4350 Devouring
Gulp!
The whirlpool was a long and narrow passage. After Jian Wushuang plunged into the whirlpool, he continued to shoot forward. Gradually, he felt the surrounding lake water getting hotter and hotter. There was even a trace of fire in front of him!
After an unknown amount of time.
Pfft!
As if he had passed through the hyperthermal layer, Jian Wushuang instantly broke out of the water and was shocked by the scene in front of him.
After passing through the narrow passage, the field of vision in front of him suddenly widened. A huge furnace and fire pool appeared in front of him.
This smelting furnaces fire pool was at least 30000 meters in size and was hidden deep underground. Countless blood-red flames that were as viscous as water were constantly emerging and burning the void.
This...this is all Xiantian fourth fire Qi!
Jian Wushuang was overjoyed. He had only absorbed a finger-sized second wood Qi to awaken the ancient bronze cauldron. Then, he absorbed a fist-sized fourth fire Qi to further improve the cauldron.
But now, if this ocean-like innate fourth fire was completely absorbed by the ancient bronze cauldron, how much would it grow?
Jian Wushuangs eyes flickered and the ancient bronze cauldron in his interspatial ring shook violently like never before!
Scatter!
Jian Wushuang opened his right hand and made a grabbing motion at the smelting furnace and fire pool. In an instant, countless divine power gushed out from his hand and formed a huge sealed space in the innate fourth fire pool.
After that, Jian Wushuang stopped suppressing the cauldron and let it fly out of his Interspatial Ring.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the ancient bronze cauldron floated in the air and spun rapidly, letting out a few long howls.
In the next moment, the ancient bronze cauldron seemed to have turned into a monarch of fire. Like a whale sucking in water, countless connate fourth fire Qi rushed out of the pool and quickly poured into the ancient bronze cauldron!
One, two, three...
In the blink of an eye, countless Xiantian fourth fire Qi interwove with each other and came from all directions, with the ancient bronze cauldron as the center. He poured it into the ancient bronze cauldron!
They were densely packed, covering the sky and the sun, and were mighty!
Seeing this, Jian Wushuang blinked his eyes. The ancient bronze cauldron wouldnt absorb all the innate fourth fire Qi here, would it?
One had to know that this innate fourth fire Qi was the foundation of the Spirit Bristle Holy Lands cultivation.
Forget it, I dont care anymore.
Jian Wushuang shook his head and sat down with his legs crossed. He slowly closed his eyes and divine power gushed out of his arms to refine the ancient bronze cauldron.
Three years had passed.
Outside the innate fourth fire pool.
Ruler Feng Xin quietly sat there in the Lotus position, her brows slightly furrowed.
She sometimes lowered her head to look at the sealed innate fourth fire pond, and sometimes raised her head to look into the distance. There was a touch of anxiety on her face that could not be resolved.
Its been three years. Why hasnt Sir Buqi come out yet?
Ruler Feng Xin looked a little worried. It had been three years since Jian Wushuang had entered the innate fourth fire pool. During that time, she had not seen any trace of Jian Wushuang, but she could feel that the fourth fire Qi in the innate fourth fire pool was decreasing at a visible rate.
She couldnt help but feel nervous. If Jian Wushuang had only absorbed a little bit of innate fourth fire Qi, it wouldnt have mattered. She could have brought Jian Wushuang here and then left quietly without anyone noticing.
However, if Jian Wushuang absorbed too much, the result would be very different!
This innate fourth fire pool was the innate fourth fire Qi that the Spirit Bristle Holy Land had accumulated over tens of thousands of chaos cycles. Even as an elder of the Spirit Bristle Holy Land, she had to report to the sacred lands master if she wanted to use even a little bit of innate fourth fire Qi.
However, in the three years that she had been guarding the innate fourth fire pond, the innate fourth fire Qi that the innate fourth fire pond had consumed was the amount that the entire Spirit Bristle Holy Land had consumed for several chaos cycles!
With such a huge consumption, once the matter was exposed, even if she was crushed to death, she would not be able to bear the responsibility!
Just as she was feeling uneasy, she suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps behind her.
Who is it?
Ruler cherished heart instantly felt his heart clench.
Elder Feng Xin, its me. Sir Holy master sent me here to obtain some innate fourth fire Qi.
A boy with a gourd in his hand walked in.
When Ruler Feng Xin saw this, she couldnt help but relax. Fortunately, he was only a servant of the sacred Lord.
En, give me the gourd. You can just wait for me here.
Ruler Feng Xin said, pretending to be calm.
Alright, then Ill have to trouble you, Elder Feng Xin.
The small child grinned.
Its no trouble at all.
Ruler Feng Xin chuckled, then took the gourd and thrust it into a fist-sized hole. Instantly, an endless stream of fourth-flame Qi began to pour in, filling the gourd.
Seeing that everything was fine, the boy casually said, Elder Feng Xin, the Holy master wants to ask me something. Has anything happened to the innate fourth fire pool recently?
Ruler Feng Xins heart trembled when she heard this. She didnt turn her head and forced a smile. Im personally guarding this place, so what could possibly happen?
The child nodded, not noticing the change in her tone. He casually said, Elder Feng Xin, do you know where Elder Shu Mountain went? Recently, the Holy master has been looking for him, so hes been searching the entire Holy Land but hasnt seen him.
Oh? The Shu Mountain is gone?
Ruler Feng Xin raised an eyebrow.
Thats right. Speaking of which, Elder Shu Mountain has disappeared for quite some time now. Ever since you returned from your mission, everyone has only seen him once, and not once.
...Perhaps he went to find a place to cultivate in seclusion?
Ruler Feng Xins heart trembled. For some reason, she had a faint feeling that the news about Elder Shu Mountain had to do with Jian Wushuang.
It should be.
The boy didnt suspect anything. A few moments later, Feng Xin handed the gourd to the boy, who immediately thanked her and waved his hand.Elder Feng Xin, I wont stay here any longer, Sir Holy master is still waiting for the fourth fire Qi.
Take care, then I wont see you out.
A few moments later, the boy left, allowing Feng Xin to let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, she looked down at the sealed gate of the innate fourth fire pit again, more and more worry in her eyes.
There were still seven years left before the shift would start again. At that time, the decrease in the fourth fire Qi in the innate fourth fire pool would definitely be discovered.
In the blink of an eye, another seven years had passed.
Inside the innate fourth fire pool.
The Xiantian fourth fire Qi that was originally a vast ocean had already shrunk by a large degree. In ten years, the Xiantian fourth fire Qi in this Xiantian fourth fire pool had decreased by at least seventy percent!
The ancient bronze cauldron floated in the air like a giant Taotie, devouring large amounts of innate fourth fire Qi tirelessly!
