"It's nothing big. I just want to ask you to lead the way to the Immortal World," Xiao Lingyu said casually.
"Go to the Immortal World? Brother, you're from the Demon World. Why are you going to the Immortal World? Brother, please don't misunderstand. I don't mean to pry into anything. It's just that if you go to the Immortal World, you'll meet many experts from the Immortal World at the exit, "the young cultivator explained after being surprised.
"Haha, don't worry, brother. I have my ways to conceal myself. I won't bring you any trouble," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"There are many Immortal Emperors at the exit. It's hard to fool them with ordinary concealment methods," the young cultivator reminded.
"Even Immortal Supremes won't be able to discover my concealment method if they don't look carefully," Xiao Lingyu said confidently.
"If that's the case, we can give it a try. After all, Immortal Supremes won't be guarding the exit. They're all very busy with the war between the Immortal World and the Demon World," the young cultivator nodded.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother," Xiao Lingyu said politely.
"It's just that … I still have something to deal with. Brother, can you wait for a while?" the young cultivator said with a troubled expression.
"That's fine. Brother, you can deal with your own matters first. I'm not in a hurry," Xiao Lingyu said generously. "If you need help with anything, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Brother, you've already helped me get rid of the three scorpion beasts. The rest is much simpler. Brother, you don't have to do anything. I can do it myself."
The young cultivator pointed in the direction he came from and said, "There's a nest of scorpion beasts over there. There's a fire crystal in it. We can return once we get it."
"Then let's not delay any longer. Let's go," Xiao Lingyu said decisively.
"Alright!"
As he flew, he said to Xiao Lingyu who was following closely behind him, "Previously, there were three late-stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial scorpion beasts guarding the nest. I wanted to lure them away before coming back to retrieve the Fire Crystal. However, I didn't expect the scorpion beasts to be able to keep up with me. Now that you've killed the three late-stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial scorpion beasts, it'll be a piece of cake for me to retrieve the Fire Crystal."
What made Xiao Lingyu curious was the young man's speed was comparable to a Late Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Although the young man's cultivation base was only comparable to a Late Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, his cultivation base was comparable to a Late Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
It only took the two of them an hour to stop at the foot of a mountain that was covered in flames.
Looking over, the entire mountain was made up of red-hot rocks, giving off a heavy and scorching feeling.
Around the mountain, there were countless caves. From afar, the entire mountain looked like a burning hornet's nest.
"The flames outside aren't very strong. We only need to set up a defensive light shield to block them. The flames will only grow stronger when we enter the mountain. It's quite a threat to cultivators below the Nine Heavens Mystic Celestial stage. However, I'm sure you won't be afraid of flames of this level."
The young man explained as he flew toward one of the caves.
Sure enough, although the flames coming out of the mountain looked very frightening, they were actually not that powerful. At most, they could only melt a Low Rank Magic Weapon.
As they traveled through the caves, they encountered scorpion beasts. However, the scorpion beasts' cultivation bases were not high so they could not cause them any trouble.
After traveling for about ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the heart of the mountain. The temperature in the surroundings was getting higher and higher. The young man kept increasing his defenses while Xiao Lingyu remained relaxed.
Even the flames in the heart of the mountain paled in comparison to Xiao Lingyu's Chaotic True Fire.
The flames grew stronger. The closer they got to the heart of the mountain, the stronger the scorpion beasts that came out to stop them. However, when they arrived at the heart of the mountain, the deepest part of the scorpion beasts' lair, the strongest scorpion beasts they encountered were only at the mid-stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial stage.
Even if Xiao Lingyu did not make a move, none of the scorpion beasts that came to stop them could withstand the young man's attack.
There was a huge cave in the heart of the mountain. The cave was in the shape of a vertical oval. It was surrounded by numerous caves with countless scorpion beasts flying around.
At the bottom of the cave, there was a reddish-brown gemstone that was twenty to thirty feet tall and sixty feet wide.
This huge gemstone must be the Fire Crystal Gemstone the young man had mentioned.
Putting aside the quality of the gemstone, just its size alone was enough to make one envious.
Xiao Lingyu scanned the gemstone with his Divine Sense and was surprised to discover that the Fire Crystal Gemstone's quality was not inferior to an ordinary supreme-grade Devil Treasure. It should be enough to refine a fire-type supreme-grade Celestial Weapon. It was no wonder the young man was willing to take such a huge risk to obtain it.
The young man was cautious. After scanning the surroundings with his Celestial Consciousness, he waved his hand to kill the scorpion beasts as he descended.
Xiao Lingyu was not a careless person as well. He spread his Divine Sense to the fullest to grasp the situation around him.
The two of them successfully landed at the bottom of the cave. The young man could not hide his excitement when he saw the huge Fire Crystal Gemstone.
However, just as the young cultivator's immortal sense wrapped around the fire crystal gem and was about to put it into his storage magic treasure, the fire crystal gem flew directly above their heads. Then, a scorpion beast bathed in fire ruthlessly smashed its two front claws like iron pincers at the two of them.
The young man's cultivation base was not high, and he was too excited to defend himself. After all, the distance between them was too short. Moreover, it was clear that the scorpion beast's cultivation base had surpassed the level of an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
The young man's heart skipped a beat when he saw the pincers were about to hit the two of them. A horrified expression appeared on his face when the pincers that were about to hit his head suddenly stopped.
The young man hastily retreated a few dozen feet before he discovered that the pincers had been caught by two fleshy palms. The pincers could not move at all.
The scorpion beast was smaller than an ordinary scorpion beast at the True Devil Stage. However, its aura had risen to the level of a late-stage Mystical Devil Stage cultivator. It was only a step away from breaking through to the Devil Lord stage.
Even so, Xiao Lingyu easily caught the scorpion beast's iron pincers, which looked as if they had been burned red by a raging fire.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Lingyu snorted coldly as he exerted force with his palms. A cracking sound rang in the air.
The young cultivator was shocked to find that under the force of the two palms, terrifying cracks had appeared on the surface of the iron pincers.
Roar!
The scorpion beast roared in pain before it spat out a wave of fire from its mouth.
Xiao Lingyu remained motionless despite the heatwave. A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he allowed the flames to burn his body. He was not harmed in the slightest.
The young man's jaw dropped when he saw this.
The scorpion beast's pincers were still in Xiao Lingyu's hands. In a fit of rage, it thrust its tail at Xiao Lingyu like a javelin.
Xiao Lingyu released his grip on the scorpion beast's tail. Then, he leaped up and landed on the scorpion beast's back.
Ha!
With a loud shout, Xiao Lingyu grasped the scorpion tail tightly and stabbed it towards the scorpion beast's back.
Although the scorpion beast's back was very hard, its tail was the hardest part of its body. Therefore, the scorpion beast's tail pierced through the scorpion beast's body and even went deep into the hard mountain rock below.
Roar!
The scorpion beast let out a miserable cry as it was injured by its tail. Then, it began to struggle violently.
Although it took a long time to describe, from the moment the scorpion beast appeared to the moment it was heavily injured, the huge fire crystal was still in mid-air. It was only now that it started to fall.
Xiao Lingyu only dodged when the fire crystal was above his head. The huge and heavy fire crystal smashed directly onto the scorpion beast's body.
Boom!
The fire crystal landed heavily, and the scorpion beast's fiery red blood splattered everywhere.
The scorpion beast's two iron pincers kept slapping the ground a few times, and then there was no more movement. The young cultivator used his immortal sense to check and found that the scorpion beast with a Nine Heaven Xuan Immortal cultivation had actually died on the spot.
When the young cultivator looked at Xiao Lingyu again, not only was he grateful for Xiao Lingyu's help, but he was also shocked and puzzled.
The young cultivator knew very well that cultivators who could enter this independent space were, at most, peak late-stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. Even if this Devil Dao cultivator was stronger than him, it would not be by much. However, when the young cultivator saw how easily Xiao Lingyu had killed the scorpion beast, a Nine Heavens Mystic Celestial, he realized he had underestimated Xiao Lingyu's strength.
"This fire crystal might seem huge, but it's not very pure. I think the scorpion beast must have absorbed too much of its energy. You'll have to refine it after retrieving it."
Xiao Lingyu did not look proud at all after killing the scorpion beast. Instead, he narrowed his eyes as he commented.
"That scorpion beast was a Nine Heavens Mystic Celestial. I can't defeat it. Brother, you've saved my life. How can I accept this fire crystal? Brother, please accept this Fire Crystal Gem. "The young cultivator was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly waved his hand.
Xiao Lingyu shook his head and said with a smile, "This fire crystal is useless to me. You don't have to be so polite with me."
The young cultivator braced himself and asked, "Brother, are you really a Nine Heavens Mystic Celestial?"
"Yes."
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "Sometimes, one's cultivation base doesn't represent one's true strength."
