After the Phoenix Cry Palace disciples and Charming Phoenix Palace arrived, on the same night the Praying Phoenix Palace disciples also landed.
Praying Phoenix Palace was the opposite of Charming Phoenix Palace: their disciples were entirely male. When Charming Phoenix Palace represented yin phoenixes and Praying Phoenix Palace represented the phoenixes, the meaning of Praying Phoenix Palace was that they prayed for a wife who matched them.
Whether it was the male disciple from Phoenix Cry Palace or Praying Phoenix Palace, it was an honor if they could marry a proud phoenix bloodline disciple. And every Ancient Phoenix smelting trial was a prime opportunity for the male disciples to get along with these female disciples.
They could show off their skills, earn rewards, and also have a chance to win the hearts of beautiful women; to these male disciples, what could be better than this?
After the disciples from Praying Phoenix Palace arrived, the Ancient Phoenix smelting trial finally began.
The main place of the Ancient Phoenix smelting trial of the Spirit Spirit Star was the underground heavenly pagoda named the 18 Hells of Flame. It was a spirit artifact level treasure that was higher than the Saint Artifact Pavilion. And the Sovereign Ruby was an artifact spirit of the 18 Hells of Flame.
The 18 Hells of Flame Pagoda was built very strangely. Normally, a pagoda was thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, but the 18 Hells of Flame Pagoda was different. It was narrow at the base and was getting thicker further extending downward, as if a pagoda had been shattered underground.
The pagoda with 18 levels didn't seem to be too big, but the Pagoda of 18 Hells of Flame was actually 180,000 miles long, and each level represented 10,000 miles. From the surface of the Fire Spirit Star, this pagoda flashed directly to the core of the planet!
Whether it was a fire star or an ordinary planet, the deeper it went to the core, the greater the temperature. The environment will become much more dangerous and frightening.
The core of a fire star ignites at least 10,000 times hotter than magma! At such a high temperature, even a Divine Transformation realm locomotive would be burnt to ashes if they touched it.
However, even though Fire Spirit Star was not a true fire star, it was still a celestial planet that concentrated a large amount of fire origin energy. It was not much worse than a small fire star. Not to mention anything else, but the heavenly wind fire energy had already surpassed the speed of sound. Every gust of wind blowing for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years surrounded the entire star. The energy required for this was unexpected.
If the surface was so terrifying then the inside could be imagined. Temperatures and pressures reached almost unimaginable levels.
The first level of the 18 Hells of Flame Pagoda had the lowest temperature. But it's only relative. The first level continues for 10,000 miles and the initial temperature is the heat of the magma. The closer one is to the second level, the greater the temperature becomes. The very bottom of the first level had temperatures over a dozen times hotter than molten magma.
Temperature is just one of the dangers. The 18 Hells of Flame were filled with all sorts of array array formations, all of them designed to test and torture trial challengers to their limits.
Lin Ming floated high above the sky of the 18 Hells of Flame Pagoda with the other Phoenix Cry Palace disciples. The pagoda base and also the smallest point was much wider than the Eternal Demon Abyss; its diameter was over 30,000 miles.
The body of the pagoda is at least 30,000 miles wide and 180,000 miles high, Lin Ming had no idea what sort of supreme elder had used their immense magical power to incorporate this gigantic structure into Fire Spirit Star.
Lin Ming could faintly sense that the heaven and earth origin energy of the Fire Star Spirit was being absorbed into this heavenly pagoda. For hundreds of thousands of years, from surface to core, the 18 Hells of Flame Pagoda had absorbed fire origin energy from all over the world. Lin Ming suspected that the supreme elder of the Ancient Phoenix Clan who had placed the 18 Hells of Flame Pagoda here wanted to use the entire Fire Spirit Star as a sacrifice to refine the pagoda, increase the level of the pagoda by another level.
To use Fire Spirit Star as a furnace to refine a 180,000 mile long heavenly pagoda, such courage surpassed Lin Ming's imagination!
“Come, all the disciples followed me to enter the 18 Hells of Flame. You will all cultivate there and see at what level you can survive. Sun Cyprestar said as he led the crowd of disciples to fly into the 18 Hells of Flame.
In the other direction, the disciples of Charming Phoenix Palace and Praying Phoenix Palace also flew into the 18 Hells of Flame.
As soon as Lin Ming entered space within the 18 Hells of Flame, he could feel that the fire origin energy of the heavenly wind suddenly rose to another level!
This place is just a sea of fire. Endless red mist filled this vast space, covering everything and making it hard to see.
Lin Ming also knew that this red fog passed all the way through the abyss to the core of the Fire Spirit Star. The deeper, the more terrifying.
Many Phoenix Cry Palace disciples had already had difficulty maintaining their protective true essence on the surface of the Fire Spirit Star, let alone fighting the heavenly wind in the 18 Hells of Flame. There were four or five disciples who could not withstand the pressure as their protective true essence immediately broke apart like an egg.
"Gee!"
These disciples cried out in fear as they saw a violent heavenly wind charging towards them, ready to separate them. But at this moment, a blue-green energy emerged from the thin air and wrapped around their bodies, isolating the heavenly wind outside so that these disciples were not torn apart.
Some students were panicked. At that moment they thought they were going to lose their lives.
"This is…"
They looked at the blue-green energy surrounding their bodies.
Sun Cyprestar frankly said, his nerves are grating. The blue-green energy that saved these disciples came from the artifact spirit of the 18 Hells of Flame, the Ruby Sovereign. Ever since Sun Cyprestar approved of Chu Redcloud's bet, his mood had become extremely gloomy and he was worried about losing. Now that he saw the disciples he had brought in being useless, how could he not become angry.
"Gohoho!"
At this moment, a clear and light laughter resounded. Without looking, Sun Cyprestar could tell that it was Chu Redcloud from the Fascinating Phoenix Palace.
Behind him was a crowd of Charming Phoenix Palace disciples. The one leading these disciples was Lu Xiaoyun who was dressed in blue, and behind Lu Xiaoyun was a strange little trickster girl called Littlemoon.
Other than them, Charming Phoenix Palace still had 800-900 female disciples. Their average strength was indeed higher than the disciples of Phoenix Cry Palace. Even the weakest and mediocre disciples of the Firebird Hall Charming Phoenix Palace were able to maintain their protective true essence so as not to be destroyed, despite barely managing to do so.
In fact, within the Ancient Phoenix Clan, there tended to be more female talent than male talent. Back at Divine Phoenix Island, this was also the same situation. It was easier for a pure phoenix bloodline to appear in a woman's body.
And within the entire Atlas World, 80% of the female geniuses of the Ancient Phoenix Clan gathered in the Charming Phoenix Palace.
Thus, Charming Phoenix Palace surpassed Phoenix Cry Palace and Praying Phoenix Palace in terms of talent. Correspondingly, the resources that the headquarters passed down to them also surpassed those of Phoenix Cry Palace and Praying Phoenix Palace.
Littlemoon clicked her tongue and smiled as she watched the Phoenix Cry Palace disciples clumsily fumbling around like drowning swimmers. He only looked to be 16-17 years old, but he flew through the heavenly wind like a nimble little fish in the water, without looking distracted at all.
"We'll go first. We will wait for you at the second level of the 18 Hells of Flame. "Chu Redcloud laughed as he spoke. He led his crowd of female disciples underground.
"We're guarding!" Sun Cyprestar said coldly. “If you find you can't resist going any further, stop where you are and start cultivating. This part of the smelting trial will continue for another 20 days, and after that you will all undergo a hard and hard period of special training. If you can't continue then hurry up and get rid of me! ”
Sun Cyprestar's anger had reached a point where he began to curse. Then, he again cared about these low-level disciples. He led the elite disciples of Phoenix Cry Palace underground.
The further they went, the more ferocious and brutal the wind origin fire energy became. Here, the heavenly wind formed a high-speed rotating vortex that rotated in the air. This wind was similar to an endless sharp blade. If a martial artist with insufficient cultivation were to step into this wind, they would be instantly torn apart.
Not only that, but the temperature in the surroundings surged even higher. They were already at a temperature that was eight or nine times hotter than ordinary magma.
This was still the temperature that these geniuses could withstand. But, the true essence they consumed to maintain their protective barrier increased, making it even more difficult to continue.
There are always students left behind. They could not continue any further as they reached the limit to maintain their protective true essence. Many of them even had their true essence destroyers, forcing the Hells of Flame 18 artifact spirits to protect them and bring them back to higher regions.
Of course, the female disciples of Charming Phoenix Palace did not all possess peerless talent. Starting from a hundred miles away, there were always female disciples left behind. These female disciples casually chose a place to sit down and started cultivating.
In the 18 Hells of Flame there were many ways to train. One of the simplest types is to remain within the 18 Hells of Flame and use true essence to resist heat and pressure baptism. This would continue until one's true essence was completely depleted, and there were even some people who had fallen unconscious.
The body of a martial artist was similar to a lake, and the true essence was the water within it. Every time a martial artist ran out of their true essence and pushed it past the limit, it was the same as digging in the lake and making it deeper. This process makes one's foundation more solid.
It was a very simple but also very effective training method.
As for the disciples of Praying Phoenix Palace, the performances of their disciples were almost the same as those of Phoenix Cry Palace. By the time they reached 3000 miles deep into the 18 Hells of Flame, half of their disciples had to stop because they could not resist going any further.
Then 4000 miles, 5000 miles, 6000 miles!
They quickly flew deeper. The temperature here was already more than a dozen times that of magma and the speed of the heavenly wind was more than 10 times the speed of sound. Because the wind was too strong, the wind currents created a terrifying sonic boom wherever they went. The sound of the wind passing by was like glass carved with a sword; it was grating and torturing the ears!
Even for junior disciples who made their first trip to the Fire Spirit Star and could easily withstand the surface of the heat and wind, at this depth, the, many of them were feeling wavering their protective true essence, ready to burst out like a bubble in the wind .
The peng!
The Vermillion Bird Hall's true essence high-level disciple protector was shattered and its body was sent flying backwards. His body was almost instantly wrapped in blue energy.
Lin Ming was speechless as he looked at this scene. The three great branch palaces had a total of nearly 3000 disciples here, and within the 18 Hells of Flame they were all scattered in different locations. Even so, the artifact spirit named Ruby Sovereign was actually able to divide the heavenly sense into 3000 parts, each part capable of simultaneously guarding different disciples.
Moreover, when the true essence of the protectors of these disciples were destroyed, there was probably only a thousandth of a blink of an eye before the origin energy of the heavenly wind fire struck them. But even within a short period of time, the Ruby Sovereign was able to form the blue flame energy of the Concept of Creation and use it to protect the disciples.
This power is truly shocking!
“I really don't know what limit this Ruby Sovereign has reached. "Lin Ming thought hard.
At this time, Sun Cyprestar said, “We are only 2000 miles away from reaching the second level. Everyone, bite your teeth and move on! ”
