Chapter 70

PS: Leaders, please give me your recommendations, to make the recommendation ratio look better. Also, I recommend my friend Xiangsi Xi Hongdou's new work "The Hero's Creed," which is a very interesting and well-written book.

However, after happiness, it's time to start considering reality.

It's not an easy task to collect these nine hundred and more Blood Black Gold, as they are scattered on the cave walls, which are high and steep, with no place to hold on, and below is the terrifying lava, where a fall means certain death.

Moreover, it would take several days and nights to collect these nine hundred and more Blood Black Gold. By then, Ningning might have already lost patience and entered the mine to find Yang Dingtian, which would fall into Zhao Wuji's hands.

Yang Dingtian immediately calmed down.

At this moment, the nearest Blood Black Gold was only two feet away, and Yang Dingtian couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

"Be careful, don't move, don't touch it," Dongfang Niemie suddenly shouted.

Yang Dingtian immediately stopped his action.

Dongfang Niemie said, "Look below, in the lava."

Yang Dingtian immediately looked down and saw a pair of eyes floating in the scorching lava, faintly looking at Yang Dingtian.

A monstrously huge beast was swimming in the lava. It was impossible to see how big it was, but its terrifying head was as large as a table, giving an idea of how big its body must be.

"Don't touch these Blood Black Gold. This is its territory. It considers the Blood Black Gold as its property. If you touch it, it will kill you immediately," Dongfang Niemie said.

"Master, what kind of beast is this?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"An Abyssal Lord," Dongfang Niemie said. "I should have thought of it. Nine hundred and ninety-nine Blood Black Gold are treasures of the world. How could there not be a powerful beast guarding them?"

"Is it very strong?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Extremely strong," Dongfang Niemie said.

Yang Dingtian looked at the Blood Black Gold with reluctance and then at the Abyssal Lord in the lava.

"Child, what is yours will always be yours, it's just a matter of time," Dongfang Niemie said. "Even if you collect all 999 Blood Black Gold now, it would be useless because you don't have the Celestial Fire to forge them. These Blood Black Gold would not only be useless but could also bring you deadly trouble. They are true treasures of the world, and anyone who knows about them would be tempted by greed."

"Master, when can I have the Celestial Fire?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"At least wait until you become a Wu Xuan-level expert. Then you can go and find a Celestial Fire, refine it into your Heart Fire, and once you have the Heart Fire, your Xuan Qi will have a qualitative leap," Dongfang Niemie said. "Every expert must refine Heart Fire, not only for forging weapons and refining medicines, but more importantly, all Xuan Techniques must be activated by Heart Fire, and even each bone washing and meridian cleansing must use Heart Fire."

"Is Heart Fire that important?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Of course, Heart Fire is as important as martial techniques. Without Heart Fire, there are no Xuan Techniques. For a martial artist, having or not having Heart Fire is the mark of strength or weakness," Dongfang Niemie said. "A martial artist has two periods of the fastest advancement. The first is when they first practice a secret manual, which can instantly increase their level by two or three. The second is when they refine Heart Fire. Once Heart Fire is refined, the Xuan Qi level will also have a significant breakthrough and improvement."

"Even for the sake of these ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold, I must cultivate to become a Wu Xuan-level expert as quickly as possible," Yang Dingtian said.

"Master believes you can do it," Dongfang Niemie said. "And for others, just a good Celestial Fire is enough. But for you, you must find a Celestial Fire, because to completely melt the ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold, you must use a Celestial Fire."

"So, without a Celestial Fire, even if you have the ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold, you cannot forge it into a supreme soul sword," Dongfang Niemie said. "Therefore, leaving these Blood Black Gold here is the most beneficial choice for you."

"Will these Blood Black Gold be eaten by the Abyssal Lord?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"No, the Abyssal Lord is not a gold-eating beast. It survives by absorbing the energy of the lava," Dongfang Niemie said. "Still, what is yours will always be yours. Before you refine the Celestial Fire, store these Blood Black Gold here."

"Then, at what level can I come back to kill the Abyssal Lord and collect these Blood Black Gold?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Within two years, if you break through to the Ninth Rank Wu Xuan-level expert and have a Celestial Fire, Master will have a way to help you kill the Abyssal Lord," Dongfang Niemie said. "The key is to have a Celestial Fire. Otherwise, even a Grandmaster-level expert might not be able to kill the Abyssal Lord, as this beast is the dominant force within a thousand miles."

"I understand, Master," Yang Dingtian said resolutely, turning around. "And the most important thing for me now is the Five Elements Yin-Yang Array in four days. Missing the Yin-Yang Day that occurs once every three hundred years means no hope for my Xuan Qi to advance. Even if I get the 999 Blood Black Gold, it would be meaningless. So, what I need most now are the remaining three elemental beast cores."

"That's right," Dongfang Niemie said. "I am very pleased with your clear-headedness."

Yang Dingtian immediately decided to leave. He would return when he became a Wu Xuan-level expert and had a Celestial Fire to harvest his Blood Black Gold.

The most important thing now is to hunt for the Metal, Ice, and Electric elemental beast cores.

All the Ice elemental beast cores here were destroyed by Zhao Wuji, even the bodies of the two cold snakes. However, one cold snake escaped during Yang Dingtian's slaughter and fled to the depths of the unfrozen water pool. As long as he found it and obtained its beast core, Yang Dingtian's task for today would be completed. After all, there are many gold-eating beasts on this continent, such as in the Red Wilderness, though it is somewhat dangerous. The key is the Ice elemental beast core.

Whether it's hunting the remaining Ice elemental beast core, leaving this place, or avoiding Ningning falling into danger, there is one person who cannot be avoided: the perverted and bloodthirsty Zhao Wuji. He is guarding the unfrozen water pool, and Yang Dingtian cannot avoid him.

A Wu Zun-level expert, he and Ningning together cannot even match one of his fingers.

This twisted and perverted Zhao Wuji took away all of Yang Dingtian's things, destroyed the beast cores he obtained at the risk of his life, and wanted to torture and kill him. Moreover, he knows about the Blood Black Gold here.

999 ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold represents the future supreme treasure sword of Yang Dingtian, the greatest guarantee for him to cultivate a powerful sword soul, and the greatest guarantee for him to defeat Dongfang Bingling in five years. This secret must not be known by a second person.

Therefore, Zhao Wuji must die, no matter what. If he doesn't die, Yang Dingtian and Ningning will die, and die very tragically.

"Master, I want to kill Zhao Wuji, but it will be very risky," Yang Dingtian said.

Dongfang Niemie slowly said, "Do it! Today, either he dies or you perish!"

Yang Dingtian clenched his fist tightly, carrying forty-nine Blood Black Gold, and left the crystal mine, running several kilometers to the other side of the ice-covered unfrozen water pool.

He hid the bag of Blood Black Gold, took out three Blood Black Gold, and jumped into the unfrozen water pool, diving down continuously.

This time, he dived faster because he had three ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold, weighing over fifty pounds. Moreover, it wasn't as cold as before because the Blood Black Gold continuously released strong heat.

Diving 80 meters.

Diving 90 meters.

98 meters...

Yang Dingtian was still frozen all over, but at least he still had his consciousness, unlike the last time when even his soul seemed to be frozen.

Just before he lost consciousness, he made a final dash forward, passing the midpoint of 100 meters.

Suddenly, Yang Dingtian flipped in the water, entering another gravitational field, and began to rise. However, with the three Blood Black Gold, the rise was slower, and he had to struggle to swim upward. But the water temperature was getting warmer, so he wouldn't freeze to death.

"Splosh..." Yang Dingtian burst out of the water.

Then, his entire body was uncontrollably sucked by an incredibly powerful force.

On the shore, Zhao Wuji tightly grabbed Yang Dingtian's neck, looking at him in disbelief. "You didn't die? You actually didn't die? How could you not die?"

Yang Dingtian said, "Senior, I didn't die. There really is Blood Black Gold below. I found the entrance. Just dive 100 meters, and you'll find the entrance to the Blood Black Gold vein."

Zhao Wuji's hand tightened, and Yang Dingtian's neck was in excruciating pain, almost being crushed.

"Is there really Blood Black Gold?" Zhao Wuji trembled. "If you dare to lie to me, do you know how terrible your fate will be?"

"Senior, let me go, I'll show you," Yang Dingtian said.

Zhao Wuji immediately threw Yang Dingtian to the ground.

Yang Dingtian took out a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold from his chest and handed it to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji was stunned, his face completely shocked, looking at the Blood Black Gold in disbelief.

"Ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold? Ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold?" Zhao Wuji trembled. "The best I've seen before was only a hundred-year-old Blood Black Gold. Did the heavens let me fail nine times because the Blood Black Gold was too poor, to let me get this ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold today? I understand, I understand..."

"Ha ha..." Zhao Wuji laughed loudly, his hand waving.

An incredibly powerful Xuan Qi energy burst out, shaking the entire cave, causing the cave walls to crack, and large rocks to fall, smashing onto the ground. The entire huge cave seemed about to collapse.

A Wu Zun-level expert is truly incredibly powerful!

Yang Dingtian tightly watched the almost mad Zhao Wuji.

Today, Zhao Wuji must die, or he, Yang Dingtian, will die!

Yes, this thought is very crazy. Yang Dingtian is just an initiate, while Zhao Wuji is a Wu Zun-level expert. In terms of strength, ten thousand Yang Dingtians are not his match.

"Senior, I have an idea," Yang Dingtian said to Zhao Wuji, a gentle smile on his face.
