75: Chapter 34 Volcanic Eruption

"Damn it, these thieves actually dare to suddenly attack and kill!"

"Brothers, kill!" Seeing that things couldn't end peacefully, dozens of Cultivators didn't say a word and attacked the four of them in unison!

Chen Xuan sneered: "Seeking death!"

Xiao Ye: "What's the point of talking to these demonic heretics! Charge together!"

The four moved immediately, facing several Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators with no pressure at all.

Sect Disciples' mana, Magic Treasures, and techniques all crushed ordinary Loose Cultivators and ordinary Cultivation Family Disciples.

Chen Xuan and Xiao Muting turned into sword light and scattered, and in almost the blink of an eye, they killed everyone.

"A bunch of rabble, running out to pick a fight." The few of them didn't blush or skip a beat.

In the distant marketplace, the masked man asked in confusion: "Why hasn't the message come back yet?"

After Chen Xuan and the others finished them off, they divided the spoils and once again fiercely despised the low-level Loose Cultivators.

Then, they began to contemplate the Shadowless Legacy.

Soon, Chen Xuan and Xiao Muting were both immersed in enlightenment, their Sword Intent surging.

Liu Lili also gradually entered a flow state, contemplating rapidly.

Only Xiao Ye had a bitter expression; none of these three were worse than him, and they had all nearly reached enlightenment.

And he found it hard to even achieve ordinary comprehension.

Thinking of this, he only felt despair.

Looking at the early warning Formation they had set up, he forced himself to calm his mind.

...

"Still not back, that shouldn't be right. There are only four Cultivators, and among them are two early-stage Cultivators. We have over ten people; it should be a crushing victory." The masked Cultivator narrowed his eyes, looking at the dried bones he had killed in the marketplace behind him.

"Can't wait any longer." He snapped his fingers, and the people in the marketplace all died suddenly!

Black bugs flew out from their crowns, and finally burrowed into the masked man's crown.

His aura was no longer hidden: Half-step Foundation Establishment.

By utilizing the Gu, he could unleash Foundation Establishment combat power for a short time, even though he had not stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm himself.

...

One day later, Chen Xuan opened his eyes.

He understood the Shadowless Sword Legacy completely, and his cultivation had also advanced to the mid-to-Late Stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining following this enlightenment.

He was only one step away from Late-stage Qi Refining.

So young.

As the others finished one after another, they looked at the stone tablet of Shadowless Sword Intent and bowed in tribute.

"Formless, shadowless, and leaving no trace." Liu Lili looked at the distant mountains and sighed with emotion: "This trip can be considered a Perfection; obtaining this Legacy brings hope for the Golden Core."

Only then did she look at Chen Xuan and hand over a Jade Slip.

"What I promised you."

It was the information collected by the Central Province Liu Clan regarding fire spirit qi.

Chen Xuan took it and scanned it with his Divine Sense.

In the continuous Nanming Volcano, there was a great deal of fire spirit qi, but most of it was deep within the lava, which ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators could not harvest.

Only by using the Fire Avoidance Technique and corresponding Magic Talismans could one harvest it.

However, Chen Xuan was naturally well-prepared.

In his previous life, he had planned for a long time but never obtained it.

In this life, because the Nanming Volcano erupted, there was an abundance of it.

It was also Destiny.

"Let's go. Once we collect the fire spirit qi, our trip to the Southern Border will be over."

"What about the Strange Fire?" Xiao Ye asked.

"Do you have any leads?"

Chen Xuan knew he was anxious; this kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure required Opportunity.

Just like the fire spirit qi, Chen Xuan had spent a lifetime waiting for it.

"I actually do."

As he spoke, Xiao Ye took out a map. On it were continuous mountains, which was indeed the Nanming Volcano.

And in a uniquely situated location, a flame symbol was glowing.

"Where did you get that?" Xiao Muting asked.

Chen Xuan and Liu Lili also looked over at the same time.

Xiao Ye scratched his head and said slowly: "A black market treasure map."

Everyone was speechless.

This scroll looked somewhat ancient, but most things in the black market were scams.

Many people deliberately aged parchment scrolls to swindle profits.

So even if it looked very authentic, it was very likely a trap.

"Let's harvest it first and then talk." Chen Xuan said.

The group nodded and immediately flew into the mountains.

After the eruption, even in the air, one could smell the pungent sulfur.

Black volcanic ash was everywhere, and at the crater were white fumes and churning lava.

Chen Xuan immediately verified the location, and sure enough, he found two clusters of fire spirit qi in a patch of lava.

He and Xiao Muting each collected one.

Then they couldn't help but sigh: No wonder the bounty could stay up for so long.

The appearance of this thing really relied too much on the right time and place.

"Then our trip is over. Let's go to the marketplace and prepare to return to the Liuyang Sword Sect." A long time had passed.

Chen Xuan and the others had applied for the journey in advance; calculating the time, it was about time.

It was time to go home; perhaps they could even catch the early year.

Plus, the auction time of the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce was also approaching.

The group immediately cast their movement techniques, sighing at the scenery and culture of the Southern Border.

It was completely different from the Liuyang Sword Sect in the east and the boundless Long Sea.

Just then, a pillar of fire shot into the sky.

Blazing magma flew ten thousand meters into the sky; the Nanming Volcano had erupted!

That vast, world-destroying aura spread out.

Strange Fire!

"It's a Strange Fire!" Liu Lili was surprised.

Xiao Ye hurriedly took out the treasure map.

The location of the pillar of light overlapped with the treasure map, and his hands trembled in surprise:

"Perhaps, he didn't lie to me."

But just at this moment, a figure appeared behind them.

Wearing a mask, with snakes, insects, birds, and beasts painted all over his body, he was truly strange.

His sharp voice seemed completely isolated from the Nanming Volcano under their feet, appearing exceptionally awkward:

"Want to leave?"
