Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 84

Yan Chutian was clear from his own strength. Perhaps, if he were to face Zhao Hong and Dong Puti right now, he would still have the strength to exchange blows with them. However, if he were to face a genuine Elixsir level practitioner, it would still be too much.

Moreover, Lu Yang was the Holy Son, so he was definitely more outstanding than an ordinary cultivator. This will make this problem even more difficult.

However, Yan Chutian was unwilling to give up as this might be the only way to find the Thousand Year Essence Flame. Furthermore, it was related to his cultivation of the Mysterious Scripture, so how could he delay it!

As Yan Chutian's expression rapidly changed, Dong Puti suddenly smiled strangely and said, "However, that doesn't mean you don't have a chance. After all, the Thousand Year Essence Flame was something that could only be discovered by chance. If you want to get it, not only do you need strength, you also need a certain amount of luck."

"In addition, I know of some places that might have the Thousand Year Essence Fire. I can take you there."

Dong Puti's sudden words immediately made Yan Chutian cautious. He was not a fool and certainly did not think that the other party would help him for no reason. As the saying goes, irresponsible people hide evil intentions!

Yan Chutian suddenly fell silent. How could the intelligent Dong Puti not know that the other party was being cautious? Therefore, he generously admitted, "The Fire Cave produces the Fire Ears, and, but what is rarely known is that the Fire Cave also has a Treasure of Heaven and Earth Spirit Rice of Grade Six — Blood Fire Grass!"

Only then did Yan Chutian understand. It turned out that the other party had the same goal as him. Now on second thought, this woman might approach him with the intention to cooperate with him from the very beginning. Just to dispel his vigilance, he went through so many twists and turns.

Sure enough, even in the mortal world, there was no shortage of intelligent young cultivators. If they were placed in the Heavenly Realm, where the starting point was higher, they might even become top geniuses.

Returning to the main topic, since the other party had the same thoughts as him, Yan Chutian happily agreed. After which, under the lead of Dong Puti, he walked step by step into the depths of the Fire Cave.

After the two of them left, the surrounding disciples held back a feeling of disappointment. They originally thought that would be able to see the new disciple crash into the wall miserably, but in the end, the two of them seemed to have reached some sort of agreement and actually walked together.

But since there was nothing to see, they left and went back to cultivating.

…

In the depths of the Fire Cave, a red-robed cold-faced man took out a sparkling substance that resembled quicksand from the ground. The substance emitted a red glow and a warm aura faintly spread out. Just a little would make one feel at ease, as if it could even slightly increase one's cultivation base.

However, when the cold-faced man saw this red substance, he did not feel any excitement. Instead, he felt angry.

"Senior Lu need not worry. As long as there is a fire essence in this Fire Cave, we will definitely be able to find it and give it to Senior Lu to cultivate."

The surrounding disciples quickly spoke up. Among them, there was no shortage of people of the level of the Candidate Holy Son. Even though there was only one word of difference between the Holy Son and the Candidate of the Holy Son, there was still a huge difference in status, so there was the Candidate of the Holy Son who was willing to follow the Holy Son.

Hearing the persuasion of the surrounding disciples, the cold-faced man's anger dissipated as well. He gently nodded and handed the red substance in his hand, which was a hundred-year-old essence fire, to them.

Then he did not even turn his head and continued to lead the way inside the magma-filled cave to search …

At the same time, under the lead of Dong Puti, Yan Chutian arrived at the first place where there might be a thousand-year-old essence fire.

Hence, there were no other disciples here, only Yan Chutian and Dong Puti. That was why Yan Chutian truly believed that there might be a thousand year essence flame ahead.

However, after walking a few feet forward, Yan Chutian did not see the thousand-year-old essence flame. Instead, he saw strands of fiery aura slowly rising from the magma. They quickly intertwined on the surface of the magma and turned into four-legged beasts that appeared, roaring like thunder.

"This …"

"It's your first time here, so it's only natural that you don't know about this. This was the Fire Beast, a strange life form unique to the Fire Cave. However, they cannot be considered a life form and will only appear occasionally. However, do not underestimate them because of this. Although the Fire Beasts did not possess intelligence, they possessed the instincts of ferocious beasts. Moreover, the Fire Beast was not weak. There were strong ones comparable to the Elixir Realm. They are so strong!"

Dong Puti quickly explained. However, even if he did not explain, how could Yan Chutian not know about this strange life form? After exploring the Heaven Realm for such a long time, he had seen many similar existences.

However, he had never expected there would be one in the Fire Cave.

As for the so-called Fire Beast in front of him, his cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"How, do you want to move or should I?"

ask Dong Puti. Although he seemed to ask, there was a trace of provocation in his words. Yan Chutian could naturally hear the provocation in his words, but this kind of provocation was insignificant. Could it be that he was able to defeat Zhao Hong, who was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so why was he afraid of the Fire Beast at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm?

Therefore, after glancing at the wild beauty beside him, Yan Chutian dashed out and headed straight for the Fire Beast.

As if sensing the aura of attack, the originally calm Fire Beast suddenly roared. His blood-red eyes locked onto Yan Chutian. His entire body was covered in flames and like a beast-shaped fireball, he pounced towards the first one.

However, when they were actually fighting, Yan Chutian felt that this Fire Beast was not simple. When attacking, there would be strands of hot aura that would attack his body. This flame aura was like poison, continuously eroding his Spiritual Strength and even his body. Fortunately, he had developed the "Na Lei Technique". Otherwise, he would be in a very difficult situation.

At the same time, he also understood why Dong Puti was secretly provoking him. He wanted to see her in a sorry state when she was caught off guard.

However, he was afraid that he would have to disappoint her.

In less than half an hour, the Fire Beast was destroyed by Yan Chutian. When it was destroyed, a bright red fireball floated in the air. Before he could keep it, Dong Puti's warning came from behind him.

"It was the Qi of Fire. Although it contained extremely pure spiritual energy, it contained fire poison. The fire poison was much more terrifying than the one unleashed by the Fire Beast. Therefore, don't try to absorb it, or you'll end up." in a miserable state."

"Poison of Fire …"

Yan Chutian muttered to himself. However, he did not stop what he was doing and immediately put away the Fire Qi ball. Perhaps others would not be able to handle the fire poison, but that did not include him.

Seeing Yan Chutian still pulling his Fire Qi, Dong Puti was reluctant to say anything more. According to him, the other party would not give up until all hope was lost. Wait until he felt the terror of the fire poison, he would naturally give up.
