The hole was not as deep as he had imagined; it was only twenty or thirty feet deep.
With his cultivation level, he could clearly see a blinding blue flame burning fiercely at the bottom of the cave. Within the blue flame, something black was faintly flickering.
It seems this is the famous Void Heaven Cauldron.
However, as he peered into the cave, he felt an intense, bone-chilling cold. If it weren't for his powerful Undying Golden Body, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would likely have been frozen solid by the icy aura upon seeing it.
The blue light at the bottom of the cave was clearly in the shape of flames, but it emitted an opposite, strangely cold feeling.
"The world is full of wonders, including this incredibly cold flame!"
Fang Chen was extremely surprised!
"That is the Azure Ice Flame, an extremely yin and cold fire. Not to mention a Core Formation cultivator like you, even we old guys who have reached the Nascent Soul stage dare not touch it. If you are burned even a little bit by this cold flame, even the Nascent Soul stage will be easily refined. Legend has it that this fire is not something that should exist in our world, and I don't know how those ancient cultivators found this ball."
The lame man among the three glanced at Fang Chen and said.
The old farmer stood not far from Fang Chen, also staring at the cave, and slowly said, "Even a Nascent Soul can be refined?"
"Of course! Otherwise, the Void Heaven Cauldron would have been taken long ago, and it wouldn't have survived until now!"
"Although the Azure Ice Flame is extremely harmful to us cultivators, there are still some things that cannot be burned. For example, the golden silk spun by the Golden Silkworm, the spider silk of the Blood Jade Spider, and my two Fire Pythons, etc."
The cripple spoke slowly. "It's a pity we didn't have the Blood Jade Spider; otherwise, our chances of success would have been much higher."
"Yes, this kind of monster is only recorded in ancient books, but no one has ever actually seen it."
The old farmer-looking cultivator said, "Legend has it that the silk spun by the Blood Jade Spider is unbreakable by fire and incredibly tough, making it the best material for lifting the Void Heaven Cauldron."
Fang Chen listened to the old farmer's words from the side, but his thoughts were on Han Li.
If it weren't for the fact that he had encountered characters from the novel "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" along the way, Fang Chen would have thought that he hadn't entered the world of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality."
At this moment, eight golden rays of light appeared as eight silk threads that stretched taut into the cave.
Suddenly, two loud snaps.
Two of the wires broke.
The remaining six golden rays, bearing the weight of the two severed threads, were instantly pulled into the cave.
Apart from the two broken golden beams, the remaining six golden beams all fell into it.
"Sigh... I failed."
"Unfortunately, years of preparation have once again gone to waste."
The gaunt old man, the old farmer, and the lame monk all looked dejected as they stared at the large hole in the altar.
Fang Chen stared at the large hole, his eyes darting around.
"What? You failed? Then step aside and let me do it!"
Just then, a young man in brocade robes walked in slowly.
Following him were six silent cultivators and six spiders.
These spiders, each with a bright red body, resembled cooked lobsters.
The boy was short, with a slightly flat nose, and looked very thin.
His tone was very arrogant.
"Blood Jade Spider! Who are you?"
The thin old man, the farmer, and the cripple looked angrily at the blood jade spider behind the boy.
"Blood Jade Spider!"
Fang Chen was startled the moment he saw the spider.
So many Blood Jade Spiders?
Could it be Han Li's?
Han Li was robbed by this young man?
The youth glanced at Fang Chen, rolled his eyes, and said, "A mere Core Formation cultivator dares to covet the Void Heaven Pill? Get out of my way! Don't disturb my spirit insects retrieving the pill!"
"What did you say?"
Fang Chen's gaze turned cold. How come there are such ignorant people everywhere?
Just now, Wan Tianming was in that hall, and now this flat-nosed guy is so arrogant too?
Upon hearing the flat-nosed man reprimand Fang Chen so harshly, the ten Nascent Soul cultivators waiting outside the main hall looked at each other with expectant expressions.
Do I need to say it again?
After saying this, the man with the flat nose immediately thrust the golden sword at Fang Chen.
Immediately afterward, the six dazed cultivators controlled by the flat-nosed man simultaneously unleashed their magical treasures, each shimmering with vibrant colors, and launched an attack on Fang Chen.
"Since you're determined to die, there's nothing I can do about it."
Fang Chen shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, a silver-white gun appeared in his hand.
It is a sub-light-speed railgun.
