If the Qianhuang Treasured Tree really existed, then they would have to kill it or subdue it at all costs. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to have such a Monster Dao expert around the passage.
Lin Xuan didn't plan to bring too many people. He left the Illusory Demon Orb at the entrance and ordered the Elder Pavilion to find a suitable place to build a base and set up defenses.
He only brought Chi Wufeng, Li Qiushui, two Golden Corpses, and thirty Silver Corpses, flying towards the southeast with the Dragon Sealing Pagoda.
Along the way, Lin Xuan looked down at the scenery below.
This was a completely desolate area with no traces of humans. The ground was filled with undulating mountain ranges, and countless unknown spirit plants grew in the midst of them.
There were giant trees that were dozens of meters wide, and flowers the size of houses were blooming on them. There were giant vines that were hundreds of meters long, and they covered the entire hill. There were spirit herbs that rolled all over the ground, and there were golden catkins that danced in the air …
This was a world dominated by plants. Because of the dense Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, these plants grew luxuriantly and strangely, forming a landscape completely different from the True Martial Domain.
However, Lin Xuan also saw the hidden killing intent. There were countless colorful flowers and plants, giving people a heart-palpitating feeling.
One could imagine that in the upcoming trial of the Holy Lotus Dao, many people would be buried in this land.
But this couldn't be helped. In order to gain a foothold in this world, one had to pay a price.
The Dragon Sealing Pagoda's speed wasn't slow. In just a short fifteen minutes, it had traveled five to six hundred li. Gradually, a smoking mountain appeared in their sight.
It was a barren, dark red mountain over ten thousand meters tall. There wasn't a single blade of grass or tree on the mountain, only thick volcanic ash and dark red rocks.
The Dragon Sealing Pagoda descended from the sky, landing on a flat ground below the mountain.
"Dao Lord, this subordinate requests to go investigate!" Chi Wufeng bowed.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
Lin Xuan refused Chi Wufeng's request. Although Chi Wufeng was strong, that Tree Demon's cultivation was too high. It would be fine if the Tree Demon wasn't in this volcano, but if he encountered it, he wouldn't be able to escape.
He closed his eyes and channeled the Flying Locust Scripture. He opened his hands and a red light flashed out, devouring the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, turning into pig-sized Scarlet Flame Locusts.
One, two, three … one hundred, two hundred, three hundred …
Soon, thousands of Scarlet Flame Locusts flew out of the Dragon Sealing Pagoda's window, heading straight for the crater.
Lin Xuan closed his eyes, but through the eyes of thousands of locusts, he could see everything that was happening outside.
Gradually, the army of Locusts arrived at the top of the mountain and flew into the crater without hesitation...
.. But the Scarlet Flame Locusts, the Scarlet Flame Locusts, Scarlet Flame Locusts.
Lin Xuan gradually discovered that there was a bottomless tunnel in the crater, with smoke rising from it. The locusts went down the tunnel, the surrounding temperature rising higher and higher.
When they reached a depth of three thousand meters, a Scarlet Flame Locusts dissipated with a pop.
This was only the beginning. More than a hundred Scarlet Flame Locusts couldn't withstand the high temperature and dissipated.
Inside the Dragon Sealing Pagoda, Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown. The temperature in the volcano was too high. Even the Scarlet Flame Locusts couldn't withstand it. This had already exceeded the temperature an ordinary volcano should have.
Just as he was thinking of a solution, a flame energy suddenly surged out of the tunnel, instantly destroying the remaining Scarlet Flame Locusts.
"Eh! There's something strange! "Lin Xuan's eyes flickered.
"Master, have you found the Tree Demon?" Li Qiushui hurriedly asked.
"Not yet, but even if it's not the Tree Demon, the volcano is not simple," Lin Xuan said.
The Scarlet Flame Locusts were all dead, but they still couldn't see the situation inside the volcano. This made Lin Xuan a little depressed.
Just as he was hesitating whether to send the Golden Corpse down to take a look, a clear phoenix cry suddenly rang out from the volcano, reaching the ninth heaven.
Screech — —
As the shriek rang out, the temperature of the world rapidly rose, and soon reached an extremely terrifying level.
"Eh! Could there be a Fire Phoenix living inside the volcano? "Li Qiushui exclaimed.
"It might not be a real Fire Phoenix, but it might be the target we're looking for." Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Just as he finished speaking, a crimson divine light suddenly lit up above the volcano. Following that, seven to eight phoenixes bathed in flames flew out, circling above the volcano, staring at the Dragon Sealing Pagoda from afar.
Each of these phoenixes was thirty to forty meters long, with beautiful feathers and graceful postures. Bathed in flames, they looked like divine birds.
Looking at these phoenixes, Lin Xuan was even more certain of his guess.
According to his main body's understanding, the Qianhuang Treasured Tree was a spiritual tree that could bear a Phoenix Fruit every hundred years.
These fruits could turn into Phoenix Shadow Clones and could survive without the spiritual tree. They also had the true Phoenix Divine Ability and were very powerful.
But if these Phoenix Fruits were consumed by a Fire Dao martial artist, it could greatly increase their cultivation. Some of the thousand-year-old Phoenix Fruits could even produce Fire Dao marks, which were very beneficial to Heaven Transformation Realm experts.
Since he confirmed the existence of the target, Lin Xuan did not plan to be polite. He directly controlled the Dragon Sealing Pagoda and crashed into the volcano.
Screech — —
Screech — —
The eight Fire Phoenixes cried out angrily and charged towards the Dragon Sealing Pagoda.
Boom — — Boom boom boom — —
The eight Fire Phoenixes crashed into the Dragon Sealing Pagoda one after another, but they could not stop the Dragon Sealing Pagoda's advance. Instead, the eight Fire Phoenixes were crushed into pieces by the Dragon Sealing Pagoda, turning into flames that scattered in the void.
Just as the Dragon Sealing Pagoda was about to crash into the volcano, a middle-aged man in a scarlet robe suddenly appeared at the mouth of the volcano.
A vast aura of peak Rank 5 spread out from the man's body, causing the space within a hundred miles to become stagnant and scorching hot.
"Peak Rank 5 as expected!"
Inside the Dragon Sealing Pagoda, Lin Xuan and the rest could not help but narrow their eyes as a serious expression appeared on their faces.
"How dare you! You despicable humans, you dare to disturb this Seat's cultivation, you all deserve to die! "
The middle-aged man's eyes were cold and furious. He spoke the human language perfectly, as if he was very familiar with it.
Lin Xuan did not answer and controlled the Dragon Sealing Pagoda to crash into the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and formed a seal with both hands before pushing forward. With a whoosh, a red waterfall like a long river appeared out of nowhere and collided with the Dragon Sealing Pagoda.
Boom!
The red waterfall collided with the Dragon Sealing Pagoda, causing a shocking explosion that caused the space within a hundred miles to tremble.
Lin Xuan was shocked to find that the Dragon Sealing Pagoda was actually sent flying back more than ten miles in an instant before gradually coming to a stop.
At the same time, a scorching hot aura penetrated the Dragon Sealing Pagoda's defenses and surged into the interior of the Dragon Sealing Pagoda, causing Lin Xuan and the rest to instantly feel an intense burning sensation that was extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, everyone's strength was above the Heavenly Change Stage and the Dragon Sealing Pagoda had blocked most of the power, otherwise, they might have been roasted alive.
"This guy is very strong!"
Lin Xuan removed the fire poison from his body and frowned. He pondered for a moment and decided to let Gu Xinghun and Li Haoqing take action.
