C47 Encountering a formidable foe

"Brat, I never thought that this was a polar burning!" As Li Ye walked along the long cave path that glowed with red light, Qing Yijue's voice suddenly came into his mind.

Hearing that, Li Ye stopped, and looked around, the red light came from the depths of the cave, the path twisted, and no one knew what it was. However, the hot air in the passage surprised Li Ye, why was there such a hot air in the cave?

"Senior, is this a polar burning?" Li Ye was slightly happy, remembering what Qing Yijue had said before. The cold ailments on Jing Yue's body needed to be treated with the help of the polar burning.

"Yes, Soul Peak was originally a volcano, and the cave you are in right now is the volcano's mouth, which is why the air is so hot." Qing Yijue said again.

Li Ye carefully observed the walls of the tunnel, only to see that the walls were uneven, but incomparably smooth, going deeper in. The temperature of the tunnel was higher, and the ground was slowly going downwards, giving off the feeling of a crater.

He never thought that Soul Sect's Soul Peak would be a volcano. He didn't know if this volcano would erupt, or if Soul Sect's partial peak would be destroyed.

At that moment, a stone chamber appeared at the side of the tunnel in front of Li Ye, causing him to stop in his tracks. The stone chamber had a stone door that blocked his line of sight, but Li Ye already knew the use of the stone chamber. The stone chamber's temperature was even hotter, so the effect of cultivating inside was even better.

Walking forward again, Li Ye realized that many stone chamber s had appeared in front of him. After walking for more than ten steps, the air in front of him had thinned out, and Li Ye could feel that the air was stuck to him, making it difficult for him to move forward. There seemed to be a hot pressure in front, and only when his cultivation was higher, would he be able to continue moving forward.

Li Ye selected a stone chamber, then pushed open the stone door and entered.

There were no other furnishings within the stone chamber, it was completely empty within the square of the stone chamber. In the center of the room, there was a small hole on the ground, and a stream of hot steam floated out from the small hole, steaming the stone chamber until it was extremely hot.

"Brat, I never thought that Soul Sect would be so good. Hurry up and cultivate." Li Ye reminded Li Ye in his mind.

"Right." Li Ye nodded, walked to the small hole in the center of the stone chamber and sat down cross legged, and started to cultivate.

In the stone chamber, breathing was different from the outside world. When one was outside, breathing would allow the spiritual energy in the body to become more and more abundant, absorbing the spiritual energy in the outside world would transform it into spiritual energy. However, the stone chamber's air was thin and the amount of spirit energy it had was pitifully small, and with every breath it took, a strand of hot Qi entered its body and continued to roast the spirit energy in its body.

After cultivating for a few breaths of time, Li Ye discovered that the spirit force in his body had decreased a lot, but it had become even purer, causing a smile to appear on his face. After being roasted by the scorching Qi, the spiritual energy in his body was refined to the point of begging for essence. The amount of spiritual energy in his body had decreased, but it had become even more pure, and the power he could unleash was in no way weaker than before.

When Li Ye stayed in the Soul Peak to cultivate day after day, the Stormhawk had already surrounded the Lianyunshan Mountains as its king. With this small area of influence, the rest of the fierce beasts didn't dare to step foot in its territory.

The current Stormhawk, for some reason, had a purple tail that had completely turned scarlet, without the slightest bit of the former purple. Its body had also shrunk down to about three to four times the size of an ordinary eagle. It no longer had the majestic appearance from before, but the aura it exuded was even more astonishing, as if it had made a breakthrough.

Today's Stormhawk had snuck into the ground and then slowly approached the Soul Peak. Before, because of Li Ye's instructions, the Stormhawk had never stepped into the vicinity of the Soul Sect, but today, for some unknown reason, it had a faint interest towards the Soul Peak, as if there was something that attracted it.

The Stormhawk that was hiding underground suddenly sensed that Li Ye was not far from it after moving stealthily for a distance. Stormhawk who had not seen Li Ye for a long time, immediately rushed towards that direction when she sensed Li Ye.

However, before they got far, the Stormhawk suddenly felt the heat beneath its body, and started hissing. It then took a few steps back, and did not dare to step any further.

The temperature of the place became higher and higher, just as the Stormhawk was about to retreat, the soil in front of it suddenly burst open, and a burning hot Qi surged out from the broken soil, engulfing everything in flames!

"Hiss ~ ~ ~"

The Stormhawk was shocked, it turned and immediately retreated, but just as it turned around, its waist was wrapped up by the blazing tail, and then it dragged it back, "I never thought that after sleeping for so many years, I would actually encounter someone of the same kind, the heavens have eyes, I can borrow its body to escape from this damn place!"

In the eyes of the Stormhawk, the surrounding mud was pushed back rapidly as its body was pulled up to a point in the air before falling down. It was a sea of fiery red, a sea of scorching lava!

BOOM!

Li Ye suddenly opened his eyes, the stone chamber he was on started to shake violently, shocking him so much that he stood up and ran out of the stone chamber, only to see Wang Shi's fat body panicking and running out of the other side of the stone chamber.

"Junior Brother, you're here too. Run, I don't know what happened here, it seems to be collapsing!" The moment Wang Shi stepped out of the stone chamber, he saw Li Ye, and with a shout, he ran towards the exit.

Li Ye was startled, just now he seemed to have sensed that the Stormhawk was beside him, and was about to carefully sense its presence, but unexpectedly, the stone chamber suddenly started to shake, and the Stormhawk's Qi also disappeared.

"Little brat, go out first! This place is too dangerous. If you shake it violently, it might cause a volcano to erupt! " Qing Yijue said anxiously.

When Li Ye heard this, he could only put down other things before turning around and leaving the place quickly.

When Li Ye came out from the burn hole's entrance, he realised that the snow outside had all melted, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground. He stared at them in shock.

There were also dozens of people outside the burn hole. Among them, two of them were the guards from before, Wang Shi was among them, and Elder Yan from the Book Pavilion was also standing in the crowd with a serious expression. As for the others, Li Ye did not know them, they were mostly old people with extraordinary auras, who seemed to be important figures in the Soul Sect.

"Elder Yan, the burn hole of your Soul Peak is shaking like this, could it be that the eagle has broken free from the Lava Seal?" An old man with a head full of white hair stood at the very front, his brows faintly heavy.

"Master, that eagle shouldn't be able to escape. It's just a hollow soul body, and will only become weaker and weaker under the burn hole's magma. It's impossible to escape from it." Elder Yan said respectfully.

When Li Ye heard this conversation, he knew that the old man in front of him, who was as white as snow, was actually the Master s of the Soul Sect. As for the other few old men beside Elder Yan, they were also elders of the Soul Sect.

At this moment, Master of the Soul Sect looked at Li Ye who was walking out of the burn hole, and asked: "Did you see anything under burn hole?"

Master of the Soul Sect's words first caused Li Ye to be stunned, he never thought that Master would personally ask him about it, but after he returned to his senses, he said, "Disciple didn't see anything, he only felt a slight tremble, and then, he ran out."

It was also only that moment just now that the entire burn hole had recovered its calm. However, the shaking earlier was just too intense, so it was likely that the other disciples of the Soul Peak also felt the ground shaking.

"No one is allowed to divulge anything that has happened today. This is a secret of the Soul Sect!" Master of the Soul Sect said with an unquestionable tone. After that, he looked at burn hole with the rest of the people behind him. After failing to discover anything else, they all left the Soul Peak together.

After the group left, Li Ye turned his head to look at the burn hole. Although he could not see the situation inside the burn hole clearly, but he was suspicious, was this burn hole's Soul Sect secret? It seemed like there was more to it than just cultivation. There must be something else.

For the next half month, Soul Peak s were sealed up and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Even the first three disciples of Soul Peak were not allowed to enter. And every single day for the past half a month, Master of the Soul Sect would bring along the rest of the elders to the Soul Peak to inspect. However, looking at their expressions, one probably wouldn't be able to find anything.

Finally, a month later, the burn hole opened again and Li Ye once again entered the burn hole to cultivate. During the month and a half that burn hole was closed off, Li Ye told Jing Yue about burn hole's situation. At that time, he could use burn hole to treat the latter's cold injuries.

However, there was one more problem. Jing Yue was not in the top three of Soul Peak, he could not even be considered a Soul Sect disciple. If you can't enter the burn hole, then you can't cure your cold injuries. This has become a problem to you.

Sunlight poured down from the sky, and after a while, the heat cut through the clouds, shining on the Soul Peak, casting mottled shadows among the houses in the dense forest. Halfway up the mountain, Soul Peak was already packed with people. Many disciples were standing in front of the Book Pavilion, waiting for it to open.

It had been three months since the burn hole was shaken. Now, many of the Soul Peak disciples had a new expectation for Junior Brother Li Ye, whose cultivation had quickly caught up to the top three back then. I wonder if Junior Brother can surpass Eldest Senior Sister Bai Yu after a few months of cultivation?

And after three months of cultivation in the burn hole, Li Ye had indeed made a breakthrough and successfully entered the lower Soul Scholar realm. An ordinary Inferior Grade Soul Scholar cultivator ought to have a arm strength of just over two thousand five hundred kilograms. However, due to the hidden effect of the battle tactics, Li Ye's arm strength was already comparable to Soul Man Stage experts of the same realm.

An Inferior Grade Soul Man Ranker's arm strength was five thousand kilograms, while Li Ye was only short of five hundred kilograms. To a Soul Cultivator, this naturally had an extraordinary significance. In the process of fighting, the enemy will ignore your arm strength and close combat because you are a Soul Cultivator, but if you suddenly use your true arm strength, the opponent will definitely suffer a loss.
