Xia Houyuan, the leader of the Zizi Sect, one of the six strongest people in the Xuanling world, Chen Yu, needless to say, is now recognized as the leader of the human world in the world of immortality.
The confrontation between the two giants did not involve an earth-shattering release of energy or a powerful supernatural power, but it made several elders of Nan'an Zizi Sect, Xia Hou Gong, Xia Hou Ying and others shudder.
The world fell into a dead silence, as if time had stopped passing.
The wind, clouds, air, flowers, grass, ancient trees, rolling magma, including the bodies of several elders on the south bank and Xia Houyuan's son and daughter, were all stagnant, like stone statues.
It is unbelievable that even the few smoke coming out of the cigarette rod in Xia Houyuan's hand has solidified.
From a distance, this world looks like an ancient picture scroll slowly unfolding. All the details are vivid, but they are all "dead".
In just a few breaths, the edge of the bridge beneath Chen Yu and Xia Houyuan quietly turned into powder and dissipated without a trace, not even dust was left.
The entire ancient bridge seemed to be made of sand and was blown by strong winds and destroyed.
The towering ancient trees on both sides of the ancient road, at this moment, their dense leaves, curved branches, and thick trunks were also weathered.
Except for the solid ground beneath their feet, with Chen Yu and Xia Houyuan at the center, everything is included in the historical corridor.
"Alas!" Xia Houyuan's helpless sigh suddenly sounded in the world of silence.
The master of the Zi Zai Sect lowered his head and glanced at the pipe in his hand.
The long metal pipe evaporates completely like winter snow encountering the scorching summer sun.
In Chen Yu's hand, he twisted a green wicker.
Wicker... safe and sound!
Who is strong and who is weak? Let’s judge!
"You are better than your master, I am really old!"
Xia Houyuan's previously rosy complexion was now a little pale, "I'm getting increasingly confused about this world!"
"Green leaves and yellow flowers, the four seasons alternate, reincarnation is endless, old things remain unchanged and will always be replaced by new things. This is an eternal truth." Chen Yu smiled lightly.
The two men removed their pressure at the same time, and the world returned to its original state. The white clouds floated into the distance, and the breeze blew through the forest, rustling the leaves.
The hot magma surged and rolled again. The elders of Zizai Sect, Xia Hou Gong, and Xia Hou Yuan moved their stiff bodies, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
The burning ancient bridge disappeared, and large swaths of towering ancient trees disappeared. Only Chen Yu and Xia Houyuan remained seated. Although their feet were on the ground, there was no bridge edge under their buttocks, and they were empty.
…
Xia Houyuan had to agree even if he didn't agree. In the end, Chen Yu climbed to Baidian Mountain and stayed in a quiet courtyard.
The confrontation with Xia Houyuan at the foot of the mountain drained Chen Yu of a lot of energy. He locked himself in a house and swallowed a healing pill to recover as soon as possible.
In Baidian Mountain, the Main Hall, Xia Houyuan is sitting in the main seat. His back is stooped and his hands are in his sleeves. He is not like the master of the Zi Zi Sect who is powerful in the Xuanling world, but more like the little old man next door.
"Father, do you really want the demon surnamed Chen to enter the depths of Baidu Mountain?" Xia Houying and Liu Ye frowned.
Xia Hougong said in confusion: "Sister, didn't the demon surnamed Chen just borrow the boiling fire of our Burning Mountains to forge swords? What's wrong with that?" yyls
Xia Houying said in a deep voice: "You don't understand. The metal used by the devil named Chen to forge the sword is the two black and yellow beads passed down from generation to generation by the Holy Spirit Sect. Ordinary flames cannot be smelted at all."
"Although the boiling fire under our Baidu Mountain is one of the best in the Xuanling world, it is in danger of being exhausted once it is over-collected by the devil named Chen."
"If the fire that burns the mountains is extinguished, what will we use to forge the magic weapon?"
"The devil surnamed Chen is trying to destroy the foundation of my Zi Zi Sect!"
Xia Hou Gong didn't know the seriousness of Chen Yu's sword-making, but Xia Hou Ying and several elders couldn't understand it.
"Father, the bastard named Chen is sitting on top of us and lording it over us. Can we just swallow our anger?" Xia Hougong said excitedly.
Xia Houyuan glanced at Xia Hou Gong coldly and said: "If you are not convinced, you can go and fight with the casual cultivators named Chen. What's the use of shouting here?"
Xia Hou Gong choked on Xia Hou Yuan's words and became as silent as a cicada, daring not to say anything more.
"Have you asked clearly?" Xia Houyuan looked at the second elder Huang Cang.
Huang Cang's eyes were gloomy and he said: "Sect Master, I have asked the outer disciples, but Huang Zhan's body is gone. My brother's body was separated, and his headless body is still in the ancient city of Manghuang."
Xia Houyuan said without sadness or joy: "The great elder has dedicated his whole life for my Zizi Sect. There are merits and hard work. I ordered him to go down and give him a generous burial. As for Huang Zhan, set up a tomb with clothes and crowns!"
Huang Cang stood up from the chair, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Xia Houyuan, "Huang Cang is here, on behalf of my brother and nephew, thank you so much, Master!"
…
The sun was setting on the west mountain, and the sunset glow on the horizon was like burning blood. The sun was rising and falling. Xia Houyuan and Chen Yu walked along the bluestone path towards the depths of Baidian Mountain.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I have evacuated all the disciples who forged magical weapons. I hope you can seize the time." Xia Houyuan said in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you very much, Master Xiahou. I will definitely come out in as little as three days or as long as seven days." Chen Yu smiled slightly.
After a while, Chen Yu raised his head and looked ahead.
There is a man-made cave at the end of the trail. It is extremely deep and leads all the way to the belly of Baidian Mountain. From time to time, billowing heat waves spurt out from the entrance of the cave.
The Burning Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, with many peaks and mountains. Zizai Sect has dug a cave on each mountain specifically for forging magical weapons.
Baidu Mountain, as the main peak of the Burning Mountain Range, has extremely blazing underground fires and specializes in forging high-quality magic weapons.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, please!" Xia Houyuan made a gesture.
"Master Xiahou, I don't want to be disturbed until the sword is completed!" Chen Yu reminded him specifically.
No longer hesitating, under Xia Houyuan's gaze, Chen Yu stepped into the cave, and his back quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Huh!" A heavy cold snort came out of his throat, and Xia Houyuan rolled his sleeves and left.
Xia Houyuan was helpless. He only hoped that Chen Yu would not go too far. If the flames of the Burning Mountains were really extinguished, then the tens of thousands of Zizi Sect disciples would have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.
The cave tunnel is quite spacious, enough to accommodate five or six people walking side by side. The deeper you go, the more terrifying the air pressure becomes, and the heat wave surges in. If a mortal were here, they would have been overturned long ago.
After walking for more than a thousand meters, we finally reached the end, and the scene in front of us suddenly became clear.
An underground space is so big that you can't see the end from left to right. At this moment, Chen Yu is standing on a cliff, and there is a long river of magma flowing under the cliff.
It was so hot that even Chen Yu, who was at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, felt a little suffocated. The magma was surging like an earth dragon, with a mighty force.
Mortals in the secular world cannot stand here at all. They will be fainted by the heat and poison in an instant. In less than ten minutes, the flesh will be cooked inside and out.
