Chapter 68: The Volcano Island Story

ended to be, her heart was bound to be fragile and sensitive."Oh." Zhao Ruocheng stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "My family seems to have a few houses near the Daoist Academy. Let me ask ar...Fate is always pushing everyone forward, whether you are wise or foolish, willing or not.

The life of being raised in the calamity circle has been going on for several days.

Of course it was embarrassing, and there was no avoiding the helplessness.

But time is the most resolute, whether you are ready or not, it leaves just the same.

Every day in the lair of the calamity, Jiang Wang practiced cultivation. When he wasn't cultivating, he was endlessly eating fire lotuses and breathing fire...

He was spraying so much he was about to spray blood.

The Sanmitu Zhenhuo was becoming increasingly pure, and the "Sānchā" also became more spirited. Its fur was shiny and smooth, looking delicious enough to stew — if it could be stewed.

"Sancha" is a nickname given by Jiang Wang to the Huodou King Beast because its tail splits into three forks.

The Disaster King Beast couldn't understand human speech anyway, so it accepted it without much care.

Of course, the roar that Wang Shou transformed into was specifically aimed at Jiang someone. Jiang Wang also remembered it very clearly...

Perhaps in the language system of misfortune, that sound could also mean the chef.

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

In a nutshell, the two parties have gotten to know each other so well that they even give each other nicknames.

Of course, it's still not considered friendship.

Because the Three-Forks had never relaxed their vigilance over Jiang Wang, the Doom Guards stationed around the magma lake had also never diminished.

In Jiang Wang's view, this was undoubtedly further evidence of Sānchǎ not liking to make friends...

This vicious dog must have had a miserable childhood, which is why he is so solitary and wary of the world. He can't accept the kindness of others.

Although providing Sanmitsu True Fire for the Three Forks had become a habit, Jiang Wang would always only be willing to spew fire after a life-or-death duel.

As the King of Calamity, Sancha naturally had moments of impatience, such as when he directly attacked Jiang Wang and nearly beat him to death.

> Jiang Wangze, after each time he suffered real damage, would not hesitate to actively suppress the divine seed of the First Inner Mansion, causing the Samādhi True Fire to weaken to a corresponding degree. He let Sānchā understand that if you hurt him, you wouldn't get high-quality true fire.

Only when he is allowed to fight freely and without serious injury can the highest level of Sanmei True Fire feast be served.

Over time, battle became a habit.

During the process of being domesticated by the three-pronged, he was also trying to "domesticate" the three-pronged... although he was the one being caged.

This gang of troublemakers is not easy to deal with.

This cognition was deeply engraved in Jiang Wang's heart.

He spent several days trying to feed the on-duty troublemaking lieutenants with just the right amount of firewalking magic. He finally managed to get somewhat acquainted with them.

As a man well-versed in history, Jiang Qingyang couldn't help but ponder deeply upon the heroic figures recounted in historical texts.

For example, let's have a tumultuous and revolutionary upheaval, toppling the tyrannical and shameless Calamity King Beast who revels in the three-fold true fire feast.

But don't talk about revolution, the moment he steps out of the lava lake, he will be met with roaring warnings and gnashing threats.

When showing filial piety, he shakes his head and wags his tail. When preventing an escape, he shows a cold and ruthless face.

This line of shameless cunning can only be said to be the subordinates of the Sancha Dai...

The path of the coup had been cut short, he was stuck at Lake Magma and had no way to contact anyone else.

Only through day after day of cultivation.

Sometimes Jiang Wang would think of Zuo Guangshu, and wonder what that kid and Qu Shunhua had explored to. He wondered if they had reached the Beiji Tiangui Mountain and obtained the Jiufeng Seal.

Sometimes, I wonder if everyone else's journey through the mountains and seas is already over

Isn't he still waiting for an opportunity in that den of evil

Such thinking is undoubtedly quite tormenting.

He had no doubt that he could achieve the realm of divine ascension within the lair of calamity. With powerful allies like Sancha accompanying him, he was steadily gaining control over his power in the outer layers and progressing towards the pinnacle of this realm.

But killing the Calamity King Beast after achieving divinity in the Myriad Mountains Realm is definitely the worst choice.

Jiang Wangning would rather self-harm and withdraw from the Shan Hai Realm, losing 30% of his divine soul origin, than choose this path.

If this were a world of illusion, then the step to achieving godhood would be meaningless, wasting countless accumulations.

If this were a real world, the consequences would be even more terrifying. To achieve divinity here is to sever one's path to true insight in this mortal realm.

Could Jiang Wang possibly set his sights on achieving immortality as his ultimate goal

Of course, suicide was not a path he would choose.

If one is outmatched in battle and dies, then so be it. Since one has luckily survived, one should never again entertain the thought of eroding their own divine essence.

He cultivated his way to this point, every ounce of strength a hard-earned accumulation of sweat and blood.

If he were to give up easily, wouldn't that negate every day and night spent on the journey Wouldn't that deny the struggles within each story, the self who fought so hard

Even if everyone else has really finished their journey to the Shan Hai realm and left this place.

He would also stay alone, waiting until an opportunity to break the deadlock appeared.

Even if he couldn't wait for that opportunity, he would still try to create it.

Although one cannot achieve a divine presence here, what if one reaches the limits of the outer courtyard realm within this space

Given the extreme power of the forces outside the tower, is it even possible for someone to escape with their life in the hands of San

Jiang Wang knew very clearly the gap between him and the disaster beast, but he still had unparalleled confidence in himself.

He knows he can do it.

So, amidst a sea of troubles, he remained silent in his practice every day.

Because he couldn't do anything else and wasn't bothered by anyone or anything here, he felt that his practice was more efficient.

Of course, the training of the three forks and those fiery lotus flowers were absolutely indispensable.

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

As for Lord Jiang, even in Qi state where he held a high position and enjoyed wealth, he had never consumed such refined fire-type medicinal herbs before.

Not only did it improve his control over the fire element force, but it also provided him with a significant boost to his mastery of the Samadhi True Fire.

It's a pity that the calamity flower only delivers one bloom each day.

The three-pronged thief also came to eat every day, leaving him with little divine fire to research. Otherwise, this Samadhi true fire should have made a qualitative breakthrough by now.

To speak of it, the lava lake that Three Forks used to confine him was no ordinary place.

Every day, soaking in this magma lake, his control over the fire element grows stronger. Each fire-based martial art becomes more and more natural to him.

He's currently messing around by setting off fireworks on the lake, burning down cities for fun. He's getting more and more elaborate and skillful with them, of course, and therefore even more powerful.

Even the fire-forged bone lotuses at the back of his spine seemed to be sublimating. After all, they were originally a symbol of fire and this place was abundant with fire essence; it was perfect for them.

There are times when things feel particularly unsettling and difficult. But in the midst of rigorous practice, these moments eventually pass.

"Aw!"

When Jiang Wang heard this strange sound, he knew that Sānchǎ was looking for him again.

This shout was calling his name.

“Three Forks!” He shouted the other’s name in response.

In a short time, the trident approached with elegant strides.

Jiang Wang didn't say a word, drew his sword, and charged forward.

In the face of the Calamity King, you still dare to be so proactive.

This posture is definitely the first hero of the Shan Hai Jing!

Of course, the ending won't change because of Jiang Wang's familiarity.

>

All sorts of magical techniques, sword skills, and divine powers were tried, but in the end, he was once again beaten and sprawled in the magma lake.

Jiang Wang's face was buried in the magma lake. After thinking about this battle for a moment, he confirmed that he had reached the limit of his current abilities before flipping over and looking at the majestic trident.

This guy was still strutting around with his chin held high, looking like he didn't even care, as if you were just tickling him.

It's also considered understanding Jiang Wang's habit. When he saw Jiang Wang turn over, he took a few steps forward, meaning—

"Where's the rice"

"You're such a bad dog."

Jiang Wang smiled brightly and scolded in the Qi state Linzi dialect, flicking out a ball of Samādhi True Fire with his finger. He treated it kindly and fed it, saying: "Eat up, you'll choke sooner or later."

This is a placeholder for content. Let me know if you'd like me to do something else with it!

The venerable King of Calamities roared twice in delight, swallowing the ball of true fire with relish.

If Jiang Wang could understand the language of calamity, he should know that Sanya was saying— “Stupid biped, play with grandpa, feed grandpa, and be so happy every day.”

It's a pity he doesn't understand, which is why he can be so happy.

Likewise, if Houdou could understand what Jiang Wang was saying, today's chef would probably become the main course.

As can be seen, sometimes isolation is the prerequisite for peaceful coexistence.

Watching the last ember disappear into the mouth of the trident.

Jiang Wang suddenly realized something—

His own crimson Samādhi True Fire had grown somewhat deeper in color. Though it didn't seem very noticeable at first glance, the temperature within it had indeed become much hotter.

Perhaps it's from using it too frequently recently, or maybe the effects of swallowing too many fire lotuses... perhaps both

The triforce was still gaping like a dog's mouth.

If his previous Taoist arts could match the top level of the same realm, it was because of the two top-grade Taoist arts that sat in charge. Now, in terms of the details of the Taoist arts, he has also caught up.

Little Captain Bing, with a satisfied smile, left after receiving his reward.

Now that someone is delivering food to these two-legged creatures, it's a sweet gig, and no one will give you the cold shoulder anymore.

At this moment, Lord Jiang was bare-chested, lazily soaking in the magma lake —

After discovering the benefits of bathing in the magma lake, he took off his Ruyi Xianyi and focused on soaking. Anyway, there were calamities everywhere, so he wasn't afraid of anyone seeing him. The Ruyi Xianyi insulated against heat, but it wasn't aesthetically pleasing.

His nape rested against a smooth, polished piece of volcanic rock. When he opened his eyes, all he saw was the clouds billowing across the sky.

The nest of the Calamity resided on a volcanic island in the sea, not a floating mountain.

So the tide sounds can sometimes also come naturally.

On such a mild day.

Enjoy the gentleness of the whole volcanic island.

The intense fire essence enveloped him.

>

He tore at the petals of the fire lotus, slowly sending them into his mouth and digesting the power of the medicine, all while carefully replaying the battle with the three-pronged weapon in his mind.

Clearly defined muscle lines, and a variety of scars, together paint a story-rich picture on this young man's body.

At this time, he didn't know...

We have a visitor.

When they saw the volcanic island from afar, both Xiang Bei and Tai Yin had a feeling of tears welling up in their eyes.

Heaven knows how much hardship they've endured on their arduous journey!

>>>After traveling for a while in the sky, a strange bird with a tumor on its head started chasing him. It was difficult to escape, and even Tsanshan Shuo almost got damaged.

To ensure the teleportation device could function at its destination, they had to stow it away and make the journey on foot.

Guided by the Seven Star Compass, they wandered east and west for nine days and nine nights before finally reaching this volcanic island.

“Are you sure this is the place” Xiangbei asked.

“Yes!” Tai-In nodded viciously.

Then the two dove into the water and summoned their tsūnshān shuō. They swam from the seabed toward the volcanic island.

They quietly parted the waters and slipped into the underbelly of the volcanic island — they naturally wouldn't dare to appear brazenly before disaster, planning all along to only operate beneath the volcanic island.

Unless the Nine Chapters Jade Bi is found, or some treasure on the volcanic island appears, they will not suddenly appear and steal it.

These days, Xiang Bei has been manipulating the teleportation formations. Tai Yin hasn't been idle either. Besides pointing the way, he has also set up several detection arrays to quickly capture the aura of the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet.

>

This island, with its vast and indescribable volcanic cluster,

To secretly explore every corner of the island would undoubtedly be a huge undertaking.

But this can't affect Xiangbei and Taigen's fighting spirit.

After losing the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet, they had already wasted nine days and nights. If they reached their destination with nothing to show for it, they could directly declare themselves out!

Therefore, they must have this volcanic island, and they will definitely succeed.

In the softly lit cabin, Tai Yin held a disc in each hand, pressing them against both sides of the bulkhead. With split-second focus, he felt for the aura of treasure on this volcanic island.

Xiangbei then moved to the bow of the boat, carefully maneuvering the dredging barge while observing the situation on Mount Dao through a single-lens monocular.

The observatory formation built into the Chariot of Mountains allows it to project the scenes within a certain radius onto this single-lensed mirror. This is a necessary design, otherwise, the shielding formation within the Chariot of Mountains would render its users deaf and blind.

Time passes bit by bit. At the bottom of the volcanic island, Chuan Shan diligently and patiently moves slowly.

After consuming four reconnaissance formations, Xiang Bei's eyes shifted from the monocular lens, and his expression turned strange.

"What did you find" Tai Yin asked.

Xiangbei pondered for a moment, then asked, "Would you mind seeing a man's naked body"

Tai Yin seemed clearly stunned: "Now"

"Now."

Tai Yin fell silent for a moment, trying his best to be tactful. "As a friend," he said, "I respect your hobbies, even if I don't understand them. But that's as far as it goes... Do you understand what I mean"

He said gravely: "And besides, this place is very dangerous."

Xiangbei stared blankly: "What are you talking about"

He immediately moved aside: "Forget it, forget it, you can take a look yourself."

Tai Yin walked towards the bow of the ship, half-believing and half-doubting. As he turned, his eyes never left Xiang Bei, not even daring to turn his back on him.
