The Zhu family arrived in Nameless Town because Zhu Xiaohong's mother had contracted a Strange Illness, which required Fire Lotus as an essential ingredient for the medicinal pills needed for her treatment. Fire Lotus was a rare resource found only in the Lava Sea, making it a true specialty of the region. They initially thought they would be able to resolve the issue quickly, but upon reaching Nameless Town, they learned that the last appearance of Fire Lotus had been over a hundred years ago. Elder Zhu was unable to enter the Lava Sea due to restrictions related to his Realm, so he had resorted to offering rewards for adventurers who could help find it. However, over the years, no one had returned from the Lava Sea with Fire Lotus, and the markers on maps were based solely on explorers' descriptions. As time dragged on, Zhu Xiaohong's mother's condition worsened. Several years ago, her father had no choice but to seal her mother’s illness, but this only delayed its progression. The last person her father entrusted four years ago had entered the Lava Sea and never returned. With her mother’s time running out, Zhu Xiaohong felt compelled to sneak into the Lava Sea to search for Fire Lotus. Unbeknownst to her, the person her father had once entrusted stood right before her.
Zhu Xiaohong's venture into the Lava Sea was not solely for her mother's treatment; she also sought to advance her own cultivation. To progress beyond the Ning Shen Realm, one must enhance their understanding of Law. This process could be undertaken early or after achieving completion in the Ning Shen Realm, but grasping Law requires considerable time. To shorten this learning period, various methods have been developed, including refining and absorbing natural treasures rich in Law of Power—Fire Lotus being one such material that would undoubtedly attract attention if found. Mo Wen understood that only in a place like the Lava Sea would he have a chance to obtain such treasures; outside, his abilities were insufficient even for mere observation.
Using auxiliary materials to promote understanding of Law can indeed help cultivators meet advancement requirements in a short time; however, it lacks the solid foundation gained through gradual comprehension. This is why many cultivators are cautious when making choices about auxiliary materials. Even when opting for such aids, different Laws require different materials; purer materials yield better results. If conditions are not ideal, one must settle for lesser options. Most cultivators choose crystal stones as auxiliary materials; if conditions are further limited, they must resort to slow comprehension.
The Yin Yang Principle is an Origin Law that transcends the Five Elements Principle. For Mo Wen, there was only one option for understanding—perseverance. It is no wonder Old Qilin remarked that this path would be difficult; the time spent on cultivation alone would likely exceed that of others by several times.
As for what comes after reaching Ning Shen Realm, if his understanding is sufficient, resources for the next Realm would not pose a problem for Mo Wen. His greatest resource was the Xuan Tian Formation manual he possessed. To master the Xuan Tian Formation required him to comprehend the Xuan Tian Manual to a certain level, which necessitated completely abandoning his current cultivation—a notion that seemed hard to accept. "Sigh, I’ll focus on completing Ning Shen first," Mo Wen thought to himself with a sigh. The Xuan Tian Formation was something even Old Lu and others admired; he certainly wished to utilize it. If he could achieve mastery of Xuan Tian Formation in Fu Jing, his combat power would undoubtedly increase significantly. However, the idea of abandoning his cultivation still required careful consideration.
