Zhao Li Xin is inside his ring, he is meditating inside the golden pagoda the golden flame twirl around him, the crystal can't hold his raging fire anymore and so the frozen bath means nothing but gives him slight comfort only inside the spatial rings his power could contain, the robes who used to be fine slightly scorched because of his intense burning.
The robes he wears are specially made from silkworms who drink Huo Long blood, not every silkworm survives after it drinks the dragon blood if Zhao Li Xin makes a hundred silkworms drink Huo Long blood only five would remain. The worm who survived evolved as blood silkworm, the thread from the blood silkworm is the only thread that can withstand the immortal flame that's why every time he used immortal flame his robes never burn out. But after he gets stronger the robes seem to show troubles to withstand his fire.
?
The flame twirl around him at first it moves like wildfire but after a while, the flame gradually calmed down and it twirls around him slowly before it disappear, Zhao Li Xin open his eyes and take a deep breath, she raised from his seat, the flame might be disappeared but her veins feel scorching hot.
he got out from the pagoda to the beach near the pagoda then he takes off all of his robes and soaked himself in the seawater, suddenly the white smoked immersed with the sound of 'Hish' as if he was hot steel soaked inside the cold water.
The cold seawater cools him down he stabilizes the qi inside him moves the power from his veins to his dantian bit by bit the power absorbed by his dantian and his body becomes more comfortable.
"Welcome to the sage level"
Zhao Li Xin raised his head and a man with fiery red hair smiles arrogantly, Zhao Li Xin didn't make any comment the wave hit his tall firm body, it splashes his naked body make his skin glistening under the red sky his wet long dark hair draped in front of his chest his black eyes void from the joy of what he had been accomplice, he looks like an immortal god, beautiful and cold even Huo Long mesmerized for a second.
He steps out of the water and Huo Long handed him a black robe to cover himself, Zhao Li Xin retrieved the robes after he put on the robes his face looks gloomy "This still not enough" he said with a low voice.
Huo Long raised his eyebrows "Against that entity? Of course not…"
"The map I give you, is it authentic?" he clasped one of his hands behind his back.
"It is, let me show you" Huo Long beckoned him to follow him back to the golden pagoda, they climb to the fifth floor where the library is, on the fifth floor the wooden bookshelf stand tall to the ceiling in the middle there's a giant rectangle table made of jade on the top of the table scrap of paper made from animal skin and a big scroll of map lay on the table.
"This is the map you got and this is my old map" Huo Long open the map but the end of the map was torn, he opens the scroll on the table then he takes the map from Zhao Li Xin and arranged them together.
The map shows them a red triangle "What is this?"
"Di Yu mountain," said Huo Long.
"I never heard Di Yu mountain before"
"Just like you said the face of the world would change after few millennia" Huo Long cross his arms on the chest "Long time ago this mountain called Di Yu but I don't know what you called today"
"Many pieces are missing" Zhao Li Xin sighs.
He opens the scroll widely than he sees a painting of a sword with a gold handle cover with red gemstones, the handle of the sword carved like a dragon scales, he never seen a magnificent weapon like this, he doesn't think he has the ability to create something close with this, even this is just the painting but he can feel the strength and the greatness of the swords, he can't help but look the painting with awe.
"That is crimson lightning," said Huo Long with a deep baritone voice "Beautiful isn't it, there's no weapon as beautiful or as strong as this one," he said with inexplicable expression.
"What do you know about this weapon, don't you dare to say you know nothing, I can see in you're eyes, this weapon mean something to you"
Huo Long stifles, he pulls the chair from the corner then he takes a seat, his hand clasped above his stomach "The weapon made for the first king" he said.
"First King? Like Ming Yue Yin ancestor?" Zhao Li Xin frown.
"Nooo, silly not like that" he scoffed, he stifles then continue "The first King of all Kings" he grinned "When the world is young and human roam aimlessly in this world, one chooses to lead them all the 'True King' they said, the one who blessed by a great power to protect humans kind"
"Sound troublesome jobs" Zhao Li Xin doesn't feel impressed.
"It is…" he agrees "Especially when human is not the best creatures who know to be grateful," he said with cynical smiles.
"So, one day after reign for centuries the King suddenly disappeared with the crimson Lightning, some people said he was dead and only a few of his close subordinated knew where is the King burial location, to hide the King tomb the king subordinated torn the king burial location map into five pieces, we already have two pieces so three more to go…" Huo Long clapped his hands excitedly.
"I don't understand" Zhao Li Xin abruptly said, "If they want to hide it why torn the map, why don't they burn it instead, as if….they waiting for someone to find it?"
Huo Long mysteriously smiles "What once start would begin again"
Zhao Li Xin frown with puzzled looks "What's that supposed to mean?"
Huo Long raised from his seat then he patted Zhao Li Xin's shoulder "Go home, you're princess is waiting" then he got out of the room nonchalantly.
Zhao Li Xin knitted his eyebrows, he still has a lot to ask but the old lizard seems reluctant to talk further, he takes a deep breath than he closed his eyes and his presence suddenly disappeared.
Huo Long feel Zhao Li Xin's presence disappeared it means he has left the spatial ring, he approaches the Clift watching the volcano mountain in a distance, he sighs then turn around "I give him your message…" he said.
Suddenly a woman with silver hair and grey eyes smiles back at him "Thank you" she walks slowly then she stands next to Huo Long.
"Arthea, are you sure about this… they are no turning back after this" he looks at with an inexplicable expression.
Arthea smiles calmly "They're is no turning back since that day, it is timed to end everything"
Huo Long clench his fist, his eyes filled with anxiety "That boy and the Princess what would happen to them?"
"It takes two to complete the prophecy, once can not go without the other, will they succeed or not even I couldn't tell, but I pray for them….I pray with all my heart that we will have what we wish"
"What do you wish Arthea?"
