Pavilion Association chose Xuan Zun over Xuan Sheng is that.Zhong Xuan Sheng relied on his family's power, and with his uncle Zhong Xuan Chu Liang led the Battle of Mie Yang. After the war victory, th..."The Earth's Cave" is a very intuitive name, a cavity in the earth.

Above the floating land is the blue sky, below the floating land is the dark heavens.

The azure sky hangs high above, visible everywhere. The dark netherworld lies below, shrouded by the heavy and boundless earth, barely perceptible.

But the grotto is an exception.

No one knows how the grotto appeared, only that it connects to the ethereal heavens. The danger that all tribes on the floating land must face comes from the ethereal heavens itself.

According to legends about the floating continent, there were once many stars in the Azure Heaven. They fell from the Azure Heaven into the Netherworld during this process, piercing the earth and forming subterranean caverns. As for the Azure Heaven, it now only has one star, Tianzhu Star, due to the fall of the stars.

Let us return to the depths of the earth. The dangers from the ethereal plane are very real, and not merely imagined.

There is a saying in Fulu, "The falling of stars from the blue sky becomes a celestial general, and the rising of stars from the dark sky becomes a celestial beast."

The extended meaning is that a person's fate is predetermined at birth. But setting aside the extended meaning, it itself is an objective description.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Starbeasts are the greatest scourge of the Floating Lands.

People on land believe that stars are products of the sky, and star beasts are crystals from the Netherworld.

Whether this statement is right or wrong aside, it has indeed become a consensus.

Along the way, from Qing Hu Qi Ming's mouth, Jiang Wang also had a preliminary understanding of Di Ku. He also roughly understood why Qing Hu Qi Ming was so resistant to coming to Di Ku—his foster father, the previous shaman of the Qing Huo tribe, died in Di Ku.

Jiang Wang even specially inquired about the affiliations of those "heavenly newcomers" who came before him. He might not be able to know their names, but their characteristics were very easy to judge.

Lei Zhanyan is the leader of the first Chi Lei department of the Leibu, Li Fengyao leads the first Jing Shui department of the Shuibi, and Fang Chong leads the first Yuantu department of the Tubu.

Jiang Wuxie was then in the Jihuo Department, which ranked first among the Fire Departments.

In addition, the first iron wood master of Mu Department was an ordinary-looking man. Based solely on the description of his inscription "Qinghuo", Jiang Wang couldn't match him with the memories he had of cultivators.

But Jiang Wang's main focus was only on the top four.

He also specifically inquired about the location of the Water Purification Department, intending to contact Li Fengyao in advance. His main objective was to see if he could acquire a suitable military formation technique from him, to be used for training the Qing Huo tribe warriors. This would allow the Qing Huo tribe warriors, who were unable to use totem power, to exert extraordinary combat strength in the game of life and death. The Li family of Shimen had been renowned generals for generations, and they would certainly not lack military formations. He himself was clueless about this aspect.

The others had arrived on Fulu several days before Jiang Wang, and must have been working hard to improve the combat effectiveness of those tribal warriors in the game of life and death. Jiang Wang was only just starting to select his team now, already falling behind by a lot.

However, the inscription on his memorial tablet severely admonished him.

Due to the constraints of the covenant of kings, during the period of the Game of Life and Death, the different tribes were unable to wage war against each other.

But as the head chess player of the Qinghuo tribe, if Jiang Wang entered the territory of another tribe, he would definitely be killed at the first opportunity.

"Qing Huo's inscription repeatedly emphasized that this kind of thing would definitely happen."

Jiang Wang is not someone who doesn't listen to advice, he could only give up.

Within the territory of the Qihuo clan, the largest subterranean cave is known as Wuzhi Cave. The most elite warriors of the Qihuo clan reside here.

The location of the Wuzhi Di Ku, is about twenty miles away from the Fire Temple.

"The tribe needs a strong leader to hold the fort, and Chief Tao is too busy to come himself, so I had to lead you here," said Qing Huoqi Ming with a slightly pale face.

This statement is an empty platitude, a platitude that reveals his inner turmoil. He needs some topic to deflect the emotion.

"It looks reliable," Jiang Wang said.

Before you stands a fortress built of black stone, standing firm like a silent behemoth. It leaves no doubt in one's mind that it possesses a considerable degree of defensive capability.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Yes, very reliable. But not because of this fortress.” Qihui said, calming himself and taking a step forward.

Outside the fortress, a squad of Keighran warriors stood guard. Keighran approached them and exchanged a few words with them. Two strong warriors walked aside and turned a winch, and the fortress's heavy stone door slowly creaked open.

Yes, the gate to the fortress is on the outside. It's more like a prison than a fortress. The warriors inside don't seem to be protected; they seem to be imprisoned.

After Shimen, was a dimly lit corridor. Even though there was a brazier every few steps along the way, its end still felt distant and unclear.

Qing Huo looked at the inscription, swallowed hard and said, "Go in."

He stood still, as if intending to let Jiang Wang make the first move. This was certainly not hospitable.

>

"Have you never been here before" Jiang Wang asked.

"Before... I always waited outside."

“The shaman protected you well in the past,” Jiang Wang said, stepping into the deep passageway.

The lifespan of people in the floating land is about the same as that of ordinary humans in this world.

Actually, Jiang Wang was younger than Qing Huo Qiming. But Jiang Wang had experienced far too much.

“Don't close the door. We'll be out soon.” Before going in, Qiheng Qiming specially told the soldier guarding the gate.

But the gatekeeper just shook his head, giving the shaman no quarter.

“Are you coming in” Jiang Wang asked inside the corridor. “Otherwise, leave me a token and I’ll go down myself”

Qihui, his anger blazing like fire, glared at the warrior for a long time. But remembering Qihui's hot temper, he could only grit his teeth and walk into the passageway.

With a deafening rumble, the enormous stone door slammed shut behind him.

The long corridor, therefore, appeared even more gloomy.

The name on the pyre sent a chill down his spine. But Jiang Wang's figure was still disappearing in the distance, even his footsteps didn't falter at all. Looking back was impossible now, so he hurried after him with long strides.

“You don't know what’s in the underground cave, so you can be so calm.” Qihong found a topic to talk about: “Ignorance breeds fearlessness.”

"Perhaps." Jiang Wang said.

He made no defense, for he well understood the meaning of Qihui's words, but was merely comforting himself.

And it's also true that the ignorant fear not. If Jiang Wang knew there were dangers he couldn't handle inside, he wouldn't choose to move forward at all.

Footsteps echoed strangely in the corridor, and the flickering firelight cast dancing shadows on Qing Hu's face.

The passage is long, but it eventually comes to an end.

At the end stood a door crafted of some unknown metal, completely black. Only in the seam of the gate was a flame-shaped carving.

Jiang Wang moved aside silently.

Qing Huo pressed his hand against the metal door, the fiery mark between his brows flaring to life.

He released his hand, his voice weary: "Wait a while. The battle probably isn't over yet."

"Will there be fighting every day in there" Jiang Wang asked.

"Not necessarily. But the appearance of Star Beasts has periods of rarity and periods of high density. Generally, the closer to the start of the Life and Death Chessboard, the more frequent the arrival of Star Beasts. After the Life and Death Chessboard ends, the density drops sharply for a period of time, which is when most warriors rest."

"What kind of being is a Star Beast"

Qing Huo stared, opened his mouth as if to speak, then closed it again. He remained silent for a moment before saying: "I don't know how to describe it to you. You'll just have to see it with your own eyes."

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

This wait, has been almost a whole hour.

Jiang Wang could still wait, but Qing Huo Qiming's face was getting increasingly worse.

"I wonder what's inside." He began to mutter to himself incessantly.

The massive metal doors were pulled open from the middle with a groan.

A one-armed young man stood in the doorway, squinting at the inscription on the celebratory firecracker, but he didn't speak.

Behind him —

The flickering lights, like a long dragon, coiled in the long night.ithing on the ground suddenly opened its serpent eyes and leaped up. Its blood-red mouth gaped wide, swallowing the Underworld Candle in one gulp from behind!The blackness in its eyes had faded, and t...
