Yang Xuan watched as everyone busied themselves with the crocodile carcass. At first, he was full of interest, but after a while, he became bored. Just as he was about to turn around and return, he suddenly felt an inexplicable aura coming from something in his bosom.
Eh?
Yang Xuan reached into his bosom and took out the item. It was the Dark Nether Silk Glove that he had obtained from his family's treasury. At this moment, the glove was emitting a faint glow under the moonlight, as if there was a strange power circulating within it.
Yang Xuan was surprised. Ever since he had obtained this glove, he had never used it. He did not expect it to change at this time.
His heart stirred, and he slowly put the glove on his left hand.
A strange feeling came from his left hand. At this moment, the glove seemed to come alive, pointing in a direction.
Yang Xuan looked up at the lake in front of him. The lake was calm, without any waves. There was nothing out of the ordinary. Under the moonlight, it was like a bronze mirror.
In the next moment, Yang Xuan suddenly took off his shirt and plunged into the lake.
As soon as he entered the water, the cool lake water shook his spirit, and his mind seemed to become clearer in an instant.
With the help of the bright moonlight, the scenery in the lake could be vaguely seen. Yang Xuan's body was like a swimming fish, sinking continuously.
The lake water was not very deep. After a while, Yang Xuan arrived at the bottom of the lake. At this time, his eyesight was far beyond that of ordinary people. The dusky bottom of the lake could be seen clearly in his eyes.
He looked around but did not find anything strange. However, he was surprised to find that as he moved, the glove on his left hand began to fluctuate between hot and cold.
Yang Xuan tried to float up a little, and the glove quickly became cold. He tried to sink to the bottom of the lake, but the glove began to heat up again. When he came to the center of the lake, next to a huge rock, the glove had become scalding hot.
His heart stirred, and he circled around the huge rock. When he turned to the back of the rock, he suddenly found that at the base of the rock, behind a clump of water plants, there was a hole big enough for one person to pass through.
Without hesitation, Yang Xuan dove into the hole like a fish.
This was a naturally formed tunnel at the bottom of the lake. In the beginning, the tunnel was narrow, only allowing one person to pass through at a time. However, as Yang Xuan went deeper, the tunnel gradually grew larger until it became extremely spacious.
The underwater tunnel was slanted into the ground, and Yang Xuan kept diving. He did not know how long he had been diving, but he suddenly felt the tunnel begin to rise again.
Yang Xuan continued to go deeper. After three lifts, the tunnel suddenly became vertical.
He kept rising. After a while, he saw light. Then, the tunnel suddenly opened up. He sped up and finally emerged from the water with a splash.
After taking in a long breath of air, Yang Xuan finally had the time to examine his surroundings.
This was an underwater karst cave. It looked like a huge inverted bowl. Stalagmites hung down from the top of the huge karst cave, dripping with water from time to time.
The place where Yang Xuan had emerged from the water was a corner of the karst cave. In front of him was a huge stone platform.
Grabbing onto the stone wall, Yang Xuan exerted all his strength and jumped up.
There was nothing on the stone platform. There was only a hole as thick as an arm in the center of the stone platform. And within this hole, a scarlet flame was constantly emitting outwards.
The flame was over a foot tall and as thick as an arm. It burned without any signs of life, and its red light illuminated the entire karst cave.
This is?
Yang Xuan was greatly surprised. He could not help but take a step forward.
Suddenly, a terrifying wave of heat hit him in the face, as if it wanted to incinerate everything. In an instant, his skin was almost roasted.
Yang Xuan was greatly alarmed. He quickly took a step back.
With this step back, the wave of heat quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Geocentric Scarlet Lotus Fire?
A name involuntarily appeared in Yang Xuan's mind. This was a name that he had seen when he was reading the books in the family's library.
That book introduced the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire as one of the Heavenly Flames. It had a special characteristic. Its heat was condensed and did not dissipate. It only formed a high temperature space around the flame. This space could be big or small. Once it was formed, the heat of the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire would only circulate within this space and would not dissipate.
Just now, when Yang Xuan took a step forward, an unbearable wave of heat hit him. Then, when he took a step back, this wave of heat disappeared. The surroundings became cool and cool again. It was as if they were separated by a thin line, as if they were in two different worlds.
This strange phenomenon that defied common sense made Yang Xuan immediately think of the name Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire.
In order to confirm, Yang Xuan tried to take another step forward.
Yang Xuan's step was relatively large. Just as his foot touched the ground, a wave of heat hit him. The high temperature was unbearable even for Yang Xuan. It was as if he would be burned to ashes in an instant.
Yang Xuan hurriedly retreated again. The surroundings became cool and cool again. It was as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking the heat of the flame inside.
Yang Xuan finally confirmed that the flame in front of him was undoubtedly the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire. Other than this flame, there was no other flame in the world that had such a special characteristic.
Yang Xuan exclaimed in his heart. The world was so big, and there were so many strange things. He had originally thought that this kind of strange flame was just a legend. He did not expect it to really exist.
After sighing for a while, Yang Xuan turned his head to look around again. However, other than the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire, the entire cave was empty. There was nothing else.
However, Yang Xuan was not disappointed. To be able to see one of the Heavenly Flames, the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire, this trip was not in vain.
At this moment, the five coloured nebula in his Dantian suddenly moved.
Hmm? Yang Xuan's consciousness instantly sank into his Dantian. In the vast void of his Dantian, the five coloured nebula was slowly rotating. Within it, the red colour that represented the Fire Spiritual Energy seemed to be especially active. It seemed to be overshadowing the other colours.
Yang Xuan's heart moved. He suddenly thought of a problem. If all the flames in the world were formed by the Fire Spiritual Energy, then the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire should also be formed by the Fire Spiritual Energy. As long as it was Spiritual Energy, in theory, it could be absorbed by Yang Xuan. Then, could he absorb the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire?
Yang Xuan's eyes shone as he looked at the quietly burning Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire.
In the next moment, his vision suddenly changed. The Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire in front of him disappeared. In its place was countless leaping red Spiritual Energy. This Spiritual Energy was different from the usual Fire Spiritual Energy. It was not disorderly, but was arranged into a strange array.
Yang Xuan faintly felt a trace of enlightenment. Perhaps it was because of this strange arrangement that the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire had a uniqueness that other flames did not have.
After observing for a while and memorising the strange arrangement, Yang Xuan tried to issue a command to the Fire Spiritual Energy.
However, the Fire Spiritual Energy did not move. It seemed that it did not hear Yang Xuan's command and continued to defend its position.
Yang Xuan frowned. It seemed that this Heavenly Mystical Flame was not something that he could command. Since he could not absorb the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire, then could he create his own Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire?
As soon as he thought of it, the Spiritual Energy in Yang Xuan's body surged. Within the five coloured nebula, a huge amount of Fire Spiritual Energy surged out and hovered around Yang Xuan's body.
Silently recalling the strange arrangement, he immediately issued a command to the Fire Spiritual Energy beside him.
It was easy to think but difficult to do. Yang Xuan discovered that although the Spiritual Energy obeyed his commands, it was extremely difficult to arrange them into a regular arrangement according to his thoughts.
He tried a few times, but if it was not a problem here, then there would be a problem there. For the first time, Yang Xuan discovered that even the nimble Spiritual Energy could be clumsy at times.
However, Yang Xuan was not discouraged. He calmed his Qi and focused his mind as he began a new attempt.
Failure, failure, and failure again!
He tried dozens of times, but still failed. This seemingly simple arrangement was extremely difficult to do.
Yang Xuan focused his mind and calmed his Qi. He extended his consciousness and once again felt the arrangement of the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire's Spiritual Energy. Then, without stopping, he began a new attempt.
Failure, failure, and still failure.
After an unknown number of times, the countless spiralling Fire Spiritual Energy seemed to have suddenly become enlightened and finally arranged the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire's Spiritual Energy Array Diagram.
"Whoosh!"
A red flame spiralled and danced, instantly burning a huge stalactite not far away into ashes. Then, it returned to Yang Xuan and flew up and down.
Looking at the dancing flame in front of him, which was only half a foot away from him, yet he could not feel any heat, Yang Xuan's heart became excited!
Success!
Ecstasy quickly surged into his heart. He had successfully created the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire.
The joy of success was indescribable, causing his thoughts to fly and spread endlessly.
The reason why the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire was different from other flames was because of its strange arrangement of Spiritual Energy Arrays. In other words, all kinds of Spiritual Flames in the world had their own special arrangement. If he could grasp the arrangement of all the Spiritual Flames in the world, in theory, he could create any kind of Spiritual Flame.
Thinking of this, ecstasy overflowed from his face. To him, this was undoubtedly opening a new door.
The Crimson Lotus Fire he created was still spiralling around him. What Yang Xuan did not notice was that the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire in the center of the stone platform suddenly surged and began to spread towards him.
What was strange was that the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire kept getting closer to Yang Xuan, but he could not feel any heat waves. By the time he saw it, the Crimson Lotus Fire in the center of the stone platform had already touched the Crimson Lotus Fire he created.
Hmm?
Without waiting for Yang Xuan to react, the flame suddenly surged. The red flame wantonly danced in the entire space of the karst cave. Wherever it went, countless stalagmites were instantly turned into ashes.
Below the stone platform, the originally calm water surface suddenly boiled, and water vapor surged out. In a short while, the cave was filled with water vapor.
After an unknown period of time, the dancing flames suddenly surged towards Yang Xuan as if they had gone mad.
As the red Spirit Qi entered his body, the Five Colored Nebula in Yang Xuan's Dantian spun rapidly and began to crazily absorb the pure Fire Spirit Qi that had been accumulated for who knows how many years.
In an instant, the Five Colored Nebula seemed to have turned red and was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yang Xuan was so comfortable that he almost groaned. He stood motionless in his original position and concentrated on absorbing the massive amount of Spirit Qi.
After a long time, the Spirit Qi contained in the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire was finally absorbed by Yang Xuan. The Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire completely disappeared. The originally bright karst cave began to turn dark. In the center of the stone platform, there was only a bottomless pit left, proving that a type of Heavenly Flame had once appeared here.
At this time, the Five Colored Nebula in Yang Xuan's body had nearly doubled in size compared to before.
He took a deep breath and felt the surging power in his body. His heart was filled with incomparable joy.
Before this, he would never have thought that in such a short period of time, he not only killed a spiritual beast and obtained its Innate Core, but also went deep underground and learned the arrangement of the Geocentric Crimson Lotus Fire's array diagram. He created this Heavenly Flame and also absorbed the massive amount of Spirit Qi that had been accumulated for an unknown period of time.
A great harvest!
To Yang Xuan, this was undoubtedly a great harvest.
Raising his left hand and looking at the black Netherworld Glove, Yang Xuan could not help but sigh. He did not expect that this Netherworld Black Silkworm Glove, which was originally not particularly precious, would have such a wonderful effect. It could sense the existence of Heavenly Flames.
Treasure! This was definitely a treasure!
He carefully kept the Netherworld Glove and then looked around the charred karst cave again. After he did not find anything, he jumped into the lake that had already returned to its calm state.
Following the original path, he returned to the lake. Diving out of the water, Yang Xuan jumped up and onto the shore. Only then did he realize that Yan Feiwen, Xiao Mei, Xiao Die, and the others were standing in the same place, their faces full of anxiety.
Yang Xuan did not explain what he had encountered at the bottom of the lake.
Seeing that he was fine, Yan Feiwen and the others were relieved. The rest was not something they could inquire about. They already knew this in their hearts.
As for Xiao Mei and Xiao Die, seeing that Yang Xuan was safe and sound, they were also relieved. They did not ask anything, but very obediently helped Yang Xuan put on his clothes.
To them, the most important thing was that their master was safe and sound. As for what their master had done, did he have to tell them?
