Chapter 2024: Chapter 2022: The Formation Left by the Ancient Fire God

[Seeking rewards!]

Ye Tianchen escaped with Huo Xianer. Given Ye Tianchen’s current injuries, he needs to find a relatively safe place to heal. He was gravely injured by an elder from the Yazi Clan who is a Half-step Saint in Cultivation Realm. Additionally, he was later locked in confrontation with Huo Xun, a ruthless old man. Were it not for Ye Tianchen’s stubborn will, he might have already perished.

Following behind Huo Xianer, Ye Tianchen notices that she leads him into a ruin. From high above, this ruin is clearly visible, seemingly deserted for a long time, with no hidden places. Just as Ye Tianchen intends to ask Huo Xianer something, she quickly flashes further ahead!

After pondering for a moment, Ye Tianchen still follows Huo Xianer’s lead. Naturally, he trusts Huo Xianer; they’ve gone through life and death together, and have shared hardships. What is there not to trust?

As Ye Tianchen follows Huo Xianer into the ruins, he immediately feels a strange force. This force resembles a powerful Formation fluctuating, which makes Ye Tianchen frown. He can’t help but ask, ”This place seems deserted for a long time, with an Ancient Era aura, yet it also feels like a powerful Formation is operating!”

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s comment, Huo Xianer smiles slightly and remarks in surprise, ”You’re really strong, suffering such severe injuries yet still possess such a strong Divine Thought Detection Ability. Try to locate where this Formation is?”

”I only sense the power of a Formation fluctuating, but I can’t pinpoint where it is. It’s truly odd. It seems this ruin is intricate!” Ye Tianchen nods as he speaks.

Indeed, as soon as Ye Tianchen entered this ruined space, he felt a powerful Formation force fluctuating. However, he is clueless about the source and origin of this force. Despite using his powerful Divine Thought to investigate, he finds nothing, making him feel strange—why sense the Formation’s power fluctuating yet find nothing?

”Many people have been here, especially disciples from our Fire God Sacred Land’s lineage; almost all have visited this place. This is where our ancestor, the Ancient Fire God, last stayed before leaving Earth. Although it has become a ruin, the power of the Ancient Fire God ancestor remains here. However, throughout so many years, no one has comprehended the Ancient Fire God ancestor’s legacy left behind!” Huo Xianer says with a furrowed brow.

”Without entering the Formation, how can one comprehend the legacy of the Ancient Fire God? First, one must enter the Formation!” Ye Tianchen shakes his head as he speaks.

”I’ve already entered the Formation!” Huo Xianer glances at Ye Tianchen as she speaks.

”You can enter?” Ye Tianchen asks in surprise.

”Yes, I realized this not long ago. The others from Fire God Sacred Land are unaware, and judging by the current situation, I can’t tell them now!” Huo Xianer says with a somewhat sad expression.

Ye Tianchen looks at Huo Xianer, then smiles and says to her, ”You are kind-hearted, but I think you also understand that this is a cruel world. The internal struggle of your Fire God Sacred Land is indeed fierce. I believe you should keep this secret. Moreover, you are the current sole bloodline inheritor of the Ancient Fire God. It’s only right that you obtain what the Ancient Fire God left behind. Huo Xun is too sinister, with overly large ambitions!”

”I know that my inherited bloodline from the Ancient Fire God ancestor carries many responsibilities and duties. I definitely cannot let Fire God Sacred Land decline, and I must clear out the harmful elements!” Huo Xianer nods firmly as she speaks.

”Can you take me inside for a look?” Ye Tianchen asks with a smile.

”Certainly, otherwise, why did I bring you here? Moreover, only by entering the Formation left by the Ancient Fire God ancestor can we be absolutely safe!” Huo Xianer gives Ye Tianchen a look as she speaks.

Ye Tianchen nods, still feeling gratified. Huo Xianer truly treats him sincerely. One must realize the Martial Arts World is cruel and bloody, something not every person can experience. It is full of various struggles, and all cultivators aim for one purpose—gaining stronger power. To attain greater power, forsaking family, committing murder, are things that happen frequently. If someone acquires a powerful legacy or a peerless Cultivation Technique, it’s absolutely impossible to tell a second person, much less allow an outsider to view or enter their secret inheritance!

This clearly shows that Huo Xianer’s feelings for Ye Tianchen are significant, with nothing she wouldn’t do for him, as Ye Tianchen senses.

Following Huo Xianer, step by step, they arrive at the center of the ruins. In the center of these ruins is a clearing, where Ye Tianchen finds nothing and doesn’t perceive any fluctuation of Formation power, feeling quite puzzled!

”All right, all that’s left is to wait. Tonight we should anticipate the opening of the Formation!” Huo Xianer speaks.

Ye Tianchen nods, without asking more questions, and with Huo Xianer, he sits cross-legged. Unexpectedly, they remain in this position until midnight. When Ye Tianchen opens his eyes again, he feels his injuries have healed some more. He notices that the special healing power Zhang Ruotong left in him has fully integrated into his flesh, quickly healing any wound whenever he gets injured!

Ye Tianchen has consistently investigated Zhang Ruotong’s physique, and the stronger he becomes as a Martial Artist, the more certain he is that Zhang Ruotong has neither an ordinary physique nor familiar bloodline inheritance from the Alien Clan, Demon Clan, or Human Clan. Thus, until now, he remains unaware of Zhang Ruotong’s actual bloodline physique!

Not long after Ye Tianchen opens his eyes, Huo Xianer does too. She looks up at the Bright Moon above the sky and sees moonlight illuminating the clearing, then speaks, ”It’s time. I now need to activate the bloodline power inherited from the Ancient Fire God ancestor within me to open this Formation. I don’t know if it’ll succeed this time...”

”Hmm? Haven’t you already entered? Why say such things?” Ye Tianchen asks, puzzled.

Huo Xianer joins her hands together, starts performing Sealing Skills, and speaks, ”The last time happened accidentally here during Cultivation, when my Mental Realm achieved a certain mystical state, triggering the bloodline power left by the Ancient Fire God ancestor within me. It was coincidentally when the Bright Moon was high, that I could enter the Formation left by the Fire God ancestor. Given my current Cultivation Realm and comprehension of Fire Power, it’s insufficient to readily trigger the bloodline power left by the Fire God ancestor within me!”

”So that’s it. I’ll be your protector; you need not worry about anything, just focus on fully activating the bloodline power within you!” Ye Tianchen nods.

Wow!

A ray of moonlight shines down, perfectly illuminating the clearing. Huo Xianer closes her eyes, slowly immersing her Divine into a certain state, continuously performing Sealing Skills and activating the Fire Power within her. Soon, beads of sweat appear on Huo Xianer’s forehead, and her complexion turns pale. She seems unable to activate the Ancient Fire God bloodline power within her, yet she is continuing to strive!

Buzz!

Boom!

A fire light’s power comes crashing down!

Ye Tianchen frowns, sending a palm strike to meet the fire light, blasting it apart in mid-air. Immediately, a figure appears—it’s Huo Tian, the Holy Master of Fire God Sacred Land!

This loud noise pulls Huo Xianer from her meditation. When she sees Huo Tian, she quickly stands up and respectfully says, ”Greetings, Holy Master!”

”Hmm, I guessed you’d be here. I came to check if you’ve been injured!” Huo Tian says, showing care toward Huo Xianer.

”Thank you for your concern, Holy Master. Xianer is fine. You already know?” Huo Xianer asks in surprise.

Huo Tian glances at Huo Xianer, then at Ye Tianchen, sighing with a furrowed brow as he says, ”I’m well aware of what Huo Xun has done in Fire God Sacred Land. For so many years, I’ve been contemplating a solution, searching for the best approach, all to no avail, which is why I’ve been away for experiences.”

”Holy Master, Huo Xun is self-serving, ruthless. He wants to control Fire God Sacred Land for his own desires. He’s been planning for so many years; there will definitely be major events if this continues!” Huo Xianer says urgently.

”Hmm, you’re right, but killing Huo Xun with one strike, that’s hard to accomplish...” Huo Tian appears to be in thought as he speaks. (To be continued.
