#343 - Tens of millions of Xuanyuan pills, Gu family misfortune

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Yun's gaze flickered, settling on the convergence point where the lava rivers extended.

There, a vast lava lake spanning thousands of feet existed, its crimson lava constantly bubbling, the temperature of which would be enough to instantly turn a strong cultivator in the Life Profound Realm into ashes.

Lin Yun stared at the lava lake, his gaze quickly fixed on the center of the lake.

In the center of the lake, there was a stone coffin.

The stone coffin was entirely crimson, merely floating on the lava. It looked as if it was cast from a piece of crimson crystal. The stone coffin had no lid, so Lin Yun could see very clearly that there was a person lying inside the stone coffin.

That person had handsome features. Even though his eyes were tightly closed, there was still a faint hint of majesty between his brows. His long, fiery-red hair resembled flames, burning fiercely.

Lin Yun looked at the man lying in the stone coffin, and the blood in his body couldn't help but boil. Immediately, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly retracted his gaze, only then did the boiling subside.

"How terrifying. If he were awake, perhaps one glance from him would force me to go all out to resist. But I must take away this Flame Lord's Ancient Flame God Token." Thinking of this, Lin Yun's gaze firmly looked at the stone coffin in the massive lava formation.

Shaking his head to steady his mind, he quickly retracted his gaze. "Let's take a gamble and try using the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar."

Then, with a flip of his palm, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar appeared in front of him.

"Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yun urged the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar to float towards the stone coffin above the lava lake.

A moment later, looking at the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar suspended above the stone coffin, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

"Huff."

Lin Yun nervously exhaled, sweat still dripping from his forehead.

Just then, a red light was sucked out of the stone coffin by the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar.

"咻!"

After the red light appeared, Lin Yun quickly retrieved the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar.

After a few breaths, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar was suspended in front of him, and then with a wave of his hand, the red light inside fell into his hand.

The red light landed, and then the light dissipated, turning into a fiery red token. The token was about the size of a palm, and it felt slightly warm to the touch. The token was extremely ancient and simple, without any fancy patterns, but the entire token was permeated with an unadorned and grand aura.

Lin Yun flipped the token over to take a look, and on the front of the token, there was an ancient character.

"Flame!"

Above this character, there was a red glow surging, like lava flowing, looking extremely strange.

"Huff!"

Lin Yun slowly exhaled, and the feeling of tension quickly disappeared.

Unexpectedly, using the Heaven Swallowing Demon Jar really worked to suck out the Ancient Flame God Token.

"With the Ancient Flame God Token obtained, the Earth Core Spirit Essence above will be easier to obtain."

Thinking of this, Lin Yun slightly bowed towards the red-haired man in the distance, then turned around and darted out of the crimson halo behind him, disappearing from sight.

As Lin Yun left, this mysterious dark space once again fell into an ancient silence.

Suddenly, in the endless darkness, there seemed to be a slight tremor, and then the entire space began to tremble violently.

"Roar!"

A massive dark palm, ten thousand feet in size, suddenly tore through the darkness, grabbing towards the stone coffin in the lava formation.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the lava formation suddenly erupted, and a monstrous crimson light surged, quickly flowing into the black chains below, instantly dyeing the chains red.

The dark giant palm slammed into the crimson chains, erupting into a monstrous white mist.

Immediately, a shrill scream rang out again from the endless darkness. After a struggle, it finally retreated completely, stabilizing, as if the previous momentum had never happened.

On the lava lake, the red-haired man in the stone coffin still had his eyes tightly closed, but at this moment, his fingers twitched slightly.

However, he did not wake up, only a faint wisp of consciousness floated out, and in that consciousness, there was a low and hoarse murmur.

"The Ancient Flame God Token was actually sucked away by that strange thing…"

"I didn't expect that there would be a swallowing power in this world that is even stronger than the Devouring Ancestral Symbol…"

"He has so many unfamiliar things on him, and many familiar auras, Ice Lord… Has she passed through reincarnation?"

The low voice slowly echoed in this dark space, and after a while, it dissipated into nothingness, returning to the eternal silence.

On the crimson plaza, the lava stone pool suddenly fluctuated, and Lin Yun darted out from it. Holding the Ancient Flame God Token, he fell into contemplation.

"My strength is still not enough, I must become stronger!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yun took the Ancient Flame God Token and grabbed towards the Earth Core Spirit Essence.

Sure enough, as he had expected, his palm touched the Earth Core Spirit Essence without any obstruction, and then he used his Yuan Power to drag it out.

The system's prompt immediately sounded in his mind.

[Task: Obtain Earth Core Spirit Essence. Reward: A bottle of Earth Core Spirit Essence Pill. Completed, claim reward?]

[Task: Obtain Ancient Flame God Token. Reward: Ten million Profound Yuan Pills. Completed, claim reward?]

"Claim!"

Seeing the rewards claimed, a sharp glint burst out in Lin Yun's eyes.

"I'll break through right here!"

"It should be enough for me to reach the Perfection of the Life Profound Realm!"

Thinking of this, he sat down directly cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Time passed quietly in tranquility. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Gu Yan had successfully broken through to the Life Profound Realm.

Opening her eyes, a hint of unconcealable joy appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

"Sister Gu Yan, congratulations." The surrounding Gu family disciples also cupped their fists in congratulation.

"Has anything happened during this time?" Gu Yan asked the Gu family disciples.

One of the red-clothed women stood out and said, "Yes, we received a Yuan Spirit message from the Gu family, but Sister Gu Yan needs to open it." As she spoke, she took out a blood-colored jade slip.

"Yuan Spirit message?" Gu Yan's mind stirred, and she read the information within, and then her face quickly turned cold.

"Sister Gu Yan, what's wrong?"

"Brother Yun Tian has been seriously injured by someone. It should be the Wei family who did it," Gu Yan said angrily.

"Those despicable fellows. If Brother Yun Tian is seriously injured, our Gu family martial gathering will lose a strong contender. The Wei family must have done it on purpose!"

"If Brother Yun Tian is unable to participate, our Gu family martial gathering will definitely have difficulty achieving good results," Gu Yan said with a sigh.

"Sister Gu Yan, each family at the martial gathering can invite a foreign aid. Our Gu family hasn't invited one this time, we can try asking Lin Yun to help."

Gu Yan's heart stirred, and then she smiled wryly, "With his strength, it's probably not easy to get him to be our Gu family's foreign aid."

"Forget it, let's wait for him to come out and try. Maybe he will be interested in the quota for the Primordial Pagoda."

Hearing Gu Yan's words, the Gu family disciples also nodded. That was all they could do for now.
