This lava cave also had small branches. It was unknown where it led and whether it had an end, and they kept moving along the main trunk. There are no lights in the cave, it is absolutely dark. You can only rely on your spiritual sense to discern the topography, otherwise you can't see anything.
Usually, the depths of large caves should maintain a relatively constant temperature. Cheng Tianle felt the same way when he first came in. However, after walking nearly a kilometer inside, the temperature gradually increased and he could also feel the flow of air. There are complex pores above the tunnel, and warm and weak airflow blows from nowhere.
The cave became wider and wider as we walked, and some semi-bubble-shaped ear chambers appeared on both sides, some of which were about the size of a room. Cheng Tianle also discovered that there were a lot of things piled up in some ear rooms, which should be the "treasures" collected by these monsters. This is where they usually rest and practice.
The five little demons did not stop here and continued to lead the way: "Mr. Cheng, we are just around the corner and we have to climb up a bit. That place is very hot and a bit scary!"
Continuing to walk forward, the corridor gradually narrows, the terrain slopes upward, and the slope becomes very steep, almost at an angle of 45 degrees. Cheng Tianle secretly measured the walking distance and sketched a clear three-dimensional picture in Yuanshen. They entered a cave from the side of the deep canyon. After walking up here, they should be at the foot of the red hill in the center of the valley.
It is buried very deep here. If the five little demons don¡¯t bring them here from the far entrance, it will be really difficult to find them!
When going up the steep slope, the temperature rises higher and higher. After only walking more than 200 meters, it feels quite hot. At this rate of temperature change, it¡¯s almost doubtful that if we go any further, we¡¯ll be roasted alive. The five little demons have begun to use their magical powers to protect themselves. Cheng Tianle also cast spells calmly. A sense of coolness enveloped them, resolving the scorching invasion.
A faint light gradually appeared in front of the cave. This light was orange-red. After walking for another two hundred meters, the terrain leveled off and became open again, and finally we reached the end of the cave. This is an underground cave hall with a radius of tens of meters. The four walls are illuminated by a red light, and the light is emitted from below.
There is actually a magma lake below, and the lava is still churning slightly. At the end of the passage is a broken wall, like a protruding arm extending over the magma lake, like a five-foot-wide terrace without railings. Its height is about ten feet away from the surface of the hot lava lake. If it were not for the protection of magical powers, these people would not be able to stay in this place.
Marmot let out a long breath and said: "Mr. Cheng, the place has arrived! We also discovered this place by chance. Sitting on this high stone platform to practice is really helpful for refining the body and spirit. But we usually have to come to this place by ourselves. It¡¯s very strenuous, and you can¡¯t practice for too long at a time. If it lasts more than an hour, you won¡¯t be able to bear it anymore, so you have to leave quickly, and you¡¯ll have to rest for two days before you can recover.¡±
Beaver also said: "Yes, Jimmy was practicing here once, and he accidentally ran out of energy and almost got roasted. It was me who rescued him! Did you find anything?"
Xiao Shao and Cheng Tianle stood on the stone platform and unfolded their consciousness, carefully observing the cave hall and lava lake deep underground, and then stepped back to observe the volleying stone platform they had just stood on. That's where a few little demons practice, and that's why their vitality rhythms carry the characteristics of the refinement of the Heart Marrow Flame.
The two of them unconsciously stepped back while watching, until they stopped at the edge of the downhill corridor. Xiao Shao didn't speak, but sent a spiritual thought to everyone. The five little demons exclaimed: "Oh my god! What is that, a flame? We have been sitting in the flames practicing, but we were not burned to ashes!"
The scene shown in Xiao Shao¡¯s spiritual thoughts was that there was something inexplicably added to the originally empty stone platform, which was a flame as tall as a person. This flame is divided into three layers. The outermost ring is orange gradually turning into pure white. There is a colorless and transparent boundary between the outer ring and the inner flame. The red flame heart in the innermost layer is dancing and burning gently. , actually vaguely showing a human shape.
Cheng Tianle opened his mouth and explained: "It's not that there is really a flame there, but the essence of the heart-marrow flame that pervades the heaven and earth. Xiao Shao turned it into a spiritual shadow so that you can see a specific image. In fact, It is intangible and you cannot see it.¡±
All the little demons said one after another: "Oh, I understand, it's so amazing!" Although they said they understood, they didn't know if they really understood it in their hearts.
This is a phenomenon that is difficult to describe clearly in words. People can only rely on their imagination for a realm that is still incomprehensible. The stone platform is where the origin of the Heart Essence Flame that permeates the heaven and earth sprouts. The surrounding rock formations and the hill above the surface are no different from invisible objects to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As a spiritual body, Xiao Shao has been refining againThe Heart Marrow Flame has been able to sense it very clearly for such a long time, and it can be visualized as a flame in the world of the soul. This is also a magical power of cultivation.
She also said: "We will use this place to practice for a while. During this period, please don't disturb us."
The red squirrel said with concern: "Of course you want to practice here, it's okay, you can practice for as long as you want. But I heard that you are here to take the heart marrow flame, is it the flame we just saw? What if It was taken away by you, can we still practice here in the future?"
Cheng Tianle smiled and shook his head and said: "The flame that Xiao Shao showed you is just a spiritual shadow that does not exist. If it must exist, it only exists here. You can't pick it away even if you want to. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
After sending the five little demons away, Xiao Shao said: "If you use the Heart Marrow Flame here, you should be sure of success if you can use the magical power of the natural creation of heaven and earth. Let me do it this time."
Cheng Tianle smiled and said: "Let's come together, not only to adopt the Heart Marrow Flame, but also to cultivate ourselves."
They once again walked onto the stone platform in the sky, where the shadow of the flame had appeared, and sat down face to face. They sat there for half a month. In the first seven days and seven nights, they did not use the Heart Marrow Flame, but only used it to refine their body and soul. It was here that Cheng Tianle rediscovered the path of spiritual practice and once again passed through the calamity of pill fire.
"Xiao Shao and he practiced the dual cultivation method of connecting spirit and energy, which was equivalent to confirming the original practice, and what she confirmed was her own spiritual practice. Seven days later, Cheng Tianle's tribulation was completed, and Xiao Shao began to refine and adopt the Heart Marrow Flame, and Cheng Tianle became his protector. This time there is no need to spread out the soul to cover the world, just sit down and perform the exercises.
Another seven days and seven nights passed. Cheng Tianle, who was sitting still, opened his eyes, and Xiao Shao also raised a slender hand. In the palm of her hand, a flame the size of a fist was dancing gently, as if it would burn and fly away at any time, but it could never escape Xiao Shao's control.
This is the heart essence flame that the two of them want to adopt. It is originally an invisible and insubstantial trace of the original breath of heaven and earth. It is condensed by Xiao Shao's magic to give it a transformed image. If the magic power is withdrawn, this object will instantly disperse. The Heart Marrow Flame cannot be contained with ordinary utensils, such as the jade bottles and wooden boxes that Cheng Tianle usually used to store elixirs or magic weapons. The Heart Marrow Flame simply ignores it.
" If it were another person, he would have to have a space artifact like the Wind Charm Dance, otherwise even if he could take the Heart Marrow Flame, he wouldn't be able to take it away. Xiao Shao and Cheng Tianle do not necessarily need the Charming Dance of the Wind, because they own the scroll, and the Heart Marrow Flame can transform into the chaotic world in the scroll and become a trace of the original breath of that world.
But they were not in a hurry to do so, and temporarily put the Heart Marrow Flame into the Wind Charm Dance. On the one hand, they wanted to study the characteristics of this object, and on the other hand, they were tired. This place is very suitable for refining body and soul, but it is not suitable for cultivating spirit energy. After half a month, their spirit energy and mana were greatly consumed. After achieving their goal, they got up and left.
When I walked into the cave and looked back, in Yuanshen's mind, the flame as tall as a person on the stone platform was still dancing gracefully. However, the aura of the Heart Marrow Flame that senses the world has not increased or decreased at all. And the heart marrow flame they adopt is to create something out of nothing, and something out of nothing.
How would you describe their experience? I can barely make an analogy. Someone once admired the beautiful scenery of a certain place, and his emotional perception was the enjoyment of life. As long as he can own it, it will be his forever, and the mountains and rivers are still in the same place, and the scenery remains the same. There is a saying from the Supreme Being: "Everything in the world is born from existence, and existence is born from non-being." This is a mysterious and indescribable realm.
Cheng Tianle said quietly: "Xiao Shao, you turned the heart flame into a spiritual shadow in the soul and presented it here. The flame heart in the spiritual shadow vaguely resembles a human shape, like a woman dancing gracefully. This is not only the projection of your mind, but Sensed by the spirit breath of heaven and earth, is it possible that the breath of heart flames between heaven and earth will be felt and gathered into a spirit in the future, just like you back then?"
Xiao Shao pondered: "This is a question that no one can answer. Only the creation of heaven and earth can be known naturally. I am afraid it is the result of the so-called calculation of heaven. This experience is not only confirming the path of practice you have walked, I am also confirming it." The beginning of spiritual practice was in ignorance. Today you and I have come here, which may leave some opportunities. If this is true one day in the future, you and I will have the opportunity to accept another spiritual disciple."
Cheng Tianle smiled and said: "Speaking of these things, there is still no shadow. Maybe the surname is very small, but there are five little demons in front of me who need to be given guidance. But I have made it clear in the Ten Thousand Changes Sect that the first generation of disciples will We no longer formally accept disciples, and the matter of forming a connection and passing on the Dharma has been handed over to Sheng Long and the others."
Xiao Shao: "Having said that, practicing and teaching the Dharma is also about chance. Even Master He Feng recently made an exception and accepted the Tian Demon King Mi Shu as his disciple? What's more, you are far from the time to disappear and collect mountains. Well Since you have traveled here, you might as well change everything??Spread its branches and leaves, leaving behind this overseas inheritance. "
