Primordial Era: I, the Spiritual Stone Monkey, was born ahead of schedule to seize the throne.

Chapter 173 No One Can Save You: The Secret of the Fire Cloud Cave

No wonder Qi Tian didn't believe it.

The main problem is that this cave is too shabby.

It's even worse than the Water Curtain Cave he initially dug haphazardly.

It's like a naturally formed cave.

No one who saw it would believe that this was the Daoist temple of the powerful Hongyun Ancestor from the primordial era.

The residence of the three future emperors of the human race.

"That's right."

In response to Qi Tian's doubts, Zhen Yuanzi nodded firmly and then explained:

"It's just that Brother Hongyun likes to travel around. Since he took human form, he has basically never stayed in Huoyun Cave. So this place is still the same as it was before he took human form."

"Oh~"

Qi Tian seemed to realize something, but then looked puzzled.

He sensed no living being in his primordial spirit.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Hongyun? He's not here?"

"Here it is!"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and gently channeled a force of law onto the primordial, indestructible spiritual fire.

Suddenly,

The primordial fire pulsed even more violently.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a fiery red bead shot out of the flames and spun continuously in mid-air.

Qi Tian immediately recognized it as the spirit pearl that appeared after Hong Yun's self-destruction.

Before he could examine it closely,

A red light continuously surged from within the spirit pearl, and then condensed into a phantom image in front of Qi Tian and Zhen Yuanzi, with a kind smile on its face.

"Red Clouds!"

Qi Tian narrowed his eyes and immediately recognized the illusory figure in front of him as Hong Yun.

However, it is not a physical entity.

Instead, it is an illusory body formed by the power of spatial laws.

only,

This power of spatial laws was very strong in Qi Tian's eyes, and his comprehension of it was comparable to that of Zhen Yuanzi's earth laws.

It's just a hair's breadth away from reaching 30%.

It seems that Hongyun survived a great calamity and has made a breakthrough.

"Um?"

Just then, Qi Tian's eyes narrowed, and he stared intently at the primordial, indestructible spiritual fire.

His brows furrowed.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qitian! Long time no see!"

The illusory figure of the red cloud did not notice Qi Tian's expression.

He greeted us with a smile, his face bearing his usual friendly grin.

"May I ask what brings you here, Fellow Daoist Qitian?"

Why?

Qi Tian suddenly let out a cold laugh:

"For you, for the Fiery Cloud Cave, and even more so for this primordial, inextinguishable spiritual fire!"

Speaking of last,

His tone became even colder.

because,

He had just used his Golden Eyes of Truth to discover that there was actually human destiny within that primordial spiritual fire.

It was the same as what he had sensed inside Suirenshi before.

The fate of the human race cannot be faked.

If that is indeed the case...

There's definitely something wrong with Suirenshi.

If a person's life-giving fire is extracted, even if they don't die, they will be crippled. Not only will their cultivation level regress, but they will also have no chance of making any further progress.

Thinking of this,

A chilling killing intent gradually began to emanate from Qi Tian's body.

Zhen Yuanzi immediately sensed this and flashed forward, blocking Hongyun's path.

The supreme innate spiritual treasure—the Earth Book—appeared in his hand, while he looked at Qi Tian with wariness:

"Fellow Daoist Qitian, what are you doing? You swore an oath by the Great Dao!"

"oath?"

Qi Tian snorted coldly: "I only swore not to steal the Primordial Purple Qi, but I didn't guarantee anything else!"

"you"

Zhen Yuanzi's expression immediately changed, and his heart sank:

"Brother Hongyun has never offended you!"

Although his words implied a lack of confidence, Zhen Yuanzi did not take them to heart.

Although his current strength is only a step away from that of a saint, he has no confidence at all in facing Qi Tian.

After all, the other party had killed a saint.

The gap in strength is too large.

Not only Zhen Yuanzi, but Hongyun was also somewhat alarmed and puzzled at this moment.

Just as Zhen Yuanzi said, he had not offended Qi Tian.

Moreover, since the other party wasn't after his Primordial Purple Qi, he probably didn't have anything else of value on him that was worth coveting.

Is it

For his other top-grade innate spiritual treasures?

Qi Tian ignored what the two were thinking and took out the golden cudgel and held it in his hand.

A murderous intent surged in his eyes as he looked at Hongyun.

"You dare to steal my grand-disciple's life-giving fire? No one can save you today!"

"what?"

Hongyun was completely dumbfounded. Seeing that Qitian was about to make a move, he quickly shouted:

"Wait, who is your disciple's grand-disciple? When did I draw his life-bound fire?"

Zhen Yuanzi, standing nearby, had a sudden thought.

His gaze unconsciously drifted to the primordial, inextinguishable spiritual fire inside the cave.

Suspicion began to creep into his heart:

Could it be that Brother Hongyun is lying? This is not the original spiritual fire of Huoyun Cave, but the life fire truly extracted from Qitian's grand-disciple?

Therefore,

Why did Qi Tian react this way after seeing that innate flame?

Zhen Yuanzi looked puzzled, while Qi Tian smiled.

He was just laughing because he was extremely angry.

"Looks like you won't give up until you're dead! I'll make sure you die knowing why!"

As he spoke,

Qi Tian directly used his magic to conjure up the image of Suirenshi in the void:

Do you recognize this person?

"Um?"

Hongyun was taken aback. The more she looked at the figure in the void, the more familiar it seemed. Finally, she exclaimed in surprise:

"Ah, it was him?"

"You recognized me?"

Qi Tian's eyes flashed with cold light, his killing intent surged, and he roared:

"Since you've recognized them, then..."

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Before Qi Tian could make a move, Hong Yun suddenly shouted, then quickly explained:

"This is your grand-disciple's natal fire, but it is also the original inextinguishable spiritual fire of my Fire Cloud Cave. He turned the original inextinguishable spiritual fire of Fire Cloud Cave into his natal fire."

"What do you mean?"

Qi Tian paused just as he was about to use the Law of Force again, but his killing intent did not diminish.

I just have some doubts.

He didn't understand Hongyun's tongue-twisting words.

Not only him,

Zhen Yuanzi didn't understand either: "Brother Hongyun, what exactly happened?"

"It's a long story."

Hongyun gave a somewhat dejected bitter smile:

"After I self-destructed, my primordial spirit was protected by my companion spiritual treasure and escaped back to the Fire Cloud Cave. This primordial undying spiritual fire and my companion spiritual treasure are interdependent. Although it is a fire of destruction, things always turn into their opposites. Within the spiritual fire of extreme destruction, endless vitality was generated. So I slept and recuperated within this undying spiritual fire."

"However, not long after, a being barged in, the one Fellow Daoist Qitian mentioned, Suirenshi. He seemed curious about everything. In the end, he actually reached out and touched this primordial immortal spirit fire, and was then directly burned by the flames."

"However, this flame was accompanied by boundless vitality. In the end, he not only did not die, but also somehow merged with the flame, and this primordial spirit fire became his natal fire."

That's how it is!

After hearing Hongyun's explanation, the murderous intent emanating from Qitian gradually dissipated.

But I'm still a little confused:

"Since this primordial, indestructible spiritual fire has become his natal fire, why is he still staying here?"

"He didn't leave it."

Hongyun shook her head, her eyes also filled with confusion:

"When he left, the primordial undying spiritual fire also entered his body and left with him. But for some reason, ever since then, a faint aura of fortune has been constantly emanating from this Fire Cloud Cave."

Then, a new primordial, inextinguishable spiritual flame slowly emerged, though it was somewhat different from the previous one. I studied it for a while, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

"If you still don't believe me, you can go and ask your grand-disciple."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tian remained silent for a moment.

However, deep down he basically believed Hongyun's words.

Simultaneously,

They also understood why the Fire Cloud Cave was later able to gather the fortune of the human race.

He had previously used his Golden Eyes of Truth to see that the innate fire within Suirenshi's body had merged with the human race's destiny and become the torch of human civilization because he had passed it on to all humans.

As long as the flame burns, humanity will never perish.

现在

The fact that Huoyun Cave can gather the fortune of the human race must be because of Suiren.

"In that case..."

Qi Tian's heart stirred:

"That supreme treasure capable of suppressing the destiny of the human race was conceived in this Fire Cloud Palace?"
