Lin Yu extended his soul power to explore the mysteries of the formation, but he was unable to find out anything. In fact, he even vaguely sensed a dangerous fluctuation.
"It seems this formation was set up by someone. This kind of formation is probably no ordinary object; perhaps it's the inheritance site of some powerful being!" Lin Yu thought to himself. "But I wonder who left this formation behind?"
"Never mind, let's take a look first!"
Lin Yu shook his head, no longer seeking the secrets of this formation.
He took the fire lotus.
"Boom!"
A wave of fire surged and rolled, and a terrifying flame burst forth from the fire lotus. The fire wave contained terrifying power, which even severely damaged Lin Yu's soul power.
However, Lin Yu did not give up.
Boom!
Lin Yu's soul power surged, instantly enveloping the flame. Then, with a sweep of his soul power, he devoured the flame into his dantian.
A surge of fiery energy coursed through Lin Yu's soul.
"Haha, as expected, the power of fire is most suitable for me. This fire lotus contains extremely rich fire power. If I can attract the intelligence within this fire lotus, perhaps it can help me break through my cultivation level!" Lin Yu laughed excitedly.
"Buzz~"
At that very moment, within Lin Yu's sea of souls, the flame trembled violently.
"Hmm?"
"This is bad! This fire lotus flower is escaping!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback, then his expression darkened.
The reaction of the fire lotus was clearly beyond Lin Yu's expectations.
Lin Yu originally thought that absorbing the spiritual power within the fire lotus would activate it. After all, the fire lotus contained the power of flames, and other martial artists might be burned to death by its energy. However, Lin Yu had no such worry. He possessed the divine ability to devour soul power and was himself of the fire attribute, so the attack power of the flames had no effect on him.
Moreover, Lin Yu's devouring power is stronger than the power of flames.
This flame power can devour all energy, but it has little effect on Lin Yu's devouring power. In comparison, Lin Yu's devouring power is far stronger.
"Hmph, escape? You think you can get away?"
Lin Yu snorted coldly, and with a tremor in his sea of souls, the fire lotus was absorbed into his sea of fire lotuses.
All of this seems simple, but it contains terrifying dangers. If there is the slightest mistake, Lin Yu's soul power may be backfired. If Lin Yu did not have the power of devouring, he might not have been able to subdue this fire lotus.
"Hmm? What's this?"
Within the fire lotus, Lin Yu faintly sensed a familiar scent, a scent that seemed to be the same as the one he had previously swallowed—a lingzhi mushroom. Moreover, the energy fluctuations within this lingzhi were completely identical to those of the one he had consumed.
"Could this fire lotus be a part of that Ganoderma lucidum?" Lin Yu wondered. He hadn't expected that the fire lotus would contain the remains of that Ganoderma lucidum, and the flames within those remains were incredibly powerful. Lin Yu even suspected that this fire lotus might have been refined from a powerful spirit beast.
"Anyway, let's take it back and study it first!"
Lin Yu sighed slightly. Now that he had swallowed the fire lotus, it was Lin Yu own, and he naturally wouldn't give it away easily. Moreover, Lin Yu was also very curious about how the fire lotus was formed and what its purpose was.
Whew~
As the power of his soul swept through, the fiery lotus flower vanished into the depths of Lin Yu's sea of souls.
The flames within this fire lotus were strange, unlike ordinary flames which were docile. Instead, they had a somewhat unruly feel, and Lin Yu tried to control them, but it was not easy.
However, the fire lotus did not struggle, allowing Lin Yu's soul to invade and possess its soul.
This fiery lotus seemed to be waiting for Lin Yu, waiting for Lin Yu to devour it.
"Hehe, that's quite interesting. It seems that this fire lotus and this lingzhi are indeed closely related!" Lin Yu smiled slightly.
The Ganoderma lucidum and the fire lotus should be of the same kind, except that the flames in the fire lotus are weaker, but still extremely domineering.
Lin Yu didn't waste any time and directly stored the fire lotus into the pill tower in his dantian.
Whoosh!
As Lin Yu entered the Pill Tower, the soul space within the Pill Tower suddenly expanded, and at the same time, a dense wave of fire-elemental laws rippled outwards.
This is a fire lotus, which has taken shape under the nourishment of the fire elemental laws.
With a thought, Lin Yu Lin Yu the fire-elemental soul contained within the fire lotus into the pill tower.
Whew~
Within Lin Yu's dantian and sea of souls, the soul power circulated rapidly, frantically devouring the soul power within the fire lotus. This soul power contained immense energy, comparable to, or even greater than, the soul power Lin Yu Lin Yu absorbed.
"This is great stuff!"
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and the sea of souls in his dantian instantly expanded. All of this soul power was absorbed by Lin Yu Lin Yu merged into his sea of souls.
Boom!
A purplish-gold light flashed, Lin Yu's sea of souls suddenly expanded hundreds of times, reaching a diameter of three thousand meters.
Lin Yu's soul sea power received a huge boost.
However, all of this is not the most important thing; the most important thing is the improvement of Lin Yu's soul power.
This time, Lin Yu's soul sea has improved by more than five times compared to before, and the power of his soul has reached an unbelievable level.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation. His soul power detected a strong soul fluctuation within a Lin Yu lotus flower more than 200 kilometers away. This soul fluctuation was not the power of spiritual intelligence, but rather the fluctuation of the fire element law.
The Fire Lotus is a living fire lotus.
Lin Yu had heard that the soul within some fire lotuses was a living fire lotus. In such cases, the fire lotus was like a person, even possessing consciousness, although it was extremely weak.
Lin Yu sensed the presence of the fire lotus, but he did not intend to try to seize it. Although the fire lotus contained the power of fire-type laws, Lin Yu's understanding of fire-type laws was still at a beginner level, Lin Yu could not yet fully control the power of the laws within the fire lotus.
