Blue flames burn beneath us, a vast pit yawning at our feet. There is no sensation of heat, yet I know these flames are deadly—step in, and your body would dissolve in an instant.
"Just leave it here. No one knows how many years these flames have been burning."
I nodded and took out a piece of Blood Jade, its surface compressed by my own power, with a few tricks added by the Blueflame Warden. The Blood Jade is now shrouded in powerful illusion energy, naturally absorbing external illusion power to suppress the ghostly spirit within. For now, the Ghost Ancestor can't escape, and if anything happens, I'll sense it immediately.
At the slightest sign of disturbance, I'll rush over. The flames of the Icefire Cavern possess a unique property—they contain the power of Yin. Normally, fire belongs to Yang, but these flames have somehow become infused with pure Yin. When the Blueflame Warden created his own illusion realm, these flames didn't exist, but when he regained consciousness, the Icefire Cavern was already here.
The flames here have been accumulating for countless years, and even the Blueflame Warden can't control them. He used to come here to train. Now, I still need to find at least three more places to store the Blood Jade. I asked the Nine-Tailed Fox, but she said there's nowhere special in her illusion realm to keep it.
There's still a piece of Blood Jade in Mother Goddess Nuwa's illusion realm. Eugenia also said her illusion realm isn't suitable; it's best to keep searching, but of course, only with the owner's permission.
"Let's go. We'll head into the woods, find something to eat, and I'll cook something good for you."
Soon, we reached the edge of the Icefire Cavern. The forest here swarmed with strange and bizarre beasts. The Blueflame Warden, Eugenia, and the Nine-Tailed Fox split up to hunt them, while I used my mind to conjure a large stove. I'm grateful to them—for staying by my side and helping me through these days. I decided to make them a proper meal.
After we eat, I plan to seek out the Celestial Hound. It's my only lead—maybe he can help me recover my lost memories.
