The girl's straightforward question nearly confirmed Yi Yun's guess.
"You are the Heretical God Fire Seed?" Yi Yun asked directly.
The girl blinked her eyes and nodded.
None of the divine alchemist's scrolls mentioned that the Heretical God Fire Seed had the ability to take form. The girl had only taken form after the divine alchemist's death.
The Heretical God Fire Seed had gained sentience over the long years before taking the form of Ling Xiaoxiao.
Ling Xiaoxiao was the only human form she had seen in this underground world. However, with Ling Xiaoxiao nowhere to be found, her body had probably been reduced to dust over the hundreds of millions of years.
Only when the array lost its effectiveness and the phenomena occurred did the girl and the underground stone temple see the light of day again.
Why had the Heretical God Fire Seed lured him here?
"You have been alone in this underground world for hundreds of millions of years. If you could leave this place, you would have long left. However, you have been here all this while and even deliberately lured me here. Why is that? "asked Yi Yun.
"I wanted to leave this place, but I couldn't …"
As the little girl spoke, she sat down on the formation plate. Her lotus root-like legs swayed back and forth. "Back then, Master borrowed the power of the world to set up this formation. He thought he would succeed, but even after Master died, Miss Xiao Xiao did not come back to life. The formation continued to operate. During that long period of time, I gradually took human form. I also wanted to save Miss Xiao Xiao, but … even after I exhausted all my strength, I could only watch as the formation gradually weakened."
"As I had expended all my strength, I fell into a deep slumber. I have no idea how long I slept. When I woke up, I never expected that after hundreds of millions of years, the forces here had formed a natural worldly array. Furthermore, it had fused with the array formation left behind by Master."
"I was originally a part of the array set up by Master. Now that the array has fused with the worldly array, I realize that I can no longer leave."
When the girl said that, she hung her head. "The people who came in the past also wanted to take me away, but when they attempted to crack the array, they were killed by the array."
People were killed in the past?
Yi Yun faltered for a moment. Before the Sun Burial Sandsea phenomenon appeared, few people could enter the area. However, there were terrifying monsters outside the array formation, and there were killing arrays inside. Even mighty figures would probably perish if they came.
As for the people from the Divine Secrets Trading Company, they had to rely on the child-mother Heaven Secrets Compass to locate them, as well as the jade burial suits to get here. They were even more helpless.
There were just too many deaths and injuries suffered by warriors in search of opportunities. Yi Yun thought to himself as he sighed.
Upon seeing Yi Yun's expression, the girl seemed to feel a little guilty.
She just wanted to leave this place. She had been alone for too long. She had been trapped here for hundreds of millions of years.
"You don't have to feel guilty. Everyone here is here in search of treasures. Since it's a treasure hunt, there are naturally risks involved." Yi Yun could read the girl's mind. He never expected her to be so kind.
Wasn't she called the Heretic God Fire Seed?
Yi Yun's impression of the Heretical God Fire Seed was that, even if it was not extremely evil, it should be indifferent to the life and death of all life. It should do whatever it wanted.
But wasn't this young lady's image a little too different?
"Why are you called the Heretical God Fire Seed?" Yi Yun could not help but ask.
The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I seemed to have some fragmented memories when I was born, but after an unknown period of time, these fragmented memories seemed to be sealed. Later, I left the Sinkhole and followed Master. I slowly grew and became stronger. After Master died, I used about tens of millions of years to slowly take human form …"
Although it was said that top treasured herbs and spiritual items could take human form, sometimes, the more extraordinary a treasure was, the harder it was to take human form.
The Heretical God Fire Seed only succeeded after the divine alchemist's death by gathering the pure Yang energy of the world in a massive array.
Yi Yun did not know if the girl was considered a living being. He could sense that the girl had lifeblood powers that were no different from an ordinary person. He could even sense the soul within her.
It was also because of these reasons that Yi Yun had preconceived notions that the girl was Ling Xiaoxiao. She was a living person. He never imagined that she was the Heretical God Fire Seed.
"Do you have a name?" asked Yi Yun.
The girl shook her head.
"Then, shall I give you a name … You are in this array to save Ling Xiaoxiao. Although you did not succeed, you ultimately took human form as a result. In a way, you were born because of Ling Xiaoxiao. In the future, you shall be called Ling Xie'er."
Ling Xie'er?
The girl was taken aback for a moment before she nodded. She cocked her head in thought and seemed to like the name very much.
"Yea!"
Ling Xie'er smiled. Instantly, the frost Qi in the array weakened greatly. It seemed to be replaced by warmth.
Yi Yun found it fascinating. As the Heretical God Fire Seed, she had experienced hundreds of millions of years to give birth to a life that was no different from a human. Yet, she was as pure as paper.
She mentioned that she had fragmented memories when she was born. Then, what were those memories? Could they be from her previous life?
Yi Yun felt that Ling Xie'er was not as simple as she seemed.
Shaking his head, Yi Yun looked at the array formation that was naturally formed by the worldly forces. Xie Ling'er had said that she was one with the array and had already fused with it. Then, the lake and the array were likely one.
Although it was calm now, if he attempted to destroy the balance in the array formation, it would probably result in extremely dangerous changes.
Ling Xie'er looked up and said, "Do you want to destroy the worldly forces here?"
"Yea. There's no harm in giving it a try, "said Yi Yun.
Ling Xie'er shook her head. "But … you are too weak. Years ago, there were people stronger than you who failed."
Upon saying that, she paused for a moment before saying, "I brought you into the Divine Alchemy Cauldron because I felt that I had been alone for too long and needed someone to talk to. In fact, I wasn't hoping for you to bring me out."
Yi Yun rubbed his nose in embarrassment when a girl suddenly said that he was too weak. In fact, Ling Xie'er was right. He was indeed a little weak.
However, he had his advantages. Although his cultivation level was low, he had condensed four nine-leaf Dao fruits in his body. In terms of the worldly forces and his insights into pure Yang laws, Yi Yun could be said to be at the pinnacle.
Destroying the worldly forces did not depend on one's cultivation level, but on one's understanding of the laws.
Upon thinking of this, Yi Yun flew out of the Divine Alchemy Cauldron and found the black scrolls left behind by the divine alchemist. These black scrolls also contained records regarding the divine alchemist's final array formation.
Yi Yun was a Desolate Heaven Master after all. He knew quite a bit about alchemy. This was also a huge advantage for him.
