One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 193 192: Trend

A moon rises.

It is as bright as a jade plate, illuminating the vast yellow sands with its silver makeup.

Zhao Fuyun suddenly stopped under the moon. In his eyes, this was a sandy slope and below the slope was a gauze tent.

Under the moonlight, there was a lamp hanging in front of each gauze curtain, but people were gathered in circles, and there was a person standing in each circle.

The man looked up with his hands raised towards the moon in the sky.

They were offering sacrifices to the moon.

From this sand valley came waves of prayers and chants.

However, each small circle prayed for its own, without interfering with each other, but promoting each other. Zhao Fuyun saw that the power of the moon in the sky gathered here and diffused in this sand valley.

The frost is as white as snow, shining here like day.

Zhao Fuyun could feel the anger in these people, which became less restless and hot in the moonlight.

He guessed that these people were people who practiced fire magic, and were using this method to subdue the flames in their bodies.

This is what Zhao Fuyun also did when he was studying the Pure Yang Classic.

Alone yin cannot grow, alone yang cannot grow.

He knew exactly who these people were, and although he wanted to go over and have a conversation with them, he did not disturb them at this time.

They didn't stop until the moon set in the west.

When they finished their practice, everyone's eyes turned to him. He did not try to hide himself intentionally. Just now, during the prayer, everyone's thoughts were flying, so naturally he was exposed.

Although he changed to practice the "Taixu Wujie Zhenjing", the fire talisman formed in his body still made everyone clearly feel the anger in his body.

"There are visitors!" someone shouted loudly.

Zhao Fuyun then floated up and fell into the valley like a fallen leaf, light and agile, without the slightest worldly air.

"Good imperial method." Someone praised.

Zhao Fuyun saw that this person should be the leader among these people, so he couldn't help but clasp his fists to him and said to everyone, "I am Zhao Fuyun, a newcomer who has just arrived at this precious place. I saw you all practicing, so I didn't want to disturb you, but I was curious, so I stopped to watch. I hope you can forgive me."

The man who had praised Zhao Fuyun before had red hair and a red beard. His clothes were very loose, and like everyone else, his chest was bare.

"Haha, those who come here are all independent practitioners of fire magic. They gather here because there is no better place to practice. There is no secret." said the man with red hair and red beard.

Many other people seemed to have no interest in him, and many of them dispersed or went about their own business. However, the red-haired man was quite hospitable and invited Zhao Fuyun into his tent.

There were several other people and a woman who entered the tent with him. Judging from her actions, she seemed to be the hostess and should be the Taoist partner of the red-haired man.

The sand tent was not small when we entered, and everyone sat down.

Because supplies were scarce in this sea of sand, everyone sat down and all they were served was water.

However, this clear water is mixed with moon dew, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when drinking it.

Zhao Fuyun drank it and found it quite tasty.

Red Beard's Taoist name is Chixiao, and his Taoist partner is named Feiyan. As for the other people, they were not introduced and Zhao Fuyun did not ask.

From Chi Xiao, we know that the cultivators who come here are some independent cultivators who practice fire magic. Even if there are some who are not independent cultivators, they come here to condense the Fire Evil and build a foundation.

Zhao Fuyun knew that practicing in this place for a long time would be twice as effective with half the effort than practicing in other places. Of course, this was only for those who practiced fire magic.

However, there are many classifications in the field of fire magic alone. As far as Zhao Fuyun knows, there are sects such as Puzhao, Shengri, Xihe, Taiyi, Kuihua, Shaoyang, and Laoyang in the Red Flame Divine Sect.

Everyone’s method of cultivation is more or less related to these sects.

Although they have not converted to religion, they have all read those classics.

The Red Flame Divine Religion can be called a state religion, but it is also loose. One of the reasons for this is that over the years, there have been too many inheritances, and each sect has its own unique methods.

However, we also learned from him that there is another thing existing in this sea of sand.

That's the fire demon.

Fire demons are those who practice fire magic and become possessed. Their bodies are taken over by external evil spirits and they are no longer their original selves.

If you encounter these things, avoid them if you can, but if you can't avoid them, it's best to kill them. These fire demons fear the coldness of water magic the most.

When the sun was rising, Zhao Fuyun saw many people coming out of the tents and heading east to absorb the purple air of the morning sun.

His current practice is no longer about sensing the fire essence, but about sensing the potential of all spirits in the void.

So he left while everyone was practicing and continued to move forward.

Not long after he left the valley, the red-bearded Chi Xiao called his brothers into the tent. After a while, they all came out together and chased in the direction Zhao Fuyun left.

Others saw this scene, and some curled their lips and said, "A good prey was taken away by Red Beard first."

"That's not necessarily true. I see that person's aura is condensed and not dispersed. He must be a person with a solid foundation in cultivation."

"He looks like a disciple of a certain sect, well-dressed, but in this vast sea of sand, many disciples of different sects have been buried in this yellow sand."

……

Zhao Fuyun went all the way to the depths of the sand sea. He had already asked for directions in the sand tent before. The sun seemed to be even hotter here, as if it was closer to the sand sea. Looking up at the sky, there were no clouds, but there seemed to be a virtual fire burning in the void.

He felt the malice approaching from behind him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Last night, when he was there looking at those people, he didn't feel anything special at first, but when everyone finished their practice and looked over, he felt like he was bitten by a pack of wolves in that instant.

However, he did not leave immediately, but wanted to learn more about it. However, after a conversation, he did not get much information. Perhaps they did not tell the truest side of this sea of sand.

He did not deliberately try to cover his whereabouts. Soon, several faint lines of fire appeared in the void, surrounding him.

This is the art of fire escape. These people have been practicing in this piece of heaven and earth for many years. The fire here is strong and permeates their bodies, so each of them has mastered the art of fire escape. Although not as fast as his Golden Crow Divine Light Escape, they are also very good.

Zhao Fuyun spent a lot of effort to master the Fire Escape Technique.

"Brother Chixiao, what do you mean?" Zhao Fuyun asked coldly as he looked at the red-bearded man in front of him.

"Brother Zhao asked about the customs of this sea of sand last night. It was hard to tell then, but now I want to let Brother Zhao experience it for himself." Chi Xiao with a red beard said with a smile. "Oh, is it that when you are still you are cultivating, and when you are moving you are stealing?" Zhao Fuyun asked coldly.

"Haha, Brother Zhao is indeed an elegant man. His words are concise and to the point. As long as Brother Zhao takes off his robes, magic tools and treasure bags, I will let you go. This will be regarded as repaying the favor we had in the tent before." The red-bearded Chi Xiao said loudly, with a hint of sincerity in his voice.

Zhao Fuyun looked around at the other people, but he only saw coldness in their eyes. He knew that this was just Chi Xiao's rhetoric. His acting skills were very good, but the others did not have such acting skills.

Zhao Fuyun looked up at the sky and said, "What a huge piece of red flame."

He just pointed his hand toward the sky.

"Red Flame Edict!"

At this moment, the sun in the sky seemed to have fallen here. Chi Xiao and his companions were originally practitioners of fire magic, so they were naturally not afraid of the scorching heat.

However, when Zhao Fuyun issued this command spell, not only did the sun seem to set here, but the flames in their bodies seemed to be out of control.

It was boiling like water, and fear appeared on everyone's face.

"burn!"

As soon as the word "burn" came out, flames began to burn on these people's bodies. The flames came out from their five internal organs and seven orifices. The clothes on their bodies were quickly burned away, and their bodies twisted in the flames.

Chi Xiao still wanted to control the flames in his body, but the flames were like a fire in a furnace blown by the wind, howling up and engulfing his consciousness. Before his consciousness was burned away by the flames, he saw Zhao Fuyun walking away without looking back.

"So cruel, I didn't see it last night."

He hated himself for hitting his eye last night.

After Zhao Fuyun left, only six dry bones were left here. Soon they were buried in the yellow sand, leaving no trace.

Zhao Fuyun felt hotter and hotter, even he felt like he was breathing fire.

The sand under my feet seemed to be burning with flames. Although there was no open flame, the heat was no less intense than walking in fire.

However, the magic power of his talismans originally contained fire, so he was not afraid of these ordinary fires.

Looking into the distance, a gust of wind blew and sand flew up, but what I saw was flames flying.

He did not use the Fire Escape Technique because it would be fleeting and there was no way to experience the feeling more carefully.

He walked step by step, carefully experiencing the feeling of walking in the fire. This made his fire escape technique advance further without him realizing it. The flames seemed to burn his body again from the outside to the inside.

At the same time, he also experienced the meaning of the word "xu" in the "Taixu Wujie Zhenjing".

If "Taixu" is all-encompassing, it is still too far away for Zhao Fuyun. What he truly experiences now is the word "xu", which is different from this "xu".

This practice made him feel like he could slowly disappear into nothingness, so his invisibility skills improved quickly. He felt that one day, as long as he wanted, no one would be able to find him.

Walking in the fire at this moment, he felt that if he could truly achieve "emptiness", then the flames would be unable to burn anything.

At the same time, the meaning of the word "virtual" allowed his fire escape technique to become more advanced and subtle, allowing him to escape without any trace of fireworks, allowing him to walk slowly in the fire without leaving any trace.

Finally, he saw a huge volcano in the distance.

The volcano was not very high. It was originally just a pale sea, and the sky above the volcano was bright red, as if the sky was burning red.

There was a dead body lying in the sand in front of him, half of the body was buried in the sand. Zhao Fuyun walked over and saw that the body was dry, and the clothes on the body were torn and naked.

It fell on its back, its cheeks were so dry that they could no longer cover its teeth, and sand filled its mouth, including one of its eye sockets.

Zhao Fuyun stood by and looked at it.

Just as he was staring at the other person, the heat around him became higher and higher, and the mummy under his feet suddenly moved, and its hands hidden in the sand reached out to grab Zhao Fuyun's ankle.

Zhao Fuyun seemed to be prepared. He raised his foot and was already in the air.

At this time, more than ten mummies emerged from the sand. They made strange cries, which could go straight to the soul. Zhao Fuyun felt a headache and saw them waving their hands and throwing out balls of fire.

He spread out the sleeves in his hand, and the fireballs were waved away by his sleeves. His body turned and he seemed to be dancing in the air.

After a while, he felt that these things had no other abilities, so he thought about it, loosened his wrist, and the Yuan magnetic rainbow halo flew out, turning into a black rainbow halo that swept past. The mummies shattered under the impact of the halo, and none of the more than ten mummies were spared.

Zhao Fuyun felt that these should be the fire demons that Chi Xiao mentioned, people whose wills were taken away by the evil nature in the flames.

He reached out and took back the magnetic rainbow halo, and continued to move towards the volcano, no longer paying attention to the "fire demon" in the sand on the way.

As for why there is evil in the flames, if I were to explain it in detail, perhaps three days and three nights would not be enough.

When Zhao Fuyun finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, he discovered that the altar volcano was controlled by someone.

Many people were stopped at the foot of the mountain and were arguing with those who were trying to stop them.

There were also continuous gauze tents at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Fuyun went closer to listen carefully and found that the mountain was surrounded by an altar and volcano and a group of people. If one wanted to go up, one had to pay spirit stones.

Originally, people were free to climb the volcano, but suddenly someone started asking for money, so of course no one was willing to do that.

However, among this group of people, there were several people with great spiritual practice. After some of them who tried to force their way in were beaten and killed, no one dared to force their way in again for a while.

Zhao Fuyun looked up at the mountain and felt that the flames in the sky would definitely be of great help to his Red Flame Divine Lamp.

He walked around the altar volcano, listened to their insults in the crowd, and saw some people sneaking up the mountain.

After observing for a while, he silently chanted the spell in his heart: "Taixu Command: Hide!"

His body disappeared into the void and then walked towards the mountain.

He headed towards the mountain without disturbing anyone.

There were not many guards at the foot of the mountain. He did not take the normal route, but walked vertically along the wall of the altar volcano. When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, he found that a magic array had been set up there.

They knew in their hearts that they could not guard such a large altar, but no one came up. It turned out that they were guarding it.

He saw a crystal hanging there, which was rotating and refracting light in all directions in the sunlight.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the refracted light in front.

Immediately afterwards, a brilliant sword light fell from above and slashed towards the man's head.

The man whose invisibility was broken yelled, flew into the air, and turned into a puff of smoke falling downwards.
