Everyone in the entire mining area was stunned by this scene!
The chieftain, Wang Xi, rushed forward and asked, "What happened? Could it be that Mine No. 56 has been breached? The scorching flames below are shooting directly into the sky! There must be the extraordinary fire of heaven and earth, the Yellow Flame, down there!"
Lin Caogen immediately raised his Golden Bell Shield to protect himself and Ling Chong within it!
Lin Caogen has now reached the Nascent Soul stage in his cultivation and is already able to release his vital energy!
He released a double-layered golden bell shield, enough to protect dozens of people!
Zero couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Brother! The temperature inside this mine is now over a thousand degrees! The flames shooting out are even hotter than ten thousand degrees! How are we supposed to get in?"
Lin Caogen frowned and said, "I miscalculated! It will probably take several months for the high-temperature flames below to completely dissipate! Even if the temperature is high, we have no choice but to force our way in! Brother, you go into my immortal abode! I'll go in too! Then I'll use my soul power to isolate myself from the high-temperature flames!"
Zero charge!
He understood that if Lin Caogen failed, he and his immortal abode would be reduced to ashes!
But he had unwavering faith in Lin Caogen!
As the saying goes, a scholar will die for one who understands him! Even if I really die, it's not a big deal!
Looking at the scorching flames shooting out from outside the cave, Wang Xi asked, "Who carved this hole?"
An Imperial soldier reported, "Reporting to the commander! It must be those two new militiamen! One is called 'Kryptonite,' and the other is called 'Kryptonite Liver'!"
Wang Xi frowned and said, "These two have caused such a strange phenomenon as soon as they arrived. I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse! Where are they now?"
The soldier said, "They've been inside the cave the whole time! They haven't come out!"
Wang Xi frowned and said, "Come with me down there and take a look!"
A soldier hurriedly advised, "Chief! Those two might already be dead! The temperature of that flame beam is tens of thousands of degrees! Even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't dare to get close! Maybe those two managed to carve a hole through the Xuanhuang Boulder, and the flame beam instantly turned them into ashes!"
Wang Xi said, "I want to see him alive or dead! Come with me!"
Another soldier said, "Chief, you mustn't! The massive black and yellow rock below is extremely fragile right now! If it shatters completely, the scorching waves of fire will sweep up and we'll all die!"
Another soldier grabbed Wang Xi's leg and said, "Chief, please reconsider! Whether those two militiamen are dead or alive is of no importance. The most important thing right now is to report the situation here up the chain of command so that the Emperor Xuanyuan is aware of it!"
As Wang Xi watched the temperature inside Pit 56 rise continuously, reaching over two thousand degrees, he began to waver in his earlier decision to go down and investigate.
Flames erupted from the pit, and the temperature was extremely high! Even if he could go down unharmed with his current cultivation level, if the Xuanhuang Rock below were to completely shatter and high-pressure gas were to be ejected, his entire cultivation would likely be destroyed!
When working on construction sites, safety is paramount! Why ruin your promising future for two militiamen? If those two die inside the cave, you won't have to pay their wages!
Lin Caogen saw that the entrance to the 1000-meter-deep cave was obscured by high-temperature gases, making it impossible to see anything above! Similarly, no one was sent down into the cave to investigate!
He collected the zero-charge item into the Immortal Abode, and then entered the Immortal Abode himself!
Although this immortal abode is extraordinary, it can only withstand a temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius!
At this moment, the high-temperature flames erupting from the cave can reach temperatures of up to 10,000 degrees Celsius! Even the slightest contact with them would likely cause irreversible damage to the immortal abode!
Lin Caogen hid inside the immortal mansion, using his soul power to wrap the mansion layer by layer!
At this moment, the immortal abode was like a grain of sand in a pearl, while Lin Caogen's soul power was like the outer layer of the pearl, firmly enveloping that grain of sand.
To increase its heat insulation and defense capabilities, Lin Caogen released the power of the Thunderfire Pearl, which was formed by the fusion of Thunder Essence and Fire Soul, and unleashed Heavenly Thunder and Purple Lightning to completely surround the Immortal Mansion!
A purplish-blue pearl, shimmering with light, pierced directly into the hole spewing out a jet of high-temperature flames!
Lin Caogen, Ling Chong, Gu Xun'er, Fang Xueyi, and Du Yumei, who were hiding inside the immortal mansion, saw the mansion surrounded by a sea of fire!
Everyone could feel the temperature rise sharply!
Fortunately, Lin Caogen's soul power was pure and profound! It only took him a little over ten seconds to envelop the immortal mansion and pass through the 300-meter-long hole!
Upon entering the lower level of the Xuanhuang Giant Rock, Lin Caogen saw a sea of magma and fire! The temperature inside was well over ten thousand degrees! If he stayed here for too long, he would find it difficult to endure!
Gu Xun'er said, "Brother Lin! Look! In the center of that sea of fire, there is a ginseng-shaped flame! That must be the Yanhuang Flame! The Yanhuang Flame is a rare fire of heaven and earth, with immense power! The energy of this rare fire is probably a hundred times stronger than the Fire Soul you obtained, Brother!"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "That's right! Let's find a shady spot some distance away first! My immortal abode can withstand temperatures of 5000 degrees Celsius! The temperature will drop dramatically once we're a kilometer away from this strange fire!"
After saying that, Lin Caogen manipulated his immortal abode to float to a corner a thousand meters away. The temperature there was only 4999 degrees, which was just within the defensive range of the immortal abode!
Gu Xun'er looked worried and said, "I didn't expect the Yanhuang Flame to be so powerful! Even experts from immortal sects might not be able to subdue it! Brother Lin! What do you plan to do?"
Lin Caogen looked worried! If he were to use the frequency vibration method to subdue this strange fire, he would have to get within a hundred meters of it!
Ling Chong said, "The Yanhuang Flame ranks among the top ten on the Immortal Gang Continent's list of extraordinary flames! I've heard that extraordinary flames are even harder to find than fire souls! According to geologists, it is estimated that more than a hundred fire souls will be born on the Immortal Gang Continent, but there are only a dozen or so extraordinary flames! On average, it would be good if each region could have one extraordinary flame!"
Gu Xun'er sighed, "That's why Xuanyuanpo took a liking to the Yanhuang Flame, and for decades they've mobilized a million people to mine and search for its traces here! Now that the Yanhuang Flame has been found, refining and subduing it has become a difficult task!"
