Chapter 278 The Man Who Played with Fire
So, this warrior risked his life, climbed over the Yanshan Mountain, crossed the Weowishui River, climbed to the top of Kunlun, and killed the monster guarding the immortal passage. Sneaked into the fairy world to steal fire and brought it to the human world.
Humans use fire to light up the night, drive away ghosts and monsters, and even learn the method of practice from the flames and gain extraordinary power.
However, the gods in the upper world soon discovered the warrior's move to steal fire.
So He immediately sent down thunder and struck the warrior to death.
At the same time, He also cut off the passage between the immortal world and the mortal world. From then on, no mortal could "smuggle" to the immortal world.
But the human race firmly remembers the kindness of this warrior.
They enshrined him on the altar and called him the "God of Fire".
To be honest, when Gu Xu first read this mythical story in the book, he just thought it was very outrageous - the god clearly had the power to directly kill warriors with thunder, so why did he Will the warrior be allowed to sneak into the immortal passage and steal the fire?
Of course, there is no need to consider rationality for things like "myths".
Gu Xu quickly noticed the biggest difference between the two mythological systems -
In the official Daqi mythological system, the gods headed by "God" are the benefactors of the human race;
But in the legend of the "God of Fire", the gods from the upper world play the role of villains.
In addition, because in the legend of the "God of Fire", the ancestors of the human race were all demoted immortals, so they once had powerful immortal blood in their bodies, but they were sealed after violating the rules of heaven.
However, there are some people with extraordinary talents who can awaken their former bloodline even after being relegated to the human world.
Gu Xu once vividly compared it to "atavism".
Youzhou Zhao's "Holy Fire Totem" can help them further activate their blood and master the power hidden deep in their bodies.
Zhao Yan is a lucky person who has successfully "returned to his ancestors".
Her physique is called the "Fire Spirit Body" in the clan. She is naturally close to flames and is not afraid of high temperatures.
After possessing the "Holy Fire Totem", she can even control the nearby flames and use them for her own use. At the same time, she can also use the flames to enhance the power of her marksmanship moves.
She came to this cave to practice today because she wanted to use the hot environment in the lava river to further strengthen her "holy fire totem".
However, during the practice, she vaguely noticed that the magma under her body seemed to be gathering in another direction.
Even if Zhao Yan drives the "Holy Fire Totem" and tries to gather the flames of the Earth River to her side, these flames still seem to be subject to a strong gravitational force, roaring, rolling, and rushing The earth moved away from her.
Zhao Yan frowned slightly.
As a direct descendant of the Zhao family in Youzhou, Zhao Yan has more knowledge than ordinary people and knows many secrets of the past.
She naturally knew that this was the sect relic of the "Longevity Sect", and also knew that this magma river did not exist naturally, but appeared after the founder of the "Longevity Sect" died here many years ago. .
According to the records in the family's secret information, the founder of the "Longevity Sect" was a monk in the "True King" realm. However, after he broke through the eighth realm, he did not go through the tribulation and ascend. He tried to pretend to be a god and gave himself a god named "Hui Lu". By showing "miracles" in front of mortals, he allowed mortals to enshrine him on the altar and burn incense to worship him.
Although the founder is dead.
But his realm of Tao continues to have an impact here, forming this never-ending magma river. Because of this, when an unexpected change occurred in the magma river, Zhao Yan's first reaction was: Could it be that the founder of the "Longevity Sect" left something unknown here?
So she opened her eyes and temporarily stopped practicing. She climbed onto the river bank with her spear and followed the direction of the magma flow, hoping to find out what was going on.
After walking dozens of meters, a huge vortex appeared in her field of vision -
The hot magma was rapidly rotating around a deeply sunken center point, which looked like It's a big, deep funnel. Orange-red flames swirled around it, rotating with the vortex wall in circles, and then collided at the bottom of the vortex, rising up with billowing heat and distorting Zhao Yan's vision.
The spear in Zhao Yan's hand is her natal weapon, called "Yizhangwei", and it is a top-grade magic weapon.
With the help of its power, Zhao Yan floated into the air and saw at a glance that in the deepest part of the whirlpool, there was a man in Tsing Yi sitting in meditation.
However, due to the restrictions placed around him, Zhao Yan could not clearly see the appearance of the man in Tsing Yi. He only felt that his face was blurry, as if it was covered by clouds and mist; she could not distinguish his face from his true energy aura. Cultivation realm.
“I thought it was the founder of the ‘Longevity Sect’ who left some strange treasures,” Zhao Yan curled her lips, snorted coldly, and thought to herself, “I didn’t expect someone to be here. Cultivation - and making such a big fuss, even refusing to reveal his true appearance... is really disappointing."
Zhao Yan has been practicing here for more than ten days.
As the legitimate daughter of the Zhao family, she has lived a pampered life since she was a child - in the Youzhou area, her status is even more noble than the Princess of Daqi.
In the past life, others have always given her way and given her convenience.
Deep down in her heart, she had long regarded this cave as a private retreat.
Now someone suddenly broke in, occupied her territory, and affected her practice, which undoubtedly made her unhappy.
It’s just that she can’t see through the cultivation level of this man in green——
He can create such a huge vortex in the magma river, so his strength must be extraordinary.
It shouldn’t be easy to drive him away.
However, Zhao Yan then thought again, no matter how strong this person was, there was no way he could compare to the saint. As long as you tell him "this lady is from the Zhao family" and give him some compensation, maybe he will be afraid of the power of the Zhao family and leave on his own.
So Zhao Yan floated directly above the whirlpool, looked down at the man in Tsing Yi at the bottom of the whirlpool, turned the spear in his hand carelessly, and said lightly: "This brother, I am Zhao Yan in Youzhou, ten I started practicing in this cave a few days ago, and now I have reached a critical stage. I cannot be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise there is a risk of going crazy. So, can you please choose another place to use elixirs or magic weapons? "Compensate for your losses."
Zhao Yan felt that her attitude was already very sincere.
However, the person in Tsing Yi under the whirlpool seemed not to hear her words at all.
He was still practicing attentively, reciting obscure scriptures softly.
This scripture seems to form a subtle echo with the environment of the cave.
The changes in light and shade of the flame are almost completely consistent with his changes in tone and frequency.
