Since Ye Xiao had his own reasons to go to the hidden cave, he did not say anything anymore to the Double-Headed Flame Python. He walked to the stone door and only after arriving in front of it did he noticed that this stone door was actually emitting a very faint yellow light and this light was the culprit of blocking his Divine Sense from inspecting further.

This yellow light was actually another Immortal Levelled Formation about which Ye Xiao had no knowledge. Well, this formation was here not to block a person from going inside but to block one's spiritual sense or Divine Sense so that no one can inspect what is hidden at the other side of the door. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open slowly with both of his hands.

Following the opening of the stone door, a faint light emitted from the inside of the stone door.

After confirming that there were no traps, Ye Xiao walked in. Stepping into the stone door, the view before him suddenly widened.

On the walls were Moonlight Stones that were used for lighting. In the middle of the stone room, there was a chair and in front of the chair, there was a rather wide and long Green Stone Table. On the Green Stone Table, there were two locked stone boxes placed neatly.

Other than these things, there was nothing inside the cave.

Ye Xiao guessed that the Infernal Phoenix Seed might be inside one of these two boxes.

Just as he was about to take his steps forward, he heard a hissing sound from behind his back. Ye Xiao stopped in his track. He could not afford to offend the Double-Headed Flame Python at this time.

This Double-Headed Flame Python has already awakened his intelligence for some reason and from the way it behaved before, it could be seen that this Double-Headed Flame Python was much more intelligent and cunning than a normal human.

Seeing that Ye Xiao stopped and did not continue to move forward, the Double-Headed Flame Python nodded with both of their heads in satisfaction just like humans. Then they ignored Ye Xiao and arrived in front of the two boxes.

They first looked at the two boxes and then they looked at each other, seems to be conversing something among themselves.

Ye Xiao took the advantage and immediately used the Spirit Devour Escape to arrive in front of the table, stored the two boxes inside his spatial ring, and ran.

After being stunned for few breaths of time, the Double-Headed Flame Python also came back to their sense. Although it was already alert but when it laid down its guard when it saw Ye Xiao not moving from his spot. It thought that Ye Xiao was afraid of it and because of it, the Double-Headed Flame Python's two started to converse with each other while subconsciously ignored Ye Xiao's existence inside the hidden cave.

And the result was something that it never thought. Ye Xiao took the advantage of their carelessness, stole the two boxes, and escaped.

After coming back to its sense, the Double-Headed Flame Python gave chase to Ye Xiao but before it could even cross the passage leading to the hidden cave, an aura that could dominate its entire existence appeared out of nowhere and intimidated it.

It was a dragon's aura and a dragon's aura was something no python-type creature can face head-on. For a creature like the Double-Headed Flame Python, a dragon was like its ancestor. It would not even dare to raise its head in front of a dragon so when facing the dragon's aura, it froze on its own spot and did not dare to move.

After a short while, the dragon aura vanished and only then the Double-Headed Flame Python dared to move, but it was so terrified that it had long forgotten to give chase to Ye Xiao.

Of course, the dragon aura was the work of Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao knew that the Double-Headed Flame Python will definitely chase after him so he immediately thought of a saying: "How can a snake dare to raise its head in front of a dragon?"

Thinking of this saying, Ye Xiao transformed into the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon and intimidated the Double-Headed Flame Python with his dragon aura. After coming out from the cave, he attacked the mouth of the cave with his big tail, shattered the hard rocks from the wall, and closed the entrance of the cave so that the Double-Headed Flame Python would not come out.

Only then did he reverted back to his original self and took a long breath of relief.

At this moment, Ye Xiao took out the two boxes from his spatial ring and placed them on the ground in front of him. Then he also sat down there and opened the first box.

The moment the box was opened, a brilliant red light shined, forcing Ye Xiao to close his eyes. He can also feel that the moment the box was opened, the fire energy in the surrounding surged as the temperature started to rise greatly.

After some time when he opened his eyes, he saw a small round red object in the box. This round object was the size of a medicinal pill but there were many complex carvings on the surface of this round red object. This object was red because it was burning with never-ending fire just like a Phoenix.

Maybe, this was the reason it was called the Phoenix Seed but the main point here was not the fire but the fiendish aura. Yes, this red object was actually filled with fiendish aura, and this gave its name another word to add: Infernal.

Yes, this red object was the Infernal Phoenix Seed that Ye Xiao came here to search for. Finally, it was in his hand.

He once again closed the box and kept it inside his spatial ring. Then he opened the other box and found something that lit up his eyes.

Inside this box, there was a piece of metal. This metal was hexagonal in shape and red in colour. A light, pleasing to the eye and body shone from this stone. This stone was called Inferno Stone.

Inferno Stone was a very rare stone and its value was not less than a Low-Grade Immortal Rank Weapon itself. Inferno Stone was also an Immortal Levelled material for refining a weapon. But for some reason, the moment Ye Xiao saw the Inferno Stone, the information about it immediately appeared in his mind.

Ye Xiao did not understand why the information about the Inferno Stone appeared in his mind but no matter how much he thought, he failed to find out a reason so he shook off this matter at the back of his head, closed the box, and kept it inside the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

Now, there were two rare things stored inside the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.

Inferno Stone was of course one of the two rare things. As for the other one, it was a small cube of ice. This small Ice Cube was something Ye Xiao bought at the Imperial Garden of the Grand Xia Empire.

At that time, The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon told him not to open the cube for now. He does not know the reason why the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon stopped him from cutting open the cube but he knew that it would not stop without any reason. There must be something important inside the ice cube.

He can cut open it after becoming an Immortal but for now, he has to keep it as it is.

.....

On the top of the Valley, Feng Yu and Ru Lan paced back and forth with an anxious expression on their faces. It had already been more than two hours since Ye Xiao entered the cave to restrict the Double-Headed Flame Python so that they can get the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum.

They had also successfully gotten their hands on the Nine Profound Ganoderma Lucidum and after getting them, they once again returned to the top of the Valley as they had planned at first so that the Double-Headed Flame Python could not harm them if it went berserk because of its rage.

After Ye Xiao entered the cave, at first, there were some movements, but it had been more than one hour since they heard any movement from the cave. Ye Xiao still had not appeared. This made them very worried for Ye Xiao.

After all, Double-Headed Flame Python was a Fifth Grade Magical Beast and it was extremely powerful. If it were to attack with all it got, it can even fight head-on against a person who just breakthrough to the Martial Ancestor Realm.

They did not even know if Ye Xiao was alive or not. Although they did not dare to go down to the cave and check, they still decided to wait for Ye Xiao.
