Chapter 116 Immortal Fire Gives Birth to Immortal Tree

In the primitive ruins, near the active volcano, the elders of the six major caves of Yan State gathered together.

Looking at the ashes on the ground, the eight people all showed horror on their faces.

Han Jiuniu, the elder of Lingxu Cave Heaven, thought for a moment and said worriedly, "Could it be that the demons have fought back?"

Ma Hongtao, the elder of Yuding Cave Heaven, shook his head and said, "It's impossible that the demons fought back. The last time those holy land families joined forces to attack the Demon Emperor's Tomb, they also killed all the demons in the original ruins."

The elder of Ziyang Cave Heaven said, "Could it be that some of the big shots from Zhongzhou in Yandu have come to explore the remains of the Demon Emperor's Tomb?"

The elder of Jinxia Cave Heaven said, "That's impossible. For the training of our young disciples, we have sealed off the periphery of the primitive ruins. If an important person enters or leaves the primitive ruins, it will make a lot of noise, and we will definitely find out. Besides, those important people will not treat young people with the same view."

“Then how do you explain that these disciples were almost all wiped out in an instant, without even their bodies left?” said an elder from Yanxia Dongtian, pointing at the ashes on the ground.

"Old Han, your Lingxu Cave is backed by the Yaoguang Holy Land. Can you ask someone in Yandu to inquire about the news and see if there is anyone who has been to this primitive ruin?" An elder of Xiyue Cave said to Han Jiuniu of Lingxu Cave.

"Although Weiwei has joined the Yaoguang Holy Land, her current status is not high." Elder Han of Lingxu Dongtian said hesitantly. His meaning was very clear, he was powerless. Moreover, investigating the movements of big shots was a taboo, and the consequences were not something that small sects like them could afford.

"This place may not be as safe as we thought. They did not necessarily die at the hands of others. Let's end the training here. Too many big shots have come to Yandu recently. It is not a wise move for us to organize young disciples to go out for training at this time. If they accidentally offend those big shots, the entire sect may be implicated." Another elder of Jinxia Dongtian said.

"Did our disciple die in such an unclear way?"

"What else do you want? Are you going to seek revenge on those big shots? Don't you think that even the leaders of our sects don't have the power to turn our disciples into ashes in an instant?"

Although they were unwilling to do so, the eight elders from the six great caves of Yan State finally chose to compromise with reality, hurriedly ended their training, and left the original ruins with the other disciples who were still alive.

A carefully planned joint experience came to an abrupt end.

But Li Zhi didn't know all this. After leaving the original ruins, he went directly to the ancient forest.

Before entering the forest, Li Zhi discovered that many cultivators gathered there, including some from the Hualong Secret Realm.

It seems like a large magic circle is being built.

Just when Li Zhi was about to take a detour into the ancient forest, a young man discovered his trail and shouted at him, "Little Taoist priest, please stay."

Li Zhi frowned slightly, but still stopped. After the man came over, he said, "Wulian Tianzun, Daoist friend, is there anything you want to ask me?"

The young man stared at Li Zhi with some curiosity, as if trying to determine his origins, and said, "Little Taoist priest, don't you know that this place has been blocked? How dare you barge in here? Didn't your elders warn you?"

Li Zhi was slightly surprised and said, "Wulian Tianzun, you actually dare to seal the life forbidden zone? Who are you? Are you so brave that you have such courage?"

"Ahem!" The young man was choked by Li Zhi's words and was almost scared to death. He shouted quickly: "Little Taoist priest, don't talk nonsense. We just blocked this forest. We never thought of sealing the life forbidden zone."

"Your Excellency Wuliang Tianzun, you scared me to death. I knew it, who in this world has the courage to seal the life forbidden zone? This will implicate everyone in the world and make them buried with you." Li Zhi patted his chest, as if he was frightened by the young man.

"Little Taoist priest, who are you and what are you doing here?" The young man looked at Li Zhi with curiosity, as if he had never seen such a smart little Taoist priest.

Li Zhi immediately had a token in his hand and shook it at the young man, then asked, "Since you have blocked this forest, have you encountered Saint Body Ye Fan here?"

After the young man saw the elder token of Yao Chi Holy Land in Li Zhi's hand, he was slightly stunned, and then said kindly: "So the Taoist priest is from Yao Chi Holy Land. Doesn't Yao Chi Holy Land only accept female disciples? When did it also accept Taoist priests?"

Li Zhi had no intention of explaining, and then asked: "Have you seen the Holy Body Ye Fan here?"

The young man shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it."

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Since I haven't seen the Holy Body, I will take my leave."

"Master, please stay." The young man shouted hurriedly when he saw Li Zhi was about to leave.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Li Zhi turned around and asked.

The young man asked, "Since you are a disciple of Yao Chi, are you interested in going with us to the sacred mountain in the ancient forbidden area to pick magical herbs?"

He thought to himself that the cooperation between the three holy places and the Yin Yang Sect in Zhongzhou was not very sure. If they could bring in the Yao Chi Holy Land as well, perhaps the chances of success would be a little higher.

By then, he might be able to get a huge reward for it.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I would like to give you a piece of advice. The sea of ​​suffering is boundless. It is better to turn back and not waste your time and efforts and cost your life in vain. The reason why the Forbidden Zone of Life is called the Forbidden Zone of Life is that it is a place where no one is allowed to enter. No matter whether you are the unparalleled emperor or the peerless saint, you will not escape the fate of withering." Li Zhi said to the relatively amiable young man with a compassionate face.

The young man was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

But looking around, there was no trace of Li Zhi.

Soon, another young man came over and shouted, "Brother Wu, the elder is looking for you. Why are you here?"

"Junior brother, do you think we can succeed in setting up the magic circle here?" The young man surnamed Wu said subconsciously with a trace of confusion in his eyes.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you? This time, our three holy places and Yin Yang Sect have joined forces to carve a peerless array pattern here, open the domain gate, and teleport people directly to the nine holy mountains to pick divine medicine. It will definitely succeed."

"Just now, I met a young Taoist priest from the sacred land of Yaochi. He advised us to turn back, otherwise we will suffer a disaster." said the young man surnamed Wu.

"A little Taoist priest from the Holy Land of Yao Chi? When did there appear to be Taoist priests in the Holy Land of Yao Chi? Brother, you must have been deceived." The junior brother looked left and right but did not see any trace of Li Zhi, so he said.

"There's no mistake. The elder tokens of the Yao Chi Holy Land are all specially made and difficult to forge. I recognize that kind of token. Junior brother, what does the elder want to see me about?" The young man temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

"I don't know exactly what it is. I just heard that some young disciples from Zhongzhou want to visit the remains of the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Maybe the elder wants you to take them to visit the original ruins. After all, you were the only one who participated in the battle there three years ago."

"They actually want to go to the original ruins? There is nothing there, what is there to see? The real treasure has been returned to the hands of the Demon Emperor's descendants. The Desolate Tower has also sunk under the boundless earth and disappeared. As for the treasure of Zhongzhou, it has long been secretly picked up by an unknown cultivator. What can they find there?"

The young man surnamed Wu did not lie. After the Huangta escaped, the war stopped and the original ruins were almost turned upside down by those monks, without leaving any place untouched.

Not to mention the treasures that flew out of the Demon Emperor's tomb, even the spiritual medicines of a certain age in the ruined forest were looted by those cultivators like locusts passing through a land.

"I don't know about this junior brother, I guess he is just bored." said the young man.

A group of energetic young people came from Zhongzhou to the southern region of Donghuang, and they will not stop until they do something.

The young man surnamed Wu felt very uncomfortable and didn't want to see the faces of those young people from Zhongzhou.

At the same time, Li Zhi had already arrived in Yandu. After some inquiries, he learned that the old emperor of the Guhua Dynasty had entered the ancient forbidden area a month and a half ago.

During this period, no one saw Ye Fan's whereabouts.

Li Zhi thought about it and thought that perhaps Ye Fan was recuperating in the ancient restricted area at this moment, or he might not have returned to the Southern Region yet.

Afterwards, Li Zhi left Yandu and went directly to Jin State, which was famous in the southern region.

He wanted to go to the Fire Region of Jin State to observe the fairy fire there and cultivate the companion fairy tree of the divine treasure of the heart.

The area of ​​the Fire Zone is only a hundred miles in radius, but the flames in the Fire Zone never go out. It has been burning for countless tens of thousands of years since ancient times. It is difficult to say how long it has existed.

There is no grass or trees on the ground in the Fire Zone, and no magma underground. There is no material to support combustion, only magical flames, and those flames cannot be extinguished at all.

The flames in the Fire Domain have mysterious powers. They can be used to refine weapons and help the "weapons" take shape. At the same time, they can imprint "Tao" and "principle". It is the preferred place for many great figures to refine weapons.

Recalling the legend about the Fire Region, Li Zhi arrived at the Fire Region in the west of Jin State one day later. Looking at the peaceful Fire Region in front of him, Li Zhi knew that he had come at a good time, not when the blazing flames were sweeping across the sky.

It seems that the fairy fire is not absorbing the essence of heaven and earth at this moment, and is in a stable dormant state.

Li Zhi walked in without hesitation.

According to legend, there are nine levels of fire domain. The outermost flame is a crimson flame, which is not very powerful. As long as the cultivators of the Wheel Sea Secret Realm have divine power to protect their bodies, they can enter and exit.

Li Zhi walked in the red flame area, emitting a faint divine power to protect his body, thus isolating the scorching breath outside.

After walking a few miles further in, the flames changed from red to light blue, and the temperature became even hotter. Even with the protection of divine power, one could still feel the bursts of burning breath.

However, the second layer of flames could not block Li Zhi's way. He continued to move forward without stopping. The color of the flames changed again, from light blue to milky white. The flames seemed to be liquefied and turned into flame mist. It contained a terrifying high temperature, but it did not stop Li Zhi's progress at all.

Continuing to walk in, after passing through an area full of huge rocks, Li Zhi entered the fourth level of the Fire Domain, the Nether Fire Domain. It was filled with black flames, as if they came from the netherworld of hell. They burned silently, as if they wanted to burn the souls of all living beings.

Perhaps for ordinary cultivators from the Taoist secret realm, coming here is already the limit.

However, Li Zhi's physical body and magical power are by no means comparable to those of ordinary cultivators in the Taoist secret realm, and those black underworld fires cannot block his way.

Continuing to travel, Li Zhi arrived at the fifth level of the Fire Realm, which was filled with golden flames, like the golden flames of the sun, and was filled with extremely high temperatures.

Li Zhi walked in and immediately felt a sharp pain in his body. The golden flames seemed to evaporate all the moisture in his body.

I'm afraid I won't be able to move forward simply by relying on divine power to protect myself.

Afterwards, Li Zhi's body-protecting divine power flashed, and the feeling of his body breaking disappeared in an instant.

He activated the Dao rune in his body that represented the "Heavenly Divine Palm", allowing the divine power to contain a force of transformation that could transform all tangible attacks into invisible ones.

After the fifth level of the golden sun flame failed to affect him, Li Zhi quickened his pace.

Soon they passed through that area and arrived at the sixth level of the Fire Region, the famous Purple Air Coming from the East area. The flames here did not look like raging fire, but rather like purple mist flowing, making everything hazy.

The flames in this area are also the area that many powerful people choose to refine their weapons.

After entering, Li Zhi felt that the consumption of his own divine power had almost doubled.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Transforming Divine Palm was mysterious enough to resolve the invasion of the purple fire.

Li Zhi didn't dare to stay here any longer, and directly passed through the sixth level of the Purple Air Coming from the East area and entered the seventh level of the Five Elements True Fire area in the Fire Domain.

The five elements true fire in the seventh area was like colorful clouds, carrying terrifying power. Even when Li Zhi used the all-transforming power of the Heavenly Transformation Palm to dissolve the fire energy, he still felt a bit of effort.

It’s not that the power of the mysterious method is not enough, but that Li Zhi’s Taoism and magic power are not enough to bring out its unparalleled power.

Li Zhi could only use the Hundred Herbs Map and hang it above his head to isolate a safe area with a radius of ten feet.

Afterwards, Li Zhi quickly passed through the seventh-level Five Elements True Fire area and came to the eighth-level Seven Colors True Fire area.

Only a few extremely powerful people can stay in this area.

After passing through the eighth level of fire and entering the ninth level of fire, there was no sea of ​​fire around.

There were only a few flames that transformed from time to time into various small fire creatures and ran back and forth in that area.

There seems to be no regular pattern, appearing here and there, free and happy.

But Li Zhi's expression was extremely solemn.

Because each of those little fire creatures represents a terrifying flame.

I'm afraid that if those extremely cute little creatures get close to you, even a king might be burned to death.

Li Zhi became extremely cautious in his movements, not daring to disturb them.

After carefully crossing the ninth level of fire, after climbing over a hill, Li Zhi finally saw a ball of mysterious fairy fire.

The fairy fire now looks like a small tree, only three feet tall, quietly rooted in a black stone, emitting a somewhat dim light.

Li Zhi opened his third eye, penetrated the halo surrounding it, and finally saw its true nature.

It looks like a small sapling in the shape of a flame flower, but in fact, each wisp of flame seems to contain infinite runes, as if the entire fairy fire is condensed from the runes of the great way related to fire.

It was extremely mysterious. Li Zhi couldn't see the specific meaning of the runes, but in every wisp of flame, there seemed to be the great way of birth and death related to fire.

It makes people unconsciously want to get close to it, or even pounce on it.

Li Zhi quickly calmed himself down, then found a large black rock less than thirty meters away from the fairy fire and sat down.

Then he began to observe the shape of the fairy fire and feel the great artistic conception emanating from it.

Li Zhi had no intention of communicating with it with his mind, he was just observing it.

The immortal fire is spiritual, and Li Zhi is worried that if he fails to communicate with it, it will be enraged. At that time, even if he has a quasi-emperor divine weapon to protect him, it may not be able to protect him.

Emptying his mind and constantly feeling the changes in the immortal fire, the sound of the great Dao gradually began to echo in Li Zhi's Taoist palace.

The "Innate Longevity Skill" and the "Western Emperor Sutra" were running almost at the same time, emitting a mysterious Taoist charm, and even capturing the mysterious energy in the air and filling it into the heart's divine storage, causing the divine power in the heart's divine storage to undergo an inexplicable transformation, becoming more solid and powerful, and more divine.

Not long after, the endless fire energy within the heart's divine treasure began to condense continuously. Under the guidance of the mysterious method, a fiery red seed gradually emerged in the ocean of divine power.

But at this moment, the mysterious fairy fire seemed to sense something and woke up from its deep sleep. The gray flame that originally enveloped its body instantly burst into nine-color light.

Without waiting for Li Zhi to react, the nine-colored light turned into a divine rainbow and shot directly into the divine storage in Li Zhi's heart.

At this moment, the protective light released by the Quasi-Emperor's Divine Weapon, the Hundred Herbs Map, was actually like paper, with no power of resistance at all.

Just when Li Zhi thought he was going to die, the nine-colored light did not burn his body, nor did it ignite the divine power within his heart.

Instead, it directly merged with the seed that had just condensed.

In an instant, a mysterious fairy tree with nine-colored flames took root and sprouted in Li Zhi's heart at a growth speed visible to the naked eye.

It doesn't stop growing until it reaches three meters tall.

The grown-up Nine-Colored Flame Fairy Tree began to sway, and then flew out of Li Zhi's heart's divine storage uncontrollably, came to the side of the fairy fire, circled around the fairy fire several times, and then took root again in Li Zhi's heart's divine storage.

It looked as happy as a newborn cub seeing its mother.

Li Zhi was greatly shocked, and he quickly controlled the divine map to rush out of the fire area, fearing that he would encounter unknown troubles.
