Chapter 1022
Ying Chengyu was chatting with the elders of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain while on the way. It has not been long that he has arrived but those elders have already come here to pick him up so that they can go travel all around the island.
Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei has been arranged to live in a cavern. Although it is a cavern, the room inside is very cozy, it is filled with a very comfortable warmth. Those who cultivate fire will truly obtain great benefits living inside this cavern.
Xiao Yuemei took out her small mirror and said : “Brother, Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain surely have a very large energy source. Do you want to go check it out?”
Xiao Yuemei is a very curious person and she is also someone who loves to take risk very much. She is very interested about Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain. Since now they are inside a cavern inside the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain, if they want to infiltrate and probe the volcano, it will be very easy. Originally, Qin Yun was also very curious but he now doesn’t want to to go. But with Xiao Yuemei beside him asking to go, he can’t help but agree.
“Fine, I will accompany you to go look!” Qin Yun said with smile, then lightly pinched Xiao Yuemei’s face.
“Hmph.. clearly you already wanted to go!” Xiao Yuemei said with smile.
“He he he.. just wait a bit, we will leave together!” Qin Yun laughed : “We will have to conceal ourselves, otherwise if some accidents occur, it will be very troublesome.”
“I know that!” Xiao Yuemei shook her small mirror and said with giggle : “Brother, my mirror can detect the direction of the energy source, I am going to take a look, not destroy it!”
Xiao Yuemei is very impatient, while sitting on the table, she is swaying her legs. She is eating fruits and waiting for nightfall.
“Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain is a Nine Sun Sect. The strongest Nine Sun Sects are in the Divine Desolate. Nine Sun Sect’s inheritance cover the whole Nine Desolate. The fact that Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain can transform into one of the Nine Sun Sect’s lair, there must be some special reason!” Xiao Yuemei said.
“You mean to say that the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain has some connection with the Suns?” Qin Yun said in amazement.
“Extremely likely! Nine Sun Sects are very mysterious, it’s a pity that one of them has been wiped out! According to legend, Nine Sun Sects consisted of nine lines of inheritance, now one of them has been cut, only eight lines remain.” Xiao Yuemei said.
“Could there be some secrets hidden inside the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain?” Qin Yun is even more curious now.
“Maybe. However, Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain’s inheritance has something to do with this volcano. We will know after we go take a look.” Xiao Yuemei said.
Qin Yun closed his eyes and sensed the warm current inside the cavern, then said : “The energy here is indeed very strange. It contains a very dense power of the Sun. However, this power is not at all easy to absorb.”
“Not only it is not easy to absorb this energy, it is basically impossible! To absorb this energy inside Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain, we will either need a special cultivation method or a special formation.” Xiao Yuemei said.
Qin Yun has Nine Sun Divine Soul, yet he can only absorb this energy with great difficulty. Xiao Yuemei doesn’t have that item so she can not absorb this energy.
Night time, everyone is already resting, it is unlikely for Xu Lun and others to suddenly arrive at this time. Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei waited until very late night and then began their operation. Since they are already in a cavern, so long as they go deeper, they can arrive in the center of the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain. The center of the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain must be empty because the flame comes out of the empty space and sprays out of the hole at the top.
Qin Yun used Mysterious Penetration Divine Ability, passed through thick rock along with Xiao Yuemei to proceed towards the center area. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the center of the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain. They are right in the middle of a red flame sea. Qin Yun took out the Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet, then covered himself and Xiao Yuemei with it. Then he took out a dragon tendon rope, connected one side of it to the wall and another to the Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet, allowing it to be hung by the rope. This dragon tendon rope can become long or short under Qin Yun’s control and it can become very very long and it is very durable. With this setup, Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei will be able to return to the exact position where they first entered.
“Brother, aren’t you worried that there is some strange beast below?” Xiao Yuemei said with smile.
“If there was a strange beast, I would have already discovered it.” Qin Yun said with smile.
Xiao Yuemei is holding her mirror in one of her hands and holding onto a cavity on the inner side of the Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet with another. This can let her be suspended at the top. Although the mouth of the goblet is wide open, it is also covered by a barrier, so they won’t drop from inside the goblet into the fire. Her mirror can show Spirit Bodies in the vicinity, so if there are something nearby, she will be able to immediately tell.
“Flame is about to be sprayed out!” Qin Yun suddenly yelled.
Qin Yun let Ling Yuner release the power of Nether Sun around the Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet. This caused the flame to go past the goblet and keep the goblet steady. More than an hour later, Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei finally arrived at the bottom of the volcano, this is several thousand kilometers below ground. There is a huge golden sphere here and it’s surface is split open.
“Could it be the core of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain?” Xiao Yuemei said.
“Maybe but why is it split open? What is the reason behind this?” Qin Yun said in amazement looking at the cracks on the sphere’s body.
This core is very big, about several kilometers wide. It’s surface is flickering with golden light. This core trembles from time to time and while trembling, a huge amount of flame sprays out through the cracks on it’s surface and rush upwards. It is very hot here. Luckily, Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet can resist the heat.
Ling Yuner suddenly said : “Xiao Yun, this is a Star core! I don’t know how but it has been sealed here to be used as energy source! This is a very high quality Star core but now it has become unstable.”
Xiao Yuemei is firmly holding onto her mirror, her hands are unceasingly trembling.
“Brother, I sense that this core will explode very soon! At that time, the Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain will be done for!” Xiao Yuemei suddenly yelled.
“Yuemei, are you sure?” Qin Yun deeply inhaled mouthful of air and said : “If it is true, then we should quickly go tell senior Xu!”
“I have Time martial spirit, I can only vaguely foresee a near future. So I am not sure exactly when this volcano will explode.” Xiao Yuemei anxiously said : “We should go up without delay, this core will explode very soon.”
“Then Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain will indeed be finished?” Qin Yun exclaimed in admiration as he spoke.
“Indeed, we should quickly go inform senior Xu.” Xiao Yuemei said.
“Alright.” Qin Yun nodded.
Qin Yun controlled the dragon tendon rope to make it shrink at very high speed, causing the Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet to rush upwards at a very high speed. More than an hour later, they arrived back at their cavern room.
“Yuemei, can you be certain as to when it will explode?” Qin Yun asked.
“I will give it a try… I am not very adept at using the Time martial spirit. It is just that the martial spirit automatically warns me when danger is approaching.” Xiao Yuemei closed her eyes, her eyebrows are tightly knitted. Qin Yun is patiently waiting beside her.
Currently it is very late at night but outside is still very bright. Because Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain sprays out flame from time to time which illuminates the whole Flame Sun Island. All the residents of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain are either resting or cultivating, none of them know the actual situation of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain.
Xiao Yuemei opened her eyes early in the morning. She said with grave expression : “After four days, the core of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain will erupt and release berserk energy. It will cause the whole volcano to explode, the island will also be destroyed.”
“I have the Heaven and Earth Devil Sealing Goblet. Even if there is such explosion, we will be fine but other people will surely die!” Qin Yun said with frown : “If Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain is finished, who will lead the other Nine Sun Sects to construct the Starry Sky Road?”
“If Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain begins evacuation now, there will still be time. Quickly go inform senior Xu!” Xiao Yuemei said.
“Alright!” Qin Yun hastily left the room.
Xu Lun is sitting in the reception hall, he saw Qin Yun appear and said with smile : “Pagoda master Qin, did you sleep well last night?”
He just finished speaking and saw that Qin Yun’s expression is not good and hastily asked : “Pagoda master Qin, is there something wrong? Is it because you are not accustomed to the environment?”
Qin Yun anxiously said : “Senior Xu… you won’t believe what I say but after four days, Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain will be destroyed!”
Xu Lun is stunned hearing this, then he said with smile : “Pagoda master Qin, this is still early in the morning, you should not joke like this.”
Xiao Yuemei said with grave expression : “Senior Xu, I am not joking, this is the truth! I can foresee the future… do you still remember how I defeated Xu Xiaoba? It is because I can foresee the future! Of course, I can not see whatever I want, I can merely see a few moments in the near future, especially when great danger is about to come in near future!”
The smile on Xu Lun’s face suddenly disappeared. His expression gradually became grave as he said : “Two friends, you are really not joking?”
Currently Xu Lun has great trust in Qin Yun.
“We would never joke about this matter! Senior Xu, I ask that you quickly discuss this matter with other elders and begin evacuating Flame Sun Island.” Qin Yun said.
“The Flame Sun Island will be destroyed at that time. There are many people on the island, you should be very quick!” Xiao Yuemei said in urgency.
“Alright, I will go immediately. Will you two also come with me?” Xu Lun said.
“We will!” Qin Yun nodded.
Qin Yun has already seen the cracks on the volcano core, they were not fake. Ling Yuner also said that the core is very unstable and will erupt very soon.
Xu Lun brought along Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei and left that cavern. They left for the sect master’s residence, which is a huge cavern at a high place on the volcano. Xu Lun is also very confused about the matter of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain being destroyed. On the road he sent sound transmission to many elders and core disciples, telling them to come to the main hall to discuss this matter. Since the matter is urgent, sect master and other elders arrived very quickly. Xu Lun also hastily informed everyone about the matter of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain being destroyed.
The sect master of Flame Sun Heavenly Mountain is a highly robust old man with big beard. He laughed loudly and said : “Old Xu, quickly talk about the urgent matter, don’t make jokes!”
Other people are also laughing, nobody believes Xu Lun.
