The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 359 | Ancient City of Eternal Fire
Shen Long ended up being friends with Qiongqi. Then Shen Long walked into the inner chamber back and continued his meditation. Princess LingMei and Qiongqi were waiting for him in the outer space while keeping watch.
“I just broke through the Great Universe. I must purify again this Fire Root fruit before returning to the Light sect residence, Shen Long's inner”. He continued his meditation to purify the Fire Root fruit in his body.
Within an hour Shen Long was finally able to purify the fruit of the entire Fire Root and his strength increased to the peak stage of the Great Universe.
After achieving his success, Shen Long was about to head back over the land of the Desert of Fire but Qiongqi blocked him out.
“Master, you better follow me. I have something else that might help you,” Qiongqi told him.
Shen Long looked at Qiongqi who was looking at him seriously. “Alright, take us there.”
Qiongqi then entered the room inside and with her teeth she opened the lever hidden in the room. Shen Long looked at the passageway that appeared in that inner room. “Actually how many rooms below?” shen Long asked.
“Master, under this Desert of Fire is an ancient city that used to be called the Eternal Fire Ancient City. This is only part of the temple. The ancient city was connected to this temple with passageways between rooms,” explained Qiongqi.
Princess LingMei who came from Loka 888 was shocked. He himself did not know about this ancient city. Shen Long and Princess LingMei felt interested to know about that Eternal Flame ancient city.
“I'll drive you. But before that I will close this temple first to avoid others who come here.”
Qiongqi then walked back to the outside then he pressed a lever with his head so that the outer space shook and the floor part closed off from the outside world.
Qiongqi then walked the lead in front of Shen Long and Princess LingMei to invite them to enter the passageway further inside to go to the ancient city.
When they arrived at the other room, the hallway closed again. Qiongqi then opened the next passageway again and invited Shen Long and Princess LingMei to continue their journey.
Finally after going through the three rooms, they arrived at a vast ancient city under the Desert of Fire. There was an eternal fire burning at the top of the pyramid in the city. “This is actually the source of the heat of the Desert of Fire,” Qiongqi told them.
Shen Long and Princess LingMei were amazed to see the city whose buildings were yellow like golden pyramids in such a vast cave-like place.
The ceiling of the cave was like a white-colored crystal and solidly propped the Desert of Fire above the ground in order not to collapse on the ancient city. Water seemed to flow in some parts of the sky towards the pyramids of water that flowed along the ancient city.
“Where are the residents of this city?” shen Long asked Qiongqi.
“Master, this city died thousands of years ago during a terrible natural disaster. All the inhabitants were wiped out and the city was submerged in the land of the Desert of Fire. Only a master teacher from this ancient city managed to live and support this city so as not to be destroyed and buried by the Desert of Fire.”
Shen Long and Princess LingMei listened to Qiongqi's explanation carefully. They walked around the ancient city and admired it. “Where is the master teacher currently?”
Qiongqi then walked towards a pyramid building that was on the right side of the eternal fire pyramid located in the middle of the ancient city. The body of an old man sitting cross-legged in the pyramid. His body remained intact even though it was thousands of years old.
Qiongqi then took Shen Long and Princess LingMei into her teacher's pyramid. Qiongqi then bowed and saluted his teacher. Shen Long and Princess LingMei bowed and saluted the body of the master teacher.
“Guruku is someone who has the power of a dragon god like you sir.” Qiongqi said later.
Princess LingMei was surprised to hear that. He only learned that in the past there was also someone who had dragon power in this 888 Loka. But his life was thousands of years ago.
“Teachers told me before his death. For me to burn his body after I meet someone who also has the power of a dragon god. Looks like teacher has predicted your arrival to this place sir.” Qiongqi explained again as she prepared to burn the body of her teacher using the fire on her wings.
Shen Long did not understand what that meant. He also felt surprised because previously Libao had told himself that in this Loka there were no creatures that had the power of a dragon god.
The flames started burning the body of the Sakti Master after Qiongqi's wings embraced her teacher and drained the power to ignite the flames on her wings.
The bodies of the Sakti Master slowly turned to dust, but Qiongqi, Shen Long and Princess LingMei were shocked because from the body of the Sakti Master who had become dust left behind a small round, crystal-like object that emitted light.
The object then flew flying and then slid towards Shen Long and entered his body.
Jem!
The small round thing melted inside Shen Long's body. “This essence dragon god sari.” Shen Long did not have time to think when the thing had entered his body.
“It turns out that teacher wanted to pass on the power of his dragon god to you master,” said Qiongqi while smiling at Shen Long and bowing respectfully to him.
Shen Long looked puzzled as within his mind came the various memories of the Sakti Master that were starting to fuse with his memories. The various moves and powers possessed by the Sakti Master appeared in Shen Long's memories.
Shen Long's face seemed stunned stiffly at the memory. He then felt his body become hot until sweat poured into his body. “Pa-hot!” Shen Long almost shouted as he felt his body burn.
Shen Long was like rummaging and rolling around on the floor of the master teacher's pyramid. Even though Shen Long's strength had reached the late stage of the Great Universe, yet this sense of heat exceeded the strength of his own.
Qiongqi and Princess LingMei were shocked to see what Shen Long had done. They don't know what to do to help him.
Shen Long could not resist and walked out of the pyramid towards the water pyramid to cool it down. But what happens is that the water actually makes his body feel hotter. The water evaporated when it touched his body and the oxygen produced made his body become more burning.
