Chapter 1213 Xumi Cave



Wisps of splendid starlight drifted in the air, creating an illusion-like backdrop for the Broken Blade. Coupled with its sacred and ethereal aura, it was akin to a masterpiece of heaven.

In Lin Xun’s mind sea, a mysterious dao rune array emerged—ancient, obscure and vast, sketching out the word ‘Yuan.’[1]

One stroke after another appeared like markings of the great dao.

It was the Yuan Word Inheritance of the Dao Rune Array, which was a mysterious method for controlling the Broken Blade.

Without it, Lin Xun would not had been able to grasp and manipulate such an incredible and heaven-defying blade all these years as he pleased.

As the Broken Blade absorbed the power of the green gourd vine, a rush of tremendous inheritance power filled Lin Xun mind-sea like before.

It was a new dao rune array—dense, boundless and obscure as it constantly changed and evolved in Lin Xun’s mind-sea.

Finally, it evolved into the word ‘extreme!’

Boom!

Suddenly, Lin Xun felt his mind-sea shake as the inheritance power surged like a vast ocean.

Numerous profound and obscure insights appeared in Lin Xun’s mind-sea like he had been enlightened, leaving a mark behind.

It could only be understood but not expressed. This was wonderful beyond words.

“It turns out that this is a secret art that activates the power of the Broken Blade, focusing on how to deal with enemies with ‘extreme’ power…”

Lin Xun’s mind suddenly cleared up at once as though he had achieved enlightenment.

As early as when he obtained the Yuan Word Inheritance, he had already realized that the Broken Blade inheritance was divided into four parts. But it was only now that he received the second part by chance.

Extreme!

The Yuan Word Inheritance is a basic method for operating the Broken Blade.

The Extreme Word Inheritance controls the blade from a higher level and focuses on how to maximize the power of the Broken Blade!

Lin Xun’s countenance changed.

Such a divine weapon has so many obscure features and mysterious details, and it even needs inheritance power that complements it to unleash its true power.

I have to say that this is rarely seen!

……

Inside the stone tower, the atmosphere was still and silent.

All eyes were fixed on the Broken Blade as they watched it release dazzling brilliance and continuously absorb the power contained within the gourd vine.

But from beginning to end, no one noticed that, in this process, through a lucky encounter, Lin Xun had obtained an inheritance related to the extreme secrets of the Broken Blade.

Of course, Lin Xun would not tell them about such a secret.

Pu!

Before long, with a muffled noise, the gourd vine, which had long flopped down, withered and browned, disintegrated into ashes, along with its roots.

A fist-sized hole was left in the ground.

Yet many people felt their spine tingle at the sight of this inconspicuous hole.

Suddenly, Zhen Yunfeng grunted and his face blanched. He had just released his spirit sense into the ground and encountered a terrifying engulfing force.

If he hadn’t made the prompt decision to cut off his spirit sense, his spirit likely would have been engulfed!

Seeing this, others did not dare to act rashly.

“Let me try.”

As if he sensed something, Toady picked up a bone dripping with blood and tossed it into the hole in the ground.

An astonishing scene followed. The bone seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, growing smaller and smaller and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Everyone’s expression changed, but Toady smiled and said to Lin Xun, “This is a natural Xumi Cave. It looks like it is only the size of a fist, but it is actually as vast as an abyss!”

His golden eyes glittered as though he was ready to act. “The root system of the gourd vine that gave birth to the Alpha Dao Fire grew from this Xumi Cave. Imaginably, there are many more opportunities and fortunes to be found inside!”

Everyone’s eyes brightened.

Ji Xingyao couldn’t help but ask, “What if there is hidden danger inside?”

Her question took Toady aback for a moment before he answered, “If you want to get your hands on fortunes, then you have to take risks. But if you are afraid, you can just wait here.”

Ji Xingyao was as stunning and elegant as a fairy in a painting, but he spoke without a hint of politeness to her.

Everyone else was a little surprised, thinking that he was too arrogant.

“If it weren’t for me, do you think Lin Xun would come to save you?” Ji Xingyao questioned him calmly.

She had already experienced his arrogance before so she would not lose her temper over his bluntness.

Toady looked startled.

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Xun stopped him and said irritably, “Okay, let’s get started.”

As expected, Toady kept quiet.

Everyone had a weakness. Toady might be an extremely proud and arrogant guy who dared to reprimand Fairy Ji, but he was very docile in front of Lin Xun, which surprised everyone else.

Swoosh!

Without any hesitation, Toady was the first to run into the Xumi Cave. His figure shrank and shrank until he vanished into the depths of the Xumi Cave like a tiny ant.

Seeing this, the others followed.

Even if other cultivators saw this scene, they likely would struggle to believe that a hole around the size of a fist would be like an underground cave.

Boom!

The Xumi Cave was a fiery-red world. Everything had been burned to nothing and only a volcano stood tall, spitting tongues of flames into the sky and roaring like thunder.

Lin Xun and the others immediately felt their skin burning like they were in a cauldron.

Even if they activated all their strengths, they could only just barely withstand the heat, but not dispel it!

“That’s…”

Soon, their eyes were drawn to the lone volcano in the distance, and a look of shock washed over their faces.

A volcano stood in the world like a huge furnace burning everything. The terrifying destructive aura it emitted seemed capable of destroying the world.

But what shocked everyone the most was that erupting from the volcano was not lava, but instead Dao Fire!

Some Dao Fire were shaped like celestial phoenixes and could launch millions of beautiful fire clouds with a flap of their wings.

Some Dao Fire were shaped like ancient trees. Their swaying branches and leaves burned constantly and spewed out waterfalls of fire rainbows.

Some Dao Fire took the form of beautiful colorful blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes and hooks and with a clang, produced monstrous flames.

There were even flames that evolved into the writing of the great dao but only for a fleeting moment!

Every one of those fires was a true Origin Dao Fire that was very rarely seen in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

But in this world, they were not uncommon!

“Heavens…” Zhan Luxiu’s voice trembled, and his eyes widened, as if he was witnessing a miracle.

The others were also in a trance-like state.

When they were in the tomb world, they had found some Origin Dao Fire and although the number was not amazing, it was enough for them to fill them with joy.

But compared with the scene before them, it was not worth mentioning at all.

“Wow, this damn thing is definitely a great heaven-defying fortune!” Toady exclaimed.

Even Lin Xun couldn’t remain calm.

Who would believe that under the inconspicuous Xumi Cave would be a sight that would make any king go crazy?

In particular, Lin Xun had a strong feeling that he could find the Origin Dao Fire he wanted here!

Swoosh!

Zhan Luxiu was the first to take action. He had yet to obtain an Origin Dao Fire so he was eyeing on the purple dao fire shaped like a battle blade.

However, as he soared into the air and planned to move closer to the volcano in the distance, an illusory flame figure appeared out of nowhere to block his path!

Everyone’s pupils shrank.

At the same time, the flame figure spoke aloud, “The dao fire never ceases; the great dao is eternal. The fact that you all reached here proved you are qualified to obtain the Dao Fire, but...if you want to own a Dao Fire, you must first pass us first!”

The voice was empty, without a shred of emotion.

As soon as the voice faded, forty-eight more flame figures appeared in an orderly manner behind the first flame figure.

Each figure’s aura was powerful and boundless, filling the world with an oppressive atmosphere. They were akin to gods of war standing in formation in the void.

“Damn it, I knew fortunes are not so easy to come by,” cursed Toady.

Everyone’s expression grew serious.

The aura coming from the forty-nine flame figures alone was enough to suppress them. Imaginably, they all possessed formidable strength.

“Dare I ask who you are?” asked Lin Xun.

He studied the flame figures and felt that they were not real living beings.

Sure enough, the leader of the flame figures replied, “We all are transformed by laws, and our purpose is to guard this place. Each of you has one chance to challenge us. If you fail the test, it means you are not fated with the dao fire of this place.”

It dawned on everyone.

If they wanted to move closer to the volcano and seize the Dao fire, they must first defeat the forty-nine flame figures that were transformed by laws!

“Can we attack in groups?” Toady shouted.

The flame figure leader’s empty voice rang again. “If so, each of you will be attacked by forty-nine fire warriors.”

Si!

Everyone inhaled sharply. If everyone was encircled by forty-nine fire warriors, then the chance of winning would be very slim.

Toady chuckled awkwardly, “Hey, don’t take it seriously, I was just joking.”

The fire warriors maintained a cold and indifferent expression, completely dismissing Toady.

“I’ll start!”

Zhan Luxiu could not wait any longer. Taking a deep breath, he brought out a big black spear and unleashed a frightening might.

Boom!

He stepped into the air and charged forward. A sweep of his big spear set off thousands of waves.

At the same time, the first Fire Warrior also acted. With astonishing speed, a flame sword flashed out of its sheath to meet the attack head-on.

What amazed Lin Xun and the others was that the fire warriors were in no way weaker than supreme kings.

The only thing that brought them a sense of ease was that the other fire warriors stood indifferently and did not attack together.

One had to defeat the forty-nine fire warriors one by one to reach the volcano successfully and obtain their desired Dao Fire!

However, even if they understood the task, they knew that the danger and pressure they would have to face in order to defeat the fire warriors that were comparable to Supreme Kings would be more than normal!
