It was a bowl that was only the size of a palm. It seemed to be made of mithril, and the silver foil was rippling.
According to the beautiful woman, this was an Emperor Divine Weapon that could store things. Its effect was similar to a mustard seed bag. Inside it was a world that could hold mountains. It could be called a treasure!
After looking at it strangely for a while, Wutian called out the mysterious object and started to capture the spiritual vein.
Like the Yan Sect, after calling out, the mysterious object responded. Its milky light was boundless.
Although he didn't know where the mysterious object took the spiritual vein, Wutian had a feeling that he would use it again in the future. Maybe, it was helping himself.
After a while, the spiritual vein of the Fire Cloud Sect was finally captured and merged into his forehead. During the process, Wutian broke through to the Dacheng stage as he wished. His strength reached 250,000, and his defense reached 230,000.
This speed was like a rocket. It was unimaginable. Even the beautiful woman was shocked.
That was because she understood Wutian the most. He had only begun to open his meridians in the Valley of Ice, but in just half a year, he had opened sixty-five meridians. No matter where he went, he would be fought over by countless Sects.
"Is our decision right or wrong?"
Sometimes, she thought that if this child continued to grow at this speed, he would definitely be a hero in a few hundred years. Maybe he would even surpass the Twelve Honored Warriors and the Palace Leader.
The little guy didn't break through to the Hundred Dynasties Lower Tier. However, the realm he broke through not long ago had completely stabilized. He could break through to a higher realm without any worries.
That was why it kept complaining. It kept saying, "Damn mysterious object, damn thing, you eat people without spitting out their bones. If there's a chance, the Frog Lord will teach you a lesson."
The destruction of the Fire Cloud Sect was unavoidable. The colorful woman and the others were too strong. With a wave of their hands, they could kill hundreds or thousands of people. The elders of the Fire Cloud Sect didn't even have the chance to fight back. They were turned into ashes, but their heads were left behind.
The Twelfth Elder was a Ninth Stage Restriction Master. Although the restriction he set wasn't as strong as the Sect Protecting Seal, no one in the Fire Cloud Sect could break it. They couldn't send messages either. Therefore, they were like turtles in a jar, filled with despair and helplessness.
The ground was littered with corpses, blood flowed like a river, and a bloody mist dyed the sky red!
Wutian walked between the remains of the four limbs with an indifferent expression. His heart was unwavering. His whole life was because of the Fire Cloud Sect. If it wasn't for Huo Shi's greed, the dozens of people in the Dragon Village and his grandfather wouldn't have died.
What infuriated him the most was that they didn't even let the souls of the dead go, turning them into sacrifices for refining magical treasures. That was why he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity. He spread the word that regardless of whether they were innocent or not, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, not a single one was to be left alive.
When he spoke these words, he was extremely calm, as if he was speaking an extremely ordinary sentence. The beautiful woman and the others secretly raised their eyebrows. Just how much resentment did he have to be able to speak such calm words?
Moreover, the beautiful woman also discovered that ever since Chu Yiyan died, ever since she knew about the souls of the villagers and her grandfather. After being used as sacrifices to refine magical treasures, certain aspects of Wutian's personality began to change.
Even though her grandfather's killing had caused severe harm to Wutian, he had not lost his true nature. If it was before, he wouldn't have killed these innocent disciples. Now, he hadn't lost his true nature either. It could be seen from his pitch-black and deep eyes. However, certain aspects of him were quietly changing. Perhaps even he didn't notice it.
"Second Venerable, Young Master Wu, everyone in the Fire Cloud Sect is dead!"
Two hours later, more than ten elders reported back with a few heads in their hands. In addition, their bodies were covered in blood. Their killing intent soared to the heavens, making them look like Asuras bathed in blood. It was chilling!
Wutian nodded. With a wave of his hand, he kept the heads into his mustard seed bag.
The beautiful woman ordered, "Go to the Scripture Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion. Collect everything useful. Oh right, look for the whereabouts of the Devouring Spirit Demonic Book."
Hearing this, the nineteen people shot out in all directions and began to loot the Fire Cloud Sect.
"Hehe, how can the Frog Lord not be involved in this matter?"
The little fellow chuckled. His Profound Qi gushed out and a pair of light wings appeared. He turned into a ray of light and flew away.
At this moment, the crystal on Wutian's forehead suddenly vibrated. It was as if it had been summoned and was guiding him to a certain place.
Frowning, the power of wind circled around. Wutian turned into a ray of light and flew towards the depths of the Fire Cloud Sect.
"What is he doing?"
The beautiful woman and the other two were puzzled. They were worried and quickly followed.
After a while, Wutian arrived in front of a canyon. Heatwaves rushed towards him and the air was filled with a faint smell of smoke. There was no sign of life in the canyon. It was like a dead end. It was silent.
On the mountain wall deep in the canyon, he could clearly see a fiery red cave. From time to time, tongues of fire would spurt out. The heatwaves came from there.
After arriving here, Wutian could clearly feel that the crystal was vibrating faster and faster. It seemed to be very excited.
Without hesitation, Wutian stepped out and sped away. Because the crystal rarely fluctuated on its own, there should be something in the cave that it coveted.
Anything that it coveted was a rare existence.
For example, the God's Left Hand's power of thunder and lightning. The spirit veins of the Fire Cloud Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect were all rare treasures.
Soon after, the beautiful woman and the other two appeared outside the canyon. Looking at the canyon, they frowned. There was a dignified look in their eyes, as if they were afraid of this place.
The twelfth brother was puzzled. "What is this place? How come I've never heard of it before?"
The multicolor-robed woman said in a deep voice, "That cave gives me a feeling of fear and trepidation. It's as if there's some peerless beast inside. Moreover, that flame isn't an ordinary flame. It looks more like the legendary 'Earth Flame'."
"Earth Flame!"
The beautiful woman and the twelfth brother were shocked. Earth Flame was an extremely rare type of flame. It was even rarer than astral fire. Moreover, earth Flame was extremely hot; it could even melt a Divine Transformation powerhouse.
"Could this be the Mountain of Flames, the place where the Fire Cloud Sect's Sovereign Armament resides?"
In the legends, there was a Mountain of Flames within the Fire Cloud Sect, and it was where the Sovereign Armament resided. But in the past, for some unknown reason, the Sovereign Armament was lost in the Absolute Yin Ruins. Since then, this place had become a place where disciples were punished.
The multicolor-robed woman said, "No wonder I felt such fear. It turns out that there was a remnant of the Sovereign Armament's might here. This Earth Flame should have been left behind by that Sovereign Armament."
"That's possible. It's said that the Fire Cloud Sect's Sovereign Armament can release extremely hot flames that can instantly incinerate mountains and rivers. Not good, we can't withstand the heat of the Earth Flame. Wutian is only at the Channel Opening stage, how could he not be turned to ashes?!"
The three people's complexions changed. They quickly rushed in, but they were still a step too late. Wutian had already entered the cave.
"What do we do!?"
The beautiful woman was incomparably anxious. Even a Hundred Dynasty stage martial artist would be turned to ashes if they entered. Even she didn't have full confidence she could withstand it, much less a little Channel Opening stage martial artist.
The twelfth brother said, "The Earth Flame's temperature is extremely high. We cannot withstand it, so we can only wait. Since Wutian was able to capture the spirit vein, he should have a way. Moreover, I don't think he is a reckless person."
"What the twelfth brother says makes sense. Let's quietly wait. If he doesn't come out in an hour, we'll inform big brother!"
The multicolor-robed woman stared into the cave. Her pure white face was illuminated red by the light, and there was a deep dread in her eyes.
The cave was a sea of fire. Tongues of flame flickered and waves of fire surged!
Wutian's body was in the midst of the waves of fire. Above his head was a beautiful flame that emitted a faint light, blocking the endless waves of fire without causing any harm.
The twelfth brother was right. He wasn't a reckless person. Knowing that it was a dead end, he still charged in. This wasn't his character.
When he arrived at the cave, he felt an indescribable heat wave engulfing his entire body. It was definitely not something that an ordinary person could endure. At that time, he was prepared to retreat, but the crystal kept trembling, as if it was very eager.
Then, just as he was hesitating, the crystal emitted a slight fluctuation. The Fire of the Soul in his Qi Sea immediately appeared. The heat immediately disappeared and was replaced by a cool feeling.
Hence, he walked in and found that the cave wasn't very big. It was about a thousand feet in size, but it was filled with flames. The most peculiar thing was that under such a high temperature, the surrounding stone walls were actually pitch black.
Logically speaking, under the constant burning of flames, the stone walls should be scarlet red. However, this wasn't the case. Moreover, the ground was pitch black. There wasn't even a trace of magma!
This puzzled him no matter how hard he thought about it.
Wutian also found that whether it was the stone walls or the ground, there was a chill in his heart. This was completely against common sense. Moreover, the texture of these stones was very hard. When he punched with all his strength, there wasn't even a trace of a crack. It was completely intact!
"What exactly is this thing?"
Just as he was puzzled, a strong suction force suddenly appeared on his forehead. The flames in all directions quickly surged into his forehead. To be precise, they were surging into the crystal.
This made him very suspicious. Could it be that these flames were also treasures?
On second thought, the temperature emitted by the flames was enough to make his tyrannical body feel the threat of death. It was definitely not an ordinary flame. It was just that he didn't know about it.
"Eh!"
In the center, Wutian vaguely saw a strange thing. Hence, he curiously walked over. Then, he bent down and picked it up, placing it in his palm.
"What is this?"
Wutian was puzzled. The shape of this thing was too strange. It was red like fire, the size of a fist, and very soft. There were some petals on its surface. There were about fifteen or sixteen petals, which were very similar to a snow lotus.
However, Wutian didn't believe that this was a snow lotus. Because of the environment, snow lotuses could only grow in a world of ice and snow, and this place was a fiery domain.
He also discovered that this item didn't have a high temperature, but it emitted a kind of obscure aura. The fire tide in the surroundings actually circled around it, not daring to come close. Furthermore, he sensed that the Fire of Soul had a trace of emotion. Its light was somewhat dim, as if it was afraid!
This was like facing a supreme king, an innate fear!
"If it can cause the spiritual fire to feel fear, it shouldn't be an ordinary object. Moreover, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before. It's so familiar!"
Wutian was puzzled. The shape of this thing was indeed very familiar, but he couldn't recall where. He scratched his head and suddenly stopped. His eyes burst with light as if he had discovered something inconceivable. Unknowingly, his arms began to tremble.
He hurriedly took out the animal skin scroll from his mustard seed bag and flipped to a certain page. There was a carving that was exactly the same as the thing in his hand.
"It really is this … the essence of fire!"
