NOVEL NEXT Chapter 322: Flaming Hell 2
"Don't these fellow Daoists know to start outside and slowly move inside?" Someone whispered.
"Maybe they have been here before and don't need to get used to the oppressive fire qi."
"Let's just watch the show."
Ten metres, one hundred metres, one thousand metres, …
The group continued walking, and the watchers finally lost interest.
After all, everyone was there to improve their cultivation and didn't plan to waste time watching others.
"It was a good idea to use level seven isolation talismans." Shen Xu said as the group continued walking.
"Let's hope they are enough to deal with the heat in the core area." Zhen Yuan said.
"What are you worried about?" The double started in a nonchalant voice.
"If we can't handle it, we will enter the space and let Feng Xue collect the phoenix treasures." He said, but suddenly frowned.
"What will happen to the Flaming Hell after Feng Xue collects the treasures?" He asked.
"The temperature will begin falling, and the flames will eventually go out. This dangerous area is destined to be lost." Feng Xue answered.
Hearing this, Shen Xu frowned, and a trace of unease flashed in his eyes.
"Will we incur cause and effect?" He asked, but Zhen Yuan shook his head.
"It should be fine." He said and began explaining.
Although the Flaming Hell was a blessed land, it was also a cursed land.
Considering that, the cause and effect of these contrasts cancelled each other, hence they wouldn't be burdened with any karma after getting the treasures.
Time passed, and before they knew it, they had been walking for half a month.
On this day, Feng Xue suddenly stopped with a thoughtful expression.
"What's wrong?" Shen Xu asked.
"We are almost there." Feng Xue answered.
Hearing this, everyone became more attentive and slowed down their pace.
However, what should come will always come, and they finally reached the core area after another two days of walking.
Compared to other places, the core area was hotter, and the level seven isolation talismans could only keep out a portion of the heat.
Other than the heat, Shen Xu and others noticed a bunch of fire treasures.
At a glance, they saw five drops of blood essence floating in the air, a demon core, more than three thousand stalks of phoenix blood grass, phoenix bones, five heart feathers, a fist-sized natal fire, and some other random treasures.
"What a harvest!" Shen Xu exclaimed.
"Master, remember not to touch anything." Feng Xue reminded, fearing Shen Xu would touch something in his excitement.
"I am not stupid." The double said, but soon turned to Feng Xue with a questioning look.
"Feng Xue, can your children use these things?" He asked.
"They can only use them after they awaken their phoenix heritage." She said.
Shen Xu nodded when he heard this.
Fortunately, Feng Xue still had some of the phoenix blood pills that Shen Xu had refined using the phoenix blood grass they found in the Yunshan secret realm.
Combined with blood awakening pills and blood cleansing pills, Feng Xue's children had a high chance of awakening their phoenix bloodline.
After that, they could use the cursed phoenix treasures to further improve their bloodline and advance their cultivation.
Thinking of this, he looked at the treasures and frowned.
"Can they be stored in ordinary storage items?" He asked.
"It's best if I store them in my natal space." Feng Xue said, and Shen Xu nodded.
Soon after, Feng Xue collected everything and stored them in her natal space.
Simultaneously, the surrounding temperature began to fall, and the flames began to flicker.
"Let's get out of here." Zhen Yuan said.
For convenience, Feng Xue, Yang Shi, and Li Wenqiang entered the space while Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu used directional teleportation talismans to escape from the Flaming Hell.
After using ten talismans, they changed their appearance and teleported three more times before they were assured that no one was following them.
"The disappearance of the Flaming Hell is going to cause trouble." Shen Xu said with a playful smile.
"It has nothing to do with us." Zhen Yuan also smiled and pulled the double into his arms.
After that, the two got on another ship and released the others from the space.
"Where are we headed next?" Li Wenqiang asked.
"We are going to the weapons' grave." Zhen Yuan stated, but after hearing this, Shen Xu subconsciously frowned.
"Ayuan, the Flaming Hell is close to the Three-Peaks volcano. Didn't we plan to also go there?" He asked.
"We did, but…" Zhen Yuan sighed and quickly continued.
"The volcano collapsed while we were in the Yunshan secret realm. That place is no longer a dangerous area."
"What happened? Did someone get the treasure?"
"Probably." Zhen Yuan nodded.
He originally hoped Shen Xu would get the treasure in that volcano.
However, after learning that the volcano collapsed, he immediately changed his mindset.
After all, fate was an important factor when dealing with treasures.
Since Shen Xu was not fated for the treasure in the volcano, Zhen Yuan didn't plan to force it.
"It's too bad." The double said, but like Zhen Yuan, he didn't dwell on it.
"Master, Lord Zhen, why are we going to the weapons' grave? Don't we have enough weapons?" Yang Shi asked.
"Let's try our luck. Who knows, we might get something good." Shen Xu said and nonchalantly shrugged.
Travelling to the weapons' grave from the Flaming Hell area took three months.
During that time, the group mostly relaxed and only practised once in a while. After all, rest was an important part of cultivation.
It was afternoon when the ship landed near the weapons grave.
At a glance, the weapons grave was a mountain.
From a distance, it looked like an overgrown durian with sharp outcrops every few metres, but when one took a closer look, they realised the spikes were impaled weapons.
"So many weapons." Yang Shi exclaimed.
"It's said there are immortal and divine weapons in the weapons grave." Li Wenqiang said with a nostalgic expression.
Seeing the look, Shen Xu turned his head with an embarrassed expression.
'Is it okay for an immortal weapon to be sentimental about other immortal weapons?' He wondered.
