As he walked down the staircase, the feeling of being watched by an eye remained. Yi Yun decided to ignore the eye. He looked at the mountain walls on both sides of the staircase. The mountain walls were dark red in color, as if they had been burned by fire for eons. The texture was like glass, and when he reached out to touch it, it gave off a warm feeling.
In addition, the mountain walls were engraved with many profound and ancient symbols. These symbols seemed to be the same as the mountain walls, as though they had existed since the beginning of time. Just touching them with his hand was enough to sense an ancient primordial aura.
If he had enough time, he could gain some insights into these symbols here.
"This is an array formation." Yun Qiao'er slowed down and waited for them. Seeing Yi Yun caressing the symbols, she said.
"Is this used to suppress the Spirit of the Earth Fire? Or is it a Yuan Gathering Array? "Yi Yun immediately thought of these two possibilities when he heard that it was an array formation. The array formations engraved in the Fire Spirit Palace were either used to gather Heaven Earth Yuan Qi or to seal fire-elemental energy, preventing it from dissipating.
Yun Qiao'er shook her head and said, "No."
"Then what is it used for?" Yi Yun was somewhat surprised.
"We do not know either. It has been too long. Maybe it is sealing something." Yun Qiao'er said.
Yi Yun looked down into the pitch-black darkness. Deep in the depths, at an unknown depth, what was sealed?
It was hard to imagine what it was that had been sealed since ancient times, and who had sealed it …
To a normal martial artist, just walking down this flight of stairs was already extremely difficult, but to these Natal Opening Realm martial artists, this flight of stairs didn't count for much.
As they walked down the staircase, the scene before them suddenly opened up. In a spacious hall, the ceiling was about a hundred feet above the ground. And in the middle of the hall was a magma lake.
The magma lake was extremely wide, and the boiling, fiery red magma was bubbling and jumping in it. Even though they were still a distance away from the magma lake, the rolling heat waves were already inundating them. Warriors with insufficient cultivation levels would be roasted alive just by standing here.
Even Natal Opening Realm martial practitioners could be poisoned if they stayed here for too long.
Yun Qiao'er and Man Dao had just begun mining fire to temper their bodies and gain insights into fire-elemental laws. Their tolerance towards fire poison was not considered strong, so after standing there for a while, Yun Qiao'er's face was already flushed red. As for Man Dao, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
"Junior Brother Yi Yun, in order to resist the fire poison, you need to constantly circulate your Yuan Qi, so the expenditure is very fast. Most people would not be able to stay here for long before they have to leave. It's your first time here, so you might not be used to it. It's best we hurry … "As Yun Qiao'er spoke, she heard Yi Yun take a deep breath.
She turned her head and was surprised to see that Yi Yun did not even have a drop of sweat on his face, let alone being unable to withstand the fire poison.
Yi Yun had a pure Yang body, and pure Yang could be said to be the fire of the stars. It was a level higher than fire-elemental laws.
Just a pure Yang body was nothing in the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, but Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal. The Purple Crystal could naturally absorb the fire poison, transforming it into pure energy that flowed into Yi Yun's limbs and bones. To a certain extent, being in this space did not make Yi Yun uncomfortable, but instead made him feel comfortable.
"I cultivate in pure Yang laws." Yi Yun explained while stroking his chin when he saw Yun Qiao'er and Man Dao looking at him.
When Yun Qiao'er and Man Dao heard this, they were even more puzzled. What sort of pure Yang laws were these to be able to so easily resolve the fire poison? Didn't Yi Yun come from a desolate lower realm?
Although they were puzzled, it was not their place to directly ask Yi Yun about the profundities of the laws he cultivated in. After all, it involved Yi Yun's secrets.
"Junior Brother Yi Yun, the Spirit of the Earth Fire is in front. That place is extraordinary. The fire poison emitted by the lava is not even a tenth of the Spirit of the Earth Fire. "
Following Man Dao's line of sight, Yi Yun saw a white flower in the middle of the lava lake. It was naturally not a flower, but a dancing flame.
The white flame burning in the lava was the Spirit of the Earth Fire!
Compared to the pure Yang spirit that Yi Yun had absorbed back in the lower realm, this Spirit of the Earth Fire was a thousand times, no, ten thousand times purer!
Although it was just a wisp of flame, the energy contained in this wisp of flame was enough to burn the Tian Yuan world to ashes.
"The Spirit of the Earth Fire has existed since the birth of the land. Unless the land is destroyed, it will never be extinguished." Man Dao continued.
The Spirit of the Earth Fire was a manifestation of the fire-elemental laws in the world. It was a fusion of fire-elemental laws. The existence of the Spirit of the Earth Fire was so special, so it was no wonder Man Dao and Yun Qiao'er were astonished by Yi Yun's lack of fear towards the fire poison.
Yang Zishan and company, who had arrived before them, had already occupied a corner and were mining for fire.
Yang Zishan formed a seal with his hands as his Yuan Qi triggered a bean-sized spark from the Spirit of the Earth Fire before coming in front of him.
One could see that just this tiny spark was enough to cause a heat wave to billow in front of him. If he had not used his Yuan Qi to isolate the heat wave, his fur cloak would definitely have been burnt to a crisp.
Yang Zishan looked at the spark with a solemn expression. He carefully wrapped the spark with his Yuan Qi before opening his mouth.
Sou! The spark that was wrapped in Yuan Qi immediately flew into his mouth. Yang Zishan immediately sat cross-legged on the ground as large amounts of hot air emitted from the top of his head. Yang Zishan's eyes were tightly shut as his Yuan Qi fluctuated violently. Clearly, he was trying to gain insight and absorb the spark.
Yang Zishan was extremely powerful and he was extremely engrossed in his cultivation. Although he had seen Yi Yun and company arrive, he did not even give them a glance.
Seeing that Yang Zishan had successfully mined for fire, Man Dao grunted unhappily and said, "Let us begin as well. Junior Brother Yi, watch how we do it. Do not attempt it rashly. The Spirit of the Earth Fire is very dangerous."
Yi Yun and the others each occupied a spot. At this moment, there were dozens of Earth Fire Hall disciples mining for fire beside the lava lake. Yi Yun observed them and realized that the sparks they mined were smaller every time. After they absorbed the sparks, they would often reveal looks of pain. In contrast, Yang Zishan was indeed very calm.
Although Man Dao was displeased with Yang Zishan, he only dared to gather a tiny spark the size of a sesame seed when he mined the Spirit of the Earth Fire. Furthermore, he was sweating profusely before he slowly drew the spark in front of him.
The heat wave was so hot that he could barely stand it.
Yun Qiao'er also sat on the ground and began to focus on mining for fire.
Yi Yun looked around and through his observations, he realized that mining for fire was in fact very difficult.
First, one had to use Yuan Qi to separate the spark from the Spirit of the Earth Fire. If too much was separated, the warrior would not be able to control it and the spark would explode. The fire poison would then backfire on the warrior, making it uncomfortable in the best case scenario, or even injuring the warrior.
Hence, these warriors were very careful when mining for fire. Even Yang Zishan did not dare to mine too much. Yun Qiao'er and Man Dao mined even less.
