Chapter 266: The Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling

After Gu He spoke, with a wave of his hand, he collected the white storage ring from the skeleton into his palm.

Seeing Gu He's action, Venerable Tianhuo was suddenly at a loss for words.

What Venerable Tianhuo had in mind just now was to use the fallen heart flame young fire, along with some items in the storage ring, as compensation.

But Gu He's words completely silenced Venerable Tianhuo.

Ignoring Venerable Tianhuo's unusual emotions, Gu He directly sent a strand of soul power into the white storage ring to investigate.

After a moment of silence, Venerable Tianhuo suddenly spoke in a very desolate tone, "You're right, everything here no longer belongs to me."

By the time Venerable Tianhuo finished speaking, a pale white scroll had appeared in Gu He's hands, which depicted birds and beasts emanating flames all over their bodies.

"Your Excellency has a good eye!" Venerable Tianhuo sighed upon seeing the pale white scroll in Gu He's hands.

"How so?" Gu He pretended to be uninformed.

"This is the famous combat technique of my youth, the 'Five Cycles of Detached Flames Technique.' Heh, it's somewhat inaccurate to call it a combat technique; it should be described as a flame control technique." When speaking of the Five Cycles of Detached Flames Technique, Venerable Tianhuo's tone was not as desolate as before, but rather proud.

"The Five Cycles of Detached Flames Technique, a flame control technique, is divided into five levels according to the shapes of beasts: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and flood dragon. Each level has its own fire spirit. Once the technique is mastered, the five beasts gather to form the Five Cycles of Detached Flames Formation, possessing the tremendous power to steam seas and burn heavens. If among these five beasts, four are condensed from heavenly flames, the power of this technique can rival that of heavenly rank combat skills!"

"From what you've said, this combat technique indeed sounds like a valuable asset!"

"Our meeting here must be fate. Well, if you agree to one condition of mine, not only can I lead you out, but I can also help you repair your soul, and even refine a body for you to resurrect." After inspecting the scroll in his hand, Gu He suddenly said.

Repair the soul and refine the body?

Hearing Gu He's words, Venerable Tianhuo's soul body trembled violently, with indescribable excitement in his eyes.

The next moment, Venerable Tianhuo said with a somewhat trembling voice, "Really?"

"Believe it or not!" Gu He turned his head away, skillfully collecting the fallen heart flame young fire from the skeleton, then proceeded to walk outside.

"Say it, whatever the condition, I agree."

Now, Venerable Tianhuo, aside from a remnant soul, had nothing to lose, so he was not afraid of Gu He making any excessive demands.

Hearing Venerable Tianhuo's words, Gu He stopped in his tracks and then indifferently said, "After your resurrection, you need to follow me for two years. During these two years, you must do whatever I ask of you."

"Two years!"

Hearing Gu He's demand, Venerable Tianhuo did not show much resistance; he even felt it was somewhat short.

He had been in this place for countless years. If Gu He had not come this time, in another three or four years, his remnant soul would have completely dissipated from this world.

Thus, with a chance of resurrection in front of him, let alone two years, ten years, a hundred years, he might agree.

"Venerable Gu, I, Yao Tianhuo, swear by my soul, if you can resurrect me, I will follow you for two years." Venerable Tianhuo said very solemnly.

Gu He pointed to the white storage ring in his hand and slowly said, "In that case, you will temporarily stay in this ring, and we will leave immediately."

"Please, Venerable Gu, also take my corpse with you!" Venerable Tianhuo made one last request.

"Okay!"

Gu He nodded lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the corpse on the ground flew into the white storage ring.

"Okay!"

Gu He nodded lightly, and with a wave of his hand, the corpse on the ground flew into the white storage ring.

Afterward, Venerable Tianhuo's soul transformed into a streak of light and entered the ring.

"The young fire has been obtained. Next, it's time to search for the location of the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling!" Gu He murmured to himself, then lifted his foot and stepped out of the white light circle, as the world in front of him once again turned into a sea of crimson lava.

Leaving the light circle, Gu He hastened his pace downwards without hesitation.

Inside the white ring, Venerable Tianhuo, sensing Gu He's action, seemed to think of something, and a hard-to-conceal fear appeared on his face.

After a long while, Venerable Tianhuo came back to his senses and warned, "Venerable Gu, I advise you not to probe further down."

"Oh? It seems you know something?" Gu He asked with interest.

Venerable Tianhuo took a deep breath and slowly said, "When my physical body was destroyed, I vaguely detected a terrifying presence below."

"Therefore, I have a bold guess. Could these mysterious flame lizards be akin to guardians at the bottom of the magma?"

"Hearing you say that, I've become even more curious about the world below." Gu He's mouth curved into a smile, and he increased his speed downwards.

"Ah..."

Seeing Gu He's reckless behavior, Venerable Tianhuo let out a sigh as if resigned to fate.

...

As Gu He continued to dive, a pair of red pupils as large as a truck's focused on him in the magma world.

Feeling this aura, Venerable Tianhuo inside the ring became somewhat excited and said, "Back then, I encountered such a big guy. If it weren't for the injury caused by swallowing a heavenly flame that weakened my strength, perhaps I could have killed it."

"Let's fight him after you're resurrected. For now, we need to get out of here."

After saying this, Gu He thought to himself, "Ascension Steps!"

The next moment, his body instantly disappeared from the sight of the gigantic flame lizard.

Continuously using "Ascension Steps" was a massive drain on Gu He's dou qi.

Fortunately, Gu He had prepared for this. Whenever his dou qi was half depleted, he always managed to take out a medicinal pill in time to replenish his lost energy.

By now, countless flame lizards in the magma space were aware of Gu He's intrusion into their territory, and numerous figures were frantically searching for him in the magma.

...

During the lengthy descent, Gu He spotted a patch of somewhat darker magma.

Noticing this dark magma, Gu He's face showed excitement.

However, at that moment, not far from where Gu He was, two milky-white lizardmen noticed him.

These two lizardmen appeared much older than the others, and their strength was also much more terrifying.

Upon seeing Gu He's intrusion, one of the lizardmen suddenly spoke in human language, "Human, this is the graveyard of the gods, not a place you should come. Leave immediately, or if you awaken the guardian, you will be buried here forever!"
