As soon as some Elite Disciples entered the Refining Flame Cave, their bodies immediately sank, and their once upright figures suddenly hunched over as if a great mountain had pressed down upon them!
Wang Yi heard the calls ahead and was startled. Suddenly, he heard Chu Yixuan beside him shout, "Heart!" but it was too late. Before Wang Yi could react, he felt his feet sink deeply into the ground, and a tremendous force pressed down on him from above. At the same time, his body became unbearably hot, and sweat poured from every pore.
"Ha." Wang Yi let out a heavy breath and looked ahead, where he saw dozens of disciples with their feet stuck in the ground, hunched over. Some were even completely pinned to the ground by this strange gravity.
Among these people, those lying on the ground were mostly Sixfold Warriors, while the stronger warriors were merely pressed into the ground by this force.
Wang Yi sensed the peculiarity of this strange space and immediately mobilized his Vital Energy to relieve the gravitational pressure, slowly standing up. Confused, he turned around and saw Niu Meng in a similar situation. He called out, "Niu Meng, are you okay?"
"Cough cough cough." Niu Meng was already strong, but under this gravity, his feet sank more than thirty centimeters. His black face was covered in a layer of dust kicked up by the force, causing him to cough several times before saying, "Big brother, I'm fine."
"Bastard! It's so hot! What kind of place is this? It's so strange!" Niu Meng struggled to pull his feet out and relieved himself of the gravitational pressure before looking around and cursing.
"Wang Shidi, are you all okay?" Chu Yixuan seemed to have been prepared; his body hadn't sunk too much and only left a shallow footprint on the ground.
"Hmph, ignorant!"
At that moment, a mocking voice came from behind. Wang Yi turned to look and saw Zhao Shanyu leading Wang Zhou and others walking in leisurely. Dressed in spotless white robes, it was clear they had already known about the strangeness here and had prepared accordingly, avoiding being pinned down by the sudden gravity.
"Bastard! What are you doing?" Niu Meng shouted angrily.
"Niu Meng!" Zhao Shanyu's expression suddenly darkened. Despite being in such a hot place, anyone could feel how cold his gaze was. "If you dare say that again, I'll make sure you can't get in or out!"
"Ah! This makes me furious!" Niu Meng's anger flared as he said, "You bastard dare to threaten me? I'll curse you now; what are you going to do about it?"
"Bastard..."
"Brother Zhao hates being insulted the most; isn't Niu Meng just asking for trouble?"
"That's right; Zhao Shanyu is narrow-minded; it seems he won't let Niu Meng off this time!"
"Seeking death!" Zhao Shanyu's gaze was sharp as an eagle's. He stepped forward, causing the rocks beneath him to shatter into pieces as dust flew everywhere. His body shot toward Niu Meng like an arrow at incredible speed.
Niu Meng saw that he could not avoid it, shouted loudly, and raised his fist to block from below. Suddenly, he felt a tremendous force pressing down on his arm, causing his whole body to tremble as he staggered backward. The rocks in the Refining Flame Cave, already scorched by the heat over the years, instantly turned to ash under such immense power.
"Hmph, trying to escape? No way!" said Zhao Shanyu.
"Niu Meng," Wang Yi saw that Zhao Shanyu was about to strike again, and with a flash of his body, he intercepted Zhao Shanyu's punch.
"Wang Yi, do you also want to taste my strength?" Zhao Shanyu glared at Wang Yi, speaking each word clearly.
"Hmph, if you want to fight, then so be it," Wang Yi replied seriously, fixing his gaze on Zhao Shanyu. He was no longer afraid of either Li Gang or Zhao Shanyu. Since they had come to bully him, retreating would only embolden them further.
Although Wang Yi had defeated Lin Haojian, one of the Wen Cang Three Heroes, and gained considerable fame, many still did not believe he could match up against Li Gang or Zhao Shanyu. Thus, he harbored thoughts of defeating Zhao Shanyu to establish his own reputation!
"Stop it," Chu Yixuan timely stepped between the two, smiling calmly. "Why must you be angry, Zhao Shidi? We all entered the Refining Flame Cave to seek breakthroughs. Why should we harm each other's harmony over a momentary dispute?" He then turned to Wang Yi, saying, "Wang Shidi, for the sake of your senior brother, let this matter pass."
"Hmph, just because of Brother Chu, I'll let you off this time?" Zhao Shanyu's gaze flickered uncertainly. He knew he had to constantly mobilize his internal Vital Energy to alleviate the weight on his body. If he fought with Wang Yi here, it might not end well. With a wave of his sleeve, he spoke arrogantly.
Wang Yi seemed not to hear and instead surveyed the fiery world before him. It stretched endlessly with flames everywhere; both the air and rocks were crimson. Above him were oddly shaped fiery rocks, and beneath his feet lay rugged terrain littered with stones. Perhaps due to the high temperature, some fist-sized fire rocks had already turned to ash; stepping on them turned them into dust.
Retrieving his gaze, a look of surprise appeared on Wang Yi's face. The Refining Flame Cave was actually excavated directly from the mountainside. He couldn't help but wonder: "Why did the Kaiyang Sect excavate this cave? How much labor did it take?"
"Damn it! This is the Refining Flame Cave! It's really huge!" Niu Meng snorted coldly at Zhao Shanyu, looking around at the sea of red and cursing.
"Look quickly! There's a square ahead!"
Suddenly someone pointed ahead and exclaimed.
Following that person's gaze, Wang Yi looked forward and saw a massive square about a hundred feet away, stretching over a thousand feet in size. In the center of the square stood an altar about ten feet tall, surrounded by numerous stone chambers made of rock. These caves must be part of the Refining Flame Cave!
"Let's hurry!"
At that moment, someone shouted out loud. The crowd finally remembered the old man's words from Zhou Deyu, immediately rushing toward the square without stopping.
As Wang Yi turned back to look, he noticed that Jin Qinghan, carrying the Remaining Cloud Sword, was walking slowly at the back of the group, coldly observing this fiery world with no sign of emotion on his face!
Wang Yi withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go."
Chu Yixuan, Li Gang, Zhao Shanyu, and others eagerly stepped forward.
However, due to the strange gravity in this area, everyone's speed was significantly reduced. Wang Yi clearly noticed that his speed was at least halved compared to outside, so although the square was only a hundred feet away, it took quite a bit of time to reach it.
When Wang Yi and his group appeared in the square, some disciples had already rushed into the Stone Chamber.
"Ah!"
However, a bizarre scene occurred!
As two disciples rushed into the Stone Chamber, they immediately collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning, spitting blood. It seemed as though they were enveloped by a mysterious force that prevented anyone from approaching!
"What is happening?"
"This is terrifying! Are they okay?"
The excitement on everyone's faces vanished upon witnessing this scene, replaced by fear as they hesitated to move forward.
Wang Yi scanned the surroundings with furrowed brows, filled with confusion. The caves were all constructed from rectangular stone blocks, each one similar in layout and showing no signs of abnormality.
"Bastard! Brother Chu, what is going on?" Niu Meng, who had been excited and was about to enter a cave, stopped in his tracks at this sight. A hint of fear flashed in his eyes as he swallowed hard.
"This Refining Flame Cave is a marvelous Gravitational Space, and the gravity in these Stone Chambers is several times more terrifying than that of the Outer Sect. Therefore, disciples with lower strength cannot withstand the gravity inside the Stone Chamber," Chu Yixuan replied calmly with a smile.
"I see." After hearing this, Niu Meng's fear dissipated completely, and he said excitedly, "Then let me give it a try." He then set his sights on one of the Stone Chambers and took a few steps inside.
As soon as Niu Meng stepped into the cave, he felt a wave of gravity pressing down on him. His body slightly bent under the pressure; it felt like this gravity was more than three times stronger than that outside. However, he did not feel afraid. Instead, he shouted loudly and mobilized all his Vital Energy to counteract the gravity. He stood upright and walked back and forth without any issues, laughing as he said, "Haha! So that's how it is!"
"Hey, where's Wang Shidi?" Chu Yixuan looked around but found that Wang Yi had already appeared at the altar.
"What is that thing?" Niu Meng felt an inexplicable mystery emanating from the altar and couldn't help but feel a hint of fear as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Let's go," Chu Yixuan said.
The other disciples listened to Chu Yixuan's words and finally understood that these caves were not just places one could enter at will; they required strength, and without it, everything was in vain!
Some disciples at Transcendence Level Six were unable to enter the caves and had to choose to refine their bodies outside. After all, with the support of this gravity, body refinement became a bit stronger.
By the altar, Wang Yi stared blankly at the object before him, filled with confusion.
This altar was incredibly ordinary; aside from a circular groove in the center, there was nothing else.
Moreover, the altar was covered with a thick layer of lime, and the air was filled with a strong lime smell, slightly pungent. All of this indicated that the altar had not been used for a long time!
"Brother Chu, what kind of altar is this?" Wang Yi lifted his eyelids and looked at the approaching Chu Yixuan.
"This..." Chu Yixuan stared at the altar, pondering for a long time. Suddenly, his expression changed as he waved away the layer of dust on the altar. His face turned pale as he fixed his gaze on the strange patterns on the altar and exclaimed, "Summoning Altar! How could there be such a thing here?"
"Summoning Altar?" Wang Yi hurriedly waved away the dust on the altar and saw that intricate and profound patterns were carved into the stone slab. They resembled characters, birds and beasts, or trees—complex beyond explanation and seemingly from nowhere.
"Brother Chu, what is a Summoning Altar?" At this moment, Lin Chao and Niu Meng approached as well, their gazes fixed on the mysterious altar.
