But then again, did an ancient cultivator need to go through so much trouble to find a successor? If Old Man Shi was really that powerful, he only needed to say the word and countless talented descendants of aristocratic families would sign up for him to choose from. Why did he have to go through so much trouble and guard the place for nearly 200,000 years?
Da Yu continued, "I don't know if you noticed, but Old Man Shi's tests focus on character, not cultivation. I don't know about the other tests, but do you know about our water element test? Helping Uncle Huai Kui is actually a test. Even if the challenger's cultivation is outstanding and he defeats my mother, as long as he doesn't complete the task of supplying water, he will still be considered a failure. "
"Ah?" Ye Kong had only helped Huai Kui out of loyalty. He had never thought that this was also a test. When he thought of how he had once thought of taking the treasure and absconding, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Old Man Shi really put in a lot of effort." Ye Kong sighed. In his heart, he was once again interested in Old Man Shi's identity. He asked, "Da Yu, do you know what cultivation level Old Man Shi is at?"
"Unfathomable." Da Yu added, "My mother guessed that with Old Man Shi's cultivation, he can definitely ascend to the Upper Realm."
Hearing Da Yu's words, Ye Kong was even more confused. If he could ascend to the Upper Realm, why did he stay in this world? A cultivator could ascend after passing the tribulation and live as long as heaven and earth. This was the dream of all cultivators.
Since Old Man Shi had such great magic power, why didn't he ascend? Moreover, ascension was not something that could be controlled by humans. Even if one didn't want to ascend, it was not up to the cultivator to decide.
However, that was not what Ye Kong needed to consider. What he needed to do was to deal with Fireshine in front of him.
Since it was not a test of cultivation, it should not be a problem to win without a fight and use tricks to pass this test.
Ye Kong didn't care whether Fireshine was on the mountain of lighters or not. He just needed to cast the spell first.
Finding a flat rock, Ye Kong sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate. Although the Dragon Clan's incantation was complicated, he had already memorized it.
After a short while, Ye Kong suddenly opened his eyes and quickly formed a seal with his hands.
The Dragon Clan's spells were indeed astonishing. Following Ye Kong's casting of the spell, the surrounding water attribute spiritual energy quickly gathered around him. Although the air was still air, there was already a faint moist and moist feeling.
The Dragon Clan's magic power was very strong, and Ye Kong's magic power was not as strong as he wished, so he could only use time to exchange for magic power. After another moment, Ye Kong raised his hand and activated the Water and Fire Gourd, "Water Mist!"
Under Ye Kong's command, the Water and Fire Gourd spewed out countless water mists. After all, the Water-Fire Gourd was an ancient cultivator's treasure. Originally, Ye Kong had some doubts about the power of the water and fire it spewed. Later, after Big Jade's explanation, he understood that the Water-Fire Gourd spewed not only the original forms of water or fire.
In other words, the Water-Fire Gourd could spit out water columns, water mists, water blades, water arrows, water bombs, and could even be used as a water element machine gun with an endless stream of bullets. With this treasure in hand, it was equivalent to having a tool that could release all the water and fire attribute magic. How could it not be powerful?
A large amount of water mists spewed out and immediately condensed in the air, forming a cloud.
However, this was not what Ye Kong wanted. He bit his middle finger again and spilled out a stream of blood. Ye Kong's skill was insufficient, so he could only use his blood essence as a guide to activate the magic power.
"Boom!" There was a clap of thunder, and the water mists and clouds immediately spiraled into the sky, slowly flying towards the Flaming Mountain in front.
This magic power was time-consuming and exhausting. When Ye Kong finished casting it, he was almost exhausted. He quickly took out the spiritual wine and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Only then did he feel that his spiritual power had recovered a lot.
Looking at the Flaming Mountain again, he saw that it was already densely covered with rolling black clouds. In that large area, the sky had also darkened a lot.
Even if Ye Kong used all his strength, he could not reach the point where it would rain. However, he only wanted the sky to be dark for a while, not for it to rain.
At the top of the Flaming Mountain, the flames that were violently shooting into the sky were still spitting out tongues of flame. However, the dense black clouds that filled the sky were very low, cutting off much of the light on the mountain.
"There's no time to lose. Let's go quickly," Da Yu urged. In fact, she was not sure if the rumor that Fireshine slept when it was dark was true.
"Let's go!" Ye Kong did not dare to stay. He jumped onto the flying carpet and flew towards the Flaming Mountain.
Originally, Ye Kong thought that the flames that were spewing out from the Flaming Mountain would be very intense and that the surrounding temperature would be very high.
However, when he flew past the Flaming Mountain, he felt that the closer he got to the flames, the colder the air became.
"What's going on? Could it be that my senses are wrong? " Ye Kong was a little surprised. He even deliberately flew closer to the flames, but his senses were right.
It was true that the closer he got to the flames, the colder the air became.
It was clearly a fiery red flame, but it made the surrounding air as cold as winter.
After flying past the Flaming Mountain, Ye Kong could not help but ask Big Yu. This phenomenon was too strange, and he had never encountered it before.
Unexpectedly, Big Yu's words immediately made him turn the flying carpet around and fly back to the Flaming Mountain.
Big Yu said, "This is the cold fire in the north of the Cangbei Pole. There is an old saying that the Cangbei Fire is cold, and the people of Cangnan are cold. This means that the Cangbei Cold Fire is abnormally cold, just like how the beauties of Cangnan's Shadow Tribe treat men of other tribes …" As Big Yu spoke, she realized that Ye Kong had already turned around and flew back.
"Young Master! What are you doing? You don't have enough magic power. Those black clouds won't last long! "Big Yu reminded him.
However, Ye Kong could no longer care about that.
The Cangbei Cold Fire was the main material of the Five Elements Sword Formation!
If he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to harvest this Cangbei Cold Fire, forge the Cangbei Cold Fire Sword, or form the legendary Five Elements Sword Formation.
A person without foresight would have immediate worries. Although he was still far from Core Formation, these things had to be prepared early. Although Ye Kong knew the danger, he was afraid that if he gave up now, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life, so he had to take the risk.
In the sky, an old man sighed silently. "Greed really kills people." In fact, he was quite optimistic about this little cultivator. The reason wasn't because Ye Kong's aptitude was suitable, nor was it because his character was good … but because he was the only person in the last two hundred thousand years whose tone of voice was the closest to his master's.
Originally, the old man had decided to let this little cultivator pass easily and directly let him pass the third test. If it was proven that this little cultivator really came from the same place as his master, then his mission would be complete.
However, this little cultivator didn't know life from death and forcefully tried to steal the Cangbei Cold Fire.
This made Elder Stone feel that this kid was too greedy. However, after some thought, he didn't directly let Ye Kong fail. Instead, he decided not to help this kid.
If he successfully escaped, then that would be for the best. If he died in Fireshine's mouth, Elder Stone wouldn't interfere.
