Chapter 166 Tempest, Part Two

Currently, the outside world was very dangerous for Ye Fan. If he were to be found, he would definitely die. The appearance of the Ji Family was most likely not due to him, in his opinion. After all, it had been over half a year. As long as he avoided them, it should be fine.

Ye Fan directly arrived within the depths of the seventh level of the Flame Region. He only stopped once he was on the verge of the eighth level. Seven-colored mist lingered in front of him, appearing both auspicious and peaceful.

The eighth level’s flames were almost within reach, and their terrifying heat washed over him like a flood. It felt the eighth layer was a stove attempting to refine all of heaven and earth.

Ye Fan sucked in a cold gasp. The seven-colored mist was only two more colors than the five-colored mist of the seventh level, but the temperature was separated by such a huge amount. It really did not seem to follow common sense.

The five-colored mist already caused him to feel bursts of burning sensations. The seven-colored mist was even more frightening. Even while holding the Bodhi seed, he was unable to enter as he pleased.

Most powerful figures refine Vessels within the sixth or seventh levels. If that old bastard enters the seventh level, I’ll have to risk it and enter the eighth level. Hopefully he stops at the Purple Qi from the East region.

Ye Fan really did not wish to enter the eighth level. He didn’t have the slightest confidence. If he were to accidentally be touched by one of those flames, his body and spirit would both be burned to nothing.

Caw, caw…

Just at this moment, Ye Fan felt incomparable shock. He heard bird cries coming from the eighth level!

The seventh level was already capable of burning divine energy and killing powerful cultivators. So the eighth level was already unimaginable. But there were actually bird cries coming from it?

Ye Fan detoured around the eighth level. He tried to peer inside. The strands of seven-colored mist seemed like endless tiny rainbows that shot inside. Huge stones continued inside, each in strange shapes, the stone forest continuing.

Caw…

Ye Fan once more heard the bird cry. This time it was extremely clear.

At this time, he saw a boulder several meters tall that was practically a small mountain. The ominous sound was coming from there.

There was a stone cave on the bottom of it. Ye Fan found several black shiny feathers.

“This…” He really was shocked now. There was a black crow living within the eighth level!

How was this even possible? Powerful cultivators could only stop at the seventh level after all. How did a crow end up within the eighth level?

It definitely could not be provoked!

Ye Fan quietly stepped back and hid himself within the stone forest. With the crow in front him and the Ji Family’s powerful person behind him, he ended up stuck in the middle.

Luckily the five-colored mist had a devilish nature that could swallow anything. Even powerful figures wouldn’t dare randomly use their divine sense here. Ye Fan hid within the stone forest and quietly cultivated. He didn’t dare use the flame to refine his cauldron, in case it alerted the Ji Family’s people.

For the first few days everything was very calm. But on the eighth day, a loud metallic ringing resounded through the world.

Now Ye Fan was calm. The Ji Family’s powerful figure had only come here to refine something. It didn’t have anything to do with him. He was somewhat curious about what kind of item they were refining to make such a huge disturbance.

The purple Qi within the sixth level surged. Scarlet lights soared, lighting up the sky.

“What is that old bastard refining?” Ye Fan was very startled and stealthily moved closer. But he still stayed within the seventh level as he looked outside.

Due to the great distance between them, he could only vaguely see a huge copper furnace there.

“It really is a copper furnace!”

Ye Fan changed position and clearly saw a three meter-tall copper furnace that was enveloped by the purple flames. Rumbling sounds came from it as scarlet light shot out from it.

A grey-clothed old man was sitting beside it. He held a green jade fan that he repeatedly fanned. The purple flames all collected there and rushed towards the copper furnace.

“This old man doesn’t dare refine this item within his body. Instead he uses a true treasure stove to forge it…”

The huge furnace emitted a red light that was becoming increasingly bright. It gradually took the shape of a divine ship as red as blood, as if forged from blood jade.

“It really is a good treasure. It’s almost taken shape and has already charged into the sky. This old man really isn’t ordinary.”

Ye Fan knew that if this divine ship were to be refined properly and had the Ji Family’s profound Dao Glyphs carved into it, it would definitely be extraordinary. After all, it was refined by such a powerful figure.

The rumbling from the copper stove became increasingly loud. It echoed through the land for several kilometers.

“In comparison to the divine ship, this copper stove is an even more precious treasure.” Ye Fan didn’t dare spend too much time looking. He retreated in order to avoid being noticed.

After entering deep within the seventh level, Ye Fan once more heard the crow crying. It seemed hidden and lacking. It was very irritable and incessant.

Caw, caw…

“Just what is it?” Ye Fan walked a couple steps towards it and looked from the distance. Fire spurted out of there. The seven-colored mist curled around them, making that place even hotter.

At the opening of the cave, he saw that the shining black feathers had increased a bit. There were also a few more ashes. “Is it a spirit born from the flame? Or is it a real crow?”

“Damnit!”

A curse suddenly rang out from within that cave. It was an wxtremely furious voice. Ye Fan couldn’t even believe his ears.

Within the blazing cave flew out a shattered piece of metal. It was as white as snow.

Ye Fan was stupefied. This was definitely a divine iron from legends. It was definitely a rare material, a peak quality material for refining Vessels. It was said that even the Flickering Light Sacred Master’s personal weapons had this kind of divine iron in them. Thus, its value was very clear.

Obviously there was someone refining something inside and had turned this divine iron into rubbish, throwing it out the cave.

“Crow spirit!” This was definitely a peak old demonic devil.

Acting decisively, Ye Fan quickly retreated far away.
