"Thump!"

An hour later, after adjusting himself to peak condition, Lin Ming disappeared once again into the Sea of Fire of lava and fire, splashing magma sparks on the fiery red surface.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake still vividly remembered Lin Ming's brutality. So when it saw Lin Ming enter the magma, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake obediently slid down and led the way for Lin Ming.

In this fiery Magma World, magma currents occasionally surge from unknown locations.

Although these undercurrents wouldn't cause Lin Ming much harm, they still required him to expend his Dou Qi to resist them. Therefore, when Lin Ming descended alone earlier, he needed to be aware of these magma undercurrents as he went.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake has lived in this magma since birth, and it is as familiar to it as its own backyard. Therefore, with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake the way, Lin Ming does not need to worry about the disturbance of the magma undercurrents. The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake knows to take the route without the magma undercurrents.

As the snake and the human rapidly traversed downwards through the Magma World, the color of the lava began to mix with blue again.

Lin Ming had already experienced this change during his previous descent, showed no change in expression as he continued downwards with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake ahead.

As they continued to descend deeper into the magma, its color had long since turned cyan. Upon reaching this point, the limit of the temperature that the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire could insulate was almost reached. The temperature emanating from the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire enveloping them was already comparable to that of being scorched by the blazing sun.

Looking at his surroundings, Lin Ming guessed that he would probably reach his destination soon. So even though his skin felt burning hot, Lin Ming did not stop descending.

After diving down for nearly the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake gradually slowed its movements and then stopped completely.

Upon seeing the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake stop, Lin Ming was immediately overjoyed and went to where Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake had stopped, a smile instantly spreading across his face.

Ahead, a great azure light emanated from the center, and in the center of this azure light, a Cyan Lotus the size of a straw hat bloomed.

Seeing the lotus blooming amidst the azure light, Lin Ming exclaimed, "I've finally found you!"

Now that the lotus flower had come into view, Lin Ming paused briefly before moving again, heading towards the blue light.

As Lin Ming approached the blue light, the temperature around the magma suddenly increased. This forced Lin Ming to increase the output of his Dou Qi to isolate himself from the terrifying heat.

Fortunately, Lin Ming was not far from the azure light at this time, so in no time, Lin Ming's entire body entered the azure light.

Upon entering the azure light, the increasingly terrifying high temperature did not assault him. In Lin Ming's perception, the temperature had actually decreased considerably.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ming was stunned for a moment, but then stopped dwelling on it and turned his gaze directly to the Cyan Lotus in the center of the light.

The Cyan Lotus has eight petals. Each petal is crystal clear, as if it were carved from the finest blue jade. And within this blue jade lotus flower grows an exquisite Lotus Pedestal that is nearly three feet in size.

Within the exquisite Lotus Pedestal are several holes, and within these holes, Energy Lotus Seed emitting tiny points of fluorescent light are visible.

Seeing that the Lotus Pedestal platform was completely empty except for the Lotus Seed, Lin Ming's last shred of hope vanished, and he sighed, "Well, it's better than nothing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ming's storage ring flashed, and a jade ruler about three feet long appeared in Lin Ming's hand. Then, Lin Ming held the jade ruler and went to the lotus platform.

Upon arriving at the Lotus Pedestal, Lin Ming looked down at the base of the Lotus Pedestal and saw an extremely thin root extending out from Lotus Pedestal.

With Jade Ruler in hand, Lin Ming swiftly swept across the line connecting the lotus root to the Lotus Pedestal, separating the entire Lotus Pedestal from the root. Then, Lin Ming instantly picked up the entire Lotus Pedestal.

After picking up the Lotus Pedestal, a scale with seven colors came into Lin Ming's view, prompting Lin Ming to say, "It seems this is a scale left behind by Queen Medusa."

"Maybe I'll be able to use it someday." Looking at the scales that shimmered with seven colors, Lin Ming thought to himself, then used his palm to draw them in and put them into his Storage Ring.

After carefully storing the Seven-Colored Scale, Lin Ming took out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring. Then, with Lin Ming's manipulation, the Lotus Seed in the Lotus Pedestal detached one by one and were collected into the Lin Ming Jade Bottle.

Looking at the Lotus Seed he had collected, Lin Ming immediately said to himself, "I wonder how far the Flame Gold Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire will advance on its path to evolving into Heavenly Flames after absorbing these eleven Lotus Seed."

"Forget it, I'll know the specifics after I refine it. I'd better get out of here now." With that thought, Lin Ming immediately put the Jade Bottle and Lotus Pedestal into his Storage Ring. Then, with a flap of his wings, he instantly headed out of the blue light.

After leaving the azure light, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake saw Lin Ming's departing figure and immediately followed. Then, the two figures, one human and one snake, rapidly traversed the lava, heading upwards.

"Pfft..."

Half an hour later, with the sound of water breaking, Lin Ming emerged from the lava again, and the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake also showed its head above the lava, looking at Qing Lin with its tongue out, just like those who want to be praised.

"Brother Lin Ming!" Upon seeing Lin Ming emerge, Qing Lin greeted Lin Ming with a smile, her voice warm and affectionate. The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's smug, praise-seeking expression paled in comparison to her Brother Lin Ming.

Seeing Qing Lin's smiling face, Lin Ming smiled back, then flapped his wings and arrived at the passage. Afterwards, when Lin Ming walked to Qing Lin's side, his wings completely disappeared.

"Brother Lin Ming, did you obtain the Heavenly Flames?" Qing Lin immediately asked as Lin Ming approached.

In response to Qing Lin's question, Lin Ming replied, "I did find the birthplace of the Heavenly Flames, but the Heavenly Flames was taken away by the person whose aura you sensed a few days ago, so Heavenly Flames didn't obtain it."

"Ah! Then Brother Lin Ming, your efforts this time have been wasted!" Qing Lin immediately said regretfully.

"Fortunately, although we didn't get the Heavenly Flames, we did get some of its Heavenly Flames. So it wasn't a complete waste of time." Looking at the regretful Qing Lin, Lin Ming reached out and patted Qing Lin's head.

"Hehe! It's good that Brother Lin Ming got something out of it!" Qing Lin immediately smiled and said after knowing that Lin Ming's trip hadn't been in vain.

Now that the matter was settled, Lin Ming immediately said to Qing Lin, "Alright, Qing Lin, let's go back now!"

"Brother Lin Ming, wait for Qing Lin." After Qing Lin finished speaking, she looked at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. Then, she saw the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, whose head had emerged from the magma, suddenly have a bright green light on its forehead. In an instant, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake turned into a green light and disappeared from Qing Lin's eyes.

"Hehe! Brother Lin Ming, Qing Lin is ready, let's go!" After collecting the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, Qing Lin immediately said to Lin Ming.

"Okay! Let's go then!"
