Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 614 - 244: The Third Great Harvest (Part 3)

This pure "Life Force" is very weak, and if it arises imperceptibly and slowly strengthens, it is normal for cultivators who are in it for long periods not to feel it.

"How is the cultivation of the cultivators in the city recently?"

After some thought, he switched topics.

Upon mentioning this matter, both of them showed joyful expressions.

"Third Grandfather, I was just about to tell you."

"This Flame Lake City is indeed a cultivation treasure land for those with Fire Attribute Spirit Roots."

"Now in Flame Lake City, all the cultivators of the Shen Family have seen significant improvement in their realms."

"There are already dozens of cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Perfection Realm, and the rest have reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer."

"Grandson believes that given Flame Lake City another ten years, all cultivators will surely break through to Fetal Breathing!"

Shen Xiuyun spoke with pride.

Flame Lake City has only been established for about twenty years, and when more than a hundred cultivators were sent here, their cultivation was generally only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth or Fifth Layer.

Now, in just twenty short years, their strength has doubled.

This speed of improvement is much more terrifying than those cultivators in Yunshui City.

Were it not for the dense Earth Fire Essence Qi of Flame Lake City being unsuitable for other cultivators, Shen Xiuyun would have wanted to consult with the family to send more cultivators here.

Indeed, it’s due to this "Life Force."

Shen Wen’an remembered clearly that more than two years ago, when he came here, only a few cultivators in the city had reached the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer; the rest were still just at the Qi Cultivation Sixth or Seventh Layer.

Now, in just a short span of two years, everyone’s strength has greatly improved.

This situation is not simply because Flame Lake City is more suited to Fire Attribute Spirit Root Cultivators.

"Let’s go, let’s check out the Magma Lake."

After pondering slightly, Shen Wen’an spoke in a deep voice.

He had realized that this pure "Life Force" most likely had something to do with the Stone Egg in the Magma Lake.

His father, Shen Yuan, had previously speculated that the Stone Egg in the Magma Lake was likely akin to the Exotic Treasure appearing at the border of the Southern Border Fushan Country, all being Spiritual Materials.

However, they also did not know what specific effects these Spiritual Materials had.

The three of them soon arrived at the edge of the Magma Lake.

Many Shen Family cultivators by the lakeside were working fervently, using the Earth Fire Essence Qi to hammer and forge Magical Artifact Embryos.

Shen Wen’an did not disturb them and directly dove into the lake in an area without people.

The moment his body entered the Magma Lake, he could distinctly feel that the "Life Force" within the magma was noticeably more intense than in Flame Lake City.

"Truly strange..."

Thinking to himself, Shen Wen’an supported the Sword Element Shield and quickly swam towards the location of the Stone Egg.

Thud thud thud!

Thud thud!

Before he could get close to the Stone Egg, he heard a series of "thud thud" sounds emanating from the golden magma below.

Following the sound, he continued to dive, and from afar, he saw a large bird nearly a zhang long, with fiery red wings, perched on the massive Stone Egg, pecking continuously at the hard shell of the Stone Egg with its sharp beak.

Feeling his approach, the firebird suddenly stopped and turned its head to look over.

Upon seeing him, a trace of panic flashed in the firebird’s flame-engulfed azure eyes, and it began pecking madly at the hard Stone Egg beneath it.

"I’ve been trying very hard!"

"It’s... it’s too hard..."

A clear voice sounded, and Shen Wen’an picked up on the firebird’s panic.

"You can talk now?"

He curiously approached the Stone Egg, examining the firebird above it.

The creature was adorned in splendid feathers, with a few fiery red plumes tipped with specks of blue on its head, and its eyes were an ethereal blue, giving it a very noble and beautiful appearance.

"Could it be the legendary Phoenix?"

Shen Wen’an pondered inwardly, then spoke, "Don’t worry, I am not here to blame you."

This firebird was transformed by the Separation Fire Flame after consuming a large amount of Innate Spiritual Qi, with limitless future potential.

If well nurtured, it would become a major asset for the Shen Family, so he naturally would not be too harsh.

Upon hearing this, the firebird stopped, turned its head to look at Shen Wen’an, and said, "You mentioned last time, two years..."

With a slight smile, Shen Wen’an approached the Stone Egg.

Only to see that the Stone Egg had already been pecked open by a third, with a rich "Life Force" constantly emanating from the cracks, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Indeed, the "Life Force" in Flame Lake City is related to this object.

"Do you know what’s inside this Stone Egg?"

After pondering slightly, Shen Wen’an asked in a deep voice.

The firebird slightly shook its head: "The contents inside smell very fragrant, over these two years I..."

Halfway through its words, the firebird immediately shut its mouth.

With an amused, not quite serious look, Shen Wen’an looked at it and said, "You’ve been sneaking bites these two years, haven’t you?"

"Does your current form have anything to do with the contents inside here?"

Seeing that Shen Wen’an showed no signs of anger, the firebird awkwardly nodded: "The Separation Fire is originally an Innate Spirit, and my current state should have already surpassed the Seed of Separation Fire, reaching the Transformation state of the Innate Spirit."

"All of this is indeed caused by the power within here."

After nodding, Shen Wen’an continued, "Then are you now... a Phoenix?"

Hearing this, the firebird responded with an odd expression: "Phoenix and Huang are two different beings."

"I should not have reached that level yet, probably should be considered a Fire Phoenix."

Fire Phoenix?

Shen Wen’an pondered, not really understanding the relationships between these Ancient Divine Beasts.

After a moment of silence between the person and the bird, the Fire Phoenix suddenly spoke: "Hey, I have something to tell you."

Shen Wen’an turned his head, looking at it in confusion.

The Fire Phoenix glanced at the Stone Egg beneath it, hesitated slightly, and said: "I can sense that this thing is not simple. If it is completely opened, it’s uncertain whether it will be a blessing or a curse."
