Chapter 2414: Chapter 2434: Pay the Price, Reap the Rewards!

The sun blazed overhead, and the air was hot as fire.

Lin Chen floated in mid-air, surrounded by swirling fire, yet he felt no discomfort.

Master of the Sun Scripture and controller of the Way of the Five Elements, why would Lin Chen fear such high temperatures?

As the Sun Scripture circulated, flames surged around Lin Chen’s body; in such searing heat, he was like a fish in water.

It was a world without greenery, a world of endless high temperatures that had turned everything into a vast desert, where the mountains were bare and clean, presenting a very unique appearance.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Lin Chen finally stopped because he saw a range of volcanoes.

Suspended in mid-air, looking down into the crater, one could see the rolling lava, emitting terrifying high temperatures.

"Beneath the surface, the hotter the place, the more likely Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones will appear..."

"Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones do not exist alone. Once one is found, it likely indicates a large cluster nearby..."

Lin Chen thought about the explanations in the Jade Slip, descended from mid-air, and leaped directly into the magma.

Cycling the Sun Scripture, Lin Chen, who emitted the True Sun Fire, was like a Fire God at this moment—how could he fear mere lava?

Others might need to use divine powers, like the Giant Hand Covering the Sky to upturn an entire volcano, and then use Divine Sense to carefully search for Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, but Lin Chen did not need to.

Earth Escape allowed Lin Chen to move through the ground as easily as if he were in water, along with the powerful perception of a Daluo Mysterious Immortal. If there were Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones filled with the Fire Essence underground, they would surely not escape his perception.

Lin Chen entered the bottom of the lava and used Earth Escape to go underground, wandering beneath the volcano.

Lin Chen was in luck.

He quickly sensed the Fire Essence. Even underground, the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones still radiated scorching energy, like blazing sources of light in the darkness, exceptionally clear.

Joy filled Lin Chen’s heart. The woman in red only wanted the Phoenix Fire, not the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones. Wouldn’t this mean a windfall for himself?

Although Lin Chen wasn’t a Fire Spirit Root, he controlled the Way of the Five Elements and could cultivate divine powers of all Five Elements attributes. Naturally, he could also use the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones to aid in the cultivation of the Sun Scripture, enhancing his strength.

Lin Chen instantly moved next to the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone, released his spiritual power, and the surrounding earth and rocks instantly broke apart, expanding into a space around him. Then, the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone, emitting Red Light, appeared in front of Lin Chen.

This was a Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone the size of a soccer ball—not a small one by any means. Lin Chen curled his fingers and tapped lightly on its surface.

If the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone had already nurtured Phoenix Fire, the internal pressure would be unbalanced, and a slight touch from the outside would cause the surface of the crystal to crack and the Phoenix Fire to leak out.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone did not break.

Lin Chen was not disappointed, after all, according to their experience, finding Phoenix Fire in one out of a hundred Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones was considered quite a good probability. Rumor had it that some with bad luck couldn’t even find one in five hundred stones.

Having stored the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone into the Spatial Ring, Lin Chen continued to wander underground.

If a soccer ball-sized Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone could be nurtured here, there certainly would be many more.

Indeed, as Lin Chen wandered underground and expanded his Divine Sense, it was like turning on kilowatt bulbs in the darkness one by one.

Lin Chen began to collect them one by one. After collecting about twenty, Lin Chen came upon another stone. Just as he was about to tap it and try, the Phoenix Fire Crystal Stone suddenly exploded, and a bright red flame flew out, like a Phoenix spreading its wings, trailing a long tail of fire.

Phoenix Fire!

Lin Chen was overjoyed. He quickly took out the porcelain bottle previously given to him to contain the Phoenix Fire, aimed it at the dancing Phoenix Fire, and opened the stopper.

As the stopper opened, golden radiance suddenly lit up on the porcelain bottle, and a huge suction emerged from the mouth of the bottle. The Phoenix Fire was instantly drawn by this suction, flew over, and plunged into the bottle.

Lin Chen closed the stopper, gave it a shake, and his gaze was subtle.

A cluster of Phoenix Fire in hand!

Lucky indeed!

According to the rules, each person had to contribute a cluster of Phoenix Fire within ten days to complete the basic task. Any excess Phoenix Fire could be exchanged for points, or credited in advance, since no one could be sure if they would continue to obtain Phoenix Fire in the future.

He had only just left the house, and he had already completed the basic task for ten days?

With the remaining time, aside from the Phoenix Fire, did all the other output count as his own harvest?

Lin Chen suddenly understood why those who were captured here, despite being trapped and so many having died, did not show signs of despair or disappointment.

In the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, any place with resources would face various fights and competition. Here, though they had lost their freedom, the conditions given by the woman in red were not harsh. They could obtain many cultivation resources and swiftly enhance their strength!

Freedom?

Everyone longed for freedom, but isn’t this treatment of unchallenged gathering of cultivation resources, even at the risk of temporarily losing freedom, worth it?
