Xue Jian dismissed it as mere rumor. "Why don't we try someone?"
Yin Yang Laozu agreed and looked at the Yin Yang Twins, who were trembling nearby.
They had just seen Yin Yang Laozu's grotesque true form. Death was inevitable, and they had only one thought: "Run!"
"Come back!" Yin Yang Laozu waved his large hand, and two strange beasts swiftly snatched them up. Under Yin Yang Laozu's control, they were thrown into the Flowing Colors Cloud Space.
After a long while...
There was no more movement. This confirmed Yin Yang Laozu's words. If they encountered an invincible foe inside, they would surely escape or cry out. If they were safe inside, it was impossible for there to be no trace, barely detectable, even though Yin Yang Laozu had placed tracking curses on them.
They vanished as if evaporated, leaving no clues.
Yin Yang Laozu secretly retreated, "This place is not suitable for lingering."
Xue Jian ignored him and continued to guard the entrance of the spatial anomaly with Xue Hua Cheng. Without completing the mission and taking Ming Zhi Tian's head, he would not return.
...
Ming Zhi Tian and the other two entered an unknown space, surrounded by stalactites. It was evident that this place had been formed over a long period.
Yuan Bi Long asked, "Lao Zu, what is this place?"
Yuan Qi Long shook his head, "I don't know, but I can smell the aura of ancient times. This place has at least several hundred years of history."
Ming Zhi Tian looked around, "They haven't followed us. This place is very strange. Let's find an exit first."
Yuan Qi Long took out a Bagua compass and found that the five elements and Bagua were changing on their own. "There is divine fire nearby. Where there is divine fire, there are divine beings..."
Yuan Bi Long didn't understand, "What is divine fire? And... divine beings?"
Ming Zhi Tian also asked, "Divine beings?"
Yuan Qi Long explained, "Divine fire is a type of exotic fire, it can be used for alchemy, and it can be fused with cultivation to become part of combat power."
"Divine beings, as the name suggests, are people with divine abilities, who can cover the sky with a flip of their hand and flatten the earth with a wave, who can control the resurrection of all things and decree the life and death of mortals."
"That divine?" Ming Zhi Tian's understanding was refreshed.
Yuan Qi Long nodded, "That divine."
Following the indicators on the Bagua compass, Yuan Qi Long calculated with his fingers. One hand was not enough, so he asked Yuan Bi Long to hold the compass while he used both hands, with all ten fingers, to calculate rapidly.
After a while...
"This way."
The two followed Yuan Qi Long's steps deeper in, and soon discovered that the pink stalactites were emitting a faint glow.
Yuan Qi Long pointed, "It's here. The divine fire is inside the stalactites."
Yuan Bi Long was the first to step forward, drew his sword, and struck down! With a "clang!" his arm went numb, and he lost his grip on the sword, which fell to the ground.
Stunned, Yuan Bi Long looked at Yuan Qi Long in disbelief, "Lao Zu, this stone is tricky! It's repelling my magic."
Yuan Qi Long held his ancient sword, "Let me try."
"Huo!"
"Clang!..."
It could not be cut, nor could it be cleaved. Even Yuan Qi Long, at the twelfth level of the Divine Luo realm, was surprised.
These stalactites were hundreds of times harder than any he had seen before. Ming Zhi Tian said, "Let me try."
"Yu Lai!"
A wisp of yang flame slowly rose from the stalactite, which was indeed the divine fire!
Yuan Qi Long was extremely surprised, "The Martial Saint's Control Artifact Art? You... know the Control Artifact Art?"
Ming Zhi Tian was also surprised that Yuan Qi Long recognized the "Control Artifact Art." He quickly changed the subject, "Lao Zu, is this divine fire?"
Yuan Qi Long then looked at the yang flame, "It is indeed divine fire."
"Not good! It's going to run!" Yuan Bi Long shouted urgently.
