Yi Yun hesitated for a moment before flying close to the ground. Under the cover of the trees and the vegetation on the ground, he quickly approached the tall mountain.
Riches were sought amidst danger. He naturally had to take a look at the opportunities in the second level of the God Advent Tower.
Every level of the God Advent Tower was meticulously designed by the ancient Great Empress. Every cultivator that entered would see a world that corresponded to them. As for how high they could reach while exploring it, it all depended on themselves.
This test could be said to test every cultivator's potential and growth to the greatest extent.
"Xiao – Xiao –"
At this moment, there were more and more flying desolate beasts gathering in the sky. These desolate beasts came from all directions and gathered around the mountain.
Their flapping wings stirred up air currents, forming a whirlwind. The sound they produced was ear-piercing.
The closer he got, the more careful Yi Yun became. His aura and even his breathing were converged.
The desolate beasts in the sky looked strange. They had mouths that were like sharp blades, and their mouths were filled with sharp teeth. Their eyes were scarlet red, making them look shocking.
This tall mountain was likely their resting place.
This made Yi Yun have a strange feeling. The valley that had pure Yang lava flowing, the Fire Tree, Fusang, and the strange birds in the sky really gave off the feeling of the Tang Valley, Fusang and Golden Crow.
As Yi Yun was thinking, a strange bird in the sky suddenly let out a deafening screech. It opened its sharp beak and swooped down!
Yi Yun's pupils constricted as he subconsciously dodged behind a large tree. The strange bird's target was clearly not Yi Yun. It charged into the forest, and the tall trees seemed to encounter a hurricane. They began to shake violently, and many branches snapped as they split apart.
In a few seconds, the strange bird's figure appeared once again.
Pu! Pu!
It flapped its wings and flew back to the flock of strange birds. Under its claws was a huge python. This python was about 20-30 meters long. Its body was scarlet red in color, and its body exuded rich fire-elemental Yuan Qi. But now, it had been torn into two by the strange bird.
Snake blood splattered everywhere. The strange bird grabbed the heavy python corpse and continued to fly towards the mountain.
It wasn't just this strange bird. Many of the strange birds in the sky had also caught their prey. Their claws were as thick as an adult's arms. With two claws, they could easily grab an elephant.
They didn't eat the prey they caught. Instead, they seemed to want to bring the prey back to their nest.
Were these strange birds going to have a feast?
These thoughts flashed in Yi Yun's mind. Without any hesitation, he followed them to the highest mountain peak. Finally, Yi Yun saw that all the strange birds had landed on a cliff at the peak of the mountain.
The magma canyon started from this cliff and flowed downwards. It felt like this cliff was the origin of the magma canyon.
The closer Yi Yun got to the cliff, the richer the pure Yang Yuan Qi became. The temperature here was like a furnace.
Leaping over a rock that had been roasted red by the flames, Yi Yun saw a white lake.
The lake was not filled with water, but scorching hot magma.
This magma was not bubbling, it was extremely calm. This calmness made people shudder. It was hard to imagine how hot the magma was.
Above the magma lake, there were protruding rocks. These rocks were extremely magical. They did not melt even after being immersed in the pure Yang magma.
There were about twenty rocks that formed a circle. In the middle of the rocks, Yi Yun saw a red lotus growing in the boiling magma!
This red lotus had seven to eight slender roots that extended out from the magma. They held up four to five umbrella-like round leaves. In the middle of these leaves, Yi Yun saw a red lotus flower and a lotus pod. In the lotus pod, there were round and crystalline objects. They were lotus seeds.
"What is this?"
Yi Yun held his breath. A red lotus grew above the scorching magma. Its roots were embedded in the magma, which had an immeasurable temperature. It absorbed pure Yang Qi to grow.
Without a doubt, this was a treasure.
The treasure that Yi Yun had previously sensed with the Purple Crystal's energy vision was this red lotus growing in the magma.
"It has already grown lotus seeds. The lotus seed is the fruit of the red lotus. Maybe this red lotus has already matured and can be plucked …"
A treasure that grew in pure Yang magma was no doubt a great opportunity for Yi Yun. Once he ate it, his cultivation level would increase by leaps and bounds. It was even possible for his pure Yang body to be perfected.
But the problem was, how was he to obtain it?
Yi Yun frowned slightly. There was no shelter near the magma lake. If he rushed out to pluck the lotus seeds, he would definitely alarm the strange birds.
Yi Yun had never seen these birds before, but in his energy vision, Yi Yun could clearly feel how powerful they were. He might not even be able to deal with one, much less a flock!
Besides, they were adept at flying and they were extremely fast. Yi Yun might not be able to outrun them if he tried to escape.
Yi Yun looked up and saw that at the top of the cliff, there were four to five strange birds perched there. Their hawk-like sharp eyes were locked onto the vicinity of the lava lake.
Clearly, these strange birds were guards. They were in charge of being on guard.
With the strange birds on guard, it was impossible for Yi Yun to pluck the lotus seeds while the strange birds were resting or foraging.
"This bunch of strange birds sure are careful."
Yi Yun knew that the growth of many treasures would be accompanied by terrifying desolate beasts guarding them. Once these desolate beasts discovered the treasure, they would take it for themselves and enjoy it when it matured.
The more precious the treasure, the stronger the desolate beast guarding it. Weak desolate beasts could not protect it at all.
The feeling of not being able to obtain the treasure with it in front of him was naturally unpleasant.
Yi Yun hid behind a rock as he observed and waited.
He saw that not far from the magma lake, there was a flock of strange birds gathered together.
They had piled up all the prey they had captured and formed a large circle around the prey.
They spread out their wings that were about twenty to thirty meters long and prostrated themselves. Their wings were stacked together as if they were holding some sort of ritual.
And at this moment, a sharp scream was heard. Yi Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on the cliff that was about a hundred meters high, there was a huge cave. Near the cave, there was a large protruding rock. On the rock, there were all sorts of desolate beasts' bones scattered on it.
Bird's nest?
Yi Yun knew that birds of prey like falcons liked to build their nests on cliffs. It seemed like these strange birds had the same habit. However, their nests were too big. The entrance to the cave was about twenty to thirty meters wide.
