As he dived into the lava pool, the scorching heat instantly surrounded him from all directions. It was like a giant lava beast that wanted to swallow Mu Qingxiao whole.
Mu Qingxiao paused slightly and looked around. His vision was filled with a golden color mixed with some crimson red.
He could see clearly within a few dozen meters, but everything beyond that was a blur.
Moreover, the lava pool felt like a bottomless pit to him. He did not know where it led to, which made him feel extremely uneasy.
The lava was extremely viscous, like the mouth of a volcano. The deeper he went, the wider his surroundings became, and the higher the temperature was.
Mu Qingxiao adjusted his speed of descent while feeling the surrounding temperature. His heart was filled with confusion as he followed behind the Fire Qilin and slowly descended to the bottom.
Mu Qingxiao's mouth twitched when he saw the Fire Qilin jumping around excitedly in the lava pool. Did this guy forget that he was not here to play?
When he saw the Fire Qilin looking around at the bottom of the lava pool, Mu Qingxiao knew that this guy had never come down before.
He didn't even check out his own nest before moving in. His IQ was really unparalleled.
A few minutes later, Mu Qingxiao was still descending at the same speed.
He was already a few hundred meters below the lava pool, but he still had not reached the bottom. The area around him was dozens of times wider.
Under the endless lava pool, Mu Qingxiao maintained 200% of his vigilance. He held the Soul Sword tightly in his hand. Seeing that the Fire Qilin was not worried at all, he could not help but feel relieved.
.....
.....
A moment later, Mu Qingxiao's expression was solemn.
He had been descending for more than ten minutes. He was more than four thousand meters below the surface, but he still had not reached the bottom. The Yin and Yang Spiritual Qi in his body was rapidly depleting.
More than four thousand meters below the surface, there was no trace of color in the lava. Looking around, it was all golden.
The Fire Qilin's expression was normal, but Mu Qingxiao did not dare to relax, especially in this unknown territory.
The deeper he went, the greater the pressure around him. If he was an ordinary Golden Core Level Six cultivator, the situation would be different.
Mu Qingxiao was really glad that the Yin and Yang Spirit Qi that she usually compressed was not in vain.
Although the lava pool at a depth of four thousand meters was extremely hot, it contained an immeasurable amount of pure energy. If not for the situation below, Mu Qingxiao would have wanted to stay here and cultivate for three to five years.
In this strange magma pool, Mu Qingxiao could not use his divine sense to probe. He did not know how big it was. He could only control his body and fall vertically. He did not know when he would reach the end.
Mu Qingxiao looked around at the golden scenery. If it weren't for the fact that she had been descending vertically, she probably wouldn't have been able to differentiate between north and south.
If he lost his way, he would undoubtedly die, so he didn't dare to wander around.
As for the Fire Qilin, it was still indescribably cheerful. Placing one's hopes on it was no different from placing one's hopes on a ten-year-old child.
At that time, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Thousands of words turned into a long sigh. Mu Qingxiao's mood was rather complicated.
In this unknown territory, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have a trace of fear in his heart.
The unknown was always the most terrifying. Other than his cultivation, he was no different from an ordinary person in other aspects.
Facing this bottomless magma pool, even with the soul sword in hand, he felt powerless.
Just as Mu Qingxiao was thinking, the cheerful Fire Qilin suddenly stopped. Its golden lion eyes stared blankly below.
Seeing this, Mu Qingxiao's heartstrings tightened like never before. He carefully observed his surroundings. It was still a golden world around him, and he had not reached the bottom of the magma pool.
Looking past the Fire Qilin, he looked at the bottom. The golden scenery below was still there. There was nothing unusual.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, Mu Qingxiao raised his eyebrows. His eyes were filled with confusion. There was nothing unusual below, but he was exceptionally nervous. Was this what they meant by scaring oneself?
This was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.
However, Mu Qingxiao warned himself that the Fire Qilin's confused expression was definitely not normal. He controlled his body and slowly came to its side.
In an instant, Mu Qingxiao's pupils violently contracted. This was because in his vision, the territory below his feet was completely different from the place he had just passed through.
If the magma above was compared to turbid lake water, then the magma below was clear and transparent.
Although the surroundings were still golden, he could see everything clearly. Moreover, the golden magma was filled with countless blood-red beads.
The beads were the size of soybeans and covered the entire magma territory. They were incomparably bright and emitted a scarlet halo. They were like countless stars in the sky.
No wonder the Fire Qilin had a confused expression.
It must be because he couldn't see through the hundred-meter magma pool from where he was just now. This scene was absolutely impactful!
Mu Qingxiao was more than six thousand meters underground. He could already see the bottom of the magma pool. When he looked around, he couldn't see the end of it. It was like a golden sea of magma.
When he came back to his senses, the Fire Qilin had already scurried to the bottom. Mu Qingxiao's heart was filled with bitterness. He had no choice but to go down now. While feeling helpless, he began to mobilize all the strength in his body.
His expression was resolute. If there were any unforeseen circumstances, he would immediately turn around and run with the Fire Qilin!
Under Mu Qingxiao's serious gaze, the Fire Qilin had already reached the bottom of the magma pool. At the same time, it stood in front of a small hill, its eyes filled with confusion.
The hill was about eight to nine meters tall and was four to five times larger than the Fire Qilin's body. He didn't know why the Fire Qilin was looking at a small hill with such a confused expression.
The Fire Qilin was confused, but Mu Qingxiao was even more confused. Who knew what was wrong with this divine beast?
Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, the Fire Qilin let out two muffled roars. In this magma field, it was extremely muffled.
However, when he landed at the bottom of the magma pool, he was instantly dumbfounded. His eyes were filled with disbelief!
The golden magma on the hill in front of the Fire Qilin was slowly falling off like mud. Then, a huge six-meter-tall figure appeared in front of Mu Qingxiao's eyes!
"From the country of the Eastern gentleman, soar beyond the four seas, pass the Kunlun Mountains, drink from the pillars, feather and weak water, do not stay in the wind cave, and see the world at peace.
"The leading text is Virtue, the wing text is Shun, the back text is Righteousness, the stomach text is Faith, the army text is Benevolence."
Mu Qingxiao held the soul sword tightly. A few lines from the Classic of Mountains and Seas appeared in his mind. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva secretly, not knowing how to describe it.
This was because the creature he saw now was even more shocking than the first time he saw the Fire Qilin!
