Chapter 229
But at the same time, risk and opportunity coexist. Those with Spirit Fire can even challenge those at higher cultivation levels.
She had heard of this Spirit Fire before; it was said to be the most supreme existence in the world.
But now it was calling Su Chen “Master.”
Among the three people present, their moods were vastly different. Only Su Chen was in the most bewildered state.
Suddenly, from the fluttering books, a streak of azure blue flame shot out. The flame was not large, even somewhat weak, flickering constantly like a mischievous child. It circled Su Chen several times.
“Why is Master so weak now?”
The Spirit Fire asked in a naive and puzzled tone.
But after seeing its old acquaintance, Green Vine, it immediately rushed over excitedly.
Green Vine, whose true form was a Tree Spirit, was naturally afraid of fire. Seeing the flame rushing towards her, her face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly hid behind Su Chen.
“Don’t…don’t come over here!”
“After a million years, you’re still so timid, hahaha.”
The Spirit Fire immediately burst into intense laughter, causing its flames to flicker brightly and dimly.
Green Vine was so angry that she couldn’t speak and subconsciously wanted to hit it. But remembering that in the past, she would probably only end up being ignited, she could only pout with great grievance.
“Master has reincarnated. You know what happened back then. It took me a lot of effort to find Master.”
Green Vine felt a pang of sadness as she recalled her centuries of hardship.
The Spirit Fire also remembered the past, and its laughter was no longer as carefree and joyful as before. But soon, it flew back to Su Chen.
“It’s okay, Master. With my help, you will surely recover to your previous life’s cultivation level very quickly.”
The Spirit Fire was very close to Su Chen, and he could immediately feel the scorching temperature. But it didn’t hurt him; he only felt warm and somewhat comfortable.
“Master, you can call me Little Spirit, just like before. I’ve been trapped here for hundreds of years, unable to escape. Those damned villains actually used Master’s blood to seal me and even sent Demonic Beasts to guard me. I tried many ways to guide people here, but they all failed. Now I’ve finally seen the light of day again.”
As Little Spirit spoke, it became teary-eyed. If it had a physical body, it would probably be hugging Su Chen’s leg and crying.
“It’s alright, it’s alright.”
Su Chen was still in a daze. He subconsciously touched his nose, his usually eloquent and quick-witted mouth unable to find the right words this time.
“Master, have you forgotten me? You’re so cold to me now.”
Little Spirit said with great grievance again.
Green Vine couldn’t stand it anymore. Why was this Spirit Fire, after gaining sentience, acting like a scoundrel, constantly seeking Master’s favor?
Master’s love was already divided into many parts. If it was divided further, she would only have a tiny bit left.
Thinking of this, Green Vine said bluntly, “Stop pretending. Master doesn’t recognize you yet. You’re so enthusiastic; anyone who didn’t know better would think you were some kind of swindler trying to extort money!”
Little Spirit obviously hadn’t considered this aspect. Although it had gained sentience, it hadn’t encountered many humans and didn’t understand the complexities of human nature.
It only knew how to express its joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness directly. It hadn’t expected to accidentally cause trouble for its Master.
Thinking of this, it felt a little guilty.
“Alright, Little Spirit, since you’ve been here for so long, do you know what’s going on with the other two doors?”
Seeing this, Su Chen felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and immediately changed the subject.

As soon as the serious matter was brought up, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Little Spirit. Little Spirit was currently just a ball of fire, without any facial expressions, but everyone inexplicably felt it had an unfathomable aura.
“I’ve been trapped here for a long time. Although I was sealed, I could still sense the outside world. The place with the eagle totem seems to be where they use to communicate with the outside.”
“Every once in a while, there would be Spiritual Energy interference. As for the snake, I don’t know. I haven’t felt any fluctuations from there since I arrived.”
Little Spirit continued.
“Then do you have a way to get in?” Green Vine chimed in and asked.
“Who am I? I’m a top-tier Spirit Fire, capable of reaching the heavens and entering the earth. If they hadn’t sealed me with True Dragon’s aura, I wouldn’t have been trapped for so long. As for those restrictions on their doors, they’re a piece of cake for me, just a matter of exhaling.”
Little Spirit said proudly. If it had a tail, it would probably be wagging like a propeller at this moment.
“Then hurry up and take us there.”
Green Vine said quickly upon hearing this.
They had been in this illusionary realm for too long. The thought of being able to leave soon made them feel a little excited.
“Coming, coming.”
Little Spirit had also had enough of this place. Although the scenes were from its previous life, being in this empty hall for thousands of years with only itself and a Demonic Dragon had left it with psychological trauma.
As soon as it finished speaking, it immediately released Spirit Fire towards a certain spot. The originally calm scene immediately changed, replaced by a dilapidated cave, and a large opening was burned open in front of the Spirit Fire.
After everyone went through the opening, they returned to the space between the three stone doors.
Because the restriction had been lifted, the area in front of the stone door with the dragon totem, which was originally desolate, returned to its original appearance, looking out of place compared to the other two.
Little Spirit immediately flew to the eagle totem and forcefully exhaled a mouthful of fire. The azure blue flame instantly blazed fiercely, filling the air with the smell of burning.
It wasn’t long before the stone door was burned to ashes.
“Master, come in quickly,” Little Spirit said excitedly, its flames flickering brightly and dimly.
As soon as they entered, they immediately sensed an unusually cold aura. Several poisonous snakes rushed towards them, flicking their tongues.
But before they could reach them, Little Spirit burned them all to ashes.
“A bunch of low-level Demonic Beasts, daring to act presumptuously in front of me. With me here, don’t even think about harming Master!”
Little Spirit said triumphantly.
Su Chen couldn’t help but touch Little Spirit’s flame. Little Spirit enjoyed it immensely, the flames brushing against Su Chen’s palm, ticklish yet warm.
Only after they walked further in did they realize that this was clearly a tomb. In the center was a huge coffin. The coffin was entirely black, made of extremely Yin wood. Not only that, but it was also covered in complex patterns.
Just by looking at it, one could tell that the origin of these patterns was not from the righteous path, and they were extremely Yin and evil, as if to suppress righteousness.
The already extremely Yin and evil wood, coupled with this evil curse, was like wishing for someone to die a terrible death.
Liu Ruoyan’s body began to tremble slightly. Among them, her cultivation level was the lowest, so she was more intensely affected. This coldness was not physical but a direct attack on the mind, causing deep fear.
