I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

"How did that person discover the Fire of the Earth’s Core here?"

Zhou Changwang used his Divine Sense to explore, but due to the magma, he could only probe three zhang deep before everything became a blur.

Yet he noticed nothing. With the Spirit Eye Technique, the visible distance was even shorter.

"Could it be that the Fire of the Earth’s Core was somehow propelled by the magma to arrive at this position at just the right time and was then spotted by that cultivator?"

Zhou Changwang speculated in his heart.

This was a bit tricky.

Does he really have to venture into the magma to find that Fire of the Earth’s Core?

One must know, the temperature of magma is extremely high.

Even though he has many defensive means and the Taiyi Golden Armor Technique which has reached perfection level, he wouldn’t last long.

"Hmm?"

Just at that moment, he suddenly felt the air around him become oppressive.

Immediately after, he saw a figure suddenly appear above the mouth of the volcano.

"Hahaha.

Surprised?

Last time I asked you to hand over the Purple Bodhi, you refused adamantly.

Now let’s see where you can run!"

Ye Ping’an immediately spotted Zhou Changwang below and coldly laughed.

Soon after, several cultivators appeared around the volcano’s mouth, vaguely surrounding Zhou Changwang.

Including Ye Ping’an, there were nine people in total.

Moreover, one of them was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xue Xuanqing.

"Damn it!

I’ve been trapped here."

Zhou Changwang’s face changed.

Before entering the volcano, he hadn’t noticed any cultivators nearby, only to find himself surrounded once he stepped inside.

And it was none other than Ye Ping’an, whom he’d met twice and had unpleasant encounters with.

"Young Master Ye, I don’t understand what you mean by this?

I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?"

Zhou Changwang’s expression varied as he spoke up.

"Whether you’ve offended me or not isn’t for you to decide.

Weren’t you able to escape last time?

Now let’s see where you can run."

Ye Ping’an laughed, looking at Zhou Changwang with mockery.

"What do you want?"

Zhou Changwang frowned deeply, feeling a headache coming on.

The environment he was in was extremely unfavorable; he was right in the mouth of the volcano. Although it was an extinct volcano, it wasn’t entirely incapable of erupting, offering no room for retreat.

And the exit? It was occupied by Ye Ping’an and his group.

Not to mention, besides the newly Foundation Establishment Ye Ping’an, there was also the veteran mid-stage Foundation Establishment powerhouse, Xue Xuanqing.

Both had Divine Sense, and the moment they surrounded him, they locked their Divine Sense firmly on him.

"What do I want?

You tell me, what are you doing here?"

Ye Ping’an said teasingly.

"Looking for something."

Zhou Changwang replied, also contemplating his next move.

If it were only one Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wouldn’t be worried, but two, including a mid-stage one, left him slightly unnerved.

"What is it?"

Ye Ping’an asked with interest.

"Earth Fire!"

Zhou Changwang stayed silent for a moment before answering.

"Young Master, he’s stalling for time!"

A cultivator nearby couldn’t help but speak up.

"Let him stall, with so many of us here, he can’t escape."

Ye Ping’an waved his hand confidently, then frowned and said, "Earth Fire?"

He relaxed internally, relieved it wasn’t the Nanming Li Fire he had imagined.

But that made sense.

The locations were different.

Zhou Changwang’s search was in this dead volcano.

Whereas his target was the largest volcano nearby.

Then, he continued, "Alright, next you just need to throw up your storage bags, along with your Spirit Insect, the Golden Armor King Flying Cicada, and break the contract with it.

I might consider letting you go."

"So there’s no negotiation then?"

Zhou Changwang frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

"Or, you swear by the heavens to acknowledge me as your master.

I might not be unwilling to..."

Ye Ping’an was in the midst of speaking.

When suddenly the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and in the next moment.

Rumble!

One, two, three...

Five bolts of lightning rapidly struck down towards him!

"Young Master, watch out!"

"How dare you!"

"Courting death!"

...

Everyone’s face changed drastically.

No one expected that under such circumstances, Zhou Changwang would dare to make a move.

Ye Ping’an’s expression also changed suddenly, but he wasn’t flustered. With a wave of his hand, a gigantic Golden Tower floated above his head.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five bolts of lightning struck the Golden Tower one after another, causing it to sway violently, rapidly consuming its Spiritual Qi.

Yet ultimately, it didn’t shatter his defense completely.

"Treasure Artifact!

Defensive Treasure Artifact!"

Zhou Changwang’s expression turned, and his heart sank.

Soon after, many cultivators above also made their moves, and a series of magical artifacts swiftly rushed down.

However, what Zhou Changwang truly feared wasn’t these Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators, but the mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Xue Xuanqing.

He too acted at the very instant Zhou Changwang did, and a bright red flying sword, like a flash of lightning, reached Zhou Changwang in no time.

Zhou Changwang focused on a defensive magical artifact, only managing to activate a Spirit Talisman in time.

Roar!

Golem Talisman!

Moreover, a limit-breaking level Golem Talisman.

Its defensive power was incredibly terrifying, comparable to the peak of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

But, facing a mid-stage Foundation Establishment’s sword strike.

It was like having no resistance at all and was easily pierced through.

And then the sword, with undiminished momentum, struck directly at Zhou Changwang’s top-grade defensive magical artifact.

Bang!

A resounding crash, the spiritual light dimmed greatly, followed by another loud bang.
