"The people from the Seven Star Dao Palace do not know the way, nor do they have jade burial suits. It will take them quite some time to catch up to me, so I can ignore them for now." Yi Yun thought as he walked.
After walking in the underground world for a period of time, Yi Yun felt the surrounding air turn hotter. The rocks beneath his feet turned crystalline from the high temperatures, as though there was a red liquid flowing within them.
He compared the map in his mind and discovered that he had entered the core region that the elder had marked out for him.
The moment he entered the core region, the map became useless. Yi Yun's actions immediately became even more careful.
He slowly proceeded forward in search of the location of the Yang spirit.
At that moment, he heard a faint rumbling sound in front of him. Yi Yun initially imagined that something terrifying had appeared, but when he stealthily approached, he was stunned.
In front of him was a majestic molten waterfall. The surging molten metal splattered with countless sparks as it flowed down from above. And beneath the waterfall was deep underground.
Yi Yun stood by the edge of the waterfall and looked down. He could faintly see the flickering of flames. It was estimated to be a thousand feet deep, and a terrifying pure Yang aura constantly surged out from beneath.
"What is this place …" Yi Yun was surprised to see such a spectacle in the underground world.
At that moment, Yi Yun was suddenly taken aback.
He saw a young girl standing on the other side of the waterfall. She was looking down the waterfall just like him.
The girl looked to be about nine or ten years old. She had her hair tied into two buns and her face was round. She looked like she was carved from jade and she was a living beauty.
In this terrifying underground world, the sudden appearance of such a cute little girl really made people unable to come back to their senses.
When Yi Yun looked at her, the girl seemed to sense that someone was watching her. She looked up and her big eyes looked at Yi Yun. She cocked her head as though she was surprised.
For some unknown reason, Yi Yun seemed to hear her voice despite the girl not saying a word.
"After the previous batch of people came, many more people came this time, but I didn't expect that the first one to come would be you. Didn't the other batch have the numbers advantage? "
The girl's voice was thin and sweet. It was extremely endearing.
Yi Yun's heart stirred. The previous batch of people?
Could the girl be referring to the Divine Secrets Trading Company, Ji Shuiyan's grandfather, and company? As for the other group, it was likely referring to the Seven Star Dao Palace.
This little girl was very mysterious. Her appearance here was definitely related to this place.
"Little girl, who are you? The person you were talking about is … "
Just as Yi Yun's voice faded, the girl suddenly let out a peal of bell-like laughter. And amidst her laughter, she leaped forward, sending her petite and adorable body straight down the waterfall.
"This …"
Yi Yun hurriedly took two steps forward and stuck his head out to look down.
Hot air billowed out from below, blowing Yi Yun's hair. If a warrior with insufficient strength were to do what Yi Yun did, the lightest consequence would be having their eyes burned, and in the worst case scenario, they would be reduced to ashes.
But in this heat wave, the little girl's figure was like a nimble swallow, falling to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
"This little girl is obviously very familiar with this place." Yi Yun pondered for a moment. He was searching around like a headless fly, and it was possible that he would end up stumbling into some unknown danger.
The people from the Seven Star Dao Palace might eventually escape the humanoid monsters and catch up to him. He had to make the best use of his time.
The girl was extremely strange, and the pure Yang energy at the bottom of the waterfall was much purer than anywhere else …
"Let's go down." Yi Yun did not hesitate any further as he flew down.
The moment he entered the waterfall's vicinity, Yi Yun immediately felt like he was in the middle of a furnace. He hurriedly strengthened his Yuan Qi barrier and stimulated his pure Yang body as he rapidly plummeted down.
Boom!
Yi Yun landed on a red boulder.
At the bottom of the waterfall was a deep pool filled with tumbling red molten iron. If a living creature were to fall in, not even their bones would be left behind.
At that moment, Yi Yun saw a pair of gigantic eyes appear in the deep pool.
The pair of eyes were the size of bronze bells and they were extremely cold. It made Yi Yun break out into a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he was wearing the golden jade clothing, so the eye ignored him and quietly sank back into the deep pool.
Yi Yun vigilantly observed his surroundings and hurriedly searched for traces of the girl.
His gaze swept across the edge of the deep pool, and he saw a petite figure walking towards a huge cave entrance.
Yi Yun immediately chased after her.
The moment he reached the cave's entrance, Yi Yun was stunned once again.
There were two gigantic metal doors at the cave's entrance. There were countless metal swords embedded in the doors.
Yi Yun took a glance and realized that the quality of the metal swords was not low. However, a large number of them were incomplete and unusable.
"Why are there so many incomplete metal swords here …"
These metal swords were extremely old. The oldest had already been reduced to a pile of metal filings, while the newest was covered in rust. The difference between old and new was probably hundreds of millions of years.
According to the legends of the Sun Burial Sandsea, this was the land where the sun fell. But now, Yi Yun had seen traces of human existence deep underground.
"Where is this place?" Yi Yun stood by the door and hesitated for a moment before stepping into the cave.
The moment he entered the cave, Yi Yun immediately felt his vision blur. The surrounding space instantly changed. Yi Yun turned vigilant as he placed his hand on his interspatial ring.
In a blink of an eye, Yi Yun's feet touched the cold stone. When he looked over, he realized that he had arrived in a hall made of boulders.
The hall was situated deep underground in a cave. It had been sealed for tens of thousands of years. As Yi Yun stood there, a desolate aura seemed to linger around the boulders beneath his feet.
There was a statue erected in the middle of the hall. When Yi Yun walked over, he saw that the statue was that of the girl. There were words engraved beneath her.
"My beloved daughter, Ling Xiaoxiao."
The words were bold and forceful, but they exuded a sorrowful aura that could not be erased by time.
"There's indeed someone living here. This girl's name is Ling Xiaoxiao. She's the beloved daughter of a senior. How old is this girl?" Yi Yun looked at the statue in disbelief. Could he have seen a ghost?
Suddenly, Yi Yun looked up abruptly.
A pair of white and tender little feet were swinging on a beam.
"Are you Ling Xiaoxiao?" asked Yi Yun.
The girl was running around alone and the stone hall had been abandoned for a long period of time. It was likely that the person who made her statue was no longer around.
The girl smiled faintly and gently jumped down. She turned around and ran into the hall.
Yi Yun was taken aback. He sensed that the girl had the intention of leading him here and also guiding him.
