WDQK—Chapter 77: Young Master Lin Tian, Qingzhu Wants to Ask You for a Favor
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Any formation has its way of passing through. Although our strength isn't as great as Lin Langtian's and the others' for now, we might still find a way to navigate this sea of fire."
Little Marten grinned and nodded. "You're right. Did you see the fire paths splitting off from the sea of fire?"
"Is this fire path the way to pass through?" Lin Dong asked with uncertainty.
"Hehe, those channels are all fake. Lin Langtian and the others must have the same foolish idea as you, which is why they're trapped in the formation," Little Marten replied with a strange laugh.
Lin Dong rolled his eyes. "Then where do you think the real passage is?"
"The road ahead is the real one."
Little Marten stretched out his claws and pointed toward the blazing sea of fire ahead.
"Is this... true or false?" Lin Dong was taken aback upon hearing this.
"The most unlikely place is often the most probable one. I happen to have a special physique that makes me immune to ordinary flames. I'll go try it first." Lin Tian's eyes flickered slightly as he said this with a smile.
Without waiting for Lin Dong and Little Marten to respond, he walked directly toward the sea of fire.
"Brother Lin Tian, be careful!" Seeing this, Lin Dong exclaimed in surprise, looking at Lin Tian with concern.
Once Lin Tian entered the sea of fire, he felt no burning sensation. He walked forward a few steps and then stopped. "This is indeed the real passage. Let's go. We should keep moving forward."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong hesitated no longer and quickly joined Lin Tian, followed closely by Huo Er and Little Flame.
Immediately, the two humans, two beasts, and one demon spirit waded through the sea of fire, delving deeper into the ancient tomb.
Along the way, the seemingly blazing flames caused them no discomfort at all.
Lin Dong reached out to grab a handful of flames, but it felt as if he were grasping nothingness. He couldn't help but sigh, "This formation is really strange!"
"Look at your useless state. What kind of formation is this? Wait until you leave the Great Yan Dynasty; then you'll see what truly terrifying formations look like!" Little Marten scoffed at Lin Dong's reaction.
Lin Dong and Lin Tian were accustomed to this and didn't pay much heed to Little Marten's remarks.
As they advanced, Lin Dong spotted Lin Langtian and the other two above the sea of fire, but Lin Langtian and his companions failed to notice Lin Tian and Lin Dong.
Suddenly, Lin Dong's expression changed slightly, and he said to Lin Tian, "Brother Lin Tian, have you seen the mysterious woman before? It seems there's no sign of her above this sea of fire."
Lin Tian smiled and replied, "That woman has an extraordinary background, and her strength surpasses that of Lin Langtian and the others. She must have broken through the formation and entered the core of the ancient tomb."
"Oh no, if that's the case, wouldn't she take all the treasures in the ancient tomb first?" Anxiety crept onto Lin Dong's face.
Lin Tian remained calm. "If I obtain it, I'm lucky; if I don't, my bad luck. There's no point in dwelling on it. Let's just go and see what the situation is."
"Yeah," Lin Dong nodded in agreement, his expression becoming much calmer.
The two moved forward for a while until they found a huge bronze door appearing before them in the sea of fire.
At this moment, the bronze door was half-open, indicating someone had already entered the palace behind it.
"It seems that the mysterious woman got there first," Lin Dong said with a wry smile as he gazed at the half-open door.
Lin Tian nodded slightly. "It seems so, but it's not certain. Let's go in and take a look."
With that, Lin Tian stepped confidently through the half-open bronze door, followed closely by Lin Dong.
Upon passing through the door, the red sea of fire completely dissipated.
What lay before them was a quiet stone hall.
The hall was not overly lavishly decorated but had an empty and spacious feel to it.
In the center of the stone hall stood a stone coffin without a lid.
Not far from the stone coffin, Ling Qingzhu stood silently, her jade hand outstretched, holding a green heart that appeared to be condensed from brilliant energy.
The green heart seemed to pulsate with life, gently beating.
As the heart pulsed, the Yuanli power within the hall seemed to resonate with it.
Ling Qingzhu gently clenched her jade hands, and several green lights shot out from the green lotus beneath her feet, all converging on the Nirvana Heart.
"Chi Chi!"
As the green light illuminated the Nirvana Heart, white mist suddenly began to emanate from it!
"Nirvana Heart!" Little Marten's voice sounded surprised in Lin Dong's mind.
Upon hearing Little Marten's words, Lin Dong was taken aback, his gaze riveted on the green heart, desire flickering in his eyes.
Lin Tian also regarded the Nirvana Heart with an enigmatic expression.
"This is not a place for you. Leave!" At that moment, Ling Qingzhu's cold voice suddenly echoed through the hall, her gaze at Lin Tian and Lin Dong filled with warning.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "I am Lin Tian. I have no intention of competing with you for the treasure; I accidentally stumbled in here. I just want to see what the Nirvana Stage powerhouse left behind. May I know your name?"
"Even Lin Langtian and the others are trapped in the formation outside. You're quite capable of breaking in," Ling Qingzhu replied, not yet convinced by Lin Tian's words.
"My name is Ling Qingzhu. If you have no intention of meddling, Qingzhu would like to thank you in advance. However, I hope you two gentlemen will not do anything that may cause misunderstandings."
As she spoke, the Nirvana Heart melted into an emerald green liquid.
Ling Qingzhu warned Lin Tian and Lin Dong as she elegantly lifted the corner of her gauze and slightly parted her red lips to drink the emerald liquid.
Lin Tian observed this scene as his expression shifted. He refrained from disclosing the secret of the Nirvana Heart after all.
Even if he did, Ling Qingzhu would likely not believe him and would question how he knew such information.
At that moment, Ling Qingzhu smiled and said, "The two young masters appear to be trustworthy. I will now refine the energy from the Nirvana Heart. Please do not disturb me."
After she swallowed the emerald liquid, she looked at Lin Tian and Lin Dong and chuckled softly.
"Miss Ling, please go ahead," Lin Tian replied, nodding, and then pretended to walk toward the sarcophagus to investigate it.
Lin Dong sighed reluctantly, following Lin Tian to explore the sarcophagus, hoping to discover something of value.
Unfortunately, they found nothing useful.
"Huh? What is that..." Lin Tian suddenly peered down into the sarcophagus, his expression showing surprise.
Seeing this, Lin Dong leaned forward, his face brightening with excitement.
"Since the treasure has been secured by Miss Ling, we will take our leave!" Lin Tian and Lin Dong exchanged looks and said to Ling Qingzhu.
After that, Lin Tian signaled Lin Dong to leave quickly.
Lin Dong didn't hesitate and immediately mounted the fire python tiger, rushing out of the bronze door.
"Bang!"
At that moment, an explosive wave of energy surged in the air.
From the green lotus, waves of violent energy emanated from Ling Qingzhu's body.
The terrifying pure yin energy created a tumultuous pure yin fire within Ling Qingzhu, causing her Yuanli power to surge wildly.
"Shameless!" Ling Qingzhu shouted angrily as she stood up abruptly and smashed the sarcophagus to pieces with a single palm. At the same time, the green lotus beneath her floated, blocking Lin Tian's way.
Lin Tian said, "Miss Ling, what do you mean by stopping me?"
Ling Qingzhu casually waved a stream of Yuanli power, tightly closing the bronze door before quickly sealing it, then looked at Lin Tian and stated, "Do you know there is something wrong with the Nirvana Heart?"
Lin Tian replied, "I noticed some precautions for absorbing the Nirvana Heart at the bottom of the sarcophagus, but I'm not aware of the rest."
"Mr. Lin Tian, Qingzhu wants to ask you for a favor."
Ling Qingzhu's expression shifted, softening considerably.
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and asked, "What can I do for you?"
