(PS: First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm. I have seen all the positive comments in the book review section.
However, most people seemed to have fallen into a misconception. The title of 'so-and-so' was something that a Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioner would only be bestowed upon him when he had become the Chief.
Before this, even if Yan Zhaoge had crushed all those of the same generation, he still wouldn't have received such an honorific title.
At the same time, the title 'Tian Mo' had been proposed internally by Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners before being announced to the public.
The main character was now going to have a new title. It was a title that other martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World, other than Broad Creed Mountain, would address him respectfully, or perhaps it could be said that they had given him a nickname.
Everyone, don't be limited. You might as well let go of your thoughts.)
As Yan Zhaoge began to leave the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains and re-enter the North Sea, far away in the southern region of the Fire Domain, the situation had gradually become unstable.
In the south of the Fire Field, there were hundreds of thousands of mountains in the Southern Border. The mountains stretched endlessly, and the weather was already hot.
And in the mountains, leading underground, was an even hotter world.
There, beneath the earth, was a world of flames and magma.
The Southern Wasteland's Underground Palace was an extremely dangerous place, just like the Extreme North Ice Field and the Extreme West Desert. Moreover, the danger it posed was even more obvious, it was even more tyrannical. It was truly an underground world of a sea of fire.
Even for the Sacred Sun Clan, while this was a Sacred Ground, it was also a forbidden ground.
Only martial artists whose cultivation reached the Great Grandmaster Realm could enter with the sect's permission.
Although the environment here was extremely harsh, it also produced some rare resources and treasures, many of which were unique to this place.
At the same time, to the Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners, this was also a good place to cultivate and temper themselves.
However, in the past few days, the Southern Wasteland Fire Sea Underground Palace had become even more violent than before.
At the start, while the Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners with lower cultivation bases had been caught unawares and nearly perished within, the Sacred Sun Clan had not paid too much attention to it.
Although it wasn't as obvious and stable as the ebb and flow of the ocean, the fire in the underground palace of the Southern Wasteland had also fluctuated from time to time in previous years.
It was just that what the Sacred Sun Clan was concerned about was that this time's firepower had suddenly skyrocketed without any prior warning whatsoever, leaving them completely unprepared.
If that was all, then it would be fine.
However, what happened next caused the Sacred Sun Clan to be unable to remain calm.
The energy within the sea of flames grew more and more violent. That destructive energy seemed to want to destroy anyone who dared to step into it.
As time passed, it was not just the Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters and Spirit Vessel Martial Grandmasters who were unable to withstand it. Towards the end, even the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters were gradually finding it hard to withstand it.
In order to extract some of the special resources of the Underground Palace, the Sacred Sun Clan had set up some equipment, formations and other things, opening up a few safe zones, all of them having been destroyed, not a single tile remaining.
In the end, a Supreme Elder who had already reached the Transcendent Realm and had long stopped caring about worldly affairs, who had secluded himself in the Southern Wasteland Underground Palace for many years, was also alarmed.
This peak Martial Grandmaster expert, a longtime Elder of the Sacred Sun Clan who had already stepped into the Transcending Mortality stage and was attempting a breakthrough into the Martial Saint realm, gradually felt the strength of the firepower of the underground palace to the point that it was hard for him to bear. Finally, he could only retreat from the underground palace in a sorry state.
The Southern Underground Palace was extremely important to the Sacred Sun Clan.
This matter directly alarmed the Sacred Sun Clan's current number one expert, the 'Sun Comes East' Huang Guanglie.
Huang Guanglie, a Martial Saint, personally went to the Southern Wasteland Underground Palace to investigate.
However, the result caused the East Rising Martial Saint to feel extremely despondent.
There were no signs of external enemies invading, no signs of internal chaos, also no signs of the Sacred Sun Clan's own disciples making a mistake, causing the Southern Underground Palace to explode.
All of this seemed to have happened without any prior signs, without any reason at all, causing everyone to be unable to make heads or tails of it. It was as though the heavens had gone mad, suddenly giving the Sacred Sun Clan a hard time.
This caused the entire Sacred Sun Clan to feel stifled, filled with nervousness and fury, unable to find a place to vent them.
It was like sitting peacefully in one's home, yet an unexpected calamity had flown over.
Yan Zhaoge's sudden blow from the other end of the Eight Extremities World caused the entire Sacred Sun Clan to feel somewhat dazed for a time.
As time passed, the Southern Underground Palace became extremely violent, the infinite flames and lava beneath the ground gradually about to burst out of the earth's surface.
Of the entire Sacred Sun Clan, only Huang Guanglie was currently still able to move about within the underground palace.
His domineering move had at least not caused the danger to grow a step further.
However, he could only barely stop the rising flames within the underground palace. If he wanted to quell the rampaging power within the underground palace, he could only rely on time to slowly whittle it away.
When Yan Zhaoge arrived at Stone Rock City, a group of the Sacred Sun Clan's peak experts were gathered outside the Southern Underground Palace.
From the current Chief Huang Xu to Huang Guanglie's grandson and Huang Xu's son Huang Jie, everyone was present.
They all had solemn expressions on their faces as they stared at the entrance of the underground palace, where numerous fiery lights could now clearly be seen flickering within, flames spurting out from the entrance from time to time, shooting into the skies.
After a long time, a white-clothed old man resembling the sun rising from the east walked out of the sea of flames. It was precisely Huang Guanglie.
Huang Xu, Huang Jie and the others all came forward together, bowing to Huang Guanglie.
Huang Guanglie's face was expressionless, "The cause was a sudden change in the Fire Pith Vein, thus causing all of this. If we want to recover, we can only slowly whittle it away with time. At the very least, it will take more than ten years, perhaps even decades."
Hearing his words, the faces of everyone in the Sacred Sun Clan darkened, bitterness filling their mouths.
Huang Guanglie's gaze swept the entire area, "Unless, we can find the cause of this matter and find a cure for it."
"Such a sudden change, this old man does not believe that it was a sudden calamity descending from the heavens. There must definitely be a reason for it."
"If there is nothing wrong with the body itself, it must be caused by external factors."
Huang Guanglie looked at Huang Xu, "Has there been any news in the outside world that is worth noting recently?"
Huang Xu said, "There is one thing that perhaps is worth noting, just that it is a little too inconceivable."
"There was news earlier that Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge caused a great disturbance in the Extreme Northern Snowy Plains, clashing with the Heavenly Thunder Hall and killing a few of them, snatching away their high-grade spirit artifact, Heaven Shocker. At the same time, he also entered the legacy site of the past Glacial Dragon Martial Saint. What he took away from there is still uncertain."
"We have long since known of this news, but we missed out on some details earlier. This time, having specially asked those of the Heavenly Thunder Hall to verify it, only then did we know that the trap Yan Zhaoge used to ambush and kill many of them activated a branch of the Ice Pith Vein of the Extreme Northern Lands."
Huang Xu knit his brows slightly, "They are all earth veins. While one is south and one is north, one is ice and one is fire, there still seems to be some mysteries within."
The surrounding higher echelon experts of the Sacred Sun Clan all fell into deep thought, "Even so, isn't the distance a little too far? Does it really matter? "
Huang Jie, who had always been silent and resembled Huang Xu's shadow, now said softly, "There is a matter that was passed down from before the Great Calamity, now like a legend."
"The martial titan of the Snowy Immortal Palace had a Heavenly Frost Ice Spring which dried up without any prior warning or reason, leaving everyone at that time completely bewildered as it became an unsolved mystery."
Huang Jie said, "While one is strengthening, the other is weakening, the experience of the Heavenly Frost Ice Spring is not similar to the situation in the Southern Underground Palace today?"
Huang Guanglie raised his head towards the sky, saying after a while, "Ice and fire complementing each other, mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, two extremes opposing each other … it is not impossible."
Looking at the incomparably vast Southern Underground Palace beneath the ground before them, an old man said rather hesitantly, "If Yuan Zhengfeng went to do it, it would still be fine. That Yan Zhaoge, with his early Martial Grandmaster cultivation base, was able to draw upon the earth vein? Also, it was the opposition of ice and fire, influencing the Southern Underground Palace from the Extreme Northern Lands? "
The other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners all nodded slightly.
The three generations of Huang Guanglie, Huang Xu and Huang Jie all had solemn looks on their faces as they felt that it was absurd and hard to believe. (To be continued.)
