West Earth was vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles. However, Jiang Tian and Huo Yan's movement techniques were too fast. They arrived at the Fire Worship Sect in just a few hours.
The entire Scorching Desert gave people a feeling of desolation, bleakness, and scorching heat. The thousand li of land was barren, and yellow sand rolled about. Black oil seeped out from the ground in this barren land. Rolling flames ignited, and black smoke rose in all directions.
There were also some fire-type demon beasts roaming about. They were as strong as mountains, spitting flames as they ran across the desert.
There were few cities and countries in this place, but the scale was huge. The effect of settlement was obvious. The city walls were majestic and tall, and the population was huge. Moreover, they were all rough and brave people who were good at fighting. Only then could they resist the demon beasts' attacks.
Fentian Valley was located in the depths of the Scorched Desert. It spanned tens of miles and was surrounded by barren mountains and stone walls. They were reddish-brown and looked like red clouds. This kind of stone was called the Rainbow Red Clouds Stone.
The Fire Worship Sect's disciples took advantage of the lack of resources and dug caves on the Red Crimson Cliff to cultivate and live. The caves were densely packed and it was a magnificent sight. Many of the disciples were above the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was no wonder that the Fire Worship Sect was second only to the Golden Roc Temple in West Earth.
In the middle, there were groups of huge flame-shaped pagodas.
All the pagodas were red in color. The tallest one was ten thousand feet tall and the shortest one was a hundred feet tall. They were carved and built in the shape of twisting flames. It was very unique.
Surrounding the flaming pagodas were groups of palaces. The closer they were to the pagodas, the more exquisite and luxurious they were.
"This is the Red Lotus Hellfire Pagoda. It's hundreds of meters deep underground!"
Jiang Tian held Tang Linglong's waist and floated down. Huo Yan followed Jiang Tian and landed. He bowed and cupped his fists. With a flattering expression, he said respectfully, "The Red Lotus Hellfire is the foundation of the sect. It's the essence of the fire spirit!"
"The lowest level outer sect and miscellaneous disciples can only cultivate on the surrounding stone walls."
"Inner Sanctum disciples, on the other hand, can enter the closer group of palaces!"
"Only elite disciples and personal disciples can enter the pagodas to cultivate. However, according to position, talent, and cultivation, the better the talent and the higher the position, the lower the level! But generally speaking, they are on the ground. "
"The underground is the closest to the Red Lotus Earth Fire. Normally, only the sect's elders, hall masters, and sect leaders are allowed to enter!"
He made it sound simple, but Tang Linglong already understood how difficult it was to go underground and get close to the Red Lotus Hellfire.
Seeing Huo Yan's figure, the faces of countless disciples turned solemn. They all walked out of their caves and kowtowed.
"Greetings, Taichu World Venerate, Fairy Linglong, and Huo Yan Sect Leader!"
Now, Jiang Tian had already defeated the three Rulai of Datong, Xuan Ku, and Lian Sheng, and ascended to the position of Revered One of the World. Who would dare to slight him in the slightest?
Once the Revered One of the World was angered, it would be a catastrophe.
To this, Jiang Tian merely nodded and accepted their kowtows.
"In the past, for the sake of obtaining a position close to the Earth Fire, who knows how many great battles have erupted, and how many young talents have died!"
Huo Yan sighed and looked at Tang Linglong enviously.
"My talent is not bad, but it took me 200 years to cultivate to the Early Golden Core Stage and become an elder before I could enter the underground level of the pagoda!
"Miss Linglong is only in her twenties, but she can directly devour the Red Lotus Hellfire. In the history of the Fire Worship Sect, there has never been anyone like her …"
Tang Linglong did not say anything when she heard this. Her eyes were already red, and crystal clear tears were flickering in her eyes.
At this moment, she clenched her teeth and did not allow herself to cry. However, a warm current and sweetness surged in her heart.
She had always been infatuated with Jiang Tian.
However, she also understood that Jiang Tian only had feelings for her as a master and disciple. Moreover, their relationship was too good. She did not have the slightest chance at all.
She even thought that if she dared to reveal even a little more, Jiang Tian might make up his mind and expel her from the sect.
Therefore, she could only hide her feelings in the bottom of her heart. She did not dare to show the slightest bit of her feelings.
Sometimes, she felt very wronged.
Men, even if they were just ordinary rich second-generation heirs, could have multiple wives and concubines. They could have countless mistresses. As long as the wife at home did not fall, the mistresses outside fluttered.
For example, Jiang Tian was the ruler of the four realms. Even the leaders of big countries had to treat him with respect and respect. They could not wait to kowtow to him.
Those top tycoons in the world were not even worthy of carrying Jiang Tian's shoes. It could be said that Jiang Tian had long surpassed the ordinary.
However, Jiang Tian still did not get close to women.
She even knew that her master's wife loved Jiang Tian very much. She even doted on him a little. She had never objected to Jiang Tian having a few more confidantes.
However, Jiang Tian seemed to be a neat freak. He never flirted or gave her any thoughts.
How could she not feel wronged?
Sometimes, she even felt that in Jiang Tian's eyes, she was worthless. She was not worthy of Jiang Tian's attention.
But today, seeing Jiang Tian use endless Red Lotus Earth Fire to forge the Ignis Celestial Body for her, she could not help but be moved.
"I'm afraid that in this life, I will never have the chance to be his woman. But it's not bad to be his favorite disciple!"
Thinking of this, Tang Linglong's heart was filled with sweetness and sadness. It was as if there was a sharp knife stirring, but also as if there was a warm current that gently comforted her.
"Linglong, I will teach you a method to forge the Ignis Celestial Body. I will also teach you a method to control fire."
Jiang Tian smiled and looked lovingly at Tang Linglong. His divine sense moved.
Suddenly, two sets of cultivation methods appeared in Tang Linglong's mind out of thin air.
Tang Linglong said in surprise, "Master, didn't you help me forge the Ignis Celestial Body?"
"No. This Li Fire Immortal Body is only reliable if you refine it yourself! "
Jiang Tian said calmly.
"With my aptitude, how long will it take?"
Tang Linglong's heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling.
"The cultivation method I will teach you is an Immortal Emperor level cultivation method. The cultivation speed will be very fast."
Jiang Tian's eyes flickered. He patted Tang Linglong's shoulder and said,
"You have a hidden Spiritual Root, and it is a little heterogeneous. If you want to forge the Ignis Celestial Body with the Earth Fire, generally speaking, it will take thirty years for you to achieve the Small Success and sixty years for you to achieve the Great Perfection of the Gold Core Realm! I will definitely come to pick you up! "
"Thirty years for me to achieve the Small Success? The cultivation speed of an Immortal Emperor level cultivation method is very fast … Haha! "
Tang Linglong lowered her head and laughed bitterly.
Then she looked up with tears hanging from her eyes and said with a sad smile, "Master, when I see you again, I will already be a little old woman!"
Jiang Tian turned around and looked at the slowly setting sun. He said calmly, "That's right.
"Cultivation knows no time. In my previous life, I had been in seclusion for hundreds of years. Also, a cultivator's appearance is eternal. I achieved the Small Success in thirty years and I was still a cute little girl!
"Also, if your mind is strong and you have no distractions, you may only need three or five years to create a miracle. You will form the Ignis Celestial Body and break through to the Golden Core Realm!"
"But what about my heart?"
Tang Linglong asked.
Jiang Tian looked down and pondered for a while. Then he raised his eyebrows and said coldly,
"Linglong, if the Spirit Qi of Earth recovers, there will be a strong enemy. Earth will be in danger. I am doing this for your own good.
"Besides, the ancient earth and the deity ground were facing the Annihilator, which was a divine-level civilization. I may die in battle. For safety's sake, I must leave the roots of my cultivation method behind. And you are my only hope! "
"Master, you are so cruel …"
Tang Linglong sneered.
"I've already heard that the Dimension Passage between West Land and Earth can only be opened naturally once every sixty years, not even with a Teleport Array. Xianglong and the others used a Dimension Treasure to open it once, but from now on, I'm afraid no one will be able to open it, except for you!
"You left, but left me here!"
"I'm not waiting here for three, five or ten years, but sixty years! You're destroying my feelings for you. You're putting me in jail! "
"Nonsense! This is seclusion, not jail! "
Jiang Tian's sword-like eyebrows knitted together as he scolded.
"If you have the courage to advance, if your Dao Heart is as firm as a rock, you shouldn't think like that! I'm … very disappointed in you! "
"Master, will you let me go and let me follow you if I've never loved you?"
Tang Linglong bent her knees and knelt in front of Jiang Tian. She pulled Jiang Tian's sleeve with one hand and clutched her chest with the other.
"But my heart doesn't listen to me. I can't control it!
"Master, sixty years! You're so cruel! If you think that this heart that loves you is wrong, then cut it out! Take it away! Just let me follow you! "
"Wicked disciple! Shut up! "
Jiang Tian suddenly turned around and didn't want to see her crying face. He was so angry that his body trembled. He had never been so angry before.
"Master, when you were at the death hill, did you plan everything that happened today?"
Tang Linglong asked.
"No! I'm doing this for your own good! "
Jiang Tian flung his sleeves and said angrily.
"Was it after we came to West Land?"
Tang Linglong was stunned and mumbled, "Master, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid to face me? "
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said excitedly,
"Is it because I killed Feng Ao and the others without any regard for my own safety that day? Did it move you? Did it make you waver? "
"Yes, you wavered! You love me because of pity. Your heart is in chaos. You're afraid that you can't control your feelings for me. You're afraid that you'll let Master's wife down, right? "
"Silly child, I respect you. I don't want to let you down. That's right!"
Jiang Tian slowly turned around and wiped away her tears. Tenderness flashed in his eyes as he said gently,
"Linglong, cultivate well. Master succeeded because of you!"
"But …"
Tang Linglong felt as if she was melted by Jiang Tian's gentle gaze. Her viciousness dissipated, but she was still a little unwilling and wronged.
"Linglong, a person's potential is limitless. You might be able to create an immortal body in an even shorter time!"
Jiang Tian comforted her.
"Although White Beard, Huo Yan and the others can't break the space barrier by force, I taught them the method to communicate with me through the space barrier. As long as you create an immortal body, let them inform me and I'll come to pick you up immediately, okay? "
"Moreover, if you cultivate the Ignis Immortal Body and condense the Gold Core, even if I don't come to pick you up, you'll be able to tear this thin space barrier! Heaven and earth will no longer be able to restrain you. "
"Master, I'll listen to you! But you have to remember your promise … "
Tang Linglong's delicate body trembled. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
She knew how strict Jiang Tian was. If she dared to pester him again, she was afraid that Jiang Tian would really expel her from the sect.
"When have I ever broken my promise to you?"
Jiang Tian touched Tang Linglong's head and smiled gently.
Then, a trace of determination flashed across his face. He stepped into the air and turned into a golden rainbow that pierced through heaven and earth. Soon, he disappeared from Tang Linglong's sight.
Tang Linglong scanned her surroundings. The desolate desert, the barren mountains, and the unfamiliar faces were full of fear. She could not help but feel a trace of sadness and loneliness that could not be dissipated.
But in her heart, she did not regret meeting Jiang Tian. She had no regrets.
"Fairy Linglong, let's enter the Red Lotus Hellfire Pagoda …"
Huo Yan, who was beside her, said fearfully.
"Mm!"
Tang Linglong looked away and walked toward the Hellfire Pagoda. She clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind.
I, Tang Linglong, will not leave this pagoda until I reach the Gold Core stage and create an immortal body!
I, Tang Linglong, will definitely create an immortal body and reach the Gold Core stage within five years!
