Tian Xiaoding discovered a strange fire at the bottom of Wenxin Sea. Regardless of whether it was an earthly fire or not, he would try to get it.
If it was really the Earth's Flame, then the Huanyang Pill used to revive the dead would be another main ingredient, and his wish to resurrect Erniu would be one step closer.
】
There is a barrier blocking the crater. Xiao Ding cannot break it, so he can only find a way to bypass it.
So he went above the barrier, towards one side of the rock wall, used the wall penetration technique and got in.
Originally, he thought that after drilling into the rock wall for a certain distance, he would turn downwards and use the Earth Escape Technique.
However, when he got in, he found that the barrier still extended within the rock wall.
No wonder this barrier is so strong. If it had not extended inside the rock wall, the barrier would have been broken open by the fire snake.
Xiao Ding used the wall penetration technique to move forward within the rocks of the mountain, while using his spiritual consciousness to feel the barrier, trying to find its edge, and then go around it.
However, as he gradually went deeper, he discovered that the barrier was slowly extending downward, like a sphere.
Could it be that this layer of barrier encompasses the entire volcanic cave? Xiao Ding was shocked.
If this layer of enchantment completely covers the entire volcanic cave, then there is really no way for me to break this layer of enchantment!
But Xiao Ding did not give up. He still used wall penetration and ground escape techniques inside the mountain, moving along the barrier and exploring its edges.
As the arc of the barrier fell toward the lower part of the mountain, Xiao Ding felt the temperature getting higher as he went lower. He can only use the spiritual power in his body to fight the heat.
The volcanic cave inside the mountain is shaped like a bottle with a big belly and a small mouth. The outer layer of the barrier also seems to be spherical, covering the entire volcanic cave.
Xiaoding followed the barrier until he reached the magma area at the bottom of the mountain. Only then did he realize that he had finally reached the edge of the barrier.
However, if you want to bypass the barrier and enter the interior, you need to pass through the magma yourself.
Fortunately, Xiao Ding's body has been tempered by the Red Flame Pill and the spiritual fire in his body. In addition, he now has abundant spiritual energy in his body, so he can still withstand the heat of the magma.
So he jumped into the magma, used the wall penetration technique and ran towards the inside of the volcanic cave.
The heat of magma is just the heat of ordinary flames. The cassock worn by Xiao Ding can also resist some heat.
However, he still could not protect the hair on Xiao Ding's body through spiritual power. The moment he jumped into the lava, his incomplete hair and the hair on other parts of his body were all burned to ashes in an instant.
At this moment, the spiritual fire in Xiao Ding's body was also burning brightly, seeming to be absorbing the thermal energy in the magma.
The spiritual fire in his body can be used to refine weapons, and its burning temperature is naturally much higher than the heat of magma. Therefore, for Xiao Ding, being in magma is like Just as casual as swimming in the water.
However, in order to guard against the fire snake in the volcanic cave, Xiao Ding still used invisibility and concealment techniques to minimize his presence.
Soon, he swam into the magma lake inside the barrier.
Just when he was planning to continue moving forward like this, he suddenly felt that there was danger ahead.
At the same time, his consciousness immediately locked onto the fire snake in the magma in front. It was swimming rapidly in the direction of Xiao Ding.
For a Fire Snake who is at the same level as a Nascent Soul Stage monk, Xiao Ding's invisibility and stealth skills are not worth mentioning. In this volcanic cave, if there is any slightest movement, it will sense it immediately.
Therefore, Xiao Ding was discovered by it as soon as he swam into the magma lake.
Xiao Ding knew that he had been discovered by the fire snake. He immediately appeared and flew towards the sky above the magma lake.
The fire snake then jumped out of the lava lake and spit out a big fireball in the direction of Xiao Ding.
Xiaoding stepped on the Tianyang Sword and quickly swerved to avoid it. The fireball hit one side of the rock wall in the volcanic cave, burning the rocks on the wall red. The surface rock melts into slurry and flows down the rock wall.
Seeing such a situation, Xiao Ding was shocked. Obviously, the fireball ejected by the fire snake is much hotter than the magma in the magma lake. If I was hit by that fireball, I don't know if I could withstand it.
After the fire snake sprayed the fireball, it did not stop. It continued to chase after Xiao Ding.
Xiaoding had no choice but to use Tianyang Sword to escape with all his strength. However, the space inside the volcanic cave is limited. Even under the cave close to the magma lake, the space is much larger than above, but it is still not enough for escape.
What's more, the fire snake's cultivation level is much higher than that of Xiao Ding, and its speed is much faster than Xiao Ding's.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ding to be hit by a fireball ejected by the fire snake again. The Tianyang Sword he was stepping on and the robes he was wearing immediately melted and fell into the magma lake.
As for his body, because there was spiritual fire resistance in his body, he was not burned by the fireball.
However, he lost the Tianyang Sword under his feet, his body lost weight, and he suddenly fell into the magma lake.
And where he was at the moment was the fire lotus the size of a round tabletop in the center of the magma lake.
The moment he fell, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed a pod of the fire lotus.
However, the lotus pod was very hot, and Xiao Ding felt that his hand holding the lotus pod was about to be burned. With a quick thought, he sent the plate-sized lotus pod into the Qiankun Pot.
Then, his body fell into the red flame below the fire lotus.
Just when Xiao Ding felt as if his whole body was about to be burned to ashes, the flame suddenly seemed to have discovered something that excited it.
Xiao Ding suddenly felt that there was a red heart of flame at the center of the bottom of the flame. And this heart of fire suddenly got into Xiao Ding's mouth. Then it entered Xiao Ding's abdomen.
Xiao Ding was in pain all over because of the flames. He was grinning and thinking about how to leave, but he never thought that the heart of the strange fire would actually penetrate into his belly.
What surprised Xiao Ding even more was that as the heart of flame penetrated into his body, the fire lotus above the flame and the fire snake that was chasing Xiao Ding just now disappeared.
This should have been something that made Xiao Ding happy. However, Xiao Ding couldn't be happy at the moment.
Because, the moment the heart of flame penetrated his body, he immediately felt the incomparable heat, burning his internal organs.
Soon, his internal organs were burned by the strange fire.
Xiao Ding was in so much pain that he had to temporarily float in the lava lake to heal his injuries and repair his internal organs.
However, this is not the end. After the red heart of flame entered Xiao Ding's body, it aimed at the spiritual fire that had been refined in Xiao Ding's body.
The spiritual fire that Xiao Ding had surrendered before was now like a mouse seeing a cat, scurrying around Xiao Ding's body along its meridians.
And the crimson heart of fire was chasing after him.
As a result, Xiao Ding's meridians were immediately burned by the red flames.
Xiao Ding can't, but it's worth continuing to use energy to repair the meridians.
Injury to the meridians is no small matter.
If the five internal organs are injured, no matter how serious it is, as long as he can still function the "Heart Melting Technique" normally, it can be repaired as before. Once the meridians are severely injured and the spiritual power in the body cannot function normally, Xiao Ding may die here today.
Ever since, the heart of fire was destroying everywhere in Xiao Ding's body, and Xiao Ding was running his skills here to quickly repair it.
Even so, Xiao Ding is still a little unable to do what he wants. The speed of his own repair is naturally not as fast as the damage caused by the flames.
Xiao Ding felt that being soaked in magma at the moment was definitely not conducive to repairing his body. So he immediately moved his mind and entered the Qiankun Pot.
As soon as he came in, Xiao Ding saw that the lotus that had just been thrown in had set the vegetation near it on fire, and the Bagua Weapon Spirit was using the water in the small lake to put out the fire.
But the fire wolf was squatting on the periphery of the fire, stretching its nose and sniffing the hot breath emanating from the fire lotus pod.
The other monster beast followers were hiding far away, not daring to come forward at all.
Xiao Ding had no time to care about other things. He immediately sat cross-legged on the shore of the small lake and continued to use his spiritual power to repair the injured parts of his body.
The Bagua Weapon Spirit was surprised when it saw the naked little Ding suddenly entering the world inside the pot, and said quickly: "Master, who are you practicing dual cultivation with? Why did you come back without putting on clothes?"
Ouyang Qing, who was studying alchemy and weapon refining in the stone room, heard some movement outside and stepped out.
When she saw Xiao Ding naked, she was also shocked.
She came to Xiao Ding and looked at Xiao Ding with doubtful eyes.
At this moment, Xiao Ding had no time to communicate with Qing'er. He was still reluctantly resisting the strange fire in his body.
Ouyang Qing saw something was wrong with Xiao Ding. He saw that all the clothes and hair on Xiao Ding's body were gone, the skin all over his body was red, and his facial expression seemed to be extremely painful.
Therefore, Bingxue, who was smart, immediately guessed that there must be something abnormal happening in Xiao Ding's body, either because he went crazy while practicing, or he was invaded by something.
Since she guessed what kind of trouble Xiao Ding was in, Qing'er naturally wouldn't sit idly by. She immediately sat down next to Xiao Ding, put her hands on the acupuncture points on Xiao Ding's back, and immediately used her spiritual power to explore the situation inside Xiao Ding's body.
Ouyang Qing was already at the early stage of foundation building, and the spiritual power in her body was not inferior to that of Xiao Ding. When she detected that there were two strange fires in Xiao Ding's body that were destroying Xiao Ding's body wantonly, she felt very surprise.
Seeing that Xiao Ding was trying hard to repair the burned parts of his body, Qing'er used her consciousness to say to Xiao Ding: "I will help you repair your body. You must quickly subdue the strange fire or force it out of the body."
Xiao Ding had already used the psychic technique when Qing'er put her hand on his back. He knew that Qing'er was here to help him.
With Qing'er's help, he can free up his hands to control the heart of strange fire.
However, before Xiao Ding could use his spiritual power to subdue the crimson heart of fire, the heart of fire actually caught up with the previous group of spiritual fire in Xiao Ding's body, and instantly destroyed the group of spiritual fire. Devoured without a trace.
Xiao Ding was deeply shocked when he saw this. His own spiritual fire was actually swallowed up by this foreign fire. Then what kind of elixir and weapon refining would he rely on in the future?
The strange fire that swallowed up the spiritual fire was now more red, the flames were brighter, and the heat was higher. Xiao Ding felt that if he didn't surrender it quickly or expel it from his body, he might be burned to ashes by this strange fire.
