Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Shenxuan Island, Shenxuan Fire Tree Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Shenxuan Island, Shenxuan Fire Tree When Ye Qiubai inquired about the two materials,
the sect leader of the Green Wood Sect was also startled. Except for the God Emperor-level Shenxuan Fire Soul being a bit lower than the Sky Gang Hui Ming Wood, the Celestial Heart Core was only higher and not lower.
After a moment of stunned reflection, Lei Feng recalled and then said, “The Celestial Heart Core is too rare. I’ve heard of it but never seen it. However, I do have some clues about the Shenxuan Fire Soul. It grows at the top of the Shenxuan Fire Tree, but obtaining it is extremely difficult. If you’re not proficient in the Fire Dao Law… It’s not just about being proficient; without reaching a certain height, one cannot climb to the peak.”
Hearing this, Ye Qiubai was taken aback.
Fire Dao Law…
Could it be that Grandpa Medicine already knew he was going to the Shenxuan Fire Tree?
That’s why he was instructed to comprehend the Flame Origin power.
Ye Qiubai immediately took out a map, pointing to the location marked for the Shenxuan Fire Soul, and asked, “Senior, is it in this area?”
Seeing this, Lei Feng looked and nodded, “That’s right. It’s on Shenxuan Island, at the very center, where nine volcanoes surround the place where the Shenxuan Fire Tree is located.”
“However, if you want to go, you must be very careful. Currently, the only power on Shenxuan Island is the Shenxuan Fire Sect. It has already split internally into nine major forces, each occupying a volcano, with their goal being to monopolize the Shenxuan Fire Tree.”
“The power of the Shenxuan Fire Sect is also extremely strong, stronger and not weaker than our Green Wood Sect.”
“Also, the fire poison on Shenxuan Island is extremely severe. If you haven’t cultivated one of the paths of fire, then…”
Ye Qiubai waved his hand, and a flame swirled out from his palm.
Feeling its power, Lei Feng and the sect leader of the Green Wood Sect were both shocked.
“Origin… origin power?!”
Ye Qiubai retracted the Ash Fire, smiling as he bowed with his hands clasped, “Thank you both, seniors. I, Ye Qiubai, will remember this kindness.”
With that, he turned and left.
Watching Ye Qiubai’s retreating figure, the Green Wood Sect leader remarked with emotion, “Now I truly believe what Grandpa Medicine said. His realm may be only at the Intermediate Stage of the Ancestral Realm, but he has already stepped into the domain of the Flame Origin power, and in terms of the Sword Dao… His future, I’m afraid, could stand at the pinnacle of the Chaos Realm.”
Lei Feng was also extremely excited, “When this child reaches the peak, our Green Wood Sect will soar to the heavens!”
“Let’s hope that day comes sooner rather than later.”
“But Ancestor…”
Lei Feng, still lost in grand imaginings, replied absently, “What’s wrong?”
The Green Wood Sect leader pointed towards the departing figure of Ye Qiubai, “Shouldn’t we give him a token or something? Otherwise, what if we can’t find him later or don’t have the qualifications to meet him?”
These words immediately pulled Lei Feng from his fantasy to reality, whereupon he disappeared on the spot.
From far away, Lei Feng’s loud shout could be heard, “Little Friend Ye, wait! Could you leave some kind of token?”
The sect leader of the Green Wood Sect helplessly covered his face.
Although it was for the sake of the sect, why did it feel a bit embarrassing?
…
In two days’ time.
Ye Qiubai had already arrived at Shenxuan Island.
As Lei Feng had said, the fire poison within Shenxuan Island was exceedingly serious.
The fire poison had permeated the air; looking around, the entire Shenxuan Island was shrouded in a layer of fiery red mist.
An outsider stepping into this place would likely be unable to survive for more than seven days without comprehending the Fire Dao Law, as they’d be corroded to death by the fire poison.
No wonder there were no guards on Shenxuan Island.
Here, there were no lush green trees like at the Green Wood Sect.
At a glance, the surroundings were filled with plains, and the plains bore traces of lava flow, a bleak grey and black.
Only near the center, there stood nine volcanoes that soared into the sky.
Volcanic craters spewed copious amounts of fire poison.
Shenxuan Island’s prevalence of fire poison was probably due to these nine volcanoes.
Passing through the dense fire poison, in the center encircled by the nine volcanoes, there loomed a towering fire tree, blazing fiercely as it pierced the sky and soared into the clouds.
It dyed the sky above Shenxuan Island a thorough crimson!
Even the cloud layer was aflame with roaring fires!
It had to be said that each island on the Qingming Continent had its own distinct features.
At that time, Ye Qiubai had thought that under such unique conditions of the Qingming Continent, the cultivators would generally adhere to The Water Dao Law, yet unexpectedly, there also existed sects that followed the Fire Dao Law.
However… according to Lei Feng’s words, to approach the Shenxuan Fire Tree, it seemed he would have to join one of the branches of the Shenxuan Sect, or else he feared he wouldn’t even be able to get close.
The strength of the Ancestor of Green Wood Sect was at the God Emperor level.
If the Shenxuan Sect was any stronger, they would likely have Demigod powerhouses, which, for Ye Qiubai at present, were impossible to forcibly breach.
Thus, he had to choose to join a branch first to have any chance of getting close.
With this in mind,
Ye Qiubai walked towards the volcano closest to him.
Since he wasn’t familiar with the sect, it didn’t matter whether it was strong or weak; he would join first and deal with the rest later.
When he arrived at the base of the volcano,
there were no houses, only a series of cave openings at the foot and halfway up the volcano.
People constantly entered and exited these caves.
It seemed someone had noticed Ye Qiubai’s presence.
Immediately, a dozen people surrounded him.
These individuals were all bare-armed, with only the women wearing a piece of animal skin armor that was very revealing, covering only the most vital parts, exposing the upper halves of their ruddy, wheat-colored breasts to the toxic fumes.
“Which branch are you from? You dare to come to our Black Fire lineage!”
The strength of these people was not to be underestimated, as they were all at the Divine Emperor level, with the leader being a cultivator in the half-step Divine God Realm.
Ye Qiubai waved his hand and said, “I am not from your Shenxuan Sect.”
“Huh?” The leading woman frowned slightly and demanded coldly, “What’s this joke? How can an outsider survive the fire poison here without the protection of our Shenxuan Sect’s Divine Fire Pill?”
Ye Qiubai extended his hand and did not reveal his origin power, but he did show an exceptionally strong affinity for the Fire Dao Law.
Seeing this, Huo Shuyun was taken aback for a moment, “Who are you, senior?”
This intensity of the Fire Dao Law was much stronger than hers!
Ye Qiubai smiled and responded, “I am here for a trial, but having heard about the uniqueness of Shenxuan Island, I figured it would be more convenient to join one faction to enable me to stay for some time.”
Huo Shuyun furrowed her brow and said, “Stay? Although you are strong, during this special period, do you think you can just join if you wish?”
Ye Qiubai understood and spread his hands, “Whatever the trial, bring it on.”
After conversing in whispers with the people beside her, Huo Shuyun said, “Wait here, I will go and seek guidance.”
In only the time it took for an incense stick to burn,
Huo Shuyun returned accompanied by a muscular man.
“Since you wish to join our Black Fire lineage, to prevent you from being a spy from another branch, we will set three trials for you.”
“The trials may be lethal, do you still wish to join?”
Ye Qiubai nodded without hesitation: “Let’s begin.”
