42 Chapter 42 – Fire Profound Void Frui
He walked in the tunnel for a while and realised the tunnel is going up now.
He stopped and thought if he is moving towards the exit on the other side instead of going towards the nest of Gold Fire Swift Sparrow. But, he didn't find any other tunnel on the way so he decided to proceed to see what is at the end of the tunnel for the time being. If he didn't find any place within an hour of entering, he decided to leave and come search the next day.
After walking twenty more minutes, he reached a wide cavern size of half football field and saw there was light at the centre of the cavern coming from above, where there was a withering red and grey coloured tree in a small land in the centre of a magma pool. He looked up and found there is a mist covering above the cavern and couldn't see what is above the cavern, but light permeated and fell only at the top of the tree and it gave a sagely feel to the dying tree.
Zhu Xuan walked close to the magma and observed it. He circled the lava area to look at all sides of the tree and felt it looked familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
He found a single red coloured fruit the size of a chicken egg after observing the tree carefully and he stood in shock like he was struck by lightning when he saw it.
He exclaimed loudly "It's a Fire Profound Fruit."
He laughed out loud in excitement and happiness. He didn't expect to find such a rare treasure when he was just trying to find the demon cores from Gold Fire Swift sparrow's nest.
In this world, there are certain profound fruits that are grown from the pure elemental source. These profound fruits contain elemental law inside them and cultivators who consume them will be able to understand the law of the elements. They are incredibly rare and difficult to find in this world.
He looked at the tree and sighed "It's amazing that I could find a Fire Profound fruit here, but it is also sad that the tree is already dying and can't produce any more fruits. I have heard the trees that give birth to these rare fruits don't die, and I don't understand why it is withering now."
He realised things are not as simple as it seems and there must be a reason the tree is withering.
He calmed down and remembered that he didn't have much time before he needs to leave if he didn't want to confront the Gold Fire Swift sparrow. He wanted to collect the fruit, but the tree is in middle of the lava pool. Even if he tries with his full power, he can only jump half the distance and fall into the lava pool.
He looked around to see if there is anything that he can use to cross the lava pool. He found something in the edge of the cavern which made him curse out loud.
"Damn that shitty bird. No wonder there were only low level fire elemental stones in the other lava pool. It took everything here." He scolded the Gold Fire Swift sparrow when he saw its nest.
He saw all types of fire elemental stones in a mound and in the centre is a big high grade elemental stone which the Gold Fire Swift sparrow used as its nest. He also found the few fire demon cores and some rare fire and lightning elemental herbs in the nest. He walked up to it and checked them thoroughly when an idea came to his mind.
He put everything inside his spatial ring except the big high grade fire elemental stone that made the Gold Fire Swift sparrow's nest. He walked up to the edge of lava pool while planning to use the big elemental stone as a springboard to reach and get back from the Fire Profound fruit.
Since it is a fire elemental stone, it will take around thirty seconds for it to go under the lava after he threw the elemental stone into the lava. It will be hard to get the fruit and get back in that short time.
He suddenly had an idea, he calculated in his mind "If I take it out of the spatial ring right before I hit the lava pool and use it as a spring board I will have enough time to get the Fire Profound fruit and return back before the elemental stone go under the lava. It's sad that I have to use such a big high grade fire elemental stone and lose it in the process, but the Fire Profound fruit is more important."
He put the high grade fire elemental stone inside the spatial ring and jumped using all his force. When he was less than ten meters away from touching lava pool, he took out the high grade fire elemental stone from his spatial ring and threw it in the lava pool and used it as a springboard to jump again. With that jump, he landed on the small land area in the centre of the lava pool.
The land was too hot and started burning his shoes, but he didn't care about that and rushed up the tree and plucked the fruit; he put the Fire Profound fruit inside his spatial ring without a second thought. He turned around, ran and jumped out. He again used the high grade elemental stone as a springboard, and it went under the lava just a few seconds after he jumped off of it. He safely landed on the outside of the lava pool.
"That was close, if I had been a little slower even my bones would have melted within seconds." Exclaimed Zhu Xuan as he relaxed his body.
He looked back at the withering tree one last time and started to run towards the tunnel. It's already more than an hour since he entered the tunnel from the mountain wall and if he doesn't leave the tunnel and run far away from the tunnel entrance before the Gold Fire Swift sparrow came back, being in a dangerous situation could be considered as a small issue.
He was sure when the Gold Fire Swift sparrow finds all its treasures missing including the fire Profound fruit, it will flip out and shred anyone whoever it come across to pieces.
He came out of the tunnel after about thirty minutes and started running towards the cave he stayed for the past few days. When he was few miles away from the mountain wall, he heard a loud shriek and realised the Gold Fire Swift sparrow returned and found that someone has stolen all its treasures.
He increased his speed and finally reached the cave after two hours. He immediately entered the cave and closed it off using his earth element Qi, only leaving some inconspicuous small holes for air.
He decided to stay in here for a while since he was sure the Gold Fire Swift sparrow would have realised it is a human cultivator who stole its treasures and will be searching for a human in the valley. So, it's better to stay in the cave until the Gold Fire Swift sparrow vents its anger and calm down.
Moreover, the reason he wanted to leave the valley and travel was to find a chance to understand his other elements. Now that he has got the fire demon beast cores, he can use them to breakthrough to completion realm in his fire element technique. Moreover reaching perfection in fire elemental technique is easy for him, since he is the one who created various utilisation for the technique unlike other techniques where he to follow the technique scrolls.
He wasn't planning to use the Fire Profound fruit for his cultivation of elements currently. It will be a waste if he used it now and its best if he used once he entered the Qi Gathering stage.
While he was thinking, he injected his Qi into the spatial ring to get the Fire Profound fruit. He didn't have a chance to check when he got his hands on it and put it away since he was rushing at that time. Now that he has settled in the cave, he observed and found the fruit is fiery red with flaming patterns on them. He has seen the drawings of it in books, but looking at it directly is completely different and he was intrigued by how these patterns formed on a fruit.
He injected his Fire Qi into the fruit and his Qi was blocked for few moments by the outer layer of the fruit before it entered smoothly to the inside of the fruit.
He spoke to himself with slight disappointment "Oh it's actually a Fire Profound Void Fruit."
He stopped and thought if he is moving towards the exit on the other side instead of going towards the nest of Gold Fire Swift Sparrow. But, he didn't find any other tunnel on the way so he decided to proceed to see what is at the end of the tunnel for the time being.
