Record of a Demon's Cultivation

Chapter 318: The Molten Flame Fish



Translator: Cinder Translations

Upon hearing this, Jie Se was somewhat unconcerned.

"The three of us are together in this secret realm; not to say we're invincible, but self- preservation shouldn't be a problem. Jie Hui, you're just being too cautious."

Jie Hui retorted, "Too cautious? That Beastmaster Sect cultivator we just encountered only had mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, yet he slipped away right under our noses. We had seven late-stage Foundation Establishment robbers in front and the three of us at peak Foundation Establishment behind, yet we couldn't capture him. Don't underestimate the thoughts and methods of others."

After giving a lecture, Jie Hui continued, "Let's go; we need to set off quickly. The directions for the Fire Lin Wood and the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid are the same. Once we obtain the Fire Lin Wood, we can also collect the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid."

The three of them quickly disappeared into the vast passageway.

A moment later, Song Wen's figure appeared.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Earlier, he had hidden four Sacred Gu in the stone crevices at the top of the passage. Through these insects, he overheard the conversation among the three.

The three monks' targets were the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid and the Fire Lin Wood.

Coincidentally, Song Wen was also interested in the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid.

Thus, he quietly followed them.

The two major treasures in the Canglan Secret Realm: the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid and the Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch.

The Yin Yang Blood Weeping Branch grows along the banks of underground dark rivers and its location is not

The underground dark rivers are complex, with a developed water system crisscrossing like a giant net, covering a vast underground expanse. Cultivators need to delve deeply into it to search slowly.

However, the location of the ten-thousand-year spirit liquid is fixed.

Every time the secret realm opens, ten portions of ten-thousand-year spirit liquid will condense in the Hall of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid.

After following the three for several hundred meters, the passage began to branch out.

As they went deeper, the passage gradually narrowed and shrank, with more and more branches, resembling a large underground maze.

Moreover, with the spiritual sense restricted, even with a map to guide them, one could easily choose the wrong path if they weren't careful.

In Song Wen's hands was a map of the secret realm obtained from the Beastmaster Sect's scripture depository, but the accuracy of the map remains to be verified.

Although anyone could access the books in the scripture depository; the truly valuable items could not be casually browsed.

With the Sacred Gu monitoring the movements of the three monks, Song Wen was not afraid of losing them.

As he continued deeper into the passage, Song Wen noticed something unusual.

The air around began to grow hot and dry.

After walking for more than half a quarter of an hour in the intricate passage, since most of the path inclined downward, Song Wen estimated he had descended over a hundred miles underground.

After making a turn in the passageway, a faint red light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black underground corridor.

At the same time, a wave of heat rushed toward him.

"This must be underground lava!"

Song Wen thought to himself.

It wasn't surprising for there to be underground lava in the Canglan Secret Realm; he had learned about this from the information obtained from the Beastmaster Sect.

Song Wen stopped in place, allowing the Sacred Gu ahead to continue scouting.

Soon, a vast lava cavern appeared before the Sacred Gu.

The cavern stretched over ten miles in length and width, with the lava flowing slowly inside, occasionally emitting deep rumbling sounds.

The lava was bright red, resembling flowing molten iron.

Surrounding the cavern were scorching, smooth stone walls that glowed with a faint red light.

These ordinary rocks seemed to have become extraordinary after countless years of being scorched by the lava.

Inside the cavern, several stone platforms stood firmly in the lava.

On one of the stone platforms in the center of the cavern, a cluster of small trees grew.

There were more than a dozen small trees, varying in height; the tallest was about five feet, while the shortest was roughly one foot.

However, only two of the small trees reached the height of five feet.

The small trees were dark red, with trunks and leaves that were translucent like jade.

On the trunks, overlapping scales-like patterns were densely stacked together.

In the lava cavern, there were three groups of people.

Among the groups, one was a lone cultivator dressed like a member of the Lei family, at the

peak of Foundation Establishment.

The second group consisted of three people: Feng Qi, Leng Tianlu, and a masked man.

The last group was just arriving: Jie Hui and his companions.

Upon seeing Jie Hui and his companions arrive, both Feng Qi and the Lei family cultivator's

faces darkened significantly.

Feng Qi and the Lei family cultivator had already fought a round without determining a victor, and Jie Hui's arrival forced both of them to stop.

The Lei family cultivator glanced at the three monks and then turned to Feng Qi, suddenly

grinning.

"Feng Qi, I suggested earlier that we split the two mature Fire Lin Woods, but you disagreed. Now, with three high monks from the Mixed Yuan Temple arriving, we won't have enough

Fire Lin Wood to go around."

Feng Qi's expression was extremely grim.

Earlier, there had only been one outsider, the Lei family cultivator, facing him, and he had a significant advantage with his three companions.

But now, with the arrival of Jie Hui and her two companions, who were also at the peak of Foundation Establishment, the advantage shifted to the three from Mixed Yuan Temple.

He cupped his hands towards Jie Hui and his companions.

"Three esteemed monks, how about we split the two mature Fire Lin Woods?"

Jie Wu, having released his 'Arhat Golden Body' and returned to his normal height, took a step forward with a domineering expression.

"Beastmaster Sect trash, hurry up and get lost; there's no share for you in the Fire Lin Wood."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi's face darkened to an extreme, his eyes fixed on Jie Wu, but he remained silent.

Suddenly, the Lei family cultivator's body erupted with crackling lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from his original position, darting toward the center of the lava cavern.

"Thinking you can fish in troubled waters? Not that easy!"

Jie Wu shouted.

He raised his hand and unleashed a surge of spiritual power.

This surge of spiritual power, when applied with the "Thunder Escape Technique," was easily

evaded by the Lei family cultivator.

The spiritual power landed before the Lei family cultivator, in the lava a hundred meters

away.

"Boom!"

After a muffled sound, the surrounding lava exploded, blocking the Lei family cultivator's

path.

He halted his escape and landed on a stone platform less than half a meter high.

The spiritual power that fell into the lava seemed to disturb the stillness of the area.

The lava began to ripple, as if some life form was moving within it.

Suddenly, a fish-like demon beast over three feet long broke through the lava, leaping into

the air.

The fish beast was bright red all over, its scales layered like armor, forming an unyielding

exoskeleton.

It opened its mouth, revealing sharp, densely packed teeth.

Continuously flapping its tail, it darted toward the Lei family cultivator at high speed.

The Lei family cultivator slightly shifted his body to evade the beast's charge.

The fish beast arced through the air and returned to the lava below, splashing up waves of

molten rock.

The appearance of this fish beast seemed to stir up a swarm of others lurking beneath the lava.

Hundreds, even thousands, of fish beasts surged out from below, charging toward the Lei family cultivator, bringing a torrent of lava with them.

The Lei family cultivator's expression tightened. He raised his hand to unleash two palm

lightning strikes against the nearest fish beast.

At the same time, a surge of lightning burst from his body, transforming him into a humanoid

flash of lightning, darting to another stone platform a hundred meters away.

As the two palm lightning strikes approached the fish beast, they suddenly exploded, forming

a massive net of electricity that descended upon the creature.

Lightning surged among the many fish beasts, striking down at least dozens of them.

Black smoke rose from the struck beasts, their bright red scales turning charred, but they were

not killed or even injured.

They merely fell back into the lava.

The injured fish beasts did not retreat; instead, they swam near the surface of the lava,

seemingly searching for the right moment to attack.

The Lei family cultivator stood on a small stone platform, observing the fish beasts

swimming around the stone pillar in the lava below, a smile playing at the corners of his

mouth.

"Tsk tsk, is the master finding it too easy to collect the Fire Lin Wood? Deliberately provoking the Molten Flame Fish."
