Chapter 365 Blue Heart True Flame_1
However, one thing was certain, the further down one went, the higher the temperature would become, and Divine Sense would also be affected.
Even though they were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it was still difficult to say whether they could safely reach the bottom under such suppression.
Considering this, Daoist Hu tentatively asked, "Lin, have you perhaps discovered something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianming chuckled and began to explain.
"Hehe... No, I haven't found anything in particular. I just feel this place is so peculiar that it's worth our while to go down and explore!"
"Lin's words make sense, but as I see it, ordinary cultivators simply can't withstand this place," said Daoist Hu, finishing his sentence before turning the conversation with a flattering remark.
"Hehe... As a body cultivator, Lin, your resistance is naturally incomparable to mine," he praised.
"Thinking about it, Lin could indeed give it a try. If you manage to reach the bottom smoothly, all the better, but if it's truly impossible, then giving up is the only option!"
Daoist Hu's opinion unintentionally aligned with Lin Tianming's own thoughts.
In fact, Lin Tianming was indeed planning to give it a try. After all, he had already obtained the Fire Dragon Grass, and even if he left this place, he would still be wandering around.
More importantly, he was assisted by the Eye of Five Colors, his Divine Sense was extraordinary, and his physique had undergone Dual Cultivation of Body and Law.
With such favorable conditions, it was better to explore on the spot, as there might be unexpected gains.
Having made up his mind, Lin Tianming courteously invited Daoist Hu to join him in the attempt.
Daoist Hu responded with an indifferent smile, quite aware of the limits of his own strength. Even if he wanted to, he had no choice but to give up there and then.
After all, if he were to be injured or even lose his life while exploring the abyss, it would be a loss not worth the gain.
Understanding this, Daoist Hu directly declined Lin Tianming's kind offer.
Seeing Daoist Hu's decisiveness, Lin Tianming didn't insist further.
Then, he gave instructions, "Daoist Hu, just wait here for a day and a half for me. If I do not return within a day, you may leave directly!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Hu nodded seriously and said no more.
After arranging where to meet up later, Lin Tianming didn't delay any longer and leaped directly into the abyss.
As his body slowly descended, just as he expected, the temperature increased and his Divine Sense was severely suppressed.
Beyond that, the fiery heat roasted his skin, causing intense pain, and his qi and blood churned incessantly inside him.
At this moment, Lin Tianming operated his Spiritual Power, creating a light shield that enveloped his entire body.
With the protection of this item, the acute pain from the heat was considerably alleviated.
Continuing to descend relentlessly, he soon dropped by several hundred zhang.
The abyss seemed bottomless, and he once again felt the intense heat, with the protective light shield barely offering any relief.
At that instant, he distinctly felt his qi and blood begin to stir violently, and his whole body felt as though it was being roasted over a fire.
Faced with this, Lin Tianming had no choice but to rely on the toughness of his body to endure.
Luckily, his body was innately strong, constantly releasing an indescribable energy that effectively weakened the sensations of pain.
Otherwise, under such intensity, an ordinary cultivator might have already fainted.
Time slowly passed, and as he continued to descend, fighting through the pain, he kept sinking further down.
In the blink of an eye, he had plunged several hundred zhang more.
By this point, he had descended over a thousand zhang, and the temperature at this depth had risen to a terrifyingly high level.
Clearly, the deeper he went, the closer he got to the source of the heat, and the temperature increased exponentially.
At this time, his consciousness became a bit blurry, sweat continuously dripped from his forehead, and it was quickly evaporated by the high heat.
Not only that, but flames started to emerge on some exposed parts of his body, which was an excruciating feeling, much more intense than the pain from Cultivation Method practice.
Even so, he clenched his teeth and didn't entertain the thought of retreating.
Perhaps having reached his limit, the energy from the elixirs he had taken before, or from the remnants of the Spirit Fruits, started to disperse, continuously strengthening his body.
At that moment, he could clearly feel his body filled with strength, and both his physique and spirit seemed to be slowly improving.
Although the degree of improvement was not significant, it was undoubtedly happening.
If he continued like this, staying here for a while longer would advance his Body Refinement Art further.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming was overjoyed. He never expected to gain some benefits from enduring some pain.
Having calmed down from his excitement, Lin Tianming didn't dare to linger. Leaning on this surge of energy, he descended rapidly, even faster than before.
After an indeterminate amount of time, his descent came to a halt.
When he looked carefully, he realized he was at the edge of a fiery pit.
Although the intense pain on his skin persisted, it had clearly eased compared to before.
Besides, he noticed that a large amount of dirt had seeped out of his body. After cleaning it away, his skin appeared as white and lustrous as jade.
Feeling his body further, he found that everything from his internal organs to his bones and spirit had significantly improved.
In this moment, he felt an extraordinary surge of excitement, as if his body possessed boundless strength.
By his estimate, his body had achieved a considerable upgrade. At that point, relying on his physique alone, he was nearly on par with the strength of his cultivation in Spiritual Power.
