"What amazing flames …" The further Lin Feng went, the more shocked he became.
Just as he had sensed, the density and intensity of the flames in the depths of the cave far exceeded that of the Ancient Southern Region, and they were increasing exponentially. Bang! Bang! The Flames of Devouring appeared in an instant and devoured the flames hungrily. However, the speed was far from enough.
Whoosh! Whoosh! With the protection of the Flames of Rebirth, Lin Feng moved forward slowly.
Every moment, the Flames of Devouring were constantly improving. The feeling was incomparable, and the speed of improvement was far greater than the power consumed. In other words, as long as he was willing, the Flames of Devouring could be cultivated endlessly and improved again!
"Seven Star Techniques are not the peak," Lin Feng thought to himself.
Perhaps, comprehending seven Star Techniques was enough to reach the requirement of "Saint", but that didn't mean that it was the peak.
At least, the Flames of Devouring and Flames of Rebirth weren't.
"The Flames of Devouring have reached the seventh Star Technique, which is equivalent to just entering the '70th Star Technique' of the Phoenix Realm."
"There are still 80th and even 90th Star Techniques above."
"The same goes for the Flames of Rebirth."
…
Lin Feng was very clear.
The power of flames was far from the "peak". Just like strength, in the eyes of ordinary warriors, the Saint-level was already unattainable and stood at the top of the pyramid. However, when one reached the Saint-level, they realized that the world above the Saint-level was vast and there were also "Saint Kings".
In fact, there were also "Starry Sky powerhouses" above the Saint Kings.
One would only know the existence of another level after reaching a certain level.
…
He moved forward step by step.
After an unknown period of time, he passed through layers of flames, turned, and turned again.
It was as if he had come to another world. The surroundings were fiery red, and all the rocks and soil seemed to no longer exist. Only the world of flames was left. The raging flames sprayed everywhere and wrapped around him. It seemed to be the core of the earth as it was extremely hot.
"Phew ~" Lin Feng exhaled softly, his eyes glistening.
"Impressive. I haven't even reached the deepest part, but there's already such a scene."
Lin Feng couldn't help but look forward to it.
Lin Feng's eyes were like torches as he looked at the land of flames in front of him. "What is that?" His gaze focused on the red grass that was fluttering in the flames. They were sparkling and translucent. When the flames passed by, they seemed to want to burn the red grass, but they were "easily" avoided.
"Two, three, four …" Lin Feng counted softly.
"Five!"
"There are actually five of these Flame Grass."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he muttered to himself.
Even if he didn't recognize what the 'Flame Grass' was, he could still feel its tenacious vitality. Furthermore … for it to be able to grow in such a harsh environment, how miraculous must it be!
"I wonder if it's a Wood Spirit or a Star Fruit," Lin Feng muttered.
Just like the martial artists' paths of the Heavenly Warriors and Heavenly Gods, becoming a Wood Spirit or a Star Fruit was a fork in the road and a choice for plant life. If he became a Wood Spirit, he would be like a Demonic Beast, going against the will of the heavens. However, if he became an Astral Fruit, he would follow the will of the heavens and become a normal Great Dao.
It was easy to distinguish.
Just look at the aura!
A Wood Spirit would possess the aura of vitality very early on, just like 'Yi'. However, an Astral Fruit was different. It only possessed the aura of the energy of the heavens and the earth. The fruits it bore would contain great energy. If the Astral Fruit followed the will of the heavens, it wouldn't have to cultivate on its own. However, it would never have true 'intelligence'. This was the difference.
However, it was blocked by the raging flames and couldn't be felt.
The aura of the flames here was very powerful!
"Go!" Lin Feng's eyes lit up as he shouted.
The Devouring Flames contained great destructive power. Combined with the energy of the Astral Origin, it instantly produced a violent explosive power. This was different from the absorption just now. Previously, he was absorbing, but now, he was attacking. The Devouring Flames madly devoured, forcibly opening a path.
As for Lin Feng, he was like a gale sweeping past. With the protection of the Rebirth Flames, he swept through everything like a whirlwind.
"Hua!" Lin Feng's figure flashed as he floated in midair.
At this moment, there were five Flame Grass brimming with energy in his hand.
It appeared to be shaped like ordinary grass. Only, it was slightly larger, and its leaves were slightly thicker. However … it contained a powerful fire energy. Clearly, it was no ordinary grass. Among them, there were two Flame Grass with three Flame Grass, and one Flame Grass with three Flame Grass had the most powerful energy.
"It seems that the more Flame Grass has, the more powerful and precious the Flame Grass has."
"I don't know what Astral Fruit it is, but it should be above the Saint Grade."
Lin Feng nodded slightly.
As a blacksmith, he had crammed some knowledge.
This included all kinds of materials and Astral Fruits. However, this knowledge was limited to materials that were commonly used by cultivators below the Saint Grade. It was never mentioned by cultivators above the Saint Grade. Most of them wouldn't be recorded in books because they were very rare.
Five Flame Grass!
"At least I gained something." Lin Feng smiled. At this moment, his mood was very relaxed.
It was as if he had returned to the most primitive time. He didn't need to think or consider anything. He could just … explore without any worries.
He continued to move deeper.
Continue!
…
The flames were getting stronger and stronger.
The terrain was getting wider and wider as they went deeper.
It was as if they had entered the lowest level of the Ancient Southern Region. It was getting hotter and hotter.
"I can't take it anymore." Lin Feng sighed and took a step back.
The Earth Core Flame here had exceeded his limit. If he continued forward, the Devouring Flame would consume more energy. The Rebirth Flame wouldn't be able to withstand it. He would probably be buried in the sea of fire. Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He hesitated for a moment. Then, a light appeared in his hand.
Fire Calming Pearl!
It was a unique treasure taken from the deepest level of the Sparrow King Prison Formation.
"Let's give it a try." Lin Feng nodded slowly.
He didn't know the function of this Fire Calming Pearl. The only thing he knew was that it could absorb the flames.
The absorption speed was terrifying!
"Saint-level flames …" Lin Feng muttered. He looked at the Fire Calming Pearl in his hand. He didn't know if it could really absorb the flames.
After all, the flames here were much stronger than the Sparrow King Prison.
However …
His intuition told him that there was no problem.
"Hiss!" The Fire Calming Pearl absorbed the flames fiercely. Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
The flames that even his Flames of Devouring and Flames of Rebirth could not withstand were completely 'vulnerable' in front of the Fire Calming Pearl. They were absorbed at an extremely fast speed. Wherever the Fire Calming Pearl passed, the earth's core flames disappeared without a trace, and the light became brighter and brighter.
"So powerful." Lin Feng was shocked.
Although he had imagined it before, it was completely different from seeing it with his own eyes.
The flames here weren't ordinary at all.
"It can absorb Saint-level flames. This Fire Calming Pearl …" Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly.
It was definitely not an ordinary treasure!
…
With the Fire Calming Pearl leading the way, Lin Feng sped forward.
Everywhere he passed, he was invincible.
"Wow." Lin Feng looked ahead and saw many Flame Grass. They stood in the wind and didn't fall. These precious Star Fruits that couldn't be seen in the outside world were abundant here. In fact, he had already collected many of them.
However, they weren't as dense as what he saw now.
The Flame Grass without branches could be seen everywhere. There were more than a dozen Flame Grass with two branches, three branches, four branches, and so on.
There was even a Flame Grass with five branches. Its energy was much stronger than that with three branches.
"The more, the better." Lin Feng smiled.
The Devouring Flame in his hand rose again. His eyes were deep. He wouldn't miss this opportunity.
These Star Fruits were almost certainly Saint-level Star Fruits. Although there were no fruits, the energy contained in these Flame Grass was extraordinary. Especially … the Flame Grass with five branches. Lin Feng held it in his hand and felt a connection with it. He couldn't help but tighten his grip.
Whirlwind!
Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew.
Looking at the harvest in his hand, Lin Feng couldn't help but smile. Then, he put all of them into his bag.
"Well, it's like finding joy in hardship." Lin Feng laughed at himself. He didn't care. He didn't want to give up his life easily until the last moment. After all, he only had one main body. Of course, he could commit suicide. However, could he guarantee that his doppelganger would survive?
Moreover, suicide was the act of a coward.
"It's strange," Lin Feng muttered.
It was indescribably strange!
He couldn't figure out why the Divine Hall spared his life. He couldn't figure out why they locked him up in this place. Even though he had awakened and recovered his strength, there was no reaction at all. Were they not afraid that he would run away because of his luck?
"Phew!" Lin Feng exhaled softly and collected his thoughts.
Forget it.
It was useless to think too much.
Now, he could only take one step at a time.
Wait!
"What's that?" Lin Feng frowned and looked into the distance.
As far as his eyes could see, there seemed to be 'light spots' within the flames. Although they were very faint, he could still vaguely see them. He could even vaguely feel a special aura. Lin Feng's curiosity was piqued as he continued forward.
Soon —
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
The light spots he saw just now were slightly bigger. They seemed to be transforming and changing in the flames. It was as if something was' bound 'in them. It was very strange. With a curious gaze, Lin Feng looked directly at the light spots. The fluctuations became more and more intense.
After a while, a cracking sound could be heard. It sounded like an eggshell cracking. The color of the light spots gradually changed.
Lin Feng widened his eyes and looked at the light spots. There were segments of worm-like things crawling out. They opened their mouths and swallowed the light spots. They were white and soft, flashing with a bright luster. He could vaguely see the color of flames on their bodies.
This was …
"Silkworm?!" Lin Feng was stunned.
This word appeared in his mind. He couldn't react.
The 'silkworm' finished swallowing the light spots in a short while. Its originally small body grew bigger. It was wriggling gently. It was completely unafraid of the flames surrounding it. It seemed to be bathing in the sunlight and enjoying everything.
"Could it be …"
"This is the so-called 'Extreme Fire Silkworm'?"
Lin Feng was stunned.
