"It's here!"

Lin Cheng's face was filled with happiness as his gaze landed on the pond in front of him.

This was not a very large pool. The water was dark green and the water was calm, with a faint rippling light.

In the center of the pond, there was a moss-covered rock that was about a foot tall. On the top of the rock was a fireball that was the size of half a palm, pulsing slightly.

Azure Flame!

Lin City recognized it at a glance. It was the Blue Flames!

He took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He stopped at the edge of the pool. Even though he could not wait any longer, Lin Cheng knew that if he was not careful, he would die on the spot.

"It's different from where I was in my previous life!"

Lin Cheng muttered to himself.

In his previous life, when he entered the valley, he had discovered that the location of the blue flame was on a emerald green rock near the cliff. Now, however, he saw the blue flame on a rock in the middle of the pool.

Could it be that the azure fire was alive?

This thought flashed past Lin Cheng's mind, but was immediately dispelled with a smile as he shook his head.

If the azure fire had a life of its own, it would have been impossible for him to obtain a wisp in his previous life. Although he did not know how the azure fire had moved, the azure fire was after all a true fire of the world.

Moreover, looking at the terrifying scale of the explosion from before, in the process of shrinking, there shouldn't be anything surprising about the location of the blue flames.

When he thought of this, Lin City's gaze once again landed on that relatively small pond.

"This pool looks calm, but I don't know if there are any unknown dangers lurking below." Lin City was secretly vigilant. Moreover, the fact that the blue flames had landed on that piece of rock was enough to prove that it was not a normal stone.

Just the terrifying heat of the azure fire was not something that ordinary soil and stones could endure. That was why the azure fire, as a true fire of the world, was called rootless because ordinary things could not bear the heat of the true fire.

However, this rock was completely unharmed, even the moss on it didn't show any changes, as if it wasn't affected by the blue flames at all.

Lin Cheng decided to test the waters.

He took a deep breath and concentrated on his guard, slowly walking towards the pool.

Looking at the dark green pool water, Lin Cheng tightly gripped the dagger in his right hand. The Yuan Li in his body circulated rapidly, preparing to attack at any time.

After making sufficient preparations, he slowly stretched out his hand and touched the pool water.

Suddenly!

The instant Lin City's fingers touched the pool water, a chill that felt like it came from millions of years under the glacier assaulted him, spreading throughout his body from his fingertips.

In the blink of an eye!

Lin Cheng's entire body was frozen solid!

Shocked emotions rose from the bottom of Lin City's heart as it exploded above his head. At this moment, the elemental energy within his body started to revolve crazily, the two chakras started to rotate crazily regardless of anything, not even caring about the damage to his meridians. Wild and violent surging elemental energy was crazily surging through his meridians.

Whoosh!

Lin Chen had just gotten rid of the chill and fell backwards. The next moment, Lin City rolled on the ground and took a few steps back. However, his body turned cold and his movements became slower.

Without time to think, he immediately sat down cross-legged and guided the elemental energy with his mind, circulating his physical strength at high speeds to dispel the chill.

After an hour had passed, Lin Cheng dispelled all the coldness in his body. He stood up, staring at the water in the pool with an incomparably horrified expression.

The pool water remained calm. It was dark green like a mirror made from jade. It was so beautiful that it would make anyone's heart palpitate.

However, Lin Cheng was drenched in cold sweat. At that moment, he almost thought that he was going to freeze to death, that kind of chilliness was simply too terrifying, in just an instant, his entire body was already frozen. If he was not prepared for it, his Yuan Power would have frantically circulated, and he would have already become a statue!

"This pool of water …"

Cold sweat dripped down Lin Cheng's forehead, he looked at the dark green water in shock, and his throat moved with difficulty, "Why is the water so cold? In my previous life, the cold water in Pill King Valley was cold enough, but compared to the water in the water in front of me, it's incomparable!"

What was the origin of this Frost Jade Pool?

Lin Cheng was bewildered, and his face gradually became unsightly.

If he wanted to touch the azure fire in the middle of the cold pond, he would have to cross the cold pond.

But this cold pond was so cold, with his cultivation at the first level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, he was almost instantly frozen solid. And this was only when his fingertip came in contact with the cold pond.

"If you are a cultivator at the Danhai Realm, you can easily cross the cold pond, but …" Before Lin Cheng could finish his words, he suddenly remembered that this was the Forbidden Land of Boundless. The more powerful a person was, the greater the suppression they would face upon entering this place.

"This means that no one can cross the cold pond!"

Lin Cheng shook his head with a bitter smile. If he couldn't even cultivate, how could he accomplish it?

Suddenly, Lin City thought of something and turned around. Not far away from him was a large tree that had been scorched black. The top of the tree had been burnt to ashes, but the towering tree trunk was still there!

"If I make a canoe out of these tree trunks, will I be able to cross the pond?" Lin Cheng's mind raced, "No, we don't need to make a canoe. This pool is not big, as long as we fall down a towering tree, we will be able to traverse the entire pool!"

Thinking of this, Lin City's eyes lit up.

He lowered his head to look at the dagger in his hand and thought to himself, "Little girl, you are really my lucky star!"

Lin City came before a big tree. The short sword carried intense elemental energy waves as it chopped towards the roots of the tree like a long blade.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Lin Cheng only felt an immense force emanating from the short sword, causing his hand to tremble. Looking at the roots of the tree, there was only a shallow mark left!

"So hard?"

Although he did not use the move of the 'Scorching Sun Saber', but ever since he broke through to the Arterial Circulation Realm, the elemental energy in his body had become far richer than that of his body. Even if he were to chop down on a golden rock, it would be enough to sever a golden rock!

However, when it cut into the tree, it only left behind a shallow mark. This was something that had been burned by the azure fire. If it hadn't been burned, then how hard would the tree be?!

Looking at the huge tree in front of him that was dozens of feet high, which required several people to hold it in their arms, Lin City began to suspect that he was being too shallow.

Originally, he thought that he had experienced two lifetimes, especially in his previous life. In order to refine the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead, he had traveled all over the Eastern Region. Whether it was knowledge or knowledge, it was far from what ordinary warriors could compare with.

In fact, if the cultivation experience was not taken into consideration, in terms of knowledge and experience, even martial artists from powerful clans or small sects, or even some cultivators, were confident that Lin City would not be inferior to them.

However, after arriving here, Lin Cheng suddenly discovered that he was completely ignorant. Whether it was the cold pond that could instantly freeze him to death, or the towering tree that was even tougher than iron and stone, he had never heard of such a thing.

"Is he about to reach the Divine Wood level?" Lin Cheng couldn't help but sigh, but he soon came to an understanding.

These trees were located in the core area of the blue fire. Even the ground was burnt into charcoal, but these trees still stood tall. From this, one could imagine how extraordinary these trees were. This made Lin City think of the rumor about the Divine Wood.

Legend has it that there were some divine trees that were extremely mystical. For example, there was one that was incomparably flourishing, yet contained a fire attribute that was inferior even to true fire of heaven and earth. There was a phoenix that once built a nest on the largest and oldest divine tree.

These trees in front of him were clearly not at that level, but they were most likely a type of divine wood.

"My luck is really good!"

Lin Cheng could not help but shake his head with a wry smile. He had originally planned to cut down a large tree to cross the cold pond, but now, he had encountered such a powerful and mysterious tree. With the effect of his sword just now, even if he were to die from exhaustion, he would probably not be able to cut down that tree.

Lin Chen turned his head and saw that the surface of the cold pond was still sparkling. Suddenly, a thought struck him. There was not a single strand of wind in this deep valley. How could there be a ripple of light in this cold pond?

He slightly furrowed his brow and once again carefully walked to the edge of the cold pond. He seemed to be deep in thought.

The cold pond looked calm, but its bottom could not be seen. Lin City could vaguely feel that the depths of the pond were not very calm, "It seems that if I want to obtain the azure fire, I need to find out what's so strange about this cold pond …"

Ah!

He had not finished speaking when he suddenly turned around. In the distance, there seemed to be a faint cry of surprise. The distance seemed to be very far, but it was clearly transmitted to his ears.

Lin City immediately realized that someone had come. It was very likely a student from the Eastern Region Academy!

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Lin Cheng's eyes immediately turned cold, "It's good that you're here!"

Then, he turned his head to look at the blue flame in the middle of the cold pond, turned around and left.

In the distance.

The faces of the group of students from the East Continent Academy were all filled with shock. They were all on high alert, as if they were about to face a great enemy.

"Seventh Elder, Senior Brother Chen, he …" Why did he suddenly disappear?! " A student trembled in fear as he asked.

Just a few breaths ago, when they arrived at this place, the person who walked at the very front was a senior brother. He suddenly let out a blood-curdling screech, and in the next moment, under the gazes of countless pairs of eyes, he disappeared.

The other students were also aghast. Some of them, who were closer to the missing senior brother, were even more so terrified. Because in that instant, they had clearly seen everything. Senior brother Chen had taken a step forward, and then it was as if he had been swallowed by a giant beast, instantly disappearing without a trace.

And before Senior Brother Chen disappeared, many people noticed that his body seemed to have become distorted in an instant. That posture was simply impossible for a human. It was as if he was just a pile of mud.

The surrounding people were all shocked!
