Chapter 1646 The Gate of Immortality Reappears

Seven days later.

The magma pool emitted clear sounds, and several bright rays of light rushed into the sky from the bottom of the cenote.

Ye Chunyang sat cross-legged beside the magma pool, casting spells one after another, and the spiritual light merged into the scorching sun essence in the sky.

"Now the scorching sun essence is free of impurities, and then it can be separated and integrated into the eighty-one swords."

Ye Chunyang's mind sensed the scorching sun essence for a moment, and he was secretly satisfied.

After seven days of refining, the black skin on the surface of the scorching sun essence had fallen off, becoming shiny and extremely dazzling. The huge volume that originally required a box to hold has now become the size of a fist.

This is the effect of the Nine Li True Fire plus the fire attribute aura of this place.

Speaking of which, the purity of the fire aura here was somewhat beyond Ye Chunyang's expectations. In his expectation, even with the Nine Li True Fire, it would take at least half a month to refine the scorching sun essence. Unexpectedly, with the blessing of the aura here, it was shortened by half.

He then shook his sleeves.

"Shua shua" several sword sounds rang out, bursts of silver light flashed out, and turned into dense flying swords entwined, gathered above the magma pool, and headed straight for the essence of the scorching sun.

Now is the most critical step in the entire ritual refining process.

In order to make the eighty-one flying swords have the special effect of absorbing sunlight to enhance their power, only by melting the essence of the scorching sun into the sword body can it be done.

Although Ye Chunyang has been practicing Taoism for many years and has rich experience in refining treasures, he has never had the chance to obtain such a rare treasure as the essence of the scorching sun, and he is not sure whether he can succeed.

After releasing the eighty-one flying swords, he immediately pinched his hands, mobilized the mana in his body, and the fire in his eyes flowed. The power of the Nine Li True Fire was pushed to the limit by him.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

A series of strange noises came from the essence of the scorching sun, and a layer of green smoke spread all over its body. Under the fierce quenching of the Nine Li True Fire, fine cracks appeared.

Like a broken eggshell, every detail is visible.

Ye Chunyang's eyes condensed, and he slashed with his sword with two fingers. Several sword qi passed through the void, and after circling around the essence of the scorching sun, they suddenly chopped it into pieces, turning it into shining stones as big as a little finger and flew out.

Almost at the same time, Ye Chunyang changed his fingers into palms, and grasped them in the air. The flying stones immediately gathered into the eighty-one swords. With his mind control, the sword formation suddenly operated, and silver light covered the stones.

A crisp sound of ding-dong-dong came!

The eighty-one swords kept humming, and the thunder on them jumped. As soon as the stones transformed from the essence of the scorching sun touched the sword body, Ye Chunyang immediately urged the Nine Li True Fire to refine it again.

Soon, all the stones melted at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared into the sword body.

The bright sunlight shone from the sky, and suddenly, the humming sound rose!

The silver luster of the eighty-one swords rose sharply, like eighty-one beams of light, rushing straight into the clouds of the sky, and the sharp edge split the sky.

Ye Chunyang was overjoyed.

He did not expect that the integration of the essence of the scorching sun would be so smooth. After absorbing sunlight with the help of this essence stone, the power of the Great Thousand Sword Formation was significantly improved. Ye Chunyang had no doubt that now he only needed to gently urge the sword art to immediately chop the surrounding mountain gates into powder.

Such power fell on the strong man of the Cave Heaven Realm, and the other party would definitely not be able to escape.

However, this power of absorbing sunlight did not last long. After a few breaths, the eighty-one swords recovered their original aura, and the thunder on them gradually weakened.

Ye Chunyang was not disappointed.

Although the power increase has a time limit, in the battle between the strong, any details may determine success or failure. If he is hostile to others, the flying swords will instantly burst out with several times the power, and it is not a problem to kill a Jindan realm cultivator in seconds.

The magma pool below was agitated by the sword energy, and waves of fire continued to emerge, and the entire magma pool was also rolled up into a vortex.

Ye Chunyang had no choice but to retract the sword formation.

At this power, if it continues, it may cause a volcanic eruption, which will attract the attention of other cultivators.

Although no one in the Northern Region can match Ye Chunyang, it will be a headache to attract so many eyes for no reason.

"Huh?"

Just as Ye Chunyang put away the sword formation and prepared to leave this place, he glanced and showed surprise on his face.

The fire waves rolled in the magma pool, and the vortex did not dissipate, but became more and more intense, as if something was about to break out of it, and the surrounding magma was also swept to the sides by the vortex, showing a dark cave inside.

Ye Chunyang's eyes condensed.

Looking down at the cave under the magma pool, he didn't see anything from it, but Ye Chunyang felt a strange breath fluctuation inside, as if to attract people in.

Ye Chunyang felt cold in his heart.

He had been refining treasures in this magma pool for several days and had not found anything unusual. Such a sudden change was beyond his expectations.

"Is it not some strange black haze again?"

Ye Chunyang thought of the dark haze that swept him and Nie Xin into the black sea in Tianxuan Mountain, and his forehead twitched.

He didn't want to be trapped in some inexplicable place again.

However, looking at this deep and bottomless black hole, Ye Chunyang had a strange feeling again, as if he had seen it before.

His eyes flashed a few times, and a divine thought was released, ordering his clone to guard outside the mountain, and then he jumped towards the black hole.

It was unknown what dangers there would be, but Ye Chunyang never hesitated. If he really encountered something difficult to solve, he would withdraw and escape in time.

After entering the black hole, there was no expected hot air, but a cool feeling surrounded it. There was no magma around, which made people feel comfortable.

And it was not pitch-black inside. There were a few beams of light that faintly illuminated the surroundings.

Not long after landing, Ye Chunyang felt that his feet were on the ground. At the same time, a stream of light came from the front, through which he could see the surroundings clearly. It turned out to be a rock wall, uneven, with a faint flash of strange light.

Ye Chunyang subconsciously touched the rock wall with his hand and found that it was inlaid with countless strangely shaped stones. A pure spiritual energy was transmitted from his fingers to his body, making his true energy flow smoothly.

"These strange stones actually contain spiritual energy, but they don't look like spiritual stones. Could they be ancient mines?" Ye Chunyang sensed silently, his heart was shaken.

Ancient mines are a kind of spiritual mines that have not yet been mined. They were formed by the gathering of primordial energy when the world was first created and are hidden deep underground.

This kind of ancient ore is extremely rare. It can be said to be the original form of spiritual stone, and the spiritual energy contained is several times that of ordinary spiritual stones.

"I didn't expect that there would be an ancient ore here. It's a chance."

Ye Chunyang showed his joy.

Whether it is direct absorption or array refining, the effect of ancient ore is far better than ordinary spiritual stones, and its value is immeasurable.

Although there are not many ancient mines here, it is also a rare treasure. Ye Chunyang immediately drew his finger and urged the sword energy to separate all these ancient mines from the rock wall.

Then the Qiankun bag opened, and hundreds of ancient ores were collected in the bag.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a violent roar came from an unknown place, and the light beams flowing in the black hole suddenly became strong, like blades shooting out.

Ye Chunyang's body was shining, and the protective spiritual light covered him in the air, protecting him.

But then he was shocked.

Under the illumination of the spiritual light, a huge portal stood in the depths of the black hole, with eight giant dragons hanging in the sky, like the Shura Gate in hell, dark and eerie, making people palpitate.

However, when Ye Chunyang saw this portal, his face suddenly froze.

"How could this thing... be here?"

Ye Chunyang's eyes were cold, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

He had seen this portal before, and it was exactly the Gate of Immortal Trace that he saw when he first went to Zhongzhou from the Northern Territory!

"How is this possible?"

Ye Chunyang was shocked.

The Gate of Immortal Trace had obviously disappeared at that time, but it appeared here, and now the gate was open, and no one knew what was inside.

Ye Chunyang felt that this Gate of Immortal Trace must be hiding a big secret. It was taken away by a mysterious force at that time, and now it appeared in this ancient mine, which was even more weird and unpredictable.

He walked towards the portal, and his magic power flowed secretly.

When his palm touched the door, an ancient and vast breath emanated.

"King Nanxuan said that this gate of immortals is very likely to be related to the spirit world. Could it really be some kind of spiritual treasure?"

Ye Chunyang stared at the open door, which was deep and endless, as if it contained some kind of truth of heaven and earth.

However, this depth made people feel inexplicably cold.

After pondering for a while, Ye Chunyang urged the spell and mobilized his magic power to cover the gate of immortals.

The next moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound, and the eight giant dragons crawling on the door seemed to be possessed by life, flew out from it, and circled around the giant door.

Ye Chunyang felt a warning in his heart, and the Great Thousand Sword Formation was immediately released, covering his body with a layer of protective magic shield.

An amazing scene appeared.

After the eight giant dragons circled several times, a stream of black ink-colored light gushed out from the portal. Ye Chunyang only felt a surging suction force sweeping over. The surrounding stone walls collapsed one after another, turned into rubble and were taken into the portal. The magma divided by the black hole on both sides was also swallowed by the giant gate, and the place became empty in an instant.

After taking everything around into the gate, the gate of the fairyland seemed to tremble a few times, and then it shrank rapidly in an incredible way, from the previous hundred feet high to the size of a palm. The eight giant dragons lost their light and crawled back on the gate again, and everything became as quiet as before.

"Devouring power!"

Ye Chunyang looked at the bare scene around him and couldn't help but gasp.

Just now, the gate of the fairyland was injected with magic power by him, and the eight giant dragons were awakened, and at the same time, the power of this portal was stimulated, swallowing everything here.

"I'm afraid that such a rare treasure is rare in the spirit world!"

Ye Chunyang said solemnly.

He had been in the spirit world for three hundred years and had seen many treasures, but he had never encountered such a treasure that could devour everything.

Staring at the miniature gate of immortals, Ye Chunyang hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and grabbed it in the air. The gate actually flew over on its own initiative and fell into his hand, floating up and down.
