Weapon Master

With regards to this cave, Tang Huan had long been curious.

After all, he had already stayed here for quite some time, and his stomach was already rumbling with hunger. If he continued to venture deeper, then if there was an accident where he was trapped, not to mention that he might even starve to death by delaying the Martial Competition.

But with Xiao Budian’s guidance, the situation was completely different. The only thing that could make it so excited was definitely a gem, and it was very possibly not far away.

Since that was the case, there was no harm in going in to take a look now.

In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan had already strode deep into the cave. With a happy ”yiyaya”, he jumped onto Tang Huan’s shoulder with his four claws.

The blood-red cave twisted and turned. The further they went, the more intense the heat wave became.

After walking forward for around two hundred meters, Tang Huan was already drenched in sweat. Even he found the heat of this place difficult to endure. But just as Tang Huan was about to use the ”Heaven and Earth Art” and use the True Fire’s power to resist the heat, the ”Nine Yang Divine Furnace” inside the Dantian suddenly took the initiative to spin.

”This is …”

A trace of doubt flashed across Tang Huan’s eyes.

Such an abnormality had also happened before, and it was when the ”Pure Yang Pill Bead” in Shan Shan’s body was about to erupt. Now that the cauldron was showing signs of such activity, could it be that there was something similar to the ”Pure Yang Pill Bead” in front of the cave?

While he was thinking, Tang Huan started to feel it carefully.

After just a moment, Tang Huan discovered that following the ”Nine Yang Divine Furnace” ’s quick rotation, traces of a slight but strange pure heat was separated from the surrounding waves of heat, quickly entering his body, and followed his meridians to enter the Dantian Furnace.

Without those wisps of strange heat waves, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

”Nirvana Sacred Fire?”

In the next moment, Tang Huan’s state of mind started to fluctuate.

The warm energy that was being absorbed by the cauldron was actually extremely similar to the Phoenix feather that Gu Fei had given him.

Although the heat exuded from both sides were strong and weak, they were exactly the same, seemingly from the same source.

”Could it be that the ’Nirvana Sacred Fire’ is in the depths of this cave, and not in the Phoenix Spirit Valley over there?” Tang Huan couldn’t help but think of this.

If the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire” really appeared in front of him, Tang Huan would not be surprised at all. As one of the Five Great Spiritual Fire s, it had existed for countless of years and was extremely intelligent. It was not surprising for it to have moved from the Phoenix Spirit Valley to the Bloody Flame Mountain.

”Should we go or not?”

The blood-red cave had yet to extend outwards by who knows how far, but Tang Huan was beginning to hesitate.

That ”Nirvana Sacred Fire” was one of his goals for coming to Feng Ming Mountain, but he had never thought that he would encounter the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire” so soon. [] [Table of Contents]

In his initial assumption, he would only act after the end of the ”Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting”. At that time, without the attraction of the ”Phoenix Flame Essence”, the gathered Martial Warriors would definitely disperse quickly. Furthermore, he would be able to search for traces of the Spiritual Fire slowly as well, so he did not need to worry about being disturbed too much.

However, the plan was completely unable to keep up with the changes.

He originally only came to this Bloody Flame Mountain to search for Feng Yu, but in the end, by chance, he actually found the true hiding place of the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire”.

”Since we’re already here, how can we retreat?”

In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan made a decision to continue advancing.

However, when he took a step forward, Tang Huan had already activated his cultivation technique to its limits. Inside the Dantian, the ”Nine Yang Divine Furnace” and the ”Spiritual Wheel” were both rotating at a very fast speed, and that bizarre heat wave was seeping into his body at an even faster rate, slowly being refined and absorbed by Tang Huan.

The heat wave was like a surging wave, roaring continuously towards him. However, the moment they got close to Tang Huan, the bizarre heat wave contained within was immediately sucked in by the sucking, and the heat that Tang Huan could feel instantly dropped greatly. It was almost at the same level as the cave entrance, which was completely within the range that Tang Huan could endure.

”Xiao Budian, what you discovered just now was not a gem, but a ’Nirvana Sacred Fire’, right?” Tang Huan walked briskly and could not help but ask with a smile.

”Yiya?”

Xiao Budian scratched his head, as though he had his own suspicions.

Tang Huan laughed involuntarily. It wasn’t impossible, no matter if it was the ”Phoenix Stone” or the ”Phoenix Feather”, the heat aura they contained was actually extremely similar to that of the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire”. The heat wave that came surging out contained the heat of the sacred fire, so it was normal for it to misjudge.

They continued to advance for nearly a kilometer, but the strange heat was ten times more intense.

The speed at which Tang Huan refined the heat was no longer able to keep up with the speed of the ”Nine Yang Divine Furnace”, as more and more heat gathered in the cauldron.

It was also at this time that the cave in front suddenly expanded rapidly, and two blood-red gates suddenly entered Tang Huan’s line of sight.

The two doors were a few meters wide and ten meters high. There were barely any gaps between the doors.

On the surface of the door, each one was carved with an upside-down, fiery red phoenix. Its long tail and feathers were linked together, forming a big circle with its beak facing the other. The heatwaves that filled the tunnel were emitted from that door one after another, as if they would never stop.

”Since there’s a door, there must be a heavenly passage behind it!”

Tang Huan quickly walked to the door. If the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire” was truly deep inside the cave, then it was definitely right behind these two doors.

However, how would he be able to open these two gates? Tang Huan’s mind raced, his palms that were filled with Genuine Qi landed on the door, he pushed on the door with his Spirit Qi, causing the two doors to not move at all.

Seeing that, Tang Huan immediately understood.

If he wanted to open the door, he must not use too much strength. Moreover, he must be able to open the door, otherwise, how did the person who made this door enter? How could he enter the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire”? In a flash of thought, Tang Huan began to carefully observe his surroundings.

”Huh?”

After a while, Tang Huan realized that below each of the two phoenixes’ heads, there was actually a tall red ring, sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved out of jade. Each ring was as thick as three fingers and as big as two basketballs.

Tang Huan only hesitated for a moment before extending both of his hands to grab each of the hoops.

But in the next moment, Tang Huan frowned slightly.

Seemingly at the very instant he touched the ring, he felt a strong surge of sucking power, which actually firmly sucked his two palms into the ring. Immediately afterwards, the Genuine Qi in Tang Huan’s body was activated, and like a broken dam, it surged out violently and disappeared into the ring.

”This thing can actually wield the power of sucking.”

Tang Huan’s brows furrowed even more. With the speed at which the was being absorbed by the ring, it would not take long before all the Genuine Qi in his body was exhausted.

In a short period of mind instructs (in a second), Tang Huan activated the True Fire.

Under the enveloping force of the True Fire, the bizarre heat wave that was gathered inside the Dantian passed through the Spiritual Meridian and revealed two palms, which were actually also absorbed by the ring.
