The intense aura instantly enveloped Wu Tian.
Wu Tian's expression changed drastically, and he immediately deployed his immortal energy barrier to resist the aura of Patriarch Huoyun.
Seeing this, Shen Fengyao quickly said, "Master, what are you doing?"
Patriarch Huoyun retracted his aura, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He said, "You truly possess the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal."
"I have lived for so many years and have seen Golden Immortals in their twenties, but I have never seen a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in their twenties."
"Sect Master Wu, how exactly did you cultivate?"
Wu Tian knew that Patriarch Huoyun was very powerful, so he was much more polite in front of him. He said, "It's just luck."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Huoyun laughed heartily, "Luck? Where is there such luck in the world?"
"You don't need to be so humble in front of me."
"I believe you are the Son of the Sacred Dragon now. Perhaps only someone like you can create such a miracle?"
Wu Tian had no intention of discussing these matters with Patriarch Huoyun. He looked at Shen Fengyao and said, "Sect Master Shen, what is going on?"
"Didn't you ask me to come over for something? What do you want now?"
Shen Fengyao said, "My master said that if I met the Son of the Sacred Dragon, I must bring him to see him."
"As for the specifics, you should ask my master."
Wu Tian cast a questioning gaze at Patriarch Huoyun, who then said, "It's really nothing major."
"The Son of the Sacred Dragon is a rare treasure. If one is truly found, who wouldn't want to take a few more looks?"
"Moreover, the Son of the Sacred Dragon has a close relationship with our Huoyun Sect. Speaking of which, we are in-laws."
"In-laws?" This statement left Wu Tian utterly confused.
He asked in confusion, "Senior, I still don't understand what you mean."
"I have never had any dealings with the Huoyun Sect. Where does this in-law relationship come from?"
Patriarch Huoyun smiled and said, "You came with my disciple, don't you know her true identity?"
"True identity?" Wu Tian glanced at Shen Fengyao in surprise and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Senior, I haven't heard of it."
Patriarch Huoyun smiled, "Is that so? Since my disciple hasn't said anything, let me tell you."
"My disciple carries the power of the Sky-Burning Demonic Tiger within her, and she also possesses a key to the Sacred Dragon Treasure."
"You, as the Son of the Sacred Dragon, don't you have any connection with my disciple?"
"What?!" Wu Tian was greatly shocked and then looked at Shen Fengyao in astonishment.
At this moment, Shen Fengyao's expression also became somewhat unnatural, but she remained silent.
"How can such a thing happen..." After a moment of doubt, Wu Tian murmured.
Patriarch Huoyun said, "What, judging by your words, do you think my disciple is not worthy of the Sacred Dragon Treasure?"
Wu Tian quickly shook his head, "No, I'm just too surprised at the moment."
"After all, I never imagined that Sect Master Shen would have such an identity."
At the same time, Wu Tian's confusion was also resolved.
No wonder Shen Fengyao possessed some Sacred Dragon power; it was because of this!
But soon, his expression became a little stiff.
As everyone knows, if he wanted to obtain the key, he would have to do that with Shen Fengyao.
However, a woman as formidable as Shen Fengyao, could he really...
His eye corners began to twitch slightly.
Heavens, wasn't this too coincidental?
Couldn't you arrange some women who were easier to handle?
Seeing that Wu Tian remained silent, Patriarch Huoyun continued, "Don't be too hasty in your surprise."
"I know how to extract the key."
"But no matter what, Yao'er is my only disciple. If you want to do that to her based solely on your identity."
"Then, as her master, I absolutely cannot agree so easily."
"Therefore, you must gain my acknowledgment. Otherwise, no matter who you are, the Son of the Sacred Dragon, it won't work in front of me!"
Patriarch Huoyun's sudden change in tone startled Wu Tian.
An ominous premonition welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Patriarch Huoyun, what do you mean by that?"
"If I must gain your acknowledgment, then what should I do?"
Patriarch Huoyun said, "It's very simple. As long as you can withstand the power of this lava, I will acknowledge your ability. What do you think?"
"The power of lava?" Wu Tian was still confused.
But at this moment, Shen Fengyao's expression changed drastically, and she subconsciously said, "Master, isn't this a bit too much?"
"This is the place with the strongest lava energy in the Flame Mountain Range. He is only a first-turn Grand Luo Golden Immortal, how could he possibly withstand it?"
Patriarch Huoyun said, "This has nothing to do with me. Even if he dies here, I will not show any mercy."
"Since he is the Son of the Sacred Dragon, he must have unique abilities."
"Otherwise, the key is not so easily obtained!"
Wu Tian was momentarily speechless.
He already had two keys within him, and the acquisition process for those keys was not particularly difficult.
But he never expected that obtaining the third key would involve such a difficult challenge.
"Indeed, nothing can be achieved easily..."
Wu Tian sighed, but there was no trace of fear.
He looked directly into Patriarch Huoyun's eyes and said, "Senior, I can understand your concerns."
"Since you have proposed this, I naturally cannot back down."
"Therefore, Senior, you can do as you wish."
"If I pass, it is my ability. If I fail, I will have no complaints."
"Wu Tian!" Seeing that Wu Tian had agreed so readily, Shen Fengyao became anxious and couldn't help but call out.
Honestly, she didn't know why she was so worried about Wu Tian.
But she was afraid that Wu Tian would get into trouble.
Patriarch Huoyun laughed heartily and said, "Good, good. You are young, but you are quite bold."
"I like straightforward people. If you were hesitant, even if you wanted to accept the test in the end, I wouldn't bother with you."
"However, out of consideration for you, I must remind you."
"The power of this lava is something even a fifth-turn Grand Luo Golden Immortal can hardly withstand."
"If you cannot resist it, you will be burned to the point where not even your primordial spirit will remain."
"Given this, are you sure you have thought it through?"
