Chapter 652: Obtaining the fire rock lotus

Xiao Fan led Wei Zhongshan slowly toward the volcano!

Now, this volcano was no different from a true flaming mountain; the closer they got, the higher the surrounding temperature became.

They had to constantly protect their Physical Body with spiritual energy to prevent it from being incinerated by this scorching high temperature.

Xiao Fan's forehead was drenched in sweat. His spiritual energy was insufficient, and he had only dared to approach after consuming a large amount of Heaven And Earth Treasure to replenish it.

No one knew what kind of unforeseen events might occur nearby, so he felt that taking the fire rock lotus first was the best course of action.

Wei Zhongshan, following behind him, was in the same state, his entire body soaked in sweat.

There was no help for it; the temperature of this flaming mountain was simply too high.

Xiao Fan guessed that if one's cultivation did not reach the Pi Hai Realm, it would be impossible to penetrate this deep!

The two struggled forward, spending half an hour before finally nearing the center of the volcano.

There, a fire lotus was burning with intense flames.

"Is this the fire rock lotus?!" Xiao Fan was stunned, recognizing it at a glance.

It was his first time seeing the fire rock lotus; it was highly conspicuous, with flames constantly radiating from its surface, accompanied by an intense aura of high heat.

Currently, there was no spiritual energy left in the vicinity, and the air was filled with sparks.

In the scorching magma, the fire rock lotus was floating, as if it were rooted and growing there.

"How to get closer?" Xiao Fan muttered to himself. He was still a hundred zhang away from the fire rock lotus, but he couldn't get any closer.

The closer he got to the fire rock lotus, the more he could feel the intense heat waves; even Xiao Fan dared not easily approach further!

Wei Zhongshan, standing to the side, was in an even worse state. Lacking sufficient spiritual energy, his robe instantly burned to ash, and it appeared he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

"Bi, Big Brother…" Wei Zhongshan looked at Xiao Fan with a grim expression.

Xiao Fan exhaled and glanced at him: "You go out first and wait for me outside."

Wei Zhongshan nodded and then left. It wasn't that he was being pretentious, but that he truly couldn't hold on any longer.

Xiao Fan exhaled, pushed his spiritual energy to the limit, strengthened his spiritual barrier, and continued to approach.

But at this point, he could move forward at most a few dozen zhang before being unable to get any closer.

"I've got it." Xiao Fan's eyes lit up. He had forgotten about the Cultivation Technique he was currently cultivating in the Yuanhun Realm: One Thought, Heaven and Earth!

This Cultivation Technique was quite useless, which was why Xiao Fan hadn't used it in battle until now.

Xiao Fan fixed his gaze on the fire rock lotus. It was burning with flames, and within it were seven fire seeds resembling stars.

He activated One Thought, Heaven and Earth.

The magma beneath the fire rock lotus suddenly boiled, creating waves of fire, trembling and forming ripples…

Gradually, these ripples grew larger and higher.

The fire rock lotus above was no longer stable and was slowly jolted into the air.

Xiao Fan knew the Opportunity had arrived. Instead of continuing forward, he channeled One Thought, Heaven and Earth, and an invisible gale wind appeared in the air!

This gale blew the floating fire rock lotus, coincidentally blowing it right in front of Xiao Fan!

Xiao Fan was overjoyed and grabbed the fire rock lotus!

Instantly, the hand Xiao Fan used to grasp the fire rock lotus was scorched. The intense high heat was constantly radiating, and the flames on the fire rock lotus continued to burn fiercely!

Xiao Fan was in a great mood and immediately threw the fire rock lotus into his Storage Pouch!

With the disappearance of the fire rock lotus, the temperature of this flaming mountain instantly dropped.

Xiao Fan exhaled and took flight, leaving the scene.

The retrieval of the fire rock lotus had gone very smoothly!

Of course, if it weren't for One Thought, Heaven and Earth, it might have taken a bit more effort.

…

"This little guy… what exactly is his background? That Cultivation Technique seems to be the legendary One Thought, Heaven and Earth…"

The Black-haired Elder in the temple wore an increasingly grave expression. He had already rated Xiao Fan highly before, but now he realized he had still underestimated him.

The opponent's Yuanhun Realm Cultivation Technique was actually One Thought, Heaven and Earth!!

This was a truly top-tier Cultivation Technique, Heaven Rank High Grade!

Even tens of thousands of years ago, there weren't many people qualified to Cultivate this technique!

Yet now, this youth was actually cultivating One Thought, Heaven and Earth!

He began to grow curious about who exactly was behind Xiao Fan!

…

Wei Zhongshan hadn't gone too far; less than a quarter of an hour after leaving, he felt the temperature radiating from the flaming mountain drop.

"Whoosh"

A streak of light flew over; the person who arrived was none other than Xiao Fan.

"Let's go," Xiao Fan said.

"Big Brother, did you succeed?" Wei Zhongshan was full of shock. He hadn't expected his Big Brother to retrieve the fire rock lotus so quickly.

Xiao Fan nodded; he was also in a very good mood.

Now, this fire rock lotus should be the last great Opportunity within the Secret Realm.

"Okay, okay!" Wei Zhongshan nodded vigorously.

And so, the two departed!

Xiao Fan planned to go into seclusion and find a place to refine the fire rock lotus!

Yin Wushuang had escaped. If Xiao Fan, at the fourth level of the Yuanhun Realm, were to encounter a Yin Wushuang at full strength, he would not be his match!!

Therefore, Xiao Fan needed to continue becoming stronger!

Obtaining this fire rock lotus was the perfect Opportunity!

Around the flaming mountain, the surroundings were a mess, the aftermath of the battle having left the area in ruins.

Amidst the ruins, Liu Liyue gradually opened her eyes. She felt pain all over her body.

"I, I didn't die?!" Liu Liyue was surprised; she was actually still alive!!

And when she opened her eyes, there was no one left in the vicinity!!
