() Fifty miles to the northwest of Roulan City, we crossed the swamp on the edge of the lake and entered the rolling mountains. After walking on the narrow and rugged mountain road for about half an hour, a huge mountain towering into the clouds suddenly appeared in front of us.
Xuantian Peak!
This is the highest and most famous mountain in the entire Xihai Prefecture. It is regarded as a sacred mountain by hundreds of millions of people from the grassland tribes. It is also a very important place at the gate of the Beiming Sect.
Seen from a distance, the mountains are tens of thousands of feet high. The lower part of the mountains is covered by a large area of dense forest. The upper part of the mountains is covered with clouds and mist and is covered with white snow. It is so majestic and magnificent that people are amazed...
It is said that there are many caves on the Xuantian Peak, where the secluded masters of the Beiming Sect go into seclusion and practice hard. Under normal circumstances, even the inner disciples of the sect are not allowed to go up the mountain, and outsiders are strictly prohibited from approaching.
But today, Qin Yun, together with two other battle masters, set foot on the stone path leading to the peak under the guidance of an elder from the Beiming Sect.
This is a unique reward for the champion of the three major battles of the Xihai Martial Arts Association. Go to the top of Xuantian Peak to collect the Sun Fire.
The Sun Jinghuo is one of the extremely precious fire-attribute evil fires. It only appeared in Xuantian Peak for only three days, and its number is also very rare. If it were not for the purpose of attracting various sects to participate in the Xihai Martial Arts Tournament, Beiming Sect would not have existed at all.
I won't take it out as a reward.
The champion of the three battles, Qin Yun, won the second battle. The champion of the first battle was taken by the sword cultivator of Beiming Sect. The champion of the third battle was won by a warrior of Yangming Sect...
In the previous Xihai Martial Arts Tournament, Beiming Sect used the advantage of home field and various tactics to win two or even all the championships, preventing their own wealth from falling into the fields of outsiders. Like this time, it was equally divided among three families.
The situation is very rare.
Maybe it was because of this. The Beiming Sect elder who led the way didn't seem to be in a very good mood. He stopped before reaching the top and said lightly to the three of them: "You go up the rest of the way by yourselves, and it's less than half way up.
In an hour, the heavenly fire will descend on the rooftop, and you will only have half a stick of incense to collect."
"Remember that Tianhuo is ruthless and determined by life and death. All your gains and losses have nothing to do with Beiming Sect!"
Sky fire is the sun's spiritual fire. It is naturally very dangerous to collect and refine such evil fire. If you are not careful at least, you may become possessed by evil spirits, or you may be burned by the flames. This elder of the Beiming Sect is both warning and dissociating.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and went down the mountain without giving the three of them a chance to ask.
The Beiming Sect sword cultivator didn't care at all. He was obviously confident and continued to move forward.
Qin Yun and the Yangming Cult warrior looked at each other and followed them in a tacit understanding.
The Sun Jinghuo is extremely precious. If it can be successfully refined into the Dantian, it will be extremely beneficial to breaking through the Transformation Gang in the future, so even if it is very dangerous, it is definitely worth taking the risk.
Since there was not much time left, the three of them all sped up. The white-clothed sword cultivator from Beiming Sect took the lead and rushed to the front. Qin Yun followed him with a distance of more than ten steps, while the Yangming Sect warriors fell behind.
At last.
The sword cultivator of Beiming Sect seemed to want to show off his speed. His figure was like an arrow flying across the stone steps, almost without touching the ground, and he was left behind hundreds of steps in an instant.
But no matter how fast he accelerated, Qin Yun could always follow him, with a distance of no more than twenty steps.
In comparison, the green-armored warrior from the Yangming Sect was far behind. In just a moment, he was pulled down a long distance, and he was almost invisible.
Qin Yun was like a maggot attached to a bone and couldn't be shaken off. This made the swordsman in white feel extremely unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
It took almost as long as a stick of incense to reach the peak.
You will be at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the mountains!
Standing on the top of Xuantian Peak, you are surrounded by a sea of rolling clouds. A golden sun above your head shines brightly on the clouds, forming a colorful rainbow, creating a magnificent scene.
The strong wind was howling, and the top of the mountain covered with ice and snow and the bottom of the mountain were two completely different worlds!
The top of Xuantian Peak is not very large, only about a hundred feet square. In the middle stands a stone platform five to six feet high. There are nine thick dragon stone pillars around the stone platform.
Whether it is a stone platform or a stone pillar, it seems that they have experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, and the surface is mottled and green-grey, giving people an extremely simple and desolate feeling, as if they have been here since ancient times.
The sword cultivator in white clothes stood next to the rooftop, standing proudly overlooking the sea of clouds and paying no attention to Qin Yun.
Of course, Qin Yun would not ask for trouble by getting involved. His eyes were always lingering on the rooftop and the Panlong Stone Pillar to observe.
From the moment he stepped onto the top of the mountain, Qin Yun had a vague feeling of being spied on. This feeling was extremely secretive and unpredictable. If he hadn't turned on the wisdom of the heart out of caution, it would have been difficult to detect.
This made him wary, remembering Zuo Ci's instructions to him before leaving.
Xuantian Peak is the training ground for the powerful and reclusive masters of the Beiming Sect. It is impossible to climb to the rooftop without the protection of experts. Although he collects sun essences in an upright manner, he cannot act recklessly to show off, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
After a while, the green-armored warriors from the Yangming Sect who had fallen behind also arrived at the top of the mountain.
He looked at Qin Yun and the sword cultivator in white and stood aside in silence.
The three of them waited quietly.
After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the fiery sun rose to the top of the headspace.
At this time, the howling wind stopped, and the scorching sunshine shone straight on the peak. The ice and snow on the ground melted rapidly, and the flames spread everywhere, making the surrounding air hot.
The Panlong stone pillars surrounding the rooftop platform glowed with dazzling light, as if they were coated with a layer of gold foil.
Qin Yun immediately understood that the time for the Sun Jinghuo to appear was coming, but the corner of his eye was always staring at the sword cultivator in white, and he would never take action if the opponent did not move.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Suddenly, clusters of crimson flames appeared in the sky. They were like blooming fire lotuses, emitting a dazzling light, and fell to the rooftop one after another.
The fire power in the surrounding space suddenly became surging, making people feel as if they were in an earthly fire purgatory!
Sun Jinghuo!
Qin Yun felt his blood boiling, and a voice in his heart told him to rush forward immediately.
Because the number of solar energy is limited and it does not appear for a long time, once you miss it, you will not have another chance.
The most important thing is that the limited solar energy must be shared by three people, or more accurately, they compete for it. How much you can collect depends entirely on your own ability!
But Qin Yun forcefully suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Because the white-clothed sword cultivator from Beiming Sect has not moved yet, he believes that the other party must have a reason. Who else can understand the characteristics of Sun Jinghuo better than the disciples of Beiming Sect?
However, Qin Yun didn't move, but the green-armored warrior from Yangming Sect couldn't help it.
His cultivation level is the lowest among the three, and his ability to collect and refine sun essence fire is definitely not as good as Qin Yun and Baiyi Jianxiu. If he can't get the upper hand, he will definitely suffer a big loss.
The Sun Jinghuo can only exist for a stick of incense, and it will pass soon. He attaches great importance to this opportunity, otherwise he would not have fought tooth and nail to win the championship of the third round. How could he have just watched it?
Watching the sun and the fire appear without any action?
Therefore, the green-armored warrior didn't care about Qin Yun and the sword cultivator in white, nor did he care whether there was any danger. He suddenly took a big step and ran forward for seven or eight steps. When he was about to approach the rooftop, he suddenly jumped up high.
He threw himself towards the top of the stone platform.
The white-robed swordsman remained motionless, but Qin Yun noticed a sarcastic smile on his lips.
The green-armored warrior landed steadily on the platform. When he saw the fire lotus floating in the air in front of him, his eyes showed an extremely excited look. He couldn't help but reach out towards the fire lotus closest to him.
The lotus stretches out, ready to circulate the true energy to draw it into the body.
Phew! Phew!
But what he never expected was that before his fingers touched the lotus petals, five or six fire lotuses condensed from the sun's essence flew towards him all at once!
The green-armored warrior was immediately frightened. With his strength and cultivation, it was difficult for him to deal with a ball of sun essence fire. How could he withstand the attack of five or six fire lotuses? His mind was suddenly in chaos.
However, as a champion in the battle arena, the green-armored warrior's reaction ability was also extremely fast. He jumped back without hesitation, intending to avoid the incoming sun fire.
His movement speed was not slow at all, but several balls of sun essence fire chased after him like maggots attached to bones, and instantly attached themselves to his body. The extremely hot flames immediately burned through the body's protective energy!
"ah!"
The green-armored warrior screamed, falling from the sky like a kite with its string broken, and fell heavily onto the hard rock, immediately stirring up countless stone dust.
His whole body was surrounded by red flames, which could not be extinguished even if he rolled on the ground. He was about to be burned alive!
"Hey!"
The swordsman in white sneered, looked at Qin Yun and said: "You are smart, not as ignorant as him, but the best spirit is destined to be mine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately used Qinggong and body skills to rush towards the rooftop, not paying any attention to the green-armored warrior who was still struggling and screaming on the ground.
The Sun Jinghuo can only last for the duration of a stick of incense. How could the swordsman in white waste precious time just to save his competitor? He even thought that Qin Yun would definitely compete with him.
But Qin Yun did not go up in the same way. He hesitated and walked towards the green-armored warrior.
Looking at the green-armored warrior still rolling on the ground, he said in a deep voice: "Don't move, I will find a way to save you!"
Although the green-armored warrior was almost cooked by the sun's jade fire, he was still conscious. After hearing Qin Yun's words, he endured the tremendous pain of being burned by the flames and lay motionless on the ground.
Qin Yunli reached out and put his hand on the flame. (To be continued.)
