The incomparably tyrannical Extreme Yang Fire broke through Ji Dong's Sacred Flame Saint King Armor and surged into his body, wreaking havoc.
Ji Dong groaned and held his chest with his hand. He opened his mouth and puffed out a gust of hot air. The temperature in the shop soared to more than five hundred degrees.
"Ji Dong, are you alright?" Chen Sixuan's soul rang out in Ji Dong's mind almost immediately. Ji Dong immediately replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just wanted to buy something."
With Ji Dong's reply, the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples outside who heard the commotion didn't charge in.
The red-clothed woman's beautiful eyes revealed some shock. She looked at Ji Dong with some curiosity and furrowed her brows, "Just who are you?" She didn't know which race this person in front of her belonged to. Since he was able to take her attack head-on and didn't seem to be injured, he was definitely not a nobody in the core world. With his cultivation, why didn't he block her attack and instead took it head-on?
Ji Dong really wasn't injured. His Saint-tier body was just too tyrannical. Furthermore, the red-clothed woman's attack just now was just a casual one. She hadn't used her full strength. Even so, he still had to take a few deep breaths to calm his shaken internal organs.
He had indeed taken the attack on purpose. The reason was very simple. He wanted to shatter the pain in his heart. When he saw this person who looked like the Flaming Bar but immediately understood that she wasn't the Flaming Bar, Ji Dong's heart felt as if it had been pierced by ten thousand swords. The pain was so intense that he couldn't breathe. Thus, he would rather take the attack from the woman and develop some resentment towards her. At the same time, he could use the pain in his body to temporarily break free from his thoughts of the Flaming Bar.
"Don't look at indecent things. I'm sorry, I was impolite just now. It's only right for me to take your attack." Ji Dong forced himself to turn his head and not look at the woman. At the same time, he used his soul to convey his intentions.
Hearing his words, the red-clothed woman's eyebrows relaxed a bit. Hyōhime nodded, "At least you understand etiquette. What do you want from me?"
Ji Dong said, "I just saw the ore you placed in front of the door. If I'm not wrong, this ore is exactly the same material as the core elder's token. May I ask, what kind of ore is this and what's the price?"
The red-clothed woman said faintly, "This is the Fire God Stone, also known as the Jade of Earth. It's as famous as the Jade of Heaven in the human world. In terms of quality, it's not as useful as the Jade of Heaven, but inside it, it can condense solid fire elements more than a hundred times its volume. You're not wrong, the Holy Church's core elders all have a token made from it. It's used to store a life-saving skill. As long as you use your own mana to activate it, you can directly release it. My place is the only place in the entire core world that sells Jade of Earth. According to the rules, as long as you take out something of equal value to exchange for it, you can do so. Jade of Earth is divided into three grades. Low grade can store ordinary killing skills and is cheap. Middle grade can store elementary super killing skills. High grade can store advanced super killing skills. The ones you see the core elders have are only middle grade Fire God Stones. I have all three grades here."
"Jade of Earth?" As soon as he heard this name, Ji Dong felt a headache coming on. Without a doubt, the value of this Earth Jade was extraordinary. It was impossible to have a large amount of it. Moreover, he knew that he didn't have anything that could be used to purchase it. He was also a Fire Magic Master. Even if that fatty Zhou Xiao Xiao was here, he would also have a headache.
At the same time, as he calmed down, Ji Dong became more and more interested in the red-clothed woman. It was not because she looked like the Flaming Bar, but because Ji Dong was surprised to find that he could not see the strength of the woman in front of him with his soul power. Based on this, he could be sure that the cultivation of the red-clothed woman was above the Fire Owl King.
The Fiery Lotus Tribe was indeed the tribe of the Flaming Bar. The red-clothed woman's body should be condensed from energy, just like the Flaming Bar. She was only the owner of the shop, but her cultivation had reached such a level. Perhaps she was comparable to the Tai Chong Lord, Lin Qing. Using human standards, she should be at least level 97, or even level 98.
Ji Dong sighed and shook his head, "I don't know if there's anything of this value that I can exchange with you."
The red-clothed woman was stunned for a moment. Her gaze towards Ji Dong changed. She said faintly, "Then don't waste my time." Then, she turned around and was about to leave. Ji Dong hurriedly said, "Wait."
The red-clothed woman stopped and turned to look at him, "What else do you want?"
Ji Dong said, "How about this. Tell me what you want, and I will try my best to find it for you. I need a large amount of Jade of Earth."
The red-clothed woman glanced at Ji Dong coldly and said, "A large amount of Jade of Earth? Don't tell me you want to start a war? "
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "No, of course not. At the very least, I don't want these Jade of Earth to be used here. If I told you that I am a friend of the Fire Lotus Tribe, would you believe me?
As he spoke, he looked straight at the red-clothed woman again. At the same time, he took off the mask on his face.
The red-clothed woman was clearly stunned when she saw Ji Dong's face. In the core world, the Fire Lotus Tribe looked almost the same as humans. In fact, they were almost perfect humans. However, only the Fire Lotus Tribe was like this. The Fire Lotus Tribe also had a special characteristic. They were all women. When the red-clothed woman saw a man like Ji Dong, a strange feeling immediately arose in her heart. This was especially so when she saw Ji Dong's clear eyes. There was no pretense at all, only sincerity.
However, the red-clothed woman's cultivation was shocking. She was only stunned for a moment before she returned to normal.
"You are a human?" An ice-cold murderous intent was instantly released from the red-clothed woman's body.
Ji Dong nodded calmly and said, "That's right, I am a human. Moreover, I am one of the elders who will be participating in the Acting Leader Selection Meeting. According to the rules of the Holy Church of the Flaming Bar, even if you are a human, as long as you come to the fifteenth level with a token, you can participate in the Holy Church's celebration. Am I right? "
The red-clothed woman withdrew her murderous intent and said in a low voice, "You seem to know a lot."
Ji Dong nodded silently and acknowledged her words. He said, "I want the Jade of the Earth to bring it back to the human world. There will be a great war in the human world soon, so I need the Jade of the Earth."
The red-clothed woman said, "My name is Hong Yan. If you want the Jade of the Earth, sure, but I have one condition. The great god of the Holy Church of the Flaming Bar, the great totem of the Red Lotus race, and the ruler of the Core World, Her Majesty the Flaming Bar Empress has been missing for a long time. According to the information I received, she went to the human world and returned to the Core World, which resulted in a huge magical wave. My condition is that you must help me find the reason for Her Majesty's disappearance, or find any traces of Her Majesty. If you can do that, then I will do my best to provide you with the Jade of the Earth."
After hearing her words, Ji Dong couldn't help but be stunned and was momentarily speechless. If this condition had been raised by someone else, then it would have been more difficult than the sum of the three tests that the foolishly rich Hyōhime had proposed. After all, the departure of the Flaming Bar was related to the Celestial Realm. However, this condition had been raised by Ji Dong. Apart from Ji Dong, no one knew exactly what had happened.
Seeing Ji Dong's stunned expression, Hong Yan said plainly, "I also know that this condition is difficult, but it is very important to the Fire Lotus race. Since you are a human and can come here, then you must have the ability to return to the human world. The Fire Lotus race cannot leave this place. If you want to prove that you are our friend, then do your best to help us find this information. Even if you only get some relevant information, I can consider giving you some lower-grade Jade of the Earth. My condition will be valid for a long time until you can bring me all the accurate information."
After saying this, Hong Yan turned around and walked towards the side door that she had appeared from.
"Wait a minute." In a flash, Ji Dong had already arrived beside Hong Yan. He raised his hand to grab her shoulder. In front of him, the Red Lotus twisted her body slightly and made an unimaginable movement with incomparable flexibility. She easily dodged Ji Dong's hand.
When Ji Dong looked at her face again, Hong Yan's eyes were filled with killing intent. She said, "If it wasn't for the fact that you are a human and can help me obtain information, I would definitely kill you. If you dare to touch me again, I will make you regret that you are a living person."
Ji Dong said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was rash. I only wanted to tell you what you want to know. I can give you the answer now."
"What did you say?" Hong Yan's eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.
Ji Dong said in a low voice, "I said, I can tell you everything you want to know now. I'm afraid that in the entire human world, I am the only one who can explain this clearly to you."
Ji Dong had only used a short amount of time to make this decision. He knew that his decision was extremely irrational. If it was another race, he would definitely not make such a deal and expose himself. However, this was the Fire Lotus Castle. This was the race that the Flaming Bar had single-handedly created. The woman in front of him bore a 70% resemblance to the Flaming Bar. This favourable impression was enough for Ji Dong to change his mind. It could even help him make a decision. Based on his rational judgment and his perceptual knowledge, Ji Dong had already made up his mind.
Hong Yan's gaze became cold and severe. An unprecedented killing intent rose from her body as she said, "You must understand the consequences of deceiving the Fire Lotus Clan."
Ji Dong said calmly, "I've never thought of deceiving them. Naturally, I don't need to know the consequences."
Hong Yan nodded and said, "Alright, tell me."
Ji Dong took a deep breath. Unconcealable sorrow flowed through his eyes as he said, "No amount of words is as direct as replaying the scene from back then. Watch."
As he spoke, Ji Dong's eyes had already turned silver. A powerful soul force seeped out from his body. Sensing Ji Dong's incomparably tyrannical soul undulations, Hong Yan could not help but take a step back. Her beautiful eyes revealed a look of disbelief. Although she had previously sensed that the man in front of her was very powerful, Ji Dong's aura had always been reserved. She could also clearly sense that Ji Dong's magic was inferior to hers. However, at this moment, when Ji Dong released his soul undulations, she finally understood that the power of this man in front of her had far exceeded her expectations.
Two rays of silver light shot out from Ji Dong's eyes and landed on the wall in front of him. The silver light was like water as it gently rippled. Gradually, an image appeared within the silver light.
Hong Yan knew that she could not achieve this by relying on soul force, but she understood what Ji Dong was doing. Ji Dong was using his powerful soul force to display the fragments of memories. What kind of powerful soul force was required to achieve this? Feeling Ji Dong's soul undulations, Hong Yan's trust in him increased.
Within the silver light, the image became clearer and clearer. Hong Yan could see that what was being displayed was indeed not the situation of the underground world.
The Holy Evil Island. This was the beginning of the memory that Ji Dong had given her. That scene was when he, Fury, and the others went all out to stop Dark Fate from completing the ceremony. Following that, the Radiant Heavenly Stem Saints appeared, and tragedies that should not have happened happened one after another.
Even though she was watching Ji Dong's restored memories, Hong Yan could clearly feel the immense pressure of the Myriad Lightning Tribulation realm. Just as the man in front of her was about to die, the Flaming Bar appeared.
When Hong Yan saw the Flaming Bar, her body could not help but tremble violently. She took a step back and almost knelt on the ground.
To the Fire Lotus Tribe, the Flaming Bar could be said to be their god of creation. Without the Flaming Bar, they would still be Red Lotuses in the 18th layer of the core. It was because of the awakening of the Flaming Bar that the Fire Lotus Tribe had their current situation. Every member of the Fire Lotus Tribe worshipped the Flaming Bar blindly. Suddenly seeing the existence of the Flaming Bar, how could she not be excited? At this moment, Hong Yan heard a voice in her soul. It was the voice from the Holy Evil Battlefield.

"You are a human who is willing to sacrifice yourself to the darkness. I have never thought of interfering with the affairs of the human world. However, your actions have already threatened the people I love. I can tell you that I am not from the Divine World, and I should not be here. However, I had to come. You have activated the World of Myriad Lightning Calamity, causing the lives of countless people to be plunged into misery and suffering. Today, I will act on behalf of the heavens and destroy your body and soul."
