Chapter 175, Strange Fire
Chapter 175, Strange Fire
The Floating Light Sword could not be pulled out, and the Floating Light Sword Technique was also very difficult to practice. Now that he felt the movement of the Floating Light Sword, Hua Changxi looked at the three masters and apprentices Baili Changfeng who were walking in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then took out the Floating Light Sword.
Once the Floating Light Sword was taken out, her position was exposed and there was no need to hide anymore.
Therefore, Hua Changxi took off the invisibility talisman.
As soon as the invisibility talisman was removed, Hua Changxi, wearing a black cloak, appeared in the sight of Baili Changfeng, his master and his two disciples.
The cloak hood covered most of Hua Changxi's face. Although her features could not be seen clearly, Baili Changfeng and his two disciples could still tell from her figure and the exposed face that she was not very old.
The master and his two disciples were all a little upset about this, and they all felt that Hua Changxi was an old man who had taken some elixir to rejuvenate himself.
The giant platform was not easy to climb as the temperature in the air was too high. Even with the talismans, Xia Yang and Xia Xue could not bear it. Baili Changfeng also put on a talisman to resist the fire aura and held a letter to Hua Changxi.
"Senior, do you need a talisman?"
"I can still handle it, just protect yourselves."
Baili Changfeng felt that Hua Changxi's voice was too young. He glanced at her secretly again and began to waver in his previous speculation that she had taken an elixir to rejuvenate the old man.
With the revival of spiritual energy, those children of cultivation families who seized the opportunity are indeed one step ahead. Although the families control many cultivation resources, cultivation also requires opportunity and talent. Some younger generations, because of their high talent and many opportunities, will eventually catch up with many children of cultivation families.
The female cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage in front of him might not necessarily be an old man who had practiced for many years.
Hua Changxi didn't want the talisman, and Baili Changfeng didn't say much. After taking the talisman, he continued to move forward.
The fire spiritual energy in the air is very strong, but unfortunately, it is mixed with demonic energy and cannot be absorbed. Otherwise, this place would definitely be an excellent place for cultivation for cultivators with fire spiritual roots.
The higher they went, the hotter the air became, and the more violently the Floating Light Sword in Hua Changxi's hand vibrated. Later on the different road, she used her spiritual power to suppress the Floating Light Sword while vigilantly checking the situation around her.
Before she stepped onto the giant platform, she didn't see clearly what it was made of. Now that she was walking on it, she found that not only did the platform look like a volcanic pile, but its material was also like volcanic rock, as if it was made of cooled magma.
"Master, why do I feel that this giant platform is higher than the highest peak of Kunlun Mountain?"
Xia Yang and Xia Xue were struggling to move forward. After climbing for so long, the top of the platform was still so far away, so they couldn't help but ask.
Baili Changfeng: "Didn't I tell you about the folding of space? All the blessed places and ruins that appeared in the Central Continent look small from the outside, but they have a lot of secrets inside."
"This is the center of one of the four major formations of the Demon Prison. It is the place where the sacred Fusang tree grows. The sacred Fusang tree connects the human world and the underworld. Do you think this place is big?"
Hearing this, Xia Yang and Xia Xue looked at each other bitterly.
Before this, both of them thought that their cultivation level in the early stage of Jindan was already high enough for them, and they would be able to escape unscathed no matter where they trained. But now, they realized how ridiculous their previous thoughts were.
At this moment, a ray of bright red flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere and attacked Xia Xue, who had the lowest cultivation level.
When Baili Changfeng saw it, his expression changed drastically: "It's a strange fire, get out of the way."
The red flame was too fast and Xia Xue had no time to dodge it. Just when the red flame was about to touch her, Hua Changxi swung out the Floating Light Sword and blocked Xia Xue, and the red flame went straight into the sword.
As soon as the red flame sank into the Floating Light Sword, Hua Changxi felt as if a long drought had finally ended and now there was a downpour. This feeling did not come from her, but from the Floating Light Sword.
Strange fire is good for the Floating Light Sword!
"Thank you for your help, Senior. If I were hit by the strange fire, I would definitely become its fuel."
Seeing that Xia Xue was fine, Baili Changfeng quickly thanked Hua Changxi. At the same time, he looked at the Floating Light Sword in her hand. What grade of spiritual sword was this that could absorb strange fire?
"It's just a piece of cake. Fellow Daoist said before that there are a lot of strange fires here, so let me lead the way."
Since the strange fire is good for the floating light sword, Hua Changxi wants the floating light sword to absorb more. Hearing this, Baili Chengfeng felt relieved and thanked him again.
There are the most strange fires on this side of the stone steps. The purpose is to prevent people from breaking into the center of the formation. Moreover, the closer to the top of the giant platform, the more strange fires there will be, and the more powerful the strange fires will be. Although he is a cultivator in the late Jindan stage, he cannot protect his two disciples.
Afterwards, Hua Changxi led the way.
As they continued to climb upwards, the frequency of the strange fire appeared became higher and higher. Every time it appeared, any fire that attacked them would be stopped by Hua Changxi with the Floating Light Sword.
After the Floating Light Sword absorbed nine strands of red flames, Hua Changxi no longer felt the refreshing feeling of rain after a long drought. He knew that the red flames had no effect on the Floating Light Sword. When the red flames attacked again, he would simply use the sword to disperse them.
The red flames turned into sparks and sank into the volcanic rocks beneath their feet, quickly disappearing.
Xia Yang saw it and showed regret: "For cultivators with fire spiritual roots, strange fire is a rare treasure that can increase their strength. If my cultivation is strong enough, I can subdue the strange fire and I don't need to disperse it."
Baili Changfeng was also very regretful, because he couldn't subdue the strange fire with his current strength, so he said: "The Fusang sacred tree can breed strange fire, and after the strange fire is dispersed, it will be bred again."
They couldn't subdue the strange fire, but Hua Changxi could. After being reminded by Master Baili Changfeng and his disciple, she easily absorbed a wisp of red flame into her dantian.
Seeing this, Master Baili and his two disciples were extremely envious.
After that, the four of them climbed for another hour, and when the strange fire attacked them again, it was no longer a red flame, but an orange flame.
The temperature of the orange flame was obviously several times higher than that of the red flame. As soon as it appeared, Xia Yang and Xia Xue felt suffocated.
However, Hua Changxi felt the joy of the Floating Light Sword, and quickly swung it, striking directly at the strange fire.
When the orange flame sank into the Floating Light Sword, the Floating Light Sword once again felt the joy of a long-awaited rain.
In this way, Hua Changxi went up all the way, waving the Floating Light Sword. After absorbing enough red, orange and yellow colored strange fire, she and Baili Changfeng, her master and his disciple, finally stood on the top of the giant platform.
Before coming up, Hua Changxi thought that the top of the giant platform was a wide platform with an array formation arranged on it. But after coming up, he found that it was not the case at all. This was not a giant platform at all, but a crater.
"Daoyou, do we still need to go down?"
Baili Changfeng nodded: "Yes."
When you reach the top of the crater, the temperature has reached a terrifying level. The yellow strange fire that just appeared is so hot that it can burn Hua Changxi. If you go down, there will definitely be more powerful strange fire appearing.
Hua Changxi looked at Baili Changfeng: "Are you sure you want to go down? Can you bear it?"
Baili Changfeng: "We have to bear it even if we can't. We must stop those six demon people." As he said that, he took out four sky blue stones.
As soon as the sky blue stone was taken out, the temperature of the surrounding air dropped sharply.
"This is the Arctic Cold Marrow Jade. It can help us block the attack of the fire spirit energy in the center of the formation."
Polar Cold Marrow Jade is extremely rare. Baili Changfeng gave one piece to each of his two disciples, and then, with a painful heart, he handed a piece to Hua Changxi.
There was no other way. They needed this person to help them block the strange fire. Maybe when they reached the center of the formation, they would need her help to deal with the six demon people.
Although polar cold marrow jade is rare and precious, the stability of the center of the formation is more important.
The Floating Light Sword needs to absorb the strange fire. In addition, there is a general of the Demon Suppression Guard outside the stone terracotta warrior who wants to capture her. Although Hua Changxi knows that Baili Changfeng can use her, she still reaches out to take the Polar Cold Marrow Jade.
