Zixin swam very quickly inside the lava like they were in water, Wan had activated his metal body. They deeper they swam, the higher the temperature but they endured until they reached the depths where Wan Shui released an invisible barrier that protected both him and Zixin.
"How long will this barrier last?"
"An hour, I'm expending energy faster than I can recover it."
"I see, then let's quickly look around."
They then started looking for the flame but didn't find it, what they did find were black and extremely cold pillars.
"What are these pillars for?" asked Zixin.
"I don't know." answered Wan Shui and touched the pillar but as soon as he touched it…
"What the hell!" he exclaimed because once he touched the pillar, he could no longer feel Spirit Qi in the environment and even the Spiritual Qi inside him had broken the connection with him for a second before returning.
"What kind of metal is this?!"
"I don't know but something tells me we should start digging."
