Chapter 108: Millennium Earth Heart Milk, Nascent Soul Level 5

"Senior Brother Ye Chen, that enchantress from just now, one look and you can tell she's not a good person. I'm so scared."

Ning Yun clearly knew better how to make men pay attention to her, appearing pitiful and helpless.

As expected, hearing this stirred Ye Chen's protective instincts.

"Junior Sister Ning Yun, don't worry, I will protect you. I just felt that person's aura was quite strong earlier, so I took a few extra looks. We must be careful if we encounter her."

Hearing this, Ning Yun put on a look of lingering fear and took hold of Ye Chen's hand.

Ye Chen seemed to have anticipated this; he grabbed her hand in return, a curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The center of Burning Heaven Valley was a volcanic region connected to a sea of magma.

The heatwaves here were even more terrifying.

The suppression of Divine Sense was much stronger than on the periphery; ordinary low-level Nascent Soul Cultivators would likely not be able to stay here for long.

Strangely, even though it was a Secret Realm, a scorching sun appeared in the sky.

Zhou Chen moved his mind, and a true fire of gold, cyan, and black colors appeared; the air instantly began to distort under the terrifying temperature.

The magma and flames that had been raging just a moment ago instantly withered, as if bowing down to Zhou Chen.

This true fire was exactly the flame Zhou Chen had condensed by absorbing the Golden Earth Glazed Flame and the Great Evolution Divine Flame when he ascended to the chaos dao infant. Zhou Chen named it Samadhi True Fire.

Sensing the terrifying aura of the Samadhi True Fire, the Vicious Beasts in the surroundings scrambled to avoid Zhou Chen.

Before long, Zhou Chen passed through an erupting volcano.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi became exceptionally violent.

Not far ahead, in a cave, a trace of coolness was coming through; it seemed there was something inside.

"Found it!"

After scanning with his Divine Sense, a hint of joy appeared on Zhou Chen's face.

Immediately after, Zhou Chen walked into the cave.

The entrance of the cave was filled with cascading magma, but before this magma could even touch Zhou Chen, it was instantly vaporized by the Samadhi True Fire.

In a short while, Zhou Chen arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

A miraculous scene appeared; despite being inside a volcano, this place had become exceptionally cold, as if soaked in a cold pool.

What came into view was a pond-sized pool of milky white Earth Heart Milk, with more Earth Heart Milk slowly condensing from the Earth Heart Jade Marrow above and dripping into the pond.

Drip, drip!

"Tsk tsk, looking at the degree of condensation, it's at least two thousand years old."

Zhou Chen flipped his hand, and a bolt of Spiritual Qi shot out.

The pond-sized Earth Heart Milk was instantly emptied by Zhou Chen and thrown into the Guiyi Secret Realm.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting someone else's Opportunity, Millennium Earth Heart Milk. 100x return: 10,000-Year Earth Heart Milk * 10."

Even a mosquito is meat no matter how small; Zhou Chen wouldn't turn his nose up at it.

Although the return was small, the 10,000-Year Earth Heart Milk was a rare and good thing.

Looking up at the Earth Heart Jade Marrow above, Zhou Chen did not hesitate and drew the Dragon Flame Sword given to him by the old man Dao Xuan.

Without needing Spiritual Qi, the Dragon Flame Sword easily cut out the huge Earth Heart Jade Marrow as if it were cutting tofu.

He tossed it into the Guiyi Secret Realm.

Some scattered Earth Heart Jade Marrow had no value, so Zhou Chen casually shattered them.

Without the Earth Heart Jade Marrow, the temperature inside the cave rose sharply.

The spring water flowing from the spring eye became incomparably scalding at this moment.

Zhou Chen turned his back, whistled, relieved himself into the water, and quickly left.

Burning Heaven Valley, a desolate and uninhabited mountain forest.

This was the southern part of Burning Heaven Valley. According to Miao Dandan's Opportunity hint, the Saint Rank Medium Grade Void-Breaking Flying Boat was in this vicinity.

Zhou Chen found a safe place, entered the Guiyi Secret Realm, and sat cross-legged.

He poured the 10,000-Year Earth Heart Milk in his hand into his mouth as if it didn't cost a thing.

Gulp, gulp.

If someone who understood were to see this, they would definitely curse him for being too wasteful.

The Spiritual Qi of the 10,000-Year Earth Heart Milk was very gentle, and before long, it filled Zhou Chen's Meridians.

The "Primal Creation Scripture" operated at full power, like a whale swallowing water, quickly absorbing the Spiritual Qi into his Dantian.

However, Zhou Chen still felt it was too slow.

Zhou Chen simply jumped into the spirit pool of Millennium Earth Heart Milk and poured all the 10,000-Year Earth Heart Milk into it as well.

A massive vortex of Spiritual Qi gathered around Zhou Chen.

The Spiritual Qi of the Earth Heart Milk was continuously absorbed, compressed, and transformed into wisps of Innate Spiritual Qi.

Before long, Zhou Chen felt he had touched the Bottleneck.

With a slight push of the "Primal Creation Scripture," the barrier to the Nascent Soul Level 5 shattered instantly.

Hum!

Done, Nascent Soul Level 5!

Everything was so natural and effortless.

The only downside was that ever since he started cultivating the "Primal Creation Scripture," the amount of Spiritual Qi required to break through in cultivation was too high.

Coupled with the Lotus Dao Foundation and the chaos dao infant inside his body, they were all top-tier gluttons.

Ordinary spiritual items simply couldn't withstand being absorbed a few times.

If it were any other Cultivator with an average Foundation, they would probably have already broken through to Nascent Soul Level 10.

This could be considered a shortcoming currently restricting Zhou Chen from increasing his strength.

Fortunately, there was the System; as long as he could intercept good things, his cultivation resources would always keep up.

Five days later, the central volcano of Burning Heaven Valley.

"Senior Brother Ye Chen, I feel like there's something inside!"

Ning Yun's coquettish voice came, making Ye Chen feel a wave of numbness.

"Is that so? Junior Sister, your intuition is definitely not wrong. A few days ago, you found a Heaven Rank Magic Treasure exactly like this. Let's go, let's go inside and see what good things are there!"

Ye Chen pulled Ning Yun along; he was also impatient to see what it was.

After all, he had gained nothing for several days since entering. Although he didn't look down on Ning Yun's Heaven Rank Spirit Treasure, Ye Chen still felt a bit unhappy inside.

Before long, the two passed through the magma and arrived inside the cave.

However, they were not as relaxed as Zhou Chen; they still had to bring out defensive Magic Treasures, consuming a small portion of their Spiritual Qi, to successfully enter the interior.

As the two went deeper, a pond-sized scalding hot spring appeared before them.

Ye Chen scanned the cave with his Divine Sense and discovered that, except for a trace of Spiritual Qi remaining at the top of the cave, other places didn't look like they had any treasures.

"Senior Brother Ye Chen, do you think my intuition was wrong this time? It seems there are no treasures."

Ning Yun's slightly aggrieved voice came.

"It's okay, Junior Sister Ning Yun, it's normal to make a mistake once. Don't be discouraged, there are still many treasures in Burning Heaven Valley."

Ye Chen paused.

"Besides, there are still places we haven't searched yet; maybe there will be a surprise!"

Looking at the scalding hot spring water before him, a hint of curiosity appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.

Splash!

Before Ning Yun could react, Ye Chen jumped directly into the hot spring.

Using both hands and feet, his Divine Sense also continuously explored the scalding hot spring.

"Junior Sister Ning Yun, I've taken a look, there's nothing underneath. Let's go!"

After a full half-stick of incense time, Ye Chen came up.

"But strangely, why does this hot spring have a weird smell?"

Ye Chen frowned and quickly used his Magic power to evaporate the water on his body.

However, the strange smell became even more distinct; it seemed to be a foul, urine-like odor.

"Senior Brother Ye Chen, perhaps this is the nest of some Yao Beast. Since there's nothing here, let's leave quickly."

Ning Yun also smelled the pungent odor, but to avoid embarrassing Ye Chen, she suppressed her nausea and did not make any strange expressions.

With Ye Chen behind and Ning Yun in front, the two left quickly.

Ning Yun did not take Ye Chen's arm as she had before; the faint, foul stench coming into her nostrils really made her unable to bring herself to do so.
