Chapter 110: Mastering the Principle of Fire (Part 1)

Sister Mei led Tian Yang to the place with a high concentration of Principle of Fire, the Eternal Rocky Hearth.

In the past, this was where the Supreme Pig dwelt, but for some reason unknown to the young man, this was not his current place of rest.

The glowing lava covered most of the steep rock walls of the Eternal Rocky Hearth and flowed to the base through narrow bright red rivers, flooding the surrounding landscape with a terrifying temperature.

There were hundreds if not thousands of lava rivers leaking out of the top of the mountain, and the amount of lava was so much that that lonely pile of flaming rocks was surrounded by a red ocean as dense as blood.

The three travelers were still a few miles from the mountain, but the temperature had become so high that the flying ship had begun to emit a blanket of white smoke.

"Your magic treasure cannot proceed any further. In addition, few creatures from the Immortal Realm can approach the base of the mountain. For you humans, it is sheer madness to reach that place, even if you have a high affinity with the Principle of Fire..."

Hearing sister Mei's words, Tian Yang immediately stopped the flying ship and descended to the ground among the dense forest, a much cooler and risk-free place.

The Eternal Rocky Hearth was entirely different through his eyes, especially those long flaming rivers, which emitted a dense, bright red cloud.

Thanks to his new eyes of the Principle, Tian Yang had discovered that the liquid inside those shining snakes was not lava but pure energy, a mixture of Essence qi and Principle of Fire.

"Hmm... I will proceed with caution. But I don't know how long I'm going to stay away, maybe it's better to choose a m..."

Tian Yang wanted to avoid revealing his powers to the two, so he tried to get rid of them, but the enigmatic girl immediately denied: "We will come with you. You're the only thing that can help us. I can't let you die..."

Sister Mei did not wait for Tian Yang's response and began to walk toward that flaming world without a modicum of hesitation, leaving Tian Yang stunned.

Of course, Little Bao followed the young woman while always remaining by her side, but at one point, she turned around and, with an expression of mockery, said: "Let's see how long you can resist... Idiot!"

Tian Yang smiled slightly but ignored the panther's nasty words and instead darted into the fiery world like an arrow...

The closer the trio got to the mountain, the greater was the energy contained in the air.

In fact, the Eternal Rocky Hearth was so ancient that the whole surrounding world had already undergone a permanent change, such that the soil and the few plant life forms emitted an incredible amount of Principle of Fire, making that place a perfect paradise for those with a burning flame inside their veins.

"This place is simply... a paradise! Immortal and Saint alchemical plants are everywhere... Not to mention all these rare rocks and metals, which managed to survive these terrifying temperatures... If only Xifeng was here..."

Tian Yang was amazed by the mountain, particularly by all those millennial treasures there in plain sight.

"Hehehe... Surely, the other Martial Cultivators and Immortal Beast are too scared of the residual power of the Supreme Pig in this place, so there are still so many treasures... Blessed be that fat pig... Hahaha..."

Along the way, Tian Yang had already collected a disproportionate amount of treasure and, of course, had no intention of stopping...

Sister Mei initially wanted to warn him not to be so hazy, but when she thought of the strange relationship between Tian Yang and the Supreme Pig, she let the young man raid the ancient mountain undisturbed.

After all, Sister Mei wasn't all that attracted by his irrepressible craving for precious objects but by his incredible resistance to Fire.

Within a couple of hours, the mountain base was less than a mile away, and the temperature had become so high that even Sister Mei had to use most of her powers to protect her body and the panther. Still, incredibly Tian Yang managed to proceed beyond undisturbed and without emitting a shred of energy.

The duo looked at each other with a stunned expression but did not interfere with Tian Yang's actions and instead began to observe him with particular attention.

As the two tried to uncover his secrets, Tian Yang was busy calming the little demon inside his head...

'Little Flame, you can't go out! With those two around, it's risky to show you outdoors. Even the Supreme Pig has warned us of the dangers...'

'Father, I understand, but... this will take much longer to absorb the Principle of Fire...'

'Stay calm! As soon as we reach that immense lava lake, I will let you out somehow...'

In fact, when Little Flame noticed the immense reddish ocean getting bigger and bigger, he calmed down and continued to tingle around the small black pearl inside Tian Yang's soul.

He wasn't the only one in that brilliant world, but he was accompanied by a shiny little green lotus.

Of course, the other was Green Lotus, and the little black pearl was the Heavenly World Pearl.

After his transformation into Creator of the Principle, the black pearl externally suffered no harm. Still, internally everything fell silent as if the inhabitants of that magical world had been disintegrated with the advent of the new Creator.

The magic seal imposed by that dark being with the power of the Principle of Blood had vanished. The Heavenly World Pearl had become an average pearl with no power.

Or at least that's what Tian Yang thought at first...

Because at one point, just as his heart was about to collapse into a thousand pieces, the silent pearl shook slightly, igniting once again a bit of hope into the poor guy.

It was only a moment, but it was more than enough to reassure the young man because only a being could rule the mystical pearl excluded him... That crazy old man, Old Tian!

The young man still did not know the actual extent of the damage suffered inside the treasure, but at least he knew that his family was still alive.

"We're finally here!"

A few steps from the vast fluorescent lava lake, Tian Yang sighed, very relieved because his body had become so powerful that he endured that terrifying world around the Eternal Rocky Hearth.

A few steps away from the young man, the duo stared at him with a shocked expression, upset by his incredible affinity with the Principle of Fire.

After all, the two creatures came from the Immortal Realm, a world with much higher knowledge than the ruined Elemental World…
