The Divine Flame Cave is a wonderful sight on a majestic ancient mountain in the southwest of Qingcang.
This cave has flames gushing out all year round, like magma meteors, with magnificent waves.
However, when these flames rose into the void, they were restrained by a magical force and fell down, like a magma waterfall, often attracting the attention of outsiders.
However, only the people here know that there is an extremely terrifying demon sealed in this divine cave. It is rumored that it comes from the nine heavens and was the protagonist in the war between gods and demons.
And among the mountain peaks, you can vaguely see the ancient palaces hidden in the clouds, with the rays of light overflowing and the Taoism in full bloom.
This is where one of the seven major temples, the Demon-Slaying Palace, is located.
Different from ordinary temples, this temple has no boundaries and always guards the mountains. It takes slaying demons as its own duty and has fulfilled its responsibilities for thousands of years.
Therefore, it is also called the Demon Suppressing Palace and the Demon Slaying Palace.
At this time, in a small and unique courtyard in the mountains, a pale young man was holding an ancient book and reading it with gusto.
The young man looks four or five hundred years old, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyebrows. He looks extraordinary.
But, for some reason, there was no strong spiritual power fluctuation in his body at this time, but he was extremely weak.
Beside him, there is a beautiful girl, dressed simply, making tea and burning incense, and serving her carefully.
"Sir, the tea is ready."
"Um."
Without even looking at the girl, the young man reached out to take the tea bowl, took a sip, and still looked at the ancient scroll in his hand seriously.
"Sir, there are only three days until the Demon-Slaying Scripture."
"Oh? So fast?"
Hearing this, the young man raised his head in surprise and looked outside the courtyard. There was a strange flash of red in his originally plain eyes.
There, he saw a rough-looking middle-aged man in civilian clothes walking slowly, and soon he was in front of him.
"Yunfei, how are you feeling lately?"
"Father."
He Yunfei quickly stood up and bowed.
"There is no need to be polite. I am here today to tell you that in three days, your two sisters will accept the inheritance of the temple. Then...if you have time, come over together."
The middle-aged Buyi is the master of the Demon-Slaying Palace, and He Erhe is also a famous and powerful man in Qingcang.
The young man in front of him is his adopted son, He Yunfei.
Back then, He Erhe strayed into a magical place and accidentally met the young He Yunfei. He rescued him and adopted him as his adopted son to teach him.
Unexpectedly, this young man was so gifted that he entered the realm of venerable beings at the age of 100. At the age of 300, he would become a saint.
However, He Yunfei has always been obsessed with his own life experience, so despite He Erhe's objections, he went to that magical place alone. As a result, he was trapped there for seventy years. When he came back, he was already the same as he is today.
He Yunfei has always kept silent about this past.
And the monsters of the past have become trash now.
"I'm so happy for my two sisters."
Two graceful figures suddenly appeared in front of He Yunfei's eyes.
Although!!
He and He Yanyun have no blood relationship, but his two sisters have taken good care of him since he was a child and never regarded him as an outsider.
In fact, if he had not accidentally lost his cultivation, the position of the successor of the Demon-Slaying Palace would probably have fallen to him.
Even now, the two sisters have never looked down upon him because he has become a waste. They often come to take care of him and tell interesting stories.
Especially the second sister, who has a cheerful personality, will amuse herself with some weird stuff almost every two or three days.
He has deep feelings for the Demon Slaying Hall, the He family, his father and daughter, and He Yunfei.
Therefore, he is really happy that his two sisters have been passed down and he is not jealous at all.
"Yunfei...hey..."
He Erhe hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh.
In his heart, He Yunfei is indeed the best choice to be the successor of Demon Killing Palace.
He didn't know what exactly happened in those seventy years, but he just felt extremely sorry.
"I know what my father is sighing about. Don't worry, father, I'm fine. Maybe my body will recover after a while."
He Yunfei smiled brightly and did not look discouraged at all.
But the more this happened, the more heartache He Erhe felt.
"Your sister sent a message saying that the young master of the Ling clan, Ling Xiao, will come to my Demon Slaying Palace. When the Holy Scripture is opened, you should come too."
After finishing speaking, He Erhe said no more, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Ever since He Yunfei lost his cultivation, he moved away from the Demon-Slaying Palace and lived alone on this lonely peak.
Apart from a maid who takes personal care of him, there are no other servants.
"Young Master of the Ling Clan?"
He Yunfei frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking deeply.
"Young Master! This young master has been in the limelight recently! It is said that he received an edict from the Human Emperor and was named the Emperor of the Human Race. He is the best in the world."
The little maid dressed in plain clothes was in high spirits, and she obviously admired the young master of the Ling clan very much.
"Oh? Qing Cang is the best?"
He Yunfei's face was inexplicably gloomy. The Demon-Slaying Holy Ceremony is the most solemn ceremony in the Demon-Slaying Palace, and outsiders are not allowed to participate at all.
Why did the two sisters invite a stranger this time?
More importantly, the Seven Great Temples can be said to be completely opposite to the Ling Clan.
What the two sisters did was not appropriate.
"Sir, what's wrong with you..."
"I'm fine, you can go down."
He Yunfei waved his hand impatiently, feeling an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
It wasn't until the figure of the maid in plain clothes walked away that a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes, completely different from the weak and gentle one before.
"What's wrong? Are you angry? Boy, I've told you a long time ago that with your talent, as long as you are willing to accept me and the two of us merge, we can completely become the true Lord of Fire. What do you have to hesitate about?
of?"
At this moment, an eerie and joking voice suddenly came from He Yunfei's soul.
"If I don't accept you, you will be fused with me soon."
Hearing this, there was no trace of emotion on He Yunfei's face, and his tone was calm and authentic.
"You!!! Boy, do you really think you can completely obliterate me with your strength? I won't let you succeed in your dreams!!"
"Really? Then let's... let's see."
He Yunfei shook his head and smiled, looking into the sky.
Over the years, the reason why he has been hiding from the world is precisely because such an evil thing has been integrated into his body.
This object is called the divine fire Dao embryo, and it is supposed to be the bell spirit of heaven and earth.
But unfortunately, the place where it appeared was in the land of ten thousand demons, so it was contaminated with a ray of demonic intent.
When He Yunfei broke into the Demonic Land, he accidentally discovered this evil embryo. He was shocked and tried to fuse it with it.
Who would have thought that this evil embryo had actually given birth to a spiritual intelligence, and instead wanted to take the opportunity to seize his body.
The two fought for decades, and finally He Yunfei used his spiritual power as a guide and the Demon-Slaying Palace's supreme magical power to suppress the demon seal as a contract to seal the evil embryo in the sea of dan.
In this way, every ounce of spiritual power he has cultivated will be swallowed up by this evil embryo.
However, under the power of the demon-suppressing seal, the remaining evil spirit is also gradually weakening.
I'm afraid it won't be long before this evil embryo will be completely purified.
And He Yunfei will also become the real...Lord of All Fires!
