**
Within the magma, everything was a sea of fiery red.
Fortunately, with the Dou Qi barrier protecting him, Lin Feng could barely make out his surroundings.
His gaze quickly scanned the area before swiftly propelling himself forward.
He rushed toward the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, which was slowly diving deeper into the magma, waiting for him.
After catching up to Lu Man, Lin Feng finally had a moment to observe his surroundings.
Unlike the calm surface of the magma, the depths were filled with hidden currents.
From time to time, violent magma streams would erupt from unknown locations, each surge carrying immense power.
Each time this happened, Lin Feng's heart clenched in fear.
After all, these underground currents contained terrifying energy.
If struck, even a Da Dou Shi would suffer severe injuries.
Fortunately, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent was extremely familiar with this place.
Before the magma currents erupted, it always found the safest path to navigate through them.
Following closely behind, Lu Man and Lin Feng managed to avoid these dangerous streams with ease.
As they continued diving deeper, toward what seemed like an endless abyss of magma…
Even with the Dou Qi shield, Lin Feng could vaguely feel it—
The temperature outside was rising exponentially!
The three of them didn't know how long they had been descending.
At this moment, Lin Feng noticed a change in the surrounding magma—
The once fiery red had transformed into a deep azure.
And the temperature had skyrocketed!
Lu Man also took note of this, frowning slightly.
Upon entering the azure magma, the Dou Qi consumption required to maintain her barrier had surged dramatically.
And in this place, replenishing wood-attribute Dou Qi was nearly impossible—
The energy here was far too scarce for her.
After descending a bit further, Lin Feng and Lu Man suddenly spotted something.
Not far below, a brilliant green light shimmered, drawing their attention.
Seeing the glow, Lin Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned. "Looks like we're almost there."
"Oh? We're close?"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Lu Man curiously turned her gaze toward the light.
Though she was a Dou Huang, this was the first time she had seen a Heavenly Flame.
Not long after, the azure glow bathed the entire magma chamber.
As they approached the light source, they steadied themselves and took a closer look—
Within the radiance, a faint image emerged.
Amidst the flickering blue flames, a delicate azure lotus stood gracefully, its presence both ethereal and mesmerizing.
"What kind of Heavenly Flame is this?"
Gazing at the mysterious blue lotus, Lu Man turned to Lin Feng with curiosity.
She knew there were twenty-three types of Heavenly Flames, but she wasn't familiar with their specific details.
Hearing her question, Lin Feng explained:
"This azure lotus is the Green Lotus Core Flame. It ranks nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Rankings.
It is born from the depths of the earth, enduring countless temperings by the flames of the land—
Refined, fused, compressed, and shaped over time…
In ten years, it gains a spirit.
In a hundred years, it takes form.
In a thousand years, it blossoms into a lotus.
When fully matured, it radiates a deep azure hue, with a small flame burning at its core—
That flame is known as the Green Lotus Fire, also called the Green Lotus Core Flame."
"Hmph, so it's only ranked fifth from the bottom? No wonder I sense that it only has the strength of an early-stage Dou Huang."
Glancing downward, Lu Man scoffed slightly, confident in her Six-Star Dou Huang strength.
Hearing the disdain in her tone, Lin Feng immediately realized—
Lu Man didn't understand the true terror of Heavenly Flames.
He quickly warned, "Senior, you must not underestimate it!
The Green Lotus Core Flame can continuously absorb energy from the magma in this environment.
On top of that, Heavenly Flames are inherently violent and unpredictable.
Even a peak Dou Huang may not be able to subdue it."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Man's expression turned serious.
She hadn't expected this flame to be powerful enough to rival a peak Dou Huang within the magma.
"Let's go."
Lin Feng glanced at Lu Man and said.
"Mm."
Nodding slightly, Lu Man became much more cautious this time. She strengthened the Dou Qi barrier before slowly stepping into the light screen ahead.
Lin Feng followed closely behind.
As their bodies entered the azure glow, the expected scorching heat did not arrive.
Instead, the surrounding temperature strangely dropped significantly.
This eerie phenomenon startled Lin Feng for a brief moment.
After snapping back to reality, his gaze quickly swept across the surroundings.
Finally, his eyes landed on the azure lotus at the center.
The Green Lotus, composed of eight leaves, was flawless—each petal appeared as if it were sculpted from the purest green jade.
At first glance, it looked crystal-clear and mesmerizing, exuding an irresistible allure.
At the heart of the lotus, there was a small lotus platform, about two or three feet in size.
Tiny luminous specks flickered within the small holes on the platform—
Most likely lotus seeds formed by the purest fire-attribute energy.
Beneath the azure lotus, an exceptionally slender stem, more than ten meters long, extended downward.
Along the stem, countless fine tendrils densely covered its surface.
As these tendrils swayed gently, Lin Feng and Lu Man could clearly sense—
They were greedily absorbing the violent fire-attribute energy from the surrounding magma.
And just like that, the azure lotus floated within the endless magma.
It resembled a lone water lily adrift in the vast ocean, drifting with the currents.
Had it not been for the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent leading the way, given Lin Feng's current strength—
It would have been nearly impossible for him to locate this tiny azure lotus in such a vast region.
"Be careful not to touch those tendrils—otherwise, your Dou Qi will be drained dry in an instant."
Eyeing the azure tendrils, Lu Man warned with a serious expression.
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior. Let's retrieve it now."
Lin Feng cupped his fists, his gaze filled with anticipation as he stared at the azure lotus.
"Alright, let's go."
Lu Man nodded. With a flutter of her green wings, she flew forward.
Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly followed.
As they drew closer to the azure lotus, Lin Feng became even more enthralled by its breathtaking beauty.
Something this perfect could only be created by the relentless passage of time and the refinement of nature itself.
Carefully avoiding the swaying tendrils, Lin Feng followed Lu Man, slowly arriving above the Green Lotus.
His excited gaze swept over it, and soon, he noticed—
At the center of the lotus platform, there was a fist-sized hole.
Inside, a small azure flame flickered gently.
The azure fire brimmed with spirituality.
As it flickered, it would sometimes take the shape of a lotus, other times morph into a tiny flame serpent.
It hovered gracefully within the lotus seat—its docile and adorable appearance making it unexpectedly charming.
"What do we do next?"
Lu Man, momentarily captivated by the fire's form, quickly returned to her senses and asked.
