Chapter 294 The Core Location, the Blood Spring
The core area of Liuchong Mountain.
If the outer region of Liuchong Mountain is the surface of the mountain, then the inner region is the countless cave passages.
So, this core area is a huge cave located in the center of Liuzhong Mountain, almost comparable to, or even far exceeding, the size of the Dark Land. Even the strongest beings in the universe would find it difficult to survive here.
Gu Ce's Star Flow Sea clone arrived here and began its exploration.
In the heart of the region, there are several dangers that require caution.
First, there's the gravitational field.
Upon arriving at the core area, the gravity fields became even more unpredictable and powerful. Even a top-tier palace-type treasure could be torn to shreds by the gravity fields if it accidentally entered some dangerous cursed areas. This was even more true for the divine body of a universe master. Even the strongest tenth-order universe expert would have to obediently hide in a palace-type supreme treasure.
Secondly, there is the eerie, mysterious sound that could appear at any moment.
The Deep and Mysterious Sound originally originated from the core of the Flowing Mountains and then spread to the inner domain. In the core, the intensity of the Deep and Mysterious Sound increased several times, making it a true sound of death. If a cosmic master did not possess a supreme treasure of the soul type, they would perish upon encountering the sound of death. Only the strongest beings in the universe could barely survive.
However, Gu Ce's Lotus Ancient City and Star Abyss Armor both have the ability to weaken soul attacks, and with the Divine Might Thunder Prison, a top-tier soul treasure that has reached the third level, there is no need to worry about those deep and mysterious sounds.
Finally, there is the unique danger of the core area of Liuchong Mountain.
Ghosts and walking corpses.
Ghosts are an extremely special and unknown substance. To this day, even the strongest beings in the cosmic sea have not figured out its function or why it can erode the minds of the strong, turning them into walking corpses.
The appearance of ghosts, like the haunting sounds, is also random.
The closer you get to the core of Liuchong Mountain, the greater the probability of encountering ghosts. Without the protection of a supreme treasure of the soul type, you will be directly corrupted by the ghosts and your soul and consciousness will be turned into a walking corpse!
Actually, when you are first tainted by a ghost, you still have a chance to survive.
All that is needed is to cut off the part of the divine body that has been tainted by the ghosts, isolating it before the ghosts completely spread throughout the entire divine body, and then one can survive.
Unfortunately.
The ghosts showed almost no signs of abnormality until the corruption was complete.
Even the strongest being in the universe who specializes in the way of the soul cannot claim to be able to determine with 100% certainty which part of the divine body has been corrupted by the ghost.
Therefore, when exploring the core area, Gu Ce should continue to hide in the Lotus Ancient City as always. With the protection of the supreme treasure palace, he can still avoid being corrupted by the ghosts.
As for walking corpses, there's no need to worry unless you encounter one that's too powerful.
In the last three cycles of reincarnation, there are a number of the strongest beings in the universe who have disappeared in Liuchong Mountain. Gu Ce is probably aware of their abilities, so there is no need to worry too much. At most, he just needs to be on guard. It is possible that the strongest beings in the universe from the two holy lands have become walking corpses.
After all, the people of the two holy lands do not have the lifespan limit of three reincarnation eras. Becoming a walking corpse is not a complete death. Their lives are still bound to the holy land universe, and they are not troubled by lifespan.
unless--
The progenitors of the two great holy land universes severed their connection with them immediately after confirming their deaths.
However, people from the two great holy land universes rarely come to explore Liuchong Mountain.
Those who explore Mount Liuchong are mostly powerful figures from the first and second cycles of reincarnation.
Therefore, the zombies he might encounter are mostly powerful figures from these two reincarnation eras. Gu Ce is aware of who he might meet, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
……
Swish!
Once inside the core area, everything suddenly became clear!
Although the surroundings were still pitch black, it was the kind of darkness where you could see things clearly, unlike the dark realm where even divine power couldn't reach very far.
The darkness here is more like the void of a star field in the primordial universe. Although it is dark, even a universe-level being can see things clearly in this environment. For Gu Ce, a universe venerable, it is naturally no problem.
The surrounding gravitational field kept pulling at the Lotus Flower Ancient City, and Gu Ce was forced to expend a lot of divine power to stabilize it. Fortunately, the bumpy section of the road was over soon, and the road ahead did not encounter such a strong gravitational field.
"Master, when are you going to study the secret runes of the Lotus Flower Ancient City?" Lian asked, peeking out from the side.
Currently, Gu Ce has only comprehended the first layer of secret runes of the Lotus Flower Ancient City!
This is certainly not enough for a supreme treasure.
The Lotus Ancient City has six layers of secret runes. Only when one comprehends at least the third layer can the Lotus Ancient City unleash its full power in the hands of the strongest beings in the universe under normal conditions.
Gu Ce only comprehended the first level, and in reality, he could not fully unleash the power of the Lotus Ancient City. He basically relied on a large amount of divine power to make up for the missing part of its power.
"ha."
Hearing what Lian said, Gu Ce could only give a wry smile and shake his head slightly.
"Right now, I don't have much energy left to study the secret runes of the Lotus Flower Ancient City," Gu Ce said with some helplessness.
Breaking the Rhinoceros King's Formation requires a great deal of mental effort.
Exploring the core area of Liuchong Mountain also requires concentration to avoid encountering various dangers.
Comprehending the secret runes of the Lotus Flower Ancient City also requires a great deal of mental effort, as can be seen from the last time the Lotus Flower Ancient City was fully recognized as its master. In a dangerous place like Liuchong Mountain, it is obviously unrealistic to ask Gu Ce to stop and comprehend the secret runes of the Lotus Flower Ancient City.
Lian nodded her little head; she knew these things too, she was just casually reminding her.
"Master, after you leave Liuchong Mountain, you must comprehend the secret runes of the Lotus Flower Ancient City as soon as possible!" Lian instructed anxiously.
"Yes, I know," Gu Ce nodded.
The secret runes of the Lotus City are something we must study. What's the point of having a supreme treasure if we can't unleash its full power?
"boom!"
In the distance, a massive plume of magma erupted from the cave entrance, its height estimated to be hundreds of billions of kilometers. The mere specks of magma that spewed out were hotter than the entire heat of a star.
The ancient city of Lianhua has now entered a lava field.
The lava that could be seen everywhere reminded Gu Ce of the God-Slaying Gorge of the Cosmic Ship, or perhaps the inner domain of the Inclined Peak Realm.
"Boom! Boom!!"
This place is filled with many holes of all sizes, and at each hole flows crimson magma, radiating high temperatures that could instantly annihilate even the ruler of the universe. Magma will gush out from these holes from time to time, so you must carefully avoid them to move forward.
Blood Spring.
This is the name of this dangerous place.
The magma that frequently erupts is like a fountain or a hot spring. The color of the magma is as red as blood, and its power is extremely terrifying.
As the magma surges forth, it sometimes brings forth treasures from underground. These treasures, capable of withstanding the power of the crimson magma, are at least top-tier treasures, and some have even encountered supreme treasures here.
Unfortunately, obtaining the most powerful treasures here is no easy task.
First, the biggest obstacle is getting through the gushing lava to reach that supreme treasure.
Secondly, it is necessary to break through the Bloodmelting Essence surrounding the Supreme Treasure.
Blood Essence is a rare metal that can be used to refine supreme treasures. It can be used to refine top-tier supreme treasures without any problems, and can even be used to refine the strongest supreme treasures, depending on the quality.
For some reason, the treasures that gush out from the Blood Molten Spring are always enveloped by the Blood Molten Essence. The Blood Molten Essence is extremely strong, and sometimes, even if you obtain the treasure, you will not be able to break through the Blood Molten Essence.
After all, it is the worst material that can be used to refine a top-tier treasure. Even if it is not refined and its strength is not as good as a real top-tier treasure, it is still comparable to the strength of a top-tier treasure. And destroying a top-tier treasure is naturally a more difficult thing.
However, even if you can't break through the Blood Fusion Essence after obtaining the treasure, you can still take the treasure back and find a way to break through it.
Find some people skilled in crafting treasures to help. Although these Blood Essences are quite heat-resistant, it is relatively easy to destroy them if you find some special methods. The Blood Essences that are dismantled also have considerable value.
Now that he had arrived at the Blood Molten Spring, Gu Ce decided to wait here for a while and see what happened. If he could obtain the most powerful treasure, that would be best. If not, there would be no loss, and he could simply find another way to leave.
With the Lotus City nearby, as long as he wasn't trapped in some dangerous place, the core area of Liuzhong Mountain wasn't too dangerous for Gu Ce.
……
Chaos Square.
Su Congduan Donghe Zhen Kan returned from his side, looking at Gu Ce, seemingly lost in thought.
Su He and Duan Donghe are different. Su He is the real power figure on the spaceship. He mainly manages the life of the spaceship. As the general's attendant, his status on the spaceship is basically second only to the general.
So.
Only those lava demons, the "cleaners" of the spaceship, would obey Su.
Su was pondering whether to have those Lava Demons rescue Gu Ce's Star Stream Sea clone first, and then conveniently destroy the Divine Eye Clan.
Gu Ce has been confirmed to receive his master's inheritance!
Those members of the Divine Eye Clan who dared to attack their master's successor were courting death.
I thought about it for a long time.
Su shook his head.
Forget it, let's wait until Gu Ce has truly received the inheritance before giving him the power of choice. Let him hone his skills using the Divine Eye Clan!
However, those Divine Eye Clan members still paid a price.
Su narrowed his eyes slightly.
Thank you "烟雨お平生" for the monthly pass!
