Hiding in the lava pool, Xiang Shaoyun waited until everything was completely silent outside the pool. Then he waited some more before silently peeking out of the pool. The sight of him turning this lava pool into his personal swimming pool would drive anyone crazy.

Was that a human or was that a monster? After taking a quick glimpse, Xiang Shaoyun activated his Nether Soul Domain and extended his senses upward. The range he could sense with his Nether Soul Domain had expanded greatly, and he was also able to sense his surroundings in much clearer detail now.

The reason for that was that as his cultivation level grew, his soul power also grew. Thus, the Nether Soul Domain also benefited in his growth of strength. He could sense that there were a lot of flame beasts outside the crater. Every now and then, there would be humans rus.h.i.+ng to the crater.

They were not what he was looking for. He only wanted to locate the King Realm expert who had attacked the lava pool. After focusing on sensing his surroundings for a bit, he finally discovered two people in a concealed corner near the crater.

The two were able to completely ignore the concentrated power of flame in the air and were able to stay completely undetected by the flame beasts. It was apparent how strong they were.

It's them! They are indeed still around! Xiang Shaoyun thought to himself.

After discovering the two, he withdrew his senses and sank back into the lava pool and started thinking of a countermeasure to deal with the situation. He could not leave immediately, but he had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it was only a matter of time before someone found him.

He came to the decision after noticing the events outside the crater. The fire was extinguis.h.i.+ng, and the power of flame was receding. It was too obvious that something had happened to the millennium earthcore fire. Just the receding power of flame alone was enough reason for the Cloud Margin Pavilion to keep sending over experts.

Yun Flame is on me, so it is no longer possible for it to release a large amount of flame power to ignite the mountain again. How should I get the two away from here then? Xiang Shaoyun sank into deep thought.

After spending two hours thinking about it, he finally thought of a solution. His solution was to allow the millennium earthcore fire to show itself and attract everyone's attention. He could then take the chance to flee. As for how to make a millennium earthcore fire appear, he would need to have a nice chat with Yun Flame about it.

Xiang Shaoyun was well aware that Yun Flame had full control over the flame in the area. If he could create a false appearance somewhere, he would have the opportunity to slip away. Since he had already fused with Yun Flame, the moment he came up with the idea, Yun Flame reacted and transmitted a response to him.

”Master, you can allow me to release a strand of my power. That strand can directly go through the wall here to the outside world. That will be enough” was Yun Flame's reply.

Yun Flame wasn't exactly talking to his mind or anything. Those words were only a vague thought conveyed directly to Xiang Shaoyun's mind that only he could understand anyway. There were two reasons why he could now understand Yun Flame. First, they were now essentially the same ent.i.ty. Secondly, he was able to maintain a certain connection with Yun Flame relying on the flame taming technique.

That was what was great about the ancient flame taming technique. The technique also contained details about how a flame could develop a full consciousness after reaching a high enough level and becoming a sacred flame or even a divine flame. At that time, a flame would be able to start speaking human tongue.

When Xiang Shaoyun first learned about it, he lamented that everything was indeed possible in this big world. He did as told and sent a strand of Yun Flame's power out of his body. The strand of power moved along with Yun Flame's will and directly phased through the wall into the world outside.

Please work, Xiang Shaoyun prayed inwardly.

He then sank back into the pool, waiting for the perfect opportunity to escape. The strand of power arrived at a certain mountain ridge before it suddenly surged in power. Instantly, that area was put on fire once again. The people near the ridge noticed the sudden change of the flame power in the air and were endlessly excited at the realization.

”The millennium earthcore fire has shown itself! It's here! There's no mistaking it! Just feel the intense power of flame in the air!”

”Yes, it's really the millennium earthcore fire! I must obtain it!”
