Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: Green Lotus Core Flame

Opening the parchment obtained from Hai Bo Dong, be discovered an incredibly detailed map of the Tager Desert. Not only did the map accurately mark the locations of water sources in the desert, but it also meticulously labeled the Snake People Tribe scattered throughout the desert.

Most notably, there were flame symbols in the east, west, and north directions on the map.

"Hmm, with a general direction, it'll be much easier to find."

Yun Tianming, confident in his powerful Soul Power, believed that as long as he approached the location of the Heavenly Flame, he would definitely be able to detect it.

According to Hai Bo Dong, he had originally intended to sell information about the Heavenly Flame to a high-level Alchemist as a bargaining chip for the transaction of refining the Sixth Grade Pill: Breaking Adversity Pill to lift the seal.

In the entire Jia Ma Empire, there was only one sixth-grade Alchemist, and that was Gu He. Hai Bo Dong had once sent someone to contact Gu He. However, Gu He had mentioned that to refine the Breaking Adversity Pill, he needed the assistance of the Heavenly Flame, and hinted that Hai Bo Dong could provide him with information about the Heavenly Flame first. Hai Bo Dong, being cautious by nature, said he needed to consider it further. Who would have known that on that same night, Gu He gathered a few Dou Kings and prepared to talk to Hai Bo Dong.

Hai Bo Dong was also stubborn; if he didn't give it, you couldn't take it! He promptly disappeared, hiding in the Tager Desert under an assumed name. He didn't trust Gu He.

The reason for trusting Yun Tianming lies firstly in the fact that he defeated him with sheer strength but chose not to kill him. Moreover, he took the initiative to offer help in lifting the seal on his body.

Hai Bo Dong believed that Yun Tianming's future potential was immeasurable. Providing information about the Heavenly Flame proactively could be considered a significant early investment!

...

The Tager Desert is vast, almost equivalent to the total area of ​​the Jia Ma Empire.

In this endless expanse of yellow sand, aimless searching is like finding a needle in a haystack.

With the map provided by Hai Bo Dong, the approximate search range can be narrowed.

First, on the west side of the map, Yun Tianming released his Soul Perception, covering an area of ​​over a hundred kilometers, penetrating deep into the desert floor.

Although he didn't detect the presence of the Heavenly Flame, he found something unexpected.

"Deep Forest Assassination!"

Yun Tianming thrust a staff into the sand, infused with Wood attribute Dou Qi, causing it to grow rapidly and extend deep into the ground until it encountered a hard rock layer. Yun Tianming didn't give up; instead, he chose to inject more Dou Qi, forcefully puncturing through the rock layer, revealing a hollow large cave inside.

"The nest of Sixth Rank Magic Beasts?"

Yun Tianming squinted, his Soul Perception continuing to scan the entire cave, without detecting any signs of life.

"Huh?!"

"And this?"

Yun Tianming used Suction Palm towards the underground cave, exerting a tremendous suction force to draw out whatever was inside.

"Patter, patter~"

Two huge skeletons were dragged out onto the surface.

"Sixth Rank Magic Beast: Earthfire Spider."

"Sixth Rank Magic Beast: Gold Eating Insect"

Upon closer inspection, although these two skeletons had long been dead, the Earthfire Spider's sharp venomous fangs were biting onto the skull of the Gold Eating Insect, while the serrated hundred feet of the Gold Eating Insect were tightly entangled around the abdomen of the Earthfire Spider. It's not hard to imagine the scene where these two Sixth Rank Magic Beasts fought to their mutual demise.

"In the past, Hai Bo Dong discovered an unusual flame aura here. It seems he mistook the Beast Flame for the Heavenly Flame."

Yun Tianming accepted the two Sixth Rank Magic Cores and also found a faint Beast Fire Seed in the abdomen of the Earthfire Spider. He thought to himself that this trip hadn't been in vain!

After collecting the valuable materials, Yun Tianming flapped his Dark Feather Wings and flew towards the north of the Tager Desert.

With his Soul Perception covering the area, he searched methodically.

This time, he didn't come across any rare treasures. He only found a live volcano on the surface of the desert, containing immense pressure and could erupt at any moment.

"The east is the last stop; hopefully, it won't disappoint."

Continuously using the Flying Dou Technique to hurry along consumed a considerable amount of Dou Qi. Yun Tianming swallowed several recovery pills, sat down to meditate for a while, quickly regaining his strength, and set off again.

The eastern part of the Tager Desert is the most desolate area, extremely dry and lacking water, even the Snake People Tribe is reluctant to venture into such places.

"So rich in fire attribute energy."

Yun Tianming once again released his Soul Perception and found that the geological activity in the area was unusually active. About a hundred meters below the desert, magma could be seen flowing.

"The Green Lotus Core Flame, as the name suggests, is the flame born in the underground lava. It seems this is the right place!"

Yun Tianming used Wood attribute Dou Qi to dig and excavate the ground. The deeper he went, the hotter it became. Until he dug through the desert layer, what came into view was a layer of fiery magma. In this environment, Wood attribute Dou Qi would be naturally suppressed. Yun Tianming immediately converted it into Fire attribute Dou Qi and invoked the Extreme Purple Beast Flame, forming a purple-black Dou Qi Armor.

Without any hesitation, Yun Tianming leaped down towards the magma below.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The sight was surrounded by a fiery red magma world, giving a suffocating feeling of descending into hell. However, with the Soul Perception activated, he could see everything around him clearly.

"Gurgle~"

A huge black shadow was seen swiftly swimming in the magma, heading straight towards Yun Tianming.

"Fourth Rank Magic Beast, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent?"

Yun Tianming's expression remained unchanged as he clapped his hands together, and a vast surge of Soul Power erupted suddenly. "It's a pity. If it were a normal day, perhaps I would spar with you, but this time, I have urgent matters to attend to. Let's avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent broke through the magma and, from behind Yun Tianming, the two snake heads simultaneously lunged at him!

Then, the two snake heads suddenly veered off course, their large triangular pupils losing focus in that moment. Upon closer inspection, one could see a square depression appearing at the top of each snake head.

"Soul Hammer!"

This was Yun Tianming's simplified version of the Soul Technique, with far less power compared to the original "Divine Finger," but its advantage lay in its swift usage. Without the need for complex Soul Seals, it could be activated instantly with just a clap of the hands. Concentrating his Soul Power, he formed a warhammer shape, capable of delivering a lethal blow to a Fourth Rank Magic Beast with a single strike to the forehead from close range!

After dealing with the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, Yun Tianming didn't even bother to collect the magic cores. He continued to advance towards the depths of the magma. As the depth increased, the temperature of the magma became increasingly higher, and the pressure was terrifyingly strong. Even the Dou Qi Armor formed by the Extreme Purple Beast Flame was being compressed, making cracking sounds. Yun Tianming's skin began to feel the scorching sensation.

Taking out several pills from his Spatial Ring and swallowing them, while activating the Nourishing Divine Wood's Qi Method to heal the burns on his body, Yun Tianming's eyes remained determined as he crazily descended deeper into the magma!

When he reached a depth of a hundred kilometers, the color of the magma around him began to turn green.

"This aura... it's the Heavenly Flame!"

At this moment, Yun Tianming's entire body was flushed red from the heat, yet his eyes shone with excitement as he gazed firmly at the center of the green magma. There, like a dreamy beauty, was a Green Lotus, standing gracefully amidst the green magma, resembling a gentle maiden.
