151: Master, stay here, Lolo will accompany you in dual cultivation!

"Luo Luo, who are all these people?"

Su Yang quietly asked Luo Luo.

Crimson Phoenix also curiously perked up her ears.

Luo Luo replied, "As Master can see, these people are Cultivators from the Myriad Spirits Realm whose cultivation has reached the Undergoing Tribulation Realm."

"These people come from various backgrounds. Most are from the Eight Great Sects, some are from other smaller Sects, and there are powerful Loose Cultivators, as well as some special, powerful life forms."

Su Yang frowned slightly.

Seeing his confusion, Luo Luo explained, "For example, when a Grand Elder of one of the Eight Great Sects successfully makes a Breakthrough to the Undergoing Tribulation Realm, Sword Master and I will go and bring them here to continue Cultivating."

"Of course, whenever someone in the Myriad Spirits Realm is about to make a Breakthrough to the Undergoing Tribulation Realm, the two of us also provide a little help in secret."

Su Yang said, "Are you saying that you and Sword Master are helping more people in the Myriad Spirits Realm enter the Undergoing Tribulation Realm!?"

"That's right."

Luo Luo nodded and added, "Sword Master said this is something you instructed him to do. For the thirty thousand years since he separated from Master, Sword Master has been completing Master's mission, striving to help more people reach higher Realms."

"I instructed this...!?"

Su Yang was stunned.

Luo Luo nodded, "That's right, Sword Master said this was a task Master assigned. However, I asked Sword Master what Master needed these people for, but he refused to tell me. So... if Master wants to ask me why we brought these people here, I don't know either."

Crimson Phoenix said with a serious expression, "Perhaps it is related to the other force you mentioned."

Su Yang nodded.

This is the only possibility he could think of right now.

Assuming he truly is the Eternal Immortal Emperor, then before His self-sacrifice, He must have already planned some things.

For example, these experts at the Wangxian Hall might be part of a certain plan.

"What do you mean by the other force?"

Luo Luo asked curiously.

Su Yang shrugged, "I want to know too. That's why Crimson Phoenix and I came to the Wangxian Hall this time—to ask Sword Master if he knows what happened to my memory."

"Ah? So Master came to ask about this."

"Listening to you, does that mean Sword Master actually knows?"

Su Yang rejoiced inwardly.

Luo Luo shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't heard Sword Master mention it. What I meant was, Master, your timing is really unfortunate. Sword Master probably can't answer your questions right now."

"Why?"

Su Yang and Crimson Phoenix asked in unison.

Luo Luo explained:

She explained, "A while ago, Sword Master sensed Master's return and realized Master would come looking for him soon, so he entered the underground lava for self-tempering to repair thirty thousand years of wear and tear. He said he wanted to appear before Master in his strongest form."

Su Yang's heart sank. "Can you take me to see him?"

"Of course!"

Luo Luo pulled Su Yang to a stone chamber, and the heavy stone slab automatically opened.

The three followed the stone steps all the way down.

As the temperature continuously rose, they gradually arrived deep underground.

Terrifyingly hot dark red lava rolled here, and scorching Qi waves constantly baked everything around them.

Even Su Yang, who had experienced the Yellow Springs Desert, couldn't help but marvel at the heat here.

Crimson Phoenix's small face was already scorched red the moment she came down.

The lava here was not ordinary lava.

Instead, it was formed by the aggregation of fire-attribute Spiritual Qi underground, which was so dense that it reached the critical point between liquid and solid, thus forming this special lava-like state.

Therefore, the temperature of this lava was far higher than that of ordinary lava.

However, Su Yang now possessed an Innate Fire Spiritual Root, and his resistance to heat was already extraordinary. Even such high temperatures did not affect him much.

"It's so hot~~~ I can't take it..."

Crimson Phoenix fanned her little face with her small hand, but the wind itself was hot, making it hotter the more she fanned.

She simply transformed into a streak of spiritual light and burrowed into Su Yang's body to hide.

"You really are useless."

Luo Luo complained, and then curiously asked, "Master, how can she burrow into your body? Did she undergo Rebirth as your roundworm?"

Su Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This girl's ability to insult people seemed even stronger than Wen Yunyao's.

"You're the one who underwent Rebirth as a roundworm!!!"

Crimson Phoenix, who had just burrowed into Su Yang's body, reappeared, shouting angrily.

Luo Luo immediately went up and pinched her chubby little cheek. "You're still unconvinced, huh? What is it if not a roundworm, burrowing in and out!"

Su Yang interrupted their argument and said seriously, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. How long will it take for Sword Master to complete his tempering?"

Luo Luo shook her head, "I don't know that either. This is the first time I've known Sword Master could self-temper, and he didn't tell me how long it would take to finish. I estimate Sword Master Himself didn't expect Master to come looking for us so soon."

This... Su Yang felt depressed.

Looking at the underground lava, he could clearly feel a familiar power deep within the molten expanse.

This power was vast as the sea of stars, and its sharp aura faintly carried a cutting edge capable of slicing through the firmament.

This power deep within the lava was vigorously breathing the scorching Spiritual Qi from the lava, and every breath stirred the energy tides of the entire geothermal lava.

This feeling was somewhat similar to when he obtained the divine sword in the Burial Immortal Valley, yet fundamentally different.

The divine sword from the Burial Immortal Valley felt more like an external partner.

But the power deep within the lava felt more like an extension of his body, another component of his body bearing the imprint of his Soul!

"Sword Master is right below."

Luo Luo pointed at the rolling lava, a hint of helplessness in her voice. "I can only sense that Sword Master's aura is growing stronger and stronger, but I truly don't know when He will completely finish His tempering."

Su Yang stared downwards. This unique feeling made him absolutely certain that this Sword Master had an extraordinary connection with him, and was highly likely His Innate divine sword.

Since He was returning to His Peak, it was impossible to make Him stop halfway now.

Su Yang took a deep breath and comforted Luo Luo, "If you don't know, forget about it; you don't need to blame yourself. Since Sword Master made preparations in advance, He probably won't make me wait too long. I'll just wait until Sword Master completes His tempering."

"Really? Hehe, great, great! I'll wait with Master!"

Luo Luo was overjoyed upon hearing this, hugging Su Yang's arm and hopping around.

The terrifying high temperature here had no effect on her at all.

Only now did Su Yang realize that ever since he first met Luo Luo in the forest, he still couldn't completely gauge how strong this girl's power was or what Realm level she was at.

This girl... was probably not just generally strong, but exceptionally strong!

As Su Yang was thinking, Crimson Phoenix suddenly spoke to Luo Luo, "Su Yang needs to go back and Cultivate; he won't just wait aimlessly here with you."

"Go back?"

Luo Luo hurriedly said, "The Spiritual Qi here is extremely abundant, much stronger than the Spiritual Veins chosen by those Sects. If Master wants to Cultivate, he can stay and Cultivate here; the effect will be better than anywhere else."

As Luo Luo spoke, she thought of something that happened earlier, pursed her lips, and said with a hint of shyness, "I heard Master is now practicing the method of Dual Cultivation. If you stay here, Luo Luo can Cultivate with you."
