Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

The illusory flames burned slowly, and the treasures in the hall behind them were captivating.

Lu Zaian's attention, however, was drawn to the ice-type array patterns on the wall.

The appearance of ice-type array patterns within a second-tier fire array is noteworthy in itself.

The first volume of "True Explanation of Talisman Arrays" states that the more powerful the array, the more complex its array patterns.

The presence of array patterns with different attributes within the same array, interacting with each other in a mutually reinforcing or restraining manner, is highly likely to indicate the location of the key array gate.

Ice and fire are mutually restraining.

Therefore, these ice-type array patterns play a crucial role in the fire array, and are very likely the array gate.

Lu Zaian couldn't break the complete second-order flame formation, so how could he get through?

If we compare this flame barrier to a gate, then the ice array patterns should be the key.

Or even if you can't open the whole door, you can at least make a small opening in it...

With this in mind, Lu sorted out the patterns on the array and successfully found three ice-type array patterns in different locations.

Lu Zaian tried to infuse his magic power into one of the ice-type array patterns.

Kaka...

The eerie blue snowflake markers appeared abruptly above the raging flame barrier, like ghosts.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, as if time had been frozen.

The flames that were originally burning now appeared even more illusory.

"it works!"

Lu Zaian's eyes lit up with joy, and he prepared to do the same for the other two ice-type array patterns.

However, as soon as he let go, the ice-type array pattern in front of him instantly dimmed.

"...If the magic power is insufficient, should three be infused simultaneously?"

"Come quick and lend a hand! See those two patterns? Infuse your magic into them!"

Lu Zaian shouted, pointing out the two ice-type array patterns.

"coming!"

"Oh well!"

The fire-elemental old man and the plump female cultivator didn't dare to delay and quickly stepped forward to help.

Only Zhu You was left to stand behind the others, facing countless pursuers!

Buzz! ! !

The two-winged venomous centipede behind them flapped its wings frantically and caught up in the blink of an eye, but dared not get close for a moment.

The barrier of flames ahead instilled in them an instinctive fear.

Hiss! !

The four-winged venomous centipede emitted a sharp hiss, urging its minions to attack!

With the combined efforts of Lu Zaian and the other two, the temperature of the flame barrier dropped sharply, and a thin layer of frost slowly formed in the inner flame area.

The two-winged, venomous centipedes immediately hissed, feeling that they were back to normal!

"Damn it! Opening the door has given these centipedes an opportunity! Senior Brother Zhu, it's up to you now!"

Lu Zaian's expression hardened. Right now, all their attention was focused on the three ice-type array patterns, and only Zhu Youzhi was able to move freely.

"Leave it to me."

Zhu Youzhi's eyes were sharp as he stared intently ahead. He crossed his hands, made a sweeping motion, and then quickly spread them out in front of him.

Two cyan wooden rings materialized in his palms, spinning wildly at an astonishing speed.

Blue sparks flew, and a raging blue flame suddenly rose up!

"go with!"

The Azure Flame Wooden Ring sped forward like a fire dragon.

Dozens of winged, venomous centipedes along the way were unable to dodge in time and were instantly devoured by the azure flames, turning into ashes!

Whoohoo! !

However, at that moment, the four-winged venomous centipede behind them suddenly flew forward and spat out a mouthful of eerie blue venomous mist!

Zhu Youzhi's pupils contracted slightly; it was too late to manipulate the Azure Flame Wooden Ring.

They could only watch helplessly as the Azure Flame Wood Ring flew straight into the dark blue poisonous mist, emitting a series of ear-piercing hissing corrosion sounds.

In an instant, a block of ice, frozen solid, fell to the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the ice block contained a wooden ring whose spiritual essence had been eroded.

"Damn it, my Wood Fire Ring."

Zhu Youzhi muttered a curse, her voice filled with heartache and reluctance.

This first-tier mid-grade magic weapon had been with him the longest and was the weapon he was most comfortable using, but now it was destroyed.

The four-winged, venomous centipede let out a triumphant hiss, pushed aside its kind blocking its way, and charged towards Zhu Youzhi with its densely packed thousand legs.

Just as the humans ahead were about to break through the barrier, the area behind them lay a terrifying place from its inherited memories...

Therefore, we must never let the delicious food we're about to eat slip away!

Hiss! ! !

Boss is awesome!

The two-winged venomous centipedes that had been pushed aside were no longer in a hurry to attack; instead, they hissed and cheered for the four-winged venomous centipedes.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore? Come on, let me see what you've got!"

Zhu Youzhi looked at the ferocious, charging four-winged, venomous centipede, his eyes showing no fear.

A jet-black wooden nail, about half a foot long, slipped silently from his sleeve. Wisps of blue electricity, like serpents, danced on the nail's surface, producing a soft crackling sound. The energy it contained was chilling.

Just as he was about to make a move, Lu Zaian's loud shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Senior Brother Zhu, let's go quickly!"

Zhu Youzhi turned his head and saw that a gap in the ice had been completely opened in the center of the flame barrier behind him!

Lu Zaian held a second-tier talisman in his hand and was the first to go inside.

"go!"

The fire-elemental old man and the voluptuous female cultivator also quickly squeezed in.

Zhu Youzhi's face lit up with joy. He withdrew the black wooden nail and looked at the four-winged, venomous centipede that was about to fly up.

"You're getting an advantage!"

Having said that, he flashed into the gap.

Hiss! ! !

The four-winged venomous centipede let out an angry hiss, having lost its mind. Its four wings flapped faster, as if it wanted to squeeze into the gap.

However, without the infusion of magic power from Lu Zaian and the other two, the ice-type array patterns on the formation dimmed in the blink of an eye.

The central gap instantly returned to its original state, and a raging curtain of flames rose up!

Even the green robe behind Zhu Youzhi was burned off in part.

The four-winged, venomous centipede's head had just burrowed in when it was severed by the rising flames!

Hiss! ! !

Blue blood gushed out, and the four-winged, venomous centipede's ferocious head crashed to the ground, struggling wildly in despair!

"Ahhh!!"

The plump female cultivator was quite frightened. Her body trembled, and she suddenly grabbed Lu Zaian's arm.

"What are you doing?! Too soft... no, too reckless!"

The warm and soft touch made Lu Zaian's heart flutter, and he quickly escaped from the crowded breasts.

"I'm scared."

Whether the voluptuous female cultivator was genuine or just putting on an act to appear pitiful, she resembled a mature, alluring, and juicy peach, making one want to take a bite.

In fact, the successive deaths of the middle-aged cultivator and the old man with the wood element in the team filled the plump female cultivator with confusion and fear about this trip to the secret realm.

She was determined to hold on tightly to Lu Zaian and never let go.

She was quite confident in her looks.

So what if Lu Zaian is an old man?

No man is immune to lust as long as he is alive.

"Alright, this hall should be safe for now. Let's make some repairs."

Zhu Youzhi glanced at Lu Zaian with a smile; some things between men can be conveyed with just a look.

However, Lu Zaian rolled his eyes speechlessly. If he, as an immortal, were in a completely safe situation outside, he might be able to get into this interest.

But now, all he wants is to live a peaceful life and get out of here.

Immediately, Lu Zaian swallowed the pill to restore his magical power, while looking around at the layout of the hall.
