Chapter 129: Enter the pavilion

Garret then took Alu to fly. And Clara followed behind them.

Until now, that woman continued to show a calm expression.

"Are you from a lower realm, senior?" Alu then asked.

He spoke in such an innocent tone that he seemed like a naive youth.

"Mm." Garret nodded.

"Sister Clara brought me to this place." He said while glancing behind him.

"You two seem very close."

"Ehmmm." Garret cleared his throat.

Because Alu saw using the sense of his soul, he could look back without having to look away. And he saw Clara's ever-calm expression change a little. Her eyes seemed to blink a few times.

"By the way, is there a problem with your eye?" Garret then asked.

He was clearly changing the subject.

"Mm." Alu nodded.

"How about letting sister Clara examine your eyes. She is an expert in medicine. She might be able to help you."

"Oh." Alu was surprised.

He turned his face back, and found Clara looking into his eyes.

But unlike Old Egan, Clara didn't investigate right away. She seemed to be waiting for his approval.

But Alu just shook his head. "Thank you."

"But it's not because my eyes are troubled. It's the effect of my cultivation technique. When I get stronger, it will heal itself." He explained.

"Oh!" Garret and Clara were stunned when they heard Alu's explanation.

In order for a cultivation technique to render a Nirvana stage cultivator unable to see, anyone would know that it was an extraordinary cultivation technique.

But they didn't ask again after knowing that.

....

A few moments later, they arrived at a valley.

Alu was a little surprised to find a valley in that place. And in that valley, he saw that there were quite a number of young disciples gathered.

It's just that, the plain of the valley is not filled with grass like valleys in general. The valley is actually filled with puddles of lava.

Alu saw the young disciples in the valley soaking their bodies in the lava.

Looking at that puddle of lava, he could feel the power of fire essence from it.

"This lava looks like it can help improve people's comprehension of the law of fire." He said to himself.

Fortunately the valley and the surroundings were not very wide, so Alu could still see the whole place.

He saw a rocky hill between the mountains surrounding the valley, and the lava puddle in the valley actually originated from that rocky hill.

But what caught his eye the most was the rocky hilltop. There, he saw a stone pavilion that was enveloped in flames.

"There is an entrance into the mountain in the pavilion." Garret said.

"The pavilion is called the pavilion of the holy sons because it is a place for every chosen holy son to practice."

"Practicing in that pavilion has a hundred times better benefits than outside."

"Of course, the reason why every holy son practices in that pavilion is to get used to the fire in that place."

"In order to take fire essence, one must enter into the mountain. But the flames within the mountain are truly extremely hot. Even fire-type cultivators like us can't endure it."

"Oh!"

"Yeah." Garret scratched his head. "Actually I don't know much either."

He then turned his gaze towards Clara. "You can ask sister Clara for details."

"Sister Clara was actually a holy son before. Of course, because she is a woman, it is called a holy Daughter."

"Is it true?" Alu then looked at Clara with a surprised expression.

"Mm." Clara nodded lightly.

"But I also failed. I couldn't even reach the place where the essence of fire was." She said with an embarrassed smile.

"What exactly is the essence of this fire?" Alu wondered inwardly. Now he was increasingly curious about the essence of fire that even a figure like Old Egan could not obtain.

"Let's enter the pavilion first." Garret spoke.

He then led Alu towards the hill.

As they got closer to the hill, he found an almost invisible energy barrier covering the entire hill.

If he was not near the hill, he would not have noticed the energy barrier.

It is clear that the energy barrier is a product of a powerhouse above the Nirvana stage.

...

As senior disciples with peak Nirvana cultivation, Garret and Clara were obviously very popular in the fire temple.

In fact, ever since they arrived at the valley, the young disciples who were cultivating in that valley immediately stopped their cultivation, and they stared at them.

"Who is that young man?" They wondered.

The existence of Alu naturally caught their attention.

They wouldn't talk if only Garret and Clara had come.

The two of them were actually the guards of the place, so it wouldn't be weird if they came every once in a while.

But now, they came with an unknown young man.

"And what did they do?" They started to get more and more curious when they saw Garret bringing Alu into the rocky hill area.

The rocky hill area is the core area of the fire temple. Without any apparent interest, even senior disciples like Darold were not allowed to enter.

As for junior disciples like them, they weren't even allowed to get too close to the rocky hill.

Among the junior disciples, only holy sons were allowed to enter the rocky hill area.

"Is it possible?" People held their breath as they started thinking about the holy son.

They wanted to refute their own thoughts, but they saw Garret actually led Alu towards the pavilion on the hill.

By now they had even arrived at the door of the pavilion.

...

Ever since passing through the energy barrier, Alu could feel the extreme heat gnawing at his body. It even caused his body to give off a hint of smoke.

He couldn't help but be taken aback. As a Phoenix, this was the first time he had felt uncomfortable in the presence of fire.

At this time, he even had to use spiritual energy to protect the skin of his body.

However, even though the place was extremely hot, he could feel enormous fire spiritual energy in that place.

Even when he was not cultivating, the spiritual energy in that place naturally entered his body, and it directly increased his cultivation.

Besides, he found that there was actually only a single law in that place, namely the law of fire. Other laws simply do not exist in that place.

"Because there is no other law in this place besides the law of fire. Comprehending the law of fire in this place is hundreds of times easier than anywhere else. Within the mountain, the effect is thousands of times better." Garret said.

As they arrived at the pavilion doors, Clara stepped forward.

There was a keyhole in the pavilion door, and Clara inserted a key into it.

Creaky...

After Clara turned the lock, the pavilion door immediately opened little by little.

"From now on, this place will be your place." Clara said while looking at Alu.

"If you also fail to obtain fire essence after you reach the seventh layer of Nirvana, you must leave this place and wait for the next holy son to take over."

Clara pulled back the key in the keyhole and handed it to Alu.

"Mm." Alu nodded lightly. He took the key from Clara's hand before staring at the space within the pavilion.

The space within the pavilion was actually not dark even though the entire pavilion appeared to be closed off. Inside was actually full of blazing flames.

The flames inside the pavilion were much hotter than the flames outside.

The moment the pavilion door opened, extreme heat immediately burst forth from within the pavilion.

Not to mention that Alu, who was right at the door of the pavilion, even the young disciples in the distance could feel the heat.

The heat in the place they were in instantly became a thousand times hotter.

Of course, seeing the pavilion doors open, they no longer cared about the increased heat. Their focus was currently on Alu who was standing in front of the pavilion door.

When they saw Clara hand over the pavilion key to Alu, they were no longer speculating.

Some of them even got up and left the place. It was clear that they wanted to spread what they had just seen.

"All right, you can go in now and have a look at this place."

"We will go now. Later there will be a senior disciple who will send the holy son's identity token to you." Garret said.

"Thank you, senior brother, senior sister." Alu then saluted Garret and Clara.

"Mm." Both of them nodded. Even the quiet Clara smiled slightly when she saw Alu's attitude.

The two of them then left the place.

After they disappeared from his sight, Alu then stepped into the pavilion.

Right after he entered the pavilion, the pavilion door behind him immediately closed by itself.

.

"Sigh." Alu sighed right after he entered the pavilion.

Acting innocent all the time really made him uncomfortable.
