Chapter 940: Chapter 939: Yin Yang Heart Flame

Just as Yusuf Zuck decided to wander around, suddenly, a surge of energy fluctuation came fiercely from the entrance behind him.

Yusuf narrowed his eyes and then instantly disappeared by becoming invisible.

While he was becoming invisible, a person appeared out of thin air at the entrance—a boy around sixteen or seventeen, his face bearing a look of lonely coldness.

"Another one from a higher plane!" Yusuf immediately confirmed that this boy must be with those other seven, as they all possessed the same kind of Saintly Power.

After entering, the boy also squinted scanning around, then took out a sphere-shaped crystal ball, and flicked the crystal lightly, upon which images of those previous seven youths appeared on it.

"Whoosh!" He grabbed the crystal ball and hastily moved toward the front left, his speed so fast it was as if he didn’t touch the ground.

Yusuf, still invisible and worried about where to go or getting lost, followed the boy quickly as he dashed toward the front left.

About two hours later, the youth holding the crystal ball caught up with the previous seven!

"Jeffrey, you’re here!" the seven youths greeted Jeffrey Shepherd enthusiastically, except for Gianna Butler, who did not.

The youth named Jeffrey nodded at the others then ran to Gianna’s side, his face full of caution, "Gianna, are you still mad at me...

"Shut up, from now on, I have nothing to do with you," Gianna said stubbornly, turning her head and then quickly running forward.

Jeffrey took a deep breath and shook his head with a rueful smile, "Let’s continue on our way, everybody. It’s not easy for us to come to the Lower Realm, so let’s see what fortune brings us this time."

"Jeffrey’s right, let’s each see what fate has in store." Wynter Snow said.

"Let’s go, we need to hurry," as the group briefly spoke, they continued following the path Gianna had taken.

Unable to fly, they could only move forward by running.

Meanwhile, as Yusuf secretly followed them, he also strangely discovered some Sky Reaching Ancient Trees growing amid the clouds and even came across layers of mountain ranges.

This place must be a mystical realm; however, it was shrouded in fog, so the true form was obscure, allowing visibility of only about a hundred meters.

After a day of travel, the group of eight came upon a river covered in almost a half-meter-high fog, but by waving the fog away, they could see the clear river water, including small pebbles and fish.

The eight youths played in the river for half the day, and Yusuf noted that the group appeared to comprise four pairs; Gianna Butler and Jeffrey Shepherd were one pair with some discord between them, as Gianna wasn’t responding to him, and Callie Miller and Wynter Snow appeared much closer, almost inseparable.

The other two pairs were alike.

After catching fish and consuming their packed wine, they simply had a meal and continued walking upstream.

And that journey lasted for eleven days. It seemed that only after eleven days did they reach their destination, and Yusuf, who had been following them, also glimpsed the vaguely visible waterfall ahead.

The river flowed from this waterfall cascading down.

"This is the mountain," announced Jeffrey Shepherd, who subtly took the lead of the eight, and after tracking for over ten days, Yusuf Zuck had figured out that Jeffrey came from a significant background, a second son of the Shepherd Family. His squabble with Gianna Butler wasn’t really because of him but due to his family’s issues.

"This is the ’Heaven Mist Mountain’ of Blue Sea and Cloud Sky," Jeffrey continued, "Atop Heaven Mist Mountain there lies a Yin Yang Lake, and according to the latest intelligence, within the lake resides the Strange Fire ’Yin Yang Heart Flame’. We should part ways here, as the Yin Yang Heart Flame, a celestial strange fire, belongs to whoever obtains it first."

"Of course, we also need to be cautious of others here."

"Why waste words? Humph!" With a cold snort, Gianna Butler began climbing towards the summit, agile as a Spirit Monkey.

"Let’s go, good luck everyone," Wynter Snow and others like Callie Miller said to each other with a bow, then hastily made their way towards the summit from different directions.

Jeffrey Shepherd was the last one to start climbing, and he followed behind Gianna Butler as if he feared she would fall.

At that moment, Yusuf Zuck was shocked to learn about the presence of the Yin Yang Heart Flame here. The sixth type of the True Flames listed in his Book of Flame Fire was the Yin Yang Heart Flame, corresponding to the Divine Skill ’Absorb Yang Swallow Yin Technique’.

This ’Absorb Yang Swallow Yin Technique’ was extremely overbearing and formidable, ranking sixth among the nine True Flames; hence, it was noted that this technique could overcome all the yin and yang in the world, turning them usable for oneself.

The so-called Absorb Yang Swallow Yin meant that, upon obtaining the Yin Yang True Flame, one could instantly extract and transform the yin and yang from any object or entity into one’s own power.

Everything in the world is divided into yin and yang; the sky is yang, the earth is yin, male is yang, female is yin, sun is yang, the moon is yin, fire is yang, water is yin, and so on—even rocks and trees have their yin and yang sides, making yin and yang the universe’s supreme poles. In some books, yin and yang are also referred to as the ultimate poles, which give birth to Taiji, and Taiji is chaos!

Of course, these profound truths were beyond Yusuf’s comprehension; he simply knew that once mastered, the Absorb Yang Swallow Yin Technique could significantly enhance his powers, even accelerating his training progress phenomenally.

"It’s just that my avatar didn’t sense it; could it be that only my true form can sense the Strange Fire?" Yusuf frowned curiously, his true form not present.

However, time was limited, and he couldn’t afford to ponder too much, so he too began scaling the mountain, climbing at a slow pace, always behind Jeffrey Shepherd and Gianna Butler.

Heaven Mist Mountain was incredibly high, so high that it took Yusuf three days to reach the summit.

The summit was neither flat nor rugged, unlike any other summit he had imagined or seen, as it turned out to be a vast lake, somewhat like the Heaven Lake on Changbai Mountain commonly seen in the mortal world. The lake was large, covered in mist, preventing him from discerning its actual size.

"Plop—plop—" While Yusuf stood dazed at the summit, eight youths jumped into the lake from different directions, vanishing in an instant.

"Hmm, inside this lake? Then I’m going in too." After carefully ensuring no one was around, Yusuf silently and cautiously submerged himself into the lake waters.

The moment his body was fully concealed by the lake, his body in Spirit City suddenly opened its eyes because the Book of Flame Fire within his mind had finally reacted, unfolding rapidly and joyously guiding him downward!

"Indeed, there’s a Strange Fire, the Yin Yang Heart Flame!" Yusuf’s heart pounded with excitement; he had to secure it before anyone else did.

"Hmm, it seems only my true form can capture the Yin Yang Heart Flame, but there’s no rush, I can summon the true form through my avatar anytime!" Yusuf took a deep breath, able to communicate between his avatar and true form in spirit and thought.

However, shortly after he began descending, sudden cracking noises erupted from beneath the lake, causing the water to ripple violently.

"Someone’s fighting below!" Yusuf’s body shuddered, realizing that the fight involved either demons or saints from the other great tribes, or perhaps Ruth Wilcox and Lily Case.

"Speed up, speed up!" The thought that Ruth and Lily could also be at the bottom of the lake spurred Yusuf to cast aside any concerns about revealing himself; his body spun, darting downward like a Needlefish.
