I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

Inside, there are as many as twenty-three drops of One Yuan Heavy Water, which can allow him to persist in this lava a bit longer.

Soon after, Zhou Changwang directly took out a ’Stone Bowl’.

This ’Stone Vat’ is not simple; it was smelted by him using Thunder Skill and Five-Colored Stone.

Besides the ’Stone Vat’, there was also a vat lid.

Precisely prepared for collecting the Fire of the Earth’s Core.

Due to having extra materials, Zhou Changwang also made a ’Stone Bottle’ and a ’Stone Pot’, both with lids.

He intends to use the stone bottle to store One Yuan Heavy Water or some precious Spirit Pills.

As for the Stone Pot!

He didn’t think much.

He simply noticed there were leftover materials, so he smelted it along the way.

Then he quickly stepped forward.

One vat down, he covered that mass of Fire of the Earth’s Core, then sealed it with the vat lid.

The Fire of the Earth’s Core was collected by him.

Everything went unbelievably smoothly.

However, that was to be expected.

Five-Colored Stone, not afraid of the Five Elements.

This Fire of the Earth’s Core, though scorching, couldn’t harm it when placed in a stone vat.

Naturally, Zhou Changwang directly collected it.

After confirming the lid was tightly sealed, Zhou Changwang placed a Second Grade Seal Talisman over it to prevent Spiritual Power leakage.

Only then did a faint smile appear on Zhou Changwang’s face.

"This time, it’s truly a blessing in disguise.

If I weren’t forced to retreat into the magma in desperation.

I couldn’t have brought myself to charge into the lava.

And naturally, I wouldn’t have acquired this Fire of the Earth’s Core."

Zhou Changwang felt quite emotional in his heart.

However, indeed.

The underground magma, extremely high in temperature, also has fire poison invading, much like being hit by a First-Grade High-Tier Fire Technique all over the body at every moment.

What cultivator wouldn’t be afraid? Who dares to face such an environment head-on?

Zhou Changwang too was left with no choice.

"But now.

The five spiritual objects I need for cultivating the Five Elements Pure Yang True Body are almost complete.

Only the quantity of One Yuan Heavy Water is slightly insufficient, but the difference between lack and none is indeed significant."

With satisfaction in his heart, Zhou Changwang was about to delve deeper and find a place to break out.

A puzzled look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Why hasn’t my Defensive Golden Armor’s consumption speed significantly reduced?

Originally, it could last for sixty breaths, but now only thirty breaths.

Reduced by half.

Is the temperature of the magma here indeed higher, more terrifying?"

Zhou Changwang was shocked, and instinctively swept it with his Spiritual Sense again.

"Hmm?"

Swallowed again.

Couldn’t perceive any information.

"Is there another spiritual fire?"

Almost instinctively, this thought arose in him, and he quickly approached in the direction where his Spiritual Sense was devoured.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang...

A mass of green and ghostly flame hovered in the magma, eerie and beautiful.

It flickered like a candle in the wind.

Yet the terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding lava to churn violently.

As if always brewing another volcanic eruption.

"Nanming Li Fire?

Is this the Nanming Li Fire?

Here, there’s actually another Heaven and Earth Fire, the Nanming Li Fire?

And it’s so close to the Fire of the Earth’s Core?"

Zhou Changwang was dumbfounded.

He found it truly hard to believe.

He didn’t expect there to be a second Heaven and Earth Fire in this volcano.

And both landed right in his path.

Then, a slight realization arose in his heart.

Ah!

He finally understood why Ye Ping’an and his group traveled thousands of miles to the volcano on Tianming Island.

Their purpose must be this Nanming Li Fire.

Only then did he understand why Ye Ping’an seemed relieved when he stated the purpose of this trip was ’Earth Fire’.

It must be because they discovered that their goal was different from theirs, meaning that news of the ’Nanming Li Fire’ hasn’t been exposed...

"Seeing treasure and not taking it, defies the natural principles.

This enormous fortune should be mine too."

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang didn’t hesitate, rushing forward again.

Meanwhile, the consumption rate of his Defensive Golden Armor increased dramatically again.

Ten breaths, five breaths, three breaths...

No hesitation.

Zhou Changwang took out another drop of One Yuan Heavy Water.

With the Water Refining Technique, he dispersed it!

Boom!

Just in time to replenish the Taiyi Golden Armor Technique.

He immediately took the ’Stone Pot’ smelted from Five-Colored Stone and covered the Nanming Li Fire, sealed it with the pot lid, and added the Sealing Spiritual Talisman.

But then, Zhou Changwang also noticed.

Due to the consumption of two drops of One Yuan Heavy Water.

A large amount of water was suddenly released, and under constant pressure, the already bursting lava rapidly churned and shook again.

Then propelled!

The lava continued to roll upwards.

Then!

Boom boom boom!

The lava surged upward rapidly.

The volcano erupted!

Not just that largest volcanic mouth!

Because of the distance, the originally dormant crater for over fifty years erupted too.

Endless lava surged upward rapidly.

A cultivator who had been guarding the volcano observed this and frantically fled into the distance.

Looking utterly disheveled!

"This volcano!

Why did it erupt suddenly?

And after over fifty years, why now, just when that person went in?"

Ye Ping’an and his group rapidly approached, all looking extremely concerned.

"He’s definitely up to no good."

"It seems he hasn’t escaped.

Still in the magma."

"Young Master, Elder Xue, I have a suspicion, but I’m unsure if I should say."

One of them hesitantly spoke.

"Speak!"

Xue Xuanqing snorted coldly.

"This person’s strength is so formidable.

It seems he caused the volcano to erupt, clearly indicating that the magma inside can’t harm him.

I’m afraid, I’m afraid that Nanming Li Fire might also fall into his hands..."

He spoke timidly.

"We can’t wait any longer!

You stay here.

The old man will go in once.

If I don’t kill him, I won’t be able to quench the hatred in my heart.

Moreover, the Nanming Li Fire must not fall into his hands either."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xuanqing’s face changed, and he immediately rushed toward the volcano, no longer hesitating.

Ye Ping’an, standing by, opened his mouth but couldn’t stop him.

After all, ultimately, Xue Xuanqing was looking for that Nanming Li Fire for him.

Now that his own nephew has already perished, and the other party wants revenge and enters the magma for him, he naturally won’t stop.

...

"I didn’t expect that after the volcano erupted, the changes underground were so fierce and intense."

Zhou Changwang, in the magma, was tossed around like leaves in the wind.

Realizing the excessive consumption of his Spiritual Power, he quickly consumed Spirit Pills to replenish.

After his Spirit Root talent reached its peak, his efficiency in absorbing and converting Spirit Pills strengthened greatly.

So generally, when not in intense battle, as long as Spirit Pills aren’t lacking, he hardly needs to worry about a lack of Spiritual Power.

However, underground, the consumption was indeed too great.

His One Yuan Heavy Water is really precious and can’t withstand many consumptions.

Thus, he quickly chose a direction, rapidly floating upwards until he hit the magma’s interior wall, then used Earth Escape Technique to swiftly tunnel in, moving through the underground.
