Chapter 386: Zhurong Tomb

In the Zhurong Tomb, everything was blood-red.

This was completely different from what Hua Changxi had imagined.

It was not a world of fire with flames soaring to the sky; let alone flames, not even a spark or a flicker could be seen.

However, the stuffy, scorching hot air inhaled into the body, and the intense burning pain felt by the body, were so obvious that it made one feel like they were in a closed pressure cooker.

If the sea of fire under Li Huo Cliff was a world of flames, then this time, what she saw was a world of "fire"—fire could not be seen, but fire was everywhere.

Besides that, it was filled with a rich smell of blood, which was the power of blood and Qi emitted, making one feel not nauseated, but rather comfortable.

This was the sense of fragmentation that the Zhurong Tomb gave her: on one hand, she felt suffocated and under strong suppression; on the other hand, she felt relieved, and her body seemed to become fuller and more energetic.

Hua Changxi walked cautiously in the Zhurong Tomb and did not see the Imperial House disciple who had entered before her.

Blood-red sky, blood-red ground, nothing else in between, with a sense of desolation and vastness as if walking in a blood-colored Gobi.

Nothing!

No high platforms, no waterfalls, no cliffs...

Nothing at all. Then what was the Zhurong Tomb testing?

At first, Hua Changxi walked quite easily. However, not long after, when her feet stepped on the ground, sparks began to emerge from under her feet.

Not long after the sparks appeared, swaying flames climbed onto Hua Changxi's feet. At this moment, the burning pain conducted from her feet was instantly magnified several times.

Hua Changxi looked at the flames on her feet, roughly guessed what the Zhurong Tomb was going to test, stopped, looked ahead, and showed hesitation, not knowing whether to continue.

Having had the experience of occupying the Karma Fire Platform, the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, and Li Huo Cliff, she knew that to become the owner of a blessed land, one needed both a certain opportunity and to pass the corresponding test.

Occupying the Karma Fire Platform, because she had first cultivated the Karma Fire Red Lotus and mastered the "Karma" law, she was highly compatible with the Karma Fire Platform, so it didn't take long to obtain the owner's token.

Occupying Li Huo Cliff, because she had absorbed and refined a drop of Zhu Que essence blood, it only took three months to subdue the Li Huo Ancient Flame.

However, occupying the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, because there was no special opportunity, she spent a full three years to become the Palace Master of the Fire Spring Palace.

Regarding the Zhurong Tomb, whether outside the barrier or deep inside the Zhurong Tomb, Hua Changxi had no special induction.

In other words, there was no special opportunity between her and the Zhurong Tomb.

Therefore, if she wanted to become the owner of the Zhurong Tomb, she had to be like conquering the Nine Heavens Fire Spring, going against the current again and again until she reached the Fire Spring Palace.

Hua Changxi looked at the blood-red world before her. She didn't know how big the Zhurong Tomb was, and she didn't know how long she had to walk forward, but she could guess that the time consumed by the test would definitely not be short.

If it were before, she certainly wouldn't consider too much, but nowadays, the situation in Nanxiang County was treacherous, and the Zhu Que Army had been impersonated and disappeared for no reason. If she left suddenly for too long, she was worried that the Zhu Que Army would not be able to hold on.

However, after not thinking for long, Hua Changxi stepped forward again.

Since she had already entered, she had to bring some Zhurong Stone out for body refining; at the same time, she had to find that Imperial House disciple and could not let him take away the Zhurong Tomb.

Thinking of Zhurong Stone, Hua Changxi regretted slapping her own head and tried to run the "Zhurong Meridian Expansion Technique" taught to her by Jing Sheng. Soon, the blood and Qi power in the air was drawn into her body.

Hua Changxi's face showed joy. However, perhaps because the blood and Qi power in the air was not as full as that in the Zhurong Stone, it could not strengthen the body and widen the meridians, but the pain in her feet was relieved a little.

For the rest of the way, Hua Changxi kept running the "Zhurong Meridian Expansion Technique."

The further she walked, the richer the blood and Qi power became, and at the same time, more of her body was engulfed by flames.

Although the blood and Qi power drawn into the body by the "Zhurong Meridian Expansion Technique" could help offset part of the burning pain, it had not been able to light up the meridian nodes. Feeling that the effect was minimal, Hua Changxi immediately stopped running the "Zhurong Meridian Expansion Technique" and changed to practicing the body refining formula of the seventh part of the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art."

"Hiss~"

As soon as the body refining formula started running, the "fire elements" that were everywhere in the air flew into her body. In an instant, Hua Changxi felt that every cell in her body was being roasted by flames, and the pain made her gasp.

However, the body refining effect was unexpectedly good.

With the entry of the "fire elements," Hua Changxi felt that her body seemed to be illuminated, and crystal-clear meridians appeared one after another in her "line of sight."

When the flames engulfed her head, the meridian network wrapping the brain also appeared under her internal vision.

After the meridian network in her body fully appeared, Hua Changxi became a fire person. At this time, she didn't know how long she had been moving forward, and a blood-red bone mountain that looked like a mountain range appeared in her line of sight.

Without getting close, she recognized at a glance that the bone mountain was Zhurong Stone!

She also saw that under the bone mountain, there stood another fire person just like her.
