It’s important to remember that they were cultivators.
By the time they reached the Golden Core stage, they rarely felt the cold or heat.
The ice and snow of winter and the blazing sun of summer couldn’t penetrate their spiritual energy defenses.
"The temperature is rising more and more. What’s going on?" Another disciple wiped the sweat from his forehead, watching it drip down the side of his face.
"Renshu Chang, what’s going on? Why did the temperature in the cave suddenly get so high?" Senior Brother Cao asked as he approached Renshu Chang while wiping the sweat from his brow.
The other disciples, who had slightly lower cultivation levels, were already sweating like they had just been pulled out of water.
Renshu Chang, with his higher cultivation level, was the least affected among them, but even so, he still felt the intense heat.
If he was struggling, the others were surely having a harder time than him.
Seeing them all drenched in sweat, Renshu Chang glanced towards the small cave inside, "It’s probably something that our junior master uncle and martial aunt are doing. Try to endure it, or if it’s too much, head to the entrance."
No one moved.
Despite the heat, they had all endured worse during their cultivation, so they decided to endure it.
Renshu Chang looked towards the small cave again.
This kind of heat didn’t seem like it was from an ordinary flame.
The disciples outside were reacting so strongly, so the temperature inside must have been even more intense.
He wondered what exactly they were doing in there.
It reminded him of something, though he had never seen Amalia’s process of refining before.
He knew that most original flames wouldn’t cause such a strong reaction.
The intense heat didn’t last long.
Just as the disciples were reaching their limits, the scorching temperature suddenly vanished.
The cave quickly returned to its original cool state, and everyone felt refreshed.
"Where did the heat go?" they whispered to each other.
They had realized that the heat had come from the small cave where their junior master uncle and martial aunt were.
"Maybe Martial Aunt was refining something. I heard Martial Aunt is a skilled artificer. She’s so powerful and can refine an artifact as well," Vincent Tan said admiringly.
"Martial Aunt is an Artificer?" This news surprised everyone.
They only knew that Amalia was the disciple of Senior Tian Wuya; they hadn’t known anything else.
"Of course," Vincent Tan said proudly as if it was his own accomplishment.
Ding Huiqing was speechless.
How long had it been, and already this fool, Vincent Tan, had been completely won over?
That Amalia, wasn’t she just a bit stronger, an Artificer, and a little more beautiful than others?
The group was chatting enthusiastically, completely forgetting about their cultivation.
Only Renshu Chang looked worriedly towards the small cave.
The speed of the events didn’t seem like it was just refining an artifact, but he didn’t dare go in and disturb them, so he could only wait silently.
The cave’s temperature returned to normal because Amalia had absorbed the released Solarian flames into her dantian, immediately using her own original fire to envelop the tiny Solarian flames.
At this point, things were beyond her control.
Solarian flames is an extremely intense and destructive flames, and refining them into something usable is not a simple process.
It was more painful than when Amalia practiced the True Sun Spirit Method or used the Heaven’s Cataclysmic Blade because the Solarian flames constantly scorched her dantian, one of the most fragile parts of the human body.
The moment the Solarian flames entered her body, Amalia’s face contorted in pain, and she collapsed to the ground.
The veins on the back of her hands bulged, and her skin turned increasingly red, like a beast losing all sense of reason.
Kenny Lin watched this scene, his expression growing darker, his oppressive aura spreading outward.
Outside the small cave, everyone felt the heavy pressure coming from inside, and they were all on edge.
"Renshu Chang, should we go in and see what’s happening?" Senior Brother Cao asked while looking at Renshu Chang, who was frowning deeply.
"Alright, I’ll take a look."
Renshu Chang was also worried.
He approached the entrance of the small cave, but before he could speak, Kenny Lin’s cold voice came from inside, "Don’t come in. Everything is fine."
It was then that Renshu Chang noticed a faint, suppressed sound of pain coming from within the cave.
Although his curiosity was almost overwhelming, since his Junior Master Uncle had said not to enter, he could only sigh and step back to rejoin the others.
"How is it?" everyone asked eagerly.
Renshu Chang didn’t want them to worry as much as he was, "It’s nothing, they’re just cultivating. Let’s keep our voices down and not disturb them to avoid any mishaps."
"Oh, that’s what it was."
The group immediately believed him.
Outside the Double Cavern Secret Realm, a young devil, who had barely escaped with his life, was quickly brought before the Lord of Night Sorrow City after leaving the secret realm early.
The young devil, who had rarely encountered such a powerful figure, nearly collapsed in fear when he saw the terrifying and grim face of the Lord of Night Sorrow City.
He was barely able to stand, thanks to the support of an older devil who accompanied him.
"Don’t worry, just be honest and tell the Lord of Night Sorrow City everything that happened in the secret realm. The Lord won’t harm you. By the way, do you have anything that belonged to Aarzostes?" The middle-aged devil, who was the young devil’s elder, was shocked to realize that his younger relative was connected to the death of Aarzostes.
The young devil trembled as he met the Lord’s chilling gaze.
"Tell me, who killed Aarzostes?" The Lord’s expression was terrifying.
The young devil lowered his head and said, "I don’t know who killed Aarzostes. When we passed by, we found them already dead. Aarzostes and those devils who protected him were all dead."
