Mu Qingxiao couldn't bear to see the Fire Qilin's pained appearance. Its scales were hard and its skin was thick.
But after living for over a thousand years, its intelligence was at most that of a ten-year-old child. It couldn't display its full strength.
Otherwise, with the Fire Qilin's terrifying strength at the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, it wouldn't have died at the hands of Nie Feng.
What puzzled Mu Qingxiao was how the Fire Qilin had gone berserk. Its cultivation relied on absorbing the purest essence of the world.
Its strength had also increased with the passage of time. However, things like Qi Deviation were nothing if it happened to a human, but if it happened to a Divine Beast, it was unusual.
Qilins were originally auspicious beasts and had a gentle temperament. After several years of being together, Mu Qingxiao could feel its kindness.
Seeing the Fire Qilin's claws attack him, Mu Qingxiao put away his soul sword and temporarily dodged.
If he attacked now, he would definitely injure the Fire Qilin. After being together for so many years, there was already a bond in his heart.
He knew that the Fire Qilin wouldn't act like this for no reason. There had to be a problem somewhere. What could have caused the gentle Fire Qilin to become so berserk?
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Mu Qingxiao's mind. He thought of the place where the Fire Qilin cultivated and played. It was the magma pool in the deepest part of Lingyun Cave, the location of the supreme treasure.
The problem had to be in the magma pool.
Mu Qingxiao's figure flickered as he easily dodged the Fire Qilin's claws. But his heart was bitter. Luckily, the Fire Qilin's mind was like a ten-year-old child's.
Otherwise, with his strength at the sixth level of the Golden Core realm, facing the peak ninth level of the Golden Core realm like the Fire Qilin would be a dead end!
For half an hour, the man and beast shuttled through the maze of Lingyun Cave. After a long time, the Fire Qilin stopped moving. It panted heavily, as if it were tired from playing.
Seeing the Fire Qilin's eyes gradually return to its original state, Mu Qingxiao tentatively asked, "Qilin, have you recovered?"
"Roar!"
At this time, the Fire Qilin's thoughts were hazy. It shook its large head and spat out a ball of sparks. It roared several times, as if it was recalling the incident where it had gone berserk.
Two minutes later, the Fire Qilin raised its head again. It had already returned to its normal appearance. Its golden eyes had an apologetic look, but there was also happiness and confusion.
It was as if he was saying, "Little friend, you're back."
Mu Qingxiao smiled faintly. Fortunately, she had arrived in time. Otherwise, this fellow would definitely go out and harm the common people after he had gone berserk.
"Let's go. Let's put everything else aside for now. Let's go to your lair and see why you went crazy."
Roar! Roar!
.....
.....
Mu Qingxiao followed behind Fire Kylin and returned to the magma cave. The walls were red, the temperature was as hot as usual, and the Spiritual Qi was as rich as usual.
A huge bubble gushed out from the magma and finally exploded. A wave of hot air accompanied by white smoke spread out in all directions.
Mu Qingxiao frowned and walked to the side of the magma pool helplessly. He mobilized his Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi, wrapped his arm, and slowly reached into the magma …
Five minutes later, Mu Qingxiao finally pulled her arm out of the magma pool. Her expression was slightly strange. The surface temperature was as high as a thousand degrees, and the deeper she went, the higher the temperature became. She did not know how deep it was!
Just now, when she reached her hand into the magma pool, she was not only testing the temperature but also estimating it.
Under such hot temperatures, she had to use Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi to protect her body. Otherwise, she would be roasted in an instant. She did not know how long she could stay in the magma pool.
Taking a deep breath of hot air and looking at the boiling magma, Mu Qingxiao hesitated for the first time.
What exactly was hidden below that could bring about such a change?
Something that could make a gentle divine beast like Fire Kylin go crazy was definitely not simple. She still did not know how dangerous it was.
Mu Qingxiao's eyes flickered and his expression changed slightly. He was very concerned about the secret hidden below. If he did not find out, it would be like a thorn in his flesh.
But because of his caution, he did not dare to go down and explore.
Thinking of Sakyamuni's undying and unparalleled strength, Mu Qingxiao was a little tempted. After refining the last divine stone, although his strength would increase by a lot, it would still be very stressful!
Perhaps the treasures below could greatly increase his strength.
Mu Qingxiao did not know Sakyamuni's strength, but he had lived for thousands of years and had phoenix blood in him. He was at least at the eighth or ninth level of the Golden Core Realm, or even at the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm!
If he was not confident, Mu Qingxiao would definitely not rashly confront him. If his strength could reach the level of Sakyamuni, the risk was worth it.
Since he had made up his mind, Mu Qingxiao would not dilly-dally any longer. The hesitation in his eyes dissipated and turned into determination. Looking at the bursting bubble, his deep eyes revealed endless solemnity.
He had no idea how deep the magma pool was or how high the temperature was below. If he wanted to thoroughly explore, the risk was necessary.
Based on the surface temperature, he needed to be at least at the Golden Core Realm and protected by Spiritual Qi to be able to go down.
If he was at the Great Grandmaster Realm, it would be very good if he could last for half an hour. Wanting to explore was tantamount to a fool's dream!
The terrifying heat of the magma was not something that ordinary cultivators could withstand. Even Mu Qingxiao, who was at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm, was not completely confident.
"Qilin, the reason for your madness is probably in the magma pool. I want to go down now to investigate, so …"
"Roar!"
Before Mu Qingxiao could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Fire Qilin's low growl.
Its eyes were filled with anger, and it resolutely chose to go down with Mu Qingxiao. Moreover, it was not afraid of magma.
It had gone mad many times before, but it did not care too much. However, it was completely different this time. Just now, it had almost hurt its little friend who was playing with it. It had to investigate.
After living with each other for so long, Mu Qingxiao naturally understood what it meant and nodded with satisfaction.
Standing beside the magma pool, Mu Qingxiao no longer hesitated. He took out his Soul Sword, and Yin-Yang Spiritual Qi surged out, forming a circular protective barrier that covered his body 360 degrees!
When the Yin-Yang Spiritual Qi completely covered his body, Mu Qingxiao did not hesitate and jumped directly into the viscous magma. Immediately, a wave of heat splashed out, and countless bubbles rose and quickly burst.
Seeing Mu Qingxiao jump in, the Fire Qilin's eyes were full of joy, like a child who had encountered something interesting. With a low growl, it followed closely and plunged into the magma.
"Little friend, wait for me!"
