Ch 17: Entering The Tomb

As the Leader of Star Fire Hall extended his hand, a ball of dark flame appeared, and the next instant, an incredibly high temperature started burning the bottom of the hall.

Fortunately, the flame was under Star Fire Hall's Leader's control. Otherwise, it would have surely started wreaking havoc and might have affected the Ye Family as well.

As the Leader of Star Fire Hall took out the Dark Battle Flame, he touched the Black Gate with this ball of flame.

The next instant, the black gate finally reacted for the first time. They saw the black gate sucking the fiery energy that belonged to the Dark Battle Flame. Of course, Star Fire Hall's Leader was able to make up for the energy consumed, but he had to pay a great price for that. His very own Chaos Energy was being used up at a very high speed.

If this continues, he would be soon sucked dry.

Thus, he looked to others for help.

Everyone understand his situation and did not back away in the time of need. They all immediately went to the back of Star Fire Hall's leader and placed their right hand on his back before providing him with their own Chaos Energy.

Time continued to pass and the Black Gate was like a black hole, constantly devouring the fiery energy from the Dark Battle Flame. This continued for a long time and actually caused all of them to sweat profusely.

"How long will it continue to absorb the fiery energy?" The leader of Heavenly Joy Palace could not help but ask in irritation. In fact, everyone was feeling conflicted and irritated in their hearts currently, for they have yet to step foot inside the Tomb, but almost half of their Chaos Energy was already used up.

If this continued, what will they do if they encounter danger inside and needed the support of a large amount of Chaos Energy?

It has to be known that all of them are powerhouses that are standing at the peak of the Land of Morning Stars. Their strength is not something that Ye Xiao or any Chaos Spirit Realm warrior could go against.

Before anyone could respond to the Leader of Heavenly Joy Palace, the Black Gate suddenly shone with many strange runes, and strange carvings started highlighting on it.

The runes on the black gate were squirming, as if tens of thousands of worms were constantly turning and twisting on one another.

A mysterious resplendent light suddenly started glowing on the Gate and the next moment, with a sudden burst of the highest fluctuation of energy, the Gate started burning with Green Flame.

The sudden burst of energy sent everyone flying as they collided against the sand wall and fell to the ground.

They were shocked because of the sudden turn of events. They stood up again and darted their gazes at the Gate.

With the appearance of this flame, the burning sensation of their souls increased tenfolds for some reason and it caused everyone to have difficulties in breathing.

"This flame?"

Everyone was shocked to witness a very strange scene. Although the green flame was burning fiercely on the entire Black Gate, the gate was not harmed in the slightest.

"This must be flame from Spiritual Green Flame. According to the legend about Spiritual Green Flame, this flame can't harm physically, but it could burn the soul completely. Its effect on souls and spiritual-type treasures are so great that even the number one legendary flame can't be compared to it in terms of souls."

As expected of the leader of the most powerful force in the entire Land of Morning Stars. Ling Wei Long was instantly able to recognize the flame.

Hearing his words, President Gu and Vice President Yun frowned their brows and looked very conflicted. They did not want anyone to know about the Spiritual Green Flame. Spiritual Green Flame is one of the two things they wanted to obtain from this Tomb after all.

However, no one here was a fool. With Ling Wei Long's words as a medium, everyone soon realized the truth about the flame burning fiercely on the Black Gate. Coupled with the increase in the burning sensation in their souls and difficulties in breathing, everyone knew what Ling Wei Long said is very likely to be the truth. This green flame burning the black gate might really be the Spiritual Green Flame.

'What should we do now?'

President Gu and Vice President Yun looked at each other with bitter expressions on their faces. They wanted to obtain the Spiritual Green Flame, but for some reason, the Spiritual Green Flame appeared even before they entered the tomb. This is something they did not expect.

Just as the two old men of Formation God Tower were agitated while others had excited expressions on their faces, the green flame burning the gate suddenly disappeared, and along with it disappeared the runes and the strangeness of this gate. A thin line of crack could be now seen in the middle of the gate.

The next instant, the black gate started opening from the middle, and very soon, the path to enter the tomb appeared before everyone's eyes.

Everyone could see a jade green floor on the other side of the gate, but surprisingly, they could only see the floor and nothing else.

"This... Why did the Spiritual Green Flame disappear?"

"We can't feel this flame at all. Even the burning sensation in my soul and the difficulties I was feeling breathing also disappeared. It is as if the Spiritual Green Flame never appeared. What exactly is going on?"

"President Gu, do you have any guesses as to what happened just now?"

Everyone started speaking in shock and agitation. They were very excited when they recognized the Spiritual Green Flame, and everyone started having ideas about obtaining this Legendary Flame.

However, before they could even observe the flame carefully, it disappeared.

Just like everyone else, President Gu and Vice President Yun were also greatly shocked. They did not know why and where the Spiritual Green Flame disappeared to. But they have a few ideas in their hearts.

Now that everyone has already seen the Spiritual Green Flame, hiding anything related to this flame became useless. Gu Lufan and Yun Fenghu knew very well that everyone will definitely try their best to find this flame in the tomb now that they have become aware of its existence.

Thus, Gu Lufan decided to speak about what he thought might be the case behind the disappearance of the black gate.

He said: "Everyone, I think that was not the original Spiritual Green Flame but a flame born from the runes. The rune must have been tempered with the Spiritual Green Flame when it was carved on the gate by Green Flame Emperor. And this must be the key to open the gate. We only needed another Flame Source to make the runes appear on the gate. Now that everything is done according to the rules set by Green Flame Emperor, the gate of the tomb opened."

As he said this, he pointed toward the Jade Green Floor and continued to speak: "Look ahead, the tomb of the Green Flame Emperor is waiting for us to step inside and explore it. Let's not delay any longer. Standing here will only waste our time, for there is nothing here for us to obtain."

Everyone agreed with Gu Lufan. Gu Lufan's explanation might be the truth.

Yes, that must be the truth, otherwise, why would the Spiritual Green Flame disappear so suddenly and without traces?

Ling Wei Long nodded and said: "President Gu, you are right. Let's not waste our time and explore the tomb!"

As he said, he stepped forward and became the first person to enter the Tomb. And to everyone's surprise, as soon as Ling Wei Long entered the tomb, a spatial fluctuation appeared and he suddenly disappeared somewhere.

"This... What happened?"

"Looks like this tomb is like those secret realms that teleport people to a random place upon entering."

"Yes, you are right. There is nothing to think, let's enter."

Just like that, everyone stepped inside the tomb one after another and disappeared to a random place inside the tomb.

When everyone entered the tomb, the black gate automatically closed and a green flame again appeared on it. Then the long thin line of a crack in the middle of the gate also disappeared, causing the gate to become exactly how it was before.

.....

After coming out of the hole, Ye Lihua told Ye Xiao that she has done what he told her to tell everyone below. And then brought Ye Xiao and Ye Moling to the Ye Family.

No one has any idea how long it will take for everyone to come out of the tomb, so no one was willing to wait in the garden for an unknown period of time. Thus, they also left.

The Ye Family brought the people of Star Fire Hall, East Cloud Sect, and Heavenly Joy Pavilion to a place where they could stay comfortably and wait for their leaders to come out.
