Cultivation Begins From The Desert

For an adventure of unknown danger, the more you prepare in advance, the greater the chance of surviving the adventure.

Zhou Yang has experienced many adventures in his life, but there are not many adventures like this one that can be prepared in advance.

And those few adventures were all because of his adequate preparations, so he was able to survive the extremely dangerous situation.

So this time he also attached great importance to preparations.

He has less than three years of preparation time, which is obviously not enough time for him to practice some kind of supernatural power, so all he needs to prepare are various possible items.

Spiritual talismans and pills are naturally the first things that need to be prepared. Sixth-order spiritual talismans and spiritual pills are difficult to buy. Zhou Yang either made them himself or bought them from outside. There are a large number of fire defense charms.

When he was preparing the spirit talisman, he specially selected the jade talisman made of spirit jade.

For the same kind of talisman, a jade talisman made of spirit jade with rich spiritual power is not only more powerful than a talisman made of talisman paper, but also saves the user's mana when used.

Now that Zhou Yang has no shortage of spirit stones and can make talismans by himself, of course he chooses the best ones to use.

Then, considering the need to break the formation restriction, he prepared three sets of formations that might be used. These formations are the trophies he obtained in the past, and there is no need to spend extra spirit stones.

It's just that these pills, talismans, and formations are all conventional aids, and they can't really help him avoid those fatal dangers.

So he went to Yuqing Daozong again, and exchanged a foot of [Wannian Nourishing Soul Wood] from Yulong Daoist for a Yuqing Daozong secret talisman [Taixuhua Spirit Talisman] that he had used once, and then spent another Millions of spirit stones bought a piece of 【Yuqing Xianlu】.

With these two life-saving talismans in his body, Zhou Yang's confidence in this trip has undoubtedly increased a lot.

After everything was ready, he bid farewell to his Taoist companion Xiao Ying, and rushed to the Shenhuo Palace alone to make an appointment.

Originally, according to his promise to Xiao Ying several years ago, he should bring a Taoist partner with him on this adventure.

But this time the situation was very special. Zhou Yang had already sworn in front of Zhao Yuanpu that he would not reveal any specific information. If he brought his Taoist companion Xiao Ying with him, it would be considered a breach of his oath.

In order not to break his oath, he could only say sorry to his Taoist companion again.

Fortunately, Xiao Ying is a sensible and virtuous wife, after knowing his difficulties, she was very sensible and didn't blame him for this matter.

And now that Bi'er, the demon king's maid, is by her side, she is no longer as lonely and boring as before, but she doesn't have to follow Zhou Yang.

Without alarming anyone, Zhou Yang quietly moved into the City Lord's Mansion of Hellfire City.

He waited in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days, and Zhao Yuanpu came to meet him with another fellow monk [Fire Dragon Master].

This is not the first time Zhao Yuanpu and Zhou Yang have met, but it is the first time he has seen that [Fire Dragon Master].

When he looked at the bald old man with a red face, Zhao Yuanpu opened his mouth to introduce the two with a smile on his face.

"Come, come, come, the old man will introduce you to the two fellow Taoists."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, this fellow Daoist is Sun Yucheng, one of the "Three Elders of the South Clouds", Sun Yucheng, who has practiced for two thousand years, and the rare treasure [Fire Dragon Shield] in his hand is famous. You must have heard of it before!"

The so-called "Nanyun Sanlao" refers to the three Nascent Soul cultivators who practiced on a sixth-level spiritual mountain Nanyun Mountain. Although these three people have not established a sect or established a family, they have each received a lot of money. The disciples of the young sect formed a force of their own.

[Fire Dragon Real Man] Sun Yucheng is the head of the three elders, and has the cultivation base of Yuanying's fifth level.

Hearing Zhao Yuanpu's introduction at this time, Zhou Yang's face straightened slightly, and he bowed his hands to the bald old man with a serious look: "Zhou Yang has met Sun Zhenren, this trip is dangerous, please take care of Sun Zhenren."

Seeing this, the bald old man didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he quickly returned the courtesy and said: "You Daoist Zhou is too polite. In front of you, I dare not take care of you. But you Daoist Zhao told me about the battle outside the prison fire city that day." After going through the process, the old man asked himself that he changed places with fellow daoist that day, and he would never be able to get cheap under the hands of fellow daoist Zhao!"

When Zhou Yang heard him mention this, he immediately waved his hands with a wry smile and sighed: "Hey, Master Sun, don't mention this matter again, if Master Zhao hadn't shown mercy that day, Zhou's life would have been lost, how dare he be proud of it. "

"Hahaha, fellow daoists, don't be modest. This trip requires the cooperation of two fellow daoists and Mr. Zhao to help Mr. Zhao bring back the remains and relics of the ancestor of our sect. Mr. Zhao would like to thank the two fellow daoists first. gone."

Zhao Yuanpu laughed, and interrupted the conversation between the two with a smile.

Zhou Yang and [Huolong Daoist] heard his words, they couldn't help but look at each other, then looked at him with smiles and said in unison: "I will live up to the expectations of fellow Daoist Zhao."

"Okay, with the words of two fellow daoists, Zhao is relieved. If the two of you have nothing else to say, let's go now!"

Zhao Yuanpu yelled "Hello" loudly, and when Dang even put forward the words of departure, it seemed that he couldn't wait.

"Zhou has no objection." Zhou Yang said first.

[Fire Dragon Master] also nodded in response: "Sun also fully listened to Zhao Daoyou's orders."

"Good, those two please come with Zhao."

Zhao Yuanpu clapped his hands and smiled, and took the lead to leave Hellfire City.

The three of them set off from Hellfire City, and soon plunged into the wild jungle, heading towards the depths of the wild jungle.

Zhao Yuanpu was obviously familiar with the situation along the way. Zhou Yang and the two followed behind him, and basically they didn't encounter any places that needed to be shot.

Zhao Yuanpu would explain to the two of them in advance those places where there was danger, and lead them to either bypass them, or hide their breath carefully to pass through.

It even included several territories of wild and alien races.

After following Zhao Yuanpu all the way into the wilderness for more than 700,000 miles, the three of them came to a huge surface magma lake in the wilderness jungle.

This magma lake is hundreds of miles long and more than 70 miles wide. The lake is full of dark red magma, and a pungent sulfur smell fills the area thousands of miles around the magma lake. There are even yellow magmas condensed in the sky from time to time. Black sulfuric acid rain clouds, falling with highly corrosive acid rain.

Therefore, there are few signs of life in the hundreds of miles around the magma lake. The lush plants in the wild jungle are completely extinct here, and all the animals are walking around here.

Occasionally, unknown animals enter this place, and before leaving in time, they are easily poisoned to death by the sudden falling acid rain, leaving only a few bones and remains on the ground to prove that they have been here.

High-level monsters and savage beasts are not afraid of the acid rain, but there is nothing but magma on the side of the magma lake, so they naturally don't want to waste time here.

Therefore, even if the three of Zhou Yang appeared above the magma lake without any cover at this moment, no creature came to trouble them.

"Here we are, this is one of the nearest entrances to the cave. We need to go down from here and follow an underground magma channel for hundreds of miles underground before finally reaching the underground magma sea where the cave is located."

Zhao Yuanpu briefly introduced the situation, then opened his mouth and sprayed out a ball of silver-purple flames that turned into a flame veil covering his body, then slightly nodded at Zhou Yang and [Fire Dragon Master] and said: "The old man is here! Lead the way, fellow Taoists, please follow me closely, and don’t get lost below.”

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhao, I'll understand what to do."

[Fire Dragon Master] nodded in response, raised his hand slightly, and a translucent crimson glass cover appeared in his hand.

He threw the glazed cover upwards, and the treasure turned into a transparent flame shield covering himself in it.

This thing is his fame weapon [Fire Dragon Cover].

When it was Zhou Yang's turn, he also followed Zhao Yuanpu's example and recruited a group of [Qianyang True Fire] and turned it into a flame armor to put on his body to isolate the erosion of the magma.

In fact, with the strength of his physical body, even if his physical body touches the magma in this magma lake, there will be no problem.

But those magmas that are located deep underground are not good.

The magma deep underground is not only much hotter than the magma in the surface magma lake, but also contains the poisonous power of earth fire. If Zhou Yang's body is in contact with the magma for a long time, the poisonous power of earth fire will continue to spread. He builds up inside him, destroying his physical foundation.

Plop!

Plop!

Plop!

Following the splash of three magma waves, the three of Zhou Yang quickly disappeared into the magma lake.

The earth fire poisonous evil power in the magma also has a lot of damage to the spiritual consciousness of the monks, it is not necessary, and the three of Zhou Yang will not lose their spiritual consciousness.

Therefore, when advancing in the underground magma, the three of them were all very close, and the two behind them used their pupil skills to observe the figure of Zhao Yuanpu who was leading the way in front, and followed closely behind him.

The underground magma Hanoi will also give birth to some fire-type spiritual objects. When encountering some eye-catching spiritual objects on the road, the three of them will collect them conveniently.

However, spiritual objects that are really useful to monks in the Nascent Soul stage are not so easy to come across.

After traveling hundreds of miles in the underground magma Hanoi, Zhao Yuanpu, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and stopped.

As soon as he stopped, Zhou Yang and [Fire Dragon Master] who followed immediately slowed down and came to him slowly, and then the [Fire Dragon Master] waved his hand, protecting his [Fire Dragon Cover] The strange treasure suddenly became a general, covering both Zhou Yang and Zhao Yuanpu in it.

With this treasure to isolate those magmas, the three of them can talk and communicate with confidence.

I saw Zhao Yuanpu's face turned serious, and he said first: "Two fellow Taoists, be careful, there are still twenty or thirty miles ahead, and we will reach the underground magma sea. Once I enter the underground magma sea, that beast will have a lot of trouble." It is very likely that they will find us and launch a sneak attack on us."

"It would be great if it came to sneak attack. We can just work together to deal with it. I'm afraid that after it finds out that there are three of us, it will hide and play tricks secretly when it realizes that we are invincible. That will be difficult."

[Fire Dragon Master] first glanced at Zhou Yang, and saw that he didn't intend to speak, and then whispered his opinion.

Zhao Yuanpu fought with that strange beast more than once, and he had already figured out the strength and moves of that strange beast.

Although he alone is not the opponent of the strange beast, but if he joins forces with Zhou Yang, he is fully sure to defeat the opponent and drive him away.

[Fire Dragon Real Man] also understands this, so he is so confident.

"What did fellow Daoist Zhou say?"

Zhao Yuanpu looked at Zhou Yang, with a hint of inexplicable expectation in his eyes.

In fact, even he himself didn't know why he had expectations of Zhou Yang, probably because Zhou Yang's blow that day had left a deep impression on him!

"Sun Daoyou's words are not unreasonable, but if that beast dares to show up and attack us, Zhou has a way to make it impossible to hide."

Zhou Yang pondered for a while, and also revealed something to his two companions.

It can be clearly seen that Zhao Yuanpu and Zhao Yuanpu both showed a hint of surprise when they heard that he had a way to track the location of the strange beast in the magma sea.

After being surprised, Zhao Yuanpu immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful, if Fellow Daoist Zhou can really track the location of that beast, the chances of me beheading that beast will be greatly increased this time."

Originally, he just wanted to gather the strength of the three of them to defeat and drive away the guardian beast, but he didn't really have much hope for beheading the beast.

After all, in a place like the underground magma sea, that strange beast was born with a huge home court advantage. If they really wanted to escape, it would be really difficult for them to stop the opponent.

[Fire Dragon Master] simply urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's move on."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and shrunk the [Fire Dragon Cover] to the extent that it could only accommodate himself.

The three continued on.

After traveling like this for more than 20 miles, the underground magma river suddenly flowed deeper underground. In less than half a quarter of an hour, the three of Zhou Yang fell more than 10,000 feet down the magma river to the depths of the underground!

When the falling finally stopped, they came to the underground magma sea mentioned by Zhao Yuanpu.

If we use the knowledge of Zhou Yang's previous life to interpret, this so-called underground magma sea should be the core of the planet, and the earth placed in his previous life is called the core of the earth.

The temperature of the magma here is as high as that of the Nascent Soul stage monk's baby fire, and the Jindan stage monk may not be able to sustain it for even a quarter of an hour.

This is a more dangerous place than the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory".

Even if Zhou Yang had the [Qianyang True Fire] body protection, after entering this place, the [Qianyang True Fire] used for body protection also increased his mana absorption speed by a lot.

At the same time, the earth fire poisonous evil spirit here is also extremely strong. Even if Zhou Yang doesn't deliberately use the pupil magic power, he can still see the black and red poisonous fire evil spirit filled in the purple-red magma.

Because of the existence of these poisonous fire evil spirits, even if the fire attribute aura here is stronger than that of the sixth-order spirit veins, the three of Zhou Yang dare not absorb and refine the fire attribute aura from the outside world to replenish mana, and can only absorb and refine it to carry with them. High-grade spirit stones to replenish mana.

Zhao Yuanpu didn't know that there was any way to determine the direction in this endless underground magma sea like the sea. After the three of them descended here, he waited for a while, waiting for the two of Zhou Yang to adapt to the environment here and leave a special mark After marking, he started to move forward in one direction.

Thinking of his previous warnings, while following him forward, Zhou Yang had summoned the natal artifact [Qianyang Golden Pagoda] into his left hand, and held a purple-gold ruler in his other hand.

boom!

In the originally calm magma sea, there was a loud noise suddenly, and the powerful energy fluctuation spread from the place where the loud noise erupted, directly forming a small-scale magma tsunami.

The sneak attack from the cave guardian alien beast arrived as scheduled. During the short fight, Zhou Yang finally saw the true appearance of the alien beast that made Zhao Yuanpu deflated several times.

It was a strange beast in the shape of a crocodile. Its body was long and thin like a crocodile, with red scales all over its body, but its head was like a shark in the sea. Its mouth was full of sharp teeth, and there was a triangular horn on the top of its head. , and in addition to the four sharp claws, there are also triangular long fins similar to fish fins growing on both sides of the body, and a dorsal fin similar to sharks on the back.

Even though he had already learned about this strange beast from Zhao Yuanpu before, after actually seeing this strange beast at this time, Zhou Yang was still slightly surprised by its weird appearance.

He traveled all over the world to cultivate immortals, and read all kinds of ancient books that recorded monsters and savage beasts, but he had never seen such a strange beast.

In fact, it's not just him, even Zhao Yuanpu has never really found out the origin of this strange beast, but temporarily named it [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] based on its appearance and supernatural powers.

This [Poison Fire Crocodile Shark] lives in the underground magma sea and feeds on magma. Not only does it possess several powerful fire magic powers, but it can also easily manipulate the power of magma to attack enemies and hide itself.

During the brief confrontation just now, it used the power of magma to approach Zhou Yang and the others in stealth several hundred feet away, and then suddenly launched a sneak attack on the three of them.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang and the three of them have all been fully motivated since entering this magma sea. The three of them worked together to defend, and the beast didn't get any advantage.

During the brief confrontation, the [Purple Gold Qiankun Ruler] sacrificed by Zhou Yang successfully created a scar on the beast's back, allowing him to get a finely broken scale that was stained with its breath.

At this moment, after the [Poison Fire Crocodile Shark] missed a hit and then hid in the magma sea to hide with the power of magma, Zhou Yang asked Zhao Yuanpu to help him protect the law, and then sacrificed his second natal magic weapon [ Qianyang Golden Lamp], threw the piece of fine scale into the lamp, and cast a spell to light the golden lamp.

"Found it, it's over there!"

As the golden lamp was slowly lit, Zhou Yang glanced at the lamp, pointed in one direction and drank in a low voice.

Both Zhao Yuanpu and [Huolong Daoist] noticed that the direction Zhou Yang was pointing at was exactly the direction where the lights were emphasizing.

"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Zhou can determine its location, let's set up a trap for it, and when it can't help but attack again, give it a hard hit!"

Zhao Yuanpu's eyes flashed brightly, and he immediately expressed his plan with a shout of applause.

So after the three of them negotiated through sound transmission, Zhao Yuanpu led, Zhou Yang was in the middle, and [Fire Dragon Master] was in the back, maintaining this formation and continuing to rush towards the location of the cave.

Not long after this, the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] really couldn't help launching a second sneak attack on the three of them.

It's just that after receiving Zhou Yang's early warning this time, the three of them made a preemptive counter-sneak attack together before the [Poison Fire Crocodile Shark] approached.

At that time, the three of them used their powerful magic weapons to fight at the [Poison Fire Crocodile Shark] at the same time, leaving several hideous wounds on the strange beast in an instant.

But just when the three of them were about to make persistent efforts to expand the results of the battle, the injured [Poison Fire Crocodile Shark] decisively chose to escape.

In this magma sea, if the three of them didn't use their real hole cards, it was impossible to keep the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark] who wanted to escape.

And obviously none of the three wanted to leave their hole cards to such a strange beast of unknown origin.

"Forget it, business is important, as long as this beast doesn't disturb my business, let it go first!"

Zhao Yuanpu shook his head with regret, but made a quick decision.

Zhou Yang and the others accepted his benefits before they came, and agreed that before entering the cave, everything would be based on his opinion. Hearing what he said at this time, although it was a pity that the strange beast ran away, it was also a pity. No one objected to his decision.

So Zhou Yang was in charge of monitoring the movement of the [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark], and continued to drive towards the cave.

It was probably hurt by the ambush just now, and until the three of Zhou Yang appeared outside the cave, they were not attacked by [Poisonous Fire Crocodile Shark].

However, through the reaction of [Qianyang Golden Lantern], Zhou Yang knew that this strange beast had been watching and following the three of him not far away, obviously he hadn't completely given up yet.

"It really is [Red Lotus Earth Fire]! I didn't expect this kind of heaven and earth spirit fire to exist in such a large area. It's really surprising!"

In the magma sea that is composed entirely of purple-red magma, suddenly there is an area full of pink flames. This sense of difference really makes people feel bright.

Although Zhou Yang didn't exclaim like [Fire Dragon Master], he looked at the pink sea of ​​fire with eyes full of surprise, and a strong color of surprise flashed in his eyes.

[Red Lotus and Earth Fire] is also the most superior kind among all the heaven and earth spirit fires. If a monk in the Jindan period can refine a group of such heaven and earth spirit fire, it is equivalent to cultivating a powerful fire system Supernatural powers.

But because the spiritual fire of heaven and earth can only be conceived in the center of the earth, it is extremely rare for monks in the world of immortality to refine this fire.

But now the [Red Lotus Ground Fire] in front of the three of Zhou Yang has formed a sea of ​​flames!

"The old man has always had a suspicion that these [Red Lotus Ground Fire] are not naturally generated by heaven and earth, but are condensed by the power of formations or some treasure that absorbs the fire attribute aura here, but they were just captured by that beast before. I have been unable to verify my conjecture, but with the help of two fellow Taoists today, I can finally get what I want.”

"Let the old man try to see if his suspicion is true!"

Zhao Yuanpu looked at the pink sea of ​​flames with twinkling eyes. While talking about his guess, he reached for the pink sea of ​​flames and grabbed it. A huge palm condensed by his magic power instantly copied into the pink sea of ​​flames. In the sea of ​​fire, trying to fish out a ball of flames.
