311: Birthplace! (Second update, please give me a monthly ticket)

At this moment, inside the giant volcano, magma boiled like fire, the entire mountain was burned red, and the entire General Mountain was like a giant Heaven and Earth Furnace.

"Whoosh"

A brilliant fiery glow flew out from it, shooting directly above where Chen Yuan was.

Chen Yuan grabbed it from a distance, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he saw a fist-sized scarlet fire crystal appear in his hand, filled with a rich fire essence.

He squeezed it hard in his hand, the crystal shattered, and a misty fiery Qi surged out. Chen Yuan inhaled sharply, drawing this fiery glow into his Dantian, and his pupils brightened slightly.

There were no Impurities!

He had a guess that this scarlet fire crystal was likely the accompanying stone of that Fire Phoenix Spiritual Root, and there might be a large scarlet fire crystal mine underground.

He opened the Golden vertical eye between his brows, then without another word, his body transformed into a golden stream of fire, plummeting like a meteor into the rolling black smoke-filled volcano, submerging into the scorching red magma.

Hearing from his subordinates that the true spirit manifestation of the Qi Luck Spiritual Root had disappeared, Chen Yuan guessed it must be hidden somewhere nearby. Since the fire pulse beneath this General Mountain was its birthplace, the chances were not small!

When Chen Yuan plunged into the scorching magma, a layer of golden flame suddenly swirled out, isolating the terrifying high temperature capable of forging gold and melting iron. His Dharma Eye's golden light flowed, surveying the surroundings, capturing any clues.

In the magma, the rich fire essence was more than ten times stronger than outside. Even if Chen Yuan did not actively absorb it, wisps of hot Qi entered his limbs and bones through his pores, transforming into trickling hot currents that flowed into his Dantian with the circulation of his body.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yuan felt his heart warming. In the flowing light of his eyes, the progress bar of his Heart God Treasury, which was originally nonexistent, began to manifest on its own, throbbing slightly. In normal Cultivation, the Five God Treasuries require vast amounts of Five Elements essence from heaven and earth to slowly open the Five Meridians, and finally, kick open the profound gate of the God Treasury, thus opening it. This Cultivation process is five times slower than ordinary Cultivation and often requires years to calculate the time needed.

Chen Yuan's ability to open the Wood Treasury in such a short time, besides the abundant essence given by the Dragon Qi Mother Tree, also involved spending several thousand Luck points to quickly pass the profound gate. This almost depleted his savings, showing how massive the essence required to open a God Treasury is.

Without enough Luck points, he had not even considered touching the second God Treasury so quickly. Moreover, with the first God Treasury already having the Dragon Qi Mother Tree as its divine platform, the divine platform for the second God Treasury would certainly need to be perfect.

Unexpectedly, the fire essence here was so pure and rich that it was like being force-fed, causing the Heart God Treasury to begin manifesting on its own.

Chen Yuan did not dwell on this. Instead, he confirmed in his heart that this item was 100% a new Qi Luck Spiritual Root, and its maturity was higher. The anomaly it displayed was much more divine than the Dragon Qi Mother Tree, making this birthplace a true treasure land.

His Heart Treasury felt a bit hot, and so did his heart. If he could obtain this second Qi Luck Spiritual Root, he would certainly follow the same method and forge it into the divine platform for his Heart God Treasury. This was a timely Opportunity, and there would be more and more Opportunities in the future, so wouldn't he also have a chance for all Five God Treasuries?

Chen Yuan's thoughts drifted a bit far. He shook his head, feeling somewhat fanciful, then his gaze became firm, and he cast aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Then, he suddenly looked up, and a dazzling golden light shot out from his Dharma Eye between his brows, piercing through the magma and roaring upwards, tearing open the black smoke-filled sky as if opening the heavens.

The golden pillar of light soared to the sky, then scattered with a boom, and a golden light curtain enveloped General Mountain, forming a Restriction!

Immediately after, within General Mountain, a domineering and cold voice echoed out.

"Block off a fifty-li radius!"

"Go quickly to Jinguancheng to mobilize troops!"

Two commands were issued, reverberating in the sky.

Regarding the Qi Luck Spiritual Root, Chen Yuan preferred to make the situation grander rather than miss any Opportunity.

The commotion here could not be hidden, and the various unsavory characters from Jinguancheng should arrive soon.

As the two orders were given,

Below General Mountain, whistles sounded, followed by the voices of orderlies rapidly spreading into the distance.

"General's Order!"

"Block off a fifty-li radius!"

"Go to Jinguancheng to mobilize troops!"

...

Having done all this, Chen Yuan concentrated his mind and continued to descend. During this process, streams of fiery glow occasionally erupted from deeper within the magma.

Those were pure scarlet fire crystals of various shapes and sizes!

These were all things that could assist the Fire God Treasury.

Chen Yuan thought, since he was already here, he wouldn't let anything go, and he continued to descend while taking everything he could.

When he descended nearly five hundred zhang, the color of the surrounding magma had begun to change, turning light blue. Its temperature had reached an extremely terrifying level; even with his Golden Core True Fire, he felt an intense heat.

He continued to descend, enduring the high temperature. When the magma turned sky blue, the Golden Core True Fire on Chen Yuan's body began to lose most of its effect, and the sky-blue flames caused a burning sensation on his crystal-clear, jade-like skin.

As he continued to descend, finally, when he reached a depth of one thousand three hundred zhang, Chen Yuan finally stopped. At this point, the magma had turned deep blue, and below his line of sight was an eerie, purple sea of fire!

At this time, the surrounding temperature had already caused his crystal-clear, jade-like Physical Body to blister and peel, but Chen Yuan had the strong vitality of the Dragon Qi Mother Tree to support him. His skin would burn and peel off, and new skin would quickly grow, so he hadn't suffered any real damage yet.

But he was sure that if he descended further, the purple sea of fire below would definitely be even more troublesome, and he would probably need to use his Primordial Spirit Dharma Form to persevere.

His expression became somewhat strange. How could the magma here be so terrifying?

With his Physical Body strength, and the enhancements from the Dragon Qi Mother Tree and Golden Core True Fire, calculating it, excluding the height of the mountain, he had only descended a thousand meters below General Mountain.

And now, he still hadn't found any clues about the Qi Luck Spiritual Root. The accompanying scarlet fire crystal he had guessed was still erupting below, indicating that he hadn't reached the bottom yet.

Upon reflection, he had underestimated the terror of the Qi Luck Spiritual Root's birthplace. Indeed, a heavenly treasure like the Qi Luck Spiritual Root, born of heaven and earth, must have extremely stringent birth conditions. He had not spent much effort obtaining the Dragon Qi Mother Tree before, which, as the Huanlong Clan said, was likely because the Dragon Qi Mother Tree was still a seedling at that time, and its own divine properties had not yet manifested, allowing him to stumble upon a great Opportunity.

Just as he was pondering how to cross the magma abyss below, a hint of probing flashed in his eyes. He flipped his hand, and a foot-long, fiery red leaf appeared in his hand.

When this Sycamore leaf appeared, a dazzling fiery glow immediately bloomed in the magma, then transformed into a ten-foot-long fiery feather. Strangely, when this fiery feather appeared, the terrifying high temperature around them instantly disappeared.

"So that's how it is!" Chen Yuan rejoiced.

This leaf was from that Qi Luck Spiritual Root, and this was its birthplace.

Immediately, Chen Yuan's body rapidly descended, disappearing from his original spot.
