Three days later, two figures stand outside a valley .
This place is rarely visited .
Not in the valley yet, Gu Hao already feels a gust of hot wind come his way . Sweat breaks out from his forehead . Before it trickles down, it's already dried up by this horrifying heat .
With the body and power of a top-level practitioner, he starts to feel uncomfortable in the face of such heat .
Gu Hao exclaims to himself secretly that now he only feels a little ill, if it was his old self, he couldn’t have stayed consciousness for a second here .
Thinking of that, he looks with envy at Ah Zhao who's standing ahead of him .
That Senior Zhao still wraps herself up in a cloak in such an environment earns her his respect .
He wonders when he will become as powerful as she is .
When he indulges in flights of fancy, Senior Zhao’s husky voice rises up beside him: “Let's go . ”
She heads directly towards the valley .
Gu Hao gets rid of his unconstrained thoughts and follows her .
With each step closer to the valley, the burning temperature rises another few degrees .
By the time they enter the valley, all of his uncovered skin is burned to the color of deep red .
“Can you still stand it?” Ah Zhao asks .
Gu Hao nods: “Though I feel ill, my spirit power seems to become more active . ”
She nods with satisfaction: “Now that you have the bloodline of ancient phoenix, you should be able to stand it since phoenix controls fire . ”
This place is called Burning Valley which is named after a pool in it that has been burning for hundreds of thousands of years .
This melting temperature comes right from that burning pool .
Numerous forces have been here investigating whether there was any treasure in the pool or this valley but returned without finding anything of value .
Over time, it becomes a wasteland of no interest to anyone .
However, Ah Zhao knows that there is indeed a rare opportunity in this valley .
Of course, she didn't know that because of an exceptional insight but got this tip from the plot .
The two of them stop somewhere .
Resisting the ill feelings he has, Gu Hao looks ahead of him .
Right in the front is a burning pool that stretches as far as the eye can see . The whole “pool” is bright red with gold fire dancing over its surface . With a step closer, there is even a smell of the tip of his hair getting scorched .
Looking at the burning pool in front of her, Ah Zhao puts the ill feelings she has aside . Since this body of hers practices kung fu of the nature of ice and snow, it hates a place like this the most .
Sure enough, the illness is nothing compared to how horrifying this pool looks .
Thinking of that, she takes out a sword from her storage ring . It is a beautiful sword . More importantly, it is of high level .
Gu Hao doesn’t know why she takes out a weapon and the next moment, he sees her throw it directly into the pool .
Gu Hao: “ . . . ”
What a waste! He thinks .
The sword seems expensive!
Then he sees that when the sword touches the pool, it is swallowed by the flames and disappears from sight in no time .
Gu Hao: “ . . . ” That scene makes him a little uneasy .
Ah Zhao feels the same .
Thinking of that sword which disappears completely, she says to the system: “Are you sure that the male lead will return alive after he goes into the pool?”
He can’t be stronger than that sword, can he?
