Chapter 105 The Divine Sword Recognizes its Master
Two more hours passed before they finally arrived near Wanjian Cliff.

The scene before Shi Qinghan took him by surprise; there was a huge crowd of people, and the place was bustling with activity.

Countless cultivators gathered here, and the noise and discussions rose and fell.

"So many people!" Shi Qinghan couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Shihan nodded and said seriously, "Of course, the allure of the divine sword is irresistible. Brother, this is a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman. Once you successfully obtain the divine sword, you must use this talisman to teleport away immediately to avoid falling into danger."

Gu Shihan placed the teleportation talisman into Shi Qinghan's hand, and Shi Qinghan solemnly accepted it, her eyes filled with gratitude.

He smiled broadly and said to Gu Shihhan, "Little sister, from what you just said, you seem convinced that I am the lucky one favored by heaven. Haha, in that case, I'll take your auspicious words and hope that everything will go as smoothly as you said!"

Just then, a violent tremor suddenly shook the once peaceful world, as if the whole world was about to turn upside down.

The surrounding temperature began to rise at an alarming rate, and the scorching heat wave made it difficult to breathe.

The auras of the many cultivators present also became irritable and restless, as if they were affected by some unknown force.

"Girl, for some reason, I feel a powerful pulling force tugging at me!" Shi Qinghan said to Gu Shihan with a furrowed brow and a solemn expression.

"Brother, in my opinion, this is probably your lucky break. You don't need to worry about my safety. After this is over, remember to contact me using a communication talisman. But you must be very careful. Once you get the treasure, you must leave the scene quickly to avoid any mishaps," Gu Shihan said with concern.

"Sister, I've kept your instructions in mind. But this pulling force is getting stronger and stronger, and I... I really can't delay any longer!"

Before Shi Qinghan could finish speaking, he instantly transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot.

Gu Shihan looked in the direction Shi Qinghan had left, knowing that this place was not a good place to stay. Without the slightest hesitation, she turned around and quickly retreated in the opposite direction.

On the other side, Shi Qinghan felt as if she were being swept up by an invisible force, her body falling rapidly and uncontrollably.

The whistling wind beside him sounded like a sharp whistle, making his heart pound even faster. He tried to open his eyes to see what was below, but all he could see was a blurry scene, and he couldn't tell where he was at all.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Shi Qinghan suddenly felt his body sink, and with a muffled thud, he fell heavily onto the hard ground. At the same time, the sound of flowing water reached his ears, as if it were the only sound of life in this silent place.

He slowly opened his eyes and began to carefully observe his surroundings. The light was dim and gloomy, and a chill swept over him like a tide, making him feel a little cold.

Following the winding, underground river for about half an hour, the road ahead suddenly became bright.

Shi Qinghan looked closely and saw a vast expanse of fiery red lava. The churning lava resembled a burning dragon, flowing endlessly in a continuous cycle. In the center of this fiery lava, a sword radiating a dazzling crimson light was stuck.

"Such a divine object, it is truly an unparalleled sword! It seems that today is the day of my greatest opportunity, Shi Qinghan!" Shi Qinghan murmured to himself, trying to calm his excitement.

He composed himself, suppressing his heart pounding with excitement. He took a deep breath and quickly formed a complex hand seal. A surge of powerful spiritual energy shot towards the scalding lava. However, unexpectedly, the moment the energy collided with the lava, it only produced countless brilliant sparks; nothing else happened.

Upon seeing this, Shi Qinghan frowned slightly, secretly wondering, "Could there be some hidden secret here?"

After a moment's thought, he decided to ride his flying sword and carefully approach the mysterious divine sword.

But just a few feet away from the divine sword, suddenly, a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire space—"Roar..."

The sudden roar was like a thunderclap, causing Shi Qinghan to stagger and nearly fall from his flying sword into the scorching lava.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and Shi Qinghan turned his head in astonishment to see a gigantic, fiery red dragon bursting forth from the scorching, molten lava, which was billowing with thick smoke and sparks!

Its ferocious dragon head was raised high, aimed at Shi Qinghan who was standing not far away, and a surging flame was spewed out from its blood-red maw!

In an instant, the scorching flames formed a massive wall of fire, tightly encircling Shi Qinghan.

"Master, let me out quickly!" The little snake Long Teng's anxious yet clear voice suddenly rang in Shi Qinghan's ears.

Upon hearing Long Teng's call, Shi Qinghan did not hesitate at all. He quickly reached for the spirit beast pouch hanging at his waist, muttered an incantation, and then a flash of light appeared, from which Long Teng shot out.

The little dragon that had just appeared immediately took to the air, circled once, and flew straight towards the menacing fire dragon.

After the two dragons, one large and one small, met in the air, they did not immediately engage in fierce combat, but instead circled around each other for a few hours.

It was as if they were communicating or testing each other's strength in some special way.

Suddenly, the fire dragon opened its mouth wide, and a bright red bead that emitted a dazzling light slowly emerged from its mouth.

"Is this a Dragon Ball?" Shi Qinghan stared wide-eyed and muttered to himself.

Indeed, this bead is the Fire Dragon Bead, surrounded by a faint aura of flames, making it look mysterious and powerful.

Seeing this, Long Teng flew forward without hesitation and swallowed the red bead into his stomach in one gulp.

After swallowing the bead, Long Teng's body began to sway uncontrollably, clearly indicating that the power contained in the bead was too great for him.

Seeing this, Shi Qinghan flashed and rushed to the bottom of Long Teng at an extremely fast speed, catching the teetering creature steadily.

I sent Longteng back into the spirit beast pouch so that it could safely digest and absorb the powerful energy brought by the bead.
