Chapter 208 - True Fire Pond
The night was dark.
"Whoos.h.!.+" "Whiz!" "Whiz!"
In the shadow of the Dragon Spring Ancient Town, Tang Huan, Mu Yan and Gu Ying were like arrows that had left their bowstrings as they flew quickly between the ruins.
Even now, after a few hours, Tang Huan and Mu Yan still had some lingering shock in their hearts.
The item Gu Ying took out was also the "Fire Spirit Sword Key"!
Lu Chen had just s.n.a.t.c.hed the first "Fire Spirit Sword Key" from Zhang Ye, and Gu Ying immediately followed up with the second "Fire Spirit Sword Key", it was too much of a coincidence!
With the two sword keys, he would be able to fully open the spring.
This meant that at that time, he could capture all the "True Fire Spirit Fountain" in the spring. The Sword Crafting Valley had been abandoned for dozens of years, and in the True Fire Pond, flames were still burning. The amount of "True Fire Spirit Spring Water" acc.u.mulated inside the spring, had probably reached an extremely shocking level.
When he thought about that kind of situation, not only Tang Huan and his wife, but even Gu Ying himself was extremely excited.
And only after Tang Huan asked Gu Ying, did he find out that the reason he came to Dragon Spring Ancient Town and was besieged by the vengeful spirits was because of the "Fire Spirit Sword Key".
Back then, outside the Phoenix Spirit Valley, those Martial Warriors s who had been searching for Tang Huan and Mu Yan for a long time had no results, but they had still dispersed gradually. He, Gu Fei, and Tang Si had also followed a group of Star Ocean Commerce s back to the Phoenix City. At that time, he had indeed planned to return to the Glory Continent with Gu Fei, Tang Si and the others.
However, the day before he was about to leave, he encountered a group of n.o.ble clan Disciples who had come over from the Great Tang Empire"s G.o.d-down City to train, such as s.h.i.+ Qian, Tang Chen, Long Heng, w.a.n.g Xi, and Lu Jian.
Gu Ying knew all of these people, but the person Gu Ying was the most familiar with was Long Heng. s.h.i.+ Qian was the son of a great general, Tang Chen was the son of a great Dragoneer, and Long Heng was also born into a powerful family in the G.o.d-down City.
Gu Ying did not care about the group of young masters and young misses who treated training as a pleasure at the moment.
But that night, Long Heng sneakily came to him and showed him the "Fire Spirit Sword Key" that he had stolen from his home. He invited him to come to the Sword Crafting Valley to see if he could get the "True Fire Spirit Spring".
With regards to the "True Fire Spirit Spring", which Martial Warriors would not be moved?
Gu Ying, who managed to condense the third stage of Spiritual Wheel and advance to Stage Six Martial Master in less than two days, was no exception. Long Heng also clearly knew that it would be very dangerous for someone like them to enter Sword Crafting Valley, who was raised by a spoiled child and had almost no actual combat experience.
Therefore, when he met the familiar and powerful Gu Ying, Long Heng immediately sent him an invitation.
On the second day, Gu Ying joined their ranks and entrusted Gu Fei to Tang Si, requesting him to bring him back to Furious Waves City. After all, Gu Fei carried two phoenix feathers on his body and told her to return alone, so Gu Ying was not at ease.
Leaving Phoenix City, heading to Dragon Spring Town, along the way, nothing unexpected happened.
Once they reached Dragon Spring Town, how could they not go to Dragon Spring Ancient Town?
Although they had brought many guards with them in the first place, for safety"s sake, that group of n.o.ble family"s Disciples s still hired dozens of Martial Warriors s. After arriving at Dragon Spring Ancient Town, he did not even encounter a single vengeful spirit. In the end, he had easily made his way out of Sword Crafting Valley. After that, Gu Ying and Long Heng quietly left the group and headed towards the "True Fire Pool".
After some experimentation, he realized that the "Fire Spirit Sword Key" could not open the spring at all. The two of them were disappointed, but just as they were about to return, a number of vengeful spirits rushed out from Sword Crafting Valley. The two fought with all their might and finally broke out of the encirclement. They successfully escaped back to meet up with everyone.
After working together to chase away the vengeful spirits that had followed them, this group of people who had never experienced any sort of training actually had whimsical thoughts of continuing their journey towards the Sword Crafting Valley.
Unfortunately, before they could even think about what to do, more specters had already appeared and surrounded the group. The Martial Warriors s that were invited had a lot of experience, most of them had already escaped before the specters arrived.
Everyone charged out as if their lives depended on it. On the way, the number of people became fewer and fewer, even Long Heng himself was torn apart by the vengeful spirit. Gu Ying also conveniently picked up his "Fire Spirit Sword Key".
Not long after that, Gu Ying, s.h.i.+ Qian and the rest who were on the verge of complete annihilation were saved by Tang Huan.
Now that he had returned to Dragon Spring Ancient Town, Gu Ying was already feeling a lot more at ease. It was not only because he had the "Soul Devouring Pearl", but also because his companions were Tang Huan and Mu Yan.
After nightfall, the ancient town looked even more sinister and terrifying.
However, just like last time, there was still not a single vengeful spirit seen in the ancient town. The three of them didn"t stop walking along the way.
After a long time, a faint flame flashed in the darkness in front of him.
The further they went, the brighter the ball of fire became.
After speeding forward for a while, a large stone tablet building faintly entered his line of sight. On the tablet building, the words "Sword Crafting Valley" could be vaguely seen.
Tang Huan, Mu Yan and Gu Ying finally slowed down and became even more cautious.
Seeing this memorial tower meant that they had already pa.s.sed through the ancient town of Longquan, and had truly stepped into the domain of the Sword Crafting Valley. There were no vengeful spirits in Dragon Spring Ancient Town, which meant that all of the vengeful spirits were already gathered in Sword Crafting Valley. Although he did not know the reason, it was definitely not a good thing.
The gathered specters were even more dangerous than the scattered specters.
"Mu Yan."
Tang Huan looked at Mu Yan in the blink of an eye.
Mu Yan tacitly understood, and already held the "Soul Devouring Orb" in his hand.
The light became brighter and brighter. In front of them could vaguely see the flickering of flames, while the surrounding vegetation became increasingly spa.r.s.e and short. After a hundred meters, all the plants had disappeared, and the scene became clear within their line of sight.
Several hundred meters away, on the third level of Pang Shuo"s round altar, an enormous ball of flame soared into the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime.
The round altar was smaller and smaller, and each layer was about two meters tall. The wide staircase extended upwards, from the ground to the top floor. From afar, the round altar looked crystal clear, as if it was carved out of an incomparably large piece of jade.
The center area of the top floor of the round altar seemed to have been dug into a semi-spherical deep pool. The deepest part was actually close to the ground. At the bottom of the pool, he could vaguely see a round red ball that was even darker in color. The flame seemed to have risen up from the ball of fire as it shot out of the deep pool and reached a height of dozens of meters. The entire round altar was illuminated by the flames as it turned red and appeared sparkling and translucent like jade.
"True Fire Pond!"
Tang Huan"s heart jumped, he was actually excited.
The red ball at the bottom of the round pond was definitely the fire seed of the "True Fire". It could be said to be the source of the Tools Method on this continent, and also the reason why the Human Clan was so strong.
It was precisely because of its existence that countless Weapon Refiner had appeared one after another over the countless years.
It was also because of its existence that the Human Clan was able to forge all kinds of powerful weapons, and contend against the two great races, Demon Clan and Tian Clan.
