Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Is magma alive?

Could this magma be some kind of living thing?

He Li was surprised to hear the evil messenger's words.

Only then did he realize why Feng Lizhui had called this magma a spiritual plant...

The reason for this is probably that magma is a special living thing, and it may also have some other characteristics similar to plants, which is why it is called a spiritual plant.

He Li couldn't help but ponder this.

The evil messenger continued, "You should also have noticed that the spiritual energy in this area is thin."

"But this is not due to regional reasons."

"The spiritual energy is thin because more than 80% of the spiritual energy that should have spread here was absorbed by the magma, so naturally there is very little spiritual energy here."

"And those lava toads..."

The evil messenger looked at the lava toads, the monstrous beasts that were emerging from the lava and looking out.

"The reason why these demonic beasts are willing to stay here and are able to cultivate smoothly here is not because they like to grow up in harsh environments."

"They didn't leave here..."

"It's also because the magma contains abundant spiritual energy, which allows them to cultivate and break through easily."

"And it's much safer here than anywhere else."

"They didn't need to leave at all."

Is this the truth here?

Sure enough, I should have known that in such a treacherous environment where spiritual energy is extremely scarce and resources are pitifully limited, it would be impossible for any demonic beast to want to stay here.

Unless there are monsters here that can gain far more than they would elsewhere.

Only in this way can they remain permanently.

And these lava toads, no matter how weak they are, should still follow this rule.

Ultimately... it was because He Li and the others knew too little about the things of this era that they failed to notice the problem; otherwise, they would have realized the abnormality of the magma and the lava toad long ago.

However, it's not too late to know now.

Anyway, the lava isn't going to just disappear.

The only question now is... what exactly is this living magma and how can we utilize it...?

How did Jiang Hongxian gain control of the flame?

After all, Jiang Hongxian's current body is just a mortal body, so she certainly wouldn't dare to or be able to touch the magma. If she rashly tries to touch it now, the result will inevitably be that she will be burned alive.

So, thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Since you said this magma is a living spiritual plant..."

"So how do we retrieve it?"

"Or rather, how can I use it?"

"And can a mortal body truly withstand the power of such a thing?"

"Yes!" the evil messenger nodded.

He then said with a smile, "This magma... I can only say it's not as simple as it looks. Touching it might indeed scald or burn you to death."

"But if you have enough confidence in yourself, or if you possess a strong enough level of understanding..."

"Or perhaps they possess sufficient willpower..."

"Then you won't get hurt. On the contrary, the benefits you'll gain aren't just in mastering the power of fire; you might also reap other unexpected benefits."

"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."

"This is the lava!"

The evil messenger did not explicitly state what the magma was or what secrets it held, but what he revealed was enough to tell everyone about the magma.

This thing is indeed a special existence with a spirit, similar to a spiritual plant, born between heaven and earth.

Only those with great fortune and perseverance...

Only then can one obtain the power of this magma.

Anyone else who touches it will die!

Faced with this situation, He Li, who had initially shown some interest, suddenly lost much of it.

Because he was clear about his own situation, his comprehension might be high enough compared to others, but when it came to fire and compared to Jiang Hongxian, he was simply no match.

Jiang Hong's comprehension of fire is truly top-notch and unmatched by anyone.

Furthermore, he already possessed inner fire, so he didn't need to compete with Jiang Hongxian for the flames within the magma.

Therefore, He Li decisively gave up.

He also looked at Jiang Hongxian: "Now it depends on whether you are willing to take the risk and try, although... I have enough confidence in your comprehension."

"But these things are still hard to say."

"You might really die here."

"However, I won't stop you. You have to bear the consequences of your own choice."

"I know!" Jiang Hongxian replied.

She was clearly hesitant as well.

The main problem is that she is not in her own body, so she has no way of knowing whether any unexpected things might happen when she tries it.

Therefore, she was conflicted, and the Underworld Envoy of Good and Evil seemed to see through Jiang Hongxian's inner turmoil.

That taciturn white messenger...

He then spoke, saying, "The gains you made in this magma will not dissipate with the departure of your soul and consciousness; that power will likely remain with you forever."

When he said this, He Li and the others weren't particularly surprised that their bodies and souls didn't match...

After all, the Netherworld Envoys had overheard their previous conversation, but they didn't ask any further questions.

But the Underworld's Good and Evil Envoys are not stupid.

They probably already guessed that He Li and Jiang Hongxian, including the two dragons, had a mismatch between their physical bodies and soul consciousness, which is why the white benefactor said those words at this moment.

His purpose was perhaps to dispel Jiang Hongxian's doubts and help him make a decision more quickly.

His words must be useful.

In Jiang Hongxian's view, if the power he gained at the risk of his life could not return with him to the future, then it would be meaningless.

The good messenger's words made her realize that things that seemed insignificant had become more valuable...

Her thoughts will naturally change.

Sure enough, shortly after the White Good Messenger finished speaking, Jiang Hongxian made a decision...

"I'll give it a try!"

She took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

As she spoke, she moved closer to the lava.

He Li squinted, pondering how to save her if something really went wrong. After all... Jiang Hongxian was the Heavenly Emperor chosen by the Heavenly Dao of the lower realm in later generations.

If she had truly died in this era, the impact on future generations would have been enormous.

However, this magma is strange...

Saving people would probably not be easy, so he focused his attention on the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil, who obviously noticed He Li's gaze and simply nodded.

It was obvious that they wouldn't let Jiang Hongxian die before bringing He Li and the others to see the Lord of the Underworld.

Seeing the Netherworld Envoy's response...

He Li was relieved.

After all, they are strong enough that rescuing Jiang Hongxian before she gets into trouble shouldn't be difficult.

And Jiang Hongxian... under the watchful eyes of He Li and the others, and with the incredulous gazes of the two dragons, reached the edge of the lava and leaped into the terrifying heat...

hum! ! !

In my imagination, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water or crashing to the ground did not come from the lava; only a faint humming sound came from it.

As the buzzing sound appeared, Jiang Hongxian's body, which was in contact with the magma, sank rapidly.

That speed was highly abnormal.

Because magma is very viscous, heavy objects falling into it will not sink as quickly as they would in water; instead, they will sink slowly, much like falling into a mud pit.

As for Jiang Hongxian... she sank almost instantly, as if dragged down by a mysterious force.

"This is?"

He Li frowned and looked at the Good and Evil Envoy upon seeing this.

The evil messenger calmly waved his hand: "It's alright."

"Her luck... no, I should say, her understanding of fire far exceeds your imagination; the power and will within this magma have absolutely no intention of harming her."

He was somewhat surprised when he said this.

But then he continued, "In fact... this magma is a product of the primordial light..."

"The primordial light?"

He Li's eyelids twitched slightly.

The evil messenger nodded: "Yes, it is a wondrous object formed after the first thing in the world to be illuminated by the sun melted... It is also an existence as blazing and intense as the sun."

"Theoretically speaking, this thing is comparable to the Great Sun Golden Crow, or even slightly stronger."

At this point, he looked at the crowd...

"You might be wondering why no powerful figure has taken such a rare treasure, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The evil messenger smiled upon seeing this.

"Heh, actually, it's not that I don't want to take it away."

"There's simply no way to take it away."

"This magma is alive. Although its intelligence is limited and cannot be compared with that of real living beings, it can melt everything in the world if it so desires."

"No matter how many spatial artifacts or top-tier secret techniques you use, you cannot contain it and take it away from here."

"If you make a hasty contact, even God will be ignited."

"So naturally, nobody cares!"

"But now..."

The evil messenger's gaze returned to the magma.

"This strange object seems to have found a target it's willing to acknowledge... or rather, willing to follow!"

"This is not something that can be achieved through luck."

"This is... destiny!"
