World-Fallen Lotus
Cui Yan stared at the purple crystal, a hint of undisguised joy flashing in his eyes.
He took out a small knife and pried the purple crystal off.
The moment the crystal landed in his hand, a surge of pure Yin Qi flowed into Cui Yan's body.
Cui Yan's eyes lit up, and he whispered.
"My guess was right; there really is Yin Spring Stone here."
He put the crystal away and continued.
"Let's split up and search. There must be quite a few more Yin Spring Stone in this Lava lake."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Lingyun began to move horizontally along the rock face.
Song Wen glanced at Chu Lingyun's retreating figure, then sped off in the opposite direction.
"Extreme Yin, search carefully. If you can find even one Yin Spring Stone, I will reward you handsomely."
Cui Yan's voice suddenly rang in Song Wen's ears.
Song Wen stopped and turned to face Cui Yan.
"Yes, senior."
Cui Yan nodded and dived deeper into the depths.
The deeper you go, the stronger the evil energy becomes, and the greater the chance of finding Yin Spring Stone.
Cui Yan's cultivation level was higher, so he naturally had to dive deeper to find the Yin Spring Stone.
The relatively shallow areas were left to Song Wen and Chu Lingyun.
Although Lava appears to flow freely on the surface, it is actually extremely viscous. Moving through it will result in very strong resistance.
Song Wen used his Law Power shield to keep the lava at bay.
The dark blue Lava streaked across the shield, obscuring Song Wen's vision.
Therefore, Song Wen could only rely on his Divine Sense to perceive his surroundings.
Furthermore, the malevolent energy within the Lava exerted a strong suppressive effect on Divine Sense, allowing Song Wen to perceive only a radius of about a hundred feet around him.
This forced Song Wen to be extremely careful, lest he disturb some of the creatures living in the Lava.
After an incense stick had burned, Song Wen had only traveled about two miles.
He estimated that it should have already been outside Cui Yan's perception range.
Green flames suddenly ignited on his Law Power shield.
Song Wen immediately felt that the consumption of his Law Power had decreased significantly.
The Nether Corpse Cold Flame is a Yin-attribute Spirit Flame, capable of easily resisting the Yin and evil power within Lava.
Song Wen changed direction and floated upwards.
He suspected that Cui Yan and Chu Lingyun had already decided to kill him, but since he still had some use to them, the two hadn't made a move yet.
He planned to escape from Mist-Hidden Island quietly and cease using the identity of 'Extreme Yin' until he had formed his Nascent Soul.
After Song Wen rose several dozen feet, suddenly, the Lava above surged violently, and a powerful sense of oppression swept over him.
Upon seeing this, Song Wen quickly dodged, pressing his body tightly against the black rock wall.
A gigantic foot, several meters in diameter, stomped down from above, passing a meter away from Song Wen. The magma began to surge and boil, creating swirling currents and eddies. The magma currents carried Song Wen, attempting to push Song Wen in the direction the gigantic foot was moving.
Sometime later, the Yin Camel Tortoise appeared above Song Wen, seemingly drawn to something; they were swimming in the lava.
With lightning speed, Song Wen transformed his hands into withered, sharp claws, piercing them into the black rock wall to steady himself and avoid being swept away by the lava.
He used both hands alternately to pierce the rock wall, climbing deeper into the lava.
Now that the Yin Camel Tortoise is here, escape is not an option for the time being. Only after it leaves will Song Wen dare to emerge from the Lava.
When Song Wen descended to a depth of 100 zhang again, the influence of the magma currents on him had become negligible.
Song Wen removed his hands from the rock wall, feeling the magma still surging above him.
The Yin Camel Tortoise didn't seem to intend to leave; instead, it appeared to be searching for something.
Without hesitation, Song Wen began to move laterally.
Since the Yin Camel Tortoise wouldn't leave, he decided to take the initiative to distance himself from it.
To avoid attracting the attention of the Yin Camel Tortoise, Song Wen tried to conceal his aura and moved slowly, hugging the rock wall.
After traveling for a quarter of an hour, Song Wen had covered approximately ten miles.
Song Wen planned to travel a little further, until he was far enough away from the Yin Camel Tortoise, before emerging from the Lava.
Suddenly, a hole appeared in the stone wall in front of Song Wen.
The cave entrance was about two zhang high, and the inside was filled with dark blue lava.
Due to the magma tremors caused by the Yin Camel Tortoise, the magma flowed in and out of the cave, surging back and forth.
Adhering to the principle of not entering caves, Song Wen bypassed the cave entrance and continued forward.
Suddenly.
The surrounding lava surged violently once more.
Song Wen's body was swept away by the flowing lava and pulled into its depths.
Left with no other choice, Song Wen hurriedly grabbed onto a protruding rock at the cave entrance to barely maintain his balance.
Within the magma, it was as if a colossal object had been thrown in; the object rolled, causing the magma to flow and countless undercurrents to surge forth.
"It's that Yin Camel Tortoise; it's heading this way!"
The thought flashed through Song Wen's mind.
Song Wen didn't care about the danger in the Cave; he quickly slipped Cave.
To get as far away from the Yin Camel Tortoise as possible, Song Wen had no choice but to venture deeper into the Cave.
"Why does it feel like this Yin Camel Tortoise is chasing me?"
As Song Wen fled, he thought to himself.
"Could there be something on me that attracted the Yin Camel Tortoise?"
Immediately, Song Wen's gaze fell upon the shield formed by the Nether Corpse Cold Flame.
"Could it be the Nether Corpse Cold Flame? The Yin Camel Tortoise feeds on Yin Flame, and the Nether Corpse Cold Flame is a Yin-attribute Spirit Flame..."
Song Wen's eyes widened suddenly. He hurriedly put away the Nether Corpse Cold Flame and instead used his Law Power to condense a shield.
Song Wen's guess was correct; the one chasing him was indeed the Yin Camel Tortoise.
It had now arrived at the entrance to the Cave.
Compared to the enormous body of the Yin Camel Tortoise, the Cave seemed too small, and it was unable to chase the turtle into the Cave.
This made the Yin Camel Tortoise somewhat irritable.
It opened its mouth wide and inhaled sharply, like a whale sucking in water, and the surrounding magma rushed into its mouth like flowing water.
Immediately afterwards, the Yin Camel Tortoise opened its mouth and spat out the magma it had swallowed earlier, which erupted like a volcano.
The lava, with overwhelming force, plunged deep into the Cave.
The collision of lava with the cave walls produced a series of booming sounds, and the entire Cave trembled violently.
Song Wen was swept away by the raging lava flow and carried deeper into the Cave.
During this time, he crashed into the hard rock wall several times, causing his Qi and Blood to churn and him to feel dizzy.
Fortunately, the Cave's interior was winding, and after repeated impacts from the rocks, the lava flow gradually decreased and eventually subsided.
Song Wen shook his head, slowly recovering from the severe dizziness.
After using his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings, he discovered a bizarre scene.
Before him, a deep blue lotus flower was blooming in a proud and magnificent manner.
This lotus stands proudly alone, supported steadily by a slender stem growing from a crack in the rock.
The lotus flower was located at the deepest part of the Cave, which was much wider than the Cave passage where Song Wen was, about an acre in size.
Within this cave, which spans approximately one acre, there is no lava present; it seems as if an invisible force is keeping the Lava at bay.
"World-Fallen Lotus!"
There was a hint of excitement in Song Wen's voice.
