As for Young Master Qi, when he saw Gu Zheng's provocative gaze, he finally made his move.
It wasn't that he didn't want to let the fire dragons attack, but he wanted to conserve the energy. Since the other party didn't suffer too much damage, he might as well conserve the energy. It wasn't easy to replenish the energy.
He threw the small cauldron in his hand into the air. The small cauldron quickly flew into the air and expanded in the air. It grew to a height of 15 meters and nailed itself to the ground in midair.
The flame that was originally only the size of an apple was now burning fiercely. The nine fire dragons roared in unison, and intense flames appeared on their bodies. They began to revolve around the small cauldron, like a huge golden ball that was constantly rotating.
As for Gu Zheng, he looked over there. Dozens of sword lights rushed out and slashed at the opposite side. However, they didn't have any effect and were directly shattered into scattered light.
Countless ancient runes suddenly lit up on the small cauldron. An ancient aura rushed out from it and the entire small cauldron began to shake slightly. The red flames instantly burned outside and hung high in the sky like the sun.
The aura that soared into the sky stirred up the Spirit Qi within a radius of 10,000 miles. Countless pairs of eyes looked over and were surprised to see what was happening.
Young Master Qi's expression suddenly changed. The green light under his feet flashed again and he was sent flying. In the blink of an eye, he was on the other side.
At the place where he had just left, a figure appeared in his position, holding a green longsword. At this time, the 'Gu Zheng' who was standing in the flames had also disappeared.
It was unknown when Gu Zheng had actually snuck over. Unfortunately, he was still discovered by Young Master Qi, which made him very disappointed.
At this time, he didn't have much evil energy left in his body. At most, he only had one more attack left. He couldn't waste it.
As for Young Master Qi, he looked at the disappointed Gu Zheng and coldly snorted. A green light shot out from the jade flute and into the small cauldron.
Countless flames suddenly leaked out from the side of the small cauldron, covering the sky and covering the earth as they poured out in torrents towards the surroundings. Like the tail of a meteor, they enveloped Gu Zheng's surroundings.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to dodge, he realized that his body couldn't move at all. A layer of green gelatinous substance was trembling beneath his feet. After the raging flames, it had been burned into a ball of green liquid on the hillside, leaving a trail of green liquid all over the ground. At that time, Gu Zheng thought that this thing was destroyed. He didn't expect it to happen to him at this time.
With this delay, the streams of light had already embedded themselves into the ground around Gu Zheng. With a buzzing sound, a layer of fiery red shield surrounded Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng exerted strength in his legs and broke free. He tried to stab at the barrier with his sword. A golden light flashed on the surface of the red barrier, blocking Gu Zheng's sneak attack.
Gu Zheng's heart sank. The strength of this barrier was a little too thick. Although he was confident that if he used his remaining Fiendish Qi, he would be able to break out. However, he didn't even have a seed.
Although Gu Zheng's mind was thinking, he condensed a huge light sword in his hand and fiercely slashed towards the surroundings. However, after the appearance of the same golden light, the barrier was still fine.
The small cauldron above was slowly descending. In the blink of an eye, it had landed on top of the barrier.
On the other side, Young Master Qi's face was serious. His hands were constantly forming complicated seals. At the same time, a low murmur was constantly coming out of his mouth.
Golden runes appeared from his mouth and rotated towards the small cauldron above.
Above the barrier, the color became increasingly deep red. Specks of fiery light appeared above the barrier. The change in the surrounding temperature caused Gu Zheng to wake up from his stupor and stop his meaningless attacks.
As soon as the flames appeared, they whistled and shot out in all directions. The entire barrier was filled with flames. Every corner was burning. A sparkling light was propped up by Gu Zheng and temporarily resisted the scorching flames.
Young Master Qi's face was flushed red. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood from his mouth. It turned into a golden blood rune and rushed into the cauldron.
The moment the golden blood entered the small cauldron, the small cauldron suddenly shook. Suddenly, a bright pillar extended from the ground and fell to the ground with a loud bang. The red light on the barrier flashed and the lines of fire that appeared became even more ferocious. The nine fire dragons that were originally coiling around the barrier suddenly drilled into the center of the small cauldron. Its huge body rapidly shrank and entered the golden flame in the middle.
The stone pillar in the middle was originally the color of an ordinary earthy rock. After the fire dragon above merged with it, it began to turn red. A lifelike fire dragon pattern began to appear on the surface of the stone pillar.
After a short two breaths of time, a red light flashed on the stone pillar, and the fire dragon on it suddenly opened its eyes. In an instant, it broke off from the pillar and swam freely in the sea of fire. A fist-sized fireball unceasingly attacked Gu Zheng's position, smashing the crystal light unceasingly and causing it to flicker unceasingly.
Even the surrounding flames, under the support of the fire dragon, increased the temperature by ten percent.
If a Celestial Immortal was placed here, he would be burned alive in less than an incense stick's worth of time. However, the current temperature was far from enough for Gu Zheng. Instead, the fire dragon above was more of a threat.
Gu Zheng looked at the huge fire dragon above and then looked at the strange barrier. He faintly felt that this was not the magic treasure that he had imagined in his mind.
Regardless of whether it was or not, Gu Zheng's right wrist flashed red. A trace of red light extended along Gu Zheng's arm and connected to every part of Gu Zheng's body. Then, it suddenly disappeared.
Gu Zheng's entire body began to turn slightly red. However, under the flames that filled the sky, it was not eye-catching at all.
Young Master Qi, who was outside, did not notice it at all. He was still completely focused on the small cauldron above him. After taking a short breath, he spat out another mouthful of golden blood.
Similarly, a fire dragon entered the small cauldron from above and emerged from the stone pillar below.
After that, he would spit out golden blood every few breaths. With each mouthful, his face would turn paler. After nine mouthfuls of blood, his face was as white as paper. There was not a trace of blood to be seen. He was incomparably weak, like a patient who had just recovered from a serious illness.
However, the change in the barrier was also incomparably intense. The original scarlet flames had now turned into golden flames. The temperature inside was dozens of times higher than before. Gu Zheng's figure was completely submerged and no trace of him could be seen clearly.
However, through the perception of the magic treasure, Young Master Qi knew that he was still inside and had not died.
"To be able to die under the legendary Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield, you can be considered to have died a worthy death. Even if your cultivation is heaven-defying, you will still be burned into nothingness in an instant. Let's see what else you can do." Young Master Qi looked coldly at Gu Zheng's position and said eerily.
There was an unconcealable complacency in his tone. It was as if he had already seen the other party's outcome.
"Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield? I think you're talking too much. A fake is a fake. Why do you have to have the same name as the real thing? What a hypocrite." Gu Zheng's sarcastic words came from inside.
After Young Master Qi consumed a pill, his complexion turned slightly better. He ignored Gu Zheng and leaped up. His entire body floated above the small cauldron. A golden light link connected him and the small cauldron, providing the small cauldron with the support of its transcendence energy. When Gu Zheng was burned into ashes, he would naturally know through the small cauldron.
Gu Zheng saw that after the other party closed his eyes, the crystal light formed by the Twin Jade Pearls was about to shatter. However, it had already completed its task.
He quietly released the shield and the raging flames instantly engulfed Gu Zheng. The fire dragon above him no longer spat out fireballs. Instead, pillars of fire shot out from its mouth. The milky white flames carried with them a raging inferno that could burn everything as they charged forward.
Gu Zheng's body was enveloped in a layer of faint red light. Although the flames were only a paper-thin distance away from Gu Zheng's eyes, they were like two different worlds. At that moment, Gu Zheng felt as comfortable as if he was running in a hot spring.
In terms of flames, not even the Primordial Samadhi Fire could compare to the Cleansing Glass Fire contained within the Li Ring. Even though the Li Ring's protection was enough to isolate everyone's flames, Gu Zheng had purposely made it look like he was in the middle of the flames. Even if Young Master Qi had been observing him, he would not be able to find any trace of it.
If this was really the genuine Nine Dragons, Gu Zheng did not need to do anything. He could just quietly wait for his death. Although that thing's power had changed according to its owner's cultivation, he would not be able to withstand it for a short period of time. Once the Primordial Samadhi Fire burned him, he would soon be burned to ashes. Not even a trace of him would be left.
The power of this fake was indeed extraordinary. However, under normal circumstances, in order to protect himself from the disaster of the flames, Gu Zheng's consumption of energy would definitely not be comparable to the other party's. Even so, without a few months of consumption, it would still be impossible to burn Gu Zheng to death.
Even if Gu Zheng didn't defend himself and just revealed his physical body for him to burn, with the Li Ring, it wouldn't be a problem for him to last for at least three months. He wasn't an ordinary human. If it was any other Golden Immortal stage human, if they were trapped inside and couldn't get out in time, they would really be refined into ashes in less than half a day.
Even if the power of this flame was close to that of the Primordial Samadhi Fire, the limit of ordinary flames was only so. To him, it was not much of a threat.
To him, the nine Fire Dragons above were the biggest threat. Even if it was a fake, the power of each fireball was no less than the attack power of an intermediate Jin Xian Stage cultivator. In just a short period of time, hundreds of fireballs smashed onto his body.
When the other party could not see, a spinning ring rushed out from Gu Zheng's bosom. As soon as it came out, countless flames surrounded him. However, the ring was not damaged at all. Instead, it felt like a fish in water.
Gu Zheng raised his hand and a strand of golden light connected to his body like a strand of hair. The surface of the ring began to flicker, and the surrounding flames would inadvertently disappear into thin air.
Gu Zheng was actually using the other party's fake to refine his own magic treasure. With such a unique environment, how could Gu Zheng not make use of it? Besides, with the other party's cultivation base, how could they last for three months? At most, the other party would have to stop after one day.
However, as long as he pretended to be a little more realistic, that would be enough time for him to completely refine the Li Ring. In the past, Gu Zheng had slowly wanted to fully control the Li Ring. However, during normal times, Gu Zheng had no choice but to stop.
Without a unique environment, there was no way to continue.
Unexpectedly, the enemy had given him such a unique environment. His guess was right. If he did not seize this opportunity, he would be letting Young Master Qi down.
Gu Zheng sat down cross-legged and quietly began to refine the Li Ring.
Thus, a strange scene appeared in the sky. The earth-shattering scene from before had suddenly turned silent. Gu Zheng and Young Master Qi, one above the other, sat silently.
The raging flames inside could not be felt from the outside. They could only feel a ball of fire burning inside.
At this time, the situation outside was different. Up in the sky, the originally nervous guards had now relaxed. While keeping an eye on the loose cultivators outside, they were also making bets with each other. They were guessing how many hours Gu Zheng could last.
Beside him, Shuang 'er had fallen into the golden barrier with teary eyes. In his heart, Gu Zheng was his savior. Apart from his fellow villagers, he was the person who treated him the best. But now, it seemed that he was going to die inside. Although he looked fine, he was still bitterly holding on.
Drops of tears flowed down his cheeks as Shuang 'er cried silently. He felt that he had brought this trouble to the other party.
'I want to avenge Young Master Gu Zheng.'
This thought suddenly appeared in Shuang 'er's mind. If Gu Zheng really died here, he would avenge him no matter what. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would not be afraid.
Chong Ding Shan and the others were still trapped in the same spot. Although they were too far away and couldn't see what was happening inside, they could clearly hear the roar of the explosion and the soul-stirring scene from afar.
Everyone's expression was very ugly. They did not know that the white shadow was already dead. They thought that the white shadow was fighting with the previous protectors. They were very glad that they did not go up to fight for the treasure.
At this time, the light curtain that surrounded them began to dim. Finally, after a few flashes, it disappeared without a trace.
Without saying a word, they flew back to the human kingdom. They did not want to get involved with this thing, nor did they dare to have extravagant hopes of obtaining it.
Even most of the people outside had come to their senses. Now, there were only a dozen or so brave people and yao who had stopped outside. The others had either left, or almost all of them had stayed far away, afraid that they would be affected again and lose their lives.
Time passed by, from morning to afternoon, but the entire hillside was still quiet. There was no movement inside the mountain.
At this time, the people on Young Master Qi's side began to panic. They had already found that something was wrong because no one could hold on for so long. Moreover, Young Master Qi's expression was not very good. Although he had the supplement of medicinal pills, such a huge consumption made him feel that something was wrong.
Moreover, after such a long time, more and more people arrived one after another. Once again, there was a circle of people surrounding them. Although they heard that there were Golden Immortal seniors among them, they still stayed because they wanted to be lucky.
After all, they had not seen the scene of the previous battle.
Moreover, two immortals of the early Jin Xian stage came here. They changed their appearance and mixed in with the crowd. After quietly asking about the situation inside, they decided to stay outside and see if there was a chance.
Of course, more people still retreated. Since there were a few more seniors of the Jin Xian stage, it could be said that they had nothing to do with it. There was no need to look for trouble.
In the end, only those with ulterior motives were here. They were not willing to easily take the risk of entering, but they were also not willing to go back empty-handed. Most of them were planning to fish in troubled waters.
Gu Zheng, who was inside the shield, was also not relaxed. He threw medicinal pills into his mouth as if they were free. Even if he ate too many at the same time, which caused a large part of the medicinal effect to be wasted, he could not care less.
At this time, he did not know how many medicinal pills he had eaten. In just half a day, his medicinal pills storage was less than half. It could be seen how much consumption was.
Gu Zheng did not expect that the further he went, the harder it was to refine the Li Ring. The consumption was even greater than when he resisted the fierce flames outside.
If it was not for the special environment here, he would have failed long ago. He vaguely felt that the item given to him by the lady in red was definitely a good item. It would definitely not harm him. However, there was a layer of special aura on it. It would not hinder his refinement, but was guiding him.
In fact, Gu Zheng also knew that he was stuck at the last step, where the last bit of Cleansing Glass Fire was. Let alone him, even Big Luo could not fully control it. If it was not for the fact that it was just a seed inside, he would not even think of refining it completely.
However, at this time, Gu Zheng could also feel that Young Master Qi seemed to be able to hold on a little longer. He was already trying his best, but the progress was slowly increasing. Even so, as long as he could hold on for a little longer, he would be able to refine it successfully. At that time, it would be his trump card.
Moreover, he could already feel the different feeling in the air. It seemed that the Heavenly Prime Plant in the mountain peak was about to enter its final stage. After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he put them aside and hoped that he could make it in time.
The golden lines in the air began to shine again. The initial red color of the Li Ring's body had faded. Now, the jade-white light was flashing continuously. When the jade-white color completely disappeared, it would be the moment when the Li Ring was completely refined.
However, he was already prepared. When the other party realized that something was wrong, he would definitely withdraw this fake protective shield. Who knows, he might have to fight a bitter battle.
"When the Li Ring is refined successfully, this time, I will definitely take your life."
Gu Zheng looked at the Li Ring before him. The jade-white color inside was only the length of a finger. As time passed, it was still slowly decreasing. He raised his head and looked up. His gaze seemed to penetrate the endless flames and saw Young Master Qi above. He thought to himself firmly.
