Inside Ling Xian's memory, there was a place that was extremely far away and rarely visited.
The moment that place is mentioned, everyone's expression changes. Even the Supreme Headmaster of the Shang Qing Sect doesn't dare to step foot there.
That place was named the Volcano of Demons.
Just like its name suggests, it was a volcano. Though the fire inside was not the legendary godly fire, its temperature was extremely terrifying. Even those of the original level wouldn't dare to stay inside for long.
What could they do? The temperature was far too high. Even the most powerful treasures would be burnt to ashes in an instant.
Therefore, whenever the Shang Qing Sect mentions that place, their expression changes and they don't dare to go near it.
Therefore, it was a great place to go into isolation.
Of course, this was only to Ling Xian. If others knew that he dared to go into isolation at the Volcano of Demons, they would for sure curse him for being crazy.
But don't forget, he once acquired half a Fire Taming Pearl at the auction in the City of Sin. Though it was an incomplete treasure, its effectiveness was greatly reduced. However, it was enough for him to stay inside the Volcano of Demons for a while.
This was why Ling Xian wanted to go into isolation at the Volcano of Demons.
It was already late at night. A golden full moon hung high in the sky. Under the countless stars, it looked even colder and lonelier.
Under the moonlight, Ling Xian flew at a low altitude. He carefully hid his Qi, afraid that he would alert those with sensitive senses.
After all, he wasn't from the Shang Qing Sect. If some powerhouses saw him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Luckily, it was late at night and the sky was pitch black. Plus, he hid his Qi. Thus, his journey was peaceful and nobody noticed him.
Just like that, Ling Xian sliced across the sky like a shooting star and headed towards the Volcano of Demons at an extreme speed.
After around half an hour, he finally arrived at the top of the Volcano of Demons.
The moment he stepped into the range of the volcano, Ling Xian immediately felt a temperature he has never felt before. Flames shot through the sky and burned his skin until it turned red.
One has to admit that the Volcano of Demons was truly terrifying. He was currently above the volcano and was extremely far away. Despite this, the high temperature still made his skin turn red and he began to sweat profusely.
From this, it became obvious just how terrifying the Volcano of Demons was!
"It is no wonder that even the original leveled cultivators are afraid of it. The temperature sure is terrifying."
Ling Xian manipulated his Golden Dan and released a barrier of spiritual energy to block out the high temperature that reached the sky. Then, with some curiosity, he shifted his gaze to the volcano below.
Though he had lived at the Shang Qing Sect for many years, most of the time, he was in isolation. Therefore, he has only heard of the Volcano of Demons but has never been there.
Now that he was here, he was naturally curious.
Below them was the mouth of a volcano. Lava surged, and the light of the flames reached the sky. The terrifying heat expanded and engulfed everything within a three mile radius. Even Ling Xian, who was in the sky, could feel the heat.
"No wonder no one dares to approach this place. It is indeed terrifying."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He had never been here before, so he thought it was exaggerated. However, at this moment, he felt that it was not exaggerated at all.
Because even though he had released a barrier of magic power, he was still sweating from the high temperature. There was a feeling of irritation in his chest due to the heat.
After all, he was currently in mid-air, and there was a huge distance between him and the crater of the volcano below. Despite this, he still felt suffocated. The temperature inside the Volcano of Demons was unimaginably terrifying!
However, as much as he exclaimed, he also complimented. He was very satisfied with the high temperature here.
He was here to isolate himself. The biggest taboo for isolation was to be disturbed. Especially to an outsider like him, he was most afraid of being found out by the Shang Qing Sect.
Therefore, to him, the more dangerous the location was, the better. Because it meant nobody would come here.
The Volcano of Demons was, without a doubt, the most suitable place.
This place was far too terrifying and there were no treasures worthy of a cultivator's attention. Therefore, nobody would come here. Even if he was unlucky, if someone did come, they wouldn't be able to easily enter the volcano.
Therefore, all in all, the Volcano of Demons was the safest place.
"Not bad, this is the place. It is safe and I won't be disturbed." Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and decided to isolate himself here.
Luckily, nobody knew what he was thinking. Or else they would've been terrified.
What kind of place was the Volcano of Demons?
It was a place where everyone in the Shang Qing Sect would turn pale at the mention of it!
Yet Ling Xian was treating it as the safest place. If this news gets out, countless people's worldview would crumble.
The Volcano of Demons was a terrifying place where even those of the original level died. How could it be the safest place? It was simply a fantasy story!
Yet to Ling Xian, the Volcano of Demons was truly the safest place.
What could he do? He once had half a Fire Taming Pearl. As long as he had this divine item, no sea of fire or lava would be able to harm him at all!
"Let's go. I need to hurry up and isolate myself. I need to increase my cultivation level to the peak of the completion level."
Grinning, Ling Xian didn't take out the Fire Taming Pearl right away. Instead, he summoned the Flame of Purity and decided to see if he can use his own capabilities to enter the sea of fire.
Silver flames rose and engulfed his entire body. He looked like the God of Fire had descended into the mortal world.
Then, he turned into a ray of light and dove into the volcano.
HOMMMM!
Immediately, the Volcano of Demons boiled and terrifying flames rolled over and surrounded Ling Xian.
The reason why this volcano had the word "demon" in its name was because it was extremely strange and seemed to have some sort of spirituality. Once someone intruded, the volcano would automatically activate and gather all its power to turn them into ashes.
This was why the Shang Qing Sect referred to it as a place of certain death.
"It sure is terrifying!"
Ling Xian's heart dropped. Though he had the protection of the Flame of Purity, he still felt pain like never before. He felt like his body was about to be roasted.
What could he do? Though the Volcano of Demons wasn't the Godly Fire, its temperature was much higher than the Godly Fire. The Flame of Purity wasn't known for its high temperature, so it was hard to defend against.
Luckily, he had another ace up his sleeve.
"I will have to use the Fire Taming Pearl." Ling Xian softly smiled and took out the Fire Taming Pearl from his storage pouch.
Instantly, a red pearl appeared in his hand. It emitted a soft red light that engulfed his entire body.
In the next second, a miraculous scene happened.
The Fire Taming Pearl lived up to its name as a treasure that could avoid all kinds of fire. The moment it appeared, it displayed its mysterious power.
The fire around him, as if it had encountered something terrifying, quickly split into two. In the blink of an eye, there was no more fire around Ling Xian.
"It is the legendary Fire Taming Pearl after all. It sure is mysterious."
Ling Xian complimented. Seeing how the Fire Taming Pearl was able to force all the fire to retreat, he no longer worried. Then, he marched forward softly. The soft light from the Fire Taming Pearl expanded and blocked out all the fire around him.
A path of emptiness appeared before him.
This path was created by the Fire Taming Pearl's spiritual energy. There was no fire on it at all. It was obvious how magical this treasure was.
At this, Ling Xian completely stopped worrying. He marched forward and stepped onto the path of emptiness.
Then, an extremely strange scene appeared inside the Volcano of Demons.
He had a smile on his lips and he held onto the pearl. All the fire around him retreated. This strange scene made him look like an ancient God of Fire descending into the mortal world. All the fires in the world were under his control.
He was strolling around as if he was taking a stroll in his own garden. He was unbelievably relaxed.
Luckily, other than him, there was no other living being here. Or else they would've turned into idiots after witnessing this scene.
Remember that this was the Volcano of Demons that everyone's expression changes when they talk about it. Even if the Supreme Headmaster, Ji Qian Bai, was here personally, he may not be able to enter the volcano. Yet before everyone's eyes, Ling Xian was walking on flat ground with ease. Why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
"The Fire Taming Pearl truly is a great treasure. Sadly, mine is incomplete and is only half as effective."
Ling Xian walked on the empty path and felt the powerfulness of the Fire Taming Pearl. He felt a little pitiful. But very quickly, he calmed himself down.
A treasure like the Fire Taming Pearl is something that can only be found by luck. To be able to acquire half of a Fire Taming Pearl was already something very lucky. Plus, even though it was only half as effective, based on the situation before him, it was enough for him to stay in isolation for a while.
Therefore, why wouldn't Ling Xian be satisfied?
"I need to hurry to the bottom of the volcano and then go into isolation."
After making up his mind, Ling Xian injected his Qi into the Fire Taming Pearl. Instantly, the pearl began to emit light and strange energy rolled out in all directions, forcing the fire to retreat.
Just like that, he marched forward at an extreme speed. After some time, he finally arrived at the bottom of the volcano.
At this point, the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. If it weren't for the Fire Taming Pearl's protection, he would've been burnt to ashes.
"I will use the Fire Taming Pearl to protect myself and prepare to go into isolation."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips. He tossed the Fire Taming Pearl above his head and it shined down soft light that protected his entire body. Then, he sat down in a lotus position and decided to go into isolation.
However, at this moment, a calm voice suddenly came from the front. In this quiet environment, the voice was exceptionally clear.
"It's been 800 years. I cannot believe the first person I see is a young man of the completion level."
At this, Ling Xian frowned. He wasn't too surprised.
Then, he shifted his gaze to the front. There was only fire and he couldn't see anything. When he used his Qi to investigate, he didn't find any signs of life.
"It's useless. I am surrounded by fire that has isolated your eyes and Qi." The voice rose again.
Ling Xian softly grinned, "It's no wonder I didn't notice anyone else when I landed. But since I am isolated by fire, then I will just have to break the fire. "
Then, the Fire Taming Pearl began to emit light and extinguished the fire before him.
Then, a naked humanoid creature with disheveled hair appeared in his line of sight.
He was sitting on the ground in a lotus position with his head lowered. He was skinny and looked like a skeleton.
This made Ling Xian's eyes flash with shock. What surprised him even more was the two black chains around this person's arms. They were made out of the legendary Dark Immortal Gold!
