Chapter 183 The Ruins of the Burning Flame Sect (Please Subscribe!)

A human-shaped passage emerged from the spiritual spring where Qingyi was, and the spring water around the passage was pushed aside by a mysterious force.

The passage was deep and bottomless, and no one knew exactly where it led.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is the entrance to the Burning Flame Sect ruins. After you enter the Burning Flame Sect ruins, find Heavenly Fire Peak first. That is the main peak of the Burning Flame Sect, and the Burning Flame Sect's legacy is very likely to be on Heavenly Fire Peak!" Qing Yi said in a deep voice.

When Qingyi was born, the Burning Flame Sect had already been destroyed. All the information she knew came from her predecessors in the Spirit Clam Clan.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qingyi, for sharing this information with us!"

After thanking Qingyi, Lu Cheng'an didn't waste any more time and immediately led Shi Ningyu into the passage, speeding towards the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect.

The ruins of the Burning Flame Sect are buried deep within a lava river, which is the main reason why the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect have not been revealed to the world for so many years.

The large-scale volcanic eruption in the Burning Flame Mountains caused the earth's veins to shift again, raising the Burning Flame Sect ruins, which were originally buried deep in the mountains, to a higher level. This made it possible for the ruins, which had been buried for many years, to reappear in the world.

The Spirit Clam Clan was originally a spirit race raised by the Burning Flame Sect. They knew the Burning Flame Sect very well, so only Qing Yi, who was at the early stage of the third rank, could delay the appearance of the Burning Flame Sect ruins.

But it can only delay it; as time goes by, the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect will still reappear in the world.

Now that Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu have entered the Burning Flame Sect ruins ahead of time, they will be able to plunder the treasures hidden within the ruins ahead of schedule.

After flying for nearly a thousand feet, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu finally arrived at the end of the passage.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, be careful! The fiery aura here is extremely dense, almost showing signs of condensing into a powerful force!" Lu Cheng'an said in a deep voice.

The lava river only contains fiery energy, which is much weaker than the fiery aura.

The fire poison contained within the Fire Qi is also more potent. Golden Core cultivators can traverse through the Fire Qi, but if they enter the Fire Qi, they may encounter danger.

Lu Cheng'an stretched out his palm, and after absorbing a wisp of dense fire energy in front of him, he quickly formed a hand seal.

The wisp of fiery energy constantly changed shape in Lu Cheng'an's palm. After a moment, the wisp of fiery energy was divided into three forces.

These three forces are fire evil energy, fire elemental energy, and fire poison energy. This wisp of fire evil energy is formed by the condensation of these three forces.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you stripped away the power of the Fire Fiend Qi! How did you do that?!" Shi Ningyu exclaimed in surprise after seeing what Lu Cheng'an had done.

"This is a secret technique I've mastered!"

Lu Cheng'an chuckled softly and said, "Is Fellow Daoist Shi able to withstand the fiery aura here? If not, I can condense a fire spirit robe for you to resist the invasion of the fiery aura in the ruins!"

Lu Cheng'an did not tell Shi Ningyu the real reason, which was the fire control ability he possessed after his advancement to the Fire Virtue Body.

Whether it's fiery evil energy or fiery aura, it all belongs to fire, so he can control it.

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Lu!" Shi Ningyu said with a smile after glancing at the dense fire-evil energy ahead.

She can resist the invasion of the surrounding fiery energy, but this consumes a lot of her magical power.

They've only just entered the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect, and they've already encountered such fierce fire energy. Who knows what dangers lurk deep within the Burning Flame Mountains? She'd better conserve her magic power.

Lu Cheng'an quickly cast a spell, his internal magical power surged, and he condensed a wisp of Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire, which he then combined with his internal magical power into a single entity.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng'an cast a series of spells, and the magic power that had been refined with the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire gradually transformed into a light blue robe.

This robe was formed from Lu Cheng'an's magical power and the true fire of his golden core. It is not a real magical artifact. Its only function is to resist the invasion of various fire forces.

After handing the robe to Shi Ningyu, Lu Cheng'an's Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire surged within him, instantly spreading out and transforming into a fiery robe that enveloped her.

This flaming robe is entirely formed from the pure flames of the Heavenly Flame!

"Fellow Daoist Shi, let's venture deeper into the ruins of the Burning Flame Sect!"

After Lu Cheng'an condensed the Flame Robe into shape, he took the lead and entered the dense fire energy in front of him.

At this moment, flame runes surged within the Flame Robe, continuously absorbing the rich fire elemental energy contained within the surrounding fire-evil energy.

The Flame Robe is formed from pure Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire. As it rapidly absorbs the surrounding fire elemental energy, the power of the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire increases rapidly.

The Burning Flame Mountain Range ruins are extremely vast, filled with a dense aura of fire energy. In some areas, the fire energy has even condensed into fiery energy.

These fiery auras are extremely rare materials for refining magical artifacts, and they can be used to create all sorts of special types of magical weapons.

The fire energy within the Burning Flame Sect ruins is of extremely high quality; with just a little refinement, it can be transformed into third-tier refining materials.

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu had both recently broken through to the Golden Core realm, and their wealth was not particularly abundant. Therefore, upon seeing those high-quality fire auras, they collected them all.

These fiery auras also fall under the control of the Fire Virtue Treasure Body, making it very easy for Lu Cheng'an to collect them.

Time passed slowly, and six hours went by in the blink of an eye.

"This should be the location of the Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate!"

After Lu Cheng'an detected the broken giant peak ahead with his divine sense, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He and Shi Ningyu had been inside the Burning Flame Sect ruins for six hours. Because the ruins were filled with dense fire energy, their exploration was very slow.

Even so, he did not expect that they had not entered the Burning Flame Sect for the previous six hours.

"Be careful, I sense danger behind the mountain gate!" Shi Ningyu said in a deep voice, her face showing a solemn expression.

She and Lu Cheng'an had not encountered any danger in the previous six hours, but after arriving here, she had an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, follow behind me. We'll now enter the Burning Flame Sect's mountain gate!"

Lu Cheng'an nodded slightly. After carefully examining the area, he flew up, enveloped in the surrounding fiery aura, and quickly entered the broken giant peak.

Shi Ningyu followed closely behind the mountain. The moment the two landed on Jufeng Mountain, they suddenly saw several fiery red whip shadows fly out and whistle as they lashed at Lu Cheng'an and the other person.

"The Fire Cloud Gourd, a mid-stage Tier 3 gourd, has transformed into a demon!"

Lu Cheng'an shouted coldly, directly summoning the Mount Sumeru Seal and pressing it down on the main body of the Fiery Cloud Gourd. The Mount Sumeru Seal had already been refined by Lu Cheng'an, and now he was able to release the full power of this third-grade low-level magic weapon.

The Mount Sumeru Seal transformed into a hundred-zhang-tall giant peak, surrounded by floating white magnetic energy, and crashed into the main body of the Fire Cloud Gourd at an extremely high speed.

The Fiery Cloud Gourd is a third-tier spiritual plant. The Fiery Cloud Gourd it produces is not a spiritual medicine for alchemy, but a superior material for crafting third-tier magical artifacts.

Once the Fiery Cloud Gourd matures, it will generate Fiery Cloud True Qi. This power, after being refined by a third-tier weapon refiner, can be forged into an incomparably sharp Fiery Cloud Magic Sword.

The longer the Fire Cloud Magic Sword is nurtured by the Fire Cloud Gourd, the stronger its power becomes.

Perhaps due to the unique environment within the Burning Flame Sect ruins, this mid-grade third-tier Fire Cloud Gourd transformed into a third-tier demon beast, albeit one devoid of any intelligence!
This is because the fiery aura within the ruins is too dense. Not to mention the demonic beasts that the Fire Cloud Gourd transforms into in such an environment, even a normal human Golden Core cultivator would have their intelligence destroyed by the dense fiery aura if they lived in such an environment for a long time.

Although the Fire Cloud Gourd is of a high grade of mid-level third rank, its strength is not comparable to that of a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

As Mount Sumeru Seal pressed down, the Fiery Cloud Gourd immediately sensed a deadly danger. It retracted all its vines and did its best to resist the attack of Mount Sumeru Seal.

At this moment, two fiery red gourds burst forth from the pervasive fiery aura. After the gourd mouths burst open, eight strands of golden-red energy whistled out and attacked Lu Cheng'an.

These two gourds are the Fire Cloud Gourds that grew from the Fire Cloud Gourd Vine that has transformed into a demon, and they are both of mid-grade third rank.

The eight strands of golden-red energy are the true fire cloud energy condensed in the Fire Cloud Gourd. As the Fire Cloud Gourd vine transforms into a demon, the power of these eight strands of fire cloud energy becomes even stronger.

If it were to be forged into the Fiery Cloud Sword, it might be able to severely injure a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm!
Lu Cheng'an let out a cold shout and made a hand seal. In an instant, four crimson-gold seals condensed.

The seal surged with crimson-gold light, instantly transforming into four three-legged golden crows, each about ten feet in size.

The golden crows cried out, and the surrounding fiery energy frantically converged into their bodies, continuously strengthening their power.

A moment later, the four golden crows and the eight strands of fiery cloud energy collided violently.

After a brief stalemate between the two forces, the eight strands of fiery cloud energy and the four golden crows dissipated simultaneously.

The Golden Crow was formed from the Golden Crow Seal, a second-tier spell cultivated by Lu Cheng'an. With the advancement of his Fire Virtue Spirit Body and the improvement of Lu Cheng'an's cultivation, the power of this second-tier spell also doubled.

Moreover, the environment here is quite special, filled with a strong fiery aura, which will greatly enhance Lu Cheng'an's combat power.

After the eight strands of fiery cloud true energy dissipated, they returned to the two fiery cloud gourds on their own.

Lu Cheng'an stretched out his palm, and the surrounding fiery energy surged, condensing into a huge fiery palm print that instantly enveloped the two fiery cloud gourds.

This is another second-tier technique he has cultivated, the Fiery Void-Burning Palm. The power of this technique increases even more in an environment like the Burning Flame Sect ruins.

The Fire Cloud Gourd Vine tried its best to retrieve the Fire Cloud Gourd it had summoned, but at that moment a jade-colored magic sword flew out and slashed at the vines that were struggling to resist the pressure of the Mount Sumeru Seal.

This jade-colored magic sword was the Jade Sky Sword, which was summoned by Shi Ningyu. The Jade Sky Sword's killing power was even stronger than that of the Mount Sumeru Seal.

The vines of the Fiery Cloud Gourd were severed in an instant upon encountering the Jade Cloud Sword.

At this moment, the power of Mount Sumeru Seal increased once again, pressing down completely and crushing the main body of the Fire Cloud Gourd Vine.

A moment later, Lu Cheng'an retrieved the Mount Sumeru Seal, and with a wave of his hand, the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire spread out, instantly enveloping the shattered Fire Cloud Gourd Vine.

The Fire Cloud Gourd Vine is of the middle grade of the third rank. Its body contains rich fire elemental energy, and the quality of this fire elemental energy is extremely high.

After refining these fire elements, the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire can rapidly increase its power.

While controlling the Pure Glazed Heavenly Fire to refine those fire elements, Lu Cheng'an took two mid-grade third-tier Fire Cloud Gourds into his hands.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, let's each take one of these two mid-grade third-tier Fire Cloud Gourds!" Lu Cheng'an said with a smile.

These two mid-grade third-tier Fire Cloud Gourds can be easily refined into two mid-grade third-tier magic artifacts, which are extremely valuable.

Shi Ningyu didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Cheng'an and directly put away one of the Fire Cloud Gourds.

After refining the fire elemental energy left by the Fire Cloud Gourd Vine, Lu Cheng'an did not waste any time and quickly headed towards Tianyan Peak, the main peak of the Burning Flame Sect.

The internal layout of the Burning Flame Sect has not changed much; Heavenly Flame Peak remains in its original location.

However, the entire Burning Flame Sect ruins were covered by fiery energy, and all the spiritual peaks of the Burning Flame Sect were in a broken state, making it very difficult for Lu Cheng'an and his companion to determine their direction.

Moreover, the ruins were tainted by the fiery energy, and the rocks, plants, and trees all transformed into powerful demonic beasts.

Some of the monsters were of the highest rank, the third tier, so even Lu Cheng'an and his companion didn't dare to openly provoke them.

Fortunately, although these monsters were extremely powerful, they were basically devoid of intelligence, making it relatively easy for Lu Cheng'an and his companion to avoid them.

Time passed slowly, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu finally found the main peak of the Burning Flame Sect, Tianyan Peak.

"This main hall is a fourth-tier magical artifact!"

Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu's gazes fell upon the dark golden hall above Tianyan Peak, which was covered with layers of profound runes.

The light emanating from the rune array shone brightly, revealing various strange phenomena and resisting the impact of the surrounding fiery energy.

However, many of these talisman arrays have collapsed, and a large amount of fiery energy has seeped into the main hall.

"The treasures of the Burning Flame Sect must be in this hall. Let's go in and take a look!" Shi Ningyu's face showed an excited smile as she flew towards the hall above Tianyan Peak.

Just then, two five-colored streaks of light shot out from the main hall, instantly enveloping Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu and pulling them directly into the dark gold hall.

The power of the five-colored light was too overwhelming. Even though Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu were now Golden Core cultivators, they still had no ability to resist the five-colored light.

After the five-colored light dissipated, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu entered the interior of the dark gold hall.

The interior of the dark gold hall was extremely spacious. There should have been a large number of treasures inside, but perhaps due to the passage of time, most of the treasures inside had been destroyed.
