The grey dolphin lived there, and if Gui Li came, without the help of the little grey dolphin that had eaten the Heavenly Emperor's Nether Stone, he would have a hard time finding that little thing.
However, this was a minor issue for Li Qingan.
Once the Bagua diagram formed by the runes appeared in his eyes, the contents of the copper bell were completely exposed to him.
With a mere wave of his hand, the grey porpoise died silently inside the copper bell.
There was no movement.
Li Qingan looked relaxed and continued walking.
When he reached a fork in the road with more than a dozen intersections, Li Qingan ran into two acquaintances.
It was Li Xun and Yan Hong. The two of them were frowning and looking stern as they walked towards the important area of Burning Incense Valley, which was in the direction of the Mysterious Fire Altar.
At the invitation of Valley Master Yun Yilan, they went to Xuanhuo Altar to invite Shangguan Ce.
Let him decide what happens to the fish-men at the valley entrance.
Li Qingan smiled calmly; it just so happened that someone was leading the way.
He hadn't greeted Shangguan Ce in a long time.
After he mistakenly got caught up in the conflict between the Qingyun Sect and the Demonic Sect, he returned to Fenxiang Valley and never went out again.
Firstly, now that Dao Xuan has entered the Taiqing Realm, Fenxiang Valley has fallen to a lower level and can only wait for Yun Yilan to break through.
Secondly, the younger generation surpasses the older, and Li Qing'an's pressure extends beyond the younger generation; the older generation faces immense pressure as well. This is especially true for Shangguan Ce, who harbors a grudge against Li Qing'an. Although he is arrogant, even if Li Qing'an were to establish his own lineage, he would at most lose more often than he would win in a fight, but he could not kill Shangguan Ce.
But he didn't want to experience that humiliation a second time.
The second level inside the Xuanhuo Altar.
"Three hundred years have passed, and you fox spirit are still tough enough!"
Shangguan Ce looked at the shadowy Nine Heavens in the dark and spoke slowly.
It has been three hundred years since the Xuanhuo Mirror was lost from his possession.
From that moment on, finding the Xuanhuo Mirror became his obsession.
It's a pity that, for three hundred years, the nine-tailed celestial fox has refused to utter a single word.
"Old ghost Shangguan, don't you pride yourself on being the best in Burning Incense Valley? You even look down on that old bastard Yun Yilan."
"What's going on? We can't even find a Xuanhuo Mirror now!"
A deep, desolate female voice came from the shadows.
"You'd better pray that we don't find those two fox demons, or I'll bring them here and skin them alive in front of you!"
Shangguan Ce's face darkened, and he retorted sarcastically,
"The fox pelt of the six-tailed fox must be extremely rare!"
Chapter 210 Eight Fierce Profound Fire Formation! Crimson Flame Beast!
The entrance to Incense Valley.
Blood was flowing like a river at this moment. More than a hundred tall fishmen were yelling at the disciples of Burning Incense Valley, and their strange weapons were showing no mercy.
Aside from the severed limbs on the ground, dozens of disciples of the Incense Valley were still fighting valiantly against the merfolk's attack.
Among the disciples of Burning Incense Valley, Lü Shun was in charge of directing operations that day.
At this moment, his face looked extremely pale, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
He felt that something was very wrong ever since the merfolk chieftain died mysteriously that night.
However, with the current crisis and the continuous deaths of fishmen and disciples of the Incense Valley, he had no time to think too much.
He could only try his best to resist the fishmen's attack, and secretly prayed that Li Xun would quickly call Shangguan Ce.
Without Yun Yilan taking action, he is the only one in the entire Burning Incense Valley who can intimidate the barbarian tribes.
In a secret battle with the Southern Barbarians a hundred years ago, Shangguan Ce displayed his incredible power with his ice magic, intimidating the sixty-three alien tribes of the Southern Barbarians.
If a powerful figure cannot be brought in to keep order, the Fishmen, grieving the shame of their chieftain's death, might disregard everything and risk their entire clan dying here to cause trouble for Burning Incense Valley.
Of course, in doing so, Incense Valley will also have to pay a huge price.
This was something that Lü Shun, as a leader of the united barbarians, could not tolerate.
........
At this moment, Shangguan Ce, who was highly anticipated by the disciples of Fenxiang Valley, had a heated argument with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox.
Upon arriving outside the Xuanhuo Altar, Li Xun and Yan Hong prepared to head towards the entrance of the valley.
Li Qing'an followed the two of them past the stone tablet of the Xuanhuo Land and arrived at an open space.
In the center of the open space was a huge circular altar, suspended in mid-air, supported by thirteen massive white jade pillars, each three zhang tall.
Above the altar, all the buildings were constructed from a strange, crimson stone. In the center of the altar stood a tall, magnificent hall, shaped like a pagoda, with three stories.
From a distance, it looks like a burning red flame, turning the surrounding sky a deep crimson.
Li Qingan flashed and arrived at the bottom of the Xuanhuo Altar from the outside.
Upon entering the Xuanhuo Altar, the surrounding fire intensified several times over, and even the air seemed to be distorted by the heat.
The little Luo on my shoulder made a gurgling sound. As a water-type creature, it naturally felt uncomfortable in this fire-type place.
However, before long, Xiao Luo had mastered the art of creating a thin layer of moisture around herself.
As Li Qingan approached, he also heard the voices of several people talking.
Just then, the three of them walked down from the Xuanhuo Altar. Shangguan Ce, dressed in gray, frowned as he recalled the scene of being mocked by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox inside the Xuanhuo Altar. A nameless anger rose in his heart.
"How's the investigation into the Mystic Fire Mirror going?"
Li Xun gave a wry smile and shook his head. "Uncle-Master Shangguan, there has been no news about the Xuanhuo Mirror for ten years. In the past, we could still find out the whereabouts of the demon fox from time to time, but now we can't even find the demon fox."
Shangguan Ce frowned even more deeply.
"Have you found out anything about the Qingyun Sect? Is it confirmed that the Xuanhuo Mirror is in Li Qing'an's hands? I need definite information!"
Li Xun shook his head again.
Although they had always suspected it, they had no evidence.
Meanwhile, seeing the two getting further and further away from their conversation, Yan Hong said, "Uncle-Master, let's deal with the fish-men at the entrance of the valley first!"
"As long as the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is still around, there's no need to worry about the Xuanhuo Mirror disappearing!"
Seeing Yan Hong speak like this, Shangguan Ce lost interest in talking, snorted, and began to inquire about the fish-people.
As the three walked and talked, they saw the sounds of fighting and brawling rising again at the entrance, with angry shouts and howls filling the air. Their expressions changed drastically.
They sped towards the entrance of the valley.
Seeing the three leave, Li Qing'an stepped onto the steps of the Xuanhuo Altar, which consisted of three levels and a total of one hundred and eight steps.
It is quite particular.
Li Qingan walked for a while longer and arrived at a heavy, solid door on the Xuanhuo Altar.
With a creak, the heavy door was slowly pushed open by Li Qing'an.
After pushing the door open, the red light inside intensified, and the temperature inside became even hotter.
However, these were still minor issues for Li Qing'an.
But Li Qingan couldn't help but think that Shangguan Ce, as someone who plays with ice, had been guarding this place for so long, which showed his extreme patience.
Without much thought, Li Qing'an strode towards the center of the main hall.
The entire hall is made of reddish-brown rock, naturally unadorned, which makes it appear rather simple and unpretentious.
Meanwhile, the red flame in the center seemed to be burning even more fiercely.
Li Qingan turned his gaze away from the flames and looked at the surrounding walls.
There are eight fierce and ferocious stone carvings of gods on the wall.
Moreover, these eight fierce stone carvings all surround the red light source, forming a peculiar formation.
Li Qing'an looked solemn, his eyes flashing with white light as he gazed at the scene.
If he is not mistaken, the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Formation, one of the three original formations in the world of Jade Dynasty, is located here.
Li Qingan should learn a thing or two from this.
However, since Li Qing'an developed the "True Secrets of Array Formation," these array formations could only serve as a reference for him.
It's unlikely that you can make significant changes to your formation.
However, since the Profound Fire Mirror is in his hands, it wouldn't be a bad idea to add an Eight Fiends Profound Fire Array to Heavenly Array Peak after thoroughly studying this place.
Perfectly, the flames from this formation are excellent materials for refining weapons and alchemy.
Li Qingan, who has a slight collecting obsession, said that Tianzhen Peak would be incomplete without the Eight Fiends Profound Fire Array!
Meanwhile, Li Qing'an kept looking around, examining the obvious incantations and the hidden runes.
Soon, Li Qing'an spotted a fire-element rune from the ancient well not far away that was extremely similar to the one in the Xuanhuo Mirror.
Li Qing'an's vision began after that day's formation peak 'Changshan', continued for ten years until the final improvement of the Yin-Yang Chaos Gathering Spirit Array.
Now, without even needing a system panel, one can easily see the patterns in the earth veins and then analyze the runes contained within them.
Li Qing'an was also very straightforward in naming it. Since it could discover the patterns in the earth's veins and the heavens and earth, he named it "Awakening Heaven Divine Eye".
With the help of this divine eye, Li Qing'an's array formation cultivation will undoubtedly improve much faster.
Just as Li Qingan was observing,
In the main hall.
The eighth fierce god stone carving has also lit up, and a desolate howling sound began to echo in the hall, along with the wind that kept spinning.
A flame totem begins to appear.
This is the Crimson Flame Beast.
The Eight Fierce Mystic Fire Formation, guarded by the Crimson Flame Beast, is the only way to enter the Mystic Fire Altar on the third level.
