Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Man Who Played with Fire
So, this warrior risked his life, climbed over the hot volcano, crossed the weak water river, climbed to the top of Kunlun, killed the demon beast guarding the immortal passage, sneaked into the fairy world to steal the fire, and brought it to the world.
The Terrans used fire to light up the night, drive away ghosts, and even comprehended the method of cultivation from the flames, gaining extraordinary powers.
However, the gods of the upper realm also soon discovered that this warrior had stolen the fire.
Immediately He sent down a thunderbolt and slew the warrior.
At the same time, he also cut off the passage between the fairy world and the mortal world, and since then no mortal has been able to "smuggle" into the fairy world.
But the Terrans remembered the kindness of this warrior.
They enshrined him on the altar and called him the "god of fire".
To tell the truth, when Gu Xu first saw this mythical story in the book, he only felt that it was very outrageous-that immortal clearly had the powerful strength to directly kill the warrior with thunder, so why would he let the warrior sneak into the immortal passage to take away the fire?
Of course, there is no need to consider rationality for such a thing as "mythology".
Gu Xu quickly noticed the biggest difference between these two mythological systems-
In the official mythological system of the Great Qi, the gods led by "Shangcang" are the benefactors of the human race;
But in the legend of the "God of Fire", the gods of the upper realm play the role of villains.
In addition, because in the legend of the "Fire God", the ancestors of the human race were all degraded immortals, so there used to be a powerful immortal bloodline in their bodies, but they were sealed after violating the rules of heaven.
However, there are some talented people who can awaken their former bloodlines even after being relegated to the world.
Gu Xu once likened it to the "atavistic phenomenon".
The "Holy Fire Totem" of the Zhao clan in Youzhou can help them further activate their bloodlines and master the power hidden deep in their bodies.
Zhao Yan is a lucky person who has successfully "returned to her ancestors".
Known as the "Flame Spirit Body" within the clan, she is naturally close to flames and is not afraid of high temperatures.
With the Flame Totem, she can even manipulate nearby flames to her own use, while also enhancing the power of her marksmanship with the help of flames.
Today, she came to this cave to cultivate, just to take advantage of the blazing environment in the lava field and river to further strengthen her "Holy Fire Totem".
However, in the process of cultivating, she faintly sensed that the magma beneath her body seemed to be converging in another direction.
Even if Zhao Yan drove the "Holy Fire Totem" and tried to gather the flames of the Earth River to her side, these flames still seemed to be under a strong gravitational force, roaring, rolling, and rushing away from her.
Zhao Yanmo's eyebrows frowned slightly.
As a descendant of the Zhao family in Youzhou, Zhao Yan has more knowledge than ordinary people and has learned a lot of secrets in the past.
She naturally knew that this was the remnants of the sect of the "Longevity Sect", and she also knew that this magma river did not exist naturally, but only appeared after the founder of the "Longevity Sect" sat down here many years ago.
According to the records in the family's secret information, the founder of the "Longevity Sect" was a monk in the realm of "True Monarch", but after he broke through the eighth realm, he did not go to the tribulation and ascension, but tried to pretend to be a god, and named himself a god called "Huilu", and by showing "miracles" in front of mortals, mortals enshrined him on the altar and burned incense to worship him.
The founder is dead.
But his Dao realm continues to exert influence here, forming this never-ending river of magma.
Because of this, when an accident occurred in the magma river, Zhao Yan's first reaction was: Could it be that the founder of the "Longevity Sect" still left something unknown here?
So she opened her eyes, stopped her cultivation for a while, and climbed the river bank with her spear in her hand, following the direction of the magma flow, wanting to find out what was going on.
After walking dozens of meters, a huge whirlpool appeared in her field of vision-
The scorching magma swirls around a deeply sunken central point, looking like a large, deep funnel. The orange flames swirled around it, rotating with the vortex wall in circles and circles, and then intersecting and colliding at the bottom of the vortex, rising and rising a boiling hot stream, distorting Zhao Yan's vision.
The spear in Zhao Yan's hand is her natal weapon, called "Yizhangwei", which is a high-grade magic weapon.
With the help of its power, Zhao Yan floated into the air, and at a glance, he saw that in the deepest part of the whirlpool, there was a man in Tsing Yi who was meditating and cultivating.
It's just that because of the ban placed around him, Zhao Yan couldn't see the face of the man in Tsing Yi clearly, and only felt that his face was blurry, as if it was covered by clouds and mist; He couldn't tell his cultivation realm from his true yuan aura.
"I thought it was a rare treasure left behind by the founder of the 'Longevity Sect'," Zhao Yan pursed her lips and snorted coldly, secretly thinking, "I didn't expect someone to cultivate here—and made such a big move, and even refused to reveal his true face...... It's disappointing. ”
Zhao Yan has been practicing here for more than ten days.
As the concubine of the Zhao family, she has lived a pampered life since she was a child - in the Youzhou region, her status is even more noble than that of Princess Daqi.
This made her develop an arrogant and domineering personality.
Deep down in her heart, she had made the cave her own private retreat.
Now someone suddenly broke in, occupying her territory, affecting her cultivation, which undoubtedly made her feel irritable.
It's just that she can't see through the cultivation realm of this Tsing Yi man-
If he can create such a huge vortex in the magma river, his strength must be extraordinary.
It shouldn't be easy to get rid of him.
However, Zhao Yan thought again, no matter how strong this person is, it is impossible to compare to the saint. As long as he tells him that "Miss Ben is the Zhao family" and gives him a little compensation, maybe he will be afraid of the power of the Zhao family and leave on his own.
So Zhao Yan floated to the top of the whirlpool, looked at the man in Tsing Yi at the bottom of the whirlpool condescendingly, turned the spear in his hand carelessly, and said lightly: "This brother, Zhao Yan in Xiayouzhou, started cultivating in this cave more than ten days ago, and now he has reached a critical stage of cultivation, and he must not be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise there will be a risk of going mad." So can you ask Brother Tai to choose another place? You can use elixirs or magic weapons to compensate for your losses. ”
Zhao Yan felt that her attitude was already very sincere.
not only emphasized the "first come, first served" and possible risks, but also proposed compensation, and even gave the other party a chance to have a good relationship with the Zhao family in Youzhou.
She really couldn't think of any reason for the other party to reject her.
However, the people in Tsing Yi under the whirlpool didn't seem to hear her words at all.
He was still concentrating on his cultivation, reciting obscure scriptures softly in his mouth.
This verse seems to have a subtle echo of the cave's environment.
The light and shade of the flame changed almost exactly the same frequency as the change in his intonation.
