Two balls of flames hit the stone gate crystal at the same time. This time the crystal light came up longer than last time, but it did not increase much. We tried several times and the same situation was the case. Even if we kept replenishing the flames, we couldn't let the stone gate open.

I realized the rules. This crystal may measure the strength of the purgatory fire, which means testing whether your magic tricks have passed. But we only practiced for less than two days, so it was unrealistic to open the stone gate. So I thought of a way to go to the underworld, where time passes much slower than the world. I will practice hard there for five or six days before coming back.

We found Duan Hong and planned to borrow a place for him, but Duan Hong advised us to go to the hall to practice. We were not sure about the reason, so Duan Hong asked us to try it here. As a result, after a day, our progress was not even half an hour earlier than in the hall.

Duan Hong explained: "The Red Beast can absorb flame energy, so you will naturally be much faster to practice in the Red Beast's body."

We understand this principle, so we still have to go back to the main hall to practice. Duan Hong told us that it is easy to start the Purgatory Sutra, but it will become more and more difficult in the future. Many people can't pass the third level. The talented people in the underworld only reached the fourth level. The fifth level took hundreds of years but had no results, so they simply gave up.

This news can be said to have poured a basin of cold water on my first fire of hope. Duan Hong told us that if we encounter difficulties at the fourth level, we can come back. He would ask those who reach the fourth level to guide us, but we must only pass the first three levels by ourselves. This is a test of talent. If we can't even pass the first three levels, we should not think about the ones behind. We returned to the hall and practiced hard for three days and finally reached the standard.

When we opened the first stone door, there was also a hall in front of us, but there was no amethyst stone pillar here, and the core was also above. After activating the core, we found the second stone door. The magic tricks recorded on it were several times deeper than the first level, and we would suffer obvious resistance when practicing.

But for us, it was just a little more time. This time it was ten days. We opened the second stone gate and came to the third hall. There was an altar in the center of the hall. When we walked up, I saw the magic tricks around the altar. I jumped onto the altar. Countless sparks transformed out of thin air and turned into a flame monster with wings on the back. It looked very similar to the one on the drawings, and it was a reduced version of the red beast.

The breath is very strong, I have to treat it with caution, and Liu Xueyan also came up to help me, but as soon as she came on the stage, the strength of the Red Beast increased a lot. The more people the Red Beast's strength is, the stronger it is? Liu Xueyan tentatively jumped off the altar, and the Red Beast's strength returned to its original state. As expected, this is true.

Liu Xueyan said: "Be careful."

I nodded and summoned the Xuanming Sword. The red beast flapped its wings, and two flaming hurricanes swept towards me. The hot breath made the breath I breathe hot. My face was solemn, and I released the Yellow Springs Nether Fire to resist, which played a role. I swung my sword and slashed out a long dragon of flames to fight it.

The two collided and exploded with strong fluctuations, but the flame dragon was obviously not as strong as the flame hurricane. It was shrinking little by little, and finally completely disintegrated. The hurricane smashed the flame dragon and rushed towards me. I blocked the Xuanming Sword in my chest. After just breathing, I felt as if I was in flame hell and was no match for it at all. If I persisted so hard, I would probably be burned to ashes.

I jumped off the altar, the fire hurricane disappeared, and the red beast disappeared.

I covered my chest and sprayed a mouthful of dark blood. The blood was scattered on the ground and it was steamed quickly, and a red poisonous smoke came out. Liu Xueyan helped me sit down, took out the healing pill and fed it to me. Then I sprayed a mouthful of blood similar to before, and my body was much better.

"This seems to be fire poison." Liu Xueyan explained, "I have seen it in the book that if the fire poison is strong, it can produce heart fire in the body. Without outsiders' actions, it will be burned into ashes from the inside out. However, the fire poison you have been excreted from the body and should not be affected."

I was a little better, so I searched for the stone gate everywhere, but I didn't find it. There was nothing but an altar here.

"It seems that we have to practice the magic tricks on the altar and use the magic tricks to defeat the red beast before we can reach the next level."

Liu Xueyan said: "The magic trick talks about practicing the Purgatory Taoist Sutra to a certain level that can resist the invasion of fire poison."

I nodded, "Then let's start, we're in a hurry."

This time, the practice of the Purgatory Taoist Sutra is ten times more difficult than the last time. Not only is the magic tricks obscure and difficult to understand, but the most terrifying thing is that you may also be backfired by the heart fire during practice. At the least, you can get into devils, and at the worst, you will be burned into charcoal.

The next day, I suddenly encountered the backlash of my heart fire and almost died. Fortunately, Liu Xueyan noticed the movement and pulled me out of my meditation, so she did not hurt herself.

To resist the backlash of heart fire, you must first calm down. I think about external things and feel restless, so I am prone to backlash. However, Liu Xueyan is different. She has been practicing alone for hundreds of years, and this kind of practice is as simple as eating and drinking water.

Liu Xueyan also advised me to give up and let her deal with the Red Beast.

"No, I won't believe it anymore. Can't I pass this third level?"

I made up my mind, eliminated all external interference, and devoted myself to practicing. This time the effect was much better. Every time the heart fire came out, I suppressed it. In this way, practice was like a wooden barrel storing water, accumulating little by little.

Just meditation and practice are not suitable for the third level test. Some parts need to be mastered in combat, so whenever meditation feels boring and difficult to persevere, we both use the Purgatory Taoist Sutra to practice.

The two of them clicked until they were. Otherwise, if the fire poison was too deep, it would be impossible to solve the level of our current cultivation of the Purgatory Taoist Sutra.

As time goes by, my mastery of the Purgatory Taoist Sutra has deepened a little bit. Finally, I don’t know how many days have passed. I feel that I have the power to fight with the Red Beast, so I put down my practice and climbed to the altar.

Liu Xueyan watched the game from the side and noticed that the situation was wrong and took action at any time.

The flame power condensed in the hall again, and the red beast appeared in front of him. It looked at me with great disdain. The Purgatory Fire was attached to the palm of his hand, "Eat me a palm."

The red beast vibrated its wings, its body flew up, and a flame spurted out from its mouth. I used the fire palm to meet it. After a moment, I felt very difficult and my strength was still not enough. The red beast increased the intensity of the flames, and I felt that my hands were about to lose consciousness, so I hurriedly stepped down from the altar.
