The Bi Fang Divine Bird!
There was a record in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, West Mountain Scripture. 'There's a bird that looks like a crane. It has one leg, red markings, green skin, and a white beak. Its name is Bi Fang. It's called Bi Fang.
Bi Fang is a sign of fire. There will be fire wherever it appears. '
Meanwhile, the thing before him was covered in flames and looked like a crow.
At first glance, Ye Chen thought it was a Bi Fang. He subsequently shook his head and said, "It's not a Bi Fang. It looks like a fire crow, and it doesn't seem to have a physical body!"
He grabbed the fire crow before him. It was shocked, and the flames on its body grew more intense. It charged at Ye Chen again after shrieking. It even spat flames out of its mouth.
However, the flames did not affect Ye Chen's body at all.
Ye Chen grabbed it accurately. In the next second, it turned into a ball of fire and merged into the sea of fire around him. "It really isn't a physical body. It seems like a virtual body formed by the flames here. But why would it form a fire crow? Could it be … "
With a thought, he turned around and continued walking into the tunnel. He had only taken a few steps when several more Fire Crows appeared in front of him and behind him. These Fire Crows were even larger than before. These Fire Crows charged at him without fear of death.
Ye Chen proceeded to walk after lifting his arm and slapping them away.
The temperature within a short 100 meters had risen to over 500 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, there were more and more fire crows blocking his way. From a few to dozens, there were so many of them. If he were an ordinary person, he might have died.
After walking for over 100 meters, the view before him became low-lying. It was a crater that looked like a pond. It was filled with bubbling lava. Meanwhile, there were obsidian walls around him that had cooled down. There was no way out.
Ptui!
At that moment, the lava in the crater was boiling. Countless bubbles came out of it. Each bubble would turn into a fire crow when it rose into the air. There were at least a few hundred of them.
"Kill!"
Ye Chen took out the Almighty Killer Sword. Sword qi spread within 200 meters. All the fire crows that entered the range were torn into countless flames by the sword qi. Soon, none of them were left alive.
The flying sword in his hand seemed to have sensed something. It suddenly slashed behind him, and a shriek came from behind him.
Ye Chen turned his head to look.
A giant Fire Raven about a meter tall was clinging to the rock wall, looking at him with a fearful expression. Upon closer inspection, one could see that its beak was broken, and blood was dripping onto the rock wall like fire.
"I knew it!"
Ye Chen revealed an expression that said 'as expected'.
He had previously wondered why there would be a Fire Crow Energy Body in this place, and secretly guessed that such a thing might really exist, and that it was hovering in this giant pit, but he didn't expect it to be true.
The one in front of him was the parent of all the fire crow energy bodies. Looking at its appearance, it had cultivated for at least 100 to 200 years, and its strength was around the middle stage of the spirit gathering state.
"You're quite smart, you evil creature. You know how to use incorporeal bodies to exhaust my magic power along the way. You even know how to use hundreds of incorporeal bodies to restrain me and then launch a sneak attack on me from behind."
Ye Chen smiled lightly. "But you've underestimated me!"
If it was an ordinary cultivator at the peak of Spirit Assembly, they would have to constantly use their magic power to create a barrier to protect themselves if they wanted to enter the sinkhole. In the long run, their magic power would be exhausted.
However, Ye Chen did not do that.
The other party roared, but it dared not move forward. It glared at the Almighty Killer Sword hovering above Ye Chen's head. Clearly, the sword attack earlier had injured it to a certain extent.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you're stopping me in such a hurry is because you're afraid that I'll find out about something, am I right?"
Ye Chen proceeded to say.
The giant Fire Crow's fur stood on end.
The flames on its body burned even more.
Ye Chen was fearless. He stretched his arm and pointed at the magma pond beneath him and chuckled softly. "Moreover, your secret is down there. I'm only looking for one thing this time. As long as you don't stop me, I'll consider sparing your life."
He said nothing more after saying that and turned around to walk to the magma pond. At the same time, the Fire Crow attacked Ye Chen like it had gone mad. Clearly, Ye Chen was right.
"Hmph, you're so stubborn!"
A sword gleam flashed and cut it into half.
Ye Chen did not even look at it. He leaped into the rumbling magma and kept going deeper. Approximately ten minutes later, he arrived at the bottom of the magma and realized that there was a stone door at the bottom.
The stone door was approximately the height of a person and was covered with limestone.
Ye Chen pushed it and realized that it was rather heavy. He picked up his flying sword and cut it open completely, revealing a cave. He covered it with his Divine Consciousness and walked in after sensing no danger.
The scene before him changed again.
It was a narrow space. There was a faint sound of water coming from far away. Ye Chen realized that it was a small river that flowed from west to east when he got closer. It seemed to be an underground current. Meanwhile, there was a pontoon bridge above the river. There was a man-made cave abode at the end of the pontoon bridge.
Could there really be an ancient tomb?
Ye Chen thought to himself. He could not help but step onto the pontoon bridge and walk into the cave abode. He scanned with his Divine Consciousness and saw three stone rooms. Each stone room was approximately 100 square meters and had a simple layout.
Meanwhile, there was a pill cauldron in the middle of the first stone room.
The pill cauldron was made of bronze and was approximately two meters tall. There was a dragon head on each side with a groove at the waist and a lid at the top. There were many firewood scattered around it. However, the firewood had rotted while the ground was covered in dust.
Ye Chen walked to the second stone room. There were a few wooden shelves with various yellowed books on them. One of them turned into dust as soon as he touched it.
In the third stone room, there was a jade bed. Moreover, it was made of cold jade, and it was emitting cold air. An old man in Daoist robes sat cross-legged on the jade bed. His head was buried in front of his chest, and his hands were placed on his thighs, forming hand seals.
Ye Chen looked calm as usual because he did not sense the old man's aura. Clearly, he was long dead. He was surprised when he was going to withdraw his Divine Consciousness. "His body isn't rotting?"
Although the old man was long dead, his body was still intact.
He might not be able to do that with the jade bed alone.
Ye Chen could not help but go forward to check. He was shocked to find out that there was an unusually intense heat in the old man's body. The heat covered his entire body and merged with the chill coming out of the jade bed beneath him. As the heat and ice alternated, his body was protected.
"What's this?!"
Ye Chen scanned with his Divine Consciousness and sensed a black stone in the old man's body. The stone was approximately the size of an egg. There was a golden flame flickering in the middle.
The golden flame was merely the size of a fingernail, but it gave Ye Chen an unusually dangerous feeling. Ye Chen was surprised and delighted. "It's the Golden Fire Crystal!"
