Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 493: Chapter 224: Golden Core Dao · Divine Three Flowers (Part 3)

”This time, standing close to the magma lake for the first time, I realized that this is truly a treasure land.”

The Snow Wolf King in front of the three of them had quietly released its divine sense, feeling quite surprised.

Since the Great Witch Mountain occupied the Western Wilderness, it had never explored this direction, and no one anticipated such a strange place existing on the edge of Yangnao Land.

Demon Beasts are naturally more sensitive to the forces of heaven and earth.

This is why there are always powerful Demon Beasts guarding many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Spirit Crystals, and Spirit Ores.

As a Great Demon at the Fetal Breathing Perfection Realm, the Snow Wolf King felt the extraordinary nature of this place as soon as it landed.

It’s a pity that he himself is not a fire attribute Demon Cultivator; otherwise, he would really want to stay here.

”Stay here and don’t run around.”

”Snow Wolf King, protect them well.”

Shen Wen’an, holding a bronze lamp, glanced at the magma lake, gave his instructions, and then summoned his Protective Sword Essence, diving headfirst into the scorching magma.

As soon as his body sank into the magma lake, he distinctly felt a sense of excitement from the Separation Fire Flame within the bronze lamp.

A large amount of molten lava’s fire qi flowed through the Sword Element Shield, slowly converging toward the Separation Fire Flame inside the bronze lamp.

Visibly to the naked eye, the flame, originally the size of a soybean, began to burn more vigorously.

It truly worked; finally, no more need to nourish it with Spirit Crystals.

Watching this scene, Shen Wen’an let out a deep sigh of relief.

Since returning from Danzhou until now, in over three months, the Separation Fire Flame had already consumed over a hundred Spirit Crystals.

If this magma lake did not meet the requirements, he would have had to give up nurturing this thing.

Otherwise, with the Shen Family’s current resources, it would only take a few years for them to be drained by a small flame.

But seeing the Separation Fire Flame burn more vigorously, even the temperature of the surrounding magma had noticeably decreased.

A thought suddenly flashed in Shen Wen’an’s mind.

He recalled the peculiar stone he discovered while forging the Sword Bone Magical Sword in this magma lake.

At the time, he had already descended to the limit he could withstand and found a massive rock, unaffected by the terrifying high temperatures, deeper in the magma with his divine sense.

Unfortunately, the magma temperature around the rock was too high, and his strength at the time was insufficient to endure it.

Now, with his cultivation having improved to Fetal Breathing Perfection, and with the Separation Fire Flame absorbing the surrounding heat,

Shen Wen’an felt a strong desire to explore further.

Holding the bronze lamp, he continued to dive, the magma around him gradually shifting from orange-red to gold.

In this golden magma, occasionally streams of flame with a white glow would drift past.

However, these white flames, feeling the aura of the Separation Fire Flame, seemed to have consciousness, quickly fleeing from Shen Wen’an’s location.

Witnessing this, Shen Wen’an felt deeply curious.

He had a hunch.

Those white flames were either some terrifying creature or, like innate spiritual qi, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects.

Only this could explain why they would actively avoid the aura of the Separation Fire Flame.

Shen Wen’an did not rashly approach those white flames.

He continued to dive while holding the bronze lamp.

This time he could sense that the surrounding magma had a much lesser impact on the Protective Sword Essence.

He soon reached the depth where he had forged the Sword Bone Magical Sword. After a careful assessment, he found that his Sword Essence could still hold on, so without hesitation, Shen Wen’an delved further into the depths of the magma.

The golden magma around him no longer felt viscous as before; instead, it flowed swiftly like river water.

Shen Wen’an realized this was because the surrounding temperature had become even more terrifying.

As he continued his descent, a completely pitch-black gigantic sphere suddenly appeared amidst the surrounding golden magma!

This sphere was indeed the mysterious giant stone his divine sense detected years ago!

With the bronze lamp in hand, Shen Wen’an cautiously approached the giant stone and, upon close inspection, realized the stone was about eleven to twelve zhang tall and nearly seven zhang wide, looking like a massive stone egg, quietly suspended in the golden magma.

The surface of the stone egg was uneven, entirely black, with a faint metallic sheen.

Shen Wen’an leaned closer and gently touched the surface of the stone egg, startled by a bizarre and chilling sensation!

This object had been sitting at the bottom of the magma lake for countless ages.

Even if it didn’t melt, always being wrapped in the terrifying golden magma, it shouldn’t feel this chilling to the touch.

”What on earth is this thing?”

Shen Wen’an pondered to himself, placing his palm back on the surface of the stone egg, attempting to infiltrate it with his divine sense to see what’s inside.

However, as soon as his divine sense touched the surface, it was repelled by a mysterious force.

It seemed that the surface of the stone egg possessed some power that could block a cultivator’s divine sense.

Divine sense couldn’t penetrate it...

Shen Wen’an hesitated slightly, then drew out the Dragon-Slaying Magical Sword.

After a brief pause, he swung the Dragon-Slaying Sword fiercely at the stone egg!

Clang!

A dull metallic thud echoed!

The Dragon-Slaying Sword was deflected, but the stone egg’s surface bore not the slightest mark!

Seeing this, Shen Wen’an felt defeated.

It’s extremely hard, and divine sense can’t penetrate it.

For now, there’s nothing he can do about this thing.

After examining the stone egg for a little longer, he could only resign himself to letting go.

Holding the bronze lamp, he ascended a bit until the surrounding magma’s temperature seemed moderate, then did as Zhang Qingjing suggested, leaving the bronze lamp and the Separation Fire Flame within it, in the magma.
