Time passed by, and I don’t know how long it took, but the temperature in the cave gradually dropped.
The cave at this time can no longer be called a cave. This cave has already been melted by the power of the sky fire.
There is a huge hole above. Through this hole, you can directly see the dark clouds in the sky and the thunder in the sky.
“Is it finally going to work?”
Long Xuan, who was watching from a distance, murmured softly. His clenched fists finally relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Until now, his tense mood relaxed. The danger of swallowing the sky fire was a bit beyond his expectation.
The situation just now was simply dangerous. Even if the power of the sky fire was a little more powerful, his five clones would be burned to ashes, and he would also lose five clones at once.
Luckily, the danger was finally overcome by the clones, and the sky fire finally began to be refined little by little by the five clones.
The temperature in the cave has disappeared, and it seems that the sky fire has been successfully refined.
Seeing that the five clones had opened their tired eyes at the same time, Long Xuan took a deep breath and spread out his right hand. Suddenly a red flame rose in his palm, and the red light released by the flame reflected on his excited little face.
The clone will return all the results of cultivation to the main body. If the clone successfully swallows the sky fire, it means that the main body has successfully swallowed the sky fire and can use the power of the sky fire at any time.
All dangers are borne by the clone, and his main body can just sit back and enjoy the results. This kind of technique is simply a rogue.
“Is this the power of sky fire? It’s simply terrifying.”
“There are only thirty-six kinds of heavenly fire in the world, and it is extremely difficult to find. Devouring heavenly fire is the lifelong dream of all alchemists. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to obtain this treasure.”
The flames rising in Long Xuan's hands dissipated, and the smile on his face began to grow.
“Are you all okay?”
Long Xuan finally walked into the cave and asked with concern.
He used his soul power to explore the flame clone's body and found that his whole body was completely charred and black, with burns everywhere. His body was riddled with burns, and there was no intact place left.
Such an injury would probably have killed him long ago for ordinary people. His survival in the eyes of others is definitely a miracle.
"It's nothing serious!" The flame clone said weakly: "This kind of injury is fatal to others, but the water bear Gu has already completed its transformation. Under the immortal power of the third level water bear Gu, I have returned to full strength. It won’t last long.”
Hearing this, Long Xuan finally felt relieved.
He was also glad that when he went to Emperor Yan City, he gave Water Bear Gu a chance to transform. Otherwise, the result of swallowing the sky fire this time would be really hard to say.
The third level of "Purgatory True Demonic Art" is the body refining with heavenly fire. Now that he has the heavenly fire, he can finally practice the third level of the body refining method.
Just as he was thinking this, the Yan clone got up from the cold jade bed and sat on the ground on the other side. Red flames immediately rose on his body, and the flames burned every inch of his body, turning him into a man covered in blood. A man full of fire.
The flame clone is currently trying to use heavenly fire to refine the body, preparing to see the effect of using heavenly fire to refine the body.
Even if Long Xuan didn't move at this time, he felt that his physical strength was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Using the power of sky fire to refine his body, the effect was really terrifying.
Long Xuan showed excitement, clenched his fist hard, and felt his own strength. He sighed inwardly again, this kind of technique is simply a fool, who created it by some pervert.
The other clones were also sitting cross-legged on the ground at this time, their bodies covered with red flames, and began to try to refine their bodies with heavenly fire.
Long Xuan suddenly felt that his physical strength was improving faster, five times faster than before. His training speed was like riding a rocket, which made him couldn't help but grin.
Without destruction, he found that although the major clones had been severely damaged, they had also touched the bottleneck of the middle stage of the spiritual sea.
They are not far away from breaking through the middle stage of the spiritual sea. Maybe they can break through next time they open their eyes.
And their breakthrough is equivalent to his Dragon Xuan breakthrough. He can suddenly reach the middle stage of the spiritual sea without doing anything. It is simply refreshing.
And it has only been a long time since he broke through the spiritual sea stage Gu cultivation, not even a few years. Compared with other spiritual sea stage Gu cultivators, his cultivation speed is extremely fast. Perhaps his improvement in qualifications also played a certain role.
Long Xuan stopped disturbing the group of clones and slowly left the cave.
He took out the map and prepared to think about his next plan.
At present, the disaster poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poison and the disaster poison poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poison and the dragon poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poison and the dragon poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisonous poisons have transformed and the dragon voodoo has successfully transformed. At this time, he does not have many voodoo insects that have not yet transformed.
Thinking for a moment, he prepared to upgrade the sword Gu next.
On the map, he is currently in the Sinful Land. To the west of the Sinful Land is the Huiyue Empire, to the south is the Longteng Empire, and to the north is the Yanting Empire.
The Land of Sin is located at the junction of these three empires and belongs to the three-no-no zone.
To the north of the Yanting Empire is the Tianfeng Empire. The Tianfeng Empire has a large area and borders many empires. In the southeast, it also borders a large area with the Longteng Empire, which has always been a feud.
The alchemy competition that caused a sensation throughout the Western Region was held in the Imperial City of the Tianfeng Empire. It was a place he must go to.
As for him, in the Sinful Land of Thunder Marsh, if he walked straight to the Imperial City of Tianfeng Empire, he would have to traverse the entire Yanting Empire.
Mentioning the Yanting Empire, Long Xuan thought of a powerful sect called Xijian Pavilion in the Yanting Empire.
Other professionals are not absent in the Gu world, but their number is extremely rare. The Xijian Pavilion is a powerful sect with all swordsmen cultivators.
In the Yanting Empire, many people who are not talented in cultivating Gu will go to Xijian Pavilion to repair their swords.
Swordsmanship is very poor in other places, but in the Yanting Empire, it can be called one of the holy places of swordsmanship in the Gu world.
Xijian Pavilion is definitely an extremely powerful sect in the Yanting Empire, ranking among the top five sects in the entire empire.
Presumably for such a large sword cultivation sect, there must be someone who can understand the meaning of the sword, so Long Xuan now had the idea of upgrading the sword Gu in Xijian Pavilion.
Since he was going to the Tianfeng Empire to participate in the alchemy competition, he also had to cross the Yanting Empire. Since he passed by the Sword Washing Pavilion, he might as well upgrade his sword Gu here.
He decided to wait for the five clones to recover from their injuries and break through the middle stage of the spiritual sea, and then immediately set off in the direction of Xijian Pavilion.
…
Yanting Empire, on a barren mountain.
It is already late at night...
The little medicine boy dragged his tired body here. There were a pair of big dark circles in his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest for a long time.
“That mysterious voice is here.”
The little medicine boy looked at the abandoned temple in front of him and frowned deeply.
As the saying goes, it is better to sleep in a cemetery than in a temple.
Don’t think that this is a sacred place for Buddhism and that ghosts and evil spirits can avoid it.
On the contrary, once you encounter a long-abandoned temple in the wilderness, it will be a very dangerous place. Those who stay overnight in abandoned temples often encounter great dangers.
This temple was built in such a ungrateful place. There is no shop in front of it or a village in the back. No strangers will come here at all. The appearance of a temple here is a very abnormal thing.
Maybe there is a demon imprisoned under this temple, or a very scary ghost is hidden under this temple. In short, nothing good will happen here.
It was already late at night, the wind was very strong, and the roar of the wind could be heard in the ears. Under the strong wind, a strange and harsh sound came from the temple, which invisibly heightened the atmosphere of terror.
Seeing that the sky was covered with dark clouds, blocking the moonlight, as if a heavy downpour was going to fall at any time, he decided to hide in this temple to take shelter from the rain.
He knew that this temple was likely to have unknown dangers, but he was eager to know what the sound was that kept reaching his ears.
Ever since he walked to Xitu, the sound of someone talking has been ringing in his ears, and the sound is intermittent, making it difficult for him to hear what it is.
But the voice seemed to be calling him to go somewhere.
The noise was so noisy that he couldn't sleep well at all. He felt that if he didn't deal with the noise, he would go crazy one day.
So he ignored Li Laodao's persuasion and insisted on coming here.
Now he was vaguely aware that the sound came from this temple. Even though he knew that this temple hid great dangers, he still decided to go in and find out.
It is better to die than to be tortured to death by the sound that keeps ringing.
The little medicine boy gritted his teeth, finally mustered up the courage, and walked into the temple.
Pushing the door open, the temple was very dark and he couldn't see his fingers. He took out the wall lamp dug out from the cave in the far west from his storage bag, and carefully walked towards the depths of the temple through the faint light.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but as soon as he walked in the door with his front feet, heavy rain poured down on his back feet, and the wind closed the door behind him, as if to trap him in this place and force him to stay here for the night.
The little medicine boy took a deep breath, turned around, and looked around the temple. He found that the place had been abandoned for a long time. The ground and the incense table were full of dust, and the beams in the corners were covered with spider webs.
There has been no trace of human activity here for a long time, and the air is filled with a musty smell.
He frowned deeply. For some reason, the voice in his ears clearly came from here, and the voice had been tempting him to enter this temple.
However, when he really came here, the voice disappeared strangely.
“Who are you? What did you ask me to do here?”
"say something?"
The little medicine boy had the courage to shout, but no one responded for a long time, and the noisy voice that made him upset never appeared.
“If you don’t say anything, I’ll leave!”
The little medicine boy called out again, but when there was still no response, he made a gesture and walked outside.
However, as soon as he opened the door, a strong wind rushed into the house, and even the rain swept in along with the wind. A bolt of thunder and lightning fell at this time, making his face white as snow.
The little medicine boy quickly closed the door.
“Forget it, let’s spend the night here before leaving.”
The little medicine boy seemed to be talking to himself.
In fact, he had no real intention to leave. He knew very well that as soon as he left, the noisy sound that kept him awake would definitely sound again.
He traveled across mountains and rivers and spent countless years to get here. How could he be willing to not completely solve this voice?
After closing the door, he began to clean the dust here. He once again showed his previous style. He would not steal anything, and he would move everything, even if it was rags, into the storage bag.
So the incense burners, wooden fish, big Buddha statues, murals on the walls, including the dilapidated tables and futons in this temple were all dusted and put into storage bags.
After he had plundered everything he could see in the entire temple, he did not stop and started digging three feet into the ground, trying to find treasures hidden deeper.
He knocked left and right on the walls and the floor, as if looking for a secret room or hidden compartment here.
Finally, his hard work paid off, and he made a hollow sound on the ground somewhere. His eyes immediately lit up, showing a look of joy.
He couldn’t wait to take out a small hammer from his storage bag. After smashing the floor tiles, he quickly took out a golden Buddha statue inside.
The golden Buddha statue is lifelike, as if it is alive. The whole body exudes golden light, which is so bright that it is not ordinary at first glance.
The little medicine boy was overjoyed. Even though he had been studying for a long time but could not see the effect of this thing, he still put the golden Buddha statue away and prepared to study it later.
After the harvest, the little medicine boy inspected the floor tiles more carefully. Not long after, he made a hollow sound again.
His eyes lit up and he took out the hammer again. Not long after, he took out the same Buddha statue again.
Time passed by and he was busy for a long time. After searching every inch of the temple, he finally found sixteen golden Buddha statues again.
At this time, he had a total of eighteen golden Buddha statues in his hand. These eighteen Buddha statues seemed to be a set. Each golden Buddha statue was hidden in a very hidden position, and he did not miss any of them.
After digging out eighteen golden Buddha statues, the little medicine boy was also a little out of breath and sat on the ground, ready to take a rest.
He smiled slightly. Just when he was about to take out the eighteen Buddha statues and study their functions, the voice that had been making him uneasy sounded again.
“It’s really you! I knew you would definitely touch the Buddha statues here. No matter how hidden these Buddha statues are, you will dig deep enough to find them.”
As soon as this voice sounded, the little medicine boy was startled. He stood up quickly and shouted in panic: "Who? Who is talking?"
At this moment, his heart sank. This person seemed to know himself very well, and could even predict his own behavior, knowing that he would definitely touch the Buddha statue here.
Wait a minute, he didn’t speak on purpose just now. Could it be that he wanted to touch the Buddha statue here?
Could it be that the eighteen golden Buddha statues buried deep in the depths cannot be moved? A bad premonition arose in his heart.
“You didn’t say anything just now because you wanted me to touch the Buddha statue here?” The little medicine boy’s expression changed and he asked quickly.
The mysterious voice sounded again: "That's right! I know your character very well, because I am you and you are me. How could I not understand myself?"
"You are my most kind side. Only the most kind people can touch the eighteen golden Buddhas that sealed me. Only those who have no evil thoughts are called the most kind people. There are very few people in this world who can touch the eighteen golden Buddhas."
"If I ask you to dig up the eighteen golden Buddhas, I know you. You will definitely not do what I say. Instead, you will find ways to strengthen the seal."
"If I don't say anything, you will definitely take away all the treasures here. No matter how deeply the eighteen golden Buddhas are hidden, you will definitely find them!"
Hearing this, the little drug boy's heart suddenly sank. He understood that he might have inadvertently released a very terrifying existence.
Anything that is sealed must be an extremely terrifying existence, and it must be a disaster for someone else. Otherwise, how could it be sealed? Once this demon is released, it is likely to cause harm to the world.
His face turned pale. There was really a demon sealed in this temple. If he accidentally released this demon, the consequences would be disastrous. (End of chapter)
