Chapter 46: Deep Underground, Ancient Dojo

On the island, True Man Shengguang revealed the key memories of the Red Fire Dragon one by one to Hua Tiandu.

"That temple ruins should be the ancient fairy island that was sunk by the supreme master during the war between fairies and demons in the past. For some unknown reason, it sank deep underground."

"There is a group of ruined palaces on the outskirts of the ruins. As for the core area, there are still some broken restrictions guarding it."

"The Red Fire Dragon only explored the periphery for a few rounds and obtained the Pure Yang treasure - the Nine-story Golden Pagoda."

"As for the deeper depths, due to his low magical power, he was unable to dive in and explore in detail."

"We have to go there in person to find out some useful clues about the truth about the dojo."

There was a hint of curiosity in the eyes of True Man Shengguang, and it was obvious that he was very interested in the so-called ancient Taoist temple.

While the two were discussing, the island beneath their feet suddenly shook slightly, and the vibration was gradually intensifying.

"This active volcano is about to erupt!"

I don't know if it was affected by the war just now, but the active volcano that had been dormant for a long time has "woken up" again.

"It just so happens that we can follow the path of the volcanic eruption and dive into the magma layer deep underground."

"First, it allows you to absorb the fire energy. Second, you can go and explore the ancient ruins." True Man Shengguang suggested.

"Okay, then I'll follow your instructions and go take a look."

Ever since he met Li Guizhen who gave him a Taoist weapon, Hua Tiandu has been suffering from "suspicion".

I always feel that everything that happens around me is too coincidental, and this time is no exception.

But after thinking for a moment, he agreed, just to see what the trick was.

It would be nice if I could get some benefits.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

……

The island trembled, and the volcano in the distance spewed out red torrents. Some magma was scattered everywhere, and most of the magma flowed along the mountain, forming a red river, flowing all the way down, as if venting the anger of being awakened.

"The time has come! Go!"

True Man Shengguang emitted divine light all over his body, covering Hua Tiandu. He went against the red torrent and threw himself into the crater.

Standing in the holy light shield, Hua Tiandu looked at the passing Chi River, with curiosity and solemnity in his eyes.

With his magical powers, he could easily avoid ordinary magma, but the huge force generated by the moving earth's crust could easily crush him into meat paste.

As we go deeper into the earth, we see dazzling red lights everywhere and constantly twisting underground passages.

These passages became increasingly complex, extending in all directions, just like the streets in the kingdom on earth.

Some passages may even suddenly close or collapse, swallowing up everything inside, which is full of danger.

With the Red Fire Dragon's memory as a reference, True Man Shengguang sped all the way and headed directly towards his destination.

After sneaking for an unknown amount of time, Hua Tiandu discovered that the space in front of him suddenly became open. It was no longer a narrow passage, but a huge underground cave with a huge magma lake at the bottom. There seemed to be strange magma creatures moving around in the lake.

"Bang~" True Man Shengguang did not stop, and directly took Hua Tiandu into the magma lake, continuing to dive downwards, and entering a new and complicated passage.

A ball of holy light swam freely in the magma, turning left and right, diving up and down. After changing its route hundreds of times, it finally arrived at a quiet underground space.

Flying out of the lava river, Hua Tiandu saw a vast underground world, and he didn't know which layer of the abyss he had reached.

The holy light dissipated. Although he was right next to a lava river, he did not feel any heat. Instead, he felt a sense of coolness and comfort.

"There are some remaining restrictions here. It is a separate place that will not be affected by the underground environment and still retains some of the characteristics of the ancient Taoist temple."

True Man Shengguang explained while pointing into the distance.

"Look, there is a clear dividing line there, which is enough to prove that this dojo and this underground world are not from the same origin."

Following the direction indicated, Hua Tiandu indeed saw the extremely different red rock and bluish-white rock layers.

The former is the original color of the underground world, while the latter is the foundation color of the ancient Taoist temple.

The entrance to this underground world was extremely quiet, without any sign of life.

After pausing for a moment, Saint Light restrained his divine light and released an invisible light curtain that enveloped both himself and Hua Tian. In an instant, the two merged with the surrounding space, erasing all sense of existence, and then flew towards the depths of the dojo.

Along the way, they saw collapsed ancient palaces. Among the ruins, they could vaguely see some white bones and rotten broken weapons. Of course, they also saw some fire demons operating in the dark.

The Fire Demon Clan is a general term for various races living in magma. These races have strange appearances and abilities, fully demonstrating the diversity of underground creatures.

Some are shaped like monkeys, but have dense red scales on their bodies, and some are shaped like spiders, with spikes all over their bodies...

Most of these creatures are in the physical realm, and a few have reached the first or second level of supernatural power. They are all explorers who have sneaked into this place, trying to find some opportunities in the Taoist temple.

After flying for a long time, I saw a huge light curtain with no end in sight. The light curtain was glowing with countless runes flashing on it.

Saint Light issued a notice, "We are almost there. Inside this restriction is the core area of ​​the ancient Taoist temple."

After saying this, he looked at the entire ban with a gleam in his eyes.

A moment later, a fleeting hole appeared somewhere on the light curtain. True Man Shengguang immediately took action and took Hua Tiandu into the hole.

The next moment, Hua Tian felt his eyes blurred, and when he regained his vision, he was immediately attracted by a huge pillar in the sky.

The Sky Pillar at the end of the sight is wrapped in green light, making it impossible to see its true appearance, but it has a strong presence, as if it has some kind of gravity that makes people who see it reluctant to look away.

The moment he saw the Pillar of Heaven, Hua Tiandu felt a sense of artistic conception from a spiritual level.

That pillar gave him the feeling of a Valkyrie looking into the future, brave and courageous, guarding a piece of pure land.

To dispel the abnormality in his mind, Hua Tiandu looked up from the middle of the Pillar of Heaven, only to find that the Pillar of Heaven was actually broken, with a fractured top and an uneven cross-section.

The next moment, he looked at the lower half of the pillar and found a bottomless abyss.

The lower part of the Pillar of Heaven is rooted at the bottom of the abyss, and its origin cannot be seen.

The endless abyss exudes a dark atmosphere, with black clouds floating inside, changing into various ghost faces, constantly stirring the fear in one's heart.

After taking a look, Hua Tiandu withdrew his gaze from the abyss and instead looked around. Only then did he realize that within a thousand miles, all existence had been completely wiped out and turned into nothingness.

And that pillar of heaven stood quietly in the center of the void, like a female war god suppressing the endless abyss.

"Senior, what exactly is that pillar of heaven? Why is it broken? And what about this abyss below?" Hua Tiandu looked at Master Shengguang standing beside him and asked in a voice transmission.
