Chapter 381: The Fire of the Earth’s Core!
Fang Yu jumped into the lake, and before him was a deep green expanse.
The lake water was murky, with very low visibility.
However, after entering the lake, Fang Yu could clearly sense a breath coming from below.
It should be the aura of that Cao Tian.
Fang Yu pushed off with his feet and rushed toward the source of the aura.
…
At this moment, Cao Tian was about a hundred meters deep at the bottom of the lake.
Beneath his feet was a dark ground.
“Right below here!”
Cao Tian was extremely excited, lying flat on the ground.
Then, his inflated body suddenly shrank to the size of an inch, disappearing into the ground beneath him.
This was the innate ability of their immortal clan.
They could move freely underground.
“I can already feel the heat; it’s not far below!” Cao Tian pushed his speed to the limit, quickly approaching the heart of the earth’s fire.
At this time, Fang Yu had just landed on the spot where Cao Tian had originally stood.
“He went down?” Fang Yu looked down at the ground beneath his feet, frowning slightly.
Unlike the immortal clan, he couldn’t directly enter underground.
The only way for him to get underground was to forcibly create a passage. In other words, he had to break through the ground.
Fang Yu lifted his foot, ready to step down.
But as his foot rose into the air, it suddenly stopped.
“No need to rush; let’s see what’s really down there first.”
With that thought, Fang Yu closed his eyes, and with two fingers of his right hand, he tapped his forehead.
When he opened his eyes again, a red glow appeared in his pupils, and white runes began to swirl within.
Now, Fang Yu’s vision could penetrate the thick underground soil and see what existed below.
The order structure underground was much simpler than on the surface, lacking many constraints, making Fang Yu’s vision particularly clear.
Fang Yu frowned, looking straight down, and soon saw a very small silhouette.
This figure should be Cao Tian.
The reason it appeared so small was that he had already gone deep underground, far from Fang Yu.
“Moving underground is as easy for them as flying is for us on the surface, yet the soil itself is solid and cannot block his steps. What is the principle behind this?” Fang Yu thought.
Following the direction Cao Tian was rushing toward, Fang Yu continued to look down.
Below was a pitch-black void, and nothing could be seen.
What was going on?
Cao Tian had been delving deeper underground; what was he after?
It seemed there was nothing below.
Could it be that what Cao Tian was trying to find was something even his eyes couldn’t see?
Fang Yu furrowed his brow, focusing intently on what lay below, and then his brow relaxed.
In his vision, there was actually an extremely tiny light point where Cao Tian was heading, like a tiny spark in the night sky.
Due to the distance, this light point was so small it was nearly invisible, which Fang Yu had overlooked.
“Looks like this is it.”
Fang Yu fixed his gaze on the light point, then tapped his forehead with two fingers of his right hand.
The red light in his pupils became even more dazzling!
The white runes in his eyes began to spin rapidly in a clockwise direction.
At the same time, Fang Yu’s vision began to magnify! Continuously closing the distance to the light point.
The light point grew larger.
Soon, Fang Yu could clearly see what this light point was.
It was a flame!
In a closed small space thousands of meters deep underground, a flame was burning!
The color of the flame was identical to that of other flames, showing no essential difference.
But Fang Yu knew that this flame was anything but ordinary.
The heart of the earth’s fire! Also known as the eternal fire, it was a flame that would never extinguish!
This kind of flame was said to have existed since the formation of the Earth.
In the past, many cultivators in the cultivation world spent their lives searching for the heart of the earth’s fire.
Simply because the heart of the earth’s fire could be absorbed into the body!
Historically, several cultivators had absorbed the heart of the earth’s fire, and they all became renowned powerhouses, successfully ascending.
It was said that these cultivators originally had very mediocre cultivation talents.
But after absorbing the heart of the earth’s fire, their bodies underwent tremendous changes, allowing them to soar to great heights!
Their stories became the motivation for other cultivators to seek the heart of the earth’s fire.
However, finding the heart of the earth’s fire was extremely difficult.
First, the heart of the earth’s fire existed underground and did not emit a trace of aura.
There was no quick way to find it; it was purely a matter of luck.
Those who encountered the heart of the earth’s fire possessed immense fortune!
Throughout human history, only a handful of people had ever seen the heart of the earth’s fire.
As time passed, the existence of the heart of the earth’s fire gradually became a legend, and fewer and fewer people sought it.
Some even believed that the heart of the earth’s fire had long since disappeared.
Those few powerhouses had absorbed all the remaining heart of the earth’s fire on Earth.
But unexpectedly, thousands of years later, it was discovered by Fang Yu!
“This…”
Fang Yu was somewhat stunned.
At this moment, he noticed that Cao Tian was already quite close to the heart of the earth’s fire.
Fang Yu came back to his senses, his eyes filled with excitement.
If the heart of the earth’s fire was delivered to him, he would be foolish not to accept it; otherwise, he might be struck by lightning.
Fang Yu bent down, facing the ground, floating in the water.
Then, he clenched his right fist, and golden true energy swirled around his fist.
“I hope this punch doesn’t destroy the entire lake.”
With that thought, Fang Yu punched down toward the ground!
“Boom!”
The originally calm surface of the lake suddenly erupted with columns of water, one higher than the last!
Ye Shengxue, who was not far from the lake, changed her expression and quickly retreated.
At that moment, she felt the ground shaking!
“What’s happening down there?”
Ye Shengxue’s face was serious as she pulled Ji Feng back a bit.
She hesitated, wondering whether to notify her family to send someone to assist.
But after some thought, she decided against it.
This matter involved the Orderers and another organization, and since Fang Yu was also involved, the situation was quite chaotic; the Ye family really shouldn’t get involved further.
“Ji Instructor, how long until your companions arrive?” Ye Shengxue asked, looking at the weak Ji Feng.
“They should be almost here,” Ji Feng, pale-faced, replied.
…
“Wow… what’s going on!? Hurry and take a picture! A world wonder!”
The sudden eruption of water columns from the lake caused quite a stir among the students walking by the lake.
At that moment, a man and a woman were rushing forward.
The man was slightly balding, looking to be in his thirties, while the woman was petite, resembling a child.
These two were Wu Neng, a three-star mage stationed in Nandu to monitor Fang Yu, and Zhi Er, a four-star mage.
The two hurried forward, noticing the abnormality on the lake’s surface.
“Zhi Er, what’s going on?” Wu Neng asked, looking at the water columns on the lake.
At that moment, the ground began to shake as well.
Wu Neng’s face showed some shock.
“Look at you, scared like this; how can you call yourself an Orderer?” Zhi Er glanced at Wu Neng, mocking him.
Wu Neng’s face turned red as he said, “I-I’m not scared! I just don’t understand the situation…”
“Before we see Old Ji, no one knows what’s going on. Let’s move faster,” Zhi Er’s tone suddenly became serious.
Before long, they saw Ye Shengxue and Ji Feng lying on the ground.
“Senior Ji!”
Seeing Ji Feng covered in blood, Wu Neng’s expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward.
Zhi Er frowned, looking at Ye Shengxue, and asked, “Where did the person who injured him go?”
Ye Shengxue pointed to the lake and said, “He jumped into the lake.”
“Jumped into the lake?” Zhi Er’s expression changed slightly as she walked to the lake’s edge.
Standing by the lake, Zhi Er extended her right hand, and a staff appeared out of thin air in her hand.
Compared to Ji Feng’s staff, Zhi Er’s was much shorter, only about half a meter long.
However, the tip of Zhi Er’s staff glowed with a faint purple light.
“Whoosh!”
Zhi Er silently recited a spell in her heart, and the staff emitted a burst of light.
Then, a small ball glowing with purple light appeared in front of the staff.
“Little sprite, go down and check the situation for me.”
Zhi Er waved her hand gently and said.
The small ball immediately flew into the lake, quickly disappearing beneath the surface.
Zhi Er returned to Ji Feng and the others, swinging her hands in the air to draw a circle.
Then, a mirror-like object appeared in the air, revealing the scene at the bottom of the lake.
