Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 278 The Man Who Plays With Fire
So, risking his life, the warrior crossed the flaming volcano, crossed the Ruoshui River, climbed to the summit of Kunlun, killed the monsters guarding the immortal passage, sneaked into the fairyland to steal the fire, and brought it to the world.

The human race used fire to illuminate the night, drive away ghosts, and even comprehended the method of practice from the flames, and gained extraordinary power.

However, the gods in the upper world soon discovered the warrior's act of stealing the fire.

So He immediately sent down a thunderbolt and struck the warrior to death.

At the same time, he also cut off the passage between the fairy world and the mortal world, and no mortal has been able to "smuggle" into the fairy world since then.

But the human race firmly remembered the kindness of this warrior.

They enshrined him on the altar and called him "the god of fire".

To be honest, when Gu Xu saw this fairy tale in the book for the first time, he felt that it was very outrageous—the god clearly had the powerful ability to directly kill the warrior with thunder, so why would he let the warrior sneak in? Stealing the fire in the immortal channel?
Of course, things like "myth" don't need to consider rationality.

Gu Xu quickly noticed the biggest difference between these two mythological systems——

In Daqi's official mythology system, the gods headed by "God" are the benefactors of the human race;
But in the legend of "Vulcan", the gods of the upper realm play the role of villains.

In addition, because of the "Vulcan" legend, the ancestors of the human race were all banished immortals, so there used to be powerful immortal blood in their bodies, but they were sealed after violating the rules of heaven.

However, there are some people with extraordinary talents, even after being relegated to the human world, they can still awaken their blood.

Gu Xu once vividly compared it to "the phenomenon of atavism".

The "Sacred Fire Totem" of the Zhao family in Youzhou can help them further activate their blood vessels and master the power hidden deep in their bodies.

Zhao Yan is a lucky one who successfully "returned to the ancestors".

Her physique is called "the body of the flame spirit" in the family. She is naturally close to the flame and is not afraid of high temperature.

And after possessing the "Sacred Fire Totem", she can even control the nearby flames and use them for her own use, and at the same time, she can use the flames to enhance the power of her marksmanship moves.

Today, she came to practice in this cave because she wanted to take advantage of the hot environment in the lava field river to further strengthen her "holy fire totem".

However, during the process of cultivation, she faintly noticed that the magma below her body seemed to be gathering in another direction.

Even if Zhao Yan drives the "Sacred Fire Totem" and tries her best to gather the flames of the Earth River to her side, these flames still roar, roll, and rush away from her as if they have been subjected to a strong gravitational force.

Zhao Yan frowned slightly.

As a direct descendant of the Zhao family in Youzhou, Zhao Yan has more knowledge than ordinary people and has learned many secrets of the past.

She naturally knew that this was the relic of the sect of the "Longevity Sect", and also knew that this magma river did not exist naturally, but appeared after the founder of the "Longevity Sect" died here many years ago .

According to the family's secret records, the founder of the "Longevity Cult" was a monk in the realm of "True Monarch", but after he broke through the eighth realm, he did not ascend through the catastrophe, but tried to pretend to be a god. He took a god named "Huilu" for himself, and by showing "miracles" in front of mortals, let mortals enshrine him on the altar and burn incense to worship him.

The founder is dead though.

But his Dao realm continued to have an impact here, forming this inexhaustible river of magma.

Because of this, when an unexpected change happened to the magma river, Zhao Yan's first reaction was: Could it be that the founder of "Longevity Sect" still left some unknown things here?

So she opened her eyes, temporarily stopped her cultivation, carried a spear to the river bank, and followed the direction of the magma flow, trying to find out what was going on.

After walking tens of meters, a huge vortex appeared in her vision——

Hot magma swirls around a deeply depressed central point that looks like a large, deep funnel.The orange-red flames churned around it, rotating round and round with the wall of the vortex, and then collided at the bottom of the vortex, creating a billowing heat flow that distorted Zhao Yan's vision.

The spear in Zhao Yan's hand is her natal weapon, named "Yizhangwei", and it is a top-grade magic weapon.

With the help of its power, Zhao Yan floated into the air, and at a glance she saw a man in Tsing Yi who was meditating in the deepest part of the vortex.

It's just that due to the restrictions placed around him, Zhao Yan couldn't see the face of the man in Tsing Yi clearly, only felt that his face was blurred, as if covered by clouds and mist; and he couldn't distinguish his true essence from his aura. Cultivation as the realm.

"I thought the founder of the 'Longevity Cult' left behind some rare treasure," Zhao Yan curled her lips, snorted coldly, and thought to herself, "I didn't expect someone to practice here—and make something With such a big commotion, you don’t even want to show your true face... It’s really disappointing.”

Zhao Yan has been practicing here for more than ten days.

As the legitimate daughter of the Zhao clan, she has lived a pampered life since she was a child - in the Youzhou area, her status is even higher than Princess Daqi's.

In the past life, others have always given her way and given her convenience.

Deep in her heart, she had long regarded this cave as a private retreat.

Now someone suddenly broke in, occupied her territory, and affected her cultivation, which undoubtedly made her unhappy.

It's just that she can't see through the cultivation level of this man in Tsing Yi——

He can create such a huge vortex in the magma river, presumably his strength should be extraordinary.

It shouldn't be easy to drive him away.

But Zhao Yan thought again, no matter how strong this person is, it is impossible to compare with the saint.Just tell him that "this lady is from the Zhao family", and give him some compensation, maybe he will be afraid of the power of the Zhao family and leave on his own.

So Zhao Yan floated right above the vortex, looked down at the man in green at the bottom of the vortex, casually turned the spear in his hand, and said indifferently: "This brother, Zhao Yan is in Xiayouzhou. The cultivation in this cave has now reached a critical stage, and it should not be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise there will be a risk of going crazy. So can you please choose another place, brother? I can use pills or magic weapons to compensate you for the loss."

Zhao Yan felt that her attitude was already very sincere.

However, the man in Tsing Yi under the vortex didn't seem to hear her words at all.

He was still concentrating on cultivating, reciting obscure scriptures softly in his mouth.

This verse seems to echo subtly with the environment of the cave.

The light and dark changes of the flames are almost completely consistent with the changes and frequency of his tone.
