After thoroughly inspecting the entire cave, Chu Tian discovered three passages behind a wall nearby. He warned everyone not to touch the nine-level spiritual energy crystals on the ceiling, suppressing any greed they might have had.

Ensuring everyone was calm, Chu Tian approached the wall and found a loose rock. Removing it, he revealed a phoenix pattern, which appeared to be a protruding mechanism. Without hesitation, he pressed it, and the wall in front of him disappeared, revealing three mysterious tunnels.

Chu Tian suggested splitting into three groups to explore each tunnel. Sado immediately chose the leftmost tunnel, while Amina chose the rightmost. Muketuo decided to follow either Chu Tian or Amina, and eventually, he went with Amina to the right tunnel, leaving Chu Tian to explore the middle one.

Chu Tian's mental sense revealed that the middle tunnel sloped downwards for about 300 meters before ending at a deep abyss, with another set of tunnels across a 100-meter-wide chasm.

Chu Tian, unsure if this was the treasure's location, used his flying talent to cross the chasm and found himself facing another set of three tunnels, where his mental sense was blocked.

After observing for a few minutes and as Chu Tian was about to choose a tunnel randomly, Muketuo and Amina emerged from the left tunnel looking disheveled. Sado came out alone from the middle tunnel, and his remaining team member came from the right tunnel.

Chu Tian inquired about their experiences. Muketuo mentioned traps that sprayed Red Lotus Karma Fire, leading to casualties in Amina's team. Sado encountered more tunnels and split his team, but not all returned.

Sado regretted not taking the crystals outside, but Muketuo pointed out that they might not be able to return without Chu Tian, especially due to the dangers like the Red Lotus Karma Fire and the thunder explosion area.

Agreeing to explore the deep abyss, Chu Tian wrapped everyone in his mental power and descended. The descent was fast and frightening, especially for Sado. Chu Tian constantly scanned the surroundings with his mental sense.

At about 4,000 meters deep, they encountered intense heat near the magma layer. Unable to find any hidden caves and realizing they were approaching the magma, Chu Tian carefully lowered everyone onto a large rock near the magma.

The intense heat was unbearable for everyone except Chu Tian. After a thorough inspection, Chu Tian found a small dock with a stone boat carved with a phoenix at the bow, indicating the treasure's location might be near the magma river.
