Despite being mentally prepared, Lin Yi broke into a thin sweat as soon as he stepped into the fire realm.
The deep part of the fire realm was hotter than he expected. There’s a stark contrast with the comfortable spiritual energy environment of the wood realm.
Contemplating, he did not activate his spiritual power to offset the heat, but instead chose to bear it with his body.
Although the environment of the fire realm was harsh, it might also serve to temper both body and will.
This was not limited to the body’s sensation alone. The air he breathed in had a hot, spicy feeling too, and the spiritual energy inhaled here caused a burning sensation in his meridians when refined internally.
However, during his cultivation of the Five Thunder Spells, his meridians had been constantly refined by the absorbed thunder and lightning, making them incredibly resilient. As such, this degree of heat was practically negligible to him.
To the cultivators of the fire element, this area was nothing short of paradise. He wondered whether any of the four disciples of the Divine Fire Peak had randomly arrived in this fire realm.
Suddenly, Lin Yi heard a rumbling sound. Looking into the distance, it appeared to be a volcano in eruption, spewing magma and flaming rocks.
This was one of the dangers of the fire realm – the frequent volcanic eruptions, and sometimes even forest fires caused by them.
Moreover, within this realm filled with destruction, there were monster beasts and poisonous insects lurking. A single bite from them might lead to deadly fire poisoning.
According to the Secret Realm Manual, if the Alchemy Room was located in the fire realm, it would be within the biggest volcano at the deepest part of the realm. The earth core fire from within was used for alchemy.
Furthermore, not only was the Alchemy Room situated there, but the final Medicine Garden in the fire realm was also within the volcano, seemingly protected by formations, preventing it from being destroyed by the magma.
Lin Yi looked at the erupting volcano in the distance and recalled the map. With a bitter smile, he felt it was undoubtedly the erupting volcano he saw if things went as they usually did.
One couldn’t enter the Alchemy Room during a volcanic eruption, because,
like the Giant Spirit Tree, this deepest volcano was also a Spirit Vein.
The constant nourishment of spiritual energy made the magma very powerful.
It was too much for even the Qi Refining Cultivators or the Foundation Building cultivators to endure.
Thus, if there was a volcanic eruption, one could only proceed to the interior of the volcano to locate the Alchemy Room after its subsidence and the gradual retreat of the magma.
He pondered whether to rush towards the vicinity of the volcano and wait for the eruption to cease or to find a safe place and wait there.
After all, the closer to the volcano, the greater the danger.
He quickly made up his mind. Instead of wasting time waiting in a safe place, it would be better to head to the volcano and assess the situation.
As recorded in the Secret Realm Manual, the timing of volcanic eruptions was irregular. Sometimes it could last a few hours and sometimes several days.
Lin Yi quickly moved in the direction of the volcano. Along the way, he kept a high level of vigilance, encountering many poisonous insects and monster beasts. Flame from their breath, splattered on nearby trees, corroded large areas in an instant.
He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. The flames carried a poison which double afflicted him — the Secret Realm was indeed fraught with dangers.
If bitten by these poisonous beasts and the fire poison entered the body, perhaps he would end up like Old Huang or Zhou Yun Feng, with his foundations severely damaged.
Once near the volcano, the magma and rocks sprayed out would fall incessantly, shattering upon hitting the ground. The extremely high temperature could almost create a hole in the ground.
The surrounding temperature had also become much higher than before, as if he was in a giant steamer, ready to be steamed alive.
However, his body was strong enough to handle it. Refinement by the Wind Transformation Technique and Five Thunder Spells had resulted in the cultivation of his body and inner abilities far surpassing the typical Foundation Building Cultivator.
The magma that was ejected by the volcano slowly ran down the mountain, raising clouds of smoke wherever it went.
Upon reaching the Giant Spirit Tree, he could ride the Flying Boat to the Medicine Garden, but the volcano that housed the Alchemy Room had been marked with a serious warning in the Secret Realm Manual. It was absolutely forbidden to fly near the crater, lest one risk their life.
Upon nearing the volcano, Lin Yi understood the reason for the warning. There were several giant phoenix-like birds, clad in flames, hovering in the sky. They continuously drew in the spurting magma with their beaks, ignoring the lava that flowed down onto the ground.
These giant birds had incredibly sharp talons and beaks, giving them a ferocious appearance. Especially the flames emanating from their bodies conveyed an oppressive force.
The Fire Spirit Bird raised by the Fire Fierce Senior Uncle from the Divine Fire Peak seemed like only a small bird in front of these giant birds.
Had anyone flown over the volcano, one can imagine that these giant birds wouldn’t let go of food delivered to their doorsteps.
As this volcano was sitting atop the Spirit Vein of the fire realm, it housed the Earth Core Fire, hence, the spouted magma undoubtedly contained a rich density of spiritual energy. Otherwise, it wouldn’t attract these gigantic birds to compete fiercely to draw from it.
If magma helped these giant flaming birds, it would similarly benefit the fire cultivators.
No wonder all the major sects placed such great importance on the inheritance of the Dan God’s Cave Mansion. Once inherited, one might become the master of this Secret Realm, freely allowing disciples in for cultivation or trials..
