According to the information gathered earlier, there are indeed several places nearby suitable for Xiao Hei's cultivation, but the best option remains the Lava Lake in the Cloud Mist Swamp, although it is a bit far. Additionally, I have previously inquired about the situation in the Cloud Mist Swamp, and it is no longer a peaceful place; many people have come there seeking fortune. These individuals are all driven by the desire to get rich.
The Underground Lava has erupted, bringing forth some relatively rare items, and it has now become a permanent residence for treasure hunters. Another location is the Lava Sea, which stretches between the Lianyun Empire and the Shu Cang Empire. This is a narrow canyon filled with scorching lava. Although there are some passages in the Lava Sea that connect the two nations, they are not suitable for large armies to mobilize. It is precisely because of the Lava Sea that the only remaining routes between Shu Cang and Lian Yun are through Yinzhou and Wu Prefecture, which is why Shu Cang has chosen to attack Lian Yun from Yinzhou this time.
However, at present, the Jin Family father and son are away on an expedition to Wu Prefecture. Even if I wish to leave, I must bid farewell to my host in person as a matter of courtesy. More importantly, I still have many things to consult with Yin Qian. At the very least, I need to understand the specifics of the Lava Sea, which I can only learn from Yin Qian. Furthermore, after my departure this time, I will head to Shu Cang, and there are several matters that require Yin Qian's assistance.
After finishing the porridge that had been cooked, Mo Wen began to continue his cultivation. Currently, aside from breathing fire, Xiao Hei had not changed much; it was most crucial to enhance his own strength. The mist in his mind began to gather, and unlike last time, this time there were signs of thunder and lightning within the mist. Divine Rain began to fall upon his Sea of Consciousness as Divine Liquid continuously accumulated. What originally resembled a spring in size transformed into something resembling a lake. At this moment, Mo Wen sat cross-legged on the ground with a calm demeanor while a storm raged within his mind. The divine mist continued to coalesce into a dark Divine Cloud, and now the Divine Rain fell even more fiercely than before.
The storm in his mind lasted for nearly half a day before it finally ceased. The liquid level in his mind rose significantly and had formed a lake; however, it was still far from becoming an entire ocean. At this moment, Mo Wen finally understood what it meant to "sigh at the sight of a pit." His mind was now like a pit; he had no idea how much Divine Liquid would be needed to fill this pit with Divine Night and form a Divine Sea. He had originally thought that his divine power was strong enough; however, looking at the current situation made him realize that he still had much ground to cover.
Sitting by the stone table in the courtyard, another problem troubled him: his Divine Sea was currently like water without a source or trees without roots; it completely relied on consuming herbs or auxiliary materials beneficial for divine growth. This was clearly not a long-term solution. How could he ensure that his Divine Source would not run dry? This question not only troubled Mo Wen but also vexed most cultivators. The remaining small number of practitioners were recognized by society as heretics—they practiced Kung Fu that allowed them to absorb others' divine power for their own use; their Divine Source came from other people's divinity. Of course, other cultivators also sought to strengthen their divinity by absorbing Chimera cores, which is a method many practitioners currently employ. However, while this method is convenient, it carries significant risks; for instance, excessive absorption of Chi Jing can greatly affect the purity of one's divinity and may drive the absorber into madness.
