Tian Feng nodded and said, "I was supposed to go, but your great-grandfather was the oldest among us and was also our big brother. He replaced me."
Zhou Yang took a deep breath. He couldn't imagine how painful it was for a person to stay in the dark Black Scale Cave for hundreds of years.
"Zhou Yang, if I'm not wrong, you got the Star Soul Stone under the Meteorite Tower, right?" Tian Feng suddenly asked.
"That's right."
"The Star Soul Stone was actually found by your Great Grandfather in the Black Scale Cave. He left the Star Soul Stone there to prevent others from entering the fourth level, and also to find a good owner for the Star Soul Stone. However, I never thought that the person who obtained the Star Soul Stone would actually be you." Tian Feng smiled bitterly after he finished speaking.
"So that's why …"
Zhou Yang felt a little sad.
"Now that a hundred years have passed, the time that His Honor mentioned is obviously here. I don't know what their purpose is, but those who are not of the same race must have different intentions. They have guarded the Black Scale Cave for so many years, so they must have some ulterior motives. I hope you can give up the idea of entering the Black Scale Cave." Tian Feng sighed.
"Senior, since you know that the ancestors of the Zhou Clan are in the Black Scale Cave, then all the more I have to enter." Zhou Yang smiled.
"I knew you would choose this way. Forget it, forget it. Follow me."
Tian Feng shook his head as if he had expected it. He stood up and walked out.
Zhou Yang followed closely behind Tian Feng. Soon, the two of them arrived at a cliff.
"The underground of the Institute of Martial Arts is the Land of Fire. You went there with Su Xin's help last time, but your cultivation was too weak at that time. This time, I will send you in, but how much you can gain still depends on yourself."
Land of Fire …
Zhou Yang remembered the previous experience and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Senior."
"Before that, do you have any other questions?"
Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "I want to know why Senior didn't tell the Imperial City about what happened here since you already regretted it?"
Tian Feng was silent for a while and shook his head. "Zhou Yang, if I tell you that the life and death of the people in the County City are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Imperial City, will you believe me?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yang almost didn't think.
"That's right. At first, I didn't tell the imperial city because I was afraid that I would be implicated. But after a hundred years, I've already become indifferent to life and death. The reason why I didn't tell the imperial city was because I knew that once the news about the Black Scale Cave was spread out, there would definitely be a war between the imperial city and the Supreme Lord, and such a war would only cause the death of the county city. So I didn't tell the imperial city, and even tried my best to cover it up.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Senior, what about the Third Prince?"
"He is an accident, but even if he tells the Imperial City about what happened here, it won't have any effect in the short term. There are many secrets in this world. Unless the Imperial City knows about the existence of the Great Lord, they won't make a move just because of a demon like Xu Zhentian."
When Tian Feng said this, he revealed a worried expression, "Zhou Yang, I know you want to enter the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect, but you must remember, before you have enough strength, you must not attract the attention of others, especially the Third Prince."
"He's also in the Heavenly Dipper Sword Sect …"
Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed. The meaning behind Tian Feng's words was clear. He was telling him that the Third Prince was also cultivating in the Tiangang Sword Sect. This was also the reason why he was with Ye Zhining.
"Alright, there's not much time. Let's go now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Feng suddenly sent a palm strike towards Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang felt his body being enveloped by a cool breeze before he rapidly fell into the abyss. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the cool breeze that enveloped him released a gentle power that lifted his body towards the ground.
In front of him was a long and narrow cave. Even standing a hundred meters away, he could feel a wave of heat. There was no vegetation around, and it was a desolate scene.
%
Without hesitation, Zhou Yang walked into the cave. After entering, he saw that the stone walls were all black and the ground was boiling hot. All signs showed that Tian Feng did not lie to him. This was indeed the entrance to the fire source.
As the temperature rose higher and higher, he finally saw splashes of flames, and in a moment, a river of lava flowing westward appeared in front of him.
Following the lava river, he quickly found the lava lake that Su Xin had sent him to last time. However, this was clearly not the end, because it was all red.
This was only the end of the lava lake, which was the periphery that Tian Feng had mentioned.
With his strength, he was naturally not afraid of this little bit of heat. However, the temperature outside was different from the fire inside his body. He still had to use some Zhen Qi to expel the heat.
"Kid, this place is not bad. Why didn't you discover it earlier?" The dragon spirit's voice sounded in Zhou Yang's mind.
"You finally dared to come out." Zhou Yang smiled.
"Hmph, that's because I'm weaker now. Otherwise, why would I be afraid of that old man?" The dragon spirit said disdainfully.
"Stop bragging. Look at this place. Is there anything strange?"
"Strange? Don't you know that there can only be one thing in the fire source? "
"What thing?"
"Of course it's the fire spirit."
"Fire spirit? What's that? "It was the first time Zhou Yang had heard of such a thing in the world.
"Fire spirit, a spirit of fire. It is born to control fire. However, you don't have to worry. This fire source is not very big. It cannot give birth to a high-level fire spirit."
Zhou Yang nodded and did not ask anymore. He could already feel the fire Zhen Qi inside his body being affected. This meant that this place was enough for him to train. If he went any deeper, it would probably cause damage to his body.
Looking around, he saw that the lava lake before him had expanded to at least three times its original size. There were floating platforms on the surface of the lake.
These floating platforms were not man-made. They were formed by the essence stones underground, which could not be destroyed by the lava. They could also be considered a type of treasure.
Flying onto one of the floating platforms, a wave of heat entered his body and fought against the fire Zhen Qi inside his body.
Although the fire outside and the fire inside his body were both flames, they were not one. In order to fuse them, he had to use the fire Zhen Qi inside his body to devour them and turn them into his own flames.
Sitting down cross-legged, he absorbed the fire power beneath him while circulating the Zhen Qi he had collected to devour the power.
"Although this power is pure, it is too difficult to refine. I'm afraid it won't be enough for me to reach the peak of the ninth tier in three days."
Zhou Yang frowned. There must be a reason why Tianfeng had asked him to come. It was not just to increase his cultivation level.
"Gululu …"
After a while, a huge bubble suddenly appeared in the magma lake. Zhou Yang looked at it and saw a cyclone floating in the bubble.
The cyclone seemed to have a life of its own. After staying in front of Zhou Yang for a long time, it slowly took on a human form. Moreover, it looked exactly like him.
"This should be the fire spirit," Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"That's right. Don't underestimate these things. Otherwise, you will suffer." The dragon spirit laughed.
Of course, Zhou Yang would not underestimate the fire spirit. After all, it was born from fire.
