Chapter 253 Nanfeng Volcano

Speaking of which, Li Jiuqing looked towards the place where the python demon had dispersed.

"Now that these eighty-one tasks have been completed, I should be able to... proceed to the next step."

The scene changed.

Inside the mission hall of Tianying City.

All eighty-one tasks have been completed. At this time, Li Jiuqing's boundary points, in addition to the ones consumed before, have now accumulated to exactly eight hundred points.

According to Li Jiuqing's memory, if eight hundred boundary points are combined with spirit stones, Li Jiuqing can even exchange for some excellent fourth-level spiritual tools.

But so far, the spiritual tools are not very important to Li Jiuqing.

What he wants is opportunity.

An opportunity that can improve his cultivation or foundation.

[Brave young man, congratulations on completing the first test of the mirror outer realm, and the next is your deserved reward. ]

In the mission hall, after Li Jiuqing submitted all the tasks, a stream of light quickly sank into Li Jiuqing's body, and then the next words were displayed on the crystal in front of Li Jiuqing.

[Opportunity mission: Go to the outer realm of Nanfeng Volcano, accept the baptism of fire, and obtain a piece of Nanfeng Fire Crystal! 】

"Is this the mission of chance?"

After Li Jiuqing took a look and wrote down the mission, a parchment scroll also appeared in Li Jiuqing's hand at the same time, marking the route of Nanfeng Volcano.

"It's quite humane."

After Li Jiuqing finished speaking, he turned and left the mission hall.

According to the mark on the parchment scroll.

Nanfeng Volcano is an active volcano outside the outer realm, and there are some big monsters with fire attributes gathered nearby.

In addition to reaching the top of Nanfeng Volcano, Li Jiuqing's mission also requires going deep into the fire pool in the center of Nanfeng Volcano, and then relying on his own strength, go deep into the fire pool for 300 meters and obtain a piece of Nanfeng Fire Essence.

The mission doesn't sound simple, and the mission reward is unknown.

Although Li Jiuqing doesn't know what the specific use of this Nanfeng Fire Essence is at present, based on his current understanding of the mirror outer realm, this Nanfeng Fire Essence should not be an ordinary thing.

After memorizing the route, Li Jiuqing set off.

About an hour later.

Li Jiuqing set off from Tianying City and flew all the way to Nanfeng Volcano.

On the way

As Li Jiuqing approached, he noticed that there were many cultivators on the road heading in the same direction.

His spiritual sense swept.

Li Jiuqing more or less sensed a fire attribute aura from these cultivators. When Li Jiuqing noticed those people, they also noticed Li Jiuqing.

Each of them looked unfriendly, but because they didn't know the other party's body, they didn't make any trouble.

"It seems that this person's target should also be the Nanfeng Fire Spirit."

Li Jiuqing said in his heart, and then increased his speed to fly in the air. Not long after, the huge mountain of Nanfeng Volcano came into his sight.

At this moment, thick smoke billowed out of the mountain, and flames spewed out from time to time.

And around Nanfeng Volcano, there were also forty or fifty Jindan cultivators gathered in scattered places.

At this time, Li Jiuqing landed at the foot of the mountain. The moment he landed, he immediately felt the hot breath around him.

Moreover, this flame aura also carries a trace of violent power. If the aura of heaven and earth is absorbed here, this breath will also enter the body.

While feeling this power, Li Jiuqing immediately shielded himself and stopped absorbing the aura of heaven and earth around Nanfeng Volcano.

"Boom~"

At this time, the top of Nanfeng Volcano still exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Those Jindan cultivators like Li Jiuqing could only fly in the air at the foot of the mountain. They couldn't continue to go up a little bit. Even under this power, everyone's aura showed signs of stagnation.

"This requires hiking."

Li Jiuqing looked up at the Nanfeng Volcano that was almost towering into the clouds, and a memory flashed in his eyes.

"There is still a quarter of an hour. After a quarter of an hour, the suppressive force on the Nanfeng Volcano will disappear. Daoist friends, are there any companions?"

In the maximum limit of the Nanfeng Volcano's ability to fly in the air, a man in a gray robe with a somewhat old appearance looked at the others and said aloud.

"Liu Sanchun, this is your thirteenth time to cross the mountain. I think your strength is just like this. Just get out of the mirror and wait for death."

Another middle-aged man with a domineering tone appeared. The man was wearing cloth armor and had a tiger head iron armor on his right shoulder. He looked mighty and domineering.

"Hu Biao, you can't say that. If you were good, you wouldn't have succeeded in crossing the mountain last time."

Liu Sanchun was not polite to Hu Biao at all, and directly poked Hu Biao's pain point.

The argument between the two people in front was still quite intense, but it did not attract too much attention from Li Jiuqing, but if you look closely, you can see it.

At this time, Li Jiuqing's attention was all on a stone tablet at the foot of Nanfeng Volcano.

The stone tablet was not small, but only about a hundred people's names were engraved on it.

Among them, there were even the names of two acquaintances of Li Jiuqing.

The first one was Yan Xinyan.

On the stone tablet, Yan Xinyan's name is relatively low, and the traces are relatively new. It seems that he must have been here recently and succeeded in crossing the mountain.

In addition to Yan Xinyan...

There is another name that Li Jiuqing is somewhat concerned about.

Tian Yuyan.

According to the handwriting, this Tian Yuyan climbed the mountain much earlier than Yan Xinyan.

"I didn't expect that he had been here too."

While thinking, before Li Jiuqing could think more, a red ripple burst out from the Nanfeng Volcano in front of him, and then the terrifying suppressing force suddenly disappeared.

"Boom!"

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"

At the moment when the mysterious power disappeared, Liu Sanchun, Hu Biao and other cultivators in front jumped up and climbed the mountain quickly.

That power would suppress the spiritual energy. Without the blessing of spiritual energy, even a Yuanying cultivator would not be able to climb such a hot volcano.

Although the mysterious power disappeared now, it would reappear in three hours, which means that everyone must either climb to the top of the mountain within three hours or go down the mountain within three hours, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Swoosh, swoosh~"

Figures rushed quickly.

At this time, Li Jiuqing was also following behind. When everyone left the foot of the mountain and came to the middle of the mountain, a terrifying pressure also fell on everyone's shoulders.

This familiar feeling almost made Li Jiuqing recall the time when he joined Qingyang Xianzong and got the Transcendental Long Step.

The almost identical pressure and roughly the same scene immediately pulled Li Jiuqing into his memories. Li Jiuqing even couldn't help but wonder if the inspiration for the Transcendental Long Step of Qingyang Xianzong came from here.

But this time, Li Jiuqing's eyes were no longer as solemn as before.

"Then... let's do it again."

Li Jiuqing took a step forward, and the special pressure fell like a flood, and in addition to this pressure, there was also the baking from the temperature of the volcano.

The temperature was not low. Li Jiuqing estimated that if it was a foundation-building cultivator, it would be roasted in less than half an hour.

But...

Li Jiuqing had two earth fires in his body, so how could he be afraid of the heat.
