“When have I never been serious? I’ve always been serious, never said nonsense,” Ciel replied which of course made Isla and Mu Yueli’s lips twitch as they assumed he kept talking nonsense.
“Let’s go, don’t linger here,” he added.
Isla and Mu Yueli looked at each other again, the latter slightly nodding to the former, as if she was saying that just do what he wanted.
After that, Isla began to steer the ark towards the center of the continent.
Rumble!
The movement of the ark shook space and land.
However, people couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief as they watched them leave.
Seeing the people from the Ice Palace was indeed an amazing experience, but it was also extremely nerve-wracking, as if the grim reaper was already beside them.
To go to the center of the continent, the ark only took a few minutes.
It easily passed through the huge forests surrounding the volcano.
There, Jian Wuxin and the old woman Elder Meng were standing on the side of the volcano’s crater, looking at the lava within.
Seeing the arrival of the Ice Palace ark, they couldn’t help but knit their brows.
“Why are they here?” Jian Wuxin wondered.
Although she wasn’t afraid of them, she didn’t want her business interrupted.
Right after that, Elder Meng said, “they are also moving.”
What she meant was obviously Isla and Mu Yueli.
Sure enough, when Ciel and the others descended from the ark, the two middle-aged women followed behind them.
It didn’t take them long to arrive beside the crater, more precisely beside Jian Wuxin and Elder Meng.
The latter looked at Isla and asked, “what do you want to do here, Isla?”
“What about you, Elder Meng?” Isla asked back.
The two women squinted, as if they wanted to fight over a treasure.
“We’re here for the Holy Spirit Flame, I hope our goals aren’t the same.” Cial finally spoke.
When she heard that, Jian Wuxin immediately replied, “how are you going to get that Flame?”
Her expression looked dubious when she said that.
However, it also made Ciel understand that their goals were not the same.
“That’s not difficult for me,” he replied with a confident smile.
“Since I’ve already said my goal, so can you say yours, Miss Jian?” Ciel continued with the question.
Unfortunately, Jian Wuxin replied with a soft snort. “None of your business, you mind your own business!”
“Omg, you’re too cold, miss…” Ciel wasn’t angry, he just laughed after hearing her reply.
Elder Ming observed Ciel after she heard him say that it wasn’t difficult for him.
She wondered if that was true.
After that, she glanced at Isla and Mu Yueli who did indeed seem like they were following Ciel’s wishes. 𝒪𝓋𝑙xt.𝗰𝑶𝐌
Then, she shook her head, throwing away her thoughts before saying to Jian Wuxin. “Miss, let’s go.”
“Mm!” Jian Wuxin nodded.
Her aura radiated, coating her body from head to toe.
Together with Elder Ming, she jumped into the crater and then dived into the lava lake within the crater.
Their auras disappeared very quickly.
Ciel looked at Isla and Mu Yueli as he said, “come on, but just us, the others wait here.”
Ciel looked at Mu Yixue and the others after saying that.
They nodded in response, as if there was an instinct to obey him.
Right after that, Ciel saw Isla point her finger at him. Ice energy flowed from there, enveloping his body and it then turned into an ice armor.
It was very light and did not make Ciel feel cold, but at the same time, Ciel felt a very safe sensation, as if he would be fine even if he went to hell.
As he observed the ice armor with his Eyes of Heaven, he found that it was very structured. Isla obviously spent a lot of energy to make it even though on the surface she did it casually.
Perhaps she was also worried about something bad happening to him so the Ice Goddess was angry.
Ciel smiled slightly before jumping into the crater.
Whoosh!
His speed also increased due to the presence of the ice armor. It didn’t take him long to arrive right in front of the lava.
There, he stopped briefly to make sure everything was safe.
Only when he felt no heat at all did he dive into the lava.
In front of him, everything was completely dark, like a night without light.
However, as his eyes looked around, the scene quickly became very clear.
Ciel found many bones around him, from the bones of beasts to humans.
Some still emitted an extraordinary aura, which meant the owner of those bones was quite a powerful expert.
Whoosh!
Isla suddenly sent an ice spear forward, splitting the lava to create a path.
Far below, surprisingly enough, was a hidden crypt, seemingly vast and full of light.
The curious Ciel didn’t use the power of his eyes further, he flew there instead.
When he finally arrived there, his mouth opened slightly at the sight that shocked him.
Below, he saw a boundless land mass, so vast, it was probably as wide as the continent above.
And that land was filled with flames that were transparent in color. It was precisely because it was transparent that the land could be seen.
Occasionally, there were explosions in those transparent flames, releasing shockwaves so powerful and hot that space seemed to be on fire.
Looking at those flames without using the power of the Eyes of Heaven made Ciel feel a stinging sensation in his eyes so that even his tears dripped out.
“Mm, it’s strange that the continent above isn’t burning with the Holy Spirit Flame below it,” Mu Yueli said suddenly.
When she heard that, Isla narrowed her eyes, looked around, but failed to find anything.
“There must be something that protects the continent or rather it makes the forces here not affect things outside so much,” she said.
“Maybe they know that.”
She stared at the specific area within the flame where Jian Wuxin and Elder Meng stood.
Ciel did not care about them now as he began to make observations with the power of his eyes.
Since the Flame was transparent in color, so the Core was even more transparent that it was almost invisible.
Plus, the Core of the Holy Flame was always small, which was why it was so difficult to find it in such a vast place.
However, the true ability of the Eyes of Heaven was to see everything including hidden things.
When he activated the power of the eyes further, various things that should have been invisible began to appear, such as various kinds of tiny fire insects.
They were clearly visible to his eyes.
And it didn’t take him long to find something that stood out.
It was like a diamond, just the size of a handheld.
What was interesting about it was its aura of extreme heat, as if it was the source of all heat.
