C123 Fire Crystal Ore

This volcano was about a hundred zhang tall. Not a single blade of grass grew on the mountain, and the traces of lava flowing through it were still vivid in his mind. However, from the looks of these rocks, this volcano had not erupted for several decades.

Yih Xuan stood at the mouth of the volcano and looked down.

Several hundred meters below him, the magma was bubbling continuously. Waves of heat waves kept attacking Yih Xuan.

Yih Xuan circulated the Chaotic Sword Technique in his body, forcing out waves of hot air from his body. Yih Xuan had not yet reached the level of a Profound Master, so he could not form a layer of profound energy barrier around his body to block the invasion of the heat wave.

"The Fire Crystal Ore that Shea Lieh mentioned is here." Yih Xuan looked over.

He saw that it was above the magma. There were many big and small mines. These mines were naturally formed. At Yih Xuan's position, some of the mines would reflect a faint red light. Yih Xuan knew that those should be fire crystals.

"Fire crystals are high-grade human-step spiritual objects. Although Shea Lieh said that this fire crystal mine is only seven or eight miles long and is only a low-grade mine, it is still enough for the Zixiao to advance." Yih Xuan thought to himself.

"However, the advancement of the Zixiao will directly devour all of the fire crystals. If all the fire crystals disappear, it will definitely cause the mountain to collapse. If the mountain collapses too much, it might indirectly cause the volcano to erupt. " Yih Xuan then thought.

"When the time comes,i may face the pressure of huge rocks and the risk of magma entering my body. The pressure of the huge rock was fine. With my current physical strength, even if the huge rock weighing hundreds of kilograms hit me from tens of meters high, it would at most cause me some superficial wounds."

"But the magma is different when it enters my body. The temperature inside the magma has probably reached more than a thousand degrees. Even if my body, which is equivalent to a high-grade human-step Xuan Artifact, enters it, it won't take long for a wisp of gray smoke to come out!"

Boom!

As if in response to Yih Xuan's words, a huge rock fell into the magma. It gurgled and gurgled for half a breath's time. * Hong Long...... *

Yih Xuan's face was solemn. Due to years of being tested by the high temperature, although the rocks on the volcano had not evolved into spiritual objects, the hardness of each rock was not lower than an average medium-grade human-step Xuan Artifact.

Even such a rock was completely melted in just half a breath's time. It could be imagined that even if Yih Xuan's body was stronger than this rock, he would not be able to hold on for long.

"It would be great if my physical body could reach the level of a supreme grade human-step magic weapon. Although such a physical body can't withstand the high temperature erosion of the magma, it can hold on for a long time, allowing me to escape from this volcano." There was a slight pity on Yih Xuan's face.

Yih Xuan's physical body had already reached the level of a high-grade human-step magic weapon. It was only a step away from the level of a supreme grade human-step magic weapon.

"However,i don't have time to worry about that now. There are only less than twenty days left in the Mystic Spirit Secret Realm. In such a short period of time,i'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to find the third mine. I have to take the risk! " A trace of determination flashed across Yih Xuan's face.

"Besides, if I were to speed up,i might be able to escape from this volcano before the magma destroys my body!"

Yih Xuan looked at the large and small mines on the mountain wall, trying to find a mine that he could enter. Some of these mines had no contact with other places, it was as if a hole had suddenly appeared on a flat surface. If one wanted to enter through these mines, they would have to be a high-level Mystic and be able to fly.

However, due to the impact of several volcanic eruptions, the volcanic mountain had been blasted out of the ground, forming many protrusions that looked like roads. Some of these roads were wide, some were narrow, and some were flat. Some were uneven, some were connected, and some were broken. Some of these paths were connected to the outside of the mines.

Yih Xuan found the widest and most flat road from head to tail. The tunnel connected to this tunnel was about a hundred meters away from the crater. It was neither too far nor too close. If the road continued, Yih Xuan would be able to cross it in two breaths.

If the tunnel was cut off, Yih Xuan could only pray for his own good.

Although this path was broad, it was only relative to the many paths here. In fact, the widest part of this road was only half a meter, and the narrowest part was even 20 centimeters.

Yih Xuan did not choose to use the Eight Steps Chasing the Wind to go down immediately. Instead, he walked slowly step by step. He wanted to see if there were any places that were suspended or not solid on the road. It was fine to step on these places when walking down. With Yih Xuan's current realm of the Eight Steps Chasing the Wind, it was impossible for him to fall down. At most, it would take him some time.

However, if he were to step on these places when he returned, he would be in deep trouble. If he were to waste this little bit of time, it might cost him his life!

This matter concerned his own life, so Yih Xuan had to be careful. Not to mention, after Yih Xuan left, he really found a few places that were suspended with a single step. These places were very secretive. If it wasn't for Yih Xuan stepping on them himself, his soul wouldn't have been able to sense them.

Soul perception could only detect the structure of this thing. As for what the structure was, even soul perception couldn't tell. Legend has it that when soul perception reaches a high level, it can even automatically analyze the composition and what kind of attack it can withstand.

Although Yih Xuan's soul perception could already compare to a second level Profound Master, it was still far from this realm.

Yih Xuan firmly remembered these positions and secretly told himself that he absolutely could not step on them when he returned!

The lower he went, the higher the temperature became. When he arrived in front of the mine, the temperature had already reached up to 100 degrees. With this temperature, it wouldn't take long for an ordinary person to be roasted.

Fortunately, Yih Xuan was a Mystic, so he could use his Profound Art to resist it. Although it would consume some profound energy, for Yih Xuan who had five large dantians, this wasn't a problem. Once the five great dantians were circulated, the consumed profound energy could be recovered immediately.

The mine was neither too big nor too small, it was about two meters tall, and its width could barely allow two people to pass through.

Yih Xuan slowly walked into the mine tunnel, and at the same time, he spread out his soul perception. As soon as he released his soul perception, Yih Xuan felt that his soul perception had been affected. Yih Xuan exerted his full strength and found out that his soul perception, which could have covered nearly three miles, could only cover one mile now. It had shrunk by nearly half!

"Could it be that there is a natural formation here that suppresses souls?" Yih Xuan thought. In Yih Xuan's memories, only formations could suppress the senses of souls.

But very quickly, Yih Xuan rejected his idea.

"Impossible. I can't feel any trace of the formation here. No matter how natural the formation was, No matter how natural the formation is, as long as it's formed, there will definitely be traces of the formation. Although I don't know much about formations, but with the soul perception of a 2nd level Mystic Master, unless the level of this formation is very high... It's the legendary Heaven Rank Array. Otherwise, it's impossible for me to not be able to see a trace. "

Yih Xuan was very confident in this point. As for saying that there was a sky-high formation here, that was even more impossible. The Heaven Rank formation was extremely precious, and it was also an existence that guarded the mountain in the five big sects. Yih Xuan didn't believe that such a formation existed in a random volcano he found.

"There is actually no formation? Then why? Why is my soul perception suppressed here?" Yih Xuan lowered his head and thought. As he thought, Yih Xuan's soul perception couldn't help but extend downwards. He wanted to find out what was going on.

However, the deeper he went, the greater the suppression on his soul perception. When it reached the surface of the magma, Yih Xuan found that his soul perception could no longer enter it. If he forced his way in, he might even hurt his soul.

"Temperature will suppress soul perception?" Yih Xuan was surprised.

Seeing this phenomenon, Yih Xuan thought for a while and naturally came to a conclusion. However, Yih Xuan was still a little surprised by this result. Soul perception could not be felt, but the temperature could be felt. The temperature could suppress soul perception, and even harm the soul. This made Yih Xuan a little surprised.

"However, it does make sense if I think about it. The soul can be a type of energy, but the temperature can also be a type of energy. Since both of them are energy, they can naturally affect each other as well. I normally won't be able to feel its influence because I have always been at a similar temperature."

"Wasn't there a rumor in ancient times that there were powerful evil profound practitioners who even used their own profound strength to forcefully detain and destroy a person's soul? The profound strength has a physical form and quality, and it can even affect the soul. Why can't the temperature be high? " Very quickly, Yih Xuan understood.

However, from this matter, Yih Xuan also discovered that his knowledge was somewhat lacking and not comprehensive. These things should have been recorded in the sect, but he had never seen them before.

"When I go back,i must read these materials properly." Yih Xuan thought to himself.
