If one was a Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator, he would only need to use his mana to activate the earth fire and create a Heavenly Furnace.
Other than the fact that it would take a long time, there was nothing special about it.
However, if one did not have the ability of a Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator, it was not impossible.
For example, Zhang Yan's Dragon Country Sea Boat was originally made by the Yin Family of East Ocean. It was also made with the Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace. The ancestors of the Yin Family found a natural cave and used a clever technique to bring up the earth fire.
This was using the geographical power to make it his own.
Although there were still many unsatisfactory aspects, with this furnace in hand, many sects were envious.
This technique was not secret, the key was to find the right place. In the Donghua Continent, all such places were occupied by sects of all sizes. The eastern boundary of the East God House stretched for tens of thousands of miles. It was vast and sparsely populated, but there was no need to worry about people obstructing it.
Zhang Yan walked around the mountain for more than half a month. He explored dozens of caves in the river but none of them were satisfactory. On this day, he came to a cave.
Coincidentally, this was the location of the Desolate Tomb where Zhang Boyan had caught the Ghost Sunflower.
Zhang Yan stepped on the cloud and looked up for a while. He pointed and a few formation flags floated down.
He was used to being cautious. Although there were no living people here, he still set up a protection restriction within a radius of more than ten miles.
After everything was ready, he took out a set of flags that he had refined in advance. He spread out his hands and inserted them into the mountain ridge. He then activated the incantation. There was a puffing sound and immediately, dozens of green smoke spurted out from the flags.
He made a gesture and used his spiritual opportunity. After a while, the smoke condensed into a hundred cranes with bright feathers. The cranes cried out. As soon as they came out, they spread their wings and flew into the cave. Then, they floated away and landed on a nearby mountain. They sat cross-legged and waited there patiently.
Previously, after Zhang Boyan captured Ghost Kui, he also ordered the devil to go down and take a look. After walking for several hours, he still hadn't reached the end. He didn't know how deep it was, but if he went any deeper, the demon would lose his senses. He didn't see any strange flowers or plants. Therefore, he was not in the mood to investigate further. He withdrew his Dao technique and retreated.
After the Smoke Crane left, there was no news of it for three days and nights. However, this object was inscribed with a talisman seal, and then used the banner to materialize. Although it didn't have any magical abilities, it could still rely on the magic power attached to the banner. However, it was enough for him to fly for half a month, which was why Zhang Yan was not anxious.
After another day, he suddenly heard a strange noise and opened his eyes to look to his left. One of the banners ignited without any fire and turned into a pile of ashes in an instant.
His expression changed. He pinched his fingers and calculated. A moment later. He smiled and said, "This saves me a lot of trouble."
Just Now, the smoke crane was actually being burned by the Fire Qi. That was why the banner was instantly burned. This meant that this cave could reach deep into the earth. This was a good thing for him, as it would make it much easier for him to draw out the earth fire.
He stood up and turned into a ray of sword light, shooting down into the cave like lightning.
Previously, he had already tried to find out that there was nothing wrong with the cave, so he flew very quickly. In less than two hours, he felt as if he had entered a furnace. The walls were red, sparks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air. There was a protective glow around his body. His skin felt hot, and his hair felt like it was about to burn. He knew that he was Just Now, where the Smoke Crane touched the earth fire.
Not only was the Fire Qi fierce, but it was also accompanied by the Fire Qi of the Earth Lung. If a cultivator with a lower cultivation level was burned by this Qi, their skin and flesh would be instantly burned. If they breathed in a little, their internal organs would be burned.
With Zhang Yan's current cultivation level, he wasn't afraid of it. However, if he wanted to craft weapons, he wouldn't be able to do so. Therefore, he needed to use a few methods to suppress it.
He waved his sleeve, and a huge piece of wood that was a hundred feet long flew out.
This piece of wood was called Qing Ming Wood, a precious material that was as famous as the Dark Vermillion Wood. Just a broken piece of wood could burn for hundreds of years without extinguishing. It could also get rid of evil and retain good. This time, he wanted to use it to draw out the earth fire and eliminate the Fire Qi.
He took out an apricot yellow talisman paper and forced a drop of blood from the tip of his finger. He drew an incantation on the talisman and patted it on the wooden stake. With a light push, the wooden stake was sent deep into the cave.
Then, he stood at the same spot and focused his senses. After a while, he realized that the talisman had turned into ashes and flew away. He knew that he had reached the end of the cave. He used his mana from afar, and with a rumble, the Qing Ming Wood was inserted into the wall of the cave.
At this time, he let out a shout and threw out a dozen pieces of wood in one breath. He then flew up. Every time he went up, he would use his mana and hit the wood into the wall of the cave.
After the Qing Ming Wood absorbed the Fire Qi, it would give birth to an open fire. This smoke would rise up, and after about a year, the wood at the top could also be ignited. Going up like this was like climbing stairs. If it was short, it would take ten years, if it was long, it would take a hundred years. At that time, not only would the Fire Qi be eliminated, the fire would be much stronger than before. Then, he could use it without worry.
However, there was a problem with setting up this piece of wood. There were many apertures in the cave. Not to mention that they were densely packed, there were also many twists and turns. It wasn't straight up or down. This required him to use his mana to forcefully open up a path.
Fortunately, he had the Five Elements Escape Technique. Moving rocks and soil was not a problem. Whenever he saw an obstruction, he would send an Earth Element True Light over and divert it to another place.
Back then, when the Yin Clan's Elder Ancestor opened up the Earth Furnace, he had invited several people of the same path to help him. It took him half a year. Just Now, it was a great success. It was far from as easy as he was today.
However, after refining this furnace, the benefits were great. Not only could it refine ocean boats and cloud carriages, it could also refine flying mountains. If one was good at it, with enough precious materials, he could even use it to refine profound weapons.
After the Yin Clan had the Earth Fire Heavenly Furnace, the clan was prosperous and had not declined until now.
Precisely because he knew the various benefits, Zhang Yan spent a lot of effort to build one for the Cold Abyss Gate. With the amount of Qing Ming Wood that was thrown here, it would not be a problem to use three to four hundred years. Even if he left this place, there would be a next Sect Leader who would take over this place. There was no need to worry that it would be abandoned.
Not long after Zhang Yan descended, two streaks of light suddenly appeared on the surface of the ground. They were pale white and looked extremely evil. Before they passed through the crypt, they were obstructed by the Forbidden Formation, causing their bodies to pause for a moment. Subsequently, they landed on the mountain top one after another.
The person in the lead was a skinny old man. He had a sinister expression and shriveled cheeks. He was dressed in black and had a hissing live snake coiled around his waist.
The other person was seventeen or eighteen years old. He was dressed like a scholar. His face was pale and his eyes were red. He had short legs and a fat body. His clothes were full of copper coins with square holes and were strung with golden threads. He gave off an evil aura from head to toe.
The old man looked at the cave below and said with narrowed eyes, "That's strange. The Divine House Mountain has always been desolate and uninhabited. I didn't think that there would be someone laying down a Restrictive Formation here."
The scholar also looked around and said, "What can he do? It has nothing to do with us. We can just go around it."
The old man smiled coldly and said, "How can it be so easy? He blocked the path of us brothers. Are we just going to let him go like this? Let's see who it is first. If he's easy to deal with, we'll take him down and refine him into a Mysterious Corpse Protector. "
The scholar did not agree. He frowned and said, "This Restrictive Formation is not simple. It must be the work of an expert. Looking at the mana and Spiritual Vigor, his cultivation is not below us. He won't be easy to deal with."
The old man rolled up his sleeves and snorted. He said, "It's good that his cultivation is high. Otherwise, I won't be interested."
The scholar advised, "Senior Brother, we are rushing to get the book that Master left behind. Why do we have to create unnecessary trouble and make enemies out of nothing?"
The old man glared at him and said unhappily, "My Corpse Formation is still missing one. I heard you say that Bitch Che lives here. Who knew that after searching for more than ten days, I didn't see anyone. Now that I see one, you're still stopping me. Are you going to give it to me? That's fine too. Bring me the Lifeless Coffin that Master left behind and I'll let it go. "
As soon as he said that, the scholar choked. He knew that he couldn't persuade the old man anymore. He said helplessly, "This Restrictive Formation has been here for many days. If this person doesn't show up, are you going to wait here forever?"
The old man sneered, "The East God House is a barren and barren land, yet someone actually came here. I don't believe that there's nothing wrong with the underground cave. It's fine to wait for a few more days, but do you think they're going to stay there for a year or so? Don't worry. If there's a lot of people, I'll turn around and leave. If there's only one or two people, hehe. "
The scholar said, "Then we'll do as Senior Brother says. I'll accompany you."
The old man was satisfied and said, "Junior Brother, there's still sixteen years until the Gathering of the Dragon Pillars. After we retrieve the book, we'll have enough time to cultivate. Don't be anxious. We've waited for so many years. Are you afraid of waiting a little longer?"
The scholar nodded and said, "This time, the opening of the Zhongtai Sect is a great opportunity for our sect. As long as we master the mysterious technique, we can go to the old sect to retrieve the Heavenly Corpse Token left behind by Master. Then, we can call back our fellow sect members who are scattered all over the Nine States. It's not an extravagant hope to rebuild our sect."
After Zhang Yan entered the cave, on the eighth day, he had almost set up the Heavenly Cauldron. He looked up and down again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he calculated the time and flew up into the sky. He used the conveyance light and went to the surface.
The old man and the scholar had been waiting in the secret place for a few days, yet they didn't see any movement from below, and they were slightly unable to restrain themselves. At this moment, they suddenly saw a streak of light flashing out from the underground cave, and they couldn't help but feel excited, but when they looked carefully, their expressions changed.
The old man lowered his voice and said, "Junior Brother, did you see it?"
The scholar swallowed and said, "It seems to be the Sword Escape Technique. Could it be a disciple of the Fengxiang sword school?"
