“Go!”
Looking at the blue flames ahead and the Taihuang Aura surrounding him, Qin Xuan continued forward.
“The temperature underground is so high, how come the walls of this passage haven't melted into magma?”
Qin Xuan said strangely, then he walked to the side of the passage and reached out to touch it.
“It's actually ice cold!”
Qin Xuan touched the passage in shock, his heart filled with disbelief.
Facing such fierce Earth Vein Fire, not only did this passage not melt, but it was also ice cold.
“It’s cold jade infused with cold marrow!”
Han Ye explained from the side.
“cold marrow is known as the coldest substance under the Nine Heavens. The Azure Green Sect is truly extravagant, adding cold marrow into cold jade and then paving the sides of this passage with it.”
“This way, the Earth Vein Fire will be trapped in this passage. It seems that, accurately speaking, this isn't Earth Vein Fire anymore.”
Han Ye said, and Qin Xuan fell into contemplation.
“If the Earth Vein Fire was already here, this passage would definitely be useless.”
“So, it must be that this passage was built first, and then the Spiritual Fire was thrown in.”
After figuring it out, Qin Xuan was not surprised at all.
Ge Dan and Jiang Dan had told him before that a former Sect Master had thrown a tamed Spiritual Fire into the passage.
It seems that it was that Sect Master's doing.
“The Azure Green Sect back then indeed had deep foundations. In comparison, the current Azure Green Sect is practically a small workshop.”
Han Ye commented, clearly not holding the Azure Green Sect in high regard.
This was normal, as the current Azure Green Sect, strictly speaking, was truly weak in strength.
Although it could be considered one of the behemoths in the Profound Dragon Dao, in a larger area, it was simply not worth mentioning.
“Go!”
“I’ll get some cold marrow if I get the chance in the future, but not now.”
Although he coveted the cold marrow here, Qin Xuan understood that he shouldn't covet it and continued forward.
After a while, the passage ahead suddenly widened, but the surrounding Earth Vein Fire weakened.
“Huh, why is this flame weakening instead?”
Qin Xuan was puzzled, and Han Ye also didn't understand what was happening.
“Could it be that the item is about to appear?”
Qin Xuan felt a surge of excitement.
Although he thought this should be impossible, looking at what was before him, he was still filled with anticipation.
Perhaps he was the fated person for the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword. Since others couldn't take it before, perhaps the sword was waiting for him now.
Accelerating, Qin Xuan rushed directly to the front of the passage. At this point in the passage, the Earth Vein Fire ahead had completely disappeared, leaving only half a cold marrow passage.
“Why did the Spiritual Fire disappear? Could it have been completely absorbed by the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword?”
Qin Xuan was excited and hurried around the corner.
“Boom!”
An uncontrollable heat wave surged out from the front.
Even the Taihuang Aura couldn't completely block this heat wave.
Hastily retreating a few steps, Qin Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, and if he hadn't had the Taihuang Aura for protection, the heat wave just now would have completely engulfed him.
Shaking his head in slight horror, Qin Xuan was still shaken.
“What's in there? Did you see anything?”
Qin Xuan asked Han Ye.
Han Ye, however, said he saw nothing at all.
“The heat wave was too terrifying. My Mental Energy disappeared as soon as I sent it out.”
That terrifying?
Qin Xuan also felt a surge of lingering fear. What exactly was inside that possessed such immense power, capable of even severing probing Mental Energy?
“Qin Xuan, perhaps we should stop here. Whatever is inside might not be so simple.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan frowned, then shook his head.
“We've already come this far today. If we retreat, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?”
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan's mind moved, and he summoned the Refining God Cauldron.
“Although I can only unleash a fraction of this Cauldron's power right now, this Cauldron is an Immortal Artifact. Even if I can only unleash a fraction, whatever is inside definitely can't do anything to it!”
Having made his decision, Qin Xuan immediately entered the Refining God Cauldron and controlled it to fly inside.
Turning around the corner of the passage, the surrounding heat immediately intensified.
Qin Xuan stopped there, staring dumbfounded through the Refining God Cauldron at what lay ahead.
This, this is...
In front of Qin Xuan, an incredibly massive Black Dragon coiled at the deepest part of the Earth Vein.
The Profound Dragon's body was incredibly vast; only a small portion of its body could be seen here.
Yet, even from this small portion, Qin Xuan could feel the terrifying power emanating from it.
At the same time, beneath the Profound Dragon's body was an incredibly vast expanse of black magma.
Scorching heat waves continuously rose.
“Even the cold jade containing cold marrow has melted?”
What in the world is this thing!
Not only did it melt the cold jade, but even the magma it formed was black!
Qin Xuan stared at this scene in disbelief, momentarily speechless.
Without moving forward, Qin Xuan remained in place, his gaze somewhat blank as he looked at the black magma before him.
Even through the Refining God Cauldron, he could feel the scorching heat all around him.
“This is a Spiritual Fire!”
After a while, Qin Xuan finally confirmed that this thing was indeed a Spiritual Fire without a doubt.
“A Black Spiritual Fire, just one step away from being a Heavenly Fire!”
