Chapter 500 - Underground Palace
High up in the sky, the two giant white tigers were still facing each other. But at this time, Tang Huan had already bid farewell to him, and left the White Tiger Mountain with Feng Ming.
This "Forgotten City" was extremely vast. Under the condition that the other three "Four Symbols Spirit Pages" did not reveal any clues, finding them was indeed no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, Tang Huan felt that he had to start from the body of the "Xuan Ming Ghost King" in the end.
That "Xuan Ming Ghost King" was the embodiment of this "Forgotten City" 's resentment, and it had existed for countless years. She should be more clear than anyone else about the things within the city.
Of course, if the other three "Four Symbols Spirit Pages" had disappeared into thin air during the great battle back in the ancient times, or were brought out of the "Forgotten City" like the "White Tiger Spirit Page", even if Tang Huan managed to capture the "Xuan Ming Ghost King", he would still not be able to do anything.
If that happened, Yu Feiyan and the others would only be able to stay in the White Tiger Mountain for three whole years.
"Whoosh!" "Whiz!"
On the dilapidated street, two rays of light were flying at high speed.
Tang Huan did not immediately look for the "Xuan Ming Ghost King", but planned to get the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" first.
The "Xuan Ming Ghost King" had a unique body, and the difficulty of capturing her was far greater than killing her. But if he could fuse with the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire", Tang Huan would have three types of Spiritual Fire, which would greatly increase his strength and increase his chances of catching the "Xuan Ming Ghost King".
As for the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire", whether it was the map that Xing Meng provided or his own senses, they all pointed to the eastern side of the "Forgotten City".
After a long while, Tang Huan and Feng Ming stopped in front of a half collapsed hall.
There was a huge boulder erected in front of the hall, and on it, faint traces of pen strokes could be seen. However, it was already impossible to read what was written, but on Xing Meng's map, it was labeled "Profound Nether Hall".
Although this "Dark Nether Hall" was located in the eastern part of the "Forgotten City," it wasn't located in the east, but in the northeast.
"Right here?" Feng Ming looked around suspiciously.
"We'll know when we get in."
Tang Huan's footsteps slightly moved, and his body moved like flowing light, as he entered the dilapidated palace. Amidst the rubble that littered the ground, a large hole could be clearly seen. Its diameter was about twenty to thirty meters, dark and unfathomable. Standing at the edge of the hole, one could immediately feel an incomparably cold aura.
Xing Meng's map reached the end of this "Profound Nether Palace."
According to Tang Huan's senses, the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" should be in this region as well. However, Tang Huan was unable to determine its specific location in a short period of time. Just like back in the Holy Spirit Continent, Tang Huan knew that the "Bodhisattva Fire" was within the boundaries of the flying cloud city, but only until he reached the "Temple of Life" was Tang Huan 100% sure that the "Spiritual Fire" was within the temple.
However, what Tang Huan could be certain of was that the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" was definitely within the cave, but there was a very high possibility that there was an extremely vast space within the inside the cave. If not, once Tang Huan arrived, he should be able to confirm its location.
"Let's go!"
A pair of wings formed on Tang Huan's back, and with a light pat, he fell into the pitch-black cave.
It was so dazzling that it exploded out, and a ball of blazing flames even emerged from the tip of the spear. Not only did it illuminate the surrounding dozens of meters, it even dispersed the cold and gloomy atmosphere around it.
Tang Huan and Feng Ming continued to float down, and the deeper they went, the bigger the cave became.
The cave entrance at the top was less than twenty or thirty meters deep, but by the time the two had reached a hundred meters, the diameter of the cave had already reached several hundred meters. It was extremely wide.
After another hundred metres, Tang Huan and Feng Ming finally reached the ground. Following which, a dark and wide space appeared before their eyes.
This area was at least several hundred meters in radius, and was round like a hemisphere. Of course, it was naturally formed, but the surrounding stone walls were inlaid with precious gems.
"It's actually an underground maze?"
Feng Ming quickly looked around, her beautiful eyes revealing a look of surprise.
There were dozens of entrances around this space. The entrances were of different sizes, ranging from ten meters tall to a dozen meters tall to several meters short, and their shapes were also irregular. Obviously, like this space, they were all naturally formed, but the walls were also inlaid with glittering white gems.
"Maze …" Tang Huan frowned slightly. No wonder he could not figure out the specific location of the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" from above.
"Let's find a hole and check it out first."
After pondering for a moment, Tang Huan withdrew his wings and shot forward like lightning. In the time it took to take a few breaths, he had already traversed hundreds of meters of space and entered a tunnel that was nearly ten meters tall.
The walls of the passageway were uneven. Other than the gems embedded in the walls, everything else was kept in its most initial state. The passageway curved forward for a few dozen meters, then split into two and continued to meandering forward.
He randomly chose a tunnel to the left. After walking forward for less than a hundred meters, there were three tunnels.
"It really is an underground maze."
Tang Huan decisively stopped at the fork in the passage and frowned, deep in thought.
In this place, it was already difficult to determine one's position by just relying on the connection between "Flame Heart" and "Xuan Ming Initial Fire". One had to think of another way.
In the next moment, Tang Huan had already activated both "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and "Five Colors Spiritual Pills to their limits."
Immediately after, Tang Huan hung the spear on his back, and a ball of red flame emerged from his right palm, spreading out a terrifying heat. On Tang Huan's left palm, a ball of green flame also rose, releasing an extremely tyrannical life force in all directions.
Under Tang Huan's use of all his strength, the red and green flames in his palms became more and more violent, the heat of the battle and the undulations of his vitality were increasing exponentially.
Before long, under Tang Huan's control, the firepower of the two Spiritual Fire s were fully unleashed, boiling over with heat and surging with vitality.
Tang Huan's current method was very simple. He had to use both the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" and "Bodhisattva Fire" to the maximum extent to lure the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" with the aura of these two types of Spiritual Fire.
The five elements are related to each other, and the five Spiritual Fire s are also of the five elements.
Once the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire" became aware of the existence of the "Nirvana Sacred Fire" and "Bodhisattva Fire," it would be impossible for it to be indifferent. As long as there was even the slightest movement from the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire", Tang Huan could follow any trace of movement and trace their movements in the maze, and chase after him.
