Chapter 1324: A Possibility (1/2)

Lou Hongyan, the Divine Daughter of the fire element sect, also perceived the unusually intense spatial fluctuations that were coming from below them.

Confusion filled her face as she exclaimed, “What’s happening?”

Peng Yan and the other elders of the fire element sect went blank for a few seconds before their expressions suddenly flickered.

One of the elders couldn’t help but exclaim, “Pang Chicheng! He must have been back here some time!”

Perhaps because he was overly shocked by his own realization and was fairly close to the mouth of the volcano, he sent a wisp of his soul awareness down into it without much thought.

WHOOSH!

The complicated, exquisite fiery spell formations that had been carved on the crimson inside of the crater were suddenly activated.

A terrifying blazing aura that could burn anything and everything burst forth from within the spell formations.

RUMBLE!

That elder let out a pained cry before he was pushed thousands of meters away by some unknown great power.

He struggled to steady himself in midair, a strange shade of red appearing on his face, and tiny sparks flying from the corners of his eyes.

Astonished, Peng Yan exclaimed, “Li Yu!”

After quickly calming himself, he ordered the other elders to refrain from making more attempts.

Then, he turned to Huang Jinnan, Hou Chulan, and the other Divine Sons and Daughters, and said with a stern expression, “The volcano below us is a treasured cultivation location of our sect. Don’t attempt to probe into its wonders! Even you, Nie Tian. Don’t make any rash attempts. Just let the Flame Dragon Armor do what it has to do.”

WHOOSH!

Golden light burst forth from within Huang Jinnan’s body as he let out a muffled groan and stepped backwards.

“What did I tell you?!” Peng Yan thundered.

After holding himself steady, Huang Jinnan smiled bitterly and said, “Your warning came too late, Elder Peng. I sent a wisp of metal power into the crater as you spoke.”

“Alright, no more probing from now on!” After exclaiming these words, Peng Yan cast his eyes down in sorrow. “This place was where Pang Chicheng practiced cultivation. However, it belonged to another someone else before him.”

Nie Tian came to a sudden enlightenment. “Pang Bo!”

He had long since sensed anomalies from the aura emanated by the mysterious and complicated spell formations that had been carved on the inside of the crater.

It was true that only peak God domain experts who practiced flame power incantations could vest them with such strong flame aura.

However, he had met Shao Tianyang, the current sectmaster of the fire element sect, in the Shatter Battlefield. Thanks to the flame spark inside of him, he had been able to sense a surging flame aura inside of him, which was different from the flame aura he was sensing from the spell formations below.

Coupling that with what Peng Yan had just said, how could he not derive the truth?

“You’re right,” Peng Yan admitted. “This volcano belonged to our former sectmaster at first. Before he died, he demanded that it should be passed on to Pang Chicheng, his only child, as his private cultivation location. Of course Sectmaster Shao agreed to it. He rarely came here after that.

“This place is blessed with numerous wondrous fiery spell formations he created in his lifetime.

“Many of them carry the ultimate mysteries of flame power, which mark the peak of humanity’s understanding of flame power. Even Sectmaster Shao may not be able to solve all of them.”

As Shao Tianyang’s master, Pang Bo had been the most powerful human expert who practiced fire incantations during his time.

“So,” Peng Yan said with all seriousness, “don’t try to solve the mysteries down there anymore, at least not with your spiritual or soul power. I suppose it’ll be fine if you just observe from here.”

After he finished, Nie Tian let out a loud harrumph. “You must know what spatial fluctuations mean, right?”
