Chapter 1890: with translation of chapter title
The Star Furnace that had turned into stars opened up the Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu for a while, but soon its effect time expired.
The huge stars turned back into a small ball and returned to Xiao Feng's hand, and the surrounding temperature immediately began to cool.
Here the environment is like that; even if extremely intense heat appears, it only temporarily dispels the cold and cannot eradicate it permanently.
With the Star Furnace in hand, the temperature around Xiao Feng is still relatively high, in a molten state, and he can continue to descend.
Thanks to the Star Furnace's incineration effect just now, he has already gone down over a hundred kilometers underground, and the crust behind him solidified again with the appearance of low temperature, sealing him beneath the strata.
Without the 'turning into stars' effect, the drilling efficiency is much slower.
The Solar True Fire principle and the Star Furnace work together, continuously melting the rock strata and soil, but he can only drill down about 30 meters per second.
Over a thousand meters per minute, only a little over a hundred kilometers per hour.
And the depth of this planet is seven to eight thousand kilometers, so the time required is very long.
Xiao Feng drilled down silently for over an hour, and the Xun Zong Jie Hui Shi kept giving him directional hints, so he wouldn't go astray.
At this point, his cultivation cooldown time is actually almost up; according to his previous habit, he would return to the Chaos Secret Realm to cultivate.
But not today!
The environment beneath these strata will solidify; once he leaves and comes back later, the entrance will lead to an icy world, and he would have to remelt it to get in.
Furthermore, when the entrance opens, cold air will also pour into the interior of the Chaos Secret Realm; this boundless icy chill might damage some players and spiritually pure vegetation inside the Chaos Secret Realm.
So he can only first
settle the matter here, then after leaving the range of the Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu, depart via the secret realm transmission method.
"It's getting colder outside; if you keep descending like this, once you get near the planet's core, your divine power will probably really be frozen." The voice of the Heaven-Shaking Arrow echoed in his mind.
This Primordial Sacred Artifact basically never speaks on its own under normal circumstances; it's rather aloof, but today the situation is somewhat different, and with Xiao Feng in an unsafe situation, it cannot just stand by idly.
"Then I have to go; I have no choice." Xiao Feng replied.
The exchange condition of three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures is impossible to achieve; not to mention the time issue, even if he could obtain three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures within a year, he would not hand them over to the Azure Dragon.
With so many treasures, he could easily slay the Azure Dragon alone, and he would surely think of a way to break the Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu.
"Brother Arrow, what do you know about this Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu?" Xiao Feng asked, trying to find useful information.
But the Heaven-Shaking Arrow replied: "No, I haven't even heard of it. The Void Sea used to be a forbidden zone for humanity; during the era when the Triumphant Great Emperor ruled, all tribes submitted, but only the Void Sea was the domain of the Dao Ancestor, which we cannot enter. So our knowledge of it is also minimal."
"What about the Azure Dragon? What is this Venerable like?" Xiao Feng asked again.
The Heaven-Shaking Arrow said: "The Azure Dragon is quite strong, stronger than the first White Tiger, but cannot defeat the Triumphant Great Emperor; I estimate it is four to five times stronger than the Mo Long Lao Zu you saw today, and about the same as the Lord of Life you previously defeated."
"Hmm, I also have a guess about this; I wanted to ask about the Azure Dragon's temperament and preferences, and whether there is any other way to make her release"
"Xun Shuang Xianzi?" Xiao Feng said.
In terms of strength, there's actually not much to guess; although the Azure Dragon's fame is not small, it still falls short of beings like the Kun Peng, the Holy Ape Demon Emperor, and the Triumphant Great Emperor, but it is within the challengable range.
The Heaven-Shaking Arrow replied upon hearing this: "As for temperament... I've heard a bit before; this Venerable loves collecting treasures, values the development of his clan highly, and has even waged war over the young of the dragon clan who aren't even Divine Kings and other Venerables. All in all, he's somewhat protective of his own and outwardly domineering."
Xiao Feng pondered silently.
This information is still somewhat useful.
The Azure Dragon cares about clan development, so Xun Shuang's act of plundering Qi Luck is a great provocation to her.
Given that premise, wanting the Azure Dragon to release Xun Shuang is very difficult.
"Ah, this stupid woman, I don't even know why she's plundering Qi Luck, and she ran to someone else's hometown to do this; it's really going to make me angry to death." Xiao Feng felt stifled in his heart.
If Xun Shuang Xianzi had not left back then, it would have been good; now she is probably peacefully nurturing her fetus in the Chaos Secret Realm, and there wouldn't be such trouble.
Too bad there are no 'ifs'; things have come to this, he must resolve the matter and bring Xun Shuang back.
Otherwise, he would be unworthy of being a man!
Two hours, three hours, four hours…
Time passed slowly, the surrounding cold grew stronger, and the Star Furnace's heat that could originally sustain a hundred-meter radius was compressed down to only 80 meters.
Xiao Feng's mana potions were continuously being consumed; here there is no automatic mana recovery, relying entirely on medicine replenishment, which is also a major problem.
He normally doesn't need mana potions at all, automatically absorbing the energy of heaven and earth
the speed of which is faster than taking pills.
Now the situation is special; even the small amount of mana potions in his pack has become a problem, forcing him to take out a large amount of divine stones, drawing energy from them while drilling downward.
Fortunately, his divine origin power is very abundant and his foundation solid, so he does not show signs of fatigue.
After several hours, Xiao Feng is still far from the planet's core; at least he needs another two days to reach the target position.
The sisters at home noticed he didn't return today to cultivate, and sent a message asking why.
After he explained, everyone became a bit worried.
He Xianzi, who was cultivating at home, also learned that he had come up with a method to enter the Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu; she appeared dispirited, and her enthusiasm came to nothing.
However, she also managed to settle down for once; she did not give up on her breakthrough to go cause trouble with Zixi and the others because of this, but continued her cultivation, hoping to break through to Divine King before Xiao Feng returns, so she won't be useless when needed later.
Time passed hour by hour, and before he knew it, it was almost a day.
Xiao Feng had entered 2000 kilometers into the strata, and his speed began to slow down.
The Star Furnace's heat was compressed within 60 meters, unable to spread far, and the mana consumption of the Solar True Fire also increased.
Moving forward became increasingly difficult.
At this moment, the Azure Dragon's voice sounded again.
She said: "Give up; with your strength you still cannot touch the Yong Dong Jian Lao Xing Qiu. Obediently offer three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures, and I can fulfill your wish."
"Why repeat something you know is impossible? Don't you find it ridiculous?" Xiao Feng countered.
"Three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures..." He suspected the Azure Dragon had lived over twenty million years, and
still hasn't obtained that many treasures!
And this guy actually expects him to obtain three ninth-tier Supreme Treasures within a year as ransom?
This is clearly an intentional attempt to make things difficult!
