Li Hong's heart was racing, and it was difficult for him to digest these astonishing secrets.
Obtaining the Cosmic Bag and the Binding Immortal Rope had already made him ecstatic, but he never expected that the real treasure was not these Superior Spirit Artifacts, but rather this piece of unidentified leather from the Cosmic Bag. Unfortunately, it was incomplete, and with just this corner piece, the chance of finding the Ancient Immortal Mansion was extremely slim.
Yun Jiuzi said, "It's fine. I believe everything happens for a reason. For three thousand years, I have tried to find other clues about this immortal mansion but found nothing. I had long given up hope, knowing it was not meant for me. But you are different. Master practiced the Six Spirit Salty Ritual, and you also practice the Six Spirit Salty Ritual. He was able to find one of the pathways to obtain Yue Que; perhaps one day you will too!"
Indeed! Perhaps this immortal mansion was left for those who practiced the Six Spirit Salty Ritual. Li Hong's eyes lit up as he entertained this absurd thought, as if he could see countless treasures beckoning to him...
At that moment, Yun Jiuzi chuckled, "If you find it, don't forget to share some with me."
Li Hong immediately patted his chest in assurance. Yun Jiuzi laughed heartily, and Li Hong realized he was joking. Thinking about it made him laugh too. It was ridiculous that he had promised a powerful Heavenly Fusion Stage expert something that was still uncertain!
"Gaga, I couldn't help but chime in after hearing all this."
Li Hong was taken aback; Heavenly Torch had appeared at that moment and even mentioned hearing everything. Did he know something? Considering how Yun Jiuzi had revealed so many astonishing secrets to him, Li Hong decided not to hide anything about Heavenly Torch from him.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Jiuzi exclaimed in surprise, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Li Hong's forehead: "I can't believe such a thing exists!"
Just then, seeing that Yun Jiuzi had figured it out, Li Hong felt more assured and decided to lay out everything about Heavenly Torch.
After listening, Yun Jiuzi nodded: "It's fine; since you've sworn an oath in Dragon Language, that makes you one of us."
Li Hong felt touched by his words; it meant he had already been included in his camp, now along with Heavenly Torch.
Heavenly Torch cackled strangely: "I died under mysterious circumstances back then and now my soul is incomplete; I've forgotten many past events. However, fortunately, I still remember some things. The old man is right; Nine Li Cave Heaven was indeed not opened by a Seasoned Master. As for whether it was created by that powerful Ancient Divine Being, I'm not very sure. But I seem to recall some shadows of this matter."
Li Hong relayed his words to Yun Jiuzi, who immediately became interested upon hearing them.
"I am the Eternal Fire Dragon. The term Eternal Fire Dragon refers to my cultivation over countless years, not including the additional millennia I spent as a formation spirit within the Li Fire Formation. Over twenty thousand years ago, when I was still young, like any child, I enjoyed listening to the elders recount tales from the past. I vaguely remember hearing from the dragon elders that Middle-Earth was not as populated as it is now; instead, it was filled with spiritual beasts and spiritual roots, a place where demon cultivators and beast cultivators were rampant. Humans existed, but they were uncivilized and often fell prey to the beasts. However, one day, a change began. Those powerful demon cultivators and beast cultivators started to disappear one by one, and even our Divine Dragon clan began to decline. Suddenly, a faction of cultivators emerged in the Mortal Realm. It was as if they had sprung up overnight. The dragon elders always said that at that time, a powerful Saint Sage appeared, slaying countless beasts and supporting human cultivators, opening up Middle-Earth and the Nine Great Caves. It seems that the current Immortal Sect lineage consists of his disciples. You see, is this legendary figure the ancient Great Deity you speak of?"
After hearing Li Hong's recounting, Yun Jiuzi nodded repeatedly. "Perhaps what we've pieced together is already closest to the truth."
Heavenly Torch added, "Since this person exists, it's certainly not impossible for him to have left something behind in Middle-Earth. Ha ha, a celestial abode! Celestial artifacts! What treasures! Let's work together and make a big haul!"
A burst of wild laughter followed... Li Hong rolled his eyes.
"But there seems to be a problem!" Heavenly Torch suddenly paused. "This old fellow is close to ascending. If he leaves first, it will just be you and me left behind; that seems a bit weak. The Ancient God’s celestial abode is not so easy to enter!"
Li Hong felt disheartened upon hearing this. Although he had known Yun Jiuzi for a short time, he already regarded him as family. The thought that he would soon ascend to the immortal realm made him happy yet reluctant.
Seeing Li Hong fall silent, Yun Jiuzi pressed him for answers. After learning the reason for his silence, he too fell into silence for a while. Then, seemingly resolute, he exclaimed: "I think my chances of ascending are slim."
"Why!" both Heavenly Torch and Li Hong exclaimed in unison, with Heavenly Torch's voice even louder than Li Hong's, startling him.
"Actually, I reached the initial stage of merging Dao five hundred years ago. For some reason, I have been unable to advance further at this stage. If there are no signs of tribulation within a thousand years, I will disperse my power and re-enter reincarnation. This is not a good sign."
Li Hong's heart sank; everything he had heard today exceeded his imagination. Treasures from celestial abodes were no longer important; if Yun Jiuzi fell back into reincarnation, it would mean death! He absolutely did not want Yun Jiuzi to die!
He shouted, "Is there really no way?"
Yun Jiuzi seemed to have seen through it all and smiled gently: "To have made a friend like you is already worthwhile! Don't worry about me; after all, there are still five hundred years left. Perhaps during these five hundred years I can find out why I can't advance further or maybe I'll successfully trigger signs of tribulation."
"Don't say that! It's not just your concern," Heavenly Torch interjected. Li Hong was stunned for a moment before relaying this to Yun Jiuzi.
Yun Jiuzi was also stunned, murmuring, "So the rumors are true..."
"Yes, I happen to know! It has been nearly a thousand years since anyone ascended, throughout the entire Cultivation World, including those from the Demon Sect! So you don't need to worry; with so many people facing this issue, your situation is not significant. There will always be a way and a reason."
Heavenly Torch's words not only gave Li Hong hope but also instilled hope in Yun Jiuzi.
Li Hong thought about his coexistence with Heavenly Torch and suddenly had a bright idea: "I have a solution! Heavenly Torch, didn't you say that anyone who coexists with you gains endless lifespan? Why not reside in Yun Jiuzi's body? That way, he will definitely be unaffected for at least five hundred years. I have no idea when I will reach the Nascent Soul Stage, so there is plenty of time. We can think of a solution later."
Yun Jiuzi was moved by what he heard but shook his head repeatedly. Just as Li Hong wanted to ask why, he heard Heavenly Torch shout, "Do you think I'm trash that you can just throw away? No way! I can't leave your Dantian unless you undergo tribulation! Only the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Tribulation can split me out of your Upper Dantian!"
Li Hong felt dejected; if this wouldn't work and that wouldn't work, it seemed there was only one option left: to find the Ancient Immortal Mansion. Perhaps he could find some clues inside to help Yun Jiuzi.
Ancient Divine Immortal Abode. From then on, Li Hong firmly etched these six words in his mind.
At that moment, Yun Jiuzi suddenly moved his lips and a faint voice echoed in his heart: "Don't think or move! Even if you have a fleeting thought, that old dragon will know immediately! Listen to me; I will now teach you the method of transmitting sound secretly and how to close off communication with the old dragon's Divine Consciousness. From now on, he will only know what you want him to know and absolutely nothing else."
Li Hong listened with bright eyes, his face showing no expression, and even his mind remained undisturbed.
