Heavy rain poured down outside the hall, and thunder surged from a distance.

This is the first rain in early summer and the farewell to late spring.

Jiao Yue still held the small umbrella, her expression delicate and meticulous, completely unlike the helpless child she had been when she asked Xuan Yi that question in the rain.

Xuanyi bent down, looked at Yaoyao's little face that was half covered with scales, gently touched those hard blue-gray scales with his fingers, and then asked: "Does it hurt?"

Those scales fit tightly together and were as hard as gold and stone, like a fish, a snake or a dragon. When you touch them, you can only feel cold as iron.

Yaoyao shook his head.

Xuanyi looked up at Jiao Yue and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Jiaoyue nodded.

Xuanyi sighed, then took out the strange iron key from the black iron ring and handed it to Jiao Yue.

"Take me to the sword-making pool."

Jiaoyue took the key, her expression unchanged.

"OK."

…

…

The heavy rain seemed to never end. Xuan Yi walked behind Jiao Yue holding a big black umbrella, and Yaoyao held his finger.

Originally, Xuanyi wanted to pick Yaoyao up, but this time the girl shook her head, looked at the boy's face, and said seriously that she could leave.

If you can walk, you don’t need to be held.

The guards of the Os Empire stood in the heavy rain, like straight pine trees. Jiao Yue walked in the rain, like a lonely boat in the rain.

The Sword Forging Pond is located in the deepest part of the Os Palace, in an empty and closed hall, with only a dark hole.

Jiao Yue closed her umbrella and was the first to walk into the cave. Xuan Yi held Yaoyao's hand and walked in.

This cave was deeper than Xuanyi imagined, but it was not narrow. There were black stone steps under the feet, but the field of vision was dark. Jiao Yue took out the strange-shaped key and held it in her hand as if she were holding a torch.

As she walked forward, the light became dazzling.

The cave is very deep, extending hundreds of meters downward without end. The further you go down, the more scorching the temperature becomes.

The realms of Xuanyi and Jiaoyue are both very advanced, especially Xuanyi's Dharma Realm, which is the flow of all things, so they will not be hurt by the heat. However, Yaoyao is an ordinary practitioner of the Gewu Realm, and Xuanyi can't help but He lowered his head to look at Yaoyao's face, and saw that the girl's expression relaxed slightly.

Yes, it seems that the hotter the temperature, the more comfortable Yaoyao feels.

They continued to walk forward until they reached nearly a thousand meters deep underground. Jiaoyue stopped. In front of them was a huge hard vermilion stone door, shining under the light of the strange-shaped key.

Jiaoyue inserted the key into the gap of the stone door, and then the huge stone door slowly opened to both sides. Behind the door was a bright red area, as if there were countless lanterns hanging there.

The overwhelming heat came from behind the door, and the air was almost filled with the smell of fire. Ordinary people could hardly stay in such a temperature for more than a few minutes.

But Yaoyao's expression looked more and more comfortable.

"Have you been here before?" Xuanyi looked at Jiao Yue's familiar movements.

Jiao Yue shook her head: "For the first time, my father should have told you that this is the place where the Os family celebrates their coming-of-age ceremony."

Xuanyi looked at the other person's expression as if he was immature.

"But I know how to get in here."

Jiaoyue said this and walked forward into the world of flames over there.

Xuanyi did not follow him, but looked at Yaoyao beside him: "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately."

Yaoyao shook his head, his red eyes shining with determination.

"I feel good."

Xuanyi pulled Yaoyao and followed Jiaoyue into that world.

Fire fills the world.

…

…

Walking into this blazing hell from the cold outside world with heavy rain, it really felt like a world away. When he got used to the intense heat behind the door, Xuanyi realized that there was actually a sea of ​​magma in front of him.

This is a huge magma cave. No one can imagine that a thousand meters deep underground in the Imperial Palace of the Ossian Empire, there is actually a sea of ​​hot, bright and scorching magma flowing. Ossian Jiaoyue stood on the edge of the ocean and looked back. Xiang Zheng walked towards Xuanyi: "Look, this is the place where Huangtian Ancient Sword was cast. We call it the Sword Casting Pool."

It is indeed a sword-making pool, but this pool is a bit too big.

Xuan Yi couldn't help but recall the rusty sword in his body, and then thought of Xuan Er.

Xuan Er only spoke once when Luoyan took out the token. Although not too long passed, the development of things was turbulent. However, during this period, Xuan Er remained silent.

Seeing this sea of ​​magma, Xuan Yi subconsciously called Xuan Er.

Xuanji didn't respond.

Xuanyi shook his head with some self-mockery, and then touched the forehead of Yaoyao next to him with his hand, only to feel that the girl's forehead was cold.

"What's next?" Xuanyi asked.

The emperor told him that the sword-making pool helped the curse of Yaoyao, so Xuanyi asked Jiaoyue to take him down.

But here is a sea of ​​magma. Is it possible that monsters can be soaked in the magma to cure their illnesses?

Jiao Yue pointed to a puddle of clear water at her feet.

Only then did Xuanyi realize that there was actually water in such a hot place.

Not only was there water, but it looked like a clear water source with no boiling water.

"This is the Earth Spring, also known as the Breath of the Styx. It was here that the ancient sword of Emperor Tian was quenched and cooled." Jiao Yue said, looking at the girl standing next to Xuanyi: "You also need this spring water. Suppress the spread of the curse on you."

Yaoyao nodded, and then walked forward. Before he took a step, Xuanyi reached out to stop him: "Is it just suppression?"

"Didn't father tell you?" Jiao Yue looked sideways at Xuanyi: "This is a curse personally placed by the Xitian clan leader. No one else can lift it except the saint himself."

"Then what?" Xuanyi asked.

"Then you need to enter the Forgotten City, either ask Xitian Clan Leader to lift the curse, or find the remains of the phoenix. Although I feel that the difficulty of these two things is about the same, for you, you need First get a place to enter the Forgotten City."

Yes, Luoyan was the messenger sent by the Nihuang clan to guide him, but Xuanyi finally offended him greatly and lost his place in the Forgotten City.

This was the agreed quota for the Os family in the past.

"What can I do?" Xuan Yi asked.

He just wanted to know if there was one.

When he first became a walker in Star City, it seemed to be much more difficult than it is now to go to the Xitian clan leader to ask him to lift the curse, so he didn't feel that this was absolutely impossible to achieve.

"Of course, because Luoyan came here with a quota." Jiaoyue replied slowly: "If you don't want it, she will naturally give it to others."

"How to give?" Xuan Yi asked directly to the crux of the problem.

"It depends on the style of the messenger. After all, this is the birthday of the Xitian clan leader. Many people will be invited, and more than one messenger will be sent."

"For Luo Yan." Jiao Yue smiled and gently pressed her lips with her fingers.

"I guess she will set up the Phoenix Tower."
