Chapter 194: The Trial of the Fire Source
The Tianheng Empire has spent a long time in fear and turmoil, the war launched by the Danyang Empire has led to the sharp decline of the Tianheng Empire, the people are not living, and the great earthquake caused by the birth of the blood god has caused a devastating disaster throughout the country, and now the fear caused by the spread of blood demons is still spreading, for this devastated empire, they are very much in need of a stable environment to recuperate.
The spirit masters from **** are now gathered around the Tianxuan Mountain Range, they are all here to help the Tianheng Empire hunt the blood demon, with their help, the trace of the blood demon is gradually disappearing, their actions have achieved good results, in the past few months, there have been a lot fewer blood demons who have come out to make trouble.
Willow Town, as a relatively abundant area of spiritual energy near the Tianxuan Mountain Range, is also a high-incidence area of blood demons, and many disciples from the Tianhua Sect are active in this area, and remarkable results have been achieved during this period.
Although the traces of the earthquake are still shocking, the people here have long since rebuilt their homes, and the people have begun to recuperate, working at sunrise and sunset, and the Tianheng Empire has also been reborn after the disaster.
For the villagers of Willow Town, the many spirit masters of the Tianhua Sect are simply protective gods, and with their help, they are no longer afraid of the turmoil of the blood demon. Originally, the disciples of the Moon Worship Sect were still spreading the teachings of the Moon Worship Sect here, spreading their gods, and making them believe in the god of the starry sky, but they also found that when the disaster came, the god of the starry sky they believed in did not save them at all, and over time they would never believe in their gods again.
On a street in Willow Town, Shi Xuan and Huang Shuhan walked slowly along the street, Huang Shuhan's body has been very weak since he woke up, and Shi Xuan rarely goes out to hunt blood demons these days, he almost puts all his thoughts on her.
Huang Shuhan's master also left again after her health improved, and she still had to continue to search for the lost artifact of the Ice Phoenix Clan, and she handed Huang Shuhan over to Shi Xuan and them to take care of again.
"How are you feeling these two days?" Shi Xuan looked at Huang Shuhan, who was still a little pale in bright color.
"I feel much better, in fact, do you know? The moment I was attacked by the master of the Lyrians, I felt that I was dead, and his dragon breath was frantically destroying my meridians in my meridians, but at the most critical moment, I felt your breath, and it was your faith that supported me to get through," Huang Shuhan said.
"The moment I saw you being burned by the dragon's breath, I was about to go crazy, and I didn't expect that as a strong man of the dragon clan, he would actually attack you regardless of his identity", Shi Xuan recalled the scene at that time, which is still shocking to this day.
"If you know about the feud between the dragon clan and our phoenix clan that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, you won't be surprised, this is the fate of our two clans, right?" Huang Shuhan said.
"Then have you ever thought that there might be other ways to resolve grievances?" Shi Xuan asked.
"It's too difficult, the dragon clan and the phoenix clan are different from your human race, we are all the top forces on the continent in the past, and the glory of history can also be said to be a heavy burden for each of our clansmen, for the glory of the past, ask the clansmen of the two clans for thousands of years to fight for it like moths to the fire, such cause and effect have been planted tens of thousands of years ago, we have no choice, this may be fate, right?"
"Although I don't know how much background your Ice Phoenix Clan has, but at this moment, the strength shown by the Dragon Clan is obvious to all, and even the Blood God has died in their hands, is it worth continuing to fight like this?" Shi Xuan asked.
"From the moment I was born, my people instilled in me the idea of revenge against the dragons, and I have done so for many years, and the moment our winter curse envelops everyone, our fate is already sealed, either we break the curse and be reborn, or we will turn to dust in the cold winter?" said Huang Shuhan.
"Fate, who can tell? Sometimes I also feel the injustice of fate, I still can't even know my true background, I can't even know their names, I was born with a sea of blood and hatred, and I haven't even known who the enemy is, but I think about it carefully, maybe fate is also fair, without all this cause and effect, how could I meet my adoptive parents and so many people who care about and support me?" Shi Xuan sighed that fate was impermanent.
"It seems that the two of us are really in the same disease, both of us are playing tricks and entanglements with fate, but being able to meet you at this time, I don't feel that anything matters?" Huang Shuhan's pale face flushed slightly.
"You are really beautiful when you smile", Shi Xuan looked at the beauty beside him blankly, fascinated.
The two looked at each other and smiled, after the tribulation, they saw the truth more, after the near death, they cherished the time together, the two walked aimlessly on the fields of Willow Town, the villagers were busy in the wilderness, the harvest of the year was all in it, such a field life is indeed quiet and comfortable.
"If this kind of life can go on forever, I am willing to give up my cultivation, just like these farmers, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, carefree and quiet," Shi Xuan said.
"Sometimes I am also very envious of such days, when I was still young, I followed my master everywhere in the world of the human race, and when I was tired, I wanted to live a peaceful life like this," Huang Shuhan said.
"The days when you are by my side are the happiest and most relaxing time I have in years, and I will always accompany you no matter how difficult the road ahead is," Shi Xuan said. Huang Shuhan nodded, it was indeed much easier for her to be able to temporarily let go of the burden of the family, and she was indeed tired of running around all these years.
The Blood Demon Scourge of the Tianheng Empire cannot be completely wiped out in a day or two, and now that the Blood Demon is spreading everywhere, it will take them a long time to complete this task, but as their actions unfold, the villagers who are disturbed by the Blood Demon are becoming fewer and fewer.
Shi Xuan and the others had been stationed in Willow Town for more than three months, and during this time, their tasks were much easier, and they were able to spend a lot of time cultivating every day.
The disciples of the Tianhua Sect in Willow Town have taken root here, and this has become their base camp for cleaning up the blood demons, during this time, Dongyu from the Endless Sea can be regarded as completely integrated into their group, and her innocent character has also won the love of many disciples, the only headache is that she seems to have a special dependence on Jiang Yuheng, and she has simply become a small follower by Jiang Yuheng's side, which is beyond everyone's expectations, including Jiang Yuheng.
Dai Mengli has recently changed her previous image, and she is about to become a vinegar jar every day, and she wants to guard against this little girl at any time Jiang Yuheng was confused, but fortunately, Jiang Yuheng has been mediating in it, so she didn't break out completely.
And since Jiang Yuheng mastered the elemental realm, his cultivation can be said to be unbeatable, and many disciples of Tianhua Sect are beyond their reach, he finally showed his unparalleled cultivation talent again, and everyone knows that the senior brother back then is back.
Shi Xuan and Huang Shuhan, as the ultimate affinity of the elements, they also have a strong desire for the elemental realm, after Jiang Yuheng comprehended the elemental realm, he also gave Shi Xuan and Huang Shuhan a huge inspiration, they have observed the elemental realm of Jiang Yuheng many times, and now they have also gained a lot.
Cultivation of the way, understanding is a very important link, the higher the cultivation of the more problems encountered, the realization is very important, thousands of years before the heaven and earth spiritual energy depleted, rarely born strong, it can be said that the path of the spirit master has been broken for thousands of years, many precious spiritual understanding have been lost in history.
The road is broken, someone needs to reopen it, and a talented disciple like Jiang Yuheng is a forerunner, and they will also open a new path for the cultivation of disciples in the future, and the elemental realm he has mastered at this moment is the best gift to other disciples, and by observing the elemental realm he has mastered, others can learn a lot from it.
Shi Xuanhuang Shuhan They were all one of the few talented people in this world, and his elemental realm had indeed given them a huge revelation.
Huang Shuhan can be said to be the closest to Jiang Yuheng's strength among these people, the strength of the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, with the super bloodline talent, the terrifying extreme ice master, her control of the elements has already reached an extremely high level, and she is also infinitely close to the realm of the elements, this time she has also groped the edge of the elemental realm through Jiang Yuheng's demonstration, and it is only a little short of a complete breakthrough.
Shi Xuan's strength has improved a lot now, and when he reaches the peak of the Heavenly Vein Realm, his control and exhaustion of the elements have also reached the point where others are beyond reach, not to mention that he is also the ultimate controller of the dual elements, once he successfully enters the Elemental Realm, his realm will be more terrifying than anyone else's, the Dual Element Realm is unheard of and unseen, which also means that he has more room for improvement.
But for Shi Xuan at present, the Elemental Realm was always one step away from him, and he clearly felt that the reason that prevented him from going any further was that his strength had not yet stepped into the Spirit Realm.
Dong Yu's talent is not lagging behind, from the elemental battle between her and Jiang Yuheng, it is not difficult to see that she is also infinitely close to the realm of the water element, for many years she has lived in the region with the richest water element, and her understanding of the water element is also unmatched, even Zhong Ling and Dai Mengli, the two water spirit masters, cannot compare with her, this is the reason for the talent, her extreme water also has amazing potential.
Zhong Ling and Dai Mengli wanted to rely on the control and domain of the elements, it was almost impossible to defeat her, and in her domain, the spirit masters of the same line would be completely suppressed by her.
Therefore, whether or not they could master the elemental realm as soon as possible had become the most urgent wish of many of their disciples now.
After a few months of cultivation, Huang Shuhan's lost true yuan has finally been fully restored, the phoenix clan's bloodline self-healing ability has indeed made many people out of reach, with the recovery of the true yuan, she can finally fully carry out further cultivation, she wants to break through her elemental realm in the shortest possible time.
At this time, she thought of a place, maybe it would be suitable for her to complete the last step, Snow God Mountain, the extreme north of the continent, the owner of the coldest glacier in the world, there is also the holy land of the Ice Phoenix Clan, that is the coldest place in the world.
She followed her master out of the Snow God Mountain since she was a child, and she hadn't returned to the family for many years, this time she was going to go back, first, to break through the elemental realm, and second, to meet her people, she had been away for too long.
Shi Xuan looked at Huang Shuhan with some astonishment: "You, are you going to leave now?" Huang Shuhan explained the reason to him, she was going to return to the family for the time being, and then turn back again after the breakthrough.
"I've been away from Snow God Mountain for too long, and it's time to go back again. This time I am ready to break through the elemental realm and completely awaken my power, now that the dragon clan has reappeared on the continent, the confrontation between the two clans will be more frequent in the future, and I should also be ready", Huang Shuhan said.
"The land of the extreme north is extremely far away, is it dangerous for you to go back alone?" Shi Xuan said worriedly.
"Don't worry, it's my family's territory, except for the dragon clan, no other race dares to spread wild there, not to mention that I'm not a weak person, as long as I am not a grandmaster on this continent, it is not easy to hurt me, the rush of the Phoenix clan is not a decoration", Huang Shuhan said.
"Okay, if you complete the breakthrough, you must go back to the south to find me, even if you can't find it, you just need to go to Tianhua Sect to ask for my news, and they will tell you", although Shi Xuan was reluctant, he also understood that she also had a lot of things to face.
"You also have to take care, the Moon Worship Sect is rampant now, you also have to protect yourself, I will rush back as soon as possible after I complete the breakthrough", Huang Shuhan said.
Huang Shuhan has been recognized by countless disciples of the Tianhua Sect since she followed Shi Xuan and them for a while, although she is not a human race, but she has won their friendship with her actions.
On the top of the back mountain, Shi Xuan personally sent away Huang Shuhan who went north, since the two showed their hearts, the feelings between each other have also warmed up a lot, the parting at this moment makes both of them quite sentimental, but sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, under Shi Xuan's attention, Huang Shuhan turned into a huge ice phoenix, soaring, flapping its wings thousands of miles away, leaving a trace of chill in the air.
Looking at the beauty in the distance, Shi Xuan recalled the relationship between the two over the years, and it was unforgettable for a while, Shi Xuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the figure in the distance, until even the faint cold in the air disappeared, he came back to his senses.
At this time, a spirit rune on his chest suddenly emitted a blazing spiritual light, and he was about to forget this spirit rune all these years, wasn't it the one given to him by the Terran Sage who guarded the fire spirit realm back then?
Shi Xuan took out the spirit rune and felt the breath above, his thoughts were also pulled back to the present world, and the things he encountered in the cave back then returned to his mind again.
Back then, the Sage said that he would take the initiative to contact him in the future and let him complete the trial, but now that it was time to fulfill his promise, his current strength at the peak of the Heavenly Vein Realm could be regarded as being able to enter the hall.
With a grip of his right hand, a blazing flame scorched the spirit rune, and soon on the top of the mountain in front of him, the space rippled, and an ancient figure appeared in mid-air, and the powerful sage aura was released, Shi Xuan could not bear it, and the sage in front of him was the sage in the cave back then.
"Senior, we meet again," Shi Xuan said respectfully in return.
"After many years of absence, it seems that you have not disappointed me, you have suppressed the power of the Nightmare King, and now it is time for you to fulfill your promises", said the Sage's projection.
"Senior, please command, but if I can do it, even if it is death, I will definitely do it?" Shi Xuan said.
"There has been turmoil in the realm of fire spirits, as the old man said back then, within one or twenty years, the fire element army will inevitably reign in the world again, the old man must find a way to seal them again during this time, with your potential old man believes that after one or twenty years of hard work, you are fully qualified for this burden, as long as you can complete the trial that the old man gave you, the old man also promised to prepare a greater opportunity for you to help you grow", the sage said.
"Listen to the seniors' orders?" Shi Xuan said.
"There are many spiritual materials for sealing the Fire Spirit Realm, and now I need you to find a way to find the Flame Core, the Wind Spirit Pattern, the Pure Water, the Eternal Blue Gold, the Life Essence, the Heart of the Earth, and the Spirit of the Xuan Thunder, these seven bell elemental spiritual materials are the most important for sealing the Fire Spirit Realm," the Sage said.
"I don't seem to have come into contact with these seven spiritual materials in my predecessors, I don't know if there is any guidance?" Shi Xuan's face was clouded, he had heard a lot of spiritual materials over the years, but he had never heard of these spiritual materials.
"These seven spiritual materials are the top existence in the world, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, I said that each of the seven spiritual materials is only born at a specific time and in a specific place, otherwise it will be in vain for you to search all over the continent," the Sage explained.
"Then would you like to ask the seniors for some advice?" Shi Xuan said.
"I have already felt the breath of the Flame Core, it was born in a place where the flames are strong, only the Red Rock Ridge and the Vulcan Mountain can be born in the whole world, I need you to go now, find out the whereabouts of the Flame Core, and bring it to me", the Sage said.
"What are the characteristics of the Flame Core?" Shi Xuan asked.
"The core of the flame is the extremely hot thing in the world, and only the hottest place can be born one or two, which is very cherished. Once you find the right place, you don't need me to tell you, you can feel its heat, and in the vast mountains of the Red Rock Ridge, there must be its presence, you must find it and fetch it," said the Sage.
"What about the other six spiritual materials?" Shi Xuan asked.
"The other spiritual materials have not yet been born, and I will tell you when the time comes, now you need to find the core of the flame as soon as possible", said the Sage.
"Shi Xuan understands, I will definitely go to the Fire Domain to find the core of the flame as soon as possible", Shi Xuan promised.
After the Sage received his promise, his projection vanished into the mountains, and his rune returned to calm.
"That's right, Hongyan Ridge, I should go back again......" Shi Xuan quickly turned back to Willow Town.
For this operation, Shi Xuan needed to complete it alone, and he was not prepared to let others help.
Shi Xuan found Jiang Yuheng and told them about his return to Hongyan Ridge.
"You're leaving now?" Jiang Yuheng asked.
"This time I have something that I have to do personally, and I will turn back as soon as possible," Shi Xuan said.
"Shi Xuan, you and my brother have been doing so many years, what difficulties can I help you?" Zhao Zhuo said.
"This matter is different from the past, I need to complete it alone, you guys are here to cooperate with Senior Brother Jiang to complete the task, right?" Shi Xuan said.
"You are alone, you must not be reckless, I don't want to lose your brother?" Zhao Zhuo said.
"Don't worry, I haven't lived enough, no one wants to take me away, I know how to do it", Shi Xuan said goodbye to them one by one, this mission is related to the safety of the Fire Spirit Realm, he must handle it carefully.
Shi Xuan has never been a procrastinator, if he has a goal, he will do it immediately, and now that the situation in the Tianheng Empire has eased, even if there is no big problem without him, he can go with confidence.
With Shi Xuan's current cultivation, he no longer has to spend a lot of time like when he first walked out of Hongyan Ridge, nor does he have to rely on being a mercenary to earn travel expenses, riding a horse across countries, as a spirit master, he can control the spirit weapon to fly, and the speed will be much faster.
But the road was far away, he chose to ride his Purple Winged Wild Lion, and now after so many years, the Purple Winged Wild Lion has also evolved to the fifth order, growing Amethyst Wings, and Shi Xuan can also ride him across the countries.
Shi Xuan rode the purple-winged lion all the way to the south, crossing the mountains, flying over the lakes, enjoying the great scenery of the continent all the way, and passing through countless mountains and rivers and lakes along the way.
The huge purple-winged mad lion also attracted the attention of countless people along the way, many ordinary people had never seen such a huge purple-winged mad lion in their lives, and many children were even scared to cry by his purple-winged mad lion, and there were also some spirit masters along the way who saw Shi Xuan riding the purple winged mad lion south, they were envious to the extreme, for many low-level spirit masters, it was indeed a very happy thing to be able to fly.
Shi Xuan's flight in the air also provoked many fierce birds, they attacked Shi Xuan many times, but after the strong man made his move, some fierce birds became his meal, and when he was tired from the journey, he would roast them and eat them.
When Shi Xuan hurried for a few days in a row, he flew over the Tianheng Empire and came to the Tianyang Empire, where he had carried out many missions, and the traces of the war were still vivid on the Thorn Ridge here.
Back then, Shi Xuan and the army of the Tianyang Empire joined forces to launch a siege of the Danyang Empire here, and countless enemy troops were wiped out here.
The residents on the front line of the Tianyang Empire's war suffered countless casualties, and Shi Xuan flew over a large area of the city to find that the population was thin, and more than seventy percent of the people of the Tianyang Empire died tragically in this war.
