Chapter 1571: Chapter 813: Earth Fire Vein (Part 2)

As for the Lin Family members’ cave mansions, they can be dealt with slowly.

After all, to date, the Lin Family members in Jinfeng Nation total just over a thousand people.

In contrast, this area was once a habitat for over ten thousand sect disciples of the Yuanchen Sect.

At that time, the number of cave mansions was overwhelming; even though many have been destroyed now, those still usable are more than enough for the Lin Family members.

Given this situation, the Lin Family need not be too anxious.

Understanding these circumstances, Lin Tianming no longer concerns himself with this matter.

As for himself, he currently has more important things to do.

According to his speculation, since that battle took place so long ago and the Blood Red Alliance has not made any substantial moves, it should indicate one thing: the Blood Red Alliance should not act rashly in the short term.

Otherwise, if the leaders of the Blood Red Alliance were truly enraged, according to their usual methods, their retaliation would have come swiftly.

Yet now, more than two years have passed since that battle.

Given the current situation, if the Blood Red Alliance wanted revenge, they should have already acted.

Since, up to now, no significant moves from the Blood Red Alliance have been noted, Jinfeng Nation shouldn’t face any critical danger in the short term.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming let out a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from his heart.

Next, he has another very important task, which is to explore the subterranean earth fire vein in this vast area of Qingyun Mountain Clan Land.

As for this naturally occurring earth fire vein, its exact period of existence is unknown.

However, according to conventions in the Cultivation World, given the high quality of earth fire here, there should be flames of very high quality in the deeper areas.

It is even possible that there might exist the Heaven and Earth Aberrant Flame.

Although, this point has yet to be confirmed, and the various archives of Yuanchen Sect do not mention it.

But Lin Tianming knows that the reason Yuanchen Sect might have been unaware is likely because, over millennia, they never had a powerful enough figure to venture deep into the earth fire vein.

Otherwise, if Yuanchen Sect had sent someone to inspect it, they would have picked up on some clues, however small.

Though Yuanchen Sect lacked the conditions, Lin Tianming himself is different.

For Lin Tianming possesses various exotic flames, even a terrifying flame that emerged from the difficult fusion of several powerful fires.

With such a heavenly treasure, Lin Tianming entering the deeply unreachable earth fire vein is as easy as an eagle soaring through the sky or a dragon diving into the ocean.

Because of this, Lin Tianming has long been unable to restrain his curiosity to explore deep underground.

If it were not for the numerous matters over the past two years, such as mustering troops to garrison Jinfeng Nation and constantly guarding against the revenge of the Blood Red Alliance, he would not have suppressed this urge.

And now, with Lin Shilu and numerous other Lin Family members arriving, he has many hands to help share the burden.

Besides, the reception of spirit land industry in the territory and the repair of Qingyun Mountain Clan Land have all been put on track.

At this moment, Lin Tianming can finally make time to do what he truly desires.

Understanding this point, Lin Tianming does not plan to delay.

Thus in the very next moment, Lin Tianming leaps forward, shooting off in a certain direction.

Soon after, Lin Tianming had already left the peak he was just on and appeared in a valley behind the mountain.

At this place, the ground appears a fiery red, with fire attribute elements particularly dense all around.

Feeling these changes, it’s noticeably different from other areas.

Such a result suggests a possibility, that is, the area under his feet should be the core part of the earth fire vein.

Regarding this speculation, Lin Tianming feels quite confident.

But regardless, he must go down to explore.

Deciding resolutely, Lin Tianming swiftly pats his robe and directly summons the Tiangang Sword.

Immediately following, Lin Tianming waves a large hand, and a sword light suddenly shoots out, piercing a long cleft in the ground.

Subsequently, Lin Tianming jumps into the deep pit without hesitation, continuously wielding the Tiangang Sword.

Under his actions, his body rapidly descends underground.

Half a moment later, Lin Tianming has delved into the depths of the earth, reaching several hundred zhàng deep.

Here, his surroundings no longer consist of rock, nor the light red soil of the outside, but a vast sea of flames whose boundaries even his powerful divine sense cannot touch.

This sea of flames stretches endlessly, with no end in sight.

Moreover, these flames scorch his body incessantly with their formidable heat.

Fortunately, Lin Tianming has the Blue Heart True Flame protecting him, so flames of this level cannot cause him any discomfort.

Even though Lin Tianming can cope effortlessly, he knows in his heart that if it were an ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivator, even those stronger beyond the late stage Golden Core without special means, they might not last long here.

This fact indeed confirms his previous assumptions.

For this, Lin Tianming feels no surprise, but rather a hint of secret delight deep in his heart.

In his view, the stronger the fire, the higher the possibility of treasures buried deep underground.

Besides, another crucial point is that with such strong flames, the true treasures are surely not taken by anyone.

After all, if the flames were ordinary, over the many years of Yuanchen Sect, there were not a few truly talented individuals among their ancestors.

As long as one person was strong enough with powerful means, surely someone would have ventured into the depths to retrieve those real treasures.

In this way, the stronger the fire here, the better it is for Lin Tianming.

Realizing this, Lin Tianming now looks at the boundless sea of flames with a growing sense of eagerness.

After calming himself slightly, Lin Tianming continues descending into the depths.

As his position gets lower, the surrounding flame temperature increases sharply, and the density of the flames grows more intense.

On this basis, the flame color shifts from light red toward dark red.

When Lin Tianming reaches a point a thousand zhàng deep, he feels the terrifying flames more strongly.

At the same time, his entire being, even his soul’s depths, endures a continuous prickling sensation without pause.

This feeling is nearly identical to when he first acquired the Earth Core Truefire.

For this, Lin Tianming, despite the immense pain, grits his teeth stubbornly and maintains his consciousness.

Luckily, Lin Tianming’s physical body is robust, with very vigorous qi-blood.

Moreover, through years of rigorous trials, he has developed an endurance beyond ordinary people.

This endurance is not just for the pain, but even fluctuations in his state of mind have reached a stage of profound calmness.

Based on this, Lin Tianming’s descent continues without pause.

Uncertain how much time has elapsed like this, Lin Tianming has already reached nearly two thousand zhàng deep.

Upon arriving there, the color of the flames surrounding Lin Tianming has completely changed from dark red to a golden yellow.

Additionally, the number of flames has sharply decreased, with only clusters of fist-sized flames occasionally drifting by him.

However, despite the significant reduction in flame quantity, the surrounding temperature has reached a terrifying extent.

At such temperatures, despite the protection of the Blue Heart True Flame, Lin Tianming still experiences unprecedented pain.

In fact, at times, Lin Tianming’s consciousness begins to unravel intermittently, seemingly unable to bear it.
