Chapter 1123: Reclusion Underground


    Trantor: CKtalon Editor: - -


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Yi Yun sat in theva pool asva bubbled and spewed underground. The dark goldva eventually rose above his head,pletely immersing him in the boiling pool.


    Theva possessed not only burning heat and violent pure Yangws, but also heat toxins. The toxins were strong enough to invade even a Dao Pce warrior’s body, if that warrior was immersed in theva for a prolonged period of time.


    However, Yi Yun had a pure Yang body, and the Azure Wood Divine Tree within. These allowed him to detoxify the heat toxins.


    Hence him sitting in theva pool without worry, while also absorbing the pure Yang powers within.


    Yi Yun’s breakthrough to the Dao Pce realm was a forced one. He had also burned his blood essence to kill the three from the Seven Star Dao Pce. If he did not consolidate his realm quickly, his foundation might turn unstable, harming his future martial path.


    The pure Yang powers in theva pool appeared to be limitless. It was a perfect ce for Yi Yun to recuperate.


    Simultaneously, Yi Yun enveloped Ling Xie’er in his Yuan Qi barrier.


    A month had passed, yet Ling Xie’er showed no signs of awakening. However, her spirit body was taking on a more solid appearance.


    The goal was to nurture fire with fire; the Heretical God Fire Seed was a me that had been born from the world. Therefore, theva’s underground fire could naturally be nutrients to nourish her.


    As Yi Yun cultivated, he also constantly monitored Ling Xie’er’s condition.


    He had fused with the Heretical God Fire Seed, giving him a special connection with Ling Xie’er. He knew her condition like the back of his hand. Yi Yun’s Yuan Qi barrier precisely controlled theva’s pure Yang energy, distilling it to a level that was within Ling Xie’er’s tolerance level.


    Cultivation knew no time. Yi Yun was engrossed in cultivation and only in his leisure time could he treat Ling Xie’er.


    Those who knew that Yi Yun was here were already dead, other than Old Man Ji andpany. Hence, Yi Yun was not worried that his reclusion would be disturbed by others. In the underground world, he was able to calm his heart as he listened to the daily ebb and flow of theva.


    Yi Yun knew that the rity Pool Sword Sect was still in danger. However, the expedition to the Sun Burial Sandsea had cost the Seven Star Dao Pce four deputy ptial lords as well as several Seven Star High Ambassadors. With the Seven Star Dao Pce losing a great deal of its strength, they could no longer easily wipe out the rity Pool Sword Sect even if they wanted to.


    Furthermore, the rity Pool Sword Sect had an ancient array protecting their home. Breaking through that was also not an easy task.


    As for Ling Xie’er, her condition left Yi Yun gripped by worry. She was a spirit body and her true body, the Heretical God Fire Seed, had already fused with him. However, her spirit body was extremely weak and healing herpletely was easier said than done.


    Above, in the Sun Burial Sandsea, the muffled thunderous rumbling gradually disappeared underground. The movement of the sand on the surface was quickly hidden by stillness. Most of the major factions, warriors that hade in search of treasures, did not know what had happened in the Sun Burial Sandsea as they continued their search.


    As time went on, some warriors eventually gave up after failing to find anything. However, there were still others that continue searching diligently in hopes that a miracle might happen.


    Even if they could not find the supreme treasure Yang spirit that had triggered the phenomenon, finding a fewpanion items of the Yang spirit would also greatly change their lives for the better.


    ...


    "Sixth Junior Sister, bring Wu Xu andpany back to the sect after another month’s search. I’ll stay behind to continue the search."


    In the Sun Burial Sandsea, eight figures were walking in the desert. The person leading them was a stocky, middle-aged man. There was a faint Yuan Qi fluctuation shimmering over his body, isting him the sand and heat.


    And behind him were six young juniors of both genders. There was another woman in her thirties that was wearing a ck dress. That woman was the sixth junior sister that the middle-aged man addressed.


    These people were members of a small sect from the Myriad Divine Territory, named Red Cauldron Sect.


    The Myriad Divine Territory was a neighbor of the Central State Divine Territory, with the Sun Burial Sandsea separating the two. The people from the Red Cauldron Sect hade from the other end of the Sun Burial Sandsea.


    Ever since the Sun Burial Sandsea phenomenon of a year ago, the Red Cauldron Sect and many others hade to the Sun Burial Sandsea to try their luck. They hoped to find treasures that could strengthen their sect, but failed to find anything of worth.


    The phenomenon that had once extended over a million kilometers had vanished in the past year, and there had not been any activity in a long time.


    A few major factions decided to retreat when they discovered that the Yang aura in the Sun Burial Sandsea had weakened over the past few months. They suspected that the treasure had been taken away.


    However, they also refused to believe that someone had taken it away. Firstly, they found it unbelievable that anyone would have had such an opportunity, and secondly, they had been scouring the Sun Burial Sandsea over the past year but never saw the treasure appear.


    In the end, the number of people in Sun Burial Sandsea decreased to a point where it was no longer a tenth of what it was at its peak.


    The middle-aged man and his junior sister had cultivated for years and had lived through thick and thin. Now, they were leading the Red Cauldron Sect’s juniors on an expedition, with the intention of training them and giving them experience.


    A fruitless year had given the ck-dressed woman thoughts of abandoning hope but she shook her head when she thought of the situation her sect leader was in.


    "Let’s continue searching. The sect leader has been unconscious for a decade. Her frail life is constantly hanging by a thread and it can’t continue. We have to find a treasure to save her. Without her, a small sect like ours can be wiped out at any time."


    If her elder sister wasn’t in such a dire condition, they would not havee to the Sun Burial Sandsea.


    Upon hearing the ck-dressed woman’s words, the middle-aged man fell silent. As for the juniors that they were leading, their faces also revealed mncholic and uneasy expressions.


    A young girl wearing yellow had lowered her head further as her eyes turned increasingly red.


    Indeed, they were in a terrible state. The sect leader was unconscious and the sect was in constant danger. Yet, their journey to the Sun Burial Sandsea bore no fruit...


    "Junior Sister Ru’er, why are you beginning to cry again!?" said a young disciple loudly.


    Ru’er quickly sniffed and shook her head, saying, "I’m not..."


    "Fine, fine." The middle-aged man looked at Ru’er and felt somewhat stifled. Despite being their martial uncle, he was unable to hold up the skies for these young disciples.


    "It’s decided. We will continue searching for one more month," said the middle-aged man.


    At that moment, the middle-aged man felt a rumble beneath his feet.


    The Sun Burial Sandsea had been quiet for a long period of time. Therefore, the sudden quake shocked the Red Cauldron Sect group.


    Even more shocking was that the rumble did not stop. Instead, the quake grew even more violent, reaching to the deepest depths of thend.


    Xiao—


    A sharp screech seemed to burst out of thend, pricking straight at their eardrums!


    Instantly, the wind and clouds in the sky seemed to coalesce like they had been instigated by the screech.


    "What’s going on?" The middle-aged man hurriedly instructed the young disciples to fly into the air to find their footing.
