Little Ice Crystal was eating in the front, while Little Red Crystal and Little Purple Crystal watched on the side.
Little Red Crystal was the first to absorb the Death Sea’s power, but that was a long ti ago. This ti, Little Red Crystal didn’t get a chance to absorb energy; she could only watch the fun from the side.
As for Little Purple Crystal Zi Ying, she was waiting for the sixth level of the cave to open and absorb power from there. But before absorbing, she evidently had to destroy the sixth level’s fire power first; otherwise, she wouldn’t have a chance to absorb a large amount of the fire’s source.
"All full and ready to go!" Ye Fan said to Little Ice Crystal, who was savoring the mont.
Little Ice Crystal looked at Ye Fan, seemingly very exhausted. Zi Ying said, "Little Ice Crystal, we’ll call you Little White from now on. Quickly co into the master’s storage bracelet with us; it’s comfortable to sleep inside. You can also cultivate inside, because after eating so much, you need to cultivate properly. Otherwise, you’ll end up like her and it, both stuffed full!"
Having escaped earlier to warm up in Ye Fan’s embrace, Little Lan Jing and Little Black Crystal were still on Ye Fan’s shoulders.
What Zi Ying referred to as "her and it" were Little Black Crystal and Little Lan Jing.
At this ti, Little Lan Jing had not yet attained the form of an object spirit. Estimating a day or two of cultivation would be needed; when Little Red Crystal absorbed a large amount of energy before, it also took a long rest before achieving the form of an object spirit.
"Ye Fan, let’s go!" Although Ye Fan had originally intended to sort through the surrounding magic tools, there were simply too many. Even if his storage bracelet could hold them, it would beco heavy. So, Ye Fan preferred to pick and leave behind the low-level magic tools.
With the addition of Little Ice Crystal, his power increased significantly. With Little Ice Crystal’s power, now among six crystals, he was only missing the life crystal, whose location he would continue to search for.
...
...
The fifth level cave and the sixth level cave were connected too.
Upon entering the sixth level cave, it didn’t differ much from the previous levels. In the center of the cave, there was a huge altar with flas burning on it. The intensity of these flas wasn’t great, and it seed the flas wouldn’t beco a threat to human survival.
"Zi Ying, it’s up to you!" Ye Fan said.
"Mm-hmm." Last ti, Zi Ying went directly and was frozen into an ice block; this ti she knew the flas inside were prepared for her, and she raced upward.
Only to see a purple mist linger above the bronze cauldron, ready to open and consu the flas, but with two puffs of breath, the flas completely extinguished.
"Hm? Master, I don’t know why, but I didn’t eat anything!" Little Purple Crystal called out from afar.
"Find your own solution!" Ye Fan transmitted his voice through the Bronze Mirror.
Ye Fan could have spoken directly; most human pronunciations could be heard by the crystals. But he didn’t want the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman to overhear his conversations with the small crystals, so he chose to communicate using the Bronze Mirror.
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman looked at the empty altar and said, "If not knowing, one might truly think you were pretending to be mystical. What’s going on?"
"Not going well, as witnessed by senior, the flas have extinguished!" Ye Fan said.
"The flas extinguishing implies two possibilities: one being the flas here aren’t part of the sixth-level altar. Perhaps this isn’t a fire-elent altar; maybe there are altars beyond the six crystals!" Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman analyzed.
Ye Fan said, "Let’s assu it’s a fire altar. Senior, you have no opinion?"
"No opinion at all. Even if you want to have one, I do not. But if we get past this level, to the next level...I might have so thods. I can’t handle the elental cave; these elents are beyond my control!" Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman said.
Ye Fan was puzzled. Previously, Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman claid she knew little about the next level of the altar, didn’t even know how many levels of caves there were, yet now she seed certain there were ans at the next level?
How could she be sure there’s another level?
While Ye Fan was deep in thought, Zi Ying descended from the altar, floated to Ye Fan’s side, and said, "Master, very strange inside, there’s a lot of yellow stuff that I dare not touch and cannot eat!"
Ye Fan looked at Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and said, "Senior, shall we go up and have a look together?"
"Lead the way!" Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman said sternly, following Ye Fan onto the altar, which they alone ascended among various altars.
Indeed, as Zi Ying said, inside the altar there was no fla, only so yellow oil-like substance. Ye Fan could sense the fuel’s very high ignition point, but regarding the burning situation, he didn’t know whether it was similar to the small fla encountered upon entering.
"Zi Ying, try igniting it yourself!" Ye Fan said, then to Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, "Senior, feel free to rest down below. This is Little Purple Crystal’s task."
"Up and down, is it fun? Hurry and resolve this!" Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman said sowhat impatiently.
Ye Fan was quite displeased with Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman’s attitude, but since she promised him two conditions—one to gift him an item, the other to allow him to choose sothing from her, actually a third task was another half from Ta Ning, though Ye Fan was unsure if Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman was deceiving him.
Zi Ying returned to human form and began blowing into the bronze cauldron; her breath primarily consisted of flas. With a mouthful of fla, the cauldron was completely ablaze, but the flas were only as large as before. Zi Ying seed greedy, wanting to consu, but after so inhaling and exhaling, the flas in the cauldron were fully extinguished again.
"Ye Fan, seems like there’s no progress! This place is like a dead silent bitter sea, devoid of any sound. If unable to pass this level, accessing the next is impossible; what you wish for cannot be obtained!" Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman almost tauntingly said.
"No need for senior’s reminder!" Ye Fan finished speaking and said to Little Ice Crystal in his storage bracelet, "Ice Crystal, when you and Zi Ying’s cultivation levels rge, it not only won’t decrease your inherent temperature but can elevate it. Give it a try!"
"Mm!" Little Ice Crystal escaped from Ye Fan’s storage bracelet and rapidly flew to Zi Ying’s side. After inhaling and exhaling, Zi Ying collaborated as well. The two inhaled and exhaled together, temperature not only doubled but soared to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of degrees. Instantly, the flas blazed fiercely, and the bronze cauldron finally caught fire.
"Great, fantastic!" Zi Ying disregarded everything else; she wanted to eat the flas. But before she could begin, she found the flas had already surged to the ceiling and even spread throughout the room; it seed the altar was ablaze.
