"What's that sound?!" Huang Mei frowned and stared at the tumbling sea of fire around him coldly. The voice had also entered his mind, and it was still echoing nonstop.
"Su …" the white-robed teenager that was the centipede with one thousand feet said faintly, and a barely noticeable glint shone in his eyes.
Flame Fiends' Progenitor crouched down on Zhu You Cai's body and narrowed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
As for Zhu You Cai, he shuddered lightly and lowered his head to hide the complicated emotions on his face. The appearance of the voice had caused a hint of complicated emotions to fill his heart.
"It is rumored that the master of the fifth kiln is called Su Xuan Yi. He came from the Fifth True World, and it is said that he left with his wife in the past and disappeared. Could this voice be the kiln calling out to its master?" Huang Mei straightened his shirt slightly and said calmly. When he spoke, he looked towards Reverend Zi Long.
Zi Long's expression remained the same. He stared at the sea of fire in space and did not speak.
No one in the area noticed that Su Ming also had his head lowered at that moment. His eyes were closed, and he looked as if he was meditating, but in truth, he was hiding the hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Even they know about Su Xuan Yi. Looks like what Dust Burners' Progenitor said previously was true." After a moment, the indistinct voice that echoed in the area reached Su Ming's ears again.
The word 'Su' lingered for a long time, as if it was truly calling out to him. There was a deep ancient air contained within it, causing all those who heard it to be unable to help but feel their hearts grow heavy.
Soon after, the crowd sank into breathing exercises once more and waited for the sea of fire in space to disappear, allowing the indistinct voice to occasionally reach their minds.
Su Ming had his eyes closed, but his right hand was naturally placed on his storage bag. There was a jade slip on his palm, and its contents were floating in Su Ming's mind at that moment.
The Resentful Wei stood arrogantly beside Su Ming and stared at the area around it with an aloof gaze. It regarded all lives with hostility. Even though they had come to an agreement, the Resentful Wei was still a little unaccustomed to it. However, it could sense that Su Ming truly cared about it.
More importantly, it could sense the same loneliness and grief from Su Ming.
With the Resentful Wei around, Su Ming could be at ease and immerse himself in the map in his head. The map was given to him by Dust Burners' Progenitor, and it contained a rather detailed introduction to the fifth kiln.
There were ninety-nine wisps of fire in the fifth kiln, and it was because of them that the fifth kiln was known as a kiln!
Each lamp contained a supreme treasure, and it was one of the components of the fifth kiln. When ninety-nine supreme treasures were gathered together, they formed the vast power of the fifth kiln.
Over the course of countless years, due to the continuous activation of the fifth kiln, a continuous stream of people came to obtain a serendipity. Gradually, there were also people who truly obtained the supreme treasures. They extinguished the flames and brought the treasures with them.
Because of it, the fifth kiln gradually lost its ability to move. Gradually, it could only stay in a certain spot in the galaxy. When all the supreme treasures in it were taken away, it would break down and disappear into the galaxy.
At that moment, even Dust Burners did not know just how many lamps were left in the fifth kiln and just how many supreme treasures had not been taken away.
Su Ming knew that the goal of the Almighties beside him was none other than the supreme treasures contained in the lamps that still remained.
Besides the ninety-nine lamps, there were also nine hundred and ninety-nine supplementary treasures in the fifth kiln. They were the components that connected the ninety-nine supreme treasures, and not a single one of them could be missing.
Over the years, these supplementary treasures were also the ones that were taken away the most.
The ninety-nine large dimensions were formed by the ninety-nine lamps in the fifth kiln. Then, the nine hundred and ninety-nine supplementary treasures formed another nine hundred and ninety-nine small dimensions. Even if the lamps were extinguished and the supreme treasures in them were taken away, the dimensions would still be around.
Each dimension was a world, and within it were ferocious spirits that protected the treasures. The strength of these spirits varied, and the might of the treasures would also be different.
Perhaps those who possessed solar kalpa would be able to win against and obtain a normal supplementary treasure, but if there were some incredibly powerful supplementary treasures, the ferocious spirits in them would be even stronger.
Even if the treasures in the dimensions were taken away, the dimensions would still be around, and the ferocious spirits in them would still be around. Besides, once they lost their treasures, they would become even more brutal, and they would not rest until they destroyed all the lives that invaded them!
It was even more so for the supreme treasures. The lamps in the dimensions where the supreme treasures were could not be extinguished by anyone who was not a Master of Fate. Also, supreme treasures were also divided into different grades. Based on the information Su Ming had obtained from Dust Burners' Progenitor, he knew that nine of the ninety-nine supreme treasures were the cores of the fifth kiln.
The difficulty of obtaining these nine supreme treasures surpassed all others. It was related to one's level of cultivation, chance, and serendipity.
It was just like what Dust Burners had recorded. Through their unique method, they knew that many years ago, when the kiln was activated, nine people had stepped into a dimension.
It was difficult for them to move even an inch in that dimension, but a scene that made the nine people descend into madness appeared … because there was a main flame in the sky of that dimension. It meant that the dimension was one of the ninety-nine dimensions with supreme treasures, but that was only secondary. The more important thing was that the nine people saw a blade in the lamp!
At the instant they saw it, the voice from the blade echoed in their hearts. It was the blade's name — the Blade of Life Envy.
It was a supreme treasure that could automatically let out a voice and send its name to the people. It was one of the nine core treasures in the fifth kiln that could only be obtained through luck!
It was this blade that had destroyed the nine people in the end. After all, seven of them were Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death. These seven people came from the forces of power from the four Great True Worlds keeping a lookout over Divine Essence Star Ocean. It was also because of their deaths that the four Great True Worlds had given up on their plan to occupy Divine Essence Star Ocean in one go, and they had chosen to keep a lookout over it.
From this, it could be seen just how tempting and powerful the nine core treasures were. In truth, when Su Ming saw this, puzzlement also appeared in his heart.
Why did Su Xuan Yi not bring the fifth kiln with him when he left in the past? If he had brought the fifth kiln with him, then perhaps his life in True Morning Dao World would not have been so miserable.
Su Ming could not understand this. After remaining silent for a moment, he continued reading the introduction of the fifth kiln in the map.
Besides these, there was another type of living being in the many dimensions in the fifth kiln — the Fire Spirits.
They were created by the Abyss Builders and were given the mission to refine the supreme treasures and protect the kiln. Over the course of countless years, some of them gained intelligence and chose to leave to become Dust Burners.
However, the price they had to pay for leaving was that they would lose their powerful offensive abilities as Fire Spirits. Yet even so, there were still quite a number of Fire Spirits who chose freedom. However, there were still plenty of Fire Spirits who did not choose freedom even if they gained intelligence. Instead, they continued carrying out their mission in the fifth kiln.
Similarly, there were also plenty of Fire Spirits who did not possess intelligence. Instead, they drifted about in and out of the dimensions in the fifth kiln in a daze, killing all the lives that did not belong there to maintain the normal operation of the fifth kiln.
As Su Ming continued studying the information regarding the fifth kiln, time slowly passed. When the seventh day passed since the black destructive flames erupted, the monstrous sea of fire that had lasted for nearly a month in Divine Essence Star Ocean disappeared.
There were no longer any flames in Divine Essence Star Ocean. What was left was a wasteland, a world without a hint of green. There were far too many planets that had been reduced to ashes in the sea of fire. There were also far too many floating continents that no longer existed in Divine Essence Star Ocean when the sea of fire disappeared.
There were also far too many living beings and ferocious beasts who died in the sea of fire. What remained was a blank period in Divine Essence Star Ocean. Yet even so, the hidden forces of power in Divine Essence Star Ocean were still not weak, because the powerful ferocious beasts and powerful races naturally had ways to avoid the sea of fire since they could survive in this place. In fact, they had even gotten used to the eruption of the fifth kiln's sea of fire.
Their existences were the foundation of the fifth kiln.
When the sea of fire in the world outside disappeared, the flames that originally existed in the air around the platform in the fifth kiln became dim, but as they did so, all the people, including Su Ming, instantly saw … figures with their eyes closed sleeping in the extinguished flames.
They were … Fire Spirits!
When the sea of fire erupted in the fifth kiln, they were asleep, but once it disappeared, they would gradually wake up. They would carry out their mission and kill all the lives that did not belong in this place.
At the instant they saw the Fire Spirits, the expressions of the powerful Huang Mei and Reverend Zi Long instantly turned solemn. They did not say a single word, because there were far too many Fire Spirits. They were so densely packed together that it was impossible to count their numbers.
They might be asleep, but the mighty pressure spreading out from their bodies was enough to make a person's skin crawl. The Fire Spirits' levels of cultivation varied, but the weakest among them was in Lunar Kalpa Realm!
The strongest among them was an existence that was equivalent to a Master of Fate, Lives, and Death. However, this was not a Realm, but the mighty pressure and combat abilities they gave others.
Fortunately … most of them did not possess intelligence.
However, when they saw that there were quite a number of them whose eyelids were trembling as if they were about to wake up at any moment, they still gave the group a deep sense of pressure.
Huang Mei lifted his head to look at the Fire Spirits and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoists, since you were able to come to this place, then you must have your own understanding of the fifth kiln. There are five of us. If everything goes smoothly, we can occupy five Spirit Trudging Platforms. At that time … heh heh."
At the instant he finished speaking, nine gigantic screens of light suddenly appeared around the platform. They shone with a piercing light, and at the instant that light spread out, piercing howls reverberated in the air. Those were the Fire Spirits that had been slumbering in the air. When they opened their eyes and saw the five people, they let out shrill cries. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me.
