Chapter 42: Disaster Brings Fortune Again?

  Being swallowed by something gigantic doesn't feel very good, but it's not particularly bad either.

  Because the time he was swallowed into the mouth was very short, and there was little time difference between the momentary glance just now and seeing the appearance of the soft fish.

  Darkness is just an instant thing, light is the eternal theme.

  A delicate, dense, and subtly shimmering red light net had enveloped the fish, making the scene seem ordinary, much like a common fisherman scooping up fish with a net by the riverbank. The only difference lay in the location of the net and its target being vastly different.

  The small fish in the net were struggling with all their might, but the net seemed to have some magic power, and the more they struggled, the tighter it closed.

  "Good boy, you're really my lucky star! I didn't expect it to be so easy to catch him!" Chen Sen was overjoyed, and indeed he was. After spending more than a hundred years plotting, now that his plan had come to fruition overnight, he couldn't help but feel elated.

  Just happy to be back, but still haven't forgotten about the important things.

  Only to see his hand slightly trembling, the flashing red net suddenly lit up for a moment, and then, this fish with over 2,000 years of Taoist practice was cut into countless small pieces by the red silk net in front of Kong Zhui's eyes, without even having the chance to let out a mournful cry. The bright red flesh fell from the air, splashing up molten rock everywhere, but soon all sank into the churning lava, as if nothing had happened at all.

  In mid-air, there was just a pearly white bead floating.

  That way, it's similar to the python pearl that Kong Zhuo obtained, just with some differences in color and size.

  Smiling, Chen Sen's hand beckoned, and the pearl was put into his sleeve. However, a hint of regret flashed across his face amidst the smile.

  "Senior, if you're free, why don't you go ahead and take care of this bait first?" Kong Zhuo said, looking at the guy's expression.

  Chen Sen looked down and glanced at Kong Zhuo, "You killed my family's Mo Nu, I didn't kill you is already giving that drunkard face, now you actually want me to pull you up, isn't it a bit too much?!"

  "Ah?!" Kong Zuo's face stiffened, "Uh, that, senior, junior didn't know beforehand that the bird was yours, if I had known, even if I had borrowed a bit of courage from you, I wouldn't have dared to do that!"

  "It's because ignorance is no crime that I didn't kill you. As for how you're going to get out, figure it out yourself. Han Er, let's go!"

  "Yes, Grandpa!" The little girl called Han'er responded cheerfully and turned her head to make a face at Kong Zhuo and Chen Sen.

  They all disappeared into the flowing light, leaving only Zikong Zhuo with half of his body submerged in this sea of lava.

  "Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I would have brought that dead bird too. At least we wouldn't starve to death!" Kong Zhuo thought resentfully in his heart. The invisible aura surrounding him seemed to be slowly dissipating, although the speed was not fast, but Kong Zhuo knew that it could only last for an hour at most.

  An hour later, the lava will engulf itself because its innate purple gas can only block the heat, but it cannot withstand the endless lava at all.

  This intangible aura was trapping him at the same time as it was protecting him, leaving him somewhat tearfully amused.

  In any case, I must think of a solution within an hour; otherwise, I'll be waiting for reincarnation!

  The question is, what to do?

  He was best with a sword, which obviously wasn't applicable here.

  Congenital purple energy, can't stop it, earth-based Daoist techniques don't work here, and the condensed jade bead is also useless. Now his opponent isn't an ordinary cultivator, nor even a cultivator, but Mother Nature itself.

  He also calculated whether he could ride the sword and leave this place in an instant when the invisible aura disappeared. The answer was also negative, as the aura's restraint was very deadly, almost sticking to his body, leaving only a small gap between his body and the aura. These gaps were barely enough to allow Kong Zhao's innate purple energy to flow, not giving Kong Zhao any space to ride the sword. And if he had to wait until it completely disappeared, then Kong Zhao also didn't have the confidence to ride the sword away in such a short time.

  He doesn't like doing things that aren't a sure thing, especially when it comes to his life. Finding another way that's safer is the smart choice.

  So what kind of way is it?

  Mahavairocana's Adamantine Body Seal

  These seven words suddenly popped out of his mind.

  Very naturally, with almost no obstruction at all.

  That's it!

  Mahavairocana's Adamantine Body Mantra, a legendary and mysterious cultivation method of the Shamanic tribe.

  In Kong Zhuan's practice, this set of methods is indeed very useful. By using the true fire of the sun to directly forge his body, although it was slow and tight, it transformed his body into a pure earth-based nature. Moreover, his physical strength has also increased greatly. Now thinking back, his current physical strength is at least ten times stronger than before he started practicing. Such benefits are not easily obtained.

  At his current level, the Taiyang Dihou's half-hour operation of the Great Sun Golden Body Technique was already at its limit.

  Don't think that practicing the Golden Elixir under the sun is as simple as sunbathing. In fact, it's far from it. It requires absorbing the sunlight shining on your body and refining the faint yet elusive true solar fire within, which is much more intense than the heat of these molten lava flows around you.

  Although it's a small witch seeing a big witch, the victory lies in the quantity. Moreover, Kong Zhuo could feel that although the heat here was full, the energy was mixed and impure, with countless different types of energies of different natures and levels mixed together.

  "If I could disperse this energy, it wouldn't be so hot here and I'd have a chance to get out!" This was Kong Zhuan's initial thought. What he didn't expect was that when he started dispersing the innate purple qi that was scattered outside his body for heat insulation, and began using the Great Sun Crystal Golden Body Technique to absorb the heat, in order to disperse it, he inadvertently felt a faint hint of the true fire of the sun, which was different from the true fire of the sun emanating from above. The true fire of the sun here was much more mellow.

  He didn't even dare to confirm whether this was the real fire of the sun.

  He attempted to absorb this energy, which was very similar to the true fire of the sun, into his body. He activated the Great Solar Crystal Golden Body Technique and easily absorbed the pure energy. Like the true fire of the sun he had previously absorbed, it began to strengthen his body. The efficiency was not inferior to directly absorbing the true fire from the sun. Moreover, this process was extremely comfortable, with warm true fire flowing throughout his body, making him feel as if he had drunk a pot of hot tea on a cold winter's day, giving him an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body.

  This effect made Kong Zhan's mouth corners curve up gradually.

  "Good fortune comes from misfortune! It seems I really am a person with great good fortune, just like Master Shifu said. In this situation, I've actually managed to gain an advantage!"

  He thought to himself, but his hands and feet didn't delay in the slightest. He took a deep breath and activated the Mahavairocana's Golden Body Technique. Like a whale sucking water, he began frantically absorbing the surrounding pure and unadulterated solar true fire energy.

  The true fire of the sun flows through his body, following the trajectory of the Great Day Crystal Golden Body Technique, repeatedly strengthening Kong Yan's physique.

  "Why are there so many strange solar fires here?!" Kong Zhuo wondered in his heart, but under the refining of the almost endless solar fires, he quickly threw this question to the back of his mind.

  ……………

  ……………

  "Grandpa, are we really going to throw that rascal in there? Won't he die?"

  "He killed Mo Nu, shouldn't he be dead?" Chen Sen asked with a smile.

  "No! He killed Mo Nu, he's a big bad egg!" The little girl's face showed a hateful expression as she said, "But...!"

  "But what?"

  "But, Mother said that Heaven has a way of rewarding good deeds. Although he killed our Mo Nu, at first, he didn't know that Mo Nu was ours, and besides, looking at his fat pig-like appearance makes me want to kick him a few times, and I haven't kicked enough yet!"

  "Hmph, you're good at making excuses!" Chen Sen rubbed her head, his face filled with doting smile, "Alright, since that's the case, let's go get him out and let you kick his butt properly!"

  "Good!" The little girl clapped her hands and shouted, "I want to kick him to death, to avenge the dead Mo Nu!"
