Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1281 Ember Caverns, Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast

1281 Ember Caverns, Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast

"I promise we will do our best to keep this information a secret. Even if it is revealed in the end, we will do our best to convince the others in the Floating Frost Valley that you are not related to the calamity we experienced thousands of years ago."

The other White Winged Gryphons swiftly nodded in agreement with ly'yra's words.

"Okay," Orion nodded.

Iy'yra sighed in relief inwardly. Although she had been honest, she knew that it meant nothing for Orion and his group. So what if they chose to reveal this information themselves? That the group currently helping them reclaim their territory possessed a similar unique ability to the individuals who were said to be the cause of their misfortune in the first place?

Wouldn't that be like intentionally making Orion and his group their enemies, pushing them to unite with the Celestial Spirit Court since they now had a common foe?

Even without the Celestial Spirit Court's aid, Orion's group could reenact the same destruction as the calamity that descended on them thousands of years ago, and they wouldn't be able to stop it. Wouldn't it be foolish to make enemies of such an overwhelming force while they were in a dire situation?

Besides, the group hadn't done anything to be branded as enemies, so it was useless to think too far ahead.

Iy'yra and the rest of the White Winged Gryphons swiftly soared in a particular direction.

They arrived at their destination swiftly.

An immense active volcano stood in a part of the Floating Frost Valley. Streams of lava spilt from the peak down to the base, forming a pool of magma around it. Surrounding the volcano were countless vents of varying sizes, shooting out hot water vapours at irregular intervals.

Due to the heat of the volcanic land, the frozen plains surrounding it had melted into vapour and mist, shrouding the region in a thick fog.

The group dove into one of the larger vents. Although their bodies could withstand the hot vapours, they used their Divine power just in case they encountered anything unexpected.

Soon, they emerged from the other side of the vent.

Before them lay an immense underground molten magma river with countless cavern networks.

"The Spiritual Energy here is dense. It doesn't align with my nature, so I could be harmed if we go any deeper," Iy'yra said.

As a White Winged Gryphon, her nature was aligned with wind, water and ice. Staying in such a dense, scorching environment for too long would put her at a disadvantage and possibly cause her injury.

Orion nodded in understanding. If they were in the Material Realm, they could scan the entire underground cavern network with their divine senses, but here in the Spirit Realm, their senses were limited. He suspected it had something to do with the density of the Spiritual Energy in each environment.

This was the most potent place he had ever experienced.

"What is this place?" Orion asked, frowning.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, this place wasn't called the Floating Frost Valley. It used to be known as Flaming Mountain Valley. Only after a phenomenon occurred, where the land was frozen and the environment. suspended above the ground, never touching the frozen earth, was it renamed the Floating Frost. Valley."

"Several parts of the region weren't frozen and have been accumulating Spiritual Energy for a long time. Even Spirit Beasts with fire attributes can be harmed here if they don't possess enough strength to handle it," ly'yra responded. "Sometime in the future, we suspect it will revert back to Flaming Mountain Valley, or something new and unexpected may happen. If that's the case, we'll have to migrate to a new home or force ourselves to adapt."

"Transformations like this are natural phenomena in the Spirit Realm, so it's not something we are worried about. What we are concerned about is whether the environment will ever undergo another transformation. That would mean the Spiritual Energy in the environment would keep accumulating until it becomes too fierce for us to reside in," ly'yra added.

"In that case, we would be forced to move, especially for the sake of the newborn offspring. Such a place would become a habitat for powerful Spirit Beasts, as no one would dare journey into it. This is how we navigate through the Spirit Realm, knowing where to enter and where to avoid."

Orion nodded, realizing that the phenomenon that transformed the territory wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He also understood why this was the last place the Aristocrat Spirit Beast had been seen. This information intrigued him, as it meant that locating the residence of weak or powerful Spirit Beasts wasn't as tricky as he initially thought.

"If that's the case, let's call them out from here. If they are present, they will surely come out after sensing our presence," Orion said.

Iy'yra nodded in understanding. She took a deep breath and shouted, "I am Iy'yra of the White Winged Gryphon Tribe! I have come here with the group that eliminated the Celestial Spirit Court forces and pushed back their influence within the Floating Frost Valley to speak with you, the Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast! Reveal yourself!" Her voice echoed across the pool of molten magma and resonated within the caverns.

There was no response after several minutes.

Iy'yra announced their presence once more, but again, they received no

response.

"I think the Aristocrat Spirit Beast must have already fled the Floating Frost Valley and hasn't returned since then," Iy'yra said.

It made sense.

The region was previously conquered by the Celestial Spirit Court, so it would be too restrictive for a Spirit Beast such rank to remain here and risk conflict.

"Then let's use another method," Orion responded.

He gestured toward Fifi to step forward.

Fifi moved from her position and soared toward the streams of scorching

molten magma.

Iy'yra and the other White Winged Gryphons observed her actions closely, wondering what she intended to do.

Fifi halted above the streams of molten magma, her feet almost dipping into it. With a thought, a crystallized snowflake formed on the tip of her right index finger, and she shot it into the stream of molten magma.

Instantly, the molten magma froze, transforming into an icy blue sculpture. The frost continued to spread, reaching deep into the underground cavern network surrounding them. It didn't stop there; the ice crawled up the molten earthen walls, freezing everything in its path.

In moments, the entire underground was encased in ice.

"They'll be forced to come out now," Orion said.

Suddenly, the entire underground network began to shake violently.

"There," Orion pointed toward one of the caverns where the sound was coming

from.

Fifi soared in that direction.

Iy'yra nodded and swiftly followed behind.

The others followed close by.

It only took them a moment to grasp what they were trying to do.

As they ventured deeper into the cavern, the sounds grew louder. Soon, they arrived on the other side of the cavern. Before them was a vast, frozen plain that shook violently, with chunks of frozen magma rising to the surface and cracks spider-webbing across the icy ground.

The cavern walls were lined with immense cave openings, and behind them lay the passage they had just emerged from.

"There's something down here," Orion said, narrowing his eyes at the centre of

the cracked, icy plain.

"I can sense it too; it's something dwelling within. It's probably the Aristocrat- ranked Spirit Beast," Fifi responded, her arms folded as she hovered above the

trembling frozen magma.

This explained why the Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast had been so difficult to locate. It had been hiding deep underground beneath the pool of molten magma. However, Fifi hadn't frozen the area too powerfully-if she had, it would have been impossible for the Spirit Beast to break free.

"An Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast..." Iy'yra gulped, fear overtaking her for a moment. But just as quickly as it came, the fear faded when she remembered

she wasn't alone.

Yes, she was here with a group of divine beings. What was there to fear from an Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast? Although she knew that Spirit Beasts at this rank would eventually step into the realm of the Divines at their latter stages, she still held hope that Orion and the others could suppress it.

If they couldn't, they would all die here because such a powerful beast indeed

wouldn't allow them to leave easily after disturbing its home and directly

confronting it.

The other White Winged Gryphons were also slightly shaken and could only

hope that Orion and the others would emerge victorious in the confrontation against the Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beast.

The cracks grew larger, and the chunks of ice exploding to the surface became even bigger. Then, in an instant, a massive explosion erupted from the cracked area, revealing a massive hole in the icy plain.

Pools of magma surged from the hole, spilling onto the frozen plain and melting it away.

A heavy scorching fog rose from the magma, scattering into the surroundings.
