Without waiting for Ye Mo to ask Cha Qi Fu continued to explain, “The entrance to the Devil’s Domain is the furthest away from here, I heard that even with an extremely high quality flying true weapon, it would take half a year to reach it. And generally speaking, no cultivator who goes to the entrance of the Devil’s Domain has ever heard of being able to return, it’s like the River of the Underworld, there is no return. The sand is green in colour and even the sky is green in colour. Even a cultivator who is a Transformed True can’t enter the Green Sand Pit.”
When Ye Mo heard this, he was also secretly shocked that this Green Sand Pit was so terrifying that even a Transformation True cultivator could not enter it, so it was evident that the temperature had reached an extremely high level.
Cha Qifu continued, “The sand and rocks around the Green Sand Pit have all been baked into rocks, and they are extremely strong rocks, I heard that the rocks can then be used as magic treasures, and their hardness is no less than that of true weapons.” …
Ye Mo asked in doubt, “That green sand pit is so hot, what exactly is causing it?”
Cha Qifu shook his head and said, “I’m not sure about that either, I heard people say that the number one foreign fire in the cultivation world, Qing Ru Xiaotian, is in the Green Sand Pit, but no one can go in there, so no one can be sure if the flames in there are Qing Ru Xiaotian. I don’t think so. I heard that when Qing Ru Xiaotian appeared, an interface was green-silver, so how could it appear in a sand pit a few hundred miles in circumference? What’s more, even if it was Green Ru Xiaotian, it wouldn’t have such a terrifying temperature when it dared to appear.”
Ye Mo, however, did not say anything, he did not think so, Qing Ru Xiaotian appeared when the whole world was green sè after all was a legend, he did not think that a flame that had not yet become great would cause the whole world to be green sè, this was a bit too outrageous. On the contrary, the phenomenon of the green sand pit was very much like the green as dawn sky. It was just that no one else could get in here. It was hard for him to get in even if he wanted to. Even if it was difficult. Ye Mo still planned to wait until this sealing thing was finished and go take a look.
Qing Ru Xiaotian was the number one ranked strange fire among the cultivation world, and also ranked third among the heavenly fires in the entire heaven and earth.
The reason why it is ranked third is not because Qing Ru Xiaotian is inferior to the first and second ranked fires, but because there is simply no first ranked fire among the Heavenly Flames. From the second to the tenth Heavenly Flame, no matter which Heavenly Flame it is, as long as one devours the ‘Starry Sky Inferno Marrow’ one can immediately advance to the number one ranked Heavenly Flame. The names of such celestial flames were named according to the user himself.
Of course, many of the names have already been named, for example, after the third ranked Heavenly Flame, Qing Ru Xiaotian, devours the ‘Starry Sky Inferno Marrow’, cultivators would normally call it the Starry Sky Green Flame.
If the two top ten ranked Heavenly Flames both devoured ‘Starry Sky Inferno Marrow’, then when these two flames met, they would devour each other. The flame that wins continues to be the number one flame in the heavens and earth.
‘Starry Sky Inferno Marrow’ was yet more rare than the Heavenly Flame, usually this kind of ‘Starry Sky Inferno Marrow’ would appear in spatial cracks, or inside the void space, and ordinary cultivators would not even see it, let alone get it.
Ye Mo saw that Xie Zheng Shi’s face was a bit unnatural when he heard Cha Qi Fu say ‘green sand pit’, although Ye Mo wanted to ask Xie Zheng Shi, but thought of this guy’s killing intent towards himself before. He immediately lost interest.
“What about the sand dou whirlpool?” Ye Mo didn’t let Cha Qifu continue to talk about the Green Sand Pit. The place they were going to now was the Sand Dou Maelstrom.
Cha Qifu nodded and said, “The Sand Dou Maelstrom is much better than the Green Sand Pit, and the area there is much smaller. It is only a few miles in circumference, but this circumference is a sandstone whirlpool all year round. This sand and stone vortex formed a large vortex bucket shape, and no cultivator could get close to it; once they got close, they would be swept away by this vortex bucket and there would be no more physiology.”
Ye Mo frowned, if the second seal flag was really in the middle of this sand and stone whirlpool that was like a bucket, then it was really a bit troublesome.
Just knowing that there was no way out, Ye Mo could only go and take a look. The cultivator’s inability to ascend did not only concern the Western Jackpot Continent, but equally concerned himself.
……
The few people flew not slow but not fast either, after all, Ye Mo was not very sure of the exact location of the second seal flag, so he could only look at it as he went.
Five days later, Ye Mo saw the sand dou whirlpool. Although he wished that the seal flag was not in such a place, Ye Mo finally came to the conclusion that the second seal flag was inside the sand dou whirlpool.
Although Ye Mo and the others were still thousands of metres away from the sand dou whirlpool, the huge sand and stone whirlpool could already be seen clearly, with large swathes of yellow sand sweeping up and forming a huge inverted bucket. The inverted bucket of flying yellow sand looked extremely spectacular, but Ye Mo knew that the sand bucket whirlpool was not only spectacular, but also something that would kill him, and he would be swept in if he was slightly careless.
The whining sound from the bucket was deafening even if they were thousands of metres apart. That was all, Ye Mo even felt a powerful suction curl around him, as if if if he relaxed his mind a little, that powerful suction would bring him into the sand dou whirlpool.
“Brother Ye, what if that Seal Flag Demon Beast is really in this Sand Dou Maelstrom? There’s no way for us to get close at all, huh?” Cha Qifu said with some concern as he looked at the terrifying rotating yellow sand, and the immense inverted bucket.
Ye Mo, however, looked at Xie Zheng Shi, “City Master Xie, what do you think should happen?”
Xie Zheng Shi looked at the terrifying sand dou whirlpool in front of him and also frowned, “I don’t have a good solution either, but it’s not like there’s no way at all for a few of us to get close to this sand dou whirlpool, that is to set up a counter-rotation formation. That is to set up a counter-rotation formation to reduce the speed of rotation of this spinning bucket, and then we can get closer. But this is only getting close, trying to get in to find the seal flag is obviously not very realistic, and this counter-rotation formation, given my level in the Western Jackpot Continent, would still require someone to set it up.”
Cha Qifu asked suspiciously, “Lord Xie, aren’t you and Brother Ye both formation masters? Why do you need to find someone else? Is it because you don’t have a spirit source? If there is no spirit source, I have an extremely large amount of top-grade spirit stones and some of the very best spirit stones.”
However, Master Xie shook his head and said, “Brother Cha, it is not a matter of spirit sources. Besides, the spirit source needed for this counter-rotation formation is not enough with top-grade spirit stones, and although top-grade spirit stones are possible, I guess you don’t have that much either. The reason why this formation is difficult to set up is because there is no rank nine formation master, this formation is a rank nine peak formation, although I have a very high quality spirit vein that I can use as a spirit source, there is no way to set up a rank nine peak formation.”
“What? It requires a rank nine formation?” Cha Qifu sucked in a breath of cold air, there was only one Grade 9 formation master even in the Western Jackpot Continent, and that person was the old mountain master of the Snow Forest Cold Pond, and she had been in seclusion for a hundred years. If you want to ask her to come out and set up a level 9 formation, it is no less difficult than entering the Sand Dou Whirlpool directly.
However, Ye Mo said with a faint smile, “I also agree with City Master Xie, it would be best if City Master Xie had a spiritual source. I will just set up this counter-spin formation, after the counter-spin formation is successfully set up and I enter the formation, it will be fine for City Master Xie to help me guard the formation.”
After Ye Mo finished his words, Master Xie Zheng and Cha Qifu froze for half a day before asking in unison in a startled voice, “You are a rank nine formation zong master?”
Although they knew that Ye Mo was a Formation Grandmaster, they definitely did not expect Ye Mo to be a Level 9 Formation Grandmaster. Now that Ye Mo said that he could set up a top level nine counter-rotation formation, the two of them woke up with a start.
Ye Mo nodded his head and said, “That’s right, I’m a rank nine formation zong master.”
Master Xie Zheng sucked in a breath of cold air, and only after a long time did he come back to his senses and bowed to Ye Mo, “I thought that Brother Ye was at most a Grade 8 Formation Master like me, just a researcher in sealing, but I never thought that Brother Ye was a Grade 9 Formation Master. If I have offended you before, please don’t take it personally, Brother Ye, I am willing to make amends.”
As the city lord of West Cultivation City, it was rare that Xie Zhengshi, who was at the peak of Transformation Truth, could say these words to Ye Mo, which showed how much of a place Ascension held in his heart.
While Cha Qifu did not understand why Xie Zhengshi said something about making amends, Ye Mo understood that Xie Zhengshi was saying that he should not have started to sneak up on him before.
However, Ye Mo waved his hand and said, “The matter of ascension is a big deal, and it is just as important to me. It’s just that I don’t have enough materials, I don’t know if City Master Xie has many materials, I need to refine the formation flag.”
Although Ye Mo did not have many materials now, he had more than enough to refine formation flags, now that he could raid the materials in Xie Zheng Shi’s hands, it would be strange for him not to.
After listening to Ye Mo’s words, Xie Zheng Shi did not stint in the slightest, and with a wave of his hand a large pile of materials appeared in front of Ye Mo, almost all of them were some grade seven or above refining materials. It would be more than enough to use these materials to refine a level 9 counter-rotation formation flag.
Cha Qifu was even more reluctant to show his weakness, and similarly waved out a large pile of materials.
While Ye Mo secretly sighed at the wealth of the cultivators in the Western Continent, he did not refuse any of them, and all these materials were put into his ring. Immediately afterwards, he set up a forbidden system a little farther away and went in to start refining the formation flags.
Two days later, Ye Mo walked out of the forbidden system, only to find that Xie Zheng Shi and Cha Qi Fu were still waiting for him.
Ye Mo took out a portion of the formation flags and handed it to Xie Zheng Shi and said, “I’m going to set up the counter-rotation formation now, your spirit veins will be sacrificed first. After I finish setting up the counter-rotation formation, I will go straight into the Sand Dou Maelstrom, then you help me control the formation while I go and crack the seal flag.”
Although he knew full well that there were immortal crystals inside the seal flag, Xie Zheng Shi now understood that whether it was his understanding of the seal or the level of the formation, he and Ye Mo were too far apart, and there was no way for him to get involved in this kind of thing, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Master Xie Zheng waved out a huge spirit vein with his hand, and this spirit vein was somewhat coveted even by Ye Mo when he saw it. It was a perfect top quality spirit vein, and it was unknown where Xie Zhengshi had gotten it from. As soon as the spirit vein fell down, the surrounding spirit energy immediately filled up.
