The Ancestor Jinsha said this and handed the Jade Scroll to Gu Yuan, saying, "As for whether or not to go, that’s up to your choice."

He didn’t intend to break his promise, so he told Gu Yuan all the information he knew.

Gu Yuan took it, then sent his Divine Thought into it, and immediately knew this information, thinking that the old man indeed provided a lot of detailed intelligence, but this was also a good thing.

The more information, the more detailed, the more beneficial it naturally is for him.

"Well, I will stay here for a few days, and then leave this place."

The Ancestor Jinsha said to Gu Yuan, "In these few days, if you have any matters, you can come to me; if you don’t have the time, it’s also fine. With these things you’ve given me, I have enough confidence to escape here."

"By the way, how is your relationship with Elder Chaotic Heaven?"

At the end, the Ancestor Jinsha suddenly asked.

"I have a grudge with that Elder Chaotic Heaven, and it’s a deep-seated enmity, a fight to the death, a conflict that cannot be resolved." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Oh, by the way, these are the relics of his two disciples, Xiu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong, whom I killed previously."

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn’t hide this, as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. To prevent the other from doubting, Gu Yuan also took out some things from the Storage Pouch of Xiu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong for the other to take a look.

Seeing the belongings of Elder Chaotic Heaven’s two disciples, the Ancestor Jinsha naturally believed him, since these things couldn’t be faked, his smile became even more pronounced.

"Haha, good, since that’s the case, you should be more careful, and when you have time, you can visit my Cave Mansion as a guest."

The Ancestor Jinsha was completely relieved at this point, and took out a Jade Talisman, handing it to Gu Yuan.

Previously, he had some concerns, suspecting Gu Yuan’s identity might be questionable. But now... he no longer had any doubts.

Even because they had a common enemy, his impression of Gu Yuan greatly improved, and he felt more agreeable towards him.

Though he still couldn’t figure out Gu Yuan’s background and origins, it didn’t matter; as long as they had a common enemy, it was enough.

Gu Yuan took the Jade Talisman, glanced at the Ancestor Jinsha, and didn’t find anything strange about it.

After all, the Ancestor Jinsha was a mighty Yang Spirit, and certainly had a lot of powerful means, so it was not at all unusual to carry some things.

They chatted for a while, mainly exchanging information about Elder Chaotic Heaven.

Since the Ancestor Jinsha had been an old adversary of Elder Chaotic Heaven for many years, he was quite knowledgeable about him, and from his words, Gu Yuan learned a lot of important information about Elder Chaotic Heaven.

As for Gu Yuan, he also shared some things with the Ancestor Jinsha. Upon learning that Elder Chaotic Heaven now had little Life Span left, had suffered Dao injuries leading to a damaged source, making his Life Span even shorter, and more importantly, he lost the possibility of advancing to a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, and could only focus on his disciples, intending to cultivate eighteen Demon Dragons through the Technique "Eighteen Demon Dragons Hell Transformation" to reconstruct the Yang Spirit, the Ancestor Jinsha burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard tears came out, appearing quite manic, and said joyously, "I thought that old thing, Chaotic Heaven, had already made further progress and was close to becoming a Primordial Spirit, but it turns out he’s not much better off than I am; this is truly wonderful!"

Though he intended to seek revenge against Elder Chaotic Heaven later, he didn’t actually think he could do much against him.

After all, currently, his cultivation and strength had deteriorated significantly, while Elder Chaotic Heaven appeared unaffected.

So, he was indeed suppressing a grudge inside.

But now, knowing that Elder Chaotic Heaven was almost worse off than himself, he instantly felt relieved.

After quite some time, the Ancestor Jinsha finally calmed down, and unlike his previous weak and lethargic state, he now appeared revitalized, with a touch of Essence, Qi, and Spirit on his face, showing a completely different Status.

Gu Yuan, too, quite understood this.

Soon after, the two parted ways.

Gu Yuan found another quiet place and began to study the map and information that the Ancestor Jinsha had just given him.

When it came to the Ancestor Jinsha, he didn’t have any bad impressions; indeed, he even felt some fondness, as for the reason... the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, the old man was quite particular.

Believing that once the Ancestor Jinsha escapes in a few days, he will surely quickly recover from his injuries and cultivation and then launch a frenzied revenge against Elder Chaotic Heaven.

With this mighty Yang Spirit’s restraint and distraction, Elder Chaotic Heaven will undoubtedly be occupied with considerable effort.

At that time, if the opportunity arises, he might just lend a hand. Best if Elder Chaotic Heaven can be taken down; if not, at least he could vent his frustrations.

Right now... it’s best to get hold of the Five Elements Immortal Iron first.

A few days later, Gu Yuan arrived at a geothermal vent.

This geothermal vent looked like a well, but instead of water, it was filled with fire. To be precise, it was thick smoke mixed with sparks and flames.

This thick smoke contained some sulfur and fire toxins, with sparks and flames being the blazing geothermal fire.

Gu Yuan enveloped himself in a layer of Water Spirit Light, then leaped into the geothermal vent.

A wave of intense heat accompanied by billowing smoke rushed towards him.

The temperature was enough to rapidly redden refined iron, softening it into molten iron. But to Gu Yuan, it wasn’t much of a concern.

The Water Spirit Light on his surface didn’t even change, protecting him as he delved deep underground.

After an indeterminate time, Gu Yuan’s eyes suddenly brightened as he felt a blinding white fill the world.

He first closed his eyes and circulated his Mana to adjust, then opened his eyes again.

Looking around, he saw a sea of fire; the entire world had turned blazing white.

To be precise, it should be a sea of magma, with waves of scorching, crimson lava continuously rolling and boiling, occasionally bubbling and bursting open.

An intense heat, enough to melt gold and iron, continuously surged from all directions, starting to assault the Water Spirit Light on Gu Yuan’s surface.

Pop—

Soon, this layer of Water Spirit Light burst like a bubble, dissolving into nothingness.

Gu Yuan felt a wave of heat begin to assail his body; although his physique was strong and fearless, it was still somewhat uncomfortable.

In response, Gu Yuan condensed his Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Taiyi Golden Bell, and infused it with Mana, suspending it above his head.

The little over one foot tall Taiyi Golden Bell quickly expanded to over three feet tall, emitting layers of azure-golden treasure light, enveloping him completely within.

In an instant, a cool sensation spread throughout him, as the overwhelming heat from outside was entirely blocked off, along with a faint sense of security filling his heart.
