"You can teach me the methods for cultivating Strange Fires?"
Ye Yunfei was slightly surprised upon hearing the words of the red-clad woman.
Ye Yunfei himself was an alchemist and had indeed already mastered some basic methods on how to cultivate Strange Fires. Moreover, he had continuously been using his Immortal Power energy and some fire-attribute treasures to cultivate the several types of Strange Fires in his possession.
"Yes. Do not doubt it. The methods for cultivating Strange Fires that I have mastered are absolutely more advanced than most of the methods in the world," the red-clad woman saw the suspicion in Ye Yunfei's eyes, nodded, and said confidently.
"I will now pass on the cultivation methods I know to you."
After speaking, the red-clad woman pointed a finger and sent a soul message containing the information into Ye Yunfei's Sea of Consciousness.
Ye Yunfei sensed it briefly and immediately revealed an expression of shock.
Because what the red-clad woman transmitted to him was indeed a highly sophisticated method for cultivating Strange Fires.
From just a quick perusal, Ye Yunfei knew that this method was indeed far more advanced than any he had previously mastered.
"Now you can use the environment at the bottom of this Magma Sea to cultivate those Strange Fires of yours. Afterwards, I will teach you how to devour these mutated flames.
This is one of the rewards I give you for helping me earlier," the red-clad woman said to Ye Yunfei.
"I thank the lady for her kindness. I accept your offer gracefully," Ye Yunfei said gratefully.
Then Ye Yunfei began to sit cross-legged, studying and practicing the methods for cultivating Strange Fires the red-clad woman had just imparted.
With a thought, six Strange Fires of different colors floated into existence around his body, rising and falling. Each Strange Fire emitted energy of a different attribute.
"You are truly fortunate to have collected so many Strange Fires!"
The red-clad woman couldn't help but exclaim softly upon seeing the six Strange Fires beside Ye Yunfei.
For an ordinary living being to collect so many Strange Fires was indeed rare.
As Ye Yunfei began cultivating his six Strange Fires at the bottom of the Magma Sea using the method taught by the red-clad woman, on the shore of the Magma Sea at the spot where Ye Yunfei and the red-clad woman had entered, a figure soared through the high sky from the distance, stepping on two rapidly spinning fire wheels before landing on the shore. His face was ashen as he surveyed the vast, unbearably hot Magma Sea before him.
It was Elder Hou!
"It looks like that dog of a man and whore of a woman have entered this Magma Sea.
Although this Magma Sea is very dangerous, that little wretch is of the Fire Clan. She likely has the ability to enter it without getting harmed!"
Elder Hou looked at the uniformly scorching Magma Sea before him and said in a low voice.
At this moment, several members of the Source Fire Sect arrived from behind, landing beside Elder Hou.
"Elder Hou, have they really entered the Magma Sea?"
A male member stepped forward and asked.
"Yes, they have entered," Elder Hou replied, his expression extremely grim.
"Elder Hou, many of our Source Fire Sect members have lost their lives to this Magma Sea.
There are many mutated flames within it, and their power is terrifying. Last time, I witnessed Manager Lu step into this Magma Sea with my own eyes, and soon after, he was swarmed by many mutated flames and burned to ashes.
I stood on the shore wanting to save him, but I lacked the ability," the man said, seeming still fearful from the experience.
"This Magma Sea is indeed one of the most dangerous treacherous zones in this Fire Realm. However, that little wretch is of the Fire Clan; she likely isn't afraid.
Because the Fire Realm in ancient times was originally the territory of the Fire Clan.
You all wait here. I will go in and investigate."
Elder Hou stared at the Magma Sea churning with intense heatwaves, hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth, made a decision, and spoke.
Elder Hou was anxious to capture the red-clad woman, so that when the several Eldest Ancestors from the headquarters arrived at the Fire Realm, he would at least have something to present.
"Elder Hou, you're going in?"
Hearing his words, the other members of the Source Fire Sect all paled.
Although Elder Hou was a Demigod, legends said that even Half-God experts who entered this Magma Sea could meet their doom. That it was known as one of the most dangerous treacherous zones in the Fire Realm was no joke.
In fact, Elder Hou had come here many times before, attempting to venture into this Magma Sea to explore for treasures. But he had always returned empty-handed.
Once, he had even been burned of all his clothes and hair by those mutated flames and nearly perished in the sea of fire. Yet now Elder Hou wanted to enter again.
"Don't worry. My strength has improved significantly. There shouldn't be any danger. You all just wait here."
Elder Hou said.
Then he began walking step by step into the Magma Sea ahead.
Boom...
As if sensing the intrusion of an unfamiliar outsider, the Magma Sea immediately reacted. The scorching magma, long since turned into a crimson-red liquid, began to boil, raising massive crimson waves that crashed into the mid-air. Then, like thick, crimson serpents, they lunged at Elder Hou.
Furthermore, terrifying Fire Energy swept in from all directions, directly engulfing Elder Hou's body.
Earlier, the only reason Ye Yunfei and the red-clad woman could step into this Magma Sea unscathed was entirely due to the protective shield formed by the precious pearl she had produced.
Otherwise, given the strengths of Ye Yunfei and the red-clad woman, they might have already been incinerated by the astonishing heat here.
However, Elder Hou was, after all, a Demigod-level expert. Moreover, the techniques and legacies he cultivated were all fire-attribute, and he had mastered many highly advanced methods for manipulating flame.
Boom...
Elder Hou performed a profound secret art of the Source Fire Sect. Nine crimson fire dragons rushed out from within his body, continuously enlarging as they coiled around his form, their mouths spewing vast amounts of flame to counter the surrounding attacks.
At the same time, five fire-attribute magical treasures flew out from within his body. One was a crimson, seven-story pagoda, which floated above his head, showering down countless illusory crimson chains of law. It was like a red umbrella unfurling, protecting Elder Hou's body.
This was a Mid-Rank Demigod treasure!
The other four were all Initial Demigod treasures. Each was activated, erupting with rolling Fire Energy and Fire Laws, hovering around Elder Hou's body to withstand the attacks of the Magma Sea.
"They say this Magma Sea was left behind after an ancient Fire Clan Deity passed away while meditating. It contains Fire Energy and Fire Laws of very high grade. If I can absorb and make them my own, it will certainly allow my strength to ascend to another level!"
Elder Hou, sensing the magma waves surging towards him like raging billows, felt great pressure in his heart, but also revealed a greedy expression.
Previously, he had come here many times, trying to break into this Magma Sea with the goal of refining and absorbing its high-level Fire Energy and Fire Laws.
Thus, Elder Hou proceeded deeper into the Magma Sea, step by step.
Meanwhile, within the Middle Heng World Cluster of the Chaotic Void Sea, there existed a world similarly filled with vast amounts of Fire Energy and Fire Laws.
This world was called the Source Flame Realm, serving as the headquarters of the Source Fire Sect.
The Source Fire Sect was a major power within the Middle Heng World Cluster and even enjoyed a certain reputation throughout the entire Chaotic Void Sea.
"How is this possible?
A surviving member of the Fire Clan was actually able to break the seal and escape!
Are you certain the news you've brought back isn't mistaken?"
On this day, deep within the headquarters of the Source Fire Sect, inside a red palace wrapped in blazing flames, a thin, emaciated elder, seemingly nothing but skin and bones, asked in a shocked voice.
Apart from this elder, three other similarly skeletal old men sat cross-legged.
These four elders were the Eldest Ancestors of the Source Fire Sect. Generally, they remained in seclusion within the forbidden area deep in the headquarters, rarely making an appearance.
Only the Sect Master and several Vice-Sect Masters of the Source Fire Sect might have the opportunity to pay their respects to these four ancestors.
A tall, imposing elder in red robes stood respectfully before the four ancestors. His surname was Mo, and he was one of the Vice-Sect Masters of the Source Fire Sect.
"The news should be true. I have a jade slip from Elder Hou; he sent a messenger to transmit the news back.
The Sect Master and the other two Vice-Sect Masters accepted an invitation from the Liu Family to discuss the recent situation in the Chaotic Void Sea. I was left here to manage the headquarters.
Upon receiving the news from Elder Hou, I dared not delay and came immediately to inform the ancestors," the red-robed elder answered respectfully.
Although this red-robed elder was a Mid-Rank Demigod, he understood that the strengths of these ancestors before him far surpassed his own, capable of instantly annihilating him. Therefore, every time he faced these four ancestors, he felt immense pressure, acting cautiously and not even daring to speak loudly.
