Chapter 276: Past Events in the Divine Fire Region
An Wuzhi and Chu Jingtang also landed in front of him one after another. Seeing the faint silver-blue flame caught in Shi Chun's hand, they were very happy, especially An Wuzhi, whose eyes were filled with an indescribable heat.
Chu Jingtang glanced at the empty space around him and said with great emotion, "After running so far, I finally caught him. This place is many times larger than the Iron Forest and the Lava Land. The front is still endless."
He reached out to catch a snowflake and watched it turn into a drop of water in his palm. Suddenly, a piece of snow fell and hit his hand. He looked up and saw that it fell from the icicle in front of him.
He walked closer and reached out his hand to brush away the layer of snow on the surface. He saw the white jade-like ice and asked curiously, "How could this ice freeze into such a tall pillar on the plain? It can't be natural, right?"
As he spoke, he looked back and saw Shi Chun, who was staring at the pillar, slowly backing away, further and further away, as if he wanted to get a good look at the icicle.
An Wuzhi, who had been staring at the divine fire in his hand, also sensed something unusual about Shi Chun. He turned his head to look, but could not see anything.
Shi Chun didn't understand what it was at first. The reason he wanted to take a closer look was because of the divine fire he had just caught in his hand.
Before, the silver-blue divine fire had been fleeing all the way, and no matter how it was threatened or attacked, it did not change its route. It kept coming here, and found the abrupt icicle on the ice field. It even jumped out from under the ice and snow, and danced in front of the icicle. It seemed that it was coming all the way for this icicle.
It was obvious that this icicle was likely to be of some significance.
Previously, he was closely watching the divine fire escape and was eager to catch it, so he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he had the divine fire in his hands, he naturally had to examine it carefully.
Phantom, and then I saw another swaying shadow, and there were more than one.
In the ice pillar in the supernatural power of his right eye, there were actually five phantoms, just like the phantom of the divine fire he controlled in his hand, but they were of different sizes, and the smallest one was even smaller than the one he held in his hand.
What surprised him was that the five phantoms seemed to be struggling desperately just like the one in his hand.
Could it be the divine fire too?
Is the legend wrong? Doesn't it say that there is only one sacred fire in a region?
He admitted that this area was indeed large, and it was possible that two divine fires appeared, but there couldn't be five divine fires crowded together.
Thinking about the situation of the divine fire in his hand just now, Shi Chun muttered secretly, could it be that he had found Bingyan's lair? Was the divine fire in his hand frightened and wanted to hide back home?
Come to think of it, it is indeed possible, it is very similar.
There are five flowers, and I still have one in my hand. I have found six divine fires at once. Doesn’t this happiness come too suddenly?
So the smoke from the incense in his hand began to solidify and take shape again when the two people beside him were not paying attention and were also staring at the icicle. Not only did it point at the icicle, but it also shamefully split into six fingers, five of which pointed at the icicle and one pointed at the divine fire in his hand.
He stared at the incense in his hand and exclaimed "Huh", attracting the two people beside him to look back. In the dim light, seeing him staring at the incense, the two people also subconsciously looked over, only to see that the smoke of the "Fire God Incense" with a slight fluctuation of magic power was actually divided into six wisps.
The two did not think much about the fluctuations of the magic power on the incense, thinking it was just a way of casting spells and controlling it.
What attracted the two of them even more was that the smoke split into six branches, one of which pointed to the divine fire in front of them, and the other five pointed to the icicle. Could it be that?
Chu Jingtang asked, "Boss, what does this 'Fire God Incense' mean?"
Shi Chun smacked his lips and said, "That's not right. According to Xiang's instructions, there should be six divine fires. Isn't there only one divine fire in each place? How can there be six in one place?"
"Six?" An Wuzhi was speechless, even though he had the same doubt just now.
Chu Jingtang looked at the icicle and said, "Don't guess. Just blast it open and you'll know." He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to take action.
Shi Chun hurriedly called out, "Hey, don't mess around. If there are really five more hiding inside, how many of them can we three catch if they escape?"
Thinking of the incident with the Iron Forest, Chu Jingtang was still frightened and waved his hands quickly, "Don't look at me, I can't catch any of them. I can't touch this thing. Boss, are you sure you haven't practiced fire-based martial arts?" He pointed to the icy flame in the other party's hand.
However, Shi Chun handed Bingyan to An Wuzhi, who quickly used his skills to control Bingyan. His heartbeat quickened, he became nervous, and his hands shook.
Shi Chun reached into his sleeve again and took out the wind scales, then threw them directly to Chu Jingtang, "If you want to try, you have to be fully prepared. If there are really five of them left, it would be a pity if they escape. Go to the exit and see if Wu Jinliang and the others have escaped. If they have, bring Tong Mingshan with them.
If they haven't escaped, ignore them for now. Bring the two people from the Siding Sect next to Lao Changtai. They have practiced fire-based skills and will be able to help."
Chu Jingtang said, "Wouldn't it be better for those who practiced the fire-type skills to go find Xu Anchang and the others?" Unexpectedly, Shi Chun added, "By the way, tell Lao Changtai that no matter who asks where the two people from the Four Ding Sect went, just say they went to the Iron Forest."
Chu Jingtang was stunned for a moment, then he understood instantly. If Xu Anchang and the others were called here, even if there were six divine fires, there might not be a share for An Wuzhi and Zhu Xiangxin. The boss obviously wanted to take care of his own people first. As for the two disciples of the Four Ding Sect, they were just being used, and they would probably disappear after they were used up.
Seeing Chu in a daze, An Wuzhi became anxious, "Brother Chu, stop dawdling and help run errands."
He was the one who most supported Shi Chun's approach. He didn't want to lose the qualification to absorb the divine fire. Why would he give it up now that he had already got it?
Knowing his desire for the divine fire, Chu Jingtang nodded, then rode away on the Wind Scale and returned along the same path left on the ground.
Shi Chun and An Wuzhi waited here for the time being, looking at the icicle from time to time. They did not dare to act rashly until all the staff arrived.
"If there really are five, how come they are gathered together? Isn't it said that there is only one flower in each area? You practice fire-based skills, do you know the reason?"
Since he was free anyway, Shi Chun asked.
An Wuzhi, who was holding Bingyan, smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that I practice fire-based techniques, but I don't know much about the situation in the Divine Fire Region. Those weapon-refining sects that know about it are basically unwilling to reveal it. However, the Divine Fire Region is very vast, and the situations we hear about may not be absolute. Any special situation may happen."
Shi Chun nodded slightly, "That's true, if those weapon-refining sects really knew the Divine Fire Region so well, there wouldn't be so few people who found the Divine Fire each year.
What I wonder is, since only those who have absorbed the Divine Fire can open the Divine Fire Spirit Gate and enter the Divine Fire Realm, then there must be someone who has not absorbed the Divine Fire who has entered the Divine Fire Realm first. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
An Wuzhi said: "Only those who have absorbed the divine fire can use the divine fire spirit gate to open the divine fire domain, that is a later matter.
In ancient times, there was a man called 'Fire God'. He was the first to sense the Divine Fire Domain and the first to open it. He did not need the help of any Divine Fire Spirit Gate. With his high level of cultivation, he tore open a void passage and came in directly. I heard that he later brought a group of masters in for a battle. "
Shi Chun was surprised, "A big battle?"
An Wuzhi nodded, "Yes, it was a war. At that time, the Divine Fire Region was entrenched with many fire spirit monsters that had existed for who knows how many years. For example, the fire crocodile we saw must have lived for at least a thousand years to be able to transform.
When the Divine Fire Domain was first opened, the old monsters that were entrenched there had never been cleared out. They were countless times more terrifying than the Fire Crocodiles, and they were all terrifying creatures that had existed for endless years.
The Fire God suffered a loss alone, so he came out to get reinforcements and tricked a bunch of people into going in…"
Shi Chun: "Were you tricked into getting in?"
An Wuzhi said: "Without some attraction, how could so many people easily come to take risks. It can't be said to be a lie, he is also telling the truth, saying that absorbing the divine fire can help people below the human immortal realm to quickly improve their cultivation. Just ask, which master doesn't have some disciples?
In the end, he brought in a large group of experts. At that time, there were not only those who refined weapons, but also those who practiced various fire-related skills. There were also some experts from other fields who came to see the world. They were all ancient god-level figures.
Even among these people, many still died in the Divine Fire Domain. Even the God of Fire eventually died here. This shows how terrifying those old monsters in the Divine Fire Domain were back then.
According to those who came out, the God of Fire desperately opened the passage before his death and sent them out, and among these people there were many who absorbed the divine fire. It was also that time that the cultivation world retained the link between itself and the Divine Fire Realm, and it could be said that it was the fire that the God of Fire personally preserved.
Later, generation after generation of people who practiced fire-based skills continued to conquer the Divine Fire Region. The reason was nothing but their desire for the Divine Fire, which could quickly improve the cultivation of their descendants. It was also because of the efforts of those ancestors that the terrifying monsters in the Divine Fire Region were cleared, and many ancestors and great powers also died there.
Although the Divine Fire Domain has produced many powerful people, it has also buried many powerful people. Who knows whether it is a gain or a loss?
As for why only weapon refiners can enter later, the reason is simple. The key to enter is in the hands of weapon refiners, and it cannot be taken away. The God of Fire is gone, and you need a magic weapon to help you enter, and only weapon refiners can refine the Divine Fire Spirit Gate. "
Shi Chun: "Why aren't there any experts coming in now?"
An Wuzhi: "First, there were several accidents. For some unknown reason, the passage between the two worlds could not be opened. The Ice Sheep could not last long. No matter how many were brought in, their retention period was limited. Rumor has it that the environment in the Divine Fire Domain would become extremely extreme after being away from the cultivation world. In any case, several groups of people were trapped and died because of this. The masters came in and robbed too fiercely, causing the vitality of those weapon-refining sects to be severely damaged. Many large sects even declined because of this. This is why the current rules are in place."
As soon as the words fell, they both turned their heads to look back the way they came, only to see a wind scale falling, and it was Chu Jingtang running back with a panicked look on his face.
