Fang Yu jumped into the lake, and before him was a deep green.
The lake water was murky and unclear, with very low visibility.
But after entering the lake, Fang Yu could clearly sense a breath coming from below.
It must be Cao Tian’s aura.
Fang Yu stomped his foot and rushed toward the direction from which the aura emanated.
……
At this point, Cao Tian was already at the bottom of the lake, about a hundred meters down.
Under his feet was the dark earth.
“Right here, below!”
Cao Tian was overwhelmed with excitement, his whole body lying flat on the ground.
And then, his swollen body suddenly shrank to nothing, vanishing from the ground and disappearing into the earth below.
This is the innate divine ability of their immortal race.
can move freely underground.
“I can already feel the heat, just a short distance below!” Cao Tian’s speed increased to its limit as he rapidly approached the heart of the earth.
At this moment, Fang Yu had just landed in the spot where Cao Tian had previously stood.
“Are you alright?” Fang Yu looked down at the ground, his brow furrowed.
He’s not like the immortals, unable to enter the underworld directly.
He had to go underground, the only way was to forcefully create a passage. In other words, he had to punch through the ground.
Fang Yu lifted his foot, just about to step down.
But his foot, lifted halfway, suddenly stopped.
“There’s no need to rush, let’s see what’s down there first.”
Thinking this way, Fang Yu closed his eyes, his right hand with two fingers pointed at his forehead.
Once again opening his eyes, Fang Yu’s pupils glowed red, with white runes swirling within them.
Now, Fang Yu’s vision could penetrate the thick soil and see what was beneath.
The underground order is much simpler than that above ground, with fewer rules and regulations, making Fang Yu’s vision remarkably clear.
Fang Yu frowned and looked straight down. He soon saw a tiny outline.
This figure should be Cao Tian.
That’s why it’s so small, because it’s currently deep underground and far away from Fang Yu.
These people move underground just as easily as we fly on the ground, and though the soil itself is solid, it cannot hinder their progress. What principle is this? Fang Yu mused.
Following Cao Tian’s direction, Fang Yu continued to look down.
Below that, it was pitch black. You couldn’t see anything.
What’s going on? <<<
Cao Tian kept going deeper and deeper into the ground. What was his purpose?
Below ground, it seems like there’s nothing.
Could it be that what Cao Tian is looking for is even beyond the reach of these eyes?
Fang Yu frowned, staring intently at what was below. Then, his brows relaxed.
Within his vision, the location Cao Tian was charging toward actually contained an extremely tiny light point, like a speck of firefly in the night sky.
Because it was too far away, the light spot was so small that it was almost invisible and thus ignored by Fang Yu.
“That must be it.”
Fang Yu stared intently at the pinpoint of light, then his right index and middle fingers pressed against his forehead.
The red light in the eyes shone even brighter!
The white runes in the pupils spun rapidly clockwise.
At the same time, Fang Yu’s field of vision began to zoom in! Constantly getting closer and closer to the light spots.
The speck grew larger and larger.
Soon, Fang Yu could clearly see what the light spot was.
It’s a fire!
Deep underground, thousands of meters below the surface, in a sealed small space, burns a single flame!
The color of the flame is the same as that of any other flame, showing no essential difference.
But Fang Yu knew that this flame was no ordinary flame.
The Heart of the Earth! Also known as the Everlasting Flame, it is a fire that will never be extinguished!
This kind of flame, it is said, existed even at the very beginning of the Earth’s formation.
In the past, many cultivators in the cultivation world spent their entire lives searching for the earth’s core fire.
Only because the fire of the earth’s core can be absorbed into the body!
Historically, there have been several monks who absorbed the earth’s core fire, and they all became renowned masters and successfully ascended.
It is said that the cultivation talents of these few monks were originally in the extremely mediocre category.
After absorbing the earth’s fire, their bodies underwent drastic changes, propelling them to new heights!
Their deeds also became the driving force for other cultivators to pursue the Earthly Fire.
But finding the earth’s core is quite difficult.
First, the heart of the earth exists deep within the ground and does not emit any aura.
There is no quick way to find it, you can only rely on luck.
Those who meet the fire of the earth’s core are extraordinarily fortunate!
And throughout all of human history, only a handful of people have ever seen the earth’s inner fire.
As time passed, the existence of the Earth’s core fire was gradually treated as a legend, and fewer and fewer people sought it out.
Some people believe that the Earth’s core fire has already gone out.
Those powerful beings had absorbed all of the remaining Earth’s core fire.
Unexpectedly, in several thousand years later, it was Fang Yu who discovered the earth’s core fire!
“This…”
Fang Yu was a little stunned.
At this point, he noticed Cao Tian was already quite close to the heart of the earth’s fire.
Fāng Yǔ came back to his senses, his eyes filled with excitement.
The fire from the heart of the earth, delivered to his doorstep. If he didn’t accept it with joy, he would surely be struck by lightning.
Fan Yu bent down, his head facing the ground, floating in the water.
Then, he clenched his right fist, and a surge of golden true qi spiraled upwards from it.
“I hope this punch doesn’t ruin the whole lake.”
Thinking this, Fang Yu punched the ground!
“Boom!”
The originally calm lake surface suddenly burst forth with jets of water, one higher than the last!
Ye Shengxue, not far from the lake shore, changed her expression and kept retreating.
At this moment, she felt the ground start to shake!
“What happened?”
Ye Shengxue’s face was grave, she pulled Ji Feng back a distance.
She was hesitating, wondering whether to notify her family to send people over to assist.
But after some thought, she decided not to do so.
This matter involves the Orderers and another organization, and Fang Yu is also involved. The situation is quite chaotic, and the Ye family is really not suitable to get involved any further.
“Teacher Ji, how long will it be until your companions arrive?” Ye Shengxue asked, looking at the weak Ji Feng.
“It should be almost there,” replied Ji Feng, his face pale.
……
“Wow… what’s going on!? Take a picture quick! It’s a world wonder!”
The surface of the lake suddenly erupted with a jet of water, causing several students who were walking by to gasp in surprise.
At this moment, a man and a woman are hurrying forward.
The man was slightly balding and looked to be in his thirties, while the woman was petite and resembled a middle school student.
These two were precisely the three-star mage Wu Neng and four-star mage Zhi’er, who had long been stationed in Nandou, responsible for keeping an eye on Fang Yu.
The two walked quickly forward, simultaneously noticing something unusual about the lake.
“Zhi’er, what happened?” Wu Neng looked at the water column on the lake and asked.
At this time, the ground also began to tremble.
Wu could not help but be astonished.
“Look at this scared little thing, have the audacity to call yourself an Orderer?” Zhi Er glanced at Wu Neng and said sarcastically.
Wu could only blush and say, “I, I’m not scared! Just… unclear about the situation…”
Before seeing Lao Ji, no one knew what was going on. Let’s hurry up,” Zhi’er said suddenly, her tone becoming serious.
Not long after, the two came across Ye Shengxue and Ji Feng lying on the ground.
“Senior Brother Ji!”
Seeing Ji Feng covered in blood, Wu Neng’s face changed, and he quickly walked forward.
Her delicate brows furrowed as she looked at Ye Shengxue and asked, “Where did the person who hurt him go?”
Ye Shengxue pointed at the lake surface and said, “He jumped into the lake.”
“Jump into the lake?” Zhi’er’s face changed slightly, and she walked to the edge of the lake.
Standing by the lake, Branch extended his right hand, and a staff materialized in his grasp.
Compared to Ji Feng’s staff, Zhi’er’s staff is much shorter, only about half a meter.
But the tip of Branch’s staff glowed with a faint purple hue.
“Zeng!”
Branch silently recited the incantation in her heart, and her staff immediately emitted a burst of light.
Then, a small ball of purple light appeared in front of the staff.
“Fairy, please go and take a look at the situation for me.”
A branch waved gently and said.
This little ball immediately flew into the lake and soon disappeared beneath the surface.
Zhi’er walked back to Ji Feng and the others, her hands swirling in the air, drawing a circle.
Then, a mirror-like presence appeared in the air, reflecting the scene beneath the lake.
