Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 353 Flame Princess's Breakthrough
The next morning, the two got up very early.

By this time, Yan Ji had recovered most of her strength. The two rode on camel-like beasts and followed Yan Ji's directions toward the sacred land of fire elementals.

As they traveled, the temperature continued to rise, but the road ahead remained unseen.

Flame Princess could only sense whether the fire element was strong, but the exact coordinates still needed to be found slowly.

After another day of traveling, Fang Yu originally wanted to rest at night.

As the temperature here became increasingly scorching, the camel-like beast could no longer withstand it and had returned to the summoning plane, leaving the two with no choice but to walk.

Although the temperature here was much higher than where they had been before, Fang Yu still couldn't be sure that the Flame Holy Land was ahead.

"Let's keep going, I'm not tired!" Because of the increased heat, even though Mu Ningxue was an ice mage who could warm up, her pretty face was still flushed.

After noticing the heat intensifying, she felt that she was likely one step closer to her destination.

"Okay." Fang Yu continued walking after seeing Mu Ningxue's attitude.

As they continued their journey, the heat around them intensified.

At this moment, the frost that Fang Yu had condensed using ice magic had gradually melted.

Fang Yu could only increase the release of magical energy, and only when they were enveloped in a thicker layer of ice did the two of them feel a little more comfortable.

Although they felt comfortable for the moment, Mu Ningxue thought that it would be foolish for the two of them to expend so much magical energy in this desolate desert. Just as Mu Ningxue was about to remind Fang Yu...

A cluster of firelight, so vibrant it eclipsed even the stardust, blazed atop a majestic mountain not far away. The fiery crown spread along the mountain's sharp lines, burning for over ten kilometers in an instant, outlining the entire contours of the mountain that had blended into the night!

The flames started burning extremely suddenly, and fortunately, Fang Yu had strong control and stopped them in time. With the ice element protecting Mu Ningxue, the two of them were not seriously injured, only feeling a slight burning sensation!

The mountain's shape still gave people a hazy feeling, but as the flames ignited and the firelight illuminated it, the entire desert demon mountain was fully revealed. The overwhelming feeling, the sheer size, and the intense heat immediately left a huge shock in the hearts of the two people!

"buzzing"

At the same time, a loud flapping sound came from not far away!

Fang Yu looked over and saw a large number of Dust Demons flying towards the Flame Mountains from a distance, like turbid clouds!

Watching the dust monsters being engulfed by flames, some even burning to a crisp in mid-air, Mu Ningxue asked with some confusion, "What are these dust monsters doing? Are they courting death?"

Flames continued to spread among the densely packed dust storm monsters, and those monsters whose wings had been burned off turned into drops of fiery feathers that fell into the mountains.

Even so, they still showed no sign of stopping and continued to rush towards the Flaming Mountains!
One has to admire the sheer number of Dust Storm Grasshoppers; it took an hour for such a massive fiery mountain to burn completely!

Fang Yu sighed softly and said, "Evolution?"

Mu Ningxue was taken aback upon hearing this, then said with a serious expression, "If they continue like this, the Dust Storm Demon Grasshoppers may become even more terrifying in the future."

“Demons are just like us humans; they never stop getting stronger. As they get stronger, aren’t we also constantly getting stronger?” Fang Yu said seriously.

Soon after the demon grasshoppers were all dead, Fang Yu led Mu Ningxue into the mountains. The flames were still burning hot, and even he could feel the intense heat.

Furthermore, the higher they went up the mountain, the higher the temperature became. Moreover, as they reached the summit, even Fang Yu, with his advanced level three fire-element cultivation, felt the scorching heat!
This is enough to show that the temperature on this mountain is really ridiculously high.

When they arrived at the mouth of the mountain, Little Flame Princess floated out.

She immediately rolled around excitedly, then started to whine and act coquettishly towards Fang Yu, expressing how much she loved it there.

At Fang Yu's prompting, Yan Ji flew towards the flames.

Little Flame Princess truly lives up to her reputation as the darling of fire. She floats in the center of the fiercest flames, enduring the scorching heat without showing the slightest sign of injury. Instead, the fire energy is frantically gathering towards her!
Seeing this, Mu Ningxue looked at Fang Yu and said, "Take this opportunity to cultivate as well. I'll look after the surroundings for you!"

"Okay." Fang Yu nodded, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.

Although it is incredibly hot here, it must be said that this is an extremely suitable holy land for cultivating fire-based techniques.

The speed of meditation was many times faster than usual.

Time, therefore, began to pass by quickly without us even realizing it.

Three hours later, amidst the energy fluctuations, Fang Yu broke through and opened his eyes. His high-level level three fire magic had reached its peak, but it was no longer of much use to him here.

At this moment, Fang Yu turned to Mu Ningxue and said, "Let's go. This place isn't suitable for staying for long. Let's wait on the outskirts."

"kindness."

Two days later, when Fang Yu opened his eyes, he saw Yan Ji floating in front of him. The color of her flames had changed; they were no longer the brown of the initial Heavenly Tribulation Flame, or the golden-red of the Golden Lotus Flame, but a vibrant and alluring red!
Most importantly, at some point, the fire energy of the entire Flame Mountain Range completely disappeared, and the temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"Ring~~"

After seeing Fang Yu and Mu Ningxue wake up, Xiao Yanji happily showed off.

Now, she is a darling of the world, just like her sister, having mastered two powerful elements.

"Alright, now that we have the flame, we can leave." Looking at Yan Ji, who was hopping around and whose strength had directly surpassed the peak of the commander level, Fang Yu gently stroked her little head and said.

"Waaaaah!!!"

Little Flame Princess obediently returned to Fang Yu's contract space.

Fang Yu and his companion then headed down the mountain, moving at a considerable speed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the foot of the mountain.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then flew back to where he had come from. He originally wanted to search for the Earth Core, but with this aimless search, who knew when he would find it?
Therefore, he chose to return.

Along the way, Fang Yu and his companion went through many twists and turns, but fortunately, Fang Yu replenished his magical energy quickly. They also brought enough food and water to make their way out of the desert.

We arrived at the Tarim Fortress nearby.
