For a month!
Qin Li was trapped in a fire prison.
He was optimistic and calm.
After thoroughly absorbing the experience of the Plum Blossom Sword Scripture, his cultivation had advanced all the way to the top, eventually getting stuck at the peak of Immortal King Fourth Grade.
Compared to before, Qin Li’s battle prowess had increased a lot, but there was still a huge gap between him and Immortal King Ao Long, and if he wanted to defeat the other party, he would have to advance to Immortal King Fifth Grade. Besides, the biggest trouble now was how to leave the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.
Da da da!
A series of footsteps came.
Qin Li ended his cultivation and opened his eyes.
“Gold, have you been doing well?”Yun Shiyu rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing her red eyes and haggard face, Qin Li understood that a lot had happened in the past month, “Don’t worry, I’m fine, the temperature of this place is frightening, but to me, it’s just a bubble bath.”
“You are calm.”Lian Chengyu said.
Qin Li smiled, “I’m bound to die anyway, there’s nothing wrong with dying calmly.”
Lian Chengyu nodded, “Whether it’s your qualifications or your heart, you’re an overwhelming existence, it’s just a pity that you came to the wrong place at the wrong time, and you’re also destined for certain death!”
After saying that, he raised his hand and made a move, the purple-gold chains loosened and flew back into his sleeve.
Then, Lian Chengyu turned around and left!
“Letting me go just like that?”
Qin Li was a bit puzzled and puzzled.
Yun Shiyu cried, “Gold, I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to save you. They merely changed a cage for you, from the Fire Prison to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, allowing you to move freely in the mountain range.”
Qin Li came to a sudden realisation, no wonder he had felt a cold chill on his back since just now, as if a pair of eyes were watching him. It seemed that it was the Cloud Que Palace Master who had listed himself as a key target of care.
“Don’t cry, it won’t look good if you cry your face off!”Qin Li reached out his hand and wiped away Yun Shiyu’s tears.
Yun Shiyu’s holds back her tears and blames herself, “It’s all my fault, if I had known this, I would have sent you to the Northern Region, or the Western Region.”
“You don’t need to blame yourself, I’m fine.”Qin Li smiled, “By the way, after coming to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range for a long time, I haven’t even wandered around, so you’ll be my tour guide.”
“Mm!”Yun Shiyu forced down her sadness and tried her best to reveal a smile.
The two of them exited the fire prison!
Qin Li raised his head and was shocked.
The original Floating Cloud Mountain Range was filled with rolling hills and dazzling clouds.
But now the scenery has drastically changed, in the sky, red clouds, a red haze fills the sky, the golden sun half-shading the clouds, even more gorgeous, there are a dozen rainbows spanning the sky, fantastically flamboyant.
“Could it be that this is the Heavenly Fire Signs!”Qin Li marvelled.
Yun Shiyu explained, “When spring begins next year, the spiritual qi of heaven and earth will be stirred up, coinciding with the once-in-a-century Year of Heavenly Fire. At that time, over the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, Heavenly Flame will descend, which is an excellent refining flame, far superior to Earth Flame, and the artefacts that are sacrificed will bear Heavenly Flame patterns of excellent quality.”
“The world is so big, there is nothing strange about it!”Qin Li smiled faintly.
The Husbandman’s Handbook had said that the world breathes, a breath for a hundred years, a breath for a hundred years, and between the alternation of breaths, the aura of the heavens and the earth would be agitated. And above the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, the space was weak, causing the aura to become even more violent, and would rub out flames, which were heavenly flames that lasted for an entire year.
To draw an analogy, if you are missing a tooth, when you breathe, the wind is sharp at the opening. By the same token, the Past Life Cave would also have a riot of Yin Qi next year, and it would also produce Yin Fire, which was very terrifying.
“Wait!”
Qin Li suddenly came up with a brilliant escape plan.
In the sky above the Floating Cloud Mountain Range, the space was weak and could easily produce spatial cracks.
If he drilled into the Qiankun Bead and then left the Four Directions Domain through the spatial rift, the Cloud Que Palace Master would definitely not dare to chase after him, after all, within the void was endless darkness, and even an Immortal King above would be lost.
Qin Li muttered, “Good method, but how should I come back?”
“Why are you suddenly dazed.”Yun Shiyu asked with concern.
“Nothing!”Qin Li shook his head.
At this time!
The duo arrived on top of the Weaponry Peak.
The previously lively Hall of Weaponry Asking was empty.
Qin Li was puzzled, “Where have all those Weapon Refiners gone?”
Yun Shiyu explained, “Today is the opening of the Weapon Refining Competition, all the cultivators of the Eastern Immortal Palace, have travelled to the Heavenly Flame Glazed Stage to observe the ceremony, and the disciples of the Weaponry Peak have all gone to prepare for it, as the rankings of the Competition, directly determines the distribution of resources in the future, as well as the right to use the Heavenly Flame.”
Qin Li nodded, “The Eastern Region’s Weaponry Refining Competition is an event for weapon refiners, it is said to be carried out once in a hundred years, I wonder what the prizes are?”
Yun Shiyu explained, “Forget about the other minor prizes, the real highlight is getting a glimpse of the Complete Book of Weapon Refining.”
Qin Li was shocked in his heart, “Wasn’t that written by the Cloud Que Palace Master, known as the Sacred Canon of Weapon Refiners, the East Immortal Palace’s untold secret, how could it be used as a prize!”
Yun Shiyu sighed, “Because the cultivators of the Eastern Immortal Palace are too weak, mother made up her mind and took out many treasures, wanting to cultivate a few juniors who would pick the big pillars.”
“Then can I participate in the Weaponry Refining Competition?”
Qin Li suddenly asked.
He was currently stuck in a bottleneck and desperately needed to draw on other scriptures to figure out the path to Immortal King Fifth Grade. The Complete Book of Artifact Refining aptly met his needs, which not only recorded artifact refining techniques, but also the cultivation experience of the Cloud Que Palace Master, and was equivalent to another volume of the Husbandman’s Handbook.
“Definitely can, I’ll sign up for you!”Yun Shiyu spoke with certainty.
Qin Li laughed, “Trouble.”
Soon!
The duo entered the depths of the mountain range.
The landscape here was extremely peculiar, underfoot was not earth and stone, but translucent glaze that stretched for over a dozen miles, spotless and dreamy, this was the Heavenly Flame Glazed Terrace, which was burnt by the Heavenly Flame to look like this.
At the very centre, there is a high mountain, close to a total of five peaks, divided into red, yellow, green, blue and black five colours, from afar is the mythical five-fingered mountain, permeated with a mysterious power, the name of the fallen treasure cliff!
“The opening is almost over, let’s quickly go over and compete!”Yun Shiyu said.
Qin Li nodded and flew over.
Beneath the Treasure Fall Cliff!
The Eastern Immortal Palace cultivators were gathered together.
Above them was the Cloud Que Palace Master, his feet stepping on a cloudy haze: “Now that the winds are rising and the clouds are surging, it’s a great change that hasn’t been seen in 100,000 years, I hope you’ll refrain from arrogance and impatience ……”
The lengthy opening speech mapped out the hidden worries and urgency within her heart.
Qin Li’s interest was lacking.
He gazed straight at the cliff.
The Fallen Treasure Cliff was a thousand feet tall, translucent like jade, brilliant like crystal, five distinct colours, and also glowing with a glistening light that was divine.
It was rumoured that this five-fingered mountain peak, which existed in the Dark Ages, had survived the ravages of centuries and thousands of years of time, and had been burnt by the heavenly fire an unknown number of times, and was still intact. It was said that the mountain cliff was protected by a mysterious greatness, and only a seventh-grade artefact, could leave a trace.
Therefore!
Interesting things happened.
The Fallen Treasure Cliff gradually evolved into a monument, where only a seventh-grade artifact refiner could leave a name, the highest honour for an artifact refiner.
“Let me see!”
Qin Li’s eyes widened as he scanned through it.
Liancheng Immortal King, Purple Cloud Lan Sword; Xuanwei Immortal King, Earth Splitting Scimitar; Golden Light Immortal King, Golden Light Blazing Mirror; Yan Demon Immortal King, Dragon Slaying Chop; Cloud Que Palace Lord, Cloud Cloud Cloud Treasure Tripod; Heavenly Punishment Elder, Heavenly Punishment Thunder Sword ……
From the bottom to the top, one could see a large list of familiar names, as well as their famous works. It turned out that Elder Golden Light’s famous work was a mirror, which he didn’t seem to have seen before. There was also the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Sword, thinking about it made my heart ache, sooner or later I would have to get it back.
“The Great Weapon Refining Competition, officially begins!”
The Cloud Que Palace Master finished his speech.
At once!
The entire arena stirred.
All the weapon refiners were ready.
Yun Shiyu walked over and said, “Mother, wait, I want Gold to participate in the Weapon Refining Competition.”
Everyone present frowned.
The Xuan Weapon Immortal King scoffed, “Apprentice, you are too capricious, what qualifications does he have to participate in the competition as a rank and file prisoner.”
Yun Shiyu sneered back, “Any refiner is qualified to participate in the grand competition, if gold is not, Master, you are breaking the rules and will be poked in the back by the world’s refiners!”
The Xuan Weapon Immortal King’s face stiffened, this girl’s mouth was so much sharper.
“Fine, let him participate!”
The Cloud Que Palace Lord nodded and admonished, “In the battle at Sword Peak, you guys were not as good as him, I’m too lazy to pursue the matter, but if you lose to him again in weapon refining, don’t blame me for chipping away at Weapon Peak’s resources.”
The Weaponry Peak disciples were frightened, their gazes towards Qin Li filled with wariness.
Qin Li inexplicably smiled.
He recalled a fable from Earth.
If a sea fish was sent inland to be peddled, halfway through the journey, it would be pretty much dead. If a catfish was put in, it would force the sea fish to swim hard and thus reach its destination alive.
In the Cloud Que Palace Master’s mind, the East Immortal Palace was a bunch of dull fish, and desperately needed a stirrer to enter and change the culture of laziness under the sect.
