Chapter 1199
slam-la-
The Water-Fire Lotus Divine Power originated when Chen Xuan achieved the Crimson Bright Divine Body. At that time, the opportunity for the convergence of the two Great Daos of Yin and Yang arrived, and Chen Xuan seized this opportunity to diligently study and comprehend it, thus mastering this miraculous method of fusing the two ultimate Great Daos.
The Water-Fire Lotus is a manifestation of the Yin-Yang Dao, and its interior perfectly fuses these two opposing attributes into one. Because of this, its power is extraordinary, enough to ignore the surging, pressing, scorching magma around it.
bang bang bang-
As expected, after the water-fire lotus bloomed, more bizarre sneak attacks followed. These attacks were fierce, extremely fast, and powerful. Fortunately, the constantly spinning and strangling water-fire lotus had an exceptional defense, and these sneak attacks could not cause any substantial damage to it in the short term.
"go!"
woohoo-
Due to the harsh surrounding environment, even with his powerful divine sense, Chen Xuan was unable to discern the nature of the creatures repeatedly launching sneak attacks. Left with no other option, he resorted to his trump card, tightly protecting Zhan Xin, and charged towards the black lava area below with all his might.
"Get ready, we're going in." Chen Xuan held Zhanxin tightly in his arms and whispered a reminder in her ear.
"Hmm." Zhanxin also focused intently, his fingers lightly forming a sword incantation, ready for battle, giving a firm response.
wow——
The inky, even more terrifying magma instantly enveloped Chen Xuan and his companion. The terrifying heat even caused the outermost water and fire lotus flowers to slightly twist and deform, demonstrating the astonishing power of the black magma.
"Is this place really this dangerous?" Chen Xuan was covered in sweat. He gritted his teeth, increased his speed again, and rushed downwards with all his might.
It's unclear how many meters they descended further, until the water-fire lotuses blooming on the outer perimeter could no longer withstand the terrifying heat and vanished with a roar. In the end, even the light shield formed by the bronze armor plates began to tremble slightly, clearly nearing its limit.
Just as Chen Xuan was paying close attention to the subtle changes in the protective light shield.
wow——
The two suddenly felt the scene before them change. Just moments ago it was pitch black, with no sunlight, but after passing through a layer of viscous black lava, the view suddenly opened up.
The scene before me was an incredibly ancient, crimson land, exuding an ancient aura. The land stretched as far as the eye could see, seemingly containing mountains and forests.
"At the bottom of this furnace, there is actually a small space opened up by ancient gods and demons?" Chen Xuan was overjoyed. Although this place was still unbearably hot, it was much more comfortable than the endlessly squeezing magma world.
"This is...this is a sword-nurturing stone?"
After Zhanxin landed, she quickly circulated her spiritual energy to dry her soaked clothes. She squatted down, picked up a sword-shaped stone from the crimson ground, and said in surprise.
"A sword-nurturing stone?" Chen Xuan quickly walked over, took the stone, and examined it carefully. Soon, he found a record of this peculiar weapon-refining treasure in the general outline of array weapon refining.
“That’s right, the Sword Nourishing Stone is extremely unique. If you use this kind of stone to set up an array and place the flying sword at the array’s core, it can greatly help the flying sword improve its grade after a long period of nurturing and nourishment,” Zhan Xin explained solemnly.
"Look at this crystal again. It's exactly as described in the records. This is a half-life stone of the sword-nurturing stone, called a sword-grinding stone. It's extremely rare and has remarkable effects. Once, when I went to Wanbao Mountain to purchase some, there was a sword-grinding stone there that was only slightly better in quality than this one and weighed no more than a hundred catties. Yet it was priced at 38 catties of source liquid." Zhan Xin said, looking at the sword-nurturing stones and sword-grinding stones scattered all over the ground in front of him, revealing a rare look of greed.
"Such a high value?" Chen Xuan was greatly shocked when he heard the price. But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Chen Xuan looked at Zhan Xin, quickly snatched a whetstone from her hand, threw it away without hesitation, and said, "That's not right."
Zhan Xin had always trusted Chen Xuan, and seeing his actions, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xuan was extremely vigilant at this moment, and immediately released his divine sense to examine everything around him in great detail.
"The Immortal Realm Ancient Road Secret Realm opens once every thousand years. Each time, even if the cultivators from all walks of life are unlucky, there will always be lucky ones who can obtain bronze armor pieces and trigger the God and Demon Furnace."
"The opening once every thousand years is an incredibly long time in the eyes of mortals, but compared to the history of the Xuanxiao Great World of hundreds of thousands of years, the time span is not large, enough for accumulation."
Chen Xuan continued his analysis: "However, look at the sheer number of sword-nurturing stones and sword-sharpening stones here. This is clearly not in line with common sense."
As Chen Xuan analyzed, Zhan Xin was suddenly awakened, looking at the gems scattered on the ground with a wary expression.
"You mean to say that if these two treasures are so easy to obtain, then the sword-nurturing stones and sword-sharpening stones sold outside shouldn't be so expensive, is that right?"
“That’s right, that’s exactly the point.” Chen Xuan nodded slowly with a solemn expression. “Of course, this place is the second habitat of the gods and demons in ancient times, and speculation alone is far from enough to determine the specific situation.”
"Perhaps this furnace has never been activated since the end of the ancient war. Only in this way can the presence of divine mines all over this place make sense."
Chen Xuan then said solemnly, "Of course, it's also possible that everything we see here is an illusion, a mere illusion..."
Chen Xuan hesitated, as if he was just one step away from grasping the key point.
"You mean, this place is an illusion, and everything we see is fake?" Zhan Xin suddenly realized, a trace of fear rising in his heart. "Could this be a test from the Great Dao Embryo for us? A test of our Dao heart?"
Chen Xuan looked at Zhan Xin, nodded slightly, and said, "However, if that's really the case, we should have triggered the test of the Great Dao Embryo long ago."
Suddenly, Chen Xuan seemed to realize something and immediately transmitted his voice to Zhan Xin.
Seeing that Chen Xuan seemed confident, Zhan Xin flipped his hand and took out the Zimu Jade Talisman, holding it in his hand.
Then, Chen Xuan and Zhan Xin immediately flew in opposite directions.
"Bai Li, you can also choose any direction and go find your own Great Dao weapon embryo. If you have enough luck, you might be able to obtain a divine weapon that is extremely compatible with you."
wow——
Upon hearing this, Bai Li was immediately teleported out of the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion by Chen Xuan and transformed into a girl in white.
"Master, Bai Li will do her best. Please take care." Bai Li was filled with excitement, never expecting that she, as a spirit beast, would have such an opportunity.
"Yes, safety is the top priority."
After giving his instructions, Bai Li transformed into a gentle breeze and flew rapidly westward.
After Bai Li left, Chen Xuan flew at a leisurely pace in the direction he had chosen. During the flight, he naturally released his full divine sense, meticulously examining everything around him.
Whether Bai Li had gone far enough or not, just as Chen Xuanfei arrived at a mountain range in the Crimson Land, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The crimson earth, rocks, and mountains that had previously met the eye vanished instantly, replaced by an endless expanse of sky filled with countless points of light. Countless distant yet exceptionally bright stars floated above the boundless firmament.
Chen Xuan stared in astonishment at everything, and soon discovered that among the numerous stars, he found more than ten that had a strange connection with him. Although this connection was extremely weak, Chen Xuan still keenly detected it.
"The test for the Great Dao artifact embryo has arrived."
