CHAPTER 1573: CHAPTER 1564: FIRE SWORD INTENT! TRAPPED IN PERIL!

When every inch of the air inside the flame cavern was just filled with red flames.

The residual heat of the red flames also surged out of the flame cavern.

Standing outside the flame cavern, the Sect Master of the Red Flame Sect, Zhao Lengfeng, couldn’t help but quickly distance himself from the flame cavern due to the sudden surge of extreme heat.

As Zhao Lengfeng refocused his gaze on the flame cavern, his heart skipped a beat. He looked towards the interior of the flame cavern and saw that the entire cavern was filled with red flames.

Zhao Lengfeng’s Reincarnation Realm aura surged within him, and his body was instantly wrapped in spiritual energy as he dashed towards the interior of the flame cavern. He intended to rescue Ye Chenfeng.

However.

As Zhao Lengfeng just stepped into the flame cavern, the burning red flames instantly ignited the spiritual energy enveloping his body. Continuing like this, if he didn’t find Ye Chenfeng soon, Zhao Lengfeng himself would be burned to death by the red flames.

The temperature of the red flames inside the flame cavern continued to climb, and Zhao Lengfeng had no idea what had just happened inside. He was forced to withdraw awkwardly from the flame cavern.

Zhao Lengfeng knew he couldn’t afford to waste any more time here. He had to inform Ancestors Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an about the situation and have them come here to rescue Ye Chenfeng.

After this thought flashed through his mind, Zhao Lengfeng immediately left the outside of the flame cavern. He pushed his speed to the limit and reached the cabin where Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an resided in the shortest possible time.

Zhao Lengfeng briefly recounted the situation inside the flame cavern to the two ancestors.

Upon hearing Zhao Lengfeng’s account, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an instructed Zhao Lengfeng to stay in the cabin to look after the Misty Cloud Array, while they immediately proceeded to the flame cavern.

When Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an arrived at the flame cavern.

They saw the red flames inside the cavern had burned to the extreme, and the scorching heat made the two at the first stage of the Nirvana Realm, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, feel uncomfortable. They couldn’t fathom why the temperature of the flames had risen so high.

Their Divine Sense probed into the flame cavern, and they vaguely sensed a trace of Ye Chenfeng’s aura, proving that Ye Chenfeng was still alive.

Logically, with Ye Chenfeng’s strength, he should have been burned to death under such high temperatures.

A flicker of brilliance crossed Qian Rong’an’s eyes, and he said, "Old man Zeng, do you remember what the ancestors said? This flame cavern existed before the Red Flame Sect was established, and our ancestors once said it might have been a training ground for ancient great powers, but they never uncovered the mysteries within."

"Now the master is still alive inside, and such a drastic change has occurred in the flame cavern. It’s likely that the master has discovered the secrets within."

Zeng Guangyuan nodded in agreement with Qian Rong’an’s hypothesis, but he still said, "Regardless of whether the master has found the secrets or not, we must rescue him now."

Qian Rong’an also agreed with Zeng Guangyuan, so the two of them immediately dashed into the flame cavern.

Upon entering the flame cavern.

The temperature inside rose once more. It seemed the flames’ temperature intensified with the strength of those who entered.

Just as Qian Rong’an and Zeng Guangyuan intended to search for Ye Chenfeng inside, the temperature of the red flames surged again, forcing them to retreat.

Outside the cavern, Qian Rong’an and Zeng Guangyuan appeared a bit disheveled, with large patches of their clothing burnt away.

Both had fluctuating expressions on their faces but could still sense a hint of Ye Chenfeng’s aura.

Qian Rong’an shook his head and sighed, "Old man Zeng, it seems we can’t save the master either. Since he’s still alive, I’m sure the master has undoubtedly discovered the secrets of the flame cavern."

"If our ancestors were correct, then this is indeed a place for ancient greats to train, and we have no part to play. Everything must rely on the master now."

Zeng Guangyuan’s face showed a trace of worry as he said, "Indeed, with the current temperature of the red flames inside the flame cavern, if we attempt to forcefully enter, we’re likely to be burned alive ourselves."

...

While Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an stood outside the flame cavern without a solution,

in the circular secret chamber beneath the flame cavern,

the intense sword intent grew stronger, and the red surface layer of a wall in front of Ye Chenfeng faded the fastest.

The voices of Old White and Old Black simultaneously echoed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind, "Fire Sword Intent? This place actually harbors Fire Sword Intent?"

Just as Old White and Old Black’s voices fell silent,

the red color on a wall in front of Ye Chenfeng completely receded.

Massive characters immediately came into view on the wall before Ye Chenfeng.

The characters were bold and powerful, with each stroke containing a faint sword intent.

The wall bore the inscription: "My name is Wang Feng, and people call me a madman. I roamed the world for thousands of years, reached the Eighth Grade Alchemist level, and comprehended the Fire Sword Intent, cultivating it to the pinnacle tenth level Fire Sword Intent."

"I’ve always preferred solitude, without sect or ties, yet trouble found me regardless. Though I escaped an ambush by dozens of powerful adversaries, my strength plummeted, and my cultivation could no longer advance."

"But having never taken a disciple in my life, I refuse to let my Fire Sword Intent and alchemy fade into oblivion. Whoever arrives here, our paths are destined to meet."

"The Fire Dragon Cauldron is my medicine cauldron, holding my life’s alchemy experiences. The path of alchemy relies on talent and perseverance; I place no strict demands on my future disciple’s alchemical aptitude."

"However, they must comprehend my Fire Sword Intent. If they fail to understand it, let them rest here eternally, for such a person is unworthy of being my disciple."

Ye Chenfeng read all the inscriptions on the wall. As for alchemy, Old White is the supreme alchemist, far superior to this Wang Feng.

Just as Ye Chenfeng pondered,

the fiery magma in the circular chamber’s surrounding channels had already reached a boiling point.

First, the fiery magma before Ye Chenfeng flowed out from the channels, forming a fiery figure. This fiery figure held a flame-forged sword.

This fiery figure’s aura matched Ye Chenfeng’s, also at the Divine Thought Realm’s third level Peak.

The fiery figure swung its flame sword without hesitation, releasing a blazing sword intent from within.

The fire-wielder slashed its sword towards Ye Chenfeng, the fierce Fire Sword Intent rushing at him with great force.

Old White Wu Fengxian immediately cautioned, "Lad, don’t underestimate it; this is the top-tier sword intent, the tenth-level Fire Sword Intent."

A massive flame Sword Qi sliced towards Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng swiftly drew the Black Xuan Sword from his back and activated his third-level Frosty Sword Intent.

The Black Xuan Sword swung with full force, "Dragon Soars Nine Heavens!"

Three white dragons charged towards the massive flame Sword Qi.

With a loud "Boom!"

Although Ye Chenfeng was invincible at the same level, his sword intent was only at the third level, whereas the fiery entity wielded a tenth-level sword intent, leaving them worlds apart.

The three white dragons dissipated, yet the flame Sword Qi remained intact.

Ye Chenfeng swiftly dodged, and the flame Sword Qi grazed past his shoulder.

The flame Sword Qi sliced through water’s energy, carving a wound on Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder.

Before Ye Chenfeng could catch his breath, the fiery magma behind him also flowed out from the channels, forming another fiery figure in the circular chamber.

Subsequently, fiery magma flowed out from both his left and right channels.

In just a few breaths’ time, four fiery figures filled the chamber.

Moreover, the fiery magma in the surrounding channels showed no signs of stopping, indicating more fiery figures would soon form.

Now Ye Chenfeng understood why Wang Feng had been called a madman. It seemed as if he intended to play him to death!
