Chapter 381: Talk less, eat more, reaching the seventh level is not a problem

Burning sea.

A famous forbidden area of ​​Zixiao Sect.

When Chu Ning was browsing information from various domains in the Danta Association's library, he saw the introduction to the Fenhai of the Zixiao Sect.

The founder of Zixiao Sect chose to establish the sect here because this is the place where hundreds of earth fires converge.

Earth fire is not only needed by alchemists, it is also important for some monks who absorb fire-related magic powers.

The founder of Zixiao Sect used his great magical powers to control the underground fires in a certain area, originally intending to give them to his disciples to train and subdue in the future.

But these underground fires were controlled in one place, and slowly began to merge and intersect, finally forming a sea of ​​fire that even the powerful gods did not dare to touch easily.

From then on, this sea of ​​fire became a forbidden area for the Zixiao Sect.

The disciples of Zixiao Sect call it the Burning Sea. Only the punished disciples will be locked in the Burning Sea and suffer the punishment of the scorching flames and high temperature.

…

Burning sea.

A sea of ​​red.

There are also surging waves, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not waves but magma that is surging.

This is a sea formed by the gathering of magma.

Endless.

Chu Ning stood on the edge of the lava cliff, escorted in by two elders of the Zixiao Sect.

Half an hour later, the lava slowly receded like the tide, revealing the true appearance of the cliff.

The entire cliff is in the shape of a staircase, extending forward, and there is a cave on each step.

Disciples of Zixiao Sect will be imprisoned in caves of different levels according to the severity of the punishment they receive. The heavier the punishment, the lower they will be imprisoned.

"Chu Ning, choose one for yourself."

An elder of Zixiao Sect spoke up. Although the sect leader had Chu Ning imprisoned in Fenhai for a hundred years, he did not say where he would be imprisoned, because it was just a formality.

By letting Chu Ning stay in Fenhai for a hundred years, the Zixiao Sect's reputation would be saved.

It was impossible to let Chu Ning suffer the pain of being burned by flames in this burning sea. To put it bluntly, from the sect leader to their elders, no one wanted to have any real grudge against Chu Ning.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what happened in Zhuo Jincheng.

The only thing Chu Ning did wrong was to attack Zhuo Jincheng in public without any evidence.

If it were another time, even if there was no evidence, Chu Ning would attack Zhuo Jincheng to settle the old grudge and avenge his master in the lower domain, and if he killed Zhuo Jincheng, their Zixiao Sect would not say anything.

What Chu Ning did wrong was that he did not save face for the Zixiao Sect. However, Chu Ning finally took the initiative to agree to enter the Fenhai, which was equivalent to stepping on the face of the Zixiao Sect and then picking it up again in his hands.

This operation made Chu Ning the most resentful of them, but it was not to the point of resentment.

"You don't need to give me special care. I am willing to be punished. Just treat me as a Divine Transformation cultivator."

Chu Ning looked so sincere that the two elders were speechless.

"In that case, let's go to cell 36."

…

Prison No. 36.

Chu Ning was in the cave, and outside the cave was surging magma. Even though he used his Yuan power to block the entry of the magma, the high temperature was still able to enter through the Yuan power.

In particular, these magmas are constantly flowing like sea water, accompanied by rising tides and terrifying high temperatures, one wave after another, and it will only be slightly better when the tide goes out.

In the magma, the elemental energy of heaven and earth was very thin. In order to resist the magma, Chu Ning had to go all out, especially when the tide was high, the terrifying high temperature was like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making his whole body tingle.

"I'm really asking for trouble."

Chu Ning shook his head helplessly, raised his right hand, and a flame appeared at his fingertips.

The flames appeared and jumped very quickly, which was very pleasant.

The next moment, the flame floated outwards, flowed into the magma along the cave, and transformed into a small fish.

Like a fish in water.

After shaking its tail a few times, it disappeared into the depths of the sea of ​​fire.

"This guy didn't even say hello."

Chu Ning looked at the departing fire spirit, somewhat speechless. He was certainly not a masochist, and he did not expect to gain enlightenment in this burning sea.

The reason why he voluntarily agreed to enter the Burning Sea was entirely because of the request of that guy, the Earth Fire Spirit.

Today's Nian Tangshan has reached a height of 60,000 feet, while the Earth Fire Spirit is only at the fifth level. In the words of the Earth Fire Spirit, he is no longer worthy of Nian Tangshan and feels ashamed of himself.

He wants to upgrade!

There are only two ways to upgrade the underground fire. One is to honestly absorb the energy of the earth veins, slowly strengthen oneself, and achieve a class leap after years and months.

Another way is to devour other earth fires, earth fires of the same level or higher.

The second method is naturally the fastest, but also the riskiest.

The fifth-level earth fires all have their own spirituality, and none of them want to be devoured by their own kind. When they devour other earth fires, there is also the possibility of being devoured by other earth fires.

"Brother, I am not worthy of you now. Even though I know it is dangerous, I still want to try it."

These are the words of the Spirit of Earth Fire. Chu Ning was speechless. This guy was of the same character as Lao Hei. They both believed that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk. If it were him, he would never take such a risk.

If he thought about going to Tangshan, he could just lie down and follow him. Although it was a little slower, it was at least safe. Why take the risk? He didn't understand the thoughts of these guys.

Fortunately, after experiencing this pain for a period of time, Chu Ning gradually got used to it.

This thing is just like scraping and cupping. One high tide lasts about three months, which is exactly the time it takes for ordinary people to do cupping.

In the fifth year of Burning Sea, the Spirit of Earth Fire returned.

Covered with wounds, dying.

"Did the swallowing fail?" Chu Ning asked curiously.

"There are too many Sixth Orders in this Burning Sea. I saw a sixth-order earth fire aura fading, so I wanted to devour it. I didn't expect that there were seven fifth-order earth fires with the same idea as me. The eight of us fought hard, and I finally won. But I didn't expect that the sixth-order earth fire didn't weaken at all, just to lure us closer. Fortunately, I was careful, otherwise I'm afraid I can't come back."

The Earth Fire Spirit cried as he recounted his experiences over the past few years. Chu Ning understood what he had heard. Apart from the part where this guy was bragging, it could be summed up in one sentence: he wanted to devour a sixth-order Earth Fire, but he didn't expect that the other person was fishing, and he almost got hooked.

"Are you guys in the Earth Fire also so scheming?"

"Who said it wasn't true? I really don't know why these guys are so cunning. Can't they be more simple? They are simply bringing shame to our Earth and Fire Realm."

The spirit of the earth fire was indignant and hid in the cave to heal his wounds.

The high temperature that was stinging and painful to Chu Ning was a tonic to the Earth Fire Spirit.

Three years later, the Earth Fire Spirit was resurrected with full blood.

He felt it was okay again.

"Take care of yourself."

Chu Ning sent his sincere blessings to the Spirit of Earth Fire.

"Don't worry, I have learned my lesson this time and will definitely succeed in devouring. Just wait for me to return successfully."

Another boring decade.

During these ten years, Chu Ning was a little bored. This time, it was his real body that came into the Burning Sea, because the spirit of earth fire could only be transferred to the Burning Sea through the real body.

His clone is in the outside world, but in order not to expose the existence of the clone, the clone can only stay in a country of mortals in the Central Region and work as a scholar.

The literati are romantic.

Chu Ning enjoyed it thoroughly, following the exciting plot of a novel in his previous life in which he traveled to ancient times, where he was a great writer and a powerful official, and in the end he did not forget to leave behind red seeds.

He was actually looking forward to it, wondering whether this red seed could blossom and bear fruit in this land where monks lived.

The matter is done and I am leaving! Chu Ning's clone went to another mortal kingdom, and the Earth Fire Spirit came back dying again, this time even worse than the last time.

"Brother, I can't do it anymore. These guys are too much. I just walked a short distance outside the door, and more than a dozen fourth-order earth fires chased me and devoured me. If I hadn't run fast, I wouldn't have been able to see my brother."

"How could they have the courage to let the fourth-level earth fire chase you and devour you?"

"These underground fires have existed in this Burning Sea for many years and have become several families. I am an outsider and happened to break into the territory of an underground fire family..."

Through the story told by the Earth Fire Spirit, Chu Ning also felt a little sympathy for this guy. He was indeed quite miserable.

There are many underground fires in the Burning Sea, and some high-level underground fires can give birth to sub-lineages, just like rivers. If they exist long enough, they will slowly give rise to branches.

The low-level earth fires spawned by these high-level earth fires slowly grow by absorbing the energy of the high-level earth fires. The earth fire spirits, as outsiders, broke into other people's territory and were naturally hunted down by the joint forces.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Since you are excluded, you can draw the underground fire here. Although I can't leave this cave, I can still help you around the cave."

Chu Ning decided to help the Spirit of Earth Fire. The most important thing was that he came to Fenhai for the Spirit of Earth Fire. If the Spirit of Earth Fire got nothing, his hundred years in prison would be in vain.

"Brother, you are my real brother."

The Earth Fire Spirit was overjoyed: "Brother, wait for me here. I will go and seduce one over now."

Watching the Earth Fire Spirit hurriedly leave, Chu Ning restrained his breath so as not to be discovered by the approaching Earth Fire.

Seven days later, the spirit of earth fire appeared, followed by a fish more than three feet long.

A fifth-order earth fire was rapidly chasing after the earth fire spirit.

Chu Ning waited until the other party entered the ambush circle, formed seals with his hands, and a mountain appeared in the magma, falling directly on the head of the big fish.

The big fish was hit unconscious. The Earth Fire Spirit smiled, stopped running away, turned around and swam towards the big fish, biting the fish's body without any hesitation.

This bite cut off half of the big fish's body. The big fish woke up and fled in panic, but the Earth Fire Spirit did not give him a chance. It opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the other fish's entire head.

After swallowing the big fish, the Earth Fire Spirit quietly stayed in the magma and digested it.

Three months later, the Earth Fire Spirit was completely digested and its body became one foot taller than before.

Devouring, this kind of fast technique will inevitably result in waste.

Swallowing a fifth-order earth fire can only absorb half of the opponent's energy. It is impossible to absorb all of its energy.

However, the spirit of earth fire is already very satisfied. What this burning sea has no shortage of is earth fire. The worst that can happen is that it can just swallow a few more.

In the next few years, Chu Ning and the Earth Fire Spirit worked together. The Earth Fire Spirit lured other Earth Fires to come, and Chu Ning secretly attacked them, knocking the other party unconscious, and then the Earth Fire Spirit quickly devoured them.

In twenty years, the size of the Earth Fire Spirit has grown from three feet to three meters, and it has finally entered the sixth level.

The sixth level of earth fire is already enough to pose a threat to the Divine Transformation cultivators.

But the spirit of the earth fire had no intention of stopping, and it couldn't stop.

Once people make quick money and enjoy the sweetness, they become like gamblers, accustomed to the quick money at the gambling table. If they are asked to do a job that earns tens of millions of yuan a month, there is no way they can persist.

The Earth Fire Spirit is now no different from a gambler.

Continue to devour and attack towards the seventh level!

The Earth Fire Spirit shouted out the slogan: Talk less, devour more, reaching the seventh level is not a problem! The Earth Fire Spirit was so ambitious that Chu Ning could not hit him, so he had to continue to cooperate.

Soon, the Earth Fire Spirit attracted a sixth-level Earth Fire, a shark that was more than four meters long, very ferocious, and its fangs never closed during the pursuit.

Boom! Chu Ning used the Mountain Moving Seal as usual, and the mountain fell down. The moment the mountain fell, the Earth Fire Spirit turned around and went towards the shark.

This was a process the two had practiced dozens of times, and it had become a muscular reaction.

However, when the mountain fell down, the shark did not faint, but only broke two fangs. The Earth Fire Spirit was dumbfounded. His behavior at this moment was more like walking into a trap.

The shark roared, swung its huge tail, and bit towards the Earth Fire Spirit with its big mouth.

The Earth Fire Spirit's fin was bitten and it spun wildly, but it could not break free from the shark's mouth. Chu Ning frowned, raised his right hand, and thousands of flying swords flew out of the cave and slashed towards the shark.

The shark seemed to sense the crisis as well. It looked towards Chu Ning with its pair of scarlet eyes. Its fangs loosened and its huge tail slapped towards the Earth Fire Spirit, causing it to roll dozens of feet away.

Whoosh! The shark gave up chasing the Earth Fire Spirit and came towards Chu Ning with a raging wave of fire. The terrifying temperature made the formation outside the cave seem to be melting.

Most of the thousands of flying swords shot at the sharks were directly melted by the fire waves, and a few fell into the magma and were eroded by the magma.

There was a trace of heartache in Chu Ning's eyes. Thousands of magic swords were gone, which meant that hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals were wasted.

"You beast, you are so vicious!"

Since his figure was discovered, Chu Ning did not hide. He shouted loudly and started to form seals with his hands.

Mountain Seal! The mountain peaks reappear!

Full of heavy mountain seals.

The mountain fell from the sky like a giant sword, splitting the magma and smashing towards the shark.

The fire waves from the shark hit the mountain but failed to burn it at all.

Boom! The mountain smashed the shark into the depths of the magma. The shark felt pain, with fear in its eyes, and its head turned to escape.

"Hurry up and don't let this beast get away."

Chu Ning opened his mouth to remind the Spirit of Earth and Fire. The Spirit of Earth and Fire reacted, with a ferocious look on its face, and bit the shark's tail.

Bang! The shark's tail hit the Earth Fire Spirit's head hard, and half of its head was cut off, but the mouth was still there.

The Earth Fire Spirit, with only its mouth left, bit the shark's tail tightly and refused to let go no matter how the shark's tail swung.

Ten flying swords flew out from Chu Ning's right hand again, ten Yuanqi-level flying swords.

Ten flying swords cut through the lava and arrived in front of the shark in an instant. The shark also felt the fatal crisis, and its body suddenly shrank at this moment, avoiding seven flying swords, but three flying swords still pierced his body.

The three flying swords were firmly nailed to the shark like iron nails. The shark rolled wildly in the magma in pain. After more than ten breaths, its movements gradually became slow.

After thirty breaths, the shark was completely motionless, and the Earth Fire Spirit began to devour it.

It took three full days to completely devour this sixth-order earth fire. After the earth fire spirit devoured it, it also began to digest it motionlessly in the magma.

…

Fifty years later.

It is Chu Ning's eighty-ninth year in Fenhai.

The Earth Fire Spirit has evolved into a shark ten feet long.

The surrounding waters are already at the overlord level.

On this day, the Spirit of Earth Fire prepared to go out to look for food as usual.

However, before the Earth Fire Spirit could swim out for too long, Chu Ning's pupils shrank and his gaze looked far into the depths of the sea of ​​fire ahead.

The Earth Fire Spirit also stopped swimming, and after a while, swam back with an excited expression.

"Brother, there's great news!"

PS: I am in the hospital with my wife today. I will resume updating after I am discharged tomorrow. I apologize to everyone.
