The opponent of this Primordial Soul Venerable, who seemed to have mastered countless types of celestial fire techniques, was a handsome young man. His technique was rather unique as well. Streaks of light golden Sword Qi emerged from his Primordial Soul body. They were sharp, swift, and flexible like dragons. Some were used to protect his body, while others were used to slash out. He managed to block all the True Fires and extinguish them one by one.
Both sides seemed to be equally matched, and it was hard to tell who was superior for a while. The handsome young man controlled the pale golden Sword Qi and said with a smile, "Although you are known as the Yan Emperor and can control all flames, and your strength is second to none among Primordial Soul Stage Zhenren, my Free Transformation Golden Sword Qi is not an undeserved reputation. It won't be long before our sect's Yang God Zhenren comes to help.
As he smiled, he suddenly shouted. There was the sound of metal clashing and it shook one's mind. It seemed to contain a celestial technique that used sound to interfere with the Primordial Soul. All the True Fires that were attacking him stopped. He immediately took the opportunity to increase his Sword Qi and attack the Yan Emperor. At that moment, the Primordial Soul Venerable, who was known as the Yan Emperor, was in danger.
The Yan Emperor's mind was shaken by the celestial technique. His True Fire slowed down, and he was almost cut down by the sword aura. However, he seemed to have a heart of Dao that was as firm as a rock. He was only stunned for a moment, and countless colorful flames burst out, blocking the Golden Sword Aura at the critical moment.
The Yan Emperor's response was somewhat unexpected to the handsome young man. He thought to himself, "My 'Golden Sound Confusion Technique' is a secret celestial technique passed down from generation to generation. When unprepared, even a Yang God Venerable would be stunned for a moment. How did the Yan Emperor recover so quickly?"
After withstanding the dangerous situation, a proud smile appeared on the Yan Emperor's handsome young face. "Zhong Limei, I have to admit that your Golden Sword Qi is very powerful and that you have many secret celestial techniques. However, it is a pity that you have met me. Today, I will let you see what I am capable of."
As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his right hand and a small and beautiful red lotus appeared in his palm. It was formed from extremely pure and deep flames and did not feel hot at all.
Zhong Limei's expression changed. "Red Lotus Hellfire? You have mastered the Red Lotus Hellfire! "
This was a terrifying fire that could kill most Yang God Venerable who had not gone through the Nine Fires Burning Heart Trial. Zhong Limei did not expect the Yan Emperor to have mastered it before going through the first Heavenly Trial!
Shi Xuan, who was watching from afar, nodded thoughtfully. To be able to master the Red Lotus Hellfire before the second Heavenly Trial, one had to be very powerful or rare techniques. This Primordial Soul Venerable Yan Emperor seemed to have had a lot of luck.
"I am the Emperor of Flames. Of course, I can control the Red Lotus Fire. The Yan Emperor casually threw out the red lotus. His Golden Sword Qi slashed at it, but he couldn't hurt it at all.
The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus had no ranks.
Seeing that the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus was about to burn him, Zhong Limei's expression changed drastically. He was more surprised than afraid. He retracted his pale golden Sword Qi, as if he was going to use all his strength to protect himself. However, suddenly, the pale golden Sword Qi flashed and sliced through the sky, disregarding everything else as it slashed towards the Yan Emperor.
The Yan Emperor did not expect Zhong Li Mei to be so decisive. The Golden Sword Qi that was released from the Yan Emperor's body instantly sliced through the layers of True Fire that were protecting him. At the brink of death, a small crimson cauldron leaped out from the Yan Emperor's body and blocked the golden Sword Qi. The two were destroyed at the same time.
After blocking this fatal blow, the Yan Emperor was shocked to see that Zhong Limei was still unharmed by the Red Lotus Hellfire.
Zhong Li Mei smiled proudly and said, "Ever since I started cultivating, every living being that I've slain with my sword has either done all sorts of evil things or tried to kill me first. I have a clear conscience. Why would I fear your Red Lotus Hellfire? "
Surrounded by the pure red flames, Zhong Limei used his aura to gain the upper hand again. His light golden sword Qi crisscrossed and formed a sword Qi net around the Yan Emperor.
The Yan Emperor was not afraid. "Very good. Zhong Limei, you are a good opponent. It is rare for someone to put me in such a situation. Even the Essence Soul Venerable of the seven sects could not do it! If I did not let you die under my most powerful technique, I would have let you down. "
A huge and majestic throne that was burning with intense flames flew out from his Essence Soul. Then, countless true flames were shot out by the Yan Emperor in a short period of time and gathered in the Yan Emperor's treasure, the Yan Emperor's Throne.
The countless true flames on the Blazing Flame Throne underwent a strange change. They condensed into one and instantly turned into a colorless and pure little flame.
Although the flame was small, it seemed to be the emperor of all flames in the universe as it sat on the throne. It was powerful, terrifying, and noble.
Zhong Limei was not the only one who felt a strong sense of danger. Even Shi Xuan, who was far away, frowned. "This flame is second only to the Five Elements Sect's Purple-Green Tusita Fire in terms of quality. I wonder if it is compared to the Scarlet Thearch's Realm Burning True Fire?"
The Yan Emperor said plainly, "Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire."
The colorless and pure flame burned forward. It seemed slow but was actually very fast. Everywhere it passed, all the Spiritual Qi and space were burned and assimilated into it. Even the laws of the world showed signs of being burned. For a Tier 1 Celestial Art, this was already a very terrifying performance.
When Zhong Limei's light golden sword Qi came into contact with the Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire, it first turned into golden water droplets before burning fiercely as if it was helping it.
Seeing that the Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire seemed to be able to burn anything, Zhong Limei gritted his teeth and was about to use a powerful technique to escape.
However, at this moment, the Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire suddenly stopped a thousand feet away from Zhong Limei.
It did not extinguish. Instead, it burned the space until it crackled. However, it could not burn that bit of space, so it stopped moving.
That bit of space was faintly discernible within the colorless and pure flame. Gradually, one could see that this bit of space contained a sizable world.
"A grotto-heaven!" The Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei exclaimed in unison.
There were seven major sects in the Celestial Realm. Each sect was a legacy left behind by the powerful Lord Of Heaven in the Heavenly Realm. They had a way of contacting the Heavenly Realm. In fact, occasionally, the Lord Of Heaven would descend. Therefore, the difference between a grotto-heaven and a Minor Chiliocosm was not a secret in the Celestial Realm. At least, Essence Soul Venerables had more or less heard about it.
If this bit of space contained a world, it would not be destroyed if it was a Minor Chiliocosm. However, the Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire would not be able to stop the Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire from burning it. After all, its power was very dispersed.
Only a grotto-heaven could stop the Yan Emperor Ten Thousand Days Fire!
The Yan Emperor did not expect his battle with Zhong Limei to burn the entrance to a grotto-heaven. It was a great opportunity. While he was overjoyed, he did not forget to be cautious of Zhong Limei. Zhong Limei was the same!
A grotto-heaven created by a Lord Of Heaven who had at least passed three tribulations was extremely precious to Essence Soul Venerables. With this opportunity, the two of them might be able to pass the four tribulations and ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
After thinking for a moment, the two of them looked at each other and said a name at the same time, "Ruling Fate Star Lord!"
Their voices were filled with fear, ecstasy, longing, yearning, and worry.
In the records of the Celestial Realm, many Venerables had become Lord Of Heaven and ascended. There were also many important people from the Heavenly Realm who descended for various reasons.
Among the latter, there were only a few who had the ability to create a grotto-heaven. The only one who had a reason to do so in the Celestial Realm was the Ruling Fate Star Lord, the Lord Of Heaven who was rumored to have the highest chance of becoming a Grand Luo.
More than six thousand years ago, the head of the Lord Of Heaven in the Heavenly Realm, the Ruling Fate Star Lord, who cultivated the Purple Palace Heavenly Tome of Three Lifetimes, fell into a decline in his Daoist heart. With his peak cultivation of four tribulations, he secretly opened the barrier between the Heavenly Realm and the Daluo Realm and snuck into the Daluo Realm. Not long after, he quietly returned.
It was said that he discovered a secret and was discovered by a few Daoists of the Daluo Realm. In his rage, they sent their wills to kill him.
However, the Ruling Fate Star Lord lived up to his reputation as a Lord Of Heaven who had achieved the Daluo Realm's True Meaning. Instead of dying on the spot, he escaped into the Celestial Realm and disappeared. Even the Daoists could not predict his whereabouts.
In the past few hundred years, the number of important figures who descended from the Heavenly Realm far exceeded the total number of people who descended from the Heavenly Realm. Unfortunately, they still did not find the Ruling Fate Star Lord. As time passed, this incident slowly died down and became a legend that was widely known.
The Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei both loved and feared the grotto-heaven left behind by such a powerful figure. If the secret of the Daoist Lord's wrath was hidden within the grotto-heaven, based on their cultivation level, just a single incarnation of a powerful figure from the Heaven Realm would be enough to kill them, not to mention a Daoist Lord who was high above the rest, had boundless magical powers, and possessed remarkable abilities.
"Let's go in and take a look first. Anyway, no one knows. If there really is a secret, we can muddy the waters and attract the Perfected Masters of the seven sects." At a time like this, it was good to have another person to share the pressure. Of course, silencing them in the future was also a natural choice.
Zhong Limei had the same thought and nodded in agreement. However, the grotto-heaven left behind by the Lord Of Heaven was extremely powerful. The two of them could not do anything to the entrance in a short period of time.
Inside the grotto-heaven, Shi Xuan, who was dressed in a green Daoist robe, appeared.
Shi Xuan could not help but feel that it was strange that a Perfected One with extremely good luck was able to discover the abode left behind by the Lord Of Heaven.
The incident with the Ruling Fate Star Lord had caused too much of a commotion. The Lord Of Heaven who was traveling in the Heavenly Realm had heard about it and gradually spread. That was why Shi Xuan knew about it as well.
To be able to use a cultivation technique that did not contain any Celestial Arts, the Purple Palace Heavenly Book of Destiny of Three Lives, to be able to witness the Great Dao of Destiny's True Meaning when he was still the Lord Of Heaven, it had to be said that the Ruling Fate Star Lord's talent and talent surpassed Shi Xuan's. Of course, it was also because the Big Dipper Dubhe controlled the will of destiny.
"When I first entered the Heavenly Realm, I coincidentally discovered the Ruling Fate Star Lord's abode. It is indeed strange. Although the Yan Emperor's luck was strong, it was far inferior to the luck of the Lord Of Heaven who had descended to search for it. Even they did not discover it. How did he discover it so mysteriously? Unless he was related to the Ruling Fate Star Lord, or was secretly guided by another expert. "
Shi Xuan speculated as he moved forward in this small grotto-heaven. The Purple Pylon Heavenly Tome of Three Lives of Fate cultivated the Great Daos of Fate and Time, and the Great Daos of Fate and Destruction of Fate had some similarities, and could even restrain it. If Shi Xuan could take a look at this cultivation technique, it would be quite beneficial to him.
This grotto-heaven seemed to have been created in a hurry. The power restriction was concentrated on the grotto-heaven's barrier to prevent it from being discovered. That was why it was pitifully small and did not have any palaces or pavilions. There were only a few things left behind by a river that flowed like time.
