STARTING MY CULTIVATION WITH TIME MANAGEMENT

Chapter 792: Chapter 29: Fire Element Cave Heaven

Three pairs of eyes?

Luo Yan was taken aback for a moment, unable to think of any demonic beast with three pairs of eyes.

It was not until the creature revealed half of its body through the gap that Luo Yan and Shi Liuli could see that it was a giant spider.

This spider was about several meters long, with eight furry thick legs, and flames like flowing light with red stripes on its body. Its three pairs of eyeballs shone like rubies, dazzling and emanating a strange, cruel beauty.

“A Wen Spider?” Shi Liuli exclaimed in shock.

Luo Yan was also startled by her words.

Now that he possessed the Innate Five Elements Great Chaos Divine Light, he could safely retreat unscathed even when facing a Nascent Soul Elder head-on—as his previous escape from Shi Yao had proved.

But a Wen Spider was a notorious fierce beast in the world, difficult to subdue even for immortal and buddha-like beings, let alone for two people at the Golden Core Realm.

“That’s not a Wen Spider,” Kunlun Mirror suddenly said. “It’s just an ordinary Fire Spider.”

“However, given that it has lived here for who knows how long, its cultivation realm is also at the Nascent Soul Realm, so you shouldn’t think about fighting it. Better to run away quickly.”

Luo Yan then single-handedly maintained the Five-colored Divine Light while pulling Shi Liuli with the other hand, as the two slowly backed away facing the Fire Spider.

The Fire Spider was extremely vicious, seemingly wanting to lunge at them, yet wary of Luo Yan’s Five Elements Divine Light’s prowess, merely kept tapping the ground with its legs and snapping its fangs non-stop.

Quickly returning to the surface through the tunnel, the two did not dare to breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, they promptly flew up on their swords, leaving the forest.

“We should continue to track those Dragon Clan cultivators,” Shi Liuli sighed. “Let’s not explore alone like this anymore.”

Luo Yan also lamented in his heart: Reviewing their journey in this secret realm, aside from the fortuitously found Mortal World Hundred Lives Map, most of the treasures they encountered were not secured.

In the Metal Element Secret Realm, the treasure was near the Extreme Pole Magnetic Mother, and they couldn’t take it.

In the Water Element Secret Realm, the treasure was inside the remains of a Thunderbird, and they couldn’t take it.

Now in this Wood Element Secret Realm, they encountered this demonic Fire Spider that they couldn’t deal with…

All these events pointed to one conclusion: The rank of this Cave Heaven Secret Realm was not something that Golden Core Realm cultivators could traverse freely.

It was only because Luo Yan and Shi Liuli were not ordinary Golden Core Cultivators that they managed not to falter at the very first Dwelling Cave Heaven.

“That’s fine,” he sighed. “Let’s have the Dragon Clan pave the way for us.”

After resetting their strategy, the two continued on their way to the previous location.

Since the Dragon Clan had discovered their presence, both of them were exceedingly cautious on their way forward. Shi Liuli had already cast too many divinations today, but given their life-and-death situation, she had to take the risk, never letting the copper coin out of her hand.

Divinations vary in significance, and Shi Liuli knew all too well which ones could attract the attention or even the wariness of the Heavenly Dao and which were more covert and less likely to be detected.

Luo Yan was also extremely busy, almost every five or six seconds asking Ah Jing if there were any dangers detected, annoying Kunlun Mirror to the point of telling him to shut up repeatedly.

Finally reaching the edge of a certain rift valley, Shi Liuli looked down and said:

“They should have gone down there.”

“Hmm,” Luo Yan scanned carefully and indeed discovered several traps.

Although many places were treacherously designed from the human perspective, and difficult to guard against, Luo Yan, having studied with the Dragon Clan for many years coupled with Ah Jing’s scanning to find leaks and fill the gaps, naturally comprehended all these traps thoroughly.

He then unleashed the Five Elements Divine Light, sweeping it over the areas where the traps lay.

Everywhere surged with waves of mountains collapsing and ground splitting open, bursts of chaos exploding at various locations within the rift valley. Boulders shot into the sky, thunder roared, and wind currents swept up sand a thousand feet high, startling Shi Liuli, who turned slightly pale.

She thought to herself that if she were to calculate, even if she discovered the traps in nine out of ten spots in advance, the one remaining would be enough to claim her life.

Unlike Luo Yan’s Five Elements Divine Light, which was so brutal and didn’t care where the traps were located, as long as it swept over everything, any traps would be rendered nonexistent.

My Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique… can’t do that.

If it were the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique, it would be quite good for trapping enemies, but since the traps were hidden beneath the rock layers, it would require the rough impact of the Milky Way’s waters to flush out each rock layer, which would be much less efficient.

After the Five Elements Divine Light swept across everything, the ravine had completely changed its appearance, leaving no trace of what it had been before.

“Let’s go,” said Luo Yan, leading Shi Liuli leaping down after the landslide had completely subsided.

The two used Sword Control to descend, passing through the chaotic layers of jagged rocks, until they finally reached the bottom of the valley.

This place was completely buried by broken stones and sand, unrecognizable from its original topography.

Luo Yan confirmed the spatial coordinates, then he threw the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle in his hand, piercing through space, and creating a path to the next Cave Heaven and Earth.

Upon entering the next Cave Heaven, as expected, they found themselves in a landscape akin to a scorched hell.

In the distance, there were smoking volcanoes and flowing red-hot magma, the air was filled with a burnt smell, and from time to time, oppressively hot waves rushed towards them as if they were about to burn through their skin and flesh.

“A Fire Element Cave Heaven.” Luo Yan asked with concern, “Liuli, do you feel any discomfort?”

Shi Liuli didn’t answer but began to form Daoist Formulae with her hands, and little by little, starlight began to emanate from her body.

Ordinary cultivators in such high-temperature environments, unless they used spells or took medicine, would be scorched by the heat.

But Shi Liuli, who had studied from the Five Latitudes Heavenly Secret Record, happened to know Daoist Magic resistant to high temperatures, while Luo Yan was skilled in Innate Five Elements Divine Light, so needless to say, he was in his element.

Each using their Divine Skills to protect their bodies, they then proceeded on their Sword Control flight.

It wasn’t Luo Yan’s first time in such high-temperature environments; for instance, the East Sea Pavilion Trial Secret Realm, beneath the Shushan Thunder Cave Plateau’s Fire Element Cave, and the ruins of Kunlun’s Divine Flame Path’s Hundred Thousand Fire Mansion, etc., therefore his expression remained calm and composed as he continuously scanned the surroundings.

Sure enough, he saw many crocodile-like demonic beasts swimming in the magma below.

“Those are Flame Dermochelys,” Shi Liuli spoke, “Their roar is like thunder, said to be able to harm from a distance. We should not descend too low, otherwise, if we startle them, it would be troublesome.”

“Hmm,” Luo Yan tried raising the height of their Flying Swords but found that the higher they ascended, the hotter the surrounding temperature became, to the point where even the Five-colored Divine Light couldn’t withstand it, and their True Yuan was being consumed terribly.

So that’s how it was. Flying too high would result in being burned, while too low would attract the Flame Dermochelys’ attention and would lead to being attacked en masse.

They had to maintain a proper height while controlling their swords.

Approximately half an hour later, Luo Yan’s scanning range finally revealed the figures of three Dragon Clan cultivators.

He saw the elder dragon engaged in combat with a huge Flame Dermochelys, which was as large as a mountain. Any casual swing of its tail carried a destructive might, as if the very heavens and earth were rending apart.

Shi Yao and Long Xiaoqi were supporting from the sides, but as this was a battle at the level of the old ancestors, the two of them could hardly be of any help and could only fly around, moving to and fro.

“Husband.” Shi Liuli called out, as the noise from the magical competition was truly too loud, “They seem to be fighting with something, shall we go and take a look?”

To go and take a look actually meant to see if there was an opportunity to exploit.

Luo Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized that the elder dragon in the distance did not seem to be fighting seriously.

The most apparent thing was that from the beginning to the end, the elder dragon had not used Dragon’s Might, seldomly employed spells, and for the most part, relied on its physical body to fight the Flame Dermochelys.

Then, looking at Shi Yao and Long Xiaoqi’s positioning, though it seemed aimless, they were actually always vigilant of their surroundings, as if guarding against something.

I see, so they are trying to lure and tempt us to reveal ourselves?
