Fate of the Immortals and Demons

Chapter 360 Candle Dragon Spirit Fire

"This is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It seems that this Ma Liang is not the person..."

When he flew in, he found himself in a ruined palace complex. In the dim light, Mo Hei could only keep his eyes and ears open to search carefully.

This is because this palace complex has obviously experienced a great war, it is full of weirdness, and there are remnants of formations and restrictions, so spiritual consciousness is inevitably restricted.

"Squeak..."

Mo Hei searched all the way, and even though his footsteps were light, the sound he made when he stepped on the broken rubble was still there.

In this dead silence where you can hear a pin drop in the palace complex, the sound is still extremely harsh and resounds loudly.

From this we can see how deadly silent this palace buried under the sea is, shrouded in the dim and gloomy twilight.

"Is this place really the Dragon Palace under the Sea?"

Although his spiritual awareness was restricted, it did not prevent Mo Hei from seeing the dilapidated and crumbling palace with his own eyes in the dim light.

"Susu..."

Just as Mo Hei's eyes were wandering and looking around, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from a mostly collapsed temple in the front right.

"This person is full of tricks, so we must be careful and guard against him."

Mo Hei immediately became extremely alert, holding the Taiyi Butterfly Sword, and walked towards the palace carefully.

For safety reasons, Mo Hei did not enter through the dilapidated gate, but quietly went around to the left side of the temple.

"This... could this be an alchemy furnace?"

When Mo Hei flew around like a ghost to the left side of the temple which had mostly collapsed, he looked through the broken walls.

However, he did not notice that in the messy hall, there was a dusty furnace with a burning fire inside.

"Could it be... that the sound originated from here?"

Seeing this scene, Mo Hei was slightly shocked. After a slight hesitation, Mo Hei flashed to the side of the cauldron and looked at it carefully.

Although the priority right now is to find the injured and fleeing Ma Liang, since Ma Liang has intentionally fled here, there must be a reason.

Rather than wandering aimlessly and having difficulty tracking it, it is better to take this opportunity to see if you can find a chance to improve your cultivation level.

Once he becomes strong enough, Ma Liang will be nothing more than a clown in his eyes. If he meets him again, he will undoubtedly die.

Mo Hei thought so and looked around the cauldron, which was a head taller than himself, and found that there was nothing strange about it.

However, through its holes, one can vaguely see a flickering flame inside, clearly revealing the scent of elixir fire.

"It's really strange. This furnace looks ordinary, but why is the fire still burning inside? Could it be that there is something else hidden, perhaps a supreme elixir fire?"

Thinking of this, Mo Hedun had an urge to smash open the alchemy furnace that was covered in dust and had no spiritual energy.

But soon, Mo Hei forced himself to calm down, and looked away, instead observing the dilapidated palace.

As the eyes wander around, one can vaguely see traces of wooden racks that were once placed inside the hall, with fragments of porcelain left behind.

Apart from this, there was not a single remains in this dilapidated temple, as if it had been completely looted.

"I figured this hall should be an alchemy room. If it really had the Supreme Alchemy Fire, it wouldn't make sense that they would have looted all the elixirs and left this furnace alone."

Thinking of this, Mo Hei became extremely cautious and stepped back step by step, keeping a distance from the ordinary alchemy furnace in front of him.

"Huhuhu..."

Just as Mo Hei was about to withdraw from the collapsed wall, the cauldron suddenly burst into flames and burned fiercely.

"This……"

Witnessing this scene, Mo Hei couldn't help but be shocked and horrified, and secretly thanked God that he didn't act rashly.

"Boy, do you want to build the foundation of the strange fire?"

Suddenly, a question came out from the cauldron.

"What!?"

Mo Hei was surprised and alert. He did not answer but asked:

"May I ask who exactly you are, Your Excellency?"

This voice answered the question irrelevantly:

"If you didn't have the aura of that man's offspring on you, how could I have revived?"

"What did you say?"

Mo Hei was suddenly startled and couldn't help but take a step forward, staring at the cauldron in front of him.

"...I only know that the Immortal Emperor Yishu was willing to sacrifice his life to completely eliminate the evil dragon from endangering the Three Realms, and he is deeply revered by all beings in the Three Realms."

In a flash, Mo Hei suddenly recalled what Dier had said to him.

"...annihilating the evil dragon that threatened the Three Realms... willingly sacrificing his life for the cause... Why did Die'er say... that my father sacrificed his life for the cause? And this place... is so similar to the Dragon Palace..."

For a moment, dark thoughts came like a tide, and he felt overwhelmed.

Before Mo Hei could come to his senses, the voice continued to question:

"Boy, I just want to ask you, are you the offspring of that unusual Immortal Emperor?"

Mo Hei was so excited by this question that he immediately took a step forward and asked:

"Do you recognize my father, the Unusual Immortal Emperor Ding Longgang?"

The voice was full of doubt, as if muttering to itself:

"He really is that man's offspring, but why does he emit a faint demonic aura?"

Mo An was startled, but his face remained calm as if he hadn't heard anything.

Following this voice, a hint of command was shouted:

"Boy, come forward and let me confirm it."

Mo Hei was unmoved, and slowly shook his head and asked:

"Excuse me, sir, what is your connection with my father?"

The voice replied with reminiscence:

"I am a wisp of heaven and earth's spiritual fire. Fortunately, thanks to your father's care, I hid in this alchemy furnace, and was able to escape that unprecedented war."

"Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Fire?"

Mo Hei remained silent, but did not relax his vigilance. He kept his distance, staring at the cauldron in front of him, and asked:

"I wonder if my father is safe in this battle?"

The voice was filled with impatience and urged:

"Why are you asking so many questions, kid? I'm hiding in this furnace and I'm not doing you any harm. Why do you have to stay so far away?"

"Are you really a ray of heaven and earth spiritual fire?"

Mo Hei asked a question tentatively, and then asked:

"I wonder if you have another name?"

The voice was obviously full of temptation, pretending to be profound:

"It has a nickname, but I wonder if you're uninformed. Have you ever heard of the Celestial Spirit?"

"Elves of Heaven and Earth!?"

When Mo Hei heard this, his face changed drastically. Without saying anything, he immediately withdrew and walked away.

However, it was all too late. A line of fire suddenly burst out from the hole in the furnace.

"You little brat, are you just like your ungrateful and evil father? Just as cautious and timid, and do you think you are upholding justice?"

As these long-standing resentful and indignant words were uttered, Mo Hei seemed to be tied up tightly by a wire of fire, unable to move.

In an instant, Mo Hei, who was bound by the tinderbox, asked angrily:

"Who the hell are you? How dare you slander my father like that?"

"Boy, let me tell you the truth. I am the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire, and also the Dan Spirit Fire that protects the dragon clan."

As the words fell, the bound Mo Hei was dragged to the front of the cauldron.

Mo Hei, who seemed to have become a prisoner, was not at all panicked and just asked:

"I just want to know, did my father really hide you in this alchemy furnace, allowing you to survive until now?"

"Humph!"

The Candle Dragon Spirit Fire that was burning fiercely in the alchemy furnace snorted angrily, but did not answer. It released Mo Hei's two hands and said:

"Boy, as the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Open this furnace and I will let you go."

How could Mo Hei compromise? He refused without hesitation and asked:

"Do you think I'll agree?"

"Don't agree?"

This Candle Dragon Spirit Fire had obviously anticipated this and said without a care in the world:

"Then let's just wait and see! I've been hiding in this furnace for a long time, why would I care about a moment or two?"

Hearing this, Mo Hei finally calmed down. Then he thought that if he really delayed any further, once Ma Liang recovered from his injuries and came looking for him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Mo Hei was already feeling deeply uneasy. He forced himself to remain calm and asked:

"Since you claim to be the magical fire that protects the dragon race, why can't you come out of this furnace?"

There was a hint of resentment in the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire's tone, and he said angrily:

"Isn't this all thanks to your father's kindness in hiding me in this furnace to protect me from being coveted?"

"So, it really is because of me that you were able to revive. That makes sense. I just wonder if my father had any other purpose in sealing you in this furnace?"

After Mo Hei muttered to himself, he understood what was going on and asked solemnly:

"How can I guarantee that you will keep your word and let me go and not hurt me when I open the furnace?"

Zhulong Linghuo sneered contemptuously:

"Although you exude a demonic aura, I can at least tell that you are a cultivator about to reach the Root-Building Stage. Presumably, you are well versed in the Dao Heart Oath."

Mo Hei immediately refuted and asked:

"But you are not a cultivator, but a wisp of Dan Fire?"

Zhulong Linghuo immediately shouted angrily:

"Who told you that Dan Fire can't be cultivated and advanced? Although I am only a wisp of Dan Spiritual Fire now, as long as I practice diligently, one day I may not be inferior to those unusual Immortal Emperors, and I can also become an Immortal Spiritual Fire that burns the sky and boils the sea."

"Then you swear by the Dao Heart Oath."

Mo Hei had heard of this before, and when he heard what Zhulong Linghuo said, he just went along with it.

Upon hearing this, Zhulong Linghuo swore without hesitation:

"I, the Candle Dragon Spirit Flame, swear here with my Daoist heart that if this child opens this Heavenly Furnace of Creation, I will release him without mercy and will not harm his life. If I break this oath, I will never be able to ascend to the ranks of the Immortal Flames for the rest of my life."

"So this seemingly ordinary, shabby alchemy furnace is actually some kind of Creation Heavenly Furnace?"

After hearing this, Mo Hei's heart finally settled down. He looked at the cauldron again, his eyes shining, and looked at it closely.

Come to think of it, since this alchemy furnace can trap the Candle Dragon Spirit Fire and make it difficult for it to escape, it is definitely not an ordinary thing.

What puzzled Mo Hei deeply was that if this thing was so extraordinary, why did it have no immortal spirit at all and was no different from any ordinary thing?

"Don't be so delusional, you kid. This Heavenly Creation Furnace is not something you can refine and subdue."

Zhulong Linghuo poured cold water on him without hesitation and urged:

"I have already made a Dao Heart Vow. Why don't you open this alchemy furnace quickly? When will you open it?"
