After arriving at the bottom of the cavern, Yi Tian and Dugu Can entered the cavern, facing the Ice Essence Flame directly in front of them.
The hole was only about two feet wide, and his Divine Sense seemed unable to extend into the hole to investigate. From time to time, the blue Ice Essence Flame would emerge from the cave, blocking all the intruding Divine Senses outside.
After Dugu Can drank the Returning Sun Water, he jumped in. A moment later, a blue flame appeared. The remaining flames turned into ice and blocked the exit.
Yi Tian extended his hand, and a black demonic light swept towards the solid ice at the entrance of the cave, instantly shattering the ice.
Thinking that Dugu Can might be in there for eight hours, Yi Tian decided to take advantage of this time to search through the cave one by one.
When he scanned the place with his Spiritual Sense, he found many skeletons scattered around. They were all cultivators of the Inferno Prison Devil Clan.
There were also some huge icicles nailed to the stone wall above. When his Spiritual Sense swept past the icicles, he found that there were many cultivator corpses sealed in them.
He thought back to City Lord Yan Lei mentioning that only two people had survived for a hundred years. Needless to say, these were all cultivators trapped in the icicles.
Yi Tian revealed a puzzled expression. It was reasonable to say that most of the cultivators here were similar to him. Their knowledge and courage were naturally top-notch experts. How could they knowingly commit a crime and be left behind here? Perhaps there were some unspeakable secrets.
As for people like Yan Tong, who had come here once, he didn't know how they passed.
Although he couldn't guess what he would encounter next, Yi Tian still focused his attention and waited quietly.
After half a day, he heard some sounds coming from the cracks in the Ice Essence Flame cave. Then a black figure flew out and landed not far in front of him.
When he saw the appearance, he found that it was Dugu Can, who was covered in ice. At this moment, he was holding the Soul Exterminating Crossbow in his hand. After the Heavenly Demon Transformation appeared around him, his body trembled violently as he said, "I'm done. Brother Yi, you can go."
Ten breaths later, he circulated his Qi and forced the cold Qi out of his body. Only then did he return to his normal state. At this time, his aura was much weaker than before. It was probably because he had consumed too much of his Demon Qi in the Ice Essence Flame Cave.
When Yi Tian saw this, he didn't beat around the bush and simply replied, "Fellow Daoist Dugu, please help yourself. I'll be going in now. Let's talk outside later."
After saying that, he took out the Returning Sun Water, opened the lid and poured it into his mouth. After he finished drinking, he put away the jade bottle and strode into the crack.
After the blue flame flashed past his eyes, he arrived inside the Ice Essence Flame Cave. Due to the rapid drop in temperature, Yi Tian had no choice but to activate a protective barrier to protect himself.
All around him were scattered flames, but the source of the flames was the high platform in front of him. Yi Tian looked at the high platform and saw that it was about three feet wide and five feet tall. There seemed to be a spiral staircase leading to the high platform.
Yi Tian became suspicious. He didn't know what could split so many Ice Essence Flames. The Demon Flames on his body instantly flashed and he used the Scorching Flame Devil Body.
Then, something unexpected happened. The Ice Essence Flames in the surroundings seemed to have noticed the change in his body and they quickly surrounded him.
Once the Ice Essence Flames pounced on him, they merged with the Demon Flames on his body and began to devour each other.
When Yi Tian noticed this, he hurriedly circulated his Qi to refine the Ice Essence Flames. At the same time, he discovered that his Scorching Flame Devil Body seemed to have improved.
It turned out that he could improve his Cultivation Method by devouring and refining the Ice Essence Flames. Thinking about it, it was an excellent place to cultivate.
However, at this moment, Yi Tian didn't reveal the slightest joy on his face. Instead, he frowned and revealed a deep worry. The surrounding Ice Essence Flames seemed to have found a target and were fiercely pouncing on him. There were about a hundred of them.
Yi Tian's expression sank. He first took out Yan Tong's Pill Furnace and poured three strands of Ice Essence Flames into it. Not long after, the Pill Furnace began to emit traces of cold air and the blue Ice Essence Flames instantly froze it into ice.
Seeing that the Pill Furnace could no longer be used, Yi Tian could only put it away. Then, he tried his best to refine the Ice Essence Flames on his body. Suddenly, he thought of the cultivators he saw outside that were frozen in ice and seemed to understand something.
Those people most likely cultivated the Scorching Flame Devil Body like him and this movement technique had a fatal attraction to the Ice Essence Flames. If he followed their example and retreated, he might end up being frozen as well.
Rather than that, it would be better to bravely go forward and see what was on the ice platform. With that thought, he reached out and formed a hand seal to display the full power of the Scorching Flame Devil Body. A horn as thick as a thumb slowly grew out of the top of his head. Although it was only three inches long, it was much longer than before.
At the same time, the black devilish flames around him flourished and kept the Ice Essence Flames a foot away from him.
After slowly walking onto the platform, he was greeted by the sight of a pill furnace that was half a foot in size. There was a thick layer of frost around the pill furnace. Blue flames continued to flicker within the pill furnace. From time to time, some wisps of flame would emerge from the cracks in the lid of the pill furnace and fly into the air before dispersing.
Needless to say, the Ice Essence Flames besieging him came from this furnace. Yi Tian turned to look at the words engraved in front of the pill furnace. After carefully reading it, he found that it was written in the language of the Devil Realm, 'Azure Ice Flame Cauldron'.
Next to it was a detailed description of the Devil Tool. After reading it, he learned that this was the place where the Devil Sage had stayed before he reached the Grand Ascension Stage. The Azure Ice Flame Cauldron was something that he had left behind, but far too much time had passed and the Devil Sage hadn't returned to retrieve it.
Since it was something left behind by a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator, it would naturally attract the attention of Body Integration Stage cultivators. As for Severed Soul Stage cultivators like himself, it was a peerless devilish treasure that they would go crazy over.
After three breaths of time, Yi Tian suppressed the greed in his heart and began to ponder. If this thing was really so easy to obtain, with City Lord Yan Lei's strength, he would've already taken it for himself. There was no need for him to leave it here.
If he touched the Devil Tool that he shouldn't have, he might draw fire to himself. Besides, his goal was to obtain the Ice Essence Flame, so there was no need for him to go too far.
With that in mind, he unleashed the full power of the Scorching Flame Devil Body and formed a barrier of black and red devilish flames around him. Then, he reached out with his right hand and gently lifted the lid of the Azure Ice Flame Cauldron.
With a whoosh, dark blue flames burst out of the cauldron and surrounded his body. Immediately afterward, Yi Tian felt a bone-piercing chill. In the blink of an eye, he discovered that a thin layer of frost had formed on his arm.
Seeing this, Yi Tian's True Fire, the Purple Thunder Flame, rushed out of his Niwan Palace and replaced the devilish flames on the Scorching Flame Devil Body. As a result, the chill in his surroundings was completely gone. He looked carefully and found that the Purple Thunder Flame was actively devouring the Ice Essence Flame.
