Fengwu Qinshang

Chapter 333 Molten Core

After crossing the edge of the volcano, Qin Feng could see clearly that the magma below had fallen very deep. Not far from the mountain pass, a huge cave gushing out heat waves appeared. Thousands of people gathered and swarmed towards the cave like a nest of ants.

There is no road at all. It seems that there are many people, but the entrance of the cave is very large and it doesn’t seem crowded.

There is only one entrance and exit. Nearly ten thousand people go in, but less than eleven come out.

However, those who came out either had extremely high cultivation levels or were all smiling, attracting the envious gazes of many people.

"My friend, look at those people. Some of them have already reached the peak of level eight. It is useless for them to practice here. They can only leave here. They will spend hundreds or thousands of years consolidating their cultivation and naturally upgrading. When they reach the peak of level nine, they can ascend to the fairyland. Look at those people who are so happy. They are the people in charge of collecting treasures from various major forces. They should have gained something!"

Qin Feng frowned:

"Why is this place useless after reaching level eight?"

Huo Bufan smiled and said:

"Aren't friends from here?"

Qin Feng was shocked after hearing this. If he didn't stop it, it might be bad! However, Huo Bufan didn't seem to think much and continued:

"Everyone knows that among the thirty-two holy places for cultivation on Purgatory Star, this is the highest level, but no one knows why it cannot reach level nine. At the peak of level eight, cultivation stops abruptly. Only after thousands of years of natural sainthood outside can one break through the peak of the saint level and enter the god level."

Qin Feng thought about it and thought that this might be a kind of balance of order on this planet. If the peak of the Saint level is so easy to reach, then Luoshen Star would be occupied by the Fire Elves! It is estimated that the situation on other planets should be similar!

He guessed right, it was indeed the case. But even so, every year there are still many people who successfully ascend to the immortal world.

This is a super big cave, and nearly 10,000 people standing inside it don’t feel crowded.

There were quite a few people in the cave calling their friends, and there were also many hanging out together. There were seven or eight people at the least, and dozens of people at the most. It seemed that only Qin Feng and Huo Bufan seemed lonely.

I don't know whether Huo Bufan did it intentionally or unintentionally, but he kept muttering:

"It is said that there are 3,000 passages in the Molten Core, but no one can tell exactly how big they are. The further you go down, the purer the spiritual energy becomes, but it also becomes more dangerous. Not only must you avoid the attacks of the Molten Scorpions, but you must also be on the lookout for sneak attacks from other creatures. But friend Huofeng, just follow me. I know a very secret place that is the best place for cultivation in the Molten Core. Haha! No other place!"

Huo Bufan is a fifth-level Saint Cultivator. If Qin Feng fights alone, he is still confident that he can take him down. Since it is secret, it doesn't matter if he goes there. But why is this guy so enthusiastic? But from this brief interaction, this guy must have a deep intention! This also makes Qin Feng doubly careful.

After an hour, the entrance of the cave was blocked by the surging magma. The strange thing was that the magma seemed to be isolated outside the cave by an invisible layer, which surprised many newcomers.

Watching these people walking into the three passages in the cave in groups of three or five, and the number of people in the cave gradually dwindling, Huo Bufan said:

"Let's go too!"

After saying that, he walked towards the passage next to him.

Qin Feng followed closely behind him and stepped into the passage. In an instant, a heat wave swept over him. However, for Qin Feng, this heat wave was something he could easily deal with even without the Seven-Star Hunyuan Wuji Cloak.

Seeing Qin Feng's nonchalant look, Huo Bufan's mouth curled up slightly.

The passage went all the way downward, and Qin Feng and the other two fell behind. Less than three hundred meters away, another big hole appeared. This time, there were nine branch passages in the hole.

The crowd in front was divided into groups, and Huo Bufan walked into the passage at the edge without hesitation.

"Friend Huofeng, there are more branches as we go down, just follow me closely."

Qin Feng followed closely without saying a word, but his mind began to concentrate highly.

Sure enough, less than a hundred meters down, a cave with forty or fifty branch passages appeared.

"From here, there will be danger. This is the last safe place for the Fire Elves. Other creatures will appear below. Look at these passages. They are like spider webs going downwards. In fact, these passages were dug by Molten Fire Giant Scorpions. Because of the constant invasion of other creatures, these Molten Fire Giant Scorpions have to hide in very deep places."

Huo Bufan said this and found a passage and walked in.

The passage becomes smaller the further you go down. There are already many people here using mining tools to "clang, clang, clang" and chisel at the seemingly extremely hard cave walls.

Sure enough, the branches increased rapidly, with small holes appearing every few dozen steps. Some of them had even been dug through each other, densely packed and crisscrossing.

"These are all dug out by miners. Those with lower bloodline levels come here to mine when they have no hope of upgrading, just to support their families! However, the level of the Fire Spirit Stones that can be dug out here is not high, but it is very safe."

Before Huo Bufan finished his words, a red light was heard from not far away, followed by roars and curses.

Huo Bufan acted as if he was used to it and continued walking forward.

"rub!"

A figure flashed past the two of them. A fiery red fox holding a red spirit stone the size of a teacup in its mouth flashed a few times and disappeared into another passage.

Next, a young man ran out with a mining tool in his hand, his face covered in blood, his eyes red with anger, and he chased after him while shouting curses.

Huo Bufan's pace kept increasing, and Qin Feng followed closely.

As the journey went down through twists and turns, Stone gradually became accustomed to the robbery among the creatures of different races.

However, even though there were many fights and the scene was bloody, no Molten Fire Giant Scorpion appeared. However, the Molten Fire Giant Scorpion is a social creature, and if it appeared, it might be a big disaster!

Thinking of this, Qin Feng became a little worried about those people who were mining by chance!

Huo Bufan seemed to be extremely familiar with this place. He never hesitated and just went down through dozens of passages.

The heat wave was getting stronger and stronger, and Qin Feng didn't dare to release the small fire to protect himself.

The Seven-Star Primordial Wuji Cloak was seen puffing up slightly without wind. Huo Bufan glanced at it and smiled faintly without saying anything.

Suddenly, fewer people were mining downwards, and what followed was that many people found a small cave to sit cross-legged and practice.

Qin Feng knew from his own perception that these people's cultivation levels were not low, at least much higher than his. The two's passing did not attract the attention of these people, and they were all practicing with all their strength.

Suddenly, Huo Bufan slowed down. He raised his hand to signal Qin Feng to be careful, and the two of them continued to walk down with light steps.

"Friend Huofeng, please be careful. We have entered the territory of the Molten Fire Giant Scorpion. Although the chance of encountering them is small, if nothing happens, it's fine. If you are discovered, you can retreat as quickly as possible and don't fight!"

"understand!"

At this point, Huo Bufan still had no intention of stopping. This guy secretly sighed in his heart, "This kid is really good. If I didn't have the body-protecting holy beads, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get here. Does he have them too? No, if he had the body-protecting holy beads, he wouldn't have to rely on this clothes to resist the heat!"

There were still many people practicing along the way, all of them were Saint Seven or Saint Eight. Qin Feng took a breath after seeing this, "Seventh-level Saint Cultivators were already rare on the First Emperor Star, but how could there be so many here? It is said that the Molten Core is so huge that it is unimaginable. Judging from this, there must be no less than a thousand Seventh- and Eighth-level Saint Cultivators!"

"Humph!"

Just at this moment, a cold snort was heard. Qin Feng turned his head to look, and a dagger-like look came over, staring at Huo Bufan in front of him.

Huo Bufan had no expression on his face. He opened his hand, took out the jade token, shook it, put it away, and continued going down.

After seeing the jade token, the man immediately closed his eyes and continued to practice.

Seeing the old man close his eyes, Qin Feng secretly rejoiced. This old man's cultivation was ridiculously high, he should have been an eighth-level Saint Cultivator. Fortunately, he didn't look at him directly, otherwise whether he could hide his identity or not would be another matter!

Finally, Huo Bufan slowed down again, passed through several small passages where no one practiced, and came to a small cave less than 100 square meters.
