Shi Zhongjian immediately fulfilled his promise and brought Ji Tianxing to see his master.
His master was the Second Elder of the Hidden God Sect, a Soul Refinement Realm expert who had cultivated for four hundred years.
The Second Elder doted on Shi Zhongjian very much. When she learned that Shi Zhongjian had something to discuss with her, she immediately put down whatever she was doing and received him and Ji Tianxing in the living room.
When Ji Tianxing saw the Second Elder, he realized that she was a middle-aged woman. She looked graceful, elegant, and kind.
The two exchanged greetings, and when the Second Elder learned of Ji Tianxing's identity, she was very grateful to him.
After all, Shi Zhongjian had already told the Second Elder about his adventure with Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing exchanged a few pleasantries, and then told the Second Elder the reason for his visit, "Second Elder, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to discuss an important matter with your sect master.
Unfortunately, your sect master is very secretive, so I would like to ask the Second Elder to help me pass on a message. "
The Second Elder nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice, "Young Master Ji, if this old woman can help with this matter, I will definitely do so.
But please understand that our sect master is in secluded cultivation and cannot be disturbed.
Can you please tell this old woman why the Emperor of the Human Race sent you here?
If the matter is very urgent, this old woman can only pass on the message to Lord Sect Master. Otherwise … this old woman cannot rashly disturb the sect master's cultivation! "
Ji Tianxing saw the Second Elder's expression and guessed that she didn't know either.
"Sigh … the Hidden God Sect has hidden this matter very well. Even Elder Lian Er doesn't know that the Hidden God Sect is a subordinate force of the Emperor.
What should we do now that the sect master of the Hidden God Sect is in secluded cultivation? "
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly and sighed in his heart.
After a moment of silence, he looked at the Second Elder with sincere eyes and said in a serious tone, "Second Elder, your sect is a hidden sect and has always been in seclusion. Perhaps you don't know the significance of the Emperor's decree of the Human Race's Emperor.
However, I have to tell you that this matter is of utmost importance. It is even related to the fate and survival of the Hidden God Sect.
As long as you seek an audience with your Sect Master and tell her that the Emperor has sent someone here with a decree, she will definitely know what to do! "
Hearing how serious Ji Yunshu was, the Second Elder was shocked. His eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "Young Master Ji, don't be an alarmist!"
"I swear on my head!" Ji Tianxing said solemnly.
The Second Elder stared at him for a while before nodding. "Alright, this old one is willing to believe Young Master Ji this once. Young Master Ji, please go back and rest. This old one will inform the Sect Master as soon as possible. "
Ji Tianxing was very clear that the Second Elder was only temporarily pacifying him. He definitely couldn't make a decision on his own and would have to discuss it with the Great Elder.
However, he couldn't say anything more. He could only get up and leave.
By the time he returned to his courtyard, it was already late at night.
Shi Zhongjian carried two pots of wine and excitedly ran over to drink with him, but he was stopped by him.
Old Ancestor Three Absolutes was also put into the Sword World.
He sat alone on the roof, bathing in the faint starlight and moonlight. He overlooked the entire Sunless Peak and the vast mountain range around it.
Under the curtain of night, Sunless Peak was exceptionally quiet and serene, as if it had been forgotten by the world. There was a strong sense of loneliness and desolation.
Ji Tianxing suddenly understood. No wonder Shi Zhongjian's personality was so simple, so sincere and passionate to others, and even a little silly at times.
He lived on Sunless Peak for many years and had almost no contact with the outside world. Naturally, he could maintain a simple personality and treat others with sincerity.
Even in the darkness of the night, the vast mountain range around Sunless Peak was still emitting smoke and flames from time to time.
In the deep ravines and mountain streams in the distance, there were also streams of dark red light flowing. That was magma overflowing from the ground.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought silently, "It seems that other than the sect master of the Hidden God Sect, no one else knows about the relationship between the Hidden God Sect and the Imperial Court, much less the existence of the Heavenly Dipper God Fire Cauldron.
I don't know how long it will take for Second Elder to report this to Sect Master Shui.
If that's the case, I can only think of another way and go find it myself … "
Finished speaking, he returned to his room and sat down. He closed his eyes and released his soul power, extending it in all directions to explore the entire Sunless Peak.
His soul power was like an inescapable net that covered the entire Sunless Peak.
Soon, the dozen or so palaces and mansions on the mountain peak, as well as the bricks and stones on the mountain peak, were clearly imprinted in his mind.
He could clearly detect that there were five Soul Refinement Realm experts and dozens of Heaven Origin Realm experts in the palaces and mansions.
Among these experts, the old drunkard guarding the mountain gate was the strongest.
Ji Tianxing was a little puzzled. He repeatedly checked several times, but the result was still the same.
"The sect master of the Hidden God Sect is definitely stronger than the old drunkard. She is most likely a supreme expert of the Primordial Spirit Realm.
But I have searched the entire Sunless Peak and did not detect the aura of a supreme Primordial Spirit Realm expert. It seems that Sect Master Shui is not on Sunless Peak.
But if she is not on Sunless Peak, where could she be cultivating in seclusion? "
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he had a guess.
"That's right! Deep underground!
The Imperial Emperor once said that there is a vast sea of magma deep in the earth's core under Sunless Peak. That Heavenly Dipper God Fire Cauldron is sleeping in the magma sea!
Could it be that Sect Master Shui is cultivating deep underground? Or is she guarding that divine cauldron personally? "
After this thought appeared in his mind, he impatiently manipulated his soul power to pass through Sunless Peak and explore deep underground.
With his current strength, his soul power could cover a hundred miles.
He was confident that his soul could extend a hundred miles and explore the situation deep underground.
However, when his soul passed through Sunless Peak and extended eighty miles, it was blocked by a layer of dark red barrier.
That layer of dark red barrier was like a curtain of flame that stretched across the rock layer underground.
He tried a few times, but he could not break through the barrier and see the situation deep inside.
Moreover, that barrier covered an area of a hundred miles. It was so wide that it seemed boundless.
Ji Tianxing was helpless.
At the same time, he was even more certain that Sect Master Shui was very likely deep underground.
He thought for a moment, then got up and left the small courtyard. He personally entered Sunless Peak and dived deep underground.
In order to not be discovered by the elders of the Hidden God Sect and cause unnecessary misunderstandings, he was very careful.
He restrained his soul aura and slowed down his diving speed. It took him half an hour to reach eighty miles underground.
It was pitch-black all around, and there were scorching rock layers everywhere.
The temperature underground was extremely high. Even those hard rocks that did not melt had a hint of dark red.
Ji Tianxing slowly approached the dark red barrier and prepared to observe that mysterious barrier.
But at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.
