Chapter 2: The Treasure is Born

  Qu Yu tried to move the giant snake's body, wanting to coil it up so he could enter the mysterious cave to explore, but found his strength was completely insufficient, and the weight of the giant snake was indeed terrifying.

  The giant snake's corpse was of no use, Qu Yi could only think of other ways. He looked around and saw the giant eagle's double claws with joy.

  "I'll just use these eagle claws to climb up!" Qu Yi exclaimed excitedly.

  The giant eagle's claws were very sharp, and Qu Yi had seen them with his own eyes. Those claws could pierce the scales of a giant snake, so using them to dig holes in the cliff was definitely easy, which was enough to support himself step by step to climb to the entrance of the cave.

  It's okay, when Qu Yi was pushed down by Qu Meng, the large iron knife he carried with him also fell down, which happened to be used to cut off the giant eagle's claws.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  After dozens of powerful slashes, Qu Yi finally cut off the giant eagle's two claws.

  "Mysterious cave, I'm here!"

  Qu Yu announced with a happy heart, and immediately waved his eagle claws, grabbing heavily on the cliff wall. One by one, stone caves that could hold the soles of his feet appeared, and Qu Yu stepped on them, climbing up step by step.

  The mysterious cave was over 50 meters high, and soon Quyi climbed up and sat on the edge of the cave, wiping away his sweat before cautiously peeking inside.

  Inside the cave, colorful lights were flashing constantly, and the entire cave wall was like white jade. The dazzling changing colors made it even more breathtaking and mesmerizing. Without a doubt, there must be a light source inside the cave.

  Qu Yu bent down at the entrance of the cave, his ear close to the ground, listening carefully, wanting to hear in advance if there were any monsters inside the cave, so that he could take corresponding measures.

  "There was no movement inside, it seemed that the cave was originally completely sealed, and the weight of the giant snake and eagle had smashed the protruding stone at the entrance, exposing this cave."

  Qu Yu listened for a while, then stood up and thought carefully in his heart.

  Soon, Qu Yi Meng grasped his large knife and walked into the mountain cave to explore. Since he had fallen from the cliff without dying and discovered this mysterious cave, it was his destiny. How could Qu Yi be timid? He naturally wanted to search around.

  One step, two steps, ten steps, a hundred steps... one mile, ten miles!

  Dreamlike brilliance, constantly presenting itself before one's eyes, beauty to the extreme!

  Qu Yì walked along the mountain cave for a full ten miles, roughly arriving at the center of the bottom of Meng Shou Mountain. Only then did he arrive at the deepest part of the mountain cave and saw a magical scene.

  The surrounding cave walls were entirely composed of blue, crystalline stones that shone with a blue flame-like light. On the ceiling of the cave was a ten-meter-long transparent icicle that emitted a blue glow, from which clear water droplets continuously dripped down. Below the icicle was a pool of water about one meter deep and wide, in which a vibrant, multicolored lotus flower bloomed.

  The five-colored lotus flower has a height of about one meter above the water surface, with deep purple lotus stems. The stem tip simultaneously grows out five lotus leaves, each with a different color: gold, green, blue, red, and yellow. The five lotus leaves surround a lush green lotus root, which is evenly distributed with five lotus seeds, also in five colors: gold, green, blue, red, and yellow.

  This is the coveted Purple Stem Five-Colored Lotus of the Cultivation Realm!

  Of course, at this time Qu Yi completely did not understand the meaning of the lotus flower, but only stared in amazement at the flashing light of the lotus flower, unable to comprehend that there was a kind of lotus flower in the world that could continuously emit light.

  "It's really beautiful, a thousand times more beautiful than the lovely flowers I saw in the mountains before!"

  Qu Yu exclaimed in surprise, his right hand involuntarily stretched out towards the lotus root, wanting to touch it and feel it.

  As his hand approached the purple stem of the five-colored lotus, the light emanating from it grew even more intense. Suddenly, the entire cave was enveloped in a crystal blue glow. Qu Yi was shocked and yet still reached out to touch the lotus root, his sensitive hands detecting the rich spiritual energy on it. Just as Qu Yi's right hand made contact with the lotus root, another anomaly occurred.

  Five lotus seeds suddenly burst out of the lotus root, transforming into five rays of light: gold, green, blue, red and yellow. All of them drilled into Qu Yu's mouth and instantly entered his body.

  "Ah!"

  Qu Yu Meng's terrified shout, somewhat fearful, but immediately became ecstatic. Those five lotus seeds would not harm him, but instead bring great benefits to himself.

  Five lotus seeds, containing enormous life energy, as soon as they entered Qu Yi's body, transformed into five surging currents, beginning to flow through Qu Yi's body, entering each of the meridians. The moment they touched an acupoint, it burst open, and the meridians were instantly fully unblocked. The five surging currents flowed into every part of Qu Yi's body, his skin changing, his muscles and bones strengthening, his blood purifying, his bone marrow refining, and his entire body transforming in a positive direction everywhere.

  Qu Yu felt as if he was in a hot spring, his body filled with comfortable sensations everywhere, his consciousness completely internalized, and the outside world's noises were all unknown to him.

  Time is slowly passing away!

  While Qu Yi was in the mountain cave, ten thousand kilometers north of Beast Mountain, there was another strange landscape in Flame Domain Valley.

  The entire Flame Domain Valley, as its name suggests, has molten lava floating and sinking, with flames spewing out of the rocks. Occasionally, countless raging fires erupt, engulfing the entire valley, which stretches for nearly a hundred miles, in an endless sea of flames, with intense heat that knows no bounds.

  At this time, in the sky above Flame Domain Valley, four forces were constantly flying back and forth.

  Wearing cyan clothes, with wooden swords under their feet, there were five people in total. All five of them had achieved the Golden Elixir stage, and their spiritual awareness was fully open as they searched for any movements below in the Flame Domain Valley.

  Wearing a purple-golden robe, with a fiery red crescent moon embroidered on it. There were six people in total, all of whom possessed Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. They stepped on flying swords and rapidly searched for changes in the Flame Domain Valley.

  There were two groups of people, one group wore light yellow Taoist robes and stepped on flying swords, with a total of five people, all of whom were Jindan stage cultivators. The other group wore fluttering white robes, also with five people, all of whom were Jindan stage cultivators, driving the flying sword swiftly through the air.

  These four groups of people are all staring intently at the changes in Flame Domain Valley, as if there is some treasure hidden within that is about to emerge at any moment.

  Behind these four, each of them had a Nascent Soul cultivator waiting in the wings, and none of the four Nascent Soul experts would make a move until the treasure appeared.

  "Huajin Dao brother, what's going on with the Xianyun Sect?" A golden elixir cultivator wearing a purple-golden robe shouted from mid-air.

  Xianyun Sect's Huai Jin heard this and naturally stopped, looking at the person who shouted, smiling: "It turned out to be Yongchuan Dao brother, we haven't found any abnormalities here, do you know what abnormal situation is happening in Huoyue Gate?"

  Yongchuan's face was slender, but his eyes were bright and piercing. He looked at Huajin and smiled: "No, it's been five days now, and from ten days ago, there was a treasure born with auspicious signs, our four factions all came over, but now there is no sign of anything, really disappointing."

  Huai Jin, a middle-aged man with an ethereal figure, yet his appearance was somewhat gloomy and cold. Upon hearing the words, he also sighed and said: "Yes, it seems that all the top masters of our four factions have come out, and we will probably be busy in vain."

  The two of them helplessly smiled wryly and immediately flew away in different directions.

  These four groups are the four major schools of Qi Refining Sects under Cui Mu Xing, namely: Xian Yun Zong, Huo Yue Men, Xuan Yang Guan and Yu Su Pai.

  Ten days ago, a shocking spectacle appeared in the Flame Domain Valley, with ten thousand rays of light shooting straight into the sky, turning the entire world into a crimson cloud, startling all living things and sparking countless thoughts.

  Nature, the four major schools of cultivation are more aware than ordinary people in the secular world that this auspicious sign is a sign that treasures will appear.

  In an instant, Xianyun Sect, Huoyue Gate, Xuanyang Temple, and Yusu Faction all sent people to Xiaguang Source, where they found Yanjing Valley.

  The four major sects, each led by a Yuan Ying period cultivator, were accompanied by several Jindan period experts, and their spiritual consciousness was constantly scanning the flames. The people of the four sects all tacitly agreed that before the treasure appeared, whoever found it would own it by luck. If the treasure appeared, then whoever was stronger would take it.

  More than twenty top masters of the Golden Elixir period were still flying about with vigilance, their spiritual consciousness constantly sweeping across the movements in the Flame Domain Valley. Although it was dry and tedious, they didn't have a single trace of laziness because the scene illuminated by the dawn light showed that this treasure was precious and powerful. Whoever obtained it among the four sects would undoubtedly be able to increase their strength by a notch.

  Four factions coexisted in harmony on the planet of Cuimù, with no one wanting any faction to become too powerful while others remained weak.

  Another half day passed, and all the Golden Elixir cultivators temporarily stopped their search, returning to the side of their own Yuan Ying stage masters to rest and recover.

  Suddenly, the entire Flame Domain Valley burst into a fierce flame, scorching heat waves, and surging magma.

  The hundred-mile-wide Flame Domain Valley was like a giant volcanic crater, with the entire area erupting and spewing out countless magma that shot into the air, as scorching hot gases poured down in chaotic flows, and an uncountable number of gigantic boulders came crashing down from the sky.

  Xianyun Sect, Huoyue Gate, Xuanyang Temple, and Yusu Faction, these four groups suddenly flew into the air, directly reaching the clouds, and from afar, they watched the movements of Yanhuo Valley.

  Excitement and longing, these four groups of people share a common expression.

  People from all four parties naturally knew that this treasure was about to be born.

  Dan medicine entrance, replenish true yuan, method treasure in hand, prepare to seize, four factions' people concentrate and wait.

  Rumble! Rumble! Boom! Boom!

  The flames in the valley continued to erupt, as if the entire ground was going to be incinerated by the hot flow, all substances were thrown into the air, and then fell to the ground, turning into magnificent red flows.

  About half an hour later, the heart-shaking volcanic eruption scene slowly disappeared, and the entire Flame Domain Valley sank directly by ten miles, leaving a huge red pit with scorching heat.

  Suddenly, the bottom of the giant pit station, the red light that filled the sky converged into a beam, piercing straight through the clouds in the air, and under their obstruction, it bent towards the entire sky and earth, instantly dyeing the sky and earth with a crimson hue.

  "Get moving!"

  "Get moving!"

  "Get moving!"

  "Get moving!"

  Four voices sounded at the same time, coming from the mouths of four infant-stage cultivators.

  Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

  Four people flew straight into the giant crater.
