Although Ye Chu was eager to figure out what this black iron was, he also knew that unless General Huo Zhenglin and that Supreme Being were resurrected, no one could guarantee explaining its miraculous effects clearly. Perhaps only by experiencing it slowly himself could he discover its origins.
Upon leaving the Seventy-Two Caves, the masters of the Seventy-Two Caves had already surrounded the outside. Looking at Ye Chu, their expressions instantly turned grim, and they glared at him, roaring, “You actually dare to come again. This time, you will die!”
“Hahaha…” Ye Chu laughed loudly without saying a word. Various powers surged out, and the leading cave masters instantly exploded and died. His figure leaped, and he and Ruoshui shot directly through the crowd. The hurricane brought out by their passage blew these people into a panic, and many fell to the ground in a messy heap.
Ye Chu had no mind to bother with these people, so he and Ruoshui left the Seventy-Two Caves.
After leaving the Seventy-Two Caves, the next place Ruoshui took Ye Chu to made him slightly stunned.
“Is this the Sha Volcano?” Ye Chu looked at Ruoshui in doubt, pointing ahead and asking.
The area ahead looked emerald green, but if you looked closely, you would find that those green trees were all condensed from green fire. The continuous mountains stretching for a thousand miles, everything was condensed from green flames.
At first glance, it was no different from emerald green mountains, but those who knew about this place knew better. This was absolutely a deadly land.
Because everything here was Sha fire. For cultivators, this was a place of certain death. Therefore, it was also known as a small forbidden land here.
“What are we doing here? Legend has it that this is a place left behind when the Supreme Being forged artifacts back then. The mountains have all been tainted by Sha energy, and everything that grows is bred by the Sha fire. Including these emerald green trees!” Ye Chu said to Ruoshui.
“Yes! It is exactly the place where the Supreme Being forged artifacts. This thousand-mile mountain range was refined by him altogether, which is why it turned into a Sha land,” Ruoshui replied. “But this time we came here, we indeed need to rely on it.”
The continuous thousand miles actually bred emerald green vegetation relying on Sha fire. Just thinking about it was frightening, but the thousand miles of Sha fire vegetation also told everyone about the danger here.
Ye Chu was not afraid of Sha energy, as his physique was special. Sha energy was just a supplement to him. Of course, the Sha energy here was special. It was the residual Sha left by the Supreme Being back then, combined with various reasons. On the contrary, it had no effect as a tonic for Ye Chu, which was also the reason why Ye Chu had never paid attention to this place.
Moreover, this place had, after all, retained the dangers from when the Supreme Being forged artifacts. Ye Chu was fearless of Sha energy, but other dangers were still not something he could ignore.
“What are we doing coming here? Although this is the place where the Supreme Being forged artifacts, nothing was left behind. There is no use for us to come here!” Ye Chu looked at Ruoshui in doubt.
Ruoshui shook her head and said, “We need to use it to forge something!”
“What thing?” Ye Chu asked curiously.
“The Ruoshui Fusheng Lotus!”
“The Ruoshui Fusheng Lotus?” Ye Chu’s heart trembled slightly. He had heard of this thing before. Rumour had it that it was something forged using the essence of Ruoshui and the secret method of the Fusheng Palace. Integrating it into the origin spirit sea could achieve the secret method of the Fusheng Palace. Rumour said it could make a cultivator’s strength skyrocket, exerting unimaginable power. It was just that this secret method had never been verified, and Ye Chu did not know if it was true or false. Now that Ruoshui mentioned it, it must be true.
“You possess the Chaos Green Energy, have grasped profound mysteries, and have an extraordinary physique. Added to the fact that you hold the secrets of the Emotion Domain, many people have already set their eyes on you. But your strength is too weak. Only by helping you successfully forge the secret method of the Fusheng Palace can the Fusheng Palace and Wuxin Peak be at ease,” Ruoshui said.
“Are you saying that acquiring all these things recently was entirely to help me forge the secret method of the Fusheng Palace?” Ye Chu looked at Ruoshui in a daze.
Ruoshui nodded and said, “Yes! You are crucial to the strategy of Wuxin Peak and the Fusheng Palace, and we all must work hard for this. Originally, the best outcome was to let you stay at Wuxin Peak and the Fusheng Palace. But that will not work either. You can only grow by tempering yourself on the continent, and tempering yourself on the continent means facing who knows how many dangers. What we can do is give you more things to save your life. The Ruoshui Fusheng Lotus is such a thing. I use the law essence soul of the Jade Abyss Lotus Pod, combined with the secret method of the clan and the essence of Ruoshui to forge it. It can create the Ruoshui Fusheng Lotus and integrate it into your origin spirit in the sea of energy. In times of danger, you can use its power to fight.”
Hearing these words, Ye Chu was not pleased. He took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said, “The continent is about to undergo a great change, right?”
Ruoshui nodded and said, “The prosperous era is arriving, and the continent is beginning to awaken. It is no longer the case that the older generation of experts will not appear. Experts of the Law realm are afraid they will also break their seals themselves and stop cultivating in seclusion. They all want to fight for their opportunities in this prosperous era. The most important thing is that the Heavenly Secret Ranking will soon reappear. By then, there will be a bloodbath. Without a certain level of strength, one will only die on the road to contention. Others at Wuxin Peak can die, but you alone carry the hope of the Emotion Domain and cannot die!”
Ye Chu knew his hope was the Supreme Intent, which made him smile bitterly and say, “Do you really think I can unravel the secret of the Supreme Intent?”
“Not necessarily! But there is hope already! You have not lost your way even up to this moment, and have even comprehended the profound mysteries. This means you are halfway to success. As long as you reach a certain level alive and cooperate with the Fusheng Palace, it is possible to break open the secrets within,” Ruoshui said to Ye Chu.
“So coming here this time is to use the Sha energy to forge the Ruoshui Fusheng Lotus?” Ye Chu asked Ruoshui.
“Yes! If it were someone else, they would need to find something else to forge it. But you are fearless of Sha energy, so you can just use the Sha energy to forge it. Besides being able to speed up the process, the quality will also be higher!” Ruoshui answered Ye Chu.
“This is the place where the Supreme Being forged artifacts. Although your strength is formidable, I am afraid it would be hard to resist in here. Coming here might be dangerous!” Ye Chu was somewhat worried.
Ruoshui shook her head and said, “It is fine! After all, it is just the residual Sha left by the Supreme Being. If we act carefully, it is not impossible to use it. And you are fearless of Sha energy, so the two of us can try working together.”
Hearing Ruoshui say this, Ye Chu nodded and said nothing more. He walked side by side with Ruoshui into the great mountain before them. Inside the Sha mountain, flames burned fiercely, but the flames had no heat waves. Instead, there was a filthy and gloomy aura. Ye Chu was not surprised by this. Sha energy was originally negative spiritual energy. The heaven and earth spiritual energy that cultivators could not bear and cultivate was uniformly classified as Sha energy.
It was just that the Sha energy here had extremely many negative auras. It possessed coldness, filth, corrosion, obscenity, and so on. It was indeed worthy of being the Sha fire used by the Supreme Being to forge artifacts. Amidst the vibration of various auras, even though Ye Chu was fearless of Sha energy, he was still somewhat affected. He had to frantically use his acupoints to transform the impact brought by the Sha energy aura.
