to rely on him for support!
I can only blame myself for being too arrogant just now!
The man and the dragon retreated, and the golden ball of light carrying the three-legged bird gradually sank into the depths of the flaming mulberry forest.
After retreating fifteen miles, the Fire Dragon said, "Let's set up the formation here, gather the true fire of the sun, and temper the Fire Crow Sword."
"Will setting up a formation here attract that..."
"It dares? Ahem, then move back a little further."
The man and the dragon retreated another fifteen miles, and then the fire dragon took ten two-foot square pieces of Chi Tian Xuan stone from the Chi Tian Xuan stone pillar, carved on them for a long time, and then placed them in ten directions.
Two hours later.
In an open area somewhere in the Flame Mulberry Forest, a ball of golden flame appeared in the air. From a distance, the flame looked like a golden sun.
In the golden sun, there are nine three-legged crows whose figures are constantly twisting and changing.
Outside the golden sun, Qin Ziling sat cross-legged. Under the guidance of the fire dragon, he was constantly making hand gestures and sending out magical seals and runes towards the nine three-legged crows.
More pieces of cut Red Sky Mysterious Stone kept flying up from Qin Ziling's side and merged into the nine three-legged crows.
Half a day later.
The golden sun in the sky was still there, but the nine three-legged crows had disappeared, replaced by a small hill.
The hill was shrinking under the burning of the golden flame, and more and more Red Sky Mysterious Stones were thrown into it.
…
At the edge of the cliff, a flash of purple lightning appeared, revealing a woman in purple.
The woman in purple stood on the edge of the cliff, looking around. Next to her stood a little girl with a pair of pigtails.
"The atmosphere here is a bit weird, Sister Ranyue, you have to be careful!" Two flashes of lightning shot out from the little girl's eyes, sweeping across the canyon and the boiling and surging river of magma below the canyon.
"Yeah!" The woman in purple, Yin Ranyue, nodded calmly, then raised her foot and prepared to step off the cliff.
"Who?" At this moment, the little girl, Lei Xiao, shouted softly, and then turned into a purple lightning dragon and coiled up Yin Ranyue. Purple lightnings moved on the dragon's body, making people's scalps numb and their hearts tremble with fear. They didn't dare to get close at all.
"The Dao treasure is indeed the Dao treasure. Even if it has been seriously injured and its quality has been damaged, it has truly touched the existence of Heaven's Dao after all! In this place where the aura of heaven and earth is chaotic, you will find it if I get a little closer." A slow voice sounded, and then an old man in black and a woman in white palace dress came from a distance.
"Sixth-rank True Immortal!"
When the purple lightning dragon coiled around Yinran Yue saw the old man and the woman appear, its eyes flashed with lightning. Purple lightning appeared out of thin air and struck the old man and the woman densely. At the same time, the purple lightning dragon rolled up Yinran Yue and turned into a purple lightning bolt that was about to break through the air.
The old man sneered disdainfully upon seeing this, and raised his hand. Suddenly, the space where the purple lightning was located seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force and kept shrinking.
A purple dragon was twisting and struggling inside, emitting purple electric light, trying to break the shackles formed by the invisible force.
From afar, a transparent ball appeared in the air, filled with purple electric light.
"The various forces in this place are very chaotic, and it's full of firepower riots. It's a great place to destroy corpses and cover up traces!" The old man in black and the woman in palace dress walked leisurely towards the transparent sphere floating in the air, which was full of purple electric light.
However, there was a hint of solemnity in the eyes of the old man in black that was not easily noticed by others.
"Destroy the body?" A girl's voice with a childish and sarcastic tone came from the transparent energy sphere: "With me here, can you destroy it?"
“Lei Xiao, you are also the spirit of a Taoist treasure, while the other party is just an earthly immortal in the realm of infant immortal, and she also has mental demons. Choosing her as your master is simply throwing a pearl into the dark! You might as well follow me, I will definitely make you recover as before soon!” said the old man in black .
"Follow you? Do you have the physique of thunder spirit root?" Lei Xiao asked disdainfully.
"Although I don't have the physique of thunder spiritual roots, I am powerful and at a high level!" replied the old man in black.
"So what? You don't have the physique of thunder spiritual roots. Even if you become a Taoist immortal, at most you can only restore me to my original state, but you can't let me go any further! Besides, do you think I would like a sinister and cunning old man like you?" Lei Xiao said with more disdain.
"Lei Xiao, why are you doing this? I can't destroy the Taoist treasure, but I can destroy you. You have finally developed spiritual intelligence, are you really willing to die with Yin Ranyue?" The old man in black sneered.
"Who are you? Why are you chasing me?" Yin Ranyue's voice rang out.
"Lei Xiao, my patience is limited. I'll count to ten. If you don't make a choice, I'll have to bear the pain and destroy you." The old man in black did not answer Yin Ranyue, but said coldly, and then a thin white bone needle appeared in front of him.
