Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 209 Bagua Altar
After cultivating to the Foundation Establishment Realm, Li Yunjing's true essence became abundant, enabling him to continuously unleash supernatural powers.

The "Palm Thunder" technique, with its fast casting speed, low energy consumption, and considerable power, has become his most convenient attack method.

As expected, "Palm Thunder" unleashed three consecutive "Palm Thunders" with a deafening roar, creating a sea of ​​lightning that almost merged into one, instantly clearing out the pursuing monsters behind it.

A dozen or so fiery stones flew around in the lava.

This wonderful thing is full of fire energy.

How could Li Yunjing possibly miss it?

Despite the risk of being pursued, Li Yunjing made a grabbing motion in mid-air, directly using his magic power to condense a "Five Elements Seal," which enveloped the dozen or so fiery stones and captured them.

Without even glancing at it, Li Yunjing put it into his "storage ring" and continued to descend rapidly with Yu Yunyi.

The interior of the volcano is incredibly deep.

After descending to a depth of ten thousand feet, the end was finally in sight.

The pressure at the bottom of the volcano is immense. Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm would be deformed by the pressure and eventually explode under such conditions.

This is a forbidden zone for cultivators.

Even a master like Yu Yunyi could barely move around here, struggling to maintain her magical power and keep going despite the difficulties.

This feeling is like an ordinary person climbing a towering mountain; it's hard to breathe, and every step is arduous.

Upon arriving here, it was fortunate that Li Yunjing was there to assist her; otherwise, in a dangerous situation, Yu Yunyi would have had a real hard time dealing with the attacks of those fire demons.

Here, the temperature is even higher, reaching almost 10,000 degrees Celsius. Apart from the monsters born from the fiery stones, there are no other living things that can survive here.

Upon arriving here, the "fire-resistant shields" worn by Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were charred black.

The once crystal-clear "fire shield" had been blackened by the scorching heat.

"We've finally arrived! If it had been a thousand feet deeper, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come down with you."

Yu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling much more at ease.

She really didn't want to, because she lacked the strength to even follow Li Yunjing.

As a prodigy, Yu Yunyi has her own pride.

"How could this place possibly stop my wife? Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator can't withstand it, you certainly can!"

Li Yunjing offered a word of comfort.

Upon arriving here, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's attention was immediately drawn to an altar.

No one could have imagined that someone would build an altar deep inside the volcano.

This is a Bagua altar made of black stones.

It is dotted with some white stones, forming a layout with yin-yang fish inside and octagonal symbols outside.

The entire altar was not large, only about ten feet in size.

The entire altar was enveloped in intense firelight, forming a fiery shield that concealed it.

"boom!"

Without hesitation, Li Yunjing threw a "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" from afar.

Instantly, the outer layer of flame shield was blasted into pieces, revealing the clear shape of the altar.

Li Yunjing looked at it and said softly, "This is the 'Fuxi Bagua Direction'!"

The arrangement of the "Fuxi Bagua" is as follows: Qian 1, Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, Kun 8.

The positions of the Eight Trigrams in the Earlier Heaven are paired with yin and yang, containing the profound principles of heaven and earth.

Li Yunjing naturally had no time to study the "Fuxi Bagua directions".

However, he had naturally studied such famous cultivation knowledge carefully during his time in the "Scripture Pavilion".

The first floor of the "Library" only records superficial information, but at this moment, they seem to corroborate each other and have some value.

At least Li Yunjing could see how the altar worked.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

In the center of the altar were two fish, one representing yin and the other yang, slowly rotating...

Countless flames, through the mysterious workings of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), entered the altar.

These energies flowed into the Yin-Yang symbol.

Two enormous stone slabs, one black and one white, absorbed this energy and, after circulating it again, emitted two beams of light, one black and one white.

These two beams of light did not shoot upwards towards the crater.

Instead, they went deeper underground.

"I understand! It's transmitted underground through the Bagua Platform, passing through the seabed, and slowly seeping into the underground palace!"

"The energy is not being transferred to the pool above!"

"Instead, it entered the underground palace from beneath the volcano, diagonally upwards, through the rock wall!"

"I totally understand!"

After observing carefully for a long time, a glint flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

There is also an energy transmission channel within the mountain!

However, Li Yunjing's cultivation level was simply insufficient to break through this passage!

The method of Yu Gong moving mountains could certainly open a passage, but Li Yunjing didn't have the time or energy for it.

Besides, the passageway isn't important!

The materials there are probably nothing special except for being fire-resistant and pressure-resistant.

Otherwise, this project would consume too many resources.

This Golden Core Realm expert might not be worth such a high price to maintain the spiritual energy of a cave dwelling.

This is a bit of a loss.

Li Yunjing quickly calculated all the details, especially the materials for the altar, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"What do we do now? We can't stay here forever; we don't have much time left."

Yu Yunyi asked anxiously from the side.

Yu Yunyi knew that Li Yunjing was thinking, but they didn't have much time left.

They need to float up and restore their magic!
"What else can we do! This altar is made of 'Sun Black Stone' and 'Moon White Stone'! Such good stuff, all top-tier Tier 3 materials! Of course we have to dismantle the altar and take all the benefits!"

At this point, Li Yunjing grabbed with his large hand and struck the "Sun Black Stone" where Qian Yi was located with a "boom".

Suddenly, a violent tremor occurred.

Since there's no time, then we'll demolish it by force!
While attacking the altar, Li Yunjing also slayed the fire monsters that had been attracted to it.

Seeing this, Yu Yunyi simultaneously summoned the "Jade Dao Sword" and assisted Li Yunjing in his attack.

With her cultivation level, killing these fire demon beasts was still no problem for her.

"Boom!"

As the two destroyed the Bagua altar at the base of the volcano, the massive volcano began to tremble, with countless streams of lava erupting from the surrounding earth. It seemed that the destruction of the altar had caused the volcano's internal environment to spiral out of control, and the volcano was about to erupt.

At this moment, a ring of red ripples spread out around the Bagua Platform.

Such power was comparable to "Samadhi Fire," causing Li Yunjing's expression to change. If he were to overturn the altar, a terrifying disaster would immediately erupt.

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi were the first to be affected.

At this point, the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released!
"If we unleash the 'Azure Cloud Boat,' even if this treasure ship is destroyed, we'll have made our money's worth."

Li Yunjing weighed the gains and losses, and said through gritted teeth.

Even sacrificing the "Azure Cloud Boat" would be worth it for the third-tier materials on the altar!
"it is good!"

Without any hesitation or concern about whether her "Azure Cloud Boat" would be destroyed here, Yu Yunyi immediately flicked her wrist and threw out the "Azure Cloud Boat".

The "Azure Cloud Boat" floated above their heads, and Yu Yunyi immediately entered it and took control of the treasure ship.

Over a thousand mid-grade spirit stones were directly fed into the power furnace, and the "Azure Cloud Boat" quickly completed its full startup.

The protective shield is activated!
Speed ​​up system startup!
Attack weapons activated!

The reception system has been activated!

……

One by one, Yu Yunyi activated the systems, and the fire monsters that were still gathering around were all shot down by the restrictions and formations on the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Once Yu Yunyi was ready, she immediately sent a telepathic message to Li Yunjing, assuring him that there would be no problem.

With the "Azure Cloud Boat" as a backup plan, Li Yunjing breathed a sigh of relief.

He can now focus all his efforts on dealing with the Bagua platform in front of him.

As Li Yunjing unleashed his attacks, the flames near the Bagua Platform were scattered.

The surrounding Bagua stone slabs were all somewhat loose.

Besides the external force exerted by Li Yunjing, he also sensed that deep underground, there seemed to be another force trying to break open the altar.

At this moment, Li Yunjing no longer cared about what was below.

Once you've gone this far, there's no turning back.

The altar is loose and will eventually collapse under its strain.

If Li Yunjing stops now, he will get nothing!
We must take advantage of the time we still have here and dismantle the Bagua altar.

"boom!"

Li Yunjing felt it was about time, so he grabbed the Bagua stone slab with his large hand!
With Li Yunjing removing the "Sun Black Stone" where Qianyi was located, the Bagua Platform was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.

"Work harder!"

Ignoring everything else, Li Yunjing made a series of moves, dismantling the "Sun Black Stone" from Dui 2, Li 3, Zhen 4, Xun 5, Kan 6, Gen 7, and Kun 8 respectively.

"Boom!"

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked; even the volcanoes began to erupt massively!
Deep underground, the red flames shone with extreme brightness.

A tremendous, enormous surge erupted, threatening to engulf the entire ocean!

This force would easily tear apart even a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Without Li Yunjing needing to intervene further, the enormous yin-yang fish and the two yin-yang spheres in the center were all blasted away by the pressure of the flames and directly stored in Li Yunjing's "storage ring".

Without any hesitation, Yu Yunyi immediately released a guiding light on the "Qingyun Boat" to guide Li Yunjing onto the treasure ship.

Immediately afterwards, all the light shields on the "Azure Cloud Boat" opened and shot upwards.

"Boom!"

This upward process has only just begun. On the "Azure Cloud Boat," countless precious lights were extinguished by the lava tide below!
The entire "Azure Cloud Boat" began to shake violently, creaking and groaning, as if it were about to disintegrate.

Without any time to think, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi almost instinctively unleashed all the defensive talismans they possessed, forming shields of light that blocked the "Azure Cloud Boat" from below.

"Crack!"

Almost without any resistance, countless light shields were engulfed in the sea of ​​fire the moment they touched the lava tide below.

Immediately afterwards, a bunch of defensive magical artifacts were also activated and thrown down below.

The lava flow was still pushed up by the immense pressure and shot towards the crater!

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing stuffed tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones into the "Azure Cloud Boat," almost bursting the energy furnace. Only then did it withstand the impact of the lava tide below, moving at almost the same speed as the lava tide and forming a parallel path before shooting towards the vicinity of the volcano.

To Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's astonishment, the ground beneath the Bagua platform began to tremble violently after it was dismantled.

A fiery red dragon emerged from the ground.

Neither of them expected that a fire dragon was being suppressed beneath the Bagua altar!
"Roar……"

A tremendous roar erupted as the fiery red dragon thrashed about.

Almost boundless magma churned up from the earth.

This time, the magma was even hotter, with each drop igniting a wisp of "Samadhi Fire".

Everywhere, "Samadhi True Fire" was flying everywhere. Countless "Samadhi True Fire" shot upwards like meteors, bombarding the light shield of the "Azure Cloud Boat".

The light shield on "The Legend of Chusen" was constantly twisted and turned, like a balloon being kneaded and changed into different shapes.

Even though the protective shield was not broken, the hull of the "Qingyun Boat" had already suffered multiple injuries.

"Hahaha! I've finally escaped! Master Yunfei, you bastard, how many years have you suppressed me!"

"You old bastard! Why can't I smell your breath? Are you dead?"

"Hahaha! I've finally outlasted you!"

The fiery red dragon roared wildly, seemingly venting its pent-up frustration from years of suppression.

As for the "Azure Cloud Boat" escaping upwards, a hint of disdain appeared in the fiery red dragon's enormous eyes.

Two mere ants, even if they try to escape for a while, will not escape my grasp.

It's a good opportunity to experience the fun of toying with the prey once again.

"Not good! A third-tier fire dragon!"

Looking at the enormous dragon thousands of feet below, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi's expressions changed.

Without any hesitation, the two immediately stuffed thousands of mid-grade spirit stones back into the power furnace of the "Azure Cloud Boat," where they burned and turned into energy, propelling the "Azure Cloud Boat" to fly faster towards the sea.

At this point, there was no longer any concern about the "Qingyun Boat" operating under extreme load.

Even if they disintegrate, they must get as far away from this fire dragon as possible!
As the "Qingyun Boat" broke through the sea, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi looked back at the volcano.

Behind them, the volcano trembled incessantly, and lava surged up from all sides, bursting from the sea and soaring into the sky.

A terrifying mushroom cloud of lead, billowing thick smoke, blotting out the sky.

As the volcano erupted, the underground palace embedded in the mountain began to collapse.

This scene greatly surprised Canglan Zhenren, Xuan Ziyan, and the others. No one expected that such a change would occur at this critical moment of life and death.
