The clothes on Ji Dong's upper body had already turned into ashes. His black hair was tied behind his back and his eyes were shining with a golden-red luster. On his chest, the Yin Yang Fish that was shining with a dazzling black and white luster was quietly rotating in front of his chest.
Although he had his eyes closed previously, he was very clear about everything that was happening in the outside world. At this moment, he wasn't happy that he had become the acting bishop of the Flaming Bar. Instead, he was looking at the nine Natal Red Lotus Seeds of the Flaming Bar revolving around him in a daze.
"Let's go down." The Fire Spirit King nodded towards the Fire Lotus King. The two Supreme Supreme Elders floated down at the same time and landed beside the two Fire Demon Kings. The four Geocentric Saints looked at each other and nodded. The Fire Spirit King said loudly, "Geocentric Saints greet the acting bishop."
As he spoke, the four Saint-rank powerhouses knelt down at the same time under his lead. Even they had knelt down, how could the Geocentric Saints and the core elders of the other races not kneel down as well?
In an instant, at the entrance of the fifteenth floor of the Geocentric World, apart from the Heavenly Stem Saints, everyone from the Geocentric World knelt down and kowtowed towards Ji Dong.
The Fire Spirit King and the Fire Lotus King both knelt down on one knee. They were the Supreme Supreme Elders of the Flaming Bar and had different statuses, so it was enough for them to kneel down on one knee. However, the Fire Demon King was even more thorough. The two Fire Demon Kings knelt down on both knees and their eyes shone with unconcealable excitement. They actually led the entire race to kowtow towards Ji Dong.
Intense mana waves reverberated in the air. Ji Dong smiled. He could feel the pious aura in the air, especially from the sincere worship from the Fire Demon King and the Fire Lotus Race. However, he felt so sour in his heart. He thought to himself, 'Flaming Bar, do you see this? I finally did it. "
I didn't disappoint you. I've finally inherited your position as the leader of the Flaming Bar Church. I know what you want to see the most. Don't worry, I'll definitely accomplish everything for you. The core needs peace. I won't bring war here, nor will I destroy everything in the core. I'll definitely accomplish what you want. This will never, ever change.
Flaming Bar, I've already helped you solve the problem in the Core World. Can I go look for you soon? Don't worry, I'll do my best to nurture an expert who's strong enough to take over the position of sect leader. Then, I'll find ten types of wine and settle the matter of the Five Elements Continent. When that time comes, I'll be able to find you in peace.
Ten years is a long time. I can't wait. I really can't wait. Do you know how much suffering I have to endure every day?
Chen Sixuan looked into Ji Dong's eyes. At this moment, wasn't her heart fluctuating just like Ji Dong's? 'My Ji Dong, you've finally inherited my position in the core world. Even though you're not strong enough now, I believe that one day, you'll become stronger than me. You have many qualities that I don't. Hurry up and become stronger. With the core world as your backing, even if we lose the war in the Surface World, you'll still have a place to stay, won't you? This is what I hope to see the most. From the day I became Chen Sixuan, your safety has already surpassed the core world in my heart. I'm no longer the queen of the core world, I'm just a little woman who loves you. '
"Hey, Sixuan, don't look at me. Your eyes are dripping with tenderness." Miao Miao nudged Chen Sixuan lightly and chuckled.
Weren't the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples the ones who experienced the most emotional ups and downs? Who would've thought that the final outcome would be like this? They thought that Ji Dong was going to die in the hands of the Fire Devil King. Who knew that not only did Ji Dong come back from the dead, but he also became the acting sect leader of the Holy Church of Flaming Bar and the ruler of the entire 18 levels of the core world in such a short period of time. Do you dare to believe it?
Fury smiled. "Little Junior Brother's identity as the son-in-law of the Earth's Core has finally taken effect. I thought we were going to be stuck here. Little Junior Brother has gained another title. I think he probably doesn't even remember how many titles he has now."
Yao Qianshu let out a long sigh and said, "No matter what, we've finally passed this hurdle."
Ji Dong slowly landed on the ground. After the two Great Sovereigns' imprints completely fused with his body, all the skills of the two sovereigns were imprinted in his mind. Some of them were skills that he knew before, and some that he didn't know before. At the same time, his mana had finally broken through to level 86. As for the experience of actual combat and mana control, it wasn't something that could be measured by levels. To him, the battle with the Advanced Saint-tier Fire Devil King was more valuable than the increase in his mana level.
"Everyone, get up." Ji Dong's calm voice could be heard clearly by every Earth's Core expert.
If Ji Dong didn't become the acting leader of the Earth's Core World, none of the Earth's Core experts would be convinced by him. To be able to be here, especially those who had participated in the selection, every single one of them had a higher mana level than him. However, Ji Dong's incomparably stunning performance in the selection, especially the powerful strength he displayed in the battle with the Fire Devil King, had already earned him the recognition of these Earth's Core creatures. Although his mana wasn't very strong, his overall strength wasn't inferior to a normal Saint-tier expert. The Earth's Core experts stood up one after another and looked at Ji Dong, waiting for him to speak.
Ji Dong said: "Thank you everyone for your love, allowing me to become the acting leader of the Earth's Core World's Flaming Bar Holy Church. However, I want to remind everyone, especially the stronger races, if I find out that there is a civil war between the various races in the future, especially in a situation like extermination, then don't blame me for being ruthless. The celebration is over, all the core elders and the elders who are here to observe the ceremony can return."
With a simple sentence, he sent away the experts who were not on the fifteenth floor. Naturally, they didn't dare to say anything else, and after bowing to Hyōhime, they passed through the passageway between the fifteenth and fourteenth floors. Although Ji Dong, the acting leader, could not completely convince them, but with the support of the three great clans, what else did they dare to say? Especially when the Fire Devil King displayed that was close to blind worship, it made these Earth's Core experts restrain their emotions.
Very quickly, all the Earth's Core experts had left. Ji Dong said: "Fire Devil King, Fire Spirit King, and Fire Lotus King, I want to talk to you."
"Yes, let's go to our castle then." The two Fire Devil Kings said in unison. Perhaps it was because they had fused for too long, but whether it was the way they spoke or the way they walked, they were almost exactly the same.
The Fire Spirit King glanced at the Fire Lotus King and nodded. Ji Dong had just inherited the position of the acting leader of the Holy Church, and he also wanted to understand this human further. He was especially curious about Ji Dong and the Flaming Bar.
The clansmen of the three great clans dispersed, and the two Fire Devil Kings brought everyone, including the Heavenly Stem Saints, back to the Fire Demon Clan's castle.
Compared to the Fire Lotus Clan's castle, the Fire Demon Clan's castle was almost twice the size, and the various buildings inside were also much more magnificent. Moreover, it could be seen at a glance that the Fire Demon Clan's castle had existed for a much longer time than the Fire Sui Clan's.
The Fire Devil King brought everyone back to his living quarters. There was one thing that was similar to the Fire Lotus Clan's. The Fire Devil King's living quarters were also terrifyingly simple, but because of his huge body, his living quarters were also much bigger.
Ji Dong felt the two Fire Devil Kings looking at him fervently, and he couldn't help but find it funny. Were these still the Fire Devil Kings that wanted to enslave and even kill him? Moreover, he could clearly feel that the two Fire Devil Kings' soul ripples weren't fake at all.
The Fire Devil King closed the door, scratched his head, and said, "Leader, I heard that the human world pays particular attention to sitting while talking, but we don't have such a saying here. If you want to sit, I'm afraid you can only sit on the ground." The two of them intentionally omitted the word 'acting', and even seemed to be flattering him.
Ji Dong smiled and shook his head. "It's fine, just stand." As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the Fire Lotus King's pretty face, which was almost the same as the Flaming Bar. "Fire Lotus King, I want to go to the eighteenth floor of the earth's core. How can I get there?"
The Fire Lotus King was stunned for a moment. "The eighteenth floor of the earth's core?"
The Fire Devil King hurriedly said, "Leader, you can't go there. Even we can't survive there for too long. These Earth's Core Red Lotus can't go back after leaving the eighteenth floor. Only the Empress of the Flaming Bar and our two masters can go there. The two masters once said that unless it's a creature that originally existed there, it's impossible to enter without the strength of a Saint Realm Pinnacle. That's the true earth's core."
The Fire Lotus King glared at the two Fire Devil Kings. "You can't go there, but it doesn't mean that Leader can't go there. Don't forget that Leader has the Empress's nine Natal Red Lotus Seeds. With these seeds, it's enough for you to go to the eighteenth floor."
The Fire Spirit King nodded. "Indeed. With the Empress's Natal Lotus Seed as a guard, there shouldn't be a problem."
Ji Dong asked, "You're already the most powerful race in the earth's core world besides the Flaming Bar. I'm very curious. Why did you choose to live in the fifteenth floor instead of the sixteenth and seventeenth floor? Are these two floors as hard to survive as the eighteenth floor?" The Fire Spirit King nodded. "It's not that it's hard to survive, but the fire element in those two floors is different from the floors above.
The Fire Spirit King nodded and said, "It's not that it's difficult to survive, but the fire elements in those two layers are different from those in the upper layers. The sixteenth layer is also called the Dark Flame Layer. The entire sixteenth layer is pitch-black and is composed of endless dark flames. The purity of the dark flames is like the ultimate skill of the Dark Flame Devil King. Apart from Her Majesty the Flame Empress, only the Dark Flame Devil King can survive there for a long time. Among the three great clans, the Fire Spirit Clan and the Fire Lotus Clan have both Yin and Yang attributes, so they naturally can't live there. Although the clansmen of the Fire Demon Clan have the dark flame attribute, if they want to cultivate there, they need to be at least High Saint Realm and above, which they are far from being able to do. So naturally, no one lives there. The seventeenth layer is the Bright Flame Layer, and the situation is similar to the sixteenth layer.
After listening to the words of the three Supreme Elders, Ji Dong couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Since the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth floors are so dangerous, how did he survive when he reached the eighteenth floor without any mana? Although the eighteenth floor brought him a lot of pressure and such a rich fire element, he didn't feel that his life was threatened. As he thought about it, Ji Dong raised his doubts.
The Fire Lotus King was obviously the most qualified to answer his question. Among the Supreme Elders, only he had lived on the eighteenth floor. He sighed softly and said, "Then it must be Her Majesty's protection. When you first arrived on the eighteenth floor, Her Majesty must have already discovered your identity as a human before you were teleported over. Hence, she used her own power to suppress the terror of the eighteenth floor. After that, every time you were teleported over, Her Majesty used the same method to suppress the terror of the fusion of Yin and Yang on the eighteenth floor, allowing you to survive there and absorb the pure fire element there. If I'm not wrong, the environment on the eighteenth floor will gradually become stronger as your power grows. That way, you will always feel the appropriate pressure and absorb enough fire element."
Ji Dong's heart trembled. That's right. In the past, every time he went to the core world, he would either be cultivating or paying attention to the Flaming Bar. He never paid attention to this. After the Fire Lotus King's reminder, wasn't it just as she said? The environment on the eighteenth floor had always given him the same feeling. Furthermore, his cultivation had increased countless times from the time he first arrived until the time he fought Shupnus in the Flaming Bar. The fact that the feeling didn't change proved that the environment had changed. When he thought about this, Ji Dong couldn't help but tear up. 'Flaming Bar, you've done so much for me silently, but I've never discovered it. I'm so stupid.'
The Fire Lotus King continued, "After seeing your soul's memory, I'm even more certain of this. You couldn't have survived on the 18th floor. Otherwise, after the battle between the Empress and the Sky God, she wouldn't have used her power to send you back to the surface world."
