Yi Tian sat cross-legged in the sulfur fire essence and cultivated quietly for an unknown amount of time before he noticed that the Fire Origin Essence around him had changed. After opening his eyes and looking around, Yi Tian found that Shi Jinming, the Shi Clan Leader, who was originally sleeping a thousand feet away, had stood up at this time. He then looked up at the sky and seemed to be talking to someone.
Yi Tian looked up and saw two figures appear in the sky. One of them had spiritual pressure fluctuations that were not weaker than Shi Jinming's, and the other was a late-stage Doppelganger Realm cultivator. It seemed that they were also local cultivators, but he didn't know why they were here.
Facing two cultivators in the Form Synthesis Realm, Yi Tian restrained his spiritual pressure fluctuations and then calmed down to listen carefully.
After a while, Shi Jinming shouted, "Little Mo, why did you bring the Netherworld Boy here? It's already disrespectful to barge into my residence. Could it be that your Ink Feather Clan wants to stir up trouble in the Infernal Court?"
The Netherworld Boy and Yi Tian were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect to meet the strongest doppelganger of the Ink Feather Clan so soon. He looked up and saw that the Form Synthesis Realm cultivator in the sky had the figure of a seven or eight-year-old child and was surrounded by a gray netherworld aura.
The child was wearing a brocade robe and was holding a baby's rattle in his hand. However, Yi Tian didn't dare to be careless. He looked at the rattle and saw that there was a faint flash of light on it. It was obviously a supreme-grade Heaven-grade spiritual artifact.
The Netherworld Boy said, "Shi Jinming, you have so many resources, but you can't improve the Shi Clan's status in the Infernal Court. You're really useless."
"Netherworld Boy, don't be so arrogant. The Infernal Court is not a place where you can be arrogant," Shi Jinming said as if he was not afraid at all.
Yi Tian didn't expect him to act like this. Logically speaking, the Netherworld Boy's strength was far above Shi Jinming's. However, it seemed that he didn't care about the Netherworld Boy at all, nor was he afraid of him.
"I'm here today to exchange for a portion of Yellow Spring Mica. I'm sure you have enough," the Netherworld Boy said in a tender voice.
Yi Tian noticed that his voice and tone were somewhat similar to Ferocious Mad's. At the same time, he looked at him carefully.
When Shi Jinming heard this, he said angrily, "You want to trade? Do you know what that 'Yellow Springs Mica' means to me?"
The Netherworld Boy curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Everything has a price. You just have to see if the price reaches your bottom line."
After saying that, Netherworld Boy took out a set of resources from the rattle-drum in his hand, put it into a storage bag, and casually threw it down.
Shi Jinming, on the other hand, reached out and grabbed the storage pouch. Then, he used his Divine Sense to examine it carefully. Ten breaths later, the expression on his face changed several times, as if he was unable to make up his mind.
On the other hand, the Netherworld Boy in the air didn't seem to care at all. He looked like he was going to eat him.
A moment later, Shi Jinming's rocky face showed a hint of determination. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Netherworld Stone Essence is of high quality. It is indeed an irresistible temptation to me. However, if you want to trade for a portion of Yellow Springs Mica, that's a bit too much. At most, half a portion. "
Unexpectedly, the Netherworld Boy raised his head and laughed, "Everyone says that the Stone Tribe is a blockhead, but it seems to me that you're quite smart. Although the Netherworld Stone Essence I brought can't compare to a portion of Yellow Springs Mica, its value shouldn't be so low that it's just a portion. How about this, I'll give you a piece of information to make up for the difference? "
Shi Jinming tilted his head and asked, "What kind of information could be so valuable?"
"In the Nether Realm, there will be an opportunity to open the entrance to the Celestial Realm fragment every few thousand years. This time, it will be around fifty years from now. When the time comes, you can come with Yan Qiu and Wan Gang," the Netherworld Boy said.
Hearing this, Shi Jinming waved his hand and said, "The last time you and my brother Shi Xiu explored, you also returned without any results. Now that he has fallen, this time you want me to join you because you lack a person, right?"
"You're quite well-informed, aren't you?" The Netherworld Boy said disdainfully, "You've been stuck in this realm for many years. Although the lifespan of a Stone Tribe cultivator is much longer than that of an ordinary cultivator, there is still a limit. If you don't take this opportunity, you'll be stuck here for the rest of your life. At least a few thousand years ago, your brother Shi Xiu was still a bit aggressive. I didn't expect you to be like this. "
Shi Jinming didn't directly refute. Instead, he lowered his head and thought carefully. It was clear that the Netherworld Boy had hit his sore spot. After a while, Shi Jinming sighed. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a palm-sized piece of yellowish-black soil. He gently handed it over and said, "Alright, although your information isn't very suitable for my current needs, I can still accept it. I wonder who you're going to ask for help this time? "
The Netherworld Boy reached out and took the 'Yellow Spring Mica'. He weighed it in his hand, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face. After keeping it, he turned around and said, "Most of them are old friends. You also know Yan Qiu, Wan Gang, and Wu Heng from the Ink Feather Clan."
"Aren't there five of them? Could it be that the rogue cultivator Pu can't get in?" Shi Jinming asked suspiciously.
"That guy doesn't have a fixed residence and has always been a lone wolf. It's natural that he can't find him." The Netherworld Boy said impatiently, "This time, there's a special guest who's here to help. Speaking of which, he has a lot of connections with me. At least, two of my clones were destroyed by him."
"What kind of person has such strength?" Shi Jinming was shocked. "Since that's the case, you guys are like fire and water. How can you guys work together?"
A murderous intent flashed across the Netherworld Boy's eyes. Then, he returned to normal and sighed. "Speaking of which, I invited you this time to make two preparations. However, that person gave me a condition that I can't refuse. So, I have to work with him. "
Shi Jinming's face turned serious. Then, he said, "It seems that he has something very important in his hands. Moreover, it's something that you approve of."
"He has a map." The Netherworld Boy shouted. "This kid has a good grasp of the situation. However, since he dares to come alone, I admire his courage."
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll go with you." Shi Jinming slapped his head and said, "I don't want to be trapped in this' Fiery Sulfur Pool 'either. However, as long as there's a chance, I have to try." Then, he looked around and stopped at the Ink Feather Clan cultivators.
After sizing them up for a while, he asked, "Why didn't that old bastard Wu Heng come out? Did he send you, the eldest disciple, to lead the way?"
The Ink Feather Clan cultivator's face turned serious. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The old ancestor is cultivating in seclusion. It's inconvenient for him to go out, so I'm here to entertain Senior Netherworld. However, the old ancestor once said that he admires Senior Shi Xiu's strength. If there's a chance, he would like to exchange a few moves with you. I hope Senior Jinming won't disappoint the old ancestor. "
"Hmph, that old bastard Wu Heng always likes to compare me with my big brother. However, this time, I'll fulfill his wish. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely exchange a few moves with him." Shi Jinming snorted coldly.
Yi Tian, who was hiding at the side, looked at Shi Jinming with interest. He secretly thought about the relationship between the Stone Clan and the Ink Feather Clan. It seemed that these two clans didn't get along well in the Infernal Court. Fortunately, the Ink Feather Clan still had a clan in the Nether Realm. In this world, they were just a branch.
However, from the tone of the Ink Feather Clan cultivator, it seemed that Wu Heng of the Ink Feather Clan wanted to expand the branch of the Infernal Court. Then, he would definitely be restricted by the local Snake Stone Clan. One was a dragon that wanted to make progress, while the other was a primitive inhabitant that had been here for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, there would be conflicts.
Seeing the two of them like this, the Netherworld Boy stepped forward to change the topic. He then took out a communication jade talisman and handed it over, "When it's about time, I'll naturally inform you. If you have any changes, let me know as soon as possible so that I can adjust the schedule."
After saying that, without waiting for Shi Jinming's reply, he turned around and flew straight in the direction he came from. The Ink Feather Clan cultivator behind him also followed closely. In a short while, the two figures disappeared into the horizon.
Shi Jinming reached out and took the jade talisman and kept it in his pocket. Then, he muttered a few curses to himself.
Just when Yi Tian thought that he would return to the Sulfur Fire Bath to continue sleeping, he saw him take a step forward and slowly walk towards his direction. He only stopped when he was a hundred feet away. Then, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath at the sulfur fire essence around him. In an instant, he swallowed several wisps of fire essence into his stomach. After a while, a satisfied look appeared on his face. He turned around and returned to his original bed to sleep.
Yi Tian heaved a sigh of relief at this moment. Then, he looked at Shi Jinming in the distance and smiled slightly. Who would have thought that he would run into the Netherworld Boy this time? Although he did not have a direct confrontation with him, he found that he was not as strong as he had imagined.
At least, with his current strength, it was unexpected that he could deceive his eyes and ears.
After a while, when Shi Jinming fell into a deep sleep again, Yi Tian slowly got up. He had already absorbed a sufficient amount of Sulfur Fire Origin Essence here and refined it. Now, it was time to leave. In order to avoid disturbing Shi Jinming, Yi Tian restrained his aura and slowly retreated.
When he reached the entrance of the passage, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the sulfur fire pool behind him. Then, Yi Tian turned around and saw several lava dragons flying in all directions.
Facing such a disorderly eruption of lava, Shi Jinming did not seem to take it seriously and just let it go. However, Yi Tian couldn't ignore it. When he saw the lava dragons rushing towards him, he had no choice but to quickly move away to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
After taking a closer look, he found that there was a pattern to the eruption of lava from time to time. Generally, it was in the direction of the exit. As for the sulfur fire essence, it was not affected at all.
However, because of this, the surrounding spiritual pressure fluctuations had a slight change. Under normal circumstances, Yi Tian could naturally hide his body and enter and exit without anyone noticing.
However, the moment he left this place, he unexpectedly encountered a lava eruption. This made Yi Tian really have no idea what to do. After the lava eruption ended and the scene calmed down, Yi Tian looked around and found that Shi Jinming was not lying at the place where he was originally lying. At the same time, a huge shadow covered Shi Jinming's position. Shi Jinming's body had more than doubled in size, transforming into a stone giant about 30 feet tall, blocking the entrance to the passageway.
After scanning the surroundings with his Divine Sense, he locked onto his position. Shi Jinming shouted, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
After saying that, he stretched out his palms and clenched his ten fingers into two basin-sized fists. He continuously punched the area where he was. When Yi Tian saw this, he knew that he could not be kind. The fists were like raindrops, attacking the area around him indiscriminately. Needless to say, Shi Jinming still did not lock on to his position, but one thing was for sure: he had sensed that something was wrong.
The fists were just to force Yi Tian to show himself. However, at this moment, Yi Tian was in a dilemma. Facing the bucket-sized fists, if he forcibly received them, he would definitely consume a lot of spiritual power. At the same time, he would also expose his position. If he tried to escape, he would use the surrounding spiritual power.
At this point, Yi Tian had a whole new level of respect for Shi Jinming. At the very least, this blockhead was not as simple-minded as he had imagined. Originally, he thought that he could only use force to deal with this stone giant, but now, he had a different idea.
In an instant, his spiritual power surged and he mobilized the Infernal Prison Demonic Fire. Two black and purple flames suddenly gathered on his hands and wrapped around his fists. Looking at the incoming fists, Yi Tian did not hesitate to attack.
Bang, bang, bang. In three breaths, he exchanged hundreds of fists with Shi Jinming in the air. The huge impact cracked the rocks behind the two of them. His legs sank deep into the ground, creating two huge pits in the ground.
Shi Jinming did not expect that the opponent who suddenly appeared would be so strong. Facing the indestructible fists of the stone giant, he did not show any fear. After exchanging blows, the two of them were evenly matched. Shi Jinming licked his lips and said, "You are indeed strong. Let's go again. Let me see how strong you are."
Without waiting for Yi Tian to reply, Shi Jinming's spiritual power surged. He reached out his right hand and gathered all his spiritual power there. Then, he stomped on the ground and disappeared like an arrow.
Yi Tian didn't expect that this blockhead's movements weren't slow at all despite his huge stature. Yi Tian estimated that this blockhead was at least three times taller than himself. When the two of them exchanged blows, it was like an adult fighting a baby. The only difference was that while Shi Jinming was fast, he was faster.
Boom! Shi Jinming's fist fiercely smashed on the surface of the ground, and immediately, the power of his fist was transmitted into the fiery pool. After being smashed by him, the lava that had calmed down began to boil again and turned into fire dragons that rushed out of the lava pool.
