At the exit of the Star Shifting Sea.
Bowen Yang watched as Chen Xiao and the rest left, then let out a long sigh.
"Young Master, you should be awake already, right?"
The young man on his back suddenly moved slightly.
Prince Ping Ling didn't say a word. He silently landed on the ground and stood up straight. His expression was cold. After a long while, he looked deeply at Bowen Yang, then said word by word, "It is indeed time to leave."
In fact …
On the second day of entering the Star Shifting Sea, Prince Ping Ling had already woken up.
However, his enemy, Chen Xiao, was just sitting at the side, and he couldn't think of any way to deal with it …
Rather than waking up and being humiliated, it was better to continue pretending to be unconscious.
But now …
Chen Xiao and the rest had all left. There was no longer any meaning for him to continue pretending to be unconscious.
Bowen Yang was stunned, "Young Master, are you really planning to leave?"
Prince Ping Ling said expressionlessly, "I'm just leaving the second stage, not leaving this Xuan Island. There are too many secrets on this island. Even if I can't obtain the Island Master's inheritance, I can still pursue other opportunities. "
Speaking up to here.
Prince Ping Ling's lips twitched, a cold smile flashed across his face.
"This matter isn't over yet! When I find more fortuitous encounters and break through my cultivation, I'll definitely fight him again! "
Hearing this, Bowen Yang immediately smiled bitterly, "Young Master, other things are fine, but the idea of fighting again … It's best not to have that idea, right?"
"Hmm?"
His extremely sharp gaze swept over, Prince Ping Ling snorted coldly, "Don't tell me that you mean to make me … be that person's defeated opponent for the rest of my life?"
Following his words, a wave of oppressive aura, with traces of coldness, suddenly spread out.
Bowen Yang immediately held his breath, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Young Master, I didn't mean that …"
"Since you didn't mean it, then shut up."
Prince Ping Ling said in a low voice. Without saying anything more, he directly walked out.
"This failure is only temporary. The next time we meet, I will make him and his woman kneel at my feet and lick the soles of my shoes!"
…
"This is the third stage?"
After leaving the second stage, they didn't walk far before the scene in front of them changed again.
Previously, the Star Shifting Sea was a vast and boundless sea of stars.
At this moment, what appeared before everyone's eyes was an extremely scorching desert.
In this desert …
In all directions, there were raging flames, the earth cracked, and lava surged. It was a hellish scene everywhere.
"We … we're going to break through … this desert?"
Nangong Xuan's face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
They were still in the outer region, but the heat waves were already rolling in their faces. In an instant, everyone was drenched in sweat and felt a burning pain in their bodies.
If he really stepped into it, wouldn't he be incinerated into ashes in minutes?
Shi Yuhuan was also drenched in sweat. Her originally white face was now exceptionally red, and her breathing was slightly rapid. She was like a ripe apple that people couldn't help but take a bite of.
Sweat also dripped down her skin, flowing over the girl's delicate collarbone and slipping into the restricted area under her collar.
"That's right, this is the third stage, Fire God Desert."
Only Chen Xiao.
He was the only one who remained calm and composed.
Not only did he not feel any discomfort, it was as if nothing had happened. His breathing was not hurried, and he was not sweating profusely. It was as if the high temperature of the surrounding flames did not exist at all!
"You should already know that this trial is also called the trial of the heart."
"The flames in this desert are all child flames of the Heart Burning Divine Flame. This flame is ranked 98th on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It doesn't burn the flesh, only the soul. The stronger your Dao-heart and will are, the less damage these flames will cause."
After that, Chen Xiao slowly explained the profundities of the Burning Heart Divine Flame to everyone.
Only at this time did everyone realize …
Just how astonishing were the benefits that Chen Xiao mentioned before!
"When a martial artist cultivates, the level of the soul is the most difficult to increase. Normally, it will only increase passively when breaking through."
"And in this Fire God Desert, everyone's soul will receive a deep level of tempering. It is equivalent to removing the impurities and retaining the essential, strengthening the soul's origin!"
"Although the total amount of soul light will decrease after each tempering, the quality will increase. More importantly …"
They looked at each other one after another, and an intense light flashed in their eyes.
Even if ordinary martial artists could temper their soul in the Fire God Desert and use this to remove the impurities and retain the essential to strengthen the soul's origin, their soul light would still be consumed after all. It was impossible to stay here for a long time.
But they were different.
They had just come out from the Ancient Divine Herb Garden not long ago. They had countless great medicines on them, and they could replenish their soul light consumption at any time and any place!
"If there are no more questions, then let's enter the desert now."
Chen Xiao said calmly, "Of course, in the Fire God Desert, be careful not to advance rashly because of greed, so as to avoid causing irreversible and permanent damage to your soul."
Everyone agreed one after another.
Yan Li, who had been an adventurer before, had a keen eye after all. He suddenly realized something and asked in a low voice at once, "Xiao, you're … not going with us?"
Chen Xiao nodded and raised his head to look at the sky. His gaze gradually deepened.
"Yeah, when you guys clear the third stage, there's someone I want to meet."
…
After Shi Yuhuan and the others stepped into the desert.
Chen Xiao watched them go far away. Then, his figure swayed, and like an arrow that had left the bow, he suddenly shot towards the sky.
The flames in the sky were even more vigorous.
They could almost distort the void and incinerate all living things in the world.
But Chen Xiao was still expressionless. An eternal and immeasurable Dao heart was blossoming with a lustrous radiance, and it easily suppressed the power of the Burning Heart Divine Flame.
After an unknown period of time.
He suddenly broke through a certain boundary. The surrounding flames instantly disappeared, and only a verdant azure space was left.
It was as if …
Inside and outside of that boundary were two completely different worlds!
"It's really here."
Chen Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
In the next moment, he raised his hand. A blazing divine glow burst out, and a terrifying power that could shake the Heavens and Earth spread out at that instant!
"After sleeping for so many years, it's time to wake up!"
Boom boom boom boom boom —
A ferocious power swept in all directions.
At a certain moment.
As if it had been disturbed, a majestic will suddenly awakened in this space.
"Who woke me up …"
As if it had been in slumber for too long, this will carried a sense of rawness, as well as a strong sense of decay. It was incomparably vast and ancient as it resounded in Chen Xiao's ears.
Chen Xiao grinned when he heard the voice.
"Old man, if you continue to play dumb, I'll tear apart your Mirage Crystal."
"Who are you …"
The owner of the voice was startled.
