The other three groups of monks did not rush to enter the extinct volcano. Some paced back and forth at the foot of the extinct volcano, some sat cross-legged, and simply practiced breathing exercises while sitting on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiang turned around and explained to everyone softly, "This extinct volcano erupts every noon. The heat is so painful that it is unbearable. Only those with Foundation Establishment cultivation can ignore it."

"For your safety, we are waiting here as well."

Dianlong nodded: "Then let's wait a little longer. They are not in a hurry, and there is no need for us to take risks."

Hao Miaojun immediately frowned. "You're talking about catching a dragon and extracting its marrow, but that requires defeating these people first. How many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there? How can we resist them?"

Seeing that Hao Miaojun was about to retreat, Zhang Xiang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I have personally entered this extinct volcano before and am very familiar with the situation inside."

"As long as you follow me obediently, you will have no worries."

"You?" Hao Miaojun looked Zhang Xiang up and down and asked curiously, "Are you also a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"What a fuss!" Mo Tong rolled his eyes at Hao Miaojun and said with natural disdain, "If you weren't at the Foundation Establishment stage, how could you dare to enter this extinct volcano?"

"With the same level of cultivation, demon beasts are naturally stronger than cultivators. What's more, it's a foundation-building dragon, and it lives in its habitat. This extinct volcano is full of magma. Without foundation-building cultivation, entering it is a life-threatening situation."

"If you get separated after entering the extinct volcano, you'll be on your own."

Xue Kong's eyes flashed. How could he not understand this?

The reason why he was willing to follow was that he wanted to see what means Zhang Xiang was planning to use to lead Dianlong and Daofeng, two cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Condensation, to hunt down the Foundation Establishment Dragon.

Now he had some guesses in his mind.

Among the other three groups of cultivators, there were also several cultivators whose cultivation levels Xue Kong could not see through.

But he guessed that most likely not all of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage. It was very likely that each of them was led by a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the other cultivators, like Mo Tong, were at the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.

Come here to seek the dragon marrow that can break through the bottleneck of Qi Condensation.

"The dragon is not an ordinary monster. With the strength of these people, if they want to surround the dragon and hunt it down... I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult. Is there something else that Zhang Xiang hasn't told me?"

Xue Kong frowned slightly. He knew better than anyone here what a foundation-building dragon meant to them.

Not to mention all these people rushing forward, even if a few more foundation-building cultivators came, they probably wouldn't be able to successfully hunt down the dragon in this extinct volcano.

Thinking of this, Xue Kong also began to feel like giving up.

At this moment, several figures appeared from all directions in the distance. Most of the people who came had low cultivation levels. There was even a casual cultivator who was only at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

After the independent cultivator walked out, he saw so many people here, and his expression suddenly changed: "There are so many people with unfathomable cultivation, and they are all in groups. I..."

He heard about a secret place, so he spent a lot of money to buy information and finally found this place. He knew his own limitations and was not greedy for the dragon's marrow, but just wanted to fish in troubled waters and make some money.

Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he could not see through everyone's cultivation level, and those who could not see through their cultivation level were in groups, while he had the lowest cultivation level and was still alone.

Gritting his teeth, he hardened his resolve, not caring about wasting the resources needed to purchase the information. He turned around and prepared to leave: "Compared to resources, life is more important!"

He had just turned around when he suddenly noticed something. He looked up and saw a figure slowly approaching in the sky.

His face suddenly changed drastically, and he muttered incoherently: "Controlling objects to fly, a foundation-building cultivator!"

There is no need to identify the other party's cultivation level.

Just from the fact that he could fly, it was clear that the person was a foundation-building cultivator.

This person was alone, and his appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and all eyes were cast towards him.

He was a bald strong man with a bare chest. He wore a pair of coarse cloth trousers and a pair of gold rings as big as cow nose rings on his earlobes.

Judging from the way his earlobe was stretched, the gold ring should be made of pure gold.

He stood on a giant axe with a calm expression. As soon as he appeared, he glanced at the entire place and suddenly found a ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivator right in front of him, staring straight at him.

The bald strong man grinned, changed the direction of the giant axe under his feet, and flew towards the ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivator.

With a flash of his figure, he instantly appeared in front of the man. Before the man could react, the sturdy man raised his hand and swiftly strangled his throat: "Ninth level of Qi Condensation? How dare you be greedy!"

Click.

The ninth-level Qi Condensation cultivator had his neck broken and had no power to resist.

The corpse was thrown away by the bald strong man casually. The giant axe under his feet floated up, gradually shrank in size, and fell into the hands of the bald strong man, who grabbed it.

Afterwards, the bald strong man ignored the gazes of the crowd, raised his feet and walked forward, without any patience to wait, and walked directly towards the crater of the extinct volcano.

"In the initial stage of foundation building, a cultivator of body refining." Zhang Xiang's face showed a solemn expression as he murmured softly.

"There are not many cultivators who practice body cultivation. One of the reasons is that the methods of body cultivation are rare." Daofeng's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

"The second is to cultivate one's inner strength and cultivate one's body. To achieve success in physical cultivation, one needs to put in greater effort. Depending on the method used, one may even need to endure immense pain and suffering."

Xue Kong lowered his head and pondered, "This person's strength is stronger than everyone here. Due to his physical training, he is irritable and has a strong murderous intent. Once you enter the extinct volcano, you must stay away from him."

All eyes were focused on the bald strong man, watching him walk to the crater of the extinct volcano and look down into the crater.

He was about to step into it.

Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar was heard from the crater of the extinct volcano.

Immediately afterwards, a scorching wind blew out from it, swirling for nine days and blowing on the bald strong man. Although his body remained motionless, the two golden rings on his earlobes began to shake violently and uncontrollably.

"Good! With such momentum, you are worthy of being a foundation-building dragon. I will take your dragon marrow!" The bald strong man laughed loudly towards the sky, and then jumped into the extinct volcano facing the hot wind.

The people outside were watching him the whole time, and seeing him being so domineering, they couldn't help but look surprised.

"Body cultivators are truly extraordinary. Even I, to withstand that scorching wind, would have to circulate my cultivation to resist it. But he, relying solely on his physical body, was able to step into it calmly and composedly."

A foundation-building cultivator couldn't help but admire.

None of them could have imagined that they would attract such a person, but fortunately, although the bald strong man was very powerful, he was only in the initial stage of foundation building and was not impossible to defeat.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, when the hot wind disappeared, the crater finally stabilized.

Everyone at the foot of the mountain stood up, alerted each other, and rushed forward together into the extinct volcano.

It wasn't until everyone entered the extinct volcano that the place finally became quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, two figures slowly flew over from the distant sky.
