Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 231 Changfeng's Perilous Situation
Ordinary communication talismans do not have a location sensing effect, but the communication talisman with Xiao Changfeng was specially given to Li Ji'an by Xiao Changfeng after he came out of seclusion.

He said that if he encountered danger outside, he could contact him at any time.

At that time, Xiao Changfeng benefited from the ruins of Daze Mountain and was valued by Elder Zhendan of the sect, receiving a lot of spiritual resources. He went into seclusion for more than ten years and emerged from seclusion at the late Foundation Establishment stage, which was almost perfect. Li Ji'an, on the other hand, was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Xiao Changfeng's bold statement could ensure that Li Ji'an would be safe.

Unfortunately, not long after, he was transferred to the Boundless Realm.

Without much hesitation, Li Ji'an immediately sent a message to Jade Pill True Person, instructing him to report the matter to the current sect guardian, and then flew off towards Flaming Mountain.

Three months later, Li Ji'an came to the border between the eastern part of Cangyun Prefecture and the Flaming Mountain Desolate Land for the third time.

Upon setting foot on this scorching land, I sensed that Xiao Changfeng's location was still further north.

This further confirmed Li Ji'an's conjecture.

However, the closer one gets to the Flaming Mountain area, the more intense the subterranean fire becomes, and the scorching waves hit one's face, hindering one's divine sense.

A month later, the earth fire could be seen rising, and the power emanating from the azure flames was putting pressure on his late-stage Foundation Establishment protective shield.

At the same time, it is difficult to sense with one's divine sense that one can leave the area of ​​five zhang (approximate

According to the senses, Xiao Changfeng's location was still inside, and the senses were much weaker inside than outside.

"Little Fire, it's your turn!" Li Ji'an had no choice but to stop and summon Little Fire Spirit.

As soon as the little fire spirit appeared, it sensed the surrounding flames and became somewhat excited. However, after only a moment, it seemed to sense some kind of invisible pressure from the depths of the Flaming Mountain and immediately tried to burrow back into Li Ji'an's dantian in fear.

Li Ji'an glanced into the depths of the Flaming Mountain, but sensed nothing.

In fact, back in the Jiyuan Academy of Golden Glory Immortal City, Li Ji'an tried many methods to refine higher-grade pills and further improve the little fire spirit. One of them was to take it into the Flaming Mountain area to seek opportunities.

However, the little fire spirit told Li Ji'an that although it was born on the outskirts of the Flaming Mountain and had a natural affinity for all flames in the world, it had never dared to enter the Flaming Mountain area.

Because from a young age it sensed a terrifying pressure within, as if it were about to devour it.

"Don't be afraid, there's no need to go too far. If you really feel you can't go any further, just come back." Li Ji'an gently stroked the little fire, encouraging it.

The little fire spirit glanced again at the depths of the Flaming Mountain, trembling, but in the end, it gritted its teeth and headed in the direction Li Ji'an had indicated.

As the little fire spirit gradually disappeared into the azure flames, Li Ji'an immediately contacted the little fire spirit through the spirit contract.

Six years ago, after years of observation, it was confirmed that although Guagua and Xiaohuoling did not have a spirit contract, they were still loyal to him and did not stray from his plans. Subsequently, in order to ensure that he could witness Du Haizang's death, Li Ji'an bound Guagua to a soul contract again and also bound Xiaohuoling to one.

Before long, the little fire spirit easily passed through the azure flames and entered another level.

In their line of sight, the azure flames gradually transformed into a bluish-purple, their power increasing even further, but the little fire spirit remained unmoved, as if it were in an empty field.

Even in his perception, Li Ji'an could sense that the little fire spirit was greatly benefited by the cyan-purple flames, with countless fire-type spiritual energies continuously gathering towards it.

"It really is beneficial to it!" Li Ji'an nodded to himself. Back then, when the little fire spirit devoured Fu Hanxing's natal fire lotus, its spirituality grew stronger and it advanced to the second tier. He guessed that the endless fire domain of Flame Mountain should be able to promote its advancement, but unfortunately, it never dared to step into it.

With Li Ji'an's constant encouragement and the nourishment of the fire elemental energy, the little fire spirit gradually became less afraid.

Moreover, Xiao Changfeng's location did not extend further into the Fire Domain. Based on the terrain and the Fire Spirit's perception, Li Ji'an judged that the entire Flaming Mountain should radiate outwards, with the outermost areas being larger, and it was distributed in a ring around the center of the Flaming Mountain.

Thus, the little fire spirit headed northeast along the area of ​​purplish-blue flames.

Half a month later, the little fire spirit was already close to the area where Xiao Changfeng was sensed. This place was already more than 10,000 miles away from Cangyun Prefecture. Further north, after crossing the Fire Domain, it would be able to reach the Boundless Domain.

Previously, Li Ji'an had already gained a general understanding of the situation in the Boundless Domain through interrogating Du Haizang.

The southernmost point of the Boundless Domain borders the Flaming Mountains, and the entire southern part of the Boundless Domain is a barren land, covered with black water, unsuitable for cultivators to live and cultivate. It can be said that there is no human habitation within a million miles.

"Attention!" That day, Little Fire Spirit was searching the vicinity as instructed by Li Ji'an when suddenly, amidst the bluish-purple flames not far away, a figure was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

After half a month of adaptation, the little fire spirit has become increasingly relaxed, wandering among the fireworks every day like a fire sprite.

Especially in this fiery domain, where divine sense is obstructed, the little fire spirit flickers and leaps among clusters of earth flames, making it difficult for anyone to detect it.

After the little fire spirit merged with a cluster of earth flames, Li Ji'an carefully examined the person through its vision.

The man was dressed in a dark robe.

Upon closer inspection, the robe was revealed to be woven from individual black feathers.

The black feathers were glossy and had a metallic sheen.

The person was almost completely covered by a feather robe, with only a pair of sinister triangular eyes showing.

The triangular-eyed man kept staring at a spot a little deeper into the fire domain.

Following his gaze, Li Ji'an discovered another figure deep within the purplish-blue flames, near an even deeper layer of dark blue flames.

However, the figure was now collapsed on the ground, with no protective magic shield around him. Only a green light screen, which was passively erected by a magic artifact or a magic robe, was blocking the raging flames.

"Changfeng!" The little fire spirit suddenly arrived at the edge of the dark blue flames. Li Ji'an recognized the person who was lying on the ground at a glance. It was Xiao Changfeng.

"Is this person a cultivator from the Boundless Domain? Did he chase Xiao Changfeng here?" Li Ji'an sent the little fire spirit back to the black-clad man's vicinity and carefully sensed his aura.

The closer one gets to this person, the more one can sense a trace of malevolent energy emanating from him.

"They chased Xiao Changfeng all the way from the Boundless Realm to this place?"

This place happens to be located at the southernmost tip of the Boundless Domain, but to get from here to Cangyun Prefecture, one still needs to pass through the Earth Flame Evaporation Zone, which is nearly ten thousand miles long.

The reason why the Little Fire Spirit Half Moon was able to reach this place is because of its affinity with fire. Not only did it not consume any resources, but it also received a continuous boost of fire-type spiritual energy.

For cultivators, traveling such a long distance through a fire domain would require at least a mid-to-late stage True Core cultivation level, unless they possess special fire-repelling treasures.

And its speed is probably only 20-30% of that of the Little Fire Spirit.

The most crucial point is that when you venture deep into the fire domain, your divine sense is limited and your sense of direction is lost, making it very likely that you will get lost in the endless fire domain.

Following Xiao Changfeng's directions, Li Ji'an had only entered the outermost azure flame zone of the Fire Domain. If it weren't for the guidance of the Fire Spirit and Xiao Changfeng, he would have already lost his bearings.

"This is getting tricky!" After a moment of contemplation, Li Ji'an frowned slightly.

At the same time, he also realized that Xiao Changfeng's purpose in sending the message for help was probably not to expect him to help, but to have him notify the sect.

After all, based on Xiao Changfeng's understanding of him, being able to step into the first level of the Fire Domain was already the limit for Azure Flame, let alone going deeper by tens of thousands of miles. After sensing Xiao Changfeng's condition again, he found that his dantian mana was almost exhausted, and he was in a coma. Now, he only had a protective shield that was passively activated by some unknown thing.

Meanwhile, the turquoise protective shield was being constantly consumed by the cyan-purple flames, and it was uncertain how long it could last.

Once that turquoise protective shield is exhausted, Xiao Changfeng, with his physique of only a mid-stage first-level body cultivator, will be instantly devoured, leaving only a pile of ashes.

"Go!" Li Ji'an no longer hesitated. He first had the little fire spirit approach Xiao Changfeng to help him repel the cyan flames around him and reduce the pressure on his azure protective shield.

He then sent another message to Master Yudan.

He received a message from Xiao Changfeng just as he crossed the Daze Mountains that day, and then informed Master Yudan of the whole situation.

Logically speaking, even if he used the speed-enhancing talisman along the way, the elders stationed in the sect should have arrived soon.

After entering the Fire Domain, he left the sect's mark along the way, so the sect elders would definitely be able to find him by following the mark.

Not long after, Master Yudan replied, informing that he had already informed Elder Zhenzongtian immediately.

Elder Tian is one of the three True Core cultivators of the Biyun Sect, and also the youngest True Core elder.

When the Supreme Elder and Elder Fang were summoned by the Myriad Laws Palace to guard the border, Elder Tian happened to be in seclusion. After emerging from seclusion, he guarded the sect.

This time, only Elder Tian's personal presence offers any hope.

Upon receiving the reply, Li Ji'an focused his mind and waited patiently for Elder Tian's arrival.

However, half a month passed without anyone arriving.

Fire erupted within the fiery realm, and his heart burned with intense heat, yet he did his utmost to maintain a calm and composed mind.

But at this moment, I can't help but feel a little anxious.

Left with no other choice, he sent another message to Master Yudan.

This time, Master Yudan did not reply immediately. It was not until half an hour later that he sent a message to Li Ji'an with some indignation.

He stated that when he received Li Ji'an's message four months ago, he had already informed the sect's upper echelons.

I thought the other party had already taken action.

To his surprise, he learned that Elder Tian, ​​the gatekeeper, had not set off due to the paramount importance of guarding the sect, and had only dispatched two pseudo-core elders to the Fire Domain.

Furthermore, two days ago, the two fake Dan elders reported back to the sect that Li Ji'an's mark had penetrated deep into the Fire Domain. After traveling for a while, they felt an inexplicable crisis and withdrew from the Fire Domain. They also speculated that Li Ji'an and Xiao Changfeng were probably in grave danger.

Upon receiving this message, Li Ji'an frowned deeply.

Based on his understanding of the upper echelons of the Biyun Sect over the years, the sect's supreme elders and sect leader have a rather good concept of sect unity.

Aside from facing powerful sects from other regions, they are notorious for protecting their own disciples. At least in the entire Cangyun Prefecture, no family, big or small, dares to touch their disciples.

Moreover, Xiao Changfeng is the true successor!
Moreover, now that many of the true disciples of the Biyun Sect have died, Xiao Changfeng's value should be given even greater attention.

Why didn't they do their best to rescue people?

Just as Li Ji'an was filled with doubt, the scene transmitted from the little fire spirit made Li Ji'an's heart tighten even more.

Suddenly, the demonic cultivator in feathered robes, who had been staring at Xiao Changfeng, turned his head toward the Boundless Domain, a hint of joy on his face.

Before long, another burly figure passed through the first layer of the Azure Flame Zone and arrived at the edge of the Purple Flame Zone.

"Black Feather, how is that kid?" The burly man looked at Xiao Changfeng, who was further inside, as soon as he got closer.

The demonic cultivator in feathered robes sneered, "How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him possibly touch the azure flames of the third level? He exhausted his mana in just three breaths."

"Hahaha, good, those earth essences and that magic weapon are ours now." The burly man was overjoyed.

"Earth's Essence!" Upon hearing this, Li Ji'an's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

He had already memorized the Core Formation treasures of this world. The Seven-Colored Jade Tree was the best among Core Formation treasures, and although the Earth Essence was not as powerful as the Seven-Colored Jade Tree, it was at least in the top twenty.

This is because the essence of the earth not only helps in the formation of the elixir, but also has the effect of removing impurities from the elixir, thus improving the quality of the elixir.

"How could Xiao Changfeng's trip to the Boundless Domain yield such a harvest? A Core Formation spiritual object and a magic treasure! No wonder he was chased into the Fire Domain by two Pseudo-Core Formation True Persons!" Li Ji'an couldn't help but sigh again at Xiao Changfeng's luck.

But... given the current situation, its fate...

"Then what are we waiting for? Go in and bring that kid out." The burly man asked when he saw that Black Feather Master hadn't gotten up yet.

Master Heiyu did not answer, but instead asked, "Can you summon wandering spirits?"

The burly man stared intently at Xiao Changfeng for a moment, then turned to look at Hei Yu. With a shifting expression, he took out a piece of locust wood from his storage bag: "This place is rarely visited by people. I searched for thousands of miles before finally finding these four."

Hei Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the locust tree.

He took the locust wood in one hand and pointed to the charred side of his feather robe, saying, "This boy's fire-controlling treasure can draw three layers of dark blue flames. If it weren't for my feather robe, you wouldn't be here today."

"Huh? This kid also has a fire-controlling treasure that can ignite the azure flames?" The burly man's expression changed instantly.

Four months ago, the two of them chased Xiao Changfeng to this desperate place, thinking that Xiao Changfeng had nowhere to escape. However, he plunged into the fire domain, which even the two of them, who were both pseudo-core cultivators, were unwilling to set foot in.

The burly man had been ambushed by Xiao Changfeng with a black blade that was in the nascent stage of a magic weapon, and had suffered a serious injury. So he let Hei Yu continue to go deeper, while he stayed outside to recuperate and helped Hei Yu Zhenren imprison the Yin spirits so that they could recover.

"This kid has quite a few treasures on him!" The burly man came to his senses and looked at Black Feather Master with a meaningful gaze.

Black Feather Master met his gaze: "Hmph, Yangding Master, there's no need to look at me like that. In any case, let's take down this kid first, and then we can split the spoils. I never intended to take it all for myself."

"Haha, Master Heiyu is so open and honest, and so am I." Master Yangding laughed heartily, quite satisfied with the other party's attitude.

After all, there are countless examples in the cultivation world of teams killing and plundering, only to have internal strife cause them to benefit from the chaos.

"What's that kid's current state? Is he cheating?"

Hei Yu shook his head: "My divine sense is blocked here, so I'm not confident. However, once I've devoured these few Yin spirits and recovered, I'll be able to capture them, whether they're faking their deaths or truly dead!"

"Excellent! I will protect you!" Master Yangding fully agreed with Master Heiyu's plan.
