Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 50 Shenhuo Sect

Just as the three were feeling disappointed, they thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps I was wrong. Such a fault space may be far more than 100 meters, which is far beyond the limits of our perception. It is simply impossible to do."

"At this distance from the ground, even a Title Douluo probably wouldn't be able to detect it, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago. Detection? Detection..." Xiao Fei muttered to himself.

Xiao Fei suddenly stood up and said, "That's right, we don't necessarily have to sense it, we just need to detect it."

Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang looked at Xiao Fei with puzzled expressions. "What's the difference?"

Xiao Fei exclaimed excitedly, "We can't sense it right now, but that doesn't mean we have no way to understand what's happening underground!"

The two still looked puzzled.

Xiao Fei quickly said, "Huo Wushuang, can't your head soul bone emit sound waves to attack enemies? Why don't you just attack the furthest point underground and detect the differences underground?"

The two suddenly realized, and Huo Wushuang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "This is indeed feasible." Then Huo Wushuang conducted an experiment on the spot. Huo Wushuang activated the head soul bone skill, and a sound wave directly attacked the ground. Then Huo Wushuang carefully sensed it and nodded, saying, "I can indeed sense the target of the attack. I can directly attack about 500 meters underground. If the target is different, I can sense it."

For the next period of time, Huo Wushuang transformed into a detection machine, while Huo Wu and Xiao Fei continuously helped Huo Wushuang recover his soul power.

Finally, four days later, Huo Wushuang suddenly said, "This is it. I feel like my attack missed. That should be the gap between the voids."

Once Huo Wushuang confirmed the direction, Xiao Fei immediately used his external soul bone, transforming into an excavator. The external soul bone could even cut through steel, let alone a mere layer of stone.

Two hours later, the three reached the final stone layer. They could now sense that it was empty. Xiao Fei gave the two antidote herbs, but still feeling uneasy, he took out the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item. Holding the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item in his left hand, Xiao Fei used his steel claw with his right hand to open the final stone layer.

As soon as the rock layer was cut open, a fiery aura emanated from it, and the air seemed to indeed carry some kind of toxin. After all, it had been ten thousand years, and there was practically no vegetation beneath the volcano.

When the three entered this space, they were stunned. Before them was a huge city, but the entire city was tilted at a 45-degree angle. Half of the city had been integrated into the magma, while the other half was attached to the ground and tilted in the air, like a balance scale.

Perhaps due to good luck, the city gate was on the side that was tilted upwards. The three walked towards the city gate. The entire city was reduced to ruins, but the sect's plaque, made of some unknown material, had not rotted. The three characters "Divine Fire Sect" were still faintly visible on it.

After searching for so long, I've finally found the location of the Divine Fire Sect. I hope there are some opportunities inside.

The three entered the sect, but apart from a few broken stones, there seemed to be nothing there. Xiao Fei quickly took out a map and carefully compared it to the layout of the Divine Fire Sect. The map was somewhat similar to the layout of the sect's interior. And there was only one place marked prominently on the entire map, which was clearly where the sect's treasure was located.

Following the map, the three searched inwards until they finally arrived at their destination, where they were utterly astonished by what they saw.

Before him stood a colossal tower, hundreds of feet tall. The tower leaned to the side of the ground, though at a less pronounced angle. Xiao Fei examined it closely and was astonished. Except for the main entrance, the entire tower seemed sealed, and it was entirely constructed of extraterrestrial meteorite copper. Extraterrestrial meteorite copper exists only in meteorites, is extremely rare, and its weight and value are comparable to sunken silver from the deep sea. Such a massive tower was practically priceless. And how could such a large tower be made of meteorite copper?

The words on the tower are clearly visible: "Tower of Divine Fire".

The three of them stared speechlessly at the gate, which was also made of meteorite bronze. With their current strength, Xiao Fei and the others couldn't possibly destroy the tower's gate. And in the center of the gate was a peculiar gap, resembling a ball of flame.

Just as Xiao Fei was feeling down, Huo Wu somewhat awkwardly took out something similar from her body. Clearly, this was the key to the Divine Fire Tower.

Xiao Fei and Huo Wushuang were both annoyed. Huo Wu quickly said, "Grandpa gave me this key before I left home. He didn't know its specific purpose, only that it was left behind by the Divine Fire Sect."

Huo Wu used the key to open the door, but the door was obviously very heavy. The three of them struggled to open a gap just big enough for one person to pass through. After the three of them went in, the door closed automatically.

Upon entering the Divine Fire Tower, the three were surprised to find that the tower offered a clear view into the sky. Inside, a steep, upward-sloping staircase led to a central statue of a human figure made of meteorite. A flame flickered in the statue's hand. The Divine Fire Sect had vanished ten thousand years ago; could the flame in the statue's hand have also existed for ten thousand years?

However, at the same time, the three of them felt an immense attraction to the flame in the statue's hand. As they walked towards the sloping staircase, they felt an immense pressure emanating from it, and the flames within their bodies began to stir restlessly.

Xiao Fei looked around carefully and finally found a piece of writing on the wall. The writing told the story of the origin and development of the Divine Fire Sect.

Over ten thousand years ago, the first sect leader of the Divine Fire Sect was an exceptionally talented genius. At a young age, he aspired to become a god, and through diligent cultivation, he finally reached the human limit: a level 99 Peerless Douluo. However, the gap between level 99 and level 100 seemed insurmountable, hindering his progress. Ultimately, he devised a plan: after all members of his clan moved into the Undying Volcano, they established the Divine Fire Sect. Then, mobilizing all resources, he built the Divine Fire Tower, entirely forged from meteorite copper.

He wanted to use the power of the Divine Fire Tower and the ley lines of the Undying Volcano to reach level 100. He succeeded halfway, successfully crossing level 99, but failed to reach level 100. This was because he had no divine position and no divine inheritance. However, he hoped that his descendants could fulfill his goal and reach level 100. He sacrificed all his abilities in his life into a wisp of flame in the bronze statue's hand. This flame had transcended the realm of ordinary fire; it was now a divine flame.

From then on, the Divine Fire Tower became the place of cultivation for generations of clansmen.

It is also a place of inheritance. Among the successive clan leaders, those who reached level 99 would sacrifice their divine soul and abilities to this divine fire. However, this place of inheritance also attracted the covetousness of powerful outsiders. The last clan leader fought a great battle with the enemy, and in the end, both sides were severely injured, which caused the Undying Volcano to erupt. Ultimately, the Divine Fire Sect was buried by the volcano and disappeared into the long river of history.
