Hiding in the Distortion

How are you feeling?

The first priority for the Void Furnace is obviously to investigate the lair of the explorers in the North Rehe to see if they can obtain the Flame Immortal.

But this is not something that a virtual furnace can achieve immediately.

After obtaining a fire crystal and adjusting his body, he earnestly used the power of the fire seed on everyone.

Steam Shengteng from many of the people, and they all appeared to have lost weight.

But the dissipation of sluggishness was clearly not just about weight; everyone could feel the strong and enduring power within their bodies.

As if freed from their burdens, they could run further and possessed a greater potential. Zhang Manqian, who was in the Fourth Sequence, could even sense the approach of the Fifth Sequence.

Sequence locks and sparks each have their own merits. The former fills the gaps in the rules of Gene Sequence, while the latter fills the gaps in Gene Sequence in areas such as gene drugs. It can refine their genetic bloodline and prevent them from lacking the stamina to become mere shells when entering high sequences.

"That's amazing! I feel like my body has an inexhaustible source of strength!"

Li Yingbo gave a thumbs-up and praised repeatedly.

He looked at the trembling Xu Lu, knowing full well that Xu Lu's body was severely damaged and that he had only gone all out to save face.

Qinmeng's attempt to refine Zhang Xuezhou using the virtual furnace failed. Threatened by Zhang Xuezhou, Qin Mengzhong then used a fire seed to melt Ren Yisheng, risking his life in the process.

This test implies that the higher one's spiritual strength, the more difficult it is for the flame of the virtual furnace to exert its effect.

And coincidentally, this group of people had made pretty good progress in Mental Strengthening, and their overall strength was extremely balanced.

The furnace repeatedly used the power of fire to melt the bloodlines of many people, barely managing to complete the task.

Looking at the dull fire crystal in Xu Lu's palm, Li Yingbo couldn't help but quickly estimate and calculate the number of people Xu Lu could still help, and who those people should be involved.

"My physical fitness seems to have improved a lot," Ren Anran said happily.

"You... you..."

Xu Lu pointed a finger at Ren Anran.

His performance almost went wrong, and he stumbled because of Ren Anran.

If Ren Anran resists or tries to expel his power, Xu Lu feels that his own fire seed is difficult to erode, and there is even a possibility that it will be sealed inside Zhang Xuezhou's body.

"Is she a guard by your king's side?"

Xu Lu pointed at Ren Anran, then turned to Zhang Xuezhou for a question.

"Her father is," Zhang Xuezhou said, shaking his head.

"Her father!"

Xu Lu belatedly realized that Zhang Xuezhou was likely the son of Huang Daotu'er's bodyguard.

The emergence of one young master after another who could rival him made Xu Lu's attitude increasingly cautious.

After all, if these rich and powerful young men could be raised so well, it's quite normal that their fathers were more capable than Zhou Xin.

Their different cultivation paths allow the Void Furnace to benefit many people, but this does not mean that these people are incompetent without the Void Furnace.

Based on Xu Lu's knowledge, Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Anran, and others he knew were quite strong. If they could be guided properly, they would surely unleash tremendous power, and their strength would not be inferior to Zhou Xin's.

"If her father knew that An Ran had received favors from you, he would be very happy, and might even recommend you to meet our King!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at Ren Yisheng, whose face was full of satisfaction, and then considerately pushed the alloy box containing the fire crystals next to the Void Furnace.

"I'm fine. We should use this thing sparingly," the Void Furnace said, exhaling a puff of scalding steam. "I'm still not quite used to this fragile body. I feel powerless when using the fire seed. I just hope I can adjust it properly in the future!"

"Just let us know if you need anything!"

Zhang Xuezhou patted his chest in agreement and gestured to the others, who then chimed in with their own words of agreement.

"Thank you so much, thank you everyone!"

Xu Lu bowed deeply in respect.

If he did not attain immortality here, he hoped that in the future he could be beaten like Zhou Xin, and fly like Zhang Xuezhou.

At this moment, the guarantees from many people undoubtedly gave Xu Lu a backup plan. He was somewhat enthusiastic about the immortality he had unexpectedly sought, but he was also sure that his mentality would not be too bad after he found nothing. After all, the probability of accidentally depriving someone of immortality was too low, so low that Xu Lu had little hope.

If it weren't for the fact that this exploration site was right beneath their feet, a journey that would take three to five days, or the existence of even one competitor, Xu Lu wouldn't bother getting involved in such a low-probability event.

Having formed cliques and built relationships, Xu Lu felt much more at ease.

He also looked at the data on the Sinkhole No. 2 that everyone had taken out of their homes, which included the original landform of North Rehe, the terrain after the massive explosion, and the explosion debris specimens initially obtained by various research institutes.

Even the best-preserved Sinkhole No. 2 will change over time, let alone the fact that this area was abandoned after more than ten years of research.

The Sinkhole No. 2 in the data looks almost completely different from what it looks like now, which made Xu Lu constantly compare it with the video being played and also constantly observe the actual site.

"Look closely here!"

Filming conditions were limited in the past, but the equipment used for key research was almost the best available at the time.

When photographic equipment is insufficient, actual survey drawings serve as an alternative reference.

As he continued flipping through the files in the video, a hint of excitement crept into his gaze as he pointed to something.

"Where is the original manuscript?" Zhang Xuezhou asked quickly.

"I brought the original manuscript too!"

Qin Wenhan responded and quickly opened the original manuscript box provided by the Zhu Household.

The Zhu Household has control over the novel and film industries, and also possesses top-notch painting talent. Their artwork is more realistic than the clearest visual recording equipment available today.

This illustration also incorporates the artist's own perspective, which differs somewhat from photography using normal equipment.

That's the shadow cast by the pebbles, and the mapping varies depending on the sunlight.

"Given the change in lighting, this shadow should normally appear at this angle!"

The illusory furnace pointed to the sun in the sky, and then to the shadow in the area of rubble, indicating that this shadow should not be at this angle.

"You mean the shadow was distorted?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.

"Indeed, this place must have been distorted during the dimensional fall, causing the abnormal light and shadow phenomena," Void Furnace said confidently. "His Void Stone base should be hidden in this distorted area!"

"Can we go in?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in surprise.

"It's very difficult for a physical body to enter; it would be twisted into an irregular shape and die. Only non-material energy bodies are suitable for passing through the distortion," the Void Furnace said smugly. "For example, if I transform into flames, I might be able to enter. In this aspect of exploration, it has an unparalleled advantage!"

"You're amazing!"

Zhang Xuezhou praised repeatedly, then glanced at Ren Anran.

The term "virtual furnace" means that no physical body can penetrate into the distortion. The flames of the virtual furnace belong to this category, and the Yang Corporeal Soul is clearly also a kind of non-material energy in an alternative sense.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the past few days Taicang. If he could spend ten days or half a month practicing the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique in Emperor Luo Taizong's palace, Zhang Xuezhou felt that he could at least create a complete form and then infiltrate it to investigate.

Although the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique can be mastered quickly by utilizing the Spiritual Qi environment, this quick mastery is relative to the cultivation time of other Technique Method, and cannot be achieved simply by pouring in Spiritual Qi.

No matter what, Spiritual Qi can only be transformed into Law Power without any consequences, thus continuously accumulating the Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation Technique. The cultivation process is not without its challenges.

Zhang Xuezhou's aptitude in cultivation is only average. It will take him a long time to reach the level of creating Yang Corporeal Soul Incarnation, which is not something that can be achieved overnight.

This situation is somewhat similar to how he can quickly create sequence locks for people, but even if Li Yingbo and others have sufficient resources, it would still take them a relatively long time to reach the level of skill he can achieve in such a short time.

"I'll go in and check it out too!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Ren Anran exchanged a single glance, and they understood the message they were conveying.

Before he could even speak, Ren Anran had already agreed.

"She can do it too?"

Xu Lu was taken aback. He saw Ren Anran sit down and point to the center of her forehead. A Ren Anran wearing golden armor appeared in front of him.
