Chapter 1189 Monsters and Monks (Part 2) (Please subscribe and bookmark)
The collection and refining of the first spiritual fire in front of me was quite smooth, perhaps because the current area is located on the periphery of the magma star.
In this area, the probability of spiritual fire appearing is not high. If one occasionally appears, most of them are below the fourth level.
Therefore, both the strength of the guardian monsters and the number of monks are quite rare here, which is why Master Huiyuan has the confidence to move forward decisively.
As the group continues to deepen and explore above the magma stars, it can be predicted that the intensity of the competition for every fourth-order and above spiritual fire will increase linearly.
Moreover, a group of thirteen Nascent Soul stage monks were certainly very powerful and others did not dare to provoke them easily. They had enough strength to protect themselves.
But it is also attracting attention, and it is relatively difficult to hide such whereabouts. Once traces of spiritual fire are discovered, it may also attract more attention.
If the first fourth-order mid-grade spiritual fire appeared in the depths of the magma star, Master Huiyuan would definitely not make the choice he was facing. Instead, all the monks would be on guard to prevent the prying eyes of others. Absolute strength serves as an advantage to nip all hidden dangers in the bud.
"The fourth-level high-grade spiritual fire is guarded by the fourth-grade high-grade monster beasts. It is impossible to end the battle quietly and quickly. Once it attracts the attention and competition of other monks, it is impossible to end the situation easily."
"Compared to other fourth-order, middle- and low-grade spiritual fires, the competition for the only fourth-order high-grade spiritual fire is the real source of intense competition that may affect one's own life."
Along the way, Sun Mingsheng kept thinking. Naturally, the trump card in his hand that he had paid a high price for in exchange could not be used easily. Its only purpose was to save his life at a critical moment.
In fact, not only Sun Mingsheng, but also Master Huiyuan, the only late Nascent Soul monk present, all had roughly the same goal.
There is no doubt that Master Huiyuan's target is the only fourth-level high-grade spiritual fire in this trip, and it is even related to its future promotion to the divine stage, so it must contain some powerful destructive means.
Perhaps it was because their luck had been exhausted, or perhaps for other reasons. As the group of monks continued to deepen, not only did they not find a second spiritual fire, but there was not even a sign of the existence of a spiritual object.
Fortunately, the monks present were all wily and energetic old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage, and there was no fluctuation in their expressions along the way.
"Jingle Bell"
Under the scorching flames and magma, the compass, which had always been calm without any ripples, suddenly heard a crisp and sweet sound in the evening of that day.
This compass is specifically used to determine the location of the spiritual fire itself based on the breath of the spiritual fire floating between heaven and earth. The sound of the compass is usually proportional to the distance of the spiritual fire itself, that is, the closer the distance between the two parties, the The more obvious the sound is, and conversely, the smaller the various noises are.
Of course, the compass in front of you is specially designed by Tianwen Pavilion to search for spiritual fires of level 4 and above. You can make effective judgments based on the breath of the spiritual fires.
"Fellow Taoists, please come with me."
Master Huiyuan, a great monk in the late Nascent Soul stage who was originally closing his eyes and regulating his breath on a bluestone that barely avoided the erosion of magma, suddenly opened his eyes, and with a flash of light, he went straight to his location. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water without any hesitation.
The compass cannot effectively distinguish the upper, middle and lower grades of the fourth level of the spirit fire itself. The monks can be said to have the spirit of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let go of one and go straight to the location of the spirit fire, lest they encounter it. The biggest target of this trip, the fourth-order high-grade spiritual fire, passed by me.
During these days of waiting and searching, a fourth-level middle-level alchemist from Tianwen Pavilion and two escorting monks who were refining the fourth-level middle-level spiritual fire outside the magma star have successfully returned to rendezvous.
"Rumble"
Facts have proved that good luck does not permanently affect the body of a certain group. Under the leadership of Master Huiyuan, a group of sixteen monks have not yet discovered any trace of the spiritual fire, and they were the first to hear it. It’s the explosion of distance and the feeling of the heaven, earth and mountains shaking.
"Come and stop, we are monks from the Shimen sect. Today we are here to collect the spiritual fire under the order of the sect. I also ask all fellow Taoists to save face and we will repay you in the future."
Even more than ten thousand feet away from the valley where the sound of fierce fighting came from, two early Nascent Soul monks appeared to stop him and firmly blocked his path forward.
Sun Mingsheng and more than a dozen monks who came just to complete their tasks couldn't help but stop their progress after hearing this.
After all, they only have a certain degree of demand for Tianwen Pavilion itself. It is naturally not worth it to directly confront a behemoth like the Shimen Sect.
"The treasure is inhabited by the virtuous. There are endless sounds of explosions and fighting in the valley. It is obvious that the spiritual fire has not been refined yet. Although the Shimen Sect is a behemoth, we are unwilling to provoke it, but the strength of the two Taoist friends is limited. "You can't stop me from moving forward. How about you make way for me?"
Master Huiyuan had no choice but to come forward in person. Although Tianwen Pavilion was extremely powerful, it was still weak compared to Shimen Sect.
As he spoke, his aura that had been restrained in his body turned into a smoke that soared into the sky, and his identity as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was undoubtedly revealed.
The Shimen Sect is indeed a huge monster, but for some late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, as long as they can successfully hide their identities and do not leave too obvious information, they are not impossible to provoke.
It is impossible for the five Huashen stage cultivators to give up their own paths and spend a lot of time searching and hunting a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, unless the dead cultivator has the direct bloodline they value. The two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the entrance are obviously not within this range.
"We are following orders. If you want to force your way in, you will have to fight."
The first early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the valley was quite determined in his words. At the same time, he sacrificed a flying sword in his hand, which turned into a stream of light that rushed straight and hit a giant tree. At the same time, the figures of the two secretly made way for the way forward, which was also a second person.
The spiritual fire was close at hand, and the seemingly fierce and intense battle could be extinguished at any time. Master Hui Yuan naturally had no time to make extra calculations with the two Yuanying early stage cultivators who had their own ulterior motives.
"Advance to retreat, this is a good trick. As expected, any Yuanying cultivator who can survive in the white waves and sands has their own special skills."
Sun Mingsheng was quite interested in this.
