章 34: Chapter 34: Green Lotus Core Flame
Noticing this phenomenon, Wei Yang frowned slightly.
"No wonder this place, capable of nurturing Otherworldly Flames, is considered a forbidden life zone. The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake survives here due to its strong physique and innate talent. But for me, I have to continuously expend Dou Qi to isolate myself from the terrifying external heat."
Sensing that the person he held was somewhat tense, Wei Yang tightened his grip around her.
In such a silent and terrifying environment where almost all five senses were stripped away, even Wei Yang, not to mention the little girl, felt somewhat anxious.
They could hardly perceive the exact flow of time, only knowing that during this continuous dive, time seemed to stretch infinitely.
By now, Wei Yang's Dou Qi had been consumed by nearly forty percent.
This level of consumption was approaching a dangerous threshold.
It was also nearing the limits of Wei Yang's mental endurance.
Because he must ensure he has enough Dou Qi for the return journey and to handle any unexpected events.
"Diving deeper and deeper, even the lava outside has started to turn green..." Wei Yang thought to himself.
It goes without saying that the external temperature must be frighteningly high.
The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake carried the two of them, its body swimming through the lava that had almost completely turned green.
Wei Yang's expression became increasingly grave.
Seeing the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake still diving, he was ready to make it suffer at any moment.
At the same time, he couldn't help but think how fortunate Xiao Yan from the original work was. As even a Dou Ling felt so pressured, if not for Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame protecting him, Xiao Yan, with his mere Dou Shi cultivation, would have turned to ash here.
Wei Yang lowered his head, staring intently at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, eyes narrowing with a glimmer of dangerous cold light flickering occasionally.
He couldn't help but wonder if this beast was tricking him.
...
Just then.
The diving movement of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake suddenly stopped.
Wei Yang was taken aback and followed the beast's gaze to look ahead.
Immediately, his eyes focused intensely.
Not far ahead, there was an area where the blue light shone brilliantly.
The blue light enveloped this portion of magma. Upon closer inspection, Wei Yang could faintly see a blue lotus within the light, swaying gently and blossoming in this endless magma world.
It's it!
Wei Yang's heart immediately surged with excitement.
The Heart Flame of the Blue Lotus!
Ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Rankings, born deep beneath the earth, within the earth's core lava.
Tempered, fused, compressed, and sculpted countless times by the fire of the earth...
It takes ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to form, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it fully matures, its color turns a slight blue, taking the form of a lotus.
The heart of the lotus bears a cluster of blue flames, known as the Blue Lotus Flame, also called the Heart Flame of the Blue Lotus.
This flame possesses unpredictable power, capable of triggering volcanic eruptions in nearby volcanic areas!
Creating the destructive force of nature!
Thoughts about the Heart Flame of the Blue Lotus flashed through Wei Yang's mind. He slowly got up, holding the person in his arms.
Even with his usually stable composure, suddenly seeing such a heavenly treasure made him uncontrollably ecstatic.
Finally, it was found!
"Brother Yang, is this the Otherworldly Flame you mentioned? It's so beautiful..." Ye Xian'er was also extremely shocked, murmuring.
Hiss~
Below, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake let out a sharp hissing sound from its mouth.
Looking down, Wei Yang could clearly see a trace of fear in its four snake eyes as it gazed at the cluster of blue light, its huge body even shivering slightly.
Clearly, it had suffered before.
As a fire attribute magical beast, it had naturally coveted this Otherworldly Flame.
However, once ignorant of its potency, when it attempted to approach and swallow this Otherworldly Flame...
Heh, did you think you were Medusa?
Even Medusa couldn't withstand it.
Its inherent power was enough to rival a Dou Huang expert.
If swallowed abruptly into the body without any preparation, even a Dou Zong couldn't withstand it.
The Heart Flame of the Blue Lotus, with just a casual release of its power, wasn't something a Tier 4 being like it could bear.
That the beast survived was considered fortunate.
...
Ignoring the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake's abnormality, Wei Yang lowered his head and said to Ye Xian'er, "Xian'er, wait for me here."
"Okay, Brother Yang, be careful." Xian'er nodded, obediently leaving his embrace, circulating her own Dou Qi as a shield.
With her strength, sustaining for a moment was not difficult.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Wei Yang's lips curled into a smile, then his figure moved, leaving the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and slowly approaching that blue light.
Eventually, he entered it.
When Wei Yang's body entered the area covered by the blue light, the ambient temperature mysteriously decreased.
He paid no attention to this, his gaze fixed entirely on the center of the blue light, staring at the blue lotus.
The blue lotus had eight petals, each petal like the most perfectly carved piece of blue jade, exuding an innate sense of wholesomeness.
At first glance, it was lustrous and transparent, making one feel an irresistible attraction.
Within the lotus lay a lotus platform about three feet in diameter.
At the center of this platform, a blue flame the size of a palm burned quietly, flickering.
And around the lotus platform, there were some holes emitting flecks of blue fluorescence, presumably the lotus seeds nurtured by the platform.
There were eleven in total.
It might sound a bit laughable, but they were actually Wei Yang's main target this time.
The Heart Flame of the Blue Lotus had instead become secondary in his heart.
His gaze moved down.
Below the blue lotus, some slender roots grew, stretching over a dozen meters long.
And on these roots, countless small tentacles were densely packed.
As these tentacles swayed, Wei Yang could clearly sense them greedily absorbing the violent fire elemental energy from the surrounding magma.
Such divine creations by nature are mesmerizing, a testament to the extraordinary craftsmanship of the natural world.
Wei Yang stared at the exquisite blue lotus in front of him, showing a hint of fascination in his eyes.
Moments later, he snapped out of it.
With a flip of his hand, he took out a crystalline small jade ruler from his storage ring.
He had specifically prepared this before coming.
In the future, when encountering high-grade medicinal materials or rare treasures, it could be used.
This jade ruler would prevent damage to their roots.
Heaven bestows, one may take.
Yet, when gathering herbs, leaving the roots intact is customary!
One should leave a sliver of life and not be ruthless.
Holding the jade ruler, Wei Yang cautiously avoided the surrounding small swaying roots and tendrils, slowly approaching the blue lotus.
Unleashing a powerful soul force, he enveloped the lotus within it, forming a barrier that completely sealed its energy fluctuations.
Then, at the bottom of the lotus seat, where it connected with the roots, he gently sliced through with the jade ruler.
Instantly, this perfect, almost artistic blue lotus was smoothly plucked by Wei Yang, held in his palm.
Stowing away the jade ruler, Wei Yang carefully cradled the blue lotus in both hands, a hint of an excited smile on his face as he gazed at the quiet blue flame burning within the central hole of the lotus platform.
