At the same time.
Not far from Lingxiao Mountain, where Old Clan Head Ling Yunhong was in seclusion,
there stood a special Spirit Volcano.
The lava within was incomparably powerful, its aura having reached the Quasi Fourth Rank. Even if a Golden Core cultivator touched it carelessly, they would likely be injured.
Yet in such a dangerous place, there lived a vast number of creatures.
They resembled humans, but their entire bodies were formed from lava.
These were the rare Volcano Spirits of this world. They were companion beings born alongside this Spirit Volcano, sharing the same roots as it—sharing glory and ruin alike.
Moreover, these Volcano Spirits could absorb the lava produced by the Spirit Volcano as nourishment to raise their cultivation.
For this reason, deep within this Quasi Fourth Rank Spirit Volcano were quite a few Golden Core Flame Spirits, including even a Golden Core Completion Flame Spirit.
Yet aside from them, there was also a female cultivator here.
Her features were exceptionally delicate, her skin fairer than snow. A Ling Clan Daoist Robe fluttered constantly with the surrounding lava currents, untouched by the lava and instead accentuating her full, graceful figure.
Most importantly, she looked exceedingly young, yet her cultivation had already reached Foundation Establishment Completion. Like the surrounding Volcano Spirits, she could turn the nearby lava into nourishment for herself.
Furthermore, those Volcano Spirits bore her no hostility whatsoever.

the female cultivator also sensed Old Clan Head Ling Yunhong's attempt to break through to Nascent Soul within Lingxiao Mountain not far away.
She immediately opened her eyes, soared into the air, and left the lava. Standing atop a cliff wall at the side of the Spirit Volcano, she gazed toward Lingxiao Mountain in the distance, a strange gleam appearing in her eyes.
