The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 1004: The Lotus Platform

"This should be Brother Su's chance. 

Maybe we shouldn't have followed him. The situation is a bit awkward now. 

Without the protection of his powerful flame, we'd likely struggle to withstand the intense flames here. But relying on his protection must also be taking a toll on him."

Seeing the pain and distortion on Su Jingzhen's face, Jian Ling and the others exchanged glances, their expressions filled with guilt. 

At their cultivation level, they could easily guess what Su Jingzhen was going through.

However, just as they were thinking about it, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up. 

The roaring lava around them disappeared, and the flames seemed to grow gentler. 

In an instant, led by Su Jingzhen, they entered a vacuum zone similar to the one they had encountered when collecting the Ethereal Flame in the previous volcano.

There were no flames in the void before them. 

Even the red, orange, yellow, and green flames that had invaded Su Jingzhen's body were nowhere to be seen. 

It was as if those flames only existed in the lava they had passed through.

In the middle of the void, they saw a partially colored lotus platform. 

However, Su Jingzhen only glanced at it before sitting down cross-legged in mid-air. The flames within his body had yet to be fully subdued.

Seeing this, Shengana's expression turned serious again. 

Without hesitation, she intensified the healing energy from her staff. 

In the eyes of Ning Yao, Han Ganxue, and the others, Su Jingzhen now resembled a cocoon emitting a faint green energy.

The red, orange, yellow, and green flames continued to rampage through Su Jingzhen's body, shattering his meridians, only for Shengana's healing energy to repair them. This cycle repeated itself endlessly.

Fortunately, Su Jingzhen had gotten used to the pain. 

Before long, with the continuous growth of his blood energy and his relentless efforts, the red flame that had first entered his body was successfully absorbed and fused into the flesh and blood flame.

After such a prolonged refinement, the energy he had just broken through to the seventh stage of the Body Venerable Realm rose again, naturally reaching the eighth stage. 

He was now only one step away from reaching the peak ninth stage.

If he chose to open a secret repository now, he could instantly transcend the Body Venerable Realm and reach the level of a Body Emperor, comparable to the Great Perfection Realm. 

Beyond that lay the ultimate dream of many body refiners—the Flesh Body Sainthood, the ascension of a body refiner.

The temptation was undeniably great. 

However, Su Jingzhen did not act rashly. 

Instead, he continued to use the Flesh and Blood Flame cultivation method to absorb and merge the orange, yellow, and green flames into it.

Even though these flames were only small portions that had invaded from the lava, their high-level essence greatly enhanced Su Jingzhen's Flesh and Blood Flame. 

At this point, Su Jingzhen felt that even if he claimed his Flesh and Blood Flame was the strongest in the cultivation world, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

After absorbing the other three flames, his body's cultivation level had unsurprisingly reached the ninth stage of the Body Venerable Realm. 

Now, every movement he made felt like his strength had multiplied exponentially.

"Just a few small breakthroughs, but defeating a mid-stage Spirit Immortal should be much easier now," Su Jingzhen thought to himself.

He stood up, feeling better than ever, though he didn't reveal his improved cultivation level. 

His gaze finally fell on the seemingly incomplete lotus platform in the middle of the room.

"It's not a flame? What is this thing?"

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself as he approached the lotus platform. 

Jian Ling and the others followed curiously. 

The inside of this volcano was not what they had imagined. 

The space was quiet and the temperature was not too high - at least they could move around freely without any problems.

Soon they reached the lotus platform. It was only half intact.

"I can sense an extremely powerful fire attribute fluctuation from this lotus platform, but for some reason there's no flame present," 

Shengana said, frowning as she observed the platform. She had already put her staff away.

At this moment, Jian Ling stepped forward with her sword and gently poked at the platform.

Seeing this, Su Jingzhen's expression changed abruptly. "Be careful!"

As soon as Su Jingzhen spoke, Jian Ling's sword touched the lotus platform. 

The sharp sword energy seemed to trigger the platform's power. 

A wave of seven-colored energy erupted from it, and Jian Ling's high-grade sword instantly melted. 

If she hadn't let go quickly, the seven-colored energy, which resembled flames, would have consumed her as well.

Despite her formidable combat prowess, Jian Ling couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. 

In that moment, she had truly felt the calling of death. 

She had no doubt that if the energy had reached her, her cultivation level wouldn't have been enough to withstand it.

Although this seemed like a minor incident, the light in Su Jingzhen's eyes grew brighter. This was a treasure!

In that brief moment, Su Jingzhen had sensed that the multi-colored energy fluctuation contained traces of the red, orange, yellow, and green flames he had just absorbed. 

Immediately, he took out his black brick.

"Step back," 

Su Jingzhen said, but Jian Ling and the others had already stepped back several meters.

The black brick in Su Jingzhen's hand erupted with an intense black light. 

The power of the world instantly enveloped the half lotus platform. 

Whatever this thing was, storing it in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was the right move. 

Once inside, no matter how powerful it was, it would be under his control.

The seven-colored light of the lotus platform surged in response, as if resisting. 

Su Jingzhen mobilized all his authority over the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, channeling the full force of the world's power. 

Although the lotus platform was extraordinary, it was still incomplete.

At the same time, Bai Suzhen's back shimmered with her blue divine rune. 

A blue-white light flashed out, weakening the resistance of the lotus platform. 

In an instant, Su Jingzhen successfully stored it in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Meanwhile, Huo Huang from Fire God Mountain had also ventured into a blazing volcano. 

Inside, the space was eerily similar to the one Su Jingzhen and his group had entered. In the middle, another half-lotus platform was silently floating.
