Qin Xuan uttered a few words with a heavy heart.
He wouldn't be worried if it were an ordinary Spiritual Fire, but he knew best what a Black Spiritual Fire meant.
"When a Spiritual Fire turns black, it means it's only one step away from growing into a new Heavenly Fire. Of course, this one step is the most difficult part to complete."
If the process of a Spiritual Fire changing from other colors to black is an accumulation of quantitative change, then the transformation from a Spiritual Fire to a Heavenly Fire is the final qualitative change.
And the process of qualitative change is, without a doubt, the most difficult part.
"Black Spiritual Fire, it's been so many years, I've only witnessed it once, and that was a long time ago."
Han Ye said.
He still remembered the despair of that overwhelming, all-consuming flame when the Black Spiritual Fire surged out of the body.
Now, here, he once again felt the same sensation.
"However, this Profound Dragon seems to have been born instinctively from the Spiritual Fire; it hasn't developed sentience. This is the most optimistic situation for now."
Han Ye said to Qin Xuan, who gave a helpless bitter smile upon hearing this.
Regardless of whether it had sentience or not, this thing was difficult to deal with, let alone subdue.
"I don't know how vast this Black magma is. It's clear that the entire Dan Peak… no, the entire Azure Green Sect's underground must have been burned into Black magma by this Black Spiritual Fire. The Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword is definitely within this magma."
Qin Xuan calculated, even if it was a Black Spiritual Fire, it didn't matter; there wasn't no chance at all.
With the Refining God Cauldron, he could try.
"But, how did this Spiritual Fire take the shape of a Dragon? Normally, a Spiritual Fire shouldn't look like this."
Han Ye couldn't figure it out.
"Qin Xuan, do you want to continue? The danger in here is still very great, you should understand..."
Han Ye didn't finish his sentence before Qin Xuan shook his head.
"Today is absolutely out of the question. Since it's a Black Spiritual Fire, we'll have to re-plan and reconsider."
Qin Xuan pondered, about to turn and leave, when suddenly his eyes lit up.
Not far from the passage, Qin Xuan saw a red light.
This light was clearly not as powerful as the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword, but to emit light in the Black magma, this thing was also extraordinary.
Staring intently, after the Black magma churned, a red Medicine Cauldron appeared in Qin Xuan's sight.
The Medicine Cauldron was covered in various intricate patterns.
"Is this a gluttonous pattern?"
Just as Qin Xuan was staring at the Medicine Cauldron, the Medicine Cauldron moved, revealing its front.
"This is, Vermilion Bird!"
"It's the Vermillion Bird Cauldron!"
Qin Xuan could instantly confirm that this Cauldron was the Medicine Cauldron that Jiang Dan had mentioned was once used by the thirty-third Sect Master.
"No wonder it disappeared and died here. So it entered here. Then being burned to death is normal."
"The power of the Black Spiritual Fire, even that generation's Sect Master couldn't withstand it. It's truly formidable."
Qin Xuan pondered, looking at the Medicine Cauldron in front of him, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"This Medicine Cauldron is just being wasted here; why don't I go over and try..."
"No!"
Qin Xuan immediately suppressed this thought.
This was a Black Spiritual Fire; if he wasn't careful, he would die here.
The Vermillion Bird Cauldron was indeed powerful, but one had to be alive to obtain it.
But after watching for a long time, Qin Xuan was still somewhat eager to try.
The Vermillion Bird Cauldron wasn't too far from here, and he also had the Refining God Cauldron protecting him. If he didn't even have the courage to go over and test it, that would be inexcusable.
What's more...
He was determined to obtain the Crimson Flame Sky Severing Sword.
Today was a good day to go and try.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan immediately had the Taihuang Aura protect him, then controlled the Refining God Cauldron to fly towards the Vermillion Bird Cauldron.
Anything that could survive in this Black Spiritual Fire must be extraordinary.
The Refining God Cauldron slowly flew over.
The closer he got to the Black magma, the more intense the scorching sensation became.
However, fortunately, Qin Xuan's physical quality was good enough, and the surrounding heat waves didn't affect him much.
In addition, there was the help of the Taihuang Aura and the Refining God Cauldron.
Under the protection of the Refining God Cauldron, Qin Xuan was not significantly affected at this moment.
Slowly and carefully approaching the Vermillion Bird Cauldron, watching the Medicine Cauldron constantly bobbing up and down on the Black magma, Qin Xuan gritted his teeth, completely enveloped himself with the Taihuang Aura, and reached out to grab the Vermillion Bird Cauldron.
"Hiss!"
The moment the Vermillion Bird Cauldron entered his hand, Qin Xuan felt an incomparable burning pain in his hand.
Enduring the sharp pain, Qin Xuan pulled hard, pulling the Vermillion Bird Cauldron out.
"Splash!"
Black magma poured out of the Medicine Cauldron, falling below.
The burning pain grew stronger and stronger, and Qin Xuan hurriedly pulled the Vermillion Bird Cauldron completely out of the magma.
"Clang!"
A sound came from inside the Medicine Cauldron, and Qin Xuan looked inside.
Inside the Medicine Cauldron was a white skull, and in the skull's mouth was a rolled-up beast skin ancient scroll.
"What material is this ancient scroll made of? The Black Spiritual Fire couldn't even melt it?"
Qin Xuan gasped in amazement.
Besides this skull, there was also a bead that constantly emitted cold Qi.
"chill marrow pearl! No problem, this is the skeleton of the thirty-third Sect Master of the Azure Green Sect."
Han Ye hurriedly explained to Qin Xuan.
"This chill marrow pearl is a bead made by extracting the essence of countless chill marrows. Once refined, ordinary Spiritual Fires would be extinguished by this cold Qi..."
Qin Xuan, however, raised an eyebrow noncommittally.
"Then that's strange, how is this Profound Dragon Spiritual Fire still here?"
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Han Ye also felt a bit awkward.
"There's no way, the Black Spiritual Fire is simply too strong. It's not that the chill marrow pearl is too weak, it's that this Spiritual Fire is too strong."
After putting the Vermillion Bird Cauldron and its contents into the Taihuang Space, Qin Xuan was about to control the Refining God Cauldron to leave.
"Careful!"
Just then, Han Ye suddenly shouted.
Without Han Ye's reminder, Qin Xuan had already noticed the change in temperature around him.
He quickly looked up, his breath almost stopping.
Not far in front of him, a huge Black Dragon head was staring intently at Qin Xuan.
And this Black Dragon head was constantly approaching him.
Damn it, he was discovered by this thing!
Qin Xuan stared stiffly at the enormous Profound Dragon in front of him.
At this moment, the Profound Dragon was exhaling Qi, and streaks of scorching Black flames constantly spewed from its mouth.
Although the Profound Dragon hadn't launched an attack yet, Qin Xuan already felt a powerful sense of oppression, an oppression that made Qin Xuan feel unsteady on his feet.
If he hadn't held on, an ordinary person would have probably already knelt down by now.
This thing was simply too terrifying.
Looking at the Black Spiritual Fire, Qin Xuan didn't know how to respond next.
"Roar!"
A low Dragon roar emanated, and then the Profound Dragon raised its head and stared at Qin Xuan, clearly about to launch an attack.
