The fiery air condenses from time to time and is extremely hot.
"The temperature here can almost melt a middle-grade immortal weapon. Logically speaking, Tianhuanggen is a wood-attribute spiritual object. How could it enter such hot magma?" Qingya said in confusion.
Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said: "It should be that the bloody wasteland collapsed before, and this magma pit was exposed. The Tianhuanggen was probably forced in by the monks, so that it could be easily captured."
"This makes sense. Fifty thousand years old, Tianhuanggen's sanity is comparable to that of a child. He will naturally escape when he is blocked, but he didn't expect to be trapped in the end. Cheng Ling, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, look at the lava area. There is only one channel to go down. According to my guess, the temperature there is much higher than the surrounding temperature. It seems that the lower you go, the higher the temperature. Come on, let's go and take a look first."
After Cheng Ling finished speaking, he led the two girls to the pit, picked up the body-protecting immortal essence, and landed on the stairs with the soles of his feet. As soon as he took a few steps down, he made a hissing sound when the soles of his feet touched the ground, and bursts of air came out. Green smoke.
"Hey! Isn't that Cheng Ling? Who are the two women behind him? What a beautiful woman. She doesn't look like a Taoist in her attire. Could it be that she is a Buddhist female cultivator? He actually walks with someone from the Buddhist sect. It is really treasonous!"
Ren Duxing and Zhou Shijie looked at it, with angry looks on their faces.
"Cheng Ling, how could it be him?" Yun Jingshan unconsciously distanced herself from Qin Xiao, as if Cheng Ling was watching from the side.
Qin Xiao instantly sensed her change and felt a surge of jealousy in his heart. He said, "Fairy Yun, Cheng Ling actually colluded with the Buddhist sect. This is an unforgivable crime. I will definitely inform Junzifeng of the matter and ask his master to come." Clear the door.”
It's a pity that Yun Jingshan seemed to only see Cheng Ling's figure, as if she didn't hear him at all.
Cheng Ling didn't care about what these people thought. The magma lake occupies a small area, only a hundred meters in diameter. However, the color of the magma is not the usual red and yellow, but blood red. It looks extremely pure without any impurities.
In the center of the magma lake, circles of orange light came up from below, and the majestic heat swept in all directions, making people's breath stagnate. The giant tree that appeared in the middle of the magma lake is gradually shrinking. It must be that its roots cannot withstand such scorching temperatures.
At this time, the two monks in the depths of the magma had already decided the winner. The Buddha Sect was more skilled. The Taoist disciple was hit several times in a row and accidentally fell into the magma lake. Only a few bubbles emerged from it. The whole body sank completely and disappeared without a trace.
The monks standing outside all gasped. In just the blink of an eye, an Immortal Lord Consummation monk was melted by the magma. You can imagine how high the temperature was.
The remaining Buddhist disciple laughed and said, "It seems that this Tianhuanggen belongs to me!"
"dream!"
"Put it down!"
"It's just wishful thinking!"
"..."
Before he finished speaking, the monks around him started yelling and cursing, all eager to try and ready to step forward.
Ren Duxing's momentum exploded, and he blocked the monks who were about to move. He pointed out his fingertips with both hands, and even hit the Buddhist disciples with his fingertips from the air.
Misfortunes never come singly, on the other side Zhou Shijie also fired several palm winds, and two veteran disciples of Xianjun Yuanzhen took action at the same time!
The Buddhist disciple was caught off guard and was so proud that he was not prepared at all. He was hit in the middle of the life gate, opened his mouth and spat out a rain of blood, and followed in the footsteps of the Taoist disciples.
The Taoist sect cheered and applauded in unison. On the other hand, the Buddhist sect had gloomy expressions on their faces, and the Taoist sect disciples were filled with resentment.
Cheng Ling was quite surprised and stopped where he was without daring to advance. The atmosphere is very tense at this time, and the slightest movement will become the target of public criticism. Looking at the disciples around him, they all stared at Tianhuang Gen, wishing that hands would grow out of their eyes and take him into their arms.
The further back the spiritual body is, the harder it is to improve. The fifth-level spiritual body is the average level of the Immortal Lord stage. Only those body-refining monks can advance to the sixth level. There is a huge gap between the sixth level and the fifth level, not to mention the seventh level and the fifth level. They are definitely a world apart.
And there is another point. If the spiritual body is not upgraded to the sixth level, the total amount of immortal energy it can hold after advancing to the Immortal King stage will be much less. On the contrary, if you can reach the sixth level spiritual body before the Immortal King stage, you may be able to advance to several smaller realms when you advance, and the total amount of immortal energy will be greatly increased.
Therefore, all monks will not give up their 50,000-year-old Tianhuang roots easily.
Finally, someone shouted: "No matter what, we must not let Tianhuanggen fall into the hands of Buddhism. Let's kill him!"
In an instant, like a gunpowder keg being ignited, the monks surrounding the edge of the pit rushed into the magma pool. The passage was very narrow, and no more than one monk could stand on each road. Cheng Ling made a prompt decision and immediately stepped back to give way to the passage.
When the monks in front saw that he knew things like this, they naturally didn't feel embarrassed and rushed directly towards the center of the magma.
Qingya said: "What, you gave up?"
Cheng Ling smiled calmly and said, "Now is not the best time. Although those who go in first have a chance to get the Tianhuang root, there is no guarantee that they will escape unscathed."
"You are insidious and want to take advantage of others."
Cheng Ling had a trace of black line on his forehead and said displeasedly: "This is called strategy. It's not insidious. I just know how to label it randomly."
Surprisingly, Qingya did not refute, but instead pursed her lips and smiled. Her smile immediately attracted the attention of several monks, and Yun Jingshan secretly resented it. Seeing that he was happily chatting with Liang Qingya, she couldn't help but walked over and said, "Brother Cheng, I didn't expect that you also entered the bloody wasteland. Who is this sister, why don’t you introduce me.”
Cheng Ling glanced at her. Ever since he learned about the Qing Dao technique, he became even more disgusted with Piaomiao Snow Sect. If it weren't for Gu Nian Jingwen, he wouldn't even say a word.
At this time, Qin Xiao also rushed over and said straight away: "Cheng Ling, look at the attire of these two, I'm afraid they are not Taoist disciples! You are so brave. The Gentleman Immortal Emperor has always hated the Buddha Sect, and you still associate with them. .”
Cheng Ling said calmly: "Yes, master has always taught not to associate with evil spirits and heretics. I dare not be with people like you."
"You...!" Qin Xiao was extremely angry, but he rolled his eyes and endured it. There are so many Wuji Sect disciples present who are not blind. They will naturally spread the word about what they saw. There is no need for them to pester endlessly, just wait and see the results.
Yun Jingshan's eyes were slightly red, and she took a step forward and said, "Brother Cheng, that's not the case. We just met on the way. We wanted to come to find you."
Cheng Ling waved her hand and said, "Yun Jingshan, you are free to decide who you want to be with. There is no need to explain to me."
Qingya and Qingyi remained silent. At first they felt a little unhappy when they saw Yun Jingshan coming over. But now they saw Cheng Ling's indifferent attitude and his efforts to defend them, and they couldn't help but feel a little joy.
Cheng Ling couldn't bear to fight with them. After a few words, he stopped talking and focused his eyes on Tianhuanggen in the magma lake.
At this time, there are already many things in the magma lake.
Several monks rushed in, and both sides came and went, fighting for position in the narrow corridor, trying to get closer to Tianhuanggen. Suddenly, circles of waves appeared in the center of the magma lake and spread towards the edge. At the same time, an extremely hot air flow spread out.
Many strong men surrounding the magma lake retreated, leaving only a few people staying there. But the monks in the magma lake were miserable. The sudden burst of heat made them scream in pain.
There were more and more waves in the magma lake. In the end, huge bubbles appeared on the surface of the entire magma lake. The color of the bubbles was pure gold. After the bubbles left the magma lake, they burst suddenly, and a hotter airflow spread than before. The monk in the lake could no longer resist.
Some wanted to escape the same way, but the passage was too narrow and there were people following behind, making it impossible to retreat. In less than a moment, dozens of monks were turned into ashes by the scorching energy.
The monks surrounding the lake all gasped, secretly glad that they did not enter the lake. But after the scorching heat just now, the giant tree transformed by Tianhuanggen was completely annihilated, leaving behind a three-foot-long tree root body, surrounded by a faint green light, leaving only a thin layer.
"No, the temperature in the magma lake is too high. Even the 50,000-year-old Tianhuang roots can't support it. If we don't take it down, I'm afraid we will lose most of the potency."
"We can't wait any longer. With so many people staying here, no one can focus on grabbing the roots of Tianhuang. Let's just kill these people first!"
"At times like this, speed is what matters. These people are too much of a hindrance. Only by clearing them out can we safely get Tianhuang Gen."
"..."
Both parties had almost the same thoughts. After a short pause, the Buddhist Yaksha took action first and attacked the Taoist monks. The Taoist side was not ambiguous either. The old strong men represented by Ren Duxing and Zhou Shijie killed several Mohouluojia tribesmen in an instant.
Cheng Ling and the other three could not avoid it. Qin Yi led several Taoist disciples and came towards the two sisters Qingya and Qingyi to kill them. On the other side, several extremely ugly Shura were also aiming at Cheng Ling, using their killing moves one after another, almost trying to kill him.
The entire magma lake was in chaos, and no monks were free, looking for their opponents.
At this time, the strength gap between the monks became apparent. The most powerful people on the Buddhist side are the Shura tribe. They have a variety of weapons, including swords, guns, swords and halberds, and their moves are extremely ferocious. Their attacks are fatal, and all the Taoist disciples they encounter are defeated.
On the other side, Daomen Ren Duxing and Zhou Shijie are also in the way, and they have no enemies in the same realm.
Qin Xiao, Qin Yi, and Yun Jingshan were together with the old woman they had met before. Although Yun Jingshan said that she had nothing to do with Qin Xiao, she still united with him at the critical moment. We haven't seen each other for several years, and her cultivation level has also improved to the late stage of Immortal Lord. With the combined efforts of the four of them, they are quite powerful.
The most eye-catching ones are Cheng Ling and the other three. At the beginning, Cheng Ling and the two women fought against each other separately. After all, they were from different factions. But very quickly, the two women used their sword skills to repel several Taoist disciples in a matter of seconds.
This time, they attracted the attention of most of the monks. The two women were both Immortal Lord Consummation, and their swordsmanship was also so fierce. They were definitely powerful enemies competing for the Tianhuang Root. For a moment, the repulsed Taoist disciples did not retreat, but instead entangled more than a dozen people and came to kill them.
Cheng Ling frowned. He could clearly see that the two women had not used their full strength in those sword blows just now. Perhaps they were looking at their own face and did not kill them with pain. But these Taoist disciples didn't know what was good or bad, and kept pestering him, which made the Buddha angry.
