The entire great hall, suddenly quietened down. All of the ferocious flames had disappeared, the great hall was once again enveloped in the faint red light emitted from that volcanic well, only above their heads, where the strange fire beast had appeared, revealed a circular hole leading to the second level. Xiao Hui quietly called out, slowly sat on the ground, sat beside Ghost Li, quietly looked at its master, and then, looked at the huge wound on its stomach.
It quietly waited. The pain gradually faded, his life instincts pulled him out from the darkness. Ghost Li slowly opened his eyes. The immense pain was like an invisible raging fire that had just burned through every inch of his skin. It didn't leave any marks, but it had already exhausted him. He breathed deeply, his hand felt icy cold, the 'firestick' was still beside his hand, accompanying him. Firestick... he suddenly laughed bitterly in a low voice, cries were heard beside him.
Ghost Li turned to look, Xiao Hui was crouching beside him, looking at himself. Its huge body had already turned back, and was once again the little monkey nestled beside his hand. Just that the wound on its stomach had changed colour from blood, and the third eye glimmering with faint golden light on its forehead, were reminding him of what had just happened. Ghost Li suddenly smiled, faced Xiao Hui, slowly sat up, stretched out his hand and gently stroked its head.
Xiao Hui grinned, called out twice, used its hand to scratch its head. The red light in the great hall gently flowed, shone on their figures. Ghost Li secretly checked his body, only felt his body was exhausted but the meridians in his body after that unbelievable internal battle, seemed to be fine. Just that he could not understand why the usually gentle and pure Inferno Mirror suddenly became so violent, after thinking about it, it seemed to be related to this Inferno Altar that he was in, and that strange fierce formation just now.
Ghost Li tidied up his torn clothes and then tore off a piece of cloth, carried Xiao Hui over, carefully bandaged the wound on its stomach. Xiao Hui lowered its head, its three eyes blinked, looked at the abdomen that suddenly had a belt like thing, called out twice, seemed very curious, its hands touching it non-stop.
Right now Ghost Li's strength was gradually recovering, carrying Xiao Hui, he stood up and looked around. The hall was riddled with scars. Traces of a fierce battle could be seen everywhere, but for some reason, most of the scars were on the ground and not on the walls. And the circle of stone carvings under his feet, at this moment, had regained its calmness, staying there as if it was alive. He stood there and pondered for a moment, for a moment he could not figure out how long he had been in this Inferno Altar but obviously that Shangguan elder who was guarding this place had not returned yet, most likely because he knew that the Inferno Altar was protected by a fire beast that was why he dared to leave!
Then, his gaze fell on the round hole above his head that led to the second floor. Some of the red light in the hall floated up, but from below, only a small part of the cave entrance could be seen, and it seemed to be dark beside it. Ghost Li looked at the darkness, suddenly said to Xiao Hui, "Let's go up and take a look! Alright? "Xiao Hui grinned in his arms. Ghost Li gently patted its head and then placed Xiao Hui on his shoulder, took a deep breath, his entire body slowly floated up, left the ground and flew towards that cave entrance.
He ascended very slowly, extremely carefully, nobody knew if there were any other monsters guarding this mysterious altar. But the surroundings were quiet, until he reached the second level of the altar, there were no attacks. Apart from the faint red glow coming from the round hole on the second level of the altar, the surroundings were pitch black. However, in the depths of the darkness, there was an object that was glowing faintly. Ghost Li walked over there. It was a stone platform that was about half the height of a person and had the shape of a pillar. The entire stone was completely different from the crimson rocks around it. At the same time that it emitted a faint coolness, the glimmer that was emitted from the stone pillar was actually continuously changing colors. Sometimes it was slightly red, sometimes it was light purple, sometimes it was light yellow, and sometimes it was dark green. It was extremely beautiful. And on the flat surface of the stone platform, there was a circular indentation, engraved beside it were three words - Inferno Mirror!
Ghost Li's gaze, unexpectedly landed on his right arm, in the middle of his tattered clothes, indistinctly revealed the primitive fire totem of the Inferno Mirror. He gently untied the treasure, stared at it for a moment and then placed it into that indentation, it was actually flawless. After a while, a deep sound was heard from above. Ghost Li and Xiao Hui looked up at the same time, the stone slab above them, in the deep sound, slowly opened up, revealing a cave. Almost at the same time, the surrounding temperature unbelievably dropped, from the initial scorching heat to cold like ice. Against that faint red light, they could even see the cold white air drifting down from that round hole to the third level. The extreme hot and extreme cold air, actually existed in this Inferno Altar at the same time!
Ghost Li revealed a faint smile, took the Inferno Mirror from the stone platform and kept it in his bosom, without saying anything more, again flew towards the highest level. The surrounding air turned colder and colder, the heat from the volcano below seemed to be unable to affect this place at all, to the extent that when Ghost Li stepped onto the third level, he realized that there was a thick layer of ice beneath his feet.
There was nothing giving off light here but after Ghost Li's eyes slowly adapted to the surroundings, he discovered faint faint blue lights, gently emitted from every corner. That was the solid ice that had been frozen for an unknown number of years, as if softly telling something. He slowly walked forward, and the sound of his footsteps on the ice spread out, breaking the silence that seemed to have existed since ancient times. Suddenly, a deep and slightly surprised, gentle yet desolate female voice, faintly sounded in the darkness, "You are not ShangGuan Ce?" Ghost Li immediately stopped, the next moment, his eyes stared intently at the deepest part of the darkness, unhurriedly said, "I am not?" That voice was silent for a while, slowly said, "Who are you?" Ghost Li asked in reply, "And who are you?"
The blue light emitted from the solid ice seemed to flash, that female voice was silent. The next moment, two balls of faint light, like endless deep eyes, flashed, flashed in the deepest part of the darkness, staring at Ghost Li and Xiao Hui on his shoulder. Finally, it landed on the Soul-Absorbing stick in his hand. "That monkey on your shoulder, is the Three-eyed Spiritual Monkey right?" Ghost Li's heart turned cold, did not reply, instead Xiao Hui who was crouching on his shoulder bared its teeth and called out into the darkness, as if demonstrating its might. That female voice did not mind, slowly said, "That magical weapon in your hand, is it 'Sinister Orb' and the ghost 'Soul-Absorbing Orb', smelted using the Evil Sect's' Blood Refining Great Skill '?" Ghost Li's body shook, his pupils contracted.
That female voice seemed to softly laugh, unhurriedly said, "Soul-Absorbing Orb and Sinister Orb are the most vicious and evil objects in the world, especially Sinister Orb, it contains ruthless evil power, invades one's soul without form. I can see that although your skills are not low but the evil power has already penetrated deep into your body, sooner or later you will go mad and die. "Ghost Li coldly said," Who exactly are you? " That female ignored him and continued, "That monkey beside you, although it is known as the spirit of all living beings and right now its Heaven Eye has already opened but I see that under its Heaven Eye's golden light there is an indistinct red ferocious glint, it must be because it has been accompanying you and has been invaded by the Sinister Orb's evil power, given time it will also become a savage beast that slaughters living beings, why not change its name to 'Three-eyed Spiritual Monkey'."
Ghost Li was greatly shocked, for a moment he was speechless. Xiao Hui's abnormality, he had also gradually noticed it but now that this mysterious female had so clearly said it out, for a moment his mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, he was at a loss. Instead Xiao Hui pretended to be angry, hissed loudly and bared its sharp teeth at the darkness. That female voice suddenly laughed, faintly said, "You are angry, he he, why do you have to be like this?
We are both natural spiritual beings, you understand me, I also understand you, why do you have to lust after the worldly prosperity and human relations? " Ghost Li recollected his emotions, calmed his mind, his eyes gradually turned cold, the Soul-Absorbing stick in his hand also gradually glowed with dark-green light, coldly said, "If you still don't show yourself, don't blame me for being impolite!" That female voice snorted and said, "You are not FenXiang Valley disciple and can actually reach the third level of this Inferno Altar, you really have some abilities.
Is ShangGuan old ghost already dead? But even if he is not here, you are actually able to break through the 'Eight Savage Inferno Formation' guarded by the 'Red Flame Beast'... " Suddenly, that female voice suddenly rose sharply, as if she suddenly thought of something, her voice surprisingly had an additional trace of agitation. "Not right, no matter how high your skills are, other than ShangGuan old ghost, in the entire world only... only the Inferno Mirror can open the third level of this altar. You, you have the Inferno Mirror with you? "
Speaking till the end, as if reflecting her agitated voice, instantly the hard ice around Ghost Li lit up with blue light at the same time. Ghost Li frowned but before he could react, that pair of faint eyes in the darkness, had already landed on the Inferno Mirror in his bosom. The ancient flame totem, seemed to be slowly burning. "Inferno Mirror!" A sharp long cry, that female voice instantly rose, mixed with innumerable pain, surprise, sorrow, despair and a trace of desolation. "Why, why is the Inferno Mirror with you? Where is Xiao Liu? Where is Xiao Liu … "she screamed, as if she had lost her mind.
On the mysterious third level of the Inferno Altar, deep in the darkness, suddenly blue light exploded, countless shadows danced under the faint blue light, swam restlessly in the gap between the darkness and light. A figure, as if flying out from the dark abyss, and also as if walking out from the ancient desolation, like a demon gigantic figure, danced in this space.
Ghost Li was stunned, even if he saw something even more ferocious and terrifying, he had already mentally prepared himself. But when he saw clearly that figure in front of him, he was still stunned. Memories from long ago instantly surged up, filled his mind, even Xiao Hui who was on his shoulder screaming at the front, he turned a deaf ear. Behind that figure, there seemed to be nine shadows dancing like a nightmare. He slowly, slowly, with a bitter voice said, "Nine-tailed celestial fox!"
