After walking for about ten breaths, they arrived in front of a wooden house in the forest. They saw an old man in a red robe and with a ruddy face pushing open the door of the wooden house and walking out.
Zhu Zhihua and Li Rushan both smiled when they saw the old man.
"grandfather!"
"father!"
After the two of them addressed him respectively, Ye Li finally realized that this old man should be the Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint.
"Huahua, Shan'er, why are you here!?"
The old man did not seem to have expected that the visitors would be his daughter and grandson. While he was happy, a look of confusion also appeared on his face.
"Dad, I came here this time to bring Shan'er and his good friend to participate in the Skyfire Trial."
Zhu Zhihua had not been here in the past three days, so she did not tell her father the reason for coming here.
The Skyfire Talisman Saint was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Why did Shan'er come to participate in the Skyfire Trial?"
Zhu Zhihua thought about it and told Tianhuo Fusheng everything that had happened before. After listening to Tianhuo Fusheng, a look of noncommittal appeared on his face.
After a moment of silence, he said, “I understand, so that’s what’s going on.
I said back then that I would no longer interfere in any affairs of the clan, so this time, I just need to know the cause, and I will not interfere with how you deal with it.
If they can pass the test of heavenly fire and you finally decide to help Shan'er, then I will help. If you decide not to help, then I will not help either.
However, I estimate that it is unlikely that I will take action. If I really go to Tangjing City, the most likely thing is that Brother Tiankui and I will stand by and watch you fight.
After all, Fu Saints usually don't fight each other, and the gap between me and Brother Tiankui is not that big. If we don't want to decide the winner and just want to delay time, we can fight for three days and three nights.
My existence is just to restrain Brother Tiankui on the surface."
Hearing what her father said, Zhu Zhihua smiled and said, "Dad, I know, as long as you don't object, that's all.
Whether they can pass the test is up to them. If they pass, they will have to trouble Dad later."
Zhu Zhiyan showed a hint of disappointment on his face. He originally thought that Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint would stop Zhu Zhihua, but he didn't expect that Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint had no intention of stopping them.
"Okay, both of you go in now. The Skyfire Domain is right here. I will open the entrance for you!"
Tianhuo Fusheng was easy-going. He smiled at Li Rushan and Ye Li, then led them towards the strange area surrounded by a group of crimson rocks.
Walking into the area surrounded by red rocks, Ye Li discovered that there were countless small red rocks here.
Runes were engraved on the rocks, forming an enormous rune formation in the area.
The Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint led the two of them to an open area in the center, and then a ball of red fire spiritual energy surged out of his hands.
When the fire spiritual energy was slapped on the ground, it began to connect and penetrate the surrounding red rocks according to a certain pattern.
This huge rune formation was immediately activated, and a red light gate gradually appeared in front of Ye Li and Li Rushan.
“Come in quickly, this is the Skyfire Region.
When you pass the test, you only need to touch the final crystal to be teleported out."
The Heavenly Fire Talisman Saint said to the two of them.
Ye Li and Li Rushan looked at each other, nodded, and then strode into the red light gate in front of them.
The scene in front of their eyes flashed, and the bodies of the two were teleported to a red world.
They were standing on a black rock, and the road ahead was paved with red lava.
The clouds in the sky were also a fiery red color, with streams of green air flowing from time to time, causing strong winds to blow the fire even more fiercely.
"This... Most of the spiritual energy here is wind and fire. Although there is spiritual energy of other attributes, it seems very thin!"
Ye Li felt the situation around him and started speaking.
Li Rushan stretched out his hand and waved it. A seal rune appeared in his hand. It was a talisman with two lines of wind and fire.
A storm swept the fire dragon and rushed into the distance in an instant. The power seemed quite huge.
“The Skyfire Clan is a peculiar race. All members of this clan with this bloodline are born with the roots of the wind and fire attributes.
I inherited my mother's bloodline, so I also possess the two lines of wind and fire talisman roots.
The main spiritual energy attributes here are wind and fire, which means that what is being tested here should be the ability of the children of the Skyfire Clan to use wind and fire."
Li Rushan speculated.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly, and a ball of fire appeared on his palm.
He walked to the front of the magma and stretched out his flaming palm towards the magma.
The flame on the magma suddenly jumped up and burned towards Ye Li's palm, but a part of it was instantly assimilated by the flame in Ye Li's hand and blocked outside.
"So that's what it means. If the person taking the test has a high enough grasp of the power of fire, he or she can control the fire to protect themselves and merge their own fire with the fire in the magma. This way, they can prevent the magma fire from hurting people.
If the power of wind blows and increases the power of the flame, then the people taking the test will also have to adjust their own strength so that they can cope with the changes in the flame. I think this is the meaning of this lava road."
Ye Li said while staring at the magma.
Li Rushan nodded and said, "I think so too, but it's not easy!"
As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the lava and began to imitate Ye Li, releasing a fire spell around himself. Immediately, the power of fire wrapped around his feet.
Li Rushan took a step onto the magma, and the surrounding flames quickly gathered towards him and merged with the flames around him to help him withstand the heat brought by the flames.
However, Ye Li could see at a glance that the fire controlled by Li Rushan was far inferior to the fire controlled by Ye Li.
The degree of fusion between Li Rushan's flame and the flame in the magma is not high, which means that if the flame around him wants to resist the burning of the magma fire, it will need to consume more spiritual energy.
What Ye Li can do with one point of spiritual energy, Li Rushan may need to spend three points of spiritual energy to accomplish. In this way, his consumption of spiritual energy is at least three times that of Ye Li.
The loss of three times the spiritual energy may not make any noticeable difference in a short period of time, but as they stay in the magma longer, the difference will become more obvious.
Li Rushan couldn't hold on for too long. Once his spiritual energy was exhausted, he would be burned to death here.
