ough I was born with the aptitude for alchemy, I squandered my youth indulging in earthly pleasures and reveling in distractions. This led me to only achieve the Foundation Establishment stage at the...The avatar noticed that the palace here was more grand than the main hall of the Ice Palace, at least as important as a place in the Fire Palace.

>

The formation of Huxi Island is special, dividing the floating island into nine parts. Each fire dragon corresponds to a spiritual array hub. It seems that the layout of the Fire Phase Hall should also correspond to the formation.

In addition to the undisputed central palace, each of the surrounding halls also has its own function.

The deity scanned the area, but found no plaques or steles. This place was truly in ruins, making it impossible to determine what the palace was used for back then.

Looking ahead further, after a slight hesitation, the fire jade centipede had already disappeared into the distance.

He transformed and rushed after the Fire Jade Centipede, not stopping here.

That treasure, if it were on Hōrishima Island, would most likely be placed in the inner hall of the Fire Phase Hall, at the center of the spirit formation, where a special formation replenishes its energy, much like an ice tray.

The treasure that attracts the fire jade centipede is also in the inner palace.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

First go to the central palace, and then consider searching other places.

Passing through this palace ruin, the front turned into a vast expanse of jungle again. It wasn't just fire-poppy trees; there were also various spirit plants with similar effects, including some precious spiritual flame trees.

The fire jade centipede circled around but always followed the direction of the palace center.

Passing through the forest.

A river of lava blocked their path.

Having gauged the distance, we crossed the river of magma. We should now be entering the inner court of the Fire Hall. On the opposite bank, silhouettes of palace buildings began to appear again, but they were scattered and far apart.

Upon reaching the other shore and walking for a while, I realized that the palaces weren't scattered randomly but had been reduced to ruins by war. Not even one out of ten main palaces remained standing.

It can be seen that the enemy's main force should have attacked the island from the south back then, so the southern part of Huxi Island was directly shattered. Wuxi Xianmen retreated again and again, and the decisive battle took place in Zhonggong.

'...Boom boom boom...'

>

A deafening roar came from ahead.

The source of the sound is a lava waterfall, right in the central palace area!

Gazing with his eyes wide, he saw flames of crimson dancing in the air before the ruins, a terrifying power churning within them.

This power would indiscriminately attack all intruders. Its power might not be strong enough to kill him, but its imposing force surging upstream against the lava waterfall would be impossible to conceal. Therefore, the avatar had no choice but to avoid this shortcut.

Everything you see is ruins.

The expression on the avatar’s face grew increasingly grave.

The feedback from the fire jade centipede became increasingly excited, shaking its head and tail, its speed increased by three points, transforming into a golden thread that instantly pierced through the broken walls and ruins.

As expected, the Zhonggong was the core of the Huixiang Palace, with an originally dense architectural layout comparable to Bingyigong.

> Moving quickly through the ruins.

Taking on the guise of a commoner, he looked around, searching for any trace of the Fire Phase Formation's remnants. Using these traces to deduce the location of the formation's eye was undoubtedly the most efficient approach.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

It's a pity that this place is too dilapidated. The incarnation looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out the pattern.

The sound of the lava falls is getting louder.

The incarnation even saw the crimson lava splashing in the air.

Just then, the fire jade centipede, which had been flying non-stop, finally paused.

As a thought flashed through my mind, I swiftly moved to the side of the Fire Jade Centipede. Before me stood a fire jade carving of a fire dragon sculpture, its posture mighty and majestic, soaring through flames with each scale shimmering with crimson flamelight, adding a touch of grandeur.

Please note: I've removed the extraneous ">" as it wasn't part of the text you wanted translated.

Unfortunately, the dragon sculpture's head and tail were smashed, leaving only a battered dragon body.

Behind the sculpture stands a nine-tiered jade staircase. Above the staircase, there is still a dilapidated palace. The ancient palace leaks everywhere, with holes in its top and an unobstructed view inside. One can faintly see the beautiful carvings on the walls.

Looking at the layout here, the fire dragon sculpture seems more like a guardian spirit beast at the entrance.

The fire jade centipede stubbornly stared at the fire dragon.

To be precise, it was staring at one of the dragon claws of the Fire Dragon. The Fire Dragon sculpture only had two dragon claws left, one soaring in the air and the other stepping on a base carved into flames. The Fire Jade Centipede was looking at the second claw.

The avatar was still looking at the palace behind the sculpture, and didn't see the fire jade centipede make an attacking gesture. It actually charged headfirst into a dragon claw.

An unexpected scene appeared.

The moment the Fiery Jade Centipede collided, Dragon Claw suddenly turned transparent. On the base of flames, a hole appeared, radiating red light, like the entrance to a magma well.

As the fiery jade centipede materialized, its movements were reckless and impulsive. Originally, Mo had been muttering incantations silently, preparing to deal with any unforeseen circumstances. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but be taken aback. "This... is there a secret chamber within the Fire Phase Hall as well"

>

As his thoughts flickered, the fire jade centipede vanished in a flash.

Embrace the transformation and follow suit.

The ancient well is very deep.

The farther down you go, the brighter the light becomes.

Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The avatar discovered that the walls of the ancient well were covered in strange runes, clearly a place with numerous barriers. However, it did not attack him or the Fire Jade Centipede.

He will seal the image in his heart, study it carefully, and gradually come to understand.

These restrictions are not intended for offensive or defensive purposes.

Combining with the fire dragon sculpture outside, they are judged to be used for absorbing abundant flames from outside and channeling them to the bottom of the ancient well.

This fire dragon sculpture is definitely not the only one, and the place where its breath converges must be very important.

Upon this discovery, he was secretly pleased.

Gathering fiery breath, isn't it similar to the ice platform of Bingyi Palace

The path continued downwards for an unknown length until it finally reached the bottom. However, instead of a well's end, another road appeared leading forward. After walking for a while, they arrived at the end, where a stone gate blocked their way.

The door was ajar.

Through the stone gate, his transformed self could feel the intense heat inside. The fire jade centipede was even more lively and excited.

He gestures with his hand.

The Fire Jade Centipede was imprisoned, greatly enraged.

Ignoring the protests, he moved his thoughts to summon the Snow Treader Divine Blade and pushed open the stone gate with its blade.

‘Crick!’

The door opens.

A surge of heat waves rushed out.

Huasheng squinted his eyes and found that behind the door was a vast underground palace. Inside the palace, there were bright red lights everywhere, with rows of railings carved from fire jade.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

It is noteworthy that the ground was littered with corpses.

"This kind of place... how could corpses be preserved until now"

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was not the corpse of a cultivator but rather the shattered remains of a peculiar jade puppet.

As he stepped into the underground palace, his transformed body immediately heard the sound of jade rubbing and colliding.

Huan Shen's gaze narrowed as he turned his head to follow the sound. In the distance, a puppet stood up, its two fire-red eyes staring straight at him.

“Whoosh!”

A blast of hot wind hit me.

The puppet vanished in place, leaving streaks of afterimages in the void. Its speed was astonishing.

The avatar remained calm and collected, wielding their blade with a decisive strike.

Suddenly, several cold lights crisscrossed the void, radiating a bone-chilling coldness.

The puppet, as if deliberately charging into the blade's light, shattered into pieces. It was sliced to shreds right there, its fragments scattering across the ground.

Unexpectedly, before the transformed being could even sheath its blade, a crimson figure shot out from the center of the underground palace and landed on the ground. The fragments instantly pieced back together, and the puppet was restored to its original state in an instant, continuing its assault.

Hua Shen's gaze darkened, his eyes turning ghastly white. With a raised hand, he unleashed a torrent of icy divine light, freezing the puppet into an ice block.

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Approaching the ice block and examining it, Huashan said, "So that's how it is."

This puppet was actually a talisman puppet, but it differed from the talisman puppets of Shangyuan Qingjing Palace. A talisman puppet contained a core talisman seal within its body. As long as the seal wasn't destroyed, the puppet could be reborn, quite ingenious.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The energy that allows the puppet to be reborn is that red shadow.

Hua Shen took a step forward, coming to the railing and taking in the full view of the palace.

The earth palace had eight stone gates on all four sides, as was guessed before its transformation. Each gate corresponded to a sculpture outside, but several of the stone gates were broken and the prohibitions severely damaged.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Surrounding it was a series of corridors, extending downwards to the very bottom, where there was a square spirit pool.

The Spirit Pool was less than half the size of the Earth Palace, but all the fiery qi brought into the Earth Palace gathered in it, becoming extremely dense. A transformed being had to pour their true essence into their eyes to pierce through the substantial flames and see the true scene within the Spirit Pool.

The crimson breath condensed in the pool into a pool of flowing fire. After ten thousand years, who knows what kind of transformation had taken place. The pure flowing fire had become golden.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Next to the spirit pool stood a short stone tablet inscribed with the words "Flowing Fire Illusion True Pool" in five large characters.

"Phantom fire, illusionary reality..."

Incarnation muttering, eyes moving online, from the golden firelight saw a phantom.

These phantoms are bound by invisible restrictions, crowded here, confined to the area corresponding to the Flowing Fire Illusory Reality Pool.

At the bottom, near the Illusory Fire Zhenchi, the phantom was completely golden. As it moved upwards, its color gradually shifted to red, and its aura also weakened progressively, with distinct layers.

Corresponding to this is an outer layer of corridors.

Every corridor has a balcony extending outwards, although there are no cushions, it can be seen that it is prepared for cultivators, so they can meditate here and capture the phantoms inside.

This tag is for a paragraph break.

The higher the cultivation level, the deeper the position.

"...a place that seems to have been intentionally cultivated for spirits..."

The avatar examined the phantom, discerning that it resembled a fire spirit.

But unlike naturally born Fire Spirits, their eyes were hollow. They were bound by the restrictions above the Liu Huo Huan Zhen Pool, behaving lifelessly. They lacked even a thought of escaping their prison and yearning for freedom, almost appearing like inanimate objects.

Even the golden phantoms closest to the Ryuka Genchi were like this.

Considering Fu Kui's performance just now, it was only when Chi Ying and Fu Kui merged that they were endowed with the intention to fight.

This is very abnormal, it's the result of the Lingchi builder intentionally causing it.

Of course, the Fire Spirit is not only useful for merging with puppets, it has many other uses.

This kind of fire spirit is easier to be subdued by disciples and then cultivated with secret techniques, greatly reducing the possibility of betrayal. Moreover, the restrictions in the Spirit Pool are mysterious and profound, with potential that may not be inferior to naturally born fire spirits. It can even be mass-produced, one for each person.

Everywhere you look, you can see the profound background of the Wu Xiang Immortal Gate.

Impressed yet disappointed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of let down. This place was far from what he had imagined. It wasn't treasures that attracted the Fire Jade Centipede, but the Fire Spirit.

Fire Spirits are born from the purest red flames. The most valuable thing is that they haven't yet formed their spiritual awareness, so they can be consumed directly without worrying about being retaliated against by the Fire Spirit. It's undoubtedly a great tonic, no wonder the Fire Jade Centipede is so eager.

Embodiment releases limitations.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Fire Jade Centipede was eager to get started. It wasn't afraid of the fiery breath from the Spirit Pool and plunged directly into the group of Fire Spirits, starting from the top layer and burrowing into the body of a crimson Fire Spirit.

The fire spirit quickly withered and vanished.

The fire jade centipede appeared, its aura noticeably enhanced. Without hesitation, it charged towards the other side.

The fire spirits stirred restlessly. They lacked intelligence and wouldn't attack in a coordinated manner, only the one attacked would instinctively fight back.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The fire jade centipede is already a fourth transformation spirit insect. This level of counter-attack can't harm it.

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The incarnation watched the fire jade centipede hunt wantonly, then shifted its gaze to the Flowing Fire Illusion True Pool. "It's a pity that the fiery qi in this place has accumulated for thousands of years. It's not what it used to be. If I were here, I could also gain quite a bit of benefit by collecting it. When I return from Emperor's Gift Mountain, I wonder if it will still be there..."

This is a test.

He did not forget the mission of this trip.

But he tried several times, the fire jade centipede just kept eating greedily and wouldn't stop until it was full. It showed no interest in other treasures and had no thought of continuing to search for them at all.

Turning into a helpless state, I thought to myself, "Does this mean that the Fire-Walking Treasure isn't here Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why the Fiery Jade Centipede is acting like this."

Let it have a taste of its own medicine and let itself get busy.

>

Although no ultimate treasure was found, the underground palace's restrictions were relatively intact. The avatar observed that some of the restrictions did not belong to the underground palace and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, should be part of the Huofang Hall Grand Array. Preparations were being made to deduce the location of the array's eye based on this.

Even though Qin Sang's skill in this path was not weak, he spent a great deal of effort before gradually getting some clues, following the trend of the situation.

When I am busy as a person.

A valley in an unknown place.

As the mountain wind blew, the light and shadow danced, and suddenly three figures appeared, it was the Poison King's trio.

“This should be the final battleground...”

The Poison King scanned his surroundings, his gaze falling upon the valley below, his voice resolute.

They were drawn to the visions of Bingyi Palace and rushed here without stopping. However, halfway there, they discovered traces of a battle, leading them to the valley. Important information was deliberately erased, but from the traces, it can be judged that both sides in the fight were not weak.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In fact, there are no weaklings in the mansion now.

"Three people! One side has help, the other fights alone. The ending doesn't seem very good!" Lao Mo Fan judged.

>

But Master Huaiyin had a different opinion. He kept his eyes closed, breathing steadily, as if meditating. Suddenly, his nostrils quivered, and he emerged from meditation, saying, "Something's amiss. Both sides might be the same person. The two auras are distinct yet seem connected."

Master Huayi's spiritual perception was extremely acute, discerning even the slightest differences and approaching the truth.

This is the battlefield where Su Zi Nan and Elder Yan Shan fought.

Although Su Zinan managed to succeed and made arrangements for the aftermath, his heart remained tied to the celestial palace's opportunity, and he was also drawn to the strange visions of Bingyi Palace. There were always places that remained incomplete.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He ignored some clues and was noticed by Master Huaiyin.

The Poison King trusted the Hidden Master's divine power, "What does the master mean, spiritual slaves, puppets, or avatars"

Elder Demon Fan twitched the corner of his eye and scoffed, "Old monk, you're not seeing clearly. That person's opponent is no weakling. If he truly is alone, relying solely on himself... humph..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

No conclusion was reached.

The Poison King shifted his gaze, seeing the red glow of the sky in the northeast direction, and the faint shadow of the floating island. He softly said, "They have old grudges, are they still fighting over something"

The battle is decided, even with treasure, it wouldn't belong to you!

Here's the translated text: >

Lao Mo coldly snorted, pointing at Di Shou Mountain, impatiently saying: "Several places of light and shadow are flickering in the mountains, clearly someone is climbing. The pillar of light phenomenon also erupted near this mountain. If we delay any longer, there will only be scraps left!"

The Poison King also saw the phenomenon on Emperor's Mount, and hesitated: "That floating island with flames covering the sky, accumulated for millennia, should have a buildup of fire poison, which would be very useful to me. The two of you might as well take the lead and wait for this king to collect the fire poison before meeting on the mountain."

(The End)Liu Li.Luckily, I had prepared two plans, otherwise, I wouldn't know how long to search!Qin Sang let out a breath and immediately, according to the agreement, attacked the prohibition every ten breath...
