The Fire Cloud Cave was actually a large Meru Space opened up by the Li Fire Sect Patriarch. Upon entering the cave, Yi Tian felt that the fire spiritual energy was extremely rich. It was indeed a rare cultivation ground for Li Fire Sect cultivators.
He saw the other three discussing something by the side. From their words, it seemed like they had different opinions on what to do next. Yi Tian did not beat around the bush. He walked forward and asked, "How do the few of you plan to continue exploring?"
Hao Ji turned around and said, "Aren't I discussing with Daoist Du? However, there are many forks in this path. If we move together, we will naturally be of more help. However, this cave has a time limit. We can only stay here for three days. Once the time is up, we will be automatically teleported out."
As such, Yi Tian looked at Du Ziheng. He said, "We don't know how big this Fire Cloud Cave is, so we won't hinder each other if we split up to explore. When the time comes, even if we find any treasures, we won't have to worry about splitting them."
What he said was reasonable. Yi Tian looked at Shi Ningjun again. It seemed like Shi Ningjun was also in favor of splitting up. He coughed lightly and said, "Since everyone has different opinions, why don't we go our separate ways and explore?"
Seeing that it was three to one, Hao Ji had no choice but to nod her head in agreement. Following that, Du Ziheng found a fork and walked in without another word. Shi Ningjun followed closely behind and entered another tunnel.
After the two of them left, Hao Ji was also prepared to move. Suddenly, she heard Yi Tian's voice transmission, "Daoist, if you are interested, why don't we go the same way?"
Hao Ji frowned. She had an uncertain look on her face. After thinking for a while, she replied, "Since Daoist Huo agrees with Du Ziheng's suggestion, why do you want to go with me?"
In fact, Yi Tian had many questions. He wanted to ask Hao Ji about it. Without the two of them disturbing him, he could definitely suppress Hao Ji in a one-on-one battle.
After thinking about it, his lips moved again. Hao Ji thought for a while and sighed. Then, she took out the Li Fire Sect's jade scroll and handed it over.
After receiving the jade slip, he scanned it with his Divine Sense and found that most of it was recorded in the language of the Tianlan Continent. The content was the same as what Hao Ji said. There was a page at the end that was written in the Spirit Realm Language. Looking at the records, Yi Tian immediately felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
The description of this passage wasn't very detailed. There were some missing parts at the end. After reading it, he discovered that the Fire Cloud Cave was still suppressing the mounts that the vanguard of the demon race had slaughtered in the past. However, the last part of the passage was extremely vague. So, he couldn't figure out what it was.
However, when Yi Tian thought about it, he could not help but feel relieved. Even if Butcher himself had fallen into his hands, there was no need to be afraid of his mount. After thinking about it, he turned to Hao Ji and told her the contents of the records.
When the latter heard this, a hint of joy finally appeared on his face. "If that's the case, why don't we go together? Even if we find that mount, we can try to subdue it. Even if we can't, we can still retreat."
After Yi Tian nodded in agreement, the two of them found a passage and quickly walked in.
The passages in the Fire Cloud Cave extended in all directions. It was like an underground maze, but this was not a problem for Yi Tian. As the concentration of fire elements in the air gradually increased, the two of them passed through layers of passages and came to an empty stone room.
This room was about a hundred feet in radius. There was a stone tablet in the middle. There were some inscriptions engraved on it. Yi Tian slowly walked forward and cast a Cleansing Spell to sweep away the dust on the inscription. Then, he started reading the inscription according to the text.
When Hao Ji saw this, she also scanned the tablet with her Divine Sense. However, most of the inscriptions recorded the history of the Li Fire Sect. She was not interested in them at all.
Suddenly, a strong spiritual pressure fluctuation came from the passage behind them. It was getting closer and closer. In less than ten seconds, it would arrive at the stone room where the two of them were.
After Yi Tian probed with his Divine Sense, he asked Hao Ji with a face full of doubts, "Fellow, did you invite someone else? The person who came is clearly a cultivator of the same level as you and I. "
Hao Ji was also stunned. After she reacted, she replied with a doubtful expression, "That's impossible. I only invited three people this time. Could it be that Du Ziheng and Shi Ningjun invited helpers?"
After saying that, her face tightened. The spiritual pressure fluctuation was already very close. Instantly, a golden light flashed from the passage beside them. After the light faded, a bald monk appeared.
Hao Ji exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it you, Monk Wu Chen?"
Yi Tian looked over. It was really him. He thought to himself, "Didn't Monk Wu Chen chase after the demonic seed? Why would he appear here? Could it be?" Thinking of this, Yi Tian's face immediately turned ugly.
Thinking back, it was not strange. Since there was a slaughter mount here, the demonic seed should have sensed it.
Wu Chen put his hands together and said, "Fellow Daoist Hao Ji, how have you been?"
"If you have something to say, just say it. You people from the Great Wisdom Temple are always so hesitant. How did you follow us into the Fire Cloud Cave?" Hao Ji said impatiently.
"It's not a mistake. It's just that some demonic seed suddenly sensed some demonic source and changed its direction, leading me here," Wu Chen replied.
Yi Tian didn't waste any words and directly asked, "Did Grandmaster lose track of the demonic seed?"
Hearing this, Wu Chen's face flashed with surprise. Then he turned around and said, "I am truly grateful that Fellow Daoist helped me capture the demonic seed."
Hearing this, Hao Ji frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, why do you believe Monk Wu Chen's words so easily? Are you not going to verify it?"
Yi Tian indifferently replied, "It's fine. I have worked with Grandmaster Wu Chen before. I trust him."
"In that case, let's search quickly. If the Demon Seed finds the Demon Source first, the consequences will be unimaginable." After that, Wu Chen took out a small golden flag and held it in his hand. After chanting, he unfolded the Temple Blue Brocade Flag in front of him. It spun a few times in the air and flew directly toward a passage.
With a 'whoosh', Monk Wu Chen cast an escape technique and took the lead to chase after him. Seeing this, Yi Tian was unwilling to be left behind.
Seeing this, Hao Ji helplessly shook her head and could only follow. Shaoqing secretly asked, "Fellow Daoist Huo, do you know the background of the demonic seed? Why did it enter the Fire Cloud Cave?"
Yi Tian sighed and replied, "I reckon there's something in this Fire Cloud Cave that's attracting him. In any case, it definitely won't be anything good this time. Fellow Daoist Hao Ji, I'm afraid that we're facing a late-Nascent Soul cultivator."
The passageway seemed to have no direction, but under the guidance of Garam Banner, the three of them passed through layers of cobweb-like mazes and arrived at a fork in the road.
