C1529 Reencountering the Xuanwu Turtle
"Swish!" With a sound, a golden beam of light flashed outside the Heavenly Refining Cauldron as Qin Yun appeared outside.
Although Qin Yun was nearly a thousand kilometers away from the Heaven Refining Cauldron, he was still able to sense the scorching heat.
"I wonder what the Heavenly Refining Cauldron will yield this time." Qin Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the cauldron-like immortal mountain in front of him.
With that, he headed straight for the Heaven Refining Cauldron.
Qin Yun had already visited the Heavenly Refining Cauldron once before. He did not need to go through the Heavenly Refining Cauldron's trial to be able to enter the Heavenly Refining Cauldron directly.
Above the sea of fire within the Heavenly Refining Cauldron, countless cultivators had set up barriers here and were cultivating cross-legged. They used the Heavenly Refining Cauldron's Heavenly Refining Fire to temper their own souls, allowing the Cultivation to reach a stronger realm.
However, Qin Yun's goal for coming here was clear. He had come to find the Venerable Lord of Samsara. Following his memories, he headed straight for the center of the Heavenly Refining Cauldron.
Just as Qin Yun approached the center of the Heaven Refining Cauldron, bubbles began to bubble in the magma. At the same time the bubbles were forming, flames that were a hundred meters in length shot out from the bubbles, forming a gigantic pillar of fire. At the same time, a powerful aura emanated from the pillar of fire.
Clearly, the strength of this aura had already reached the realm of a Sovereign. Qin Yun was no stranger to this aura. It belonged to the Cauldron Overlord Beast of the Heavenly Cauldron, the Celestial Turtle.
"Didn't it always fall asleep? Why did it take the initiative to come out? Could it be that I alarmed it? " Qin Yun frowned as he wondered in his heart.
Just as he was wondering, a mottled 'huge rock' slowly appeared from within the magma, and scorching magma flowed down through the cracks of the 'huge rock'. That huge rock was the Sky Profound Turtle's armor, which was also known as the place that even the Heavenly Cloud Divine Emperor was unable to break open.
Soon after, the Celestial Refining Turtle's massive head and four sturdy limbs emerged from the lava.
"Roar!" The Mysterious Turtle let out a low roar that shook the heavens. The lava around it also surged out into the surroundings.
"Greetings, Senior Xuanwu." Qin Yun said to the Celestial Turtle.
"That's right. It's only been a few hundred years since we last met, but not only did the Cultivation increase dramatically, the soul Cultivation actually became so strong, and even obtained the inheritance of the power of Absolute Beginning." The Celestial Refining Turtle looked at Qin Yun with a look of approval.
The Heavenly Refining Turtle had guarded the Heaven Refining Cauldron for millions of years. A mere few hundred years of time was nothing more than a short nap to it. Moreover, it was the divine beast guarding the Heaven Refining Cauldron; its soul had already been refined for millions of years.
Although Venerable Lord Samsara was said to be the number one soul Cultivation cultivator in the Three Realms, the Celestial Turtle was in no way inferior to it. It was naturally able to tell the change that had occurred to Qin Yun with a single glance.
"It's just a lucky chance." Qin Yun said humbly.
After the Black Tortoise heard his words, its eyes revealed a trace of a smile. It continued, "Opportunity is also a part of one's strength. To have such an opportunity means that you still have the ability. However, you still have another opportunity."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yun looked at the Celestial Turtle with a puzzled expression.
"Come to me." After the Celestial Refining Turtle finished speaking, it opened its mouth.
Although Qin Yun did not know what it was up to, he had no ill intentions. With a flash, he entered its mouth.
Then, the Celestial Refining Turtle closed its mouth and slowly dived into the scorching lava, disappearing in an instant …
The Mysterious Sky Tortoise had just dived into the rock when the Venerable Samsara Stage expert arrived at the spot where it disappeared.
"Hmm? Didn't that old turtle just come out? The reincarnation cycle elder looked around and muttered to himself …
"..."
Qin Yun did not know what the Celestial Refining Turtle was up to as he sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. The Celestial Refining Turtle was about a thousand meters in size and its mouth was extremely wide. Even if a few dozen cultivators came in at the same time, they would not feel crowded.
However, as time passed, he felt that his surroundings were getting hotter and hotter. This kind of heat was not only roasting his body, but also his soul.
"We should be traveling through the lava from the Heavenly Refining Furnace by now. I just don't know where it will take us." Qin Yun muttered to himself.
If Apocalypse Volcano was the hottest place in the boundless universe, then the Heavenly Refining Cauldron was the hottest place in the Heaven Realm. Although the temperature of the magma inside the Apocalypse Volcano was extremely hot, there were still quite a few cultivators who could rely on the powerful Cultivation to search for treasures or cultivate.
This was because the magma here was the source of the Heaven Refining Furnace's fire and also the most dangerous place within the cauldron. Other than the Heaven Refining Black Turtle, no one else dared to enter this place, including the Venerable Lord of Samsara who had cultivated here for a million years. The reason the Heaven Refining Black Turtle had swallowed Qin Yun was to protect him from harm.
The kind of heat that was roasting the soul only lasted for a short period of time before slowly fading, replacing it was an incomparable coolness.
Just as Qin Yun felt the temperature had dropped, the Celestial Refining Turtle opened its mouth as a muffled voice sounded beside his ear. "Come out."
Qin Yun nodded and immediately appeared in its mouth. It had arrived at a nameless land.
The temperature here was the complete opposite of the Heavenly Refining Cauldron. The temperature was extremely low, not one bit inferior to the Arctic Icecap. Although there was no wind, there was a bone-biting chill.
"Swish!" With a sound, a dazzling golden light flashed in Qin Yun's hand. He wanted to illuminate his surroundings, but he realized that other than the light from the beam in his hand, it was still dark.
In this pitch-black space, there was an inexplicable sense of mystery.
"Senior, where is this place?" Qin Yun surveyed the darkness around him.
"Rumble …" The ground beneath Qin Yun's feet began to constantly tremble as a dazzling light flashed behind him.
Qin Yun hurriedly turned around and saw an extremely large stone door slowly opening. The height of the stone door was nearly a thousand meters. It could be said to be an indomitable existence. On the other side of the stone door, there was a bright world.
"Go." The Celestial Refining Turtle said to Qin Yun before immediately sinking its massive body.
When the Celestial Refining Turtle disappeared, Qin Yun realized that he was standing beside a cold pond. The Celestial Refining Turtle had sent him here from that pond. However, he did not know why the pool was connected to the lava sea within the Heavenly Refining Cauldron …
