Treasure Hunting in the Ruins, Scarlet Flame True Lord

After collecting his Lihuo Essence Qi, Chen Nianzhi looked into the depths of the ruins and said, "The dangers here are unknown; we shouldn't split up to explore."

"Clear."

Everyone nodded, and then they ventured deeper into the ruins.

Only now did they begin to examine the ruins closely; these ruins seemed to have once been a high-level Spirit Vein.

Even now, the Spiritual Qi here is still quite abundant. However, there are broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the earth has been pierced by the Subterranean Fire Vein, which has almost transformed this Spirit Vein into a Fire Vein, with scorching lava flames everywhere.

"Judging from this scene, this Spirit Mountain has also been affected by the battle of that year."

Chen Nianzhi sighed and said with a somewhat serious expression.

Around six thousand years ago, in order to quell the demon cave in one battle, Emperor Jiang destroyed a Pure Yang Supreme Treasure, piercing the earth's membrane with a single blow and triggering the boundless power of the Subterranean Fire Vein.

The raging flames boiled and filled the sky, burning the forbidden area of the demonic cultivators into a sea of fire. Only then did they break the demonic cultivator's greatest reliance and kill him in this world.

In return, the area within a radius of millions of miles was engulfed by a sea of fire, forming the Infernal Flame Sea we see today.

This secret realm, located amidst Infernal Flame Sea, naturally suffered an undeserved calamity, being invaded by the Earthfire and destroyed overnight.

The group continued deeper into the secret realm and finally found a relatively intact building, which turned out to be a Scripture Repository.

As a treasure trove of cultural heritage, the Scripture Repository's defenses are naturally top-notch. Although several layers have been eroded by lava, the top layer remains quite intact.

Chen Nianzhi tried his hand at it and found that there was a powerful restriction on the top layer that he couldn't break through.

This made him frown slightly, and he said solemnly, "Be careful, the restrictions of this formation were probably set up by Nascent Soul True Lord."

"After so many years, even if it were set up by Nascent Soul True Lord, its power would probably be insufficient. If we work together, we will definitely be able to break it."

Jiang Linglong spoke up, and everyone immediately took action.

Although the barrier was Bu Fan powerful, it had ultimately been worn down by the passage of time. After enduring the relentless attacks, it was breached after only a short while.

Once the restriction was broken, the Scripture Repository exploded instantly, and seven or eight dazzling rays of light flew out from it.

Jiang Linglong and Chen Nianzhi exchanged a glance, then quickly collected all seven or eight streams of light before speaking.

"Let's go first, and we'll divide the treasure once we get out."

"Alright, let's find the spirit medicine garden first."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he flew deeper into the ruins. After flying for hundreds of miles, they finally found the spirit medicine garden in a dilapidated valley.

However, upon seeing the spirit medicine garden, everyone showed even greater disappointment.

The array of this tens of thousands of hectares of spirit medicine garden has been eroded, and a large amount of lava has poured into the spirit medicine garden, actually forming a Tier 4 Subterranean Fire Vein.

"What a pity."

Everyone sighed. If a garden of spirit medicine that had not been harvested for thousands of years were intact, its value would be immeasurable.

Unfortunately, Canghai drastically, and even the earth and mountains have undergone tremendous changes. A high-level Spirit Vein has actually turned into Subterranean Fire Vein.

Under such conditions, it's unlikely that any spirit medicine could survive.

However, a Tier 4 Fire Vein would surely contain remnants of treasures, and everyone understood that time was of the essence, so they did not waste any more time.

Together they flew into the depths of the Fire Vein and indeed found several precious fire-attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures within the spring.

Among these treasures are three Fire-Origin Pearl and several Fourth-order Heavenly Material. The most precious of these heavenly materials and earthly treasures are two ' Voidreturn Spirit Treasure Jade '.

The Voidreturn Spirit Treasure Jade is of extraordinary value. It is a treasure formed by the fusion of high-grade spirit medicine and Fire Vein minerals. Generally speaking, only Tier 5 Alchemist can refine this jade using profound creative techniques.

If nothing unexpected happens, this item is formed by the fusion of the essence of countless spirit medicine refined from the Fire Vein that invaded the spirit medicine garden and the essence of the underground flames.

It is said that by combining this item with the Five-Elements Treasure Pearl, one can refine the Creation Voidreturn Pill, a Tier 4 High-Grade pill that can increase the cultivation of Golden Core realm cultivator by sixty years after consumption. It is one of the most precious treasures in the Golden Core realm realm.

"My darling."

Jiang Linglong looked at the Voidreturn Spirit Treasure Jade and revealed a look of surprise and delight.

With this treasure, all they need to do is go back and refine it into Precious Pill, and their cultivation levels will likely advance to the next level.

Having collected these treasures, the group was preparing to leave when Chen Nianzhi let out a soft exclamation and stepped across the void to a sea of fire.

He simply raised his hand and flicked it slightly, drawing a pale white jade into his palm.

"The Creation Jade"

Hermit Qingci's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of joy.

Unexpectedly, this ruin has also given birth to a Creation Jade.

Holding the Creation Jade, Chen Nianzhi said with some surprise, "Since there is Creation Jade, there must be a Creation Spirit Mine here."

"Keep looking."

Everyone was overjoyed. This Creation Spirit Mine had not been mined for thousands of years, and perhaps it had already accumulated several Creation Jade.

Just then, their actions finally alerted a being deep within the ruins. A massive shockwave shot into the sky, and a thousand-foot-tall figure, resembling a crimson fire god, rushed towards them.

"Oh no, it's Scarlet Flame True Lord!"

Chen Nianzhi recognized the identity of the crimson fire god; the Scarlet Flame True Lord was Scarlet Flame Demon Spirit at the Nascent Soul Realm stage.

These Scarlet Flame Demon Spirit have relatively weak innate foundations, and their potential is also greatly limited. Due to insufficient foundation and strength, strictly speaking, Scarlet Flame True Lord is not a true Nascent Soul True Lord.

However, his strength was 40-50% greater than that of Pseudo-Nascent Soul realm cultivator, so he was called False True Lord by cultivators all over the world.

Even if it is False True Lord, its combat power is actually 70% of that of Nascent Soul Cultivator, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people to deal with.

"Let's go quickly."

"The secret realm is about to close, so we still have time to escape."

As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he quickly summoned the Azure Sun Treasure Ark and fled into the distance with them.

The Azure Sun Treasure Ark was extremely fast, and managed to escape from the secret realm before Scarlet Flame True Lord could catch up.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the Scarlet Flame True Lord deep within the secret realm roared and angrily attacked the breach.

It was a thousand feet tall, making it impossible for it to pass through the narrow entrance, but it forced its way through the formation and stretched out an arm to grab everyone.

"Oh no!"

Seeing that Scarlet Flame True Lord was rampaging, Chen Nianzhi activated the array he had prepared beforehand to block him, and then sprinkled Golden Radiance Glazed Fire down to burn him.

The Golden Radiance Glazed Fire is a pure Buddhist divine fire, most effective against demons and evil spirits. With the blessing of the formation, it unleashed three streams of flame, which actually caused the Scarlet Flame True Lord's arm to tremble violently and let out a scream.
