Where is Ye Tianchen going with the Old Madman Bai Xiao?

Perhaps only the Old Madman Bai Xiao knows, Ye Tianchen doesn’t. He just wants to make a bet because the only person who might help him get useful clues is this Old Madman Bai Xiao!

At the tornado checkpoint, based on the Old Madman Bai Xiao’s experience, Ye Tianchen and he passed together. Following that was the flame checkpoint; the powerful flames were overwhelming, capable of burning everything. The Old Madman Bai Xiao dared not linger and quickly passed through, and Ye Tianchen was also astonished. He didn’t expect that besides places like Flame Valley, there were places with such strong Fire Taoist power, which really surprised him!

However, just as the Old Madman Bai Xiao shattered three fire dragons with a single palm strike and burst through the Fire Domain checkpoint, Ye Tianchen had not yet escaped the flame checkpoint. He was swallowed by the great fire, and his entire body disappeared into the firelight. Everything became incredibly calm, leaving only the Old Madman Bai Xiao standing at the edge of the flame checkpoint, watching this scene with some regret!

"What a pity. I thought you were an unfathomable young man, but you still died at this second checkpoint!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao shook his head and said.

Turning around!

The Old Madman Bai Xiao was preparing to continue forward when, suddenly, there was a loud thunderous roar, and a firelight shot up into the sky, seemingly opening another path from the fire scene. At this moment, a figure completely engulfed in flames walked over from the end of this path!

"Wow, you’re still alive, kid? Could it be that you’re unwilling to die like this? You can’t blame me; I said coming with me was very dangerous, but you just wouldn’t believe it. See, now you’ve really got yourself into trouble!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao quickly said, looking at Ye Tianchen’s figure.

"Hey, Old Madman senior, can’t you think of something positive? Am I so easy to die? If my cultivation realm was only this high, would I dare to come with you?" Ye Tianchen flickered and appeared in front of the Old Madman Bai Xiao, saying somewhat sullenly.

The Old Madman Bai Xiao came to his senses and couldn’t help but look at the fiery person standing before him. Ye Tianchen was standing right in front of him, with an aura of fire surrounding him, clearly showing that countless flames were still burning on Ye Tianchen’s body. The Old Madman Bai Xiao initially thought Ye Tianchen was doomed and had charged out for a final struggle. But now, listening to Ye Tianchen, he didn’t seem heavily injured or about to be burned away!

"You’re actually okay, kid? No way, this flame power is so strong, and even with a high cultivation realm, if the physical body power is too weak..." the Old Madman Bai Xiao suddenly stopped because he was amazed to discover that some Protective Gang Qi rose from Ye Tianchen’s body. It was precisely because of the existence of these Gang Qi that these powerful flames burned outside without truly harming Ye Tianchen!

Swish!

Ye Tianchen waved his right hand, and the flames attached to his body were all shaken off. With a step, Ye Tianchen dashed out of the flame checkpoint area, no longer affected by these powerful flames!

"The temperature of these flames is indeed high, but I can still barely manage!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Impressive, indeed impressive. The strength of your physical body is unexpectedly strong, truly beyond my expectations!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"I just focused particularly on forging the physical body; there’s nothing too special about it!" Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile.

"Haha, you’re truly something, kid. It seems I may really get that item this time!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao said confidently with a smile.

"Anyway, I’m in a cooperative relationship with you, senior. As long as I help you get that item, you must seriously and truthfully answer my questions!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

"Don’t worry, I, the Old Madman, always keep my word!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao said seriously.

"Then let’s continue forward!" Ye Tianchen said.

"Don’t hurry. The wind checkpoint and flame checkpoint, I’ve been through both before. Based on what I know, next is the third checkpoint, the final one. If we pass it smoothly, we’ll be able to see that item. However, I’ve never reached this third checkpoint; I have no experience, only learned from an ancient text that it’s extremely dangerous!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao said, glancing at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly and said: "Senior, even though we’re just acquaintances, we seem to match each other’s temper well. We’ve come this far; I won’t back down. I believe you won’t back down either. Even if it’s a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, even if it’s a narrow escape, we have to try, right?"

"Hahahaha, the younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared, then let’s break into this dragon’s pool and tiger’s den!" the Old Madman Bai Xiao laughed heartily, and immediately flew ahead!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Still one after the other, the eccentric Baixiao flew at the forefront while Ye Tianchen followed closely behind. Both flew swiftly, and soon, they entered a vast, boundless area. As they rushed into this space, they involuntarily stopped, furrowing their brows with eyes full of confusion and astonishment!

"Why is this place so empty? The sky seems to have darkened!" the eccentric Baixiao couldn’t help but say.

"Something’s not right, the atmosphere feels eerie, we should be cautious!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

Behold!

After Ye Tianchen and the eccentric Baixiao passed through the Wind checkpoint and the Fire checkpoint, according to what Baixiao knew, they were about to face the third checkpoint. However, no one knew what the third checkpoint entailed, not even Baixiao. It was only when they stormed into this third checkpoint that they discovered the sky was overwhelmingly dark and gloomy, surrounded by a vast emptiness where nothing existed, as if a void devoid of any substance — a truly uncanny feeling!

In fact, the most fear-inducing and unsettling environment is precisely one that is elusive and devoid of anything, for who knows what might appear or what kind of ghostly happenings might occur!

"What do you see ahead?" Baixiao suddenly pointed ahead and asked.

"Hmm, looks like columns towering into the sky, one, two, three... there’s a total of nine of them!" Ye Tianchen said in surprise.

Suddenly, while Ye Tianchen and Baixiao felt strange, unsure of where they’d ventured to, nine towering columns appeared on the open and dim ground ahead, all completely black, standing silently as though waiting for someone to approach. Ye Tianchen glanced at them and counted exactly nine columns!

No one anticipated such a sight, nine columns reaching into the sky, standing quietly as though they had waited a long time for someone to come close. Ye Tianchen and Baixiao exchanged a glance, saying nothing, and slowly flew toward the nine columns with Qi Manipulation Flight.

"It’s truly eerie, nine columns are not just for show, we must be cautious!" Baixiao said aloud.

"Indeed, let’s be prepared for anything; since it’s the last checkpoint, it should be much stronger than the Wind and Fire checkpoints!" Ye Tianchen nodded in agreement.

Gradually, Ye Tianchen and Baixiao flew to the front of the nine columns. As Ye Tianchen touched one of the columns, a cold sensation ran through him, making his heart jolt, and he said to Baixiao: "This column isn’t made of stone, it feels like iron!"

"Iron? Could it be Black Gold Mysterious Iron?" Baixiao also asked in surprise.

"Senior, come take a look..." Ye Tianchen remarked.

Baixiao hurriedly flew to Ye Tianchen’s position, and upon reaching the column he touched, furrowed his brows and struck it with his palm!

Clang!

A clear sound echoed; the struck column didn’t move an inch, yet it emitted a sound as if striking metal, causing Baixiao to furrow his brows tightly in amazement and say: "It really is Black Gold Mysterious Iron! Who would use Black Gold Mysterious Iron to construct such nine columns here? What’s the purpose behind this?"

"What exactly is Black Gold Mysterious Iron?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but ask.

"In the Martial Arts World, Black Gold Mysterious Iron isn’t an exceptionally rare Treasure material, yet forging such nine pillars of Black Gold Mysterious Iron is indeed no small feat. Even gathering the raw materials would be difficult!" Baixiao said, frowning.

"I’m just pondering why such nine Black Gold Mysterious Iron columns were forged here? What’s their purpose? Do these iron columns relate to the third checkpoint?" Ye Tianchen contemplated, touching the Black Gold Mysterious Iron column.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...

A succession of nine buzzing sounds resonated just as Ye Tianchen finished speaking. The Black Gold Mysterious Iron column he touched lit up as if the entire column was illuminated, alarming Ye Tianchen and Baixiao who immediately stepped back. As they retreated, the surrounding nine Black Gold Mysterious Iron columns also lit up, continuously trembling as if some powerful force was about to be unleashed!

"This isn’t good, some Formation must have been activated. These nine Black Gold Mysterious Iron columns constitute the Treasure for this Formation. Let’s hurry!" Baixiao immediately shouted.

"We must rush out before the power of these nine Black Gold Mysterious Iron columns is released..." Ye Tianchen also hurriedly said. (To be continued.
