Chapter 443 Water and Fire Tempering Dragon Stage (2/2)

The group of three walked for about half an incense stick of time.

Old Xuan’s footsteps finally stopped. Zhou Yuan lifted his head and looked to the front, as a look of surprise appeared on his face.

A giant river had appeared with a stone pillar standing in the middle like a platform.

Two stone dragons could be seen on the cliffs on both sides of the pillar. The dragons coiled around the cliffs, their giant mouths facing the pillar from the left and right.

Zhou Yuan curiously asked, “What is this?”

He looked towards the two stone dragons upon the cliffs. In their giant mouths, he could just barely make out several faintly glowing runes that gave off peculiar undulations.

Old Xuan also gazed at the two stone dragons as a reminiscent look flitted across his eyes. “This is the Water and Fire Tempering Dragon Stage.”

“Water and Fire Tempering Dragon Stage?” Mumbled Zhou Yuan.

“These two stone dragons represent fire and water. Ancient Genesis Runes have been carved inside them that reach deep into the ground, where they are able to draw on fire and water Qi. Once activated, fire and water Qi will simultaneously pour out from their mouths…” Explained old Xuan.

“The water Qi will be extremely cold, while the fire Qi extremely hot. When the body is placed between them, it will be placed under the most intensive of tempering. Of course, the pain one has to endure will naturally also be extraordinary. As such, someone without sufficient willpower is forbidden from entering the stage.”

Zhou Yuan shivered slightly when he heard this, as if already imagining that dreadful scene.

“If you wish to master the little Mythic Saint Body, this will be the best place.” Old Xuan chuckled. “Moreover, this was also where master trained back then.”

Zhou Yuan was quite surprised. “Patriarch Cang Xuan also trained here?”

Old Xuan nodded. “Do you see the stone scales on the foreheads of the two dragons? There are a total of eighteen of them, and every one that lights up represents an increase in the level of intensity. The highest is naturally level eighteen.”

“Back then, master would place himself at level eighteen all the time. When that happened, half of the Cangxuan Sect would be at the mercy of extreme heat, while the other half would be miserably cold.”

“Of course, that’s still too unimaginable for you. Let alone the eighteenth level, just being able to endure the first level alone should be enough for you to reach the initial stage of the little Mythic Saint Body.”

Zhou Yuan sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Eighteenth level… what kind of inconceivable horror was that? He would surely be instantly vaporized if he were to face it.

Old Xuan grinned as he watched the changing expression on Zhou Yuan’s face, before pointing a gnarly finger at the stone stage.

“So? Do you dare to give it a little try?”

Zhou Yuan licked his lips. Though his eyes were filled with a grave expression, not even the slightest trace of fear could be seen.

Because he understood that he needed to grow stronger if he wanted to put up a fight against Lu Hong’s faction in the upcoming chief disciple selection. Otherwise, Yuan Hong would be a giant mountain that lay in his path, stopping anyone who wished to cross.

Since old Xuan had presented an opportunity to him, there was no naturally no way Zhou Yuan would back down because of some pain.

Hence, he displayed no hesitation in response to old Xuan’s teasing question. The tip of his foot pushed off the ground as his figure agilely leaped forward. He landed on the stone stage and sat down.

He directly used his actions to show his determination.

Old Xuan softly chuckled when he saw this. Without further ado, the broom in his hand made a gentle sweeping motion. The two giant stone dragons on the cliffs immediately began shaking. Zhou Yuan watched as burning steam began to rise from one, while cold Qi spread from the other, rapidly creating a layer of frost around it.

Roar!

The ground shook as the river churned violently.

In the next instant, what seemed to be a deep dragon roar was heard. One could only watch as a hundred foot wide torrent of white burst out from one of the dragon’s mouths along with chillingly cold Qi.

From the other, a scarlet-red magma like flood poured out.

Ch!

The two torrents ultimately met on the stone stage, instantly swallowing Zhou Yuan’s figure.

AHHH!

A miserable shriek rang out in the mountain forest at this moment.
