As Long Chen walked, observing the terrain, he suddenly stopped, his face showing surprise:
"Isn't this the scorched earth land we saw in the Flower of the Great Dao?"
Long Chen suddenly remembered that when he first viewed the Three Thousand Worlds from the spatial gate, he saw a scorched earth. His memory was astonishing; as he walked, he memorized the surrounding terrain, and it matched the scene he had seen before.
"I remember at the core of the Scorched Earth Land, there was a colorful glow, seemingly a wave of flames." Suddenly, Long Chen felt a thought in his heart. If this was the scorched earth, he might have arrived at a treasure land.
"Huo Ling'er, come on, let's cooperate." Long Chen immediately took out a formation disk, which had a pointer on it.
Long Chen pointed his finger at the needle, and at that moment, Huo Ling'er appeared behind him, her small hand resting on his shoulder. Both closed their eyes at the same time, and their sensory powers instantly dispersed.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Suddenly, the needle on the array disk shook and finally pointed to a spot, stopping at a certain location.
"Detected. The flame fluctuations are in that direction. Let's go check on the blessings of the Butterfly Spirit Clan. Whether they work or not depends on this time." Long Chen chuckled.
Long Chen took out a dozen talismans, crushed one one, and his body instantly vanished, only to reappear. The surroundings had already changed.
This is a directional teleportation talisman that can lock onto a general direction for teleportation. It's much faster than running and less likely to be exposed.
Long Chen used seven directional teleportation talismans in succession. Huo Ling'er transmitted her voice: "Brother Long Chen, I sensed the flame fluctuations. We're a bit off the rail, a little to the left." "
Directional teleportation talismans are transmitted in a straight line, with unfixed distances, so spatial fluctuations can cause some deviation.
Following Huo Ling'er's directions, Long Chen used two more teleportation talismans. This time, without Huo Ling'er's guidance, he himself sensed a powerful flame fluctuation.
The air was filled with terrifying flames, the world seemed about to be set ablaze, yet it brought a chilling chill.
"This fluctuation... ... Ice Soul Divine Flame. Long Chen and Huo Ling'er cried out in surprise at the same time.
Although Huo Ling'er possessed the Ice Soul Divine Flame and had devoured the Flame of Void, these flames could not become her source fire.
Huo Ling'er controls countless flames. She possesses an extraordinary assimilation ability, able to transform any flame into primordial fire.
But once in the Immortal Realm, this heaven-defying ability was limited; she couldn't assimilate the Ice Soul Divine Flame or the Flame of Flame.
With these two types of flames, she could only control a trace of power. Once that bit of power was exhausted, she would need to use a large amount of primordial power to make up for it.
And the remedy Ice Soul Divine Flame was still just a trace and wouldn't increase further. So, both Huo Ling'er's Ice Soul Divine Flame and Yanxu Fire had just a trace of power, enough to strike once. After that strike, she could only wait to recover.
Although the Flame of Flame of Flame ranks higher than the Ice Soul Divine Flame, because Fire Ling'er can only control a trace of its power, she has not inherited the divine abilities of the Yan Xu clan. The devouring ability of the Flame of Void is somewhat useless to her. In terms of single-round attack power, a trace of the Ice Soul Divine Flame is stronger than a trace of Flame Void Fire.
Huo Ling'er had always dreamed that if she could refine the Ice Soul Divine Flame into the power of this source, her strength would soar to an unimaginable height.
But no matter how hard she tried, trying countless methods, it never worked. Even Long Chen had done many calculations for her. Even though she thought it worked, in the end, she just couldn't succeed.
Later, Long Chen concluded that the flames in the top ten on the Heavenly Fire Ranking were likely subject to specific Heavenly Dao restrictions, and acquired power could not change them. In the end, the two had to give up.
Now, feeling the fluctuations of the Ice Soul Divine Flame, even someone as calm as Long Chen couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, and Huo Ling'er wished she could rush over immediately.
"Don't rush, stay steady. This is the Three Thousand Worlds, and not only are there powerful outsiders but also native beings. We can't be careless."
Long Chen and Huo Ling'er continued using teleportation talismans to teleport forward. After all, Xia Chen had prepared plenty of talismans for him, and since these didn't cost anything, Long Chen didn't mind.
After several teleportations, Long Chen arrived at a huge basin. The basin was so vast that, with his abilities, he could barely see its edges.
In the core area of the basin, pillars of flame shot up into the sky, numbering in the hundreds. Each pillar of flame covered several million li, and each flame fluctuated differently.
"Heavenly Qilin Flame, Blood Demon Flame, Dual Polar Earth Core Fire... Wow, these flames are all from the Heavenly Fire Ranking. When Long Chen saw these flames, his heart couldn't help but race.
Unbelievable, he had actually arrived at a place of fire. Long Chen looked toward the core of the basin, but unfortunately, the core was blocked by a pillar of flames. He didn't dare use his ocular technique to look, so he couldn't see what was happening inside.
"Ling'er, can you see it?" Long Chen asked.
"Can't see it, that's strange. I clearly sensed the fluctuations of the Ice Soul Divine Flame, which should be at the core, but at such close range, the fluctuations didn't become much stronger, just like ... It was as if some force had cut them off. Huo Ling'er asked curiously.
"Isolation?"
Long Chen's heart pounded wildly.
"Let's go take a look."
Long Chen stopped observing and directly used the teleportation talisman. In a flash, Long Chen's figure flickered and he was already at the edge of a pillar of flame.
Only when they reached the edge of the pillar of flames did Long Chen understand what it meant to be shocked. Tens of thousands of miles of flames erupted from underground, reaching straight into the sky. The roar of the flames was terrifying.
Perhaps the power of fire itself isn't very strong, but its enduring strength is truly awe-inspiring.
"Huo Ling'er, can you control this pillar of flame?" Long Chen asked.
"No, its true body is underground, and the flames are flowing. With such violent power, my avatar can't swim downstream—unless the real body goes down." Huo Ling'er said.
Seeing Huo Ling'er say this, Long Chen had no choice but to give up. Originally, Long Chen had planned for Huo Ling'er's avatar to silently control these flame pillars, which would be like setting up a trap. Unfortunately, his thinking was somewhat simplistic.
Since he couldn't, Long Chen could only quietly sneak into the core area. This area was too vast, and the space was unstable. Long Chen didn't dare use a teleportation talisman. Using a teleportation talisman in a place like this could mean he could be transported to anywhere or even get caught in spatial turbulence.
Long Chen told Huo Ling'er to use the power of flames to mask his own fluctuations and dive into the core area.
As he approached the core area, Long Chen saw countless figures and quickly found a hidden spot to hide. Seeing no one was paying attention, he slowly poked his head out. Seeing the group's clothing, his heart tightened:
"Saint Pill Hall."
