In the deepest part of the Black Abyss Mountain Range, in a concealed cave, Ye Hao sat down cross-legged as he gasped for breath. His expression was filled with exhaustion as he smiled bitterly: "That abyss is at least thousands of feet deep."

He was not one of those grand cultivators who could walk in the void. He climbed up from the bottom of the abyss. Even though he had just broken through, he almost collapsed from exhaustion.

Fortunately, the deepest part of the Black Abyss Mountain Range seemed to be because of the existence of this dark and cold abyss. There were no living beings nearby.

Or else, with his current state, if he were to meet a few more powerful Monstrous Beasts, it would be extremely funny.

"Kid, take out those things and take a look." Shen Jiuyou's voice was also somewhat tired. It was evident that with his current state, forcibly seizing control of the ancient array in the Black Eerie Swamp had caused him to lose a lot of energy.

Hearing this, Ye Hao suppressed the urge to continue refining the blood essence and nodded with a fiery look on his face.

When the old man was alive, even the unfathomable Shen Jiuyou was revered by him.

Even Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants would feel jealous of something left behind by such a character, not to mention Ye Hao. At this moment, his heart was filled with anticipation.

"You have to keep these elixirs safe."

Ye Hao took out a few medicinal fruits from his storage bag. Ye Hao's expression was solemn as he carefully put them away.

Including the spirit fruit in the gorge, he had three grade four spirit fruits and a quasi-grade five spirit fruit in his bag of holding.

The value of these spiritual medicines could even be said to have far surpassed the entire Ye family's foundation. At the same time, these fourth rank spiritual medicines were the key to healing his grandfather's hidden injuries. They were not to be lost.

Soon after, Ye Hao took out the storage bag he obtained from the old man. Spiritual energy appeared in his palm, but there was no reaction from the storage bag.

"Uncle Shen, this … Why can't you open it? " Ye Hao looked astonished.

Shen Jiuyou's Divine Sense swept out. After inspecting it, he lazily said, "This storage bag has the restrictions that that guy placed when he was still alive. Unless his cultivation is higher than his, it's impossible to open."

"Ah?!"

This storage bag could be said to be the biggest treasure of that terrifying old man. If he could only open it after his cultivation had surpassed him, then how long would it take?

"Uncle Shen, even you can't open it?" Ye Hao looked at the storage bag in his hand and said unwillingly.

"When I'm at my peak, it will naturally be easy. However, since Master Shen only has a remnant soul left, there's nothing I can do about it for the time being."

Shen Jiuyou laughed strangely, and continued to speak: "You don't have to worry, that guy has been dead for close to a thousand years, after so many years of erosion, the restrictions on his storage bag are not as strong as it was before. According to Master Shen's estimates, once you break through to the Burning Fire Realm, you should be able to open it."

"Burning Fire Realm …" Ye Hao's face twitched. The Burning Fire Realm was already the strongest realm in the entire Black Lake City, how could it be so easy to reach?

Even the clan leaders of the Chen and Bai Clans, who had only reached the great circle of the Dao Soul Realm, were unable to take that final step into the Burning Fire Realm.

"Don't be discouraged, brat. With the things in the stone box, breaking through to the Burning Fire Realm won't be too difficult for you." Shen Jiuyou chuckled.

Hearing this, Ye Hao was slightly surprised. He quickly put away his storage bag and took out the stone box that he had obtained from the stage.

The stone box was about three inches in size, and its surface was somewhat rough. It was extremely heavy in the hand, and it seemed to be made of ordinary stone.

Ye Hao stared at it. He couldn't help but breathe heavily. Just what was in it? It could actually lower the difficulty for him to break through to the Burning Fire Realm?

He couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart anymore. He slowly opened the stone box, and suddenly, an indescribable heat hit his face.

Under the impact of the heat wave, Ye Hao couldn't help but squint his eyes. Inside the stone box, four balls of flame were impressively reflected in his line of sight.

"This is …" "Fire?"

Ye Hao was stunned. His expression was somewhat blank.

These four balls of flame were only the size of an infant's fist. They floated quietly in the four corners of the stone box like four small suns. Two of them were scarlet red, while the other two were dark yellow.

The flames seemed to be made up of countless symbols, looking like a masterpiece of heaven and earth. It was extremely gorgeous and charming. Ye Hao stared at them for a moment, completely engrossed. He couldn't help but sink into the flames.

"This is Heaven and Earth Origin Flame, and it's extremely rare. It's essential to break through the realm of fire."

"Heaven and Earth Origin Flame?"

Shen Jiu You's words caused Ye Hao to suddenly come back to his senses. After muttering to himself, his eyes were filled with shock and he said: "This … It was actually the 'Heaven and Earth Origin Flame'.

Regarding the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame, Ye Yunfeng had not been injured in the past. When he was still at the Great Circle of the Dao Soul, Ye Hao had heard him mention it before.

Heaven, Earth, Origin Fire. Heaven, Earth, and Natural Oddities. Exactly how they were formed was something that no one in this world could say for sure.

Some people said it was the nurturing of the heaven and earth.

Some said it was a rule.

Although there were different opinions, there was one thing in common. The Origin Flames of Heaven and Earth contained a mysterious power. Dao Soul Realm cultivators could enter the Burning Fire Realm if they could refine them.

It could be said that Heaven and Earth Essence Flame was something that Dao Soul Realm cultivators yearned for and longed for the most.

Without it, there was no way for a Dao Realm cultivator to step into the Burning Fire Realm, even if he reached the great circle of cultivation.

However, Heaven and Earth Origin Flame was too rare. Its value was far beyond what ordinary treasures could compare.

Ye Hao remembered that back then when Ye Yunfeng was at the Great Perfection of the Dao Soul, he was unable to step into the next stage due to the lack of Heaven and Earth origin flames.

In the entire Black Eerie City, the only one who possessed the origin fire of heaven and earth was the master of Black Eerie Swamp who was at the Burning Fire Realm.

Ye Hao could imagine that if the news of the four streams of Heaven and Earth Origin Flame in his hands were to leak out, it would definitely attract the wild competition of the entire Black Lake City.

Even the Chen and Bai Families, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, all went all out.

At that time, even if the Ye Family were to go all out, they would not be able to protect him.

This was because the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame represented the hope of breaking through to the Burning Fire Realm. Even if a grade five spirit medicine were to appear in the world, it would still be far inferior to the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame.

This was a precious treasure that Dao Soul Realm cultivators were willing to pay any price to acquire.

Pow!

Quickly closing the box, Ye Hao quickly put it away in his storage bag. After a while, he rubbed his stiff face with an unprecedented seriousness.

He had already made up his mind that he would not leak any information about the Heaven and Earth Origin Flame in his possession. Otherwise, he would be annihilated.

"As expected of a transcendent Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, his skills are truly amazing." Ye Hao couldn't help but sigh. The items left behind by the old man on the stage were undoubtedly a heavenly treasure to him.

In the next moment, his hand flickered with spiritual power as he took out a black jar full of runes.

This black jar had once been held tightly in the hands of that terrifying old man on the Dao Pillar. The amount of attention he attached to it had even surpassed that of the array glyph jade slip.

"I didn't know that … What is it? " Ye Hao's eyes were burning hot.

To be valued so highly by a transcendent Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, the content within must have far exceeded his imagination.

The jar was pitch black in color and gave off a very cool feeling. It was neither gold nor wood, and it was hard to tell what it was made of.

The surface was covered with dense, profound runes. There was a faint, demonic aura emanating from it.

Ye Hao frowned, he was a little hesitant, but at this time, Shen Jiuyou suddenly urged, "Brat, what are you waiting for? "Quick, open it and take a look."

Evidently, even Shen Jiuyou was curious about this black jar.

"Uncle Shen, this thing …" It gives me an ominous feeling, but I can't tell you why. " Ye Hao narrowed his eyes and said.

"Master Shen, why don't you feel it? "Don't think too much into it. What's more, what's there to be afraid of with Master Shen here?" Shen Jiuyou said nonchalantly.

Ye Hao nodded his head hesitantly. Then, he grabbed the side of the jar with his hand and exerted a little strength.

Suddenly, the densely packed glyph characters on the jar flickered with a faint light and knocked his hand away.

"Yi, is this a seal? "Interesting." Shen Jiuyou exclaimed softly.

"Uncle Shen, how about … Or forget it? " Ye Hao said nervously.

"Don't worry. The power of this seal has already become unbearably weak under the corrosion of time. Master Shen helped you break it."

As Shen Jiu You became silent, Ye Hao felt a powerful spiritual sense sweeping towards the black jar in his hand.

Soon, a rune on the body of the jar shattered under the power of the soul consciousness.

Weng! *

As the symbols shattered, the black jar shook violently and flew out of his hand.

Shortly after, a strand of cold, thick, black mist appeared from within the jar.

The moment he saw the black fog, Ye Hao's expression changed. He quickly got up and retreated, even Shen Jiuyou was shocked, and cursed in his heart.

As the black mist spread, an incomparably crazed evil laughter suddenly reverberated within the cave.

"Hahaha …" Finally, finally! We're finally out! "
