Chapter 1191 The Secret of the Totem Copper Pillar
Inside the Divine Fire Tempering Hall.
Wu Yan stood at the entrance of the hall, looking around the hall, observing everything in the hall.
The entire Divine Fire Tempering Hall is a huge rectangular hall, with walls made of black stone on all four sides. There is nothing on both sides, and there is only a straight corridor in the middle that is 30 feet wide, leading to the altar of the God of Fire in the depths of the hall.
On both sides of the corridor, there are twelve ancient huge copper pillars.
These twelve copper pillars are arranged on both sides of the corridor, six on each side, and the distance between each pillar is about 30 feet. Each copper pillar is about 10 feet thick and 30 feet high, supporting the huge dome of the hall.
On the six copper pillars on the left, the six Yang Fire Heavenly Spirits, namely the Divine Fire Crow, the Divine Fire Bull, the Divine Fire Phoenix, the Three-legged Crow, the Fire Kirin, and the Holy Beast Vermillion Bird, are engraved one by one.
The six copper pillars on the right are engraved with the six kinds of Yin Fire Heavenly Spirits, namely, the Nether Fire Crow, the Nether Fire Bull, the Nether Fire Phoenix, the Nine Nether Three-legged Crow, the Nether Fire Kirin, and the Nine Nether Vermillion Bird.
On the central dome, there is a picture of the twelve Yin and Yang Fire Spirits leading the spirits of all the fires in the world to worship the Fire God Zhurong. It is lifelike and gives people a sense of being there. Looking at this dome painting, it is as if witnessing the ancient scene of the Fire God commanding the world with fire and proving the truth.
Behind the Fire God Altar, there stands a bronze statue of the Fire God Zhurong, who is majestic without anger and has a dignified posture that makes people admire him.
The entire Divine Fire Tempering Hall is empty except for this.
The four walls are made of unknown black stone, which is dark and glittering, giving people a sense of heaviness and vicissitudes, and also a kind of indestructible and unbreakable solemnity.
Some people have tried it, and the walls of this hall are indeed extraordinary. Even if the immortal treasures bombard it, no trace can be left on it. Therefore, there is no way that there will be any writings left by ancient explorers on it.
Wu Yan's eyes repeatedly scanned the entire hall, hoping to find some ways to help him cross tens of thousands of miles of sea of fire and enter the core area through meticulous observation.
In the hall, in addition to Wu Yan, there were many other strange monks from all sides. Including Wu Yan, there were exactly twelve people. The twelve people did not know each other, so no one talked.
Others' thoughts were the same as Wu Yan's, and they were also searching carefully, but unfortunately they also found nothing.
The time that everyone could stay in this sea of fire world was only one day, so they naturally did not dare to waste a bit of time.
Soon, some people became anxious because they had gained nothing, and their eyes looking at the altar of the God of Fire and the totem copper pillars on both sides of the corridor had already revealed an unconcealable greed.
Since this is where the Emperor of Divine Martial Arts used divine fire to temper his martial arts body, it is reasonable to say that everything in this Divine Fire Tempering Hall should be a treasure.
These totem copper pillars, as well as the altar and bronze statues of the God of Fire, may contain some ancient secrets.
One of them was over ten feet tall, and his aura showed that his body cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Yuan Body. He believed that he was extremely powerful, and he actually laughed a few times, shook his whole body, and turned into several feet tall. He held one of the copper pillars with his arms, exhaled and shouted, trying to pull the copper pillar up and carry it away so that it would be easier to put it in his pocket.
The other people in the hall saw this scene with different expressions.
But someone sneered, and said in a rather sarcastic tone: "The reckless man doesn't know how to live or die, and actually wants to take away the three-legged crow totem copper pillar! Don't you think about it? These things have been displayed in the Divine Fire Tempering Martial Hall for who knows how many years. Have they ever been taken away? There are quite a few greedy reckless men who have been burned by the Divine Fire."
Wu Yan looked at the sneer, and saw that the man was a burly middle-aged man, with a martial arts aura all over his body, and he was not much inferior to Mu Feng. His cultivation was obviously not low. Moreover, he was also a Dharma body cultivator, and his immortal cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Mahayana, which should not be underestimated.
The burly middle-aged man's eyes fell on the ground next to the copper pillar held by the strong man.
Wu Yan also looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that there was a layer of fine black ash on the ground, which was difficult to detect if you didn't look carefully.
And based on Wu Yan's experience, those fine ashes were definitely not ordinary things. They were definitely the ashes left by cultivators who had reached a certain level of physical strength and were burned by the Divine Fire.
He had obtained a large amount of immortal black bones in a secret room in the Fire God Immortal Medicine Valley. Those immortal black bones were all the bones left after the fierce beasts or monks were burned by the immortal fire.
These ashes must have been burned by the divine fire, otherwise they would never appear in the form of fine ash.
Sure enough, after the burly middle-aged man sneered, before the stupid man holding the pillar had time to get angry, a faint flame suddenly burst out of the copper pillar he was holding without any warning from the three-legged crow pattern on the copper pillar and fell on the stupid man.
The stupid man holding the pillar was shocked, his eyes widened in fear, and he didn't even have time to scream. In the blink of an eye, he was burned into black ash, which fell down and spread on the previous fine ash.
When everyone saw this scene, several people subconsciously quickly moved away from the copper pillar and never dared to approach it again.
The burly middle-aged man who laughed at the fool holding the pillar walked straight forward, picked up the storage treasure that the fool dropped and was not burned, wiped off the traces of the soul on it, and put it in his own pocket.
When he did this, his eyes swept around the people around him with a meaningful look, as if he was looking at whether there would be other people like this fool.
Although the other people in the hall were very annoyed by the burly middle-aged man's behavior, no one dared to say much. The cultivation of this burly middle-aged man, whether it is the cultivation of the immortal way or the realm of the martial arts, is the highest among all people.
When his eyes swept over Wu Yan, he showed a hint of sarcasm, and even muttered undisguisedly.
"There are really many people who don't know how to live or die. It's really funny that they dare to enter the Shenwu Emperor's cave house for adventure with only the initial stage of fusion and the seventh stage of Yuanti."
After muttering this sentence, he didn't look at Wu Yan again, but followed the original path again and carefully checked the second totem copper pillar on the right.
Wu Yan's cultivation aura was not intentionally hidden. Indeed, as this person saw, his current cultivation realm was only the initial stage of fusion and the seventh stage of Yuanti.
Although his origin was fully restored after the injury, his cultivation realm could not be restored in a short time. Moreover, in order to paralyze other opponents, he did not plan to fully recover outside when entering the Shenwu Emperor's cave house for adventure.
Wu Yan seemed not to have heard the words of the burly middle-aged man. His eyes swept under the twelve copper pillars and all of them, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
He found that there were fine black ashes under the twelve copper pillars. However, it may be due to the different power of the flames. The fine ashes under some copper pillars are larger but not much, while the fine ashes under some copper pillars are smaller, but a thick layer.
However, because the floor of the hall is also dark black, it is difficult to detect the existence of these fine ashes without careful observation.
Wu Yan walked to the side of the fire crow totem copper pillar, squatted down, picked up a small handful of fine ashes with his index and middle fingers, rubbed them carefully between his fingers, and then put them on the tip of his nose to smell.
Wu Yan frowned and found that these bone particles and fine ashes left by the body refiners or martial body cultivators were actually lifeless and vitalityless, like dead ashes.
Thinking of the immortal black bones collected in the Fire God Immortal Medicine Valley, and the miraculous ointment that could heal broken limbs and whiten bones made from those immortal black bones, Wu Yan felt that the bone particles burned by the divine fire should be more powerful than those immortal black bones.
However, what he never expected was that these bone particles were completely lifeless.
"Boy, do you think that these corpses burned by the divine fire can still be used as materials for divine-level elixirs? Hahaha, the vitality and Yuanli in these ashes have long been burned by the divine fire. They are just the most ordinary dead ashes."
A body refiner with the peak cultivation of the eighth level of Yuanti happened to walk to Wu Yan's side at this moment. Seeing Wu Yan's strange behavior, he couldn't help but laugh.
When the other people in the hall heard the laughter, they couldn't help but glance over here. Seeing Wu Yan's behavior, they all showed mockery.
"So that's it!"
A voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
The one who spoke was the burly middle-aged man from before. His palm was seen stroking the second Nether Fire Bull Totem copper pillar on the right, as if he had discovered something.
Suddenly, a ball of blue flame appeared on the palm of this person, covering the entire palm.
After the flame appeared, the temperature within a radius of dozens of feet around him suddenly dropped to the extreme. A cultivator who was closer to him was almost frozen into an ice stick because he could not bear the cold fire power.
Fortunately, he sensed it in time and staggered out, thus escaping the disaster. He looked at the burly middle-aged man with lingering fear, his eyes full of fear, and whispered: "He actually has the Taiyin True Fire! And the fire power has reached the level of the second level of the god level. It's too scary. Fortunately, I dodged quickly!"
In the hall, everyone was a person with high cultivation. Even if they were just mumbling, how could they hide it from everyone's ears and eyes. His voice was heard by everyone, and everyone looked at the burly middle-aged man with fear.
The second-level divine Taiyin True Fire was indeed shocking. Because everyone knew that the Yin and Yang Fires owned by Sun Zhenren, the first alchemy master in the fairy world, were all divine flames. It is said that the Yin Fire owned by Sun Zhenren was also Taiyin True Fire, and the fire power reached the extremely terrifying third level.
However, Sun Zhenren was already in the realm of Nine Tribulations Void Immortal after all, and the man in front of him was only in the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation, but he already had this second-level divine Taiyin True Fire. How could it not be shocking and fearful?
The burly middle-aged man smiled indifferently without comment, and was even more disdainful of the other people around him.
However, with the appearance of the second-level Taiyin True Fire flame in his hand, a group of the same dark blue flames suddenly spurted out from the Nether Fire Bull Totem, and in the flames, a fist-sized bull-shaped fire spirit poked its head out.
After the fist-sized bull-shaped fire spirit appeared, the temperature of the entire hall instantly dropped to a more terrifying level. The other cultivators who had wanted to continue exploring, once they sensed that the entire hall was about to be frozen and burned, were terrified and fled out of the hall at the fastest speed.
Even Wu Yan showed a trace of surprise on his face.
However, he did not leave the hall, but continued to squat beside the first fire crow totem copper pillar on the left, with a faint aura flashing all over his body. The power of the Taiyin True Fire that was originally pressing towards him was suddenly forced away by a layer of invisible power around him, and could no longer get close.
His eyes, like the eyes of the dozen cultivators at the entrance of the hall, all looked at the bull-shaped fire spirit next to the palm of the burly middle-aged man.
