Chapter 120 - Fire Lotus Seed, Azure Lotus Platform
Within the fiery world of molten lava, dark currents surged intermittently. Occasionally, extremely violent flows of molten lava would erupt from unknown sources. These dark flows contained immense energy, and being hit by one of them would result in severe injuries, even for a Dou Ling-level expert.
Fortunately, the fire spirit snake was very familiar with this place. It would find the most suitable route and move stealthily to avoid these dark flows before they arrived. Gu He, who closely followed it, easily evaded any threats using the Zhi Chi Tian Ya technique.
In this fiery world, there didn't appear to be any creatures other than the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. It was no wonder because the living conditions here were incredibly harsh. If not for unique creatures like the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, which survived by devouring molten lava, it would be impossible for any other magical beasts, including King of the Purple Crystal Winged Lions, to move freely in this place without being affected.
As they continued to penetrate deeper into the abyss, Gu He, even with the protection of his Xuanbing Holy Armor, began to sense that the external temperature was increasing exponentially.
Realizing this, Gu He quickly increased the power of his Xuanbing armor to maintain its protective barrier.
In this environment where sensory perception was deprived, Gu He couldn't accurately gauge the passage of time. He simply followed the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake diligently.
After some time, Gu He looked around and was surprised to find that the surrounding fiery lava had begun to turn slightly blue, indicating a rapid rise in temperature.
Seeing this, Gu He's heart tightened. He knew this change was due to the increasing heat. If this continued, he would have to expend more Dou Qi to maintain his Xuanbing armor.
He gazed at the surrounding blue-tinted lava with some trepidation. In such an environment where even basic senses were limited, he had no clear concept of time. He could only follow the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake diligently.
Gu He shouted ahead, "Hey, big guy, how much farther is it?"
His voice, carried by Dou Qi, penetrated through the obstruction of the molten lava and reached the ears of the Fire Spirit Snake. The serpent turned one of its massive heads towards Gu He, let out a few hisses, and then turned away, seemingly ignoring him.
In the next moment, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake suddenly increased its diving speed.
Observing the serpent's reaction, Gu He hurriedly increased his pace to keep up.
For some time, the two proceeded deeper into the abyss. Gu He scrutinized his surroundings, searching for any signs of change.
Suddenly, Gu He's eyes were fixated on a source of bright green light not far away.
A green light shone within the molten lava. Gu He focused on it and saw a gentle, glowing green lotus flower standing elegantly within that green light.
Seeing the green lotus flower, Gu He's heart leaped with joy. "I've finally found it!"
"Hiss..."
Beside him, the Fire Spirit Snake issued a sharp sound. Gu He turned to look and saw the creature's massive eyes filled with fear, and its enormous body quivering slightly.
Ignoring the snake's reaction, Gu He's foot pushed off the molten lava. His body, like a small fish in a lake, swiftly moved towards the area covered by the green light.
As his body approached the green light, Gu He clearly felt the temperature around him skyrocket. Sensing this, he quickly increased the power of his Xuanbing Holy Armor.
Licking his somewhat parched lips, Gu He took another step with his foot, finally diving into the area covered by the green light. When his body entered the green light, the expected intense heat did not arrive. Instead, the temperature around him mysteriously decreased.
This unexpected turn of events left Gu He astonished. After a moment, he regained his composure and quickly scanned his surroundings. He finally settled his gaze on the central figure, the green lotus flower.
The green lotus had eight leaves, each resembling a flawless piece of green jade, perfectly transparent. At first glance, it appeared to be immaculate, giving people an irresistible urge to touch it.
Within the lotus flower, a small lotus platform, about two to three feet in size, was discernible. In the holes on this platform, faint points of luminescence radiated. These lotus seeds were condensed from the purest fire attribute energy.
Beneath the green lotus flower, an extremely long stem of over ten meters was covered in tiny tendrils. As these tendrils swayed, Gu He could clearly feel their almost greedy absorption of the violent fire attribute energy from the surrounding lava.
This green lotus flower floated within the boundless lava, resembling a water lily adrift on the sea. If it weren't for the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake leading the way, even with Gu He's exceptional spiritual power, it would be nearly impossible to locate such a tiny green lotus flower in such a vast area in less than a couple of months.
Gu He's body gently approached the green lotus flower.
As he got closer, he could better appreciate its beauty. Such perfection could only be created through the passage of time and the artistry of nature.
Carefully avoiding the swaying tendrils, Gu He slowly reached the area above the green lotus.
At the center of the small lotus platform within the lotus flower, there was a fist-sized hole. However, at the moment, that hole was empty.
Despite knowing that Queen Medusa had already taken the Green Lotus Flame Heart, Gu He still felt a twinge of disappointment.
Shaking his head, Gu He pushed aside his feelings of loss. With his current strength, he could easily reclaim the Green Lotus Flame Heart from Queen Medusa.
For now, it would be safer to leave it in her possession.
Then, Gu He turned his attention to the Green Lotus Platform in front of him and his eyes filled with astonishment.
This Green Lotus Platform had condensed the Earth Fire for thousands of years. As long as he took it and used it for cultivation, his speed would increase by at least three or four times, if not tenfold.
Moreover, in case of confrontation, he could activate it with Dou Qi, releasing the hidden Earth Fire inside. Even if he encountered a Dou Zhong powerhouse, defeating them might not be guaranteed, but at least escaping would be a walk in the park.
