Next, Huo Qilin led Wutan and the other two to stroll around the cave, where they saw various kinds of royal and holy medicines.
During the period, they met Xiao Wuhao. They saw him touching here and looking there, sometimes grabbing a handful of soil and sniffing it, and sometimes running to the royal medicine and the holy medicine to smell them. After watching him for a while, they didn't understand what he was doing, so they continued to appreciate the holy medicine.
That’s right! Just appreciate it!
Huo Qilin finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Aren't you curious at all about where Di Tian is? Or are you worried about whether he is really still alive?"
Han Tian joked, "Of course we are curious, but you have to tell us! As for whether he is alive or not, you are in the mood to hang out here, so I think he should be fine!"
"Well!"
The Fire Qilin was stunned. It had been wandering around for so long just wanting the three of them to take the initiative to ask, but it didn't expect that the three of them were as shrewd as old foxes and had already seen through its purpose.
"Let's go! I'll take you to the upper level." The Fire Kirin shook its big head, soared into the sky, and flew towards the entrance of the secret passage where they came from.
"You little bastard, you want to compete with us in patience and scheming? Why don't you just take a piss and look in the mirror?" Han Tian laughed evilly.
"Even if it looks in the mirror, it is still the wild beast Fire Qilin, and no one can change it." Tian Gang said coldly.
"I'm telling you, can you please stop being like Sayoko and always sabotaging me?" Han Tian said unhappily.
"Hey! If you're speaking human language, I certainly won't say anything." Tian Gang chuckled and disappeared in a flash.
"You are not a human being, little cannon. Don't run. I will beat you to death today." Han Tian was furious and chased after him quickly.
"Little Cannon?" Wutan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head speechlessly and followed step by step without haste.
Returning to the secret passage, the three followed the Fire Kirin and walked a dozen steps to the left, then they saw a secret door. After the secret door was opened, a stone staircase extending upwards appeared.
"It's right up there, but let me tell you first, don't be too surprised when you get up there." Huo Qilin gave a warning and led the three of them slowly up there.
For some reason, when walking up the stone stairs, Wutan clearly felt that Fire Kirin's mood had changed.
Moreover, Wutan also felt that the aura that gave him a very contradictory feeling was coming from above the stone stairs!
The stone stairs had more than 3,000 steps. According to the speed of the few people, they could reach the top in about a hundred breaths even if they just walked.
However, the further they went, the heavier the Fire Kirin's steps became, and the more solemn the atmosphere became. It finally took half an hour to reach the top of the stone stairs and appear in front of a pool of blood.
The blood in the blood pool was not ordinary blood, but extremely viscous plasma. It did not have the bloody smell, but instead exuded an extremely rich fragrance!
The entire blood pool is about a hundred feet wide, and it is unknown how deep it is. However, judging from the more than three thousand stone steps, it is probably several hundred feet deep.
Such a huge blood pool is actually filled with plasma. If it were left outside, it would definitely cause a sensation in the entire cemetery of gods and demons, causing countless creatures to scramble for it!
But at this moment, Wutan and the other two just took a quick glance at the blood pool and then moved their gaze above it.
In the center of the blood pool, in the void three meters high, a young man with extraordinary appearance and wearing a fiery red robe was lying there quietly.
He was completely unaware of the arrival of Wu Tian and his companions. Judging from his expression, he seemed to be in a deep sleep. Everything was so peaceful and quiet that one could not bear to disturb him...
"Why is this happening..."
Staring at the man intently, Wutan's eyes were a little moist, and he kept muttering to himself, but his voice was very, very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up the man in red and ruining his good dream.
"Fire Qilin, can you tell me why this happened? Didn't you say he was saved? Why hasn't he woken up yet? Why?"
Han Tian clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his face twitched. It was obvious that his emotions were about to get out of control. However, he was whispering throughout the whole process. Like Wujit, he was afraid of disturbing Di Tian!
That’s right!
The man in red was none other than their close friend, Di Tian!
However, the Emperor Tian they actually saw, the Emperor Tian they imagined, and the Emperor Tian they vaguely understood from the Fire Kirin were completely different. He had not awakened, but was still sleeping, an endless sleep!
"To be honest, Di Tian hasn't woken up in the past few hundred years." Huo Qilin said sadly.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Wu Tian whispered.
"When I saw you for the first time, I wanted to tell you the truth."
Huo Qilin sighed, "But when I thought of your friendship with Di Tian, I changed my mind. I didn't want you to know too soon and fall into sadness, so I planned to wait until you saw it with your own eyes before telling you."
"Go ahead!" Wu Tian said.
"When we were sent here by the mysterious person, I immediately gave Di Tian a drop of water of life. His injuries were quickly healed, but he didn't wake up for a long time. It wasn't until the third year that the mysterious voice appeared again. I finally understood why Di Tian didn't wake up for a long time."
"What's the reason?" Several people looked over.
"Emperor Tian is missing a soul!" Fire Qilin said word by word.
"Missing a soul?" Upon hearing this, Wutan frowned immediately.
“All things in the world have three souls and seven spirits. Similarly, the three souls and seven spirits are also the foundation of human survival. If one soul or one spirit is missing, one will not die completely, but will fall into an eternal sleep until the three souls and seven spirits gather together, and then they can wake up.” At this time, Xiao Wuhao came up and explained.
Hearing this, Wu Tian hurriedly looked at Huo Qilin and asked, "Did that mysterious person tell me where the missing soul of Di Tian is?"
"I have said so." Fire Kirin said in a deep voice: "The soul that Emperor Tian lost is in the hands of the false god!"
"What? I was actually controlled by him!" Wutan was shocked and his eyes immediately sank.
"Yes, this is what the mysterious man said himself. He said that during the three years he disappeared, he was looking for the reason why Emperor Tian could not wake up. As a result, in the Fire Mountain Range, he used his great magic power to trace the origin and found that Emperor Tian's soul was captured by the divine consciousness of a false god!"
Fire Kirin's tone was gloomy, filled with endless murderous intent and anger!
"Damn bastard!" Han Tian cursed.
With his eyes flickering, Xiao Wuhao asked, "Didn't the mysterious person say he would help take back that soul?"
"No, after he told me this, he never showed up again. Later, I figured it out. It's better to rely on myself than on others. So I practiced hard, but until I broke through to the initial stage of the celestial being, I couldn't break the seal, let alone find the false god."
Huo Qilin sighed deeply, and these few simple words expressed all the sadness and helplessness he had felt over the years.
Tian Gang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were firm, and he said: "Don't worry, we will find a way to take back Di Tian's soul from the hands of the false god, even if it means death!"
"Thank you!" Huo Qilin's eyes were filled with tears.
The words were simple, but they showed sincerity, without any falsehood.
Staring at the figure in the air ahead, it roared in its heart, Di Tian, did you see that? Although I am powerless to save you alone, now, the only few friends in your life are here, I believe they will definitely wake you up...
"well!"
With a sigh in his heart, Wutan turned around and wandered around the place aimlessly. Finally, he walked into an empty stone chamber, sat silently on a stubborn stone, and looked sad.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Qilin stepped into the stone chamber and explained, "In fact, the blood pool and the fountain of life are inside the statue of the Bull God of the Blood Mane Clan, and this place is exactly in the head of the Bull God statue."
Wutan remained silent. He had already thought of this and there was nothing strange about it.
After looking at Wutan, Huo Qilin shook his head and walked towards the front of the stone chamber. There were two stone holes inlaid with an unknown chip. Through the chip, one could clearly see the scenery outside.
The Fire Kirin stopped in front of one of the caves, seemingly talking to himself, or explaining something to Wutan.
"It was through the chip and the blood-maned bull that I learned that this is the Sea of Death in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons. I also tried to escape from here, but with my strength, I couldn't destroy the chip and the statue at all."
Han Tian and others also walked in one after another.
Xiao Wuhao said calmly: "This statue has obviously been tempered by divine power, and the chip is the eye membrane of the blood-maned bull. According to my guess, the owner of this chip has at least exceeded the heavenly human stage. With your current strength, you naturally cannot break it."
"Then how did you get in?" Huo Qilin asked puzzledly.
“Haha! You don’t know yet! In fact, Wujiteng has a heaven-destroying war body, and his blood can break all seals.” Tiangang said.
"Heaven-destroying Battle Body!"
Huo Qilin was startled, staring at Wu Tian for a long time, shaking his head and said: "I didn't expect that the boy who desperately pursued power back then was actually the strongest combat body in the ancient times. No wonder you were able to break the seal and enter here."
Wutan did not answer. He walked to another cave and looked through the chip. The Bull King, the ten bull kings, the Bull Demon Leader and so on were all in sight.
However, the blood-maned bulls paid no attention to them and would probably never imagine that the fountain of life and human beings were hidden in the statue of the bull god they worshipped.
"Since Di Tian has fallen into a deep sleep, why does he emit a wisp of aura and even pass through the seal and spread to the Sea of Death?" After a while, Wutan's voice sounded, full of doubts.
"What? The breath can actually break the seal and enter the Sea of Death?" To Wu Tian's surprise, Huo Qilin expressed complete ignorance when he heard this.
"We found it based on this energy." Wutan nodded.
“It’s incredible!”
The Fire Kirin said that a few days ago, a breath suddenly emerged from Emperor Tian's body. It noticed it at the first moment, but it did not expect that it could actually penetrate the seal.
Moreover, it also said that this was the first time such a situation had happened. At that time, it thought that Di Tian had awakened. However, when it rushed here with great excitement, it found that it was a false alarm.
