The two sank into the lava, but Xiao Yan quickly adapted.
The feeling is similar to diving, except the difference is that this "water" is very viscous and heavy.
Moreover, if the Heavenly Flames on the body's surface disappear, they will die.
The kind of death that's really gruesome.
The Fire Spirit Snake glanced at Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo following behind, seemingly annoyed by their slow pace.
With a flick of its tail, it wrapped around the two of them and then sped off into the depths of the lava.
After descending to a depth of about 100 zhang, the two suddenly discovered that a bluish color was gradually emerging from the surrounding lava.
Suddenly, a vast open space appeared ahead, where magma had formed a huge cavity.
In the center of the cavity, a green, vine-like thing grew out from the depths of the magma, with a lotus flower blooming quietly on it.
"It really is the Green Lotus Core Flame!"
The Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo's ears, filled with excitement and joy.
" Green Lotus Core Flame!"
Xiao Huohuo was stunned, then his face lit up with ecstasy.
Finally, I'm about to possess my first Heavenly Flames!
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of its tail, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake flung the two into the cavity where the Green Lotus Core Flame resided, then turned and left without looking back.
However, Xiao Huohuo doesn't care about these things now.
"That's right."
The Yao Lao's voice continued, addressing the two:
" The Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, was born deep within the earth and underwent countless tempering, fusion, compression, and sculpting by the earth's flames..."
It takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus.
When it reaches its full potential, its color becomes bluish, and a cluster of bluish flames emerges from the lotus heart, which is called the Green Lotus Flame, also known as the Green Lotus Core Flame.
This fire is incredibly powerful; in areas near volcanoes, it can even trigger volcanic eruptions, creating a destructive force of nature!
As the Yao Lao continued to explain the origin of the Green Lotus Core Flame, Xiao Huohuo's face grew increasingly radiant.
"Alright, stop hesitating and go now. This Heavenly Flames is yours!"
Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, also noticed Xiao Huohuo's excitement and smiled as well. He pushed Xiao Huohuo forward, bringing him closer to the azure Fire Lotus.
As they got closer to the blue lotus, both of them could feel the surrounding temperature becoming increasingly terrifying.
Finally, the two arrived before the blue lotus flower.
The blue lotus flower has eight petals, and these eight blue petals are now so dazzling and captivating in Xiao Huohuo's eyes.
Within the lotus flower, there is a small lotus platform about three feet in size, and the hollows on the platform emit a warm, luminous glow.
" Xiao Xin not to get touched by the tendrils emanating from around this lotus platform, or your fighting Dou Qi will be drained instantly."
The Yao Lao's instructions rang out.
Finally, the two arrived in front of the lotus platform. However, when Xiao Huohuo's gaze swept over the center of the blue lotus, her body suddenly stiffened.
In the center of the small lotus platform inside the lotus, there is a hole the size of a fist; this is where the Green Lotus Core Flame was born.
But at this moment, it's completely empty!
"How is that possible!?"
Xiao Huohuo stared at the empty space and spoke in disbelief:
"How could it not exist? Judging from the shape of this blue lotus, the Green Lotus Core Flame should have been born long ago!!!!"
Xiao Huohuo gradually became hoarse and exhausted, and the expression on his face became somewhat ferocious.
The thing he had been dreaming of was right before his eyes, something he had been searching for for so long, but now he was told it was nothing but an empty shell!
Such a blow caused Xiao Huohuo's body to tremble slightly with excitement!
"Quiet! Calm down!"
At this moment, the Yao Lao's voice was more serious than ever before, and his low growl rang in Xiao Huohuo's ears like the tolling of a bell.
"Why not just stop looking? It's not like this is the only place with Heavenly Flames."
On the Dou Qi Continent, countless people have devoted everything, even their entire lives, to searching for the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flames, but none have ever seen its appearance before they die. Your journey here is already the envy of many.
The Yao Lao spoke softly, his ethereal voice appearing beside Xiao Huohuo. He glanced at the empty lotus platform, a hint of regret in his heart.
Xiao Huohuo was unwilling, but she could only accept the result.
Soon, the Yao Lao's gaze fell on the lotus platform, and he was suddenly stunned.
"What's this?"
With a flick of his illusory hand, Yao Lao Yao Lao sent a streak of seven-colored light flying out from the lotus platform and landing in his hand.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were stunned when they saw what Yao Lao was holding.
"Scales?"
" Seven-Colored Snake Scale?" The Yao Lao looked at the scale, about half the size of his palm, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"So that's why there's no Green Lotus Core Flame in the lotus! Someone beat me to it!"
The Yao Lao tossed the scales in his hand to Xiao Huohuo and said:
" The Cai Lin —only one person in the entire Jia Ma Empire possesses them."
" Queen Medusa!?"
Xiao Huohuo wasn't stupid; she immediately realized what was happening and said:
"But what does she need the Heavenly Flames for? Could it be that she also wants to absorb Heavenly Flames?"
"Impossible." The Yao Lao shook his head and said:
" Queen Medusa has Snake-People blood flowing through her veins, and her innate attribute is inclined towards yin and cold. She definitely didn't do this to absorb the Heavenly Flames."
"So that means..." Xiao Huohuo's heart couldn't help but start to race again.
"If it really was she who took the Heavenly Flames, we might still have a chance to get it back. But in any case, it seems we have to make a trip to the depths of the Tagor Desert."
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Huohuo's face also showed a hint of fear:
"Go directly to Queen Medusa? She's a Dou Emperor Dou Emperor- level powerhouse! And she was able to seal Hai Bodong, who was also a Dou Huang, down to the Dou Ling level. She's probably one of the most terrifying among Dou Emperor."
So what?
The Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Huohuo and said:
"Anyway, I'll be the one making the move, not you. Having a target is better than running around aimlessly."
Besides, although Queen Medusa's fearsome reputation and beauty are well-known throughout the continent, at least I am not afraid of her.
"Well..."
Xiao Huohuo sighed and nodded. There was nothing else they could do now. Then, she exchanged a glance with Xiao Yan, and the two turned to leave.
What are you doing?
The Yao Lao looked at the two of them with some doubt.
"Go back! Or are you going to stay here and eat lava like the Fire Spirit Snake?"
Having just missed out on the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Huohuo was inevitably a little disappointed and replied somewhat irritably.
"You guys are... idiots!"
The Yao Lao looked at the two with a hint of disappointment, pointed to the blue lotus, and said:
"This thing is a rare treasure that takes a thousand years to form, and you just left it here like that?"
"Ah?"
Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were both taken aback:
What's the use of this thing?
Seeing the two men staring wide-eyed in disbelief, the Yao Lao took a deep breath and said to them:
"This Green Lotus Platform was formed by the fire of the earth over a thousand years. If you take it apart and sit on it during your cultivation, your cultivation speed will easily increase three or four times."
Moreover, when facing an enemy, you can release it and use your Dou Qi to unleash the hidden earth fire within. Even if you can't defeat Dou Ling level enemy, they can't stop you from leaving.
Not to mention, the lotus seeds here are the Earth Fire Lotus Seed, known as the essence of Fire Spirit, with only one seed produced every hundred years. Even Dou Huang expert would be tempted by them.
Each of these things could cause chaos in the Jia Ma Empire, and yet you don't want any of them?
As the Yao Lao explained, their eyes gradually lit up.
Xiao Huohuo then moved closer to the Yao Lao in a show of goodwill and said:
"Teacher, you're so kind! How do we collect these wonderful things?"
Watching Xiao Huohuo's antics, Yao Lao sighed slightly, took out a jade ruler from his Storage Ring, handed it to Xiao Huohuo, and said:
"Use this jade ruler to cut the part of the lotus flower that connects to its stem."
Following the Yao Lao's instructions, Xiao Huohuo saw the perfect blue lotus, like a work of art, fall off.
After removing the green lotus, Xiao Huohuo's gaze fell upon the root that was still frantically absorbing the surrounding fire-attribute energy. He licked his lips and said with a smile:
"Teacher, this root is also a good thing, right? How do we extract it? Is it still by cutting it?"
"No."
The Yao Lao shook his head and said to Xiao Huohuo:
"Remember this: these spiritual objects that take thousands of years to form should be left with some protection. Although you took the Azure Lotus this time, it can be nurtured and re-emerged given another thousand years."
But if you take away this root as well, I'm afraid this Green Lotus Core Flame will be completely eradicated.
The Yao Lao sighed and continued speaking to Xiao Huohuo:
"In the Medicine Realm, the most infuriating thing to do when harvesting spiritual objects or herbs is to destroy their roots and stems, since the conditions for the formation of spiritual objects are extremely difficult."
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan and Xiao Huohuo were both somewhat surprised, and then they kept them in mind.
Returning to the Yao Lao, he took out twelve lotus seeds from the green lotus.
"Twelve lotus seeds, not bad. Also, try not to expose this green lotus except for cultivation, to avoid causing unnecessary disputes."
The Yao Lao handed one of the Green Lotus Seed to Xiao Yan and said:
"This stuff has miraculous effects on fire-attribute cultivators. Try absorbing it."
Xiao Yan nodded gently, took the lotus seed and swallowed it, and the familiar flame power erupted within his body.
"Puff!"
Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames Martial Soul suddenly appeared, and Xiao Yan could feel that the power emanating from his Martial Soul seemed to be even more surging.
Moreover, the Soul Power within his body seemed to have increased significantly.
"It works!"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, three more Green Lotus Seed were handed over.
Xiao Yan swallowed it again, and the energy in the surrounding magma slowly gathered towards his location.
Although it was merely a Martial Soul clone, the oppressive aura it exuded was steadily increasing.
After a while, Xiao Yan had absorbed all three Green Lotus Seed. Seeing Xiao Huohuo offer him another Green Lotus Seed, Xiao Yan waved his hand and said:
"It seems I've reached some kind of bottleneck. The Green Lotus Seed I just absorbed will probably be of great use to me, but I'll have to wait until I return to my original body to know the specifics."
Upon hearing Xiao Huohuo put away the rest of the Green Lotus Seed.
With Xiao Yan and the others gone, the depths of the earth returned to silence.
