Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Lin Fan, Jin Buke, Jiang Shuiling, and Zhong Ling'er ran all the way. The mountain road under their feet was winding and rocky. The sky above their heads was dyed with the afterglow of the sunset, red like a burning flame. However, the beauty of the sky did not ease their inner anxiety. Chi Yan, the guardian of Chiyan Pass, was approaching step by step. If they were not careful, the four of them would be trapped here and fall into an irretrievable situation.

The valley gradually became narrower, and the scene ahead suddenly became unusual. A scorching breath rushed towards him, and Lin Fan frowned. The air ahead seemed to be distorted, and heat waves surged. There was a faint flicker of fire on the rock wall. He waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"There's something strange ahead," Lin Fan whispered, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Jin Buk drew out his sword, the blade flashing coldly in the sunset. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked forward. "Sure enough, something is wrong. This heat wave is abnormal, as if it is controlled by humans."

Lin Fan nodded and looked forward. Suddenly, a burst of flames rose up, completely blocking the road ahead like a sea of ​​fire.

"Chi Yan's method." Jiang Shuiling said coldly. She frowned slightly and gently clasped her hands together, trying to sense the power of the flame. "This is not an ordinary flame. It contains some mysterious magic power. It seems to be able to repair itself."

"Then we can't move forward?" Zhong Ling'er was a little anxious, and her fingers holding the staff trembled slightly. "If this goes on, we will be trapped here!"

"What are you panicking about!" Jin Buke suddenly took a step forward, his tone firm and disdainful, "What's the use of flames? I can cut them off with just one sword."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Buke swung his sword out, and the sword energy was everywhere. His swordsmanship was swift and sharp, and wherever the sword went, the flames were instantly cut in half, as if they were vulnerable to the sword energy.

"Let's go!" Jin Buke turned around and shouted to Lin Fan and the other two, his tone full of confidence.

Lin Fan did not act immediately, but narrowed his eyes and observed the changes in the flame. As Jin Buke moved forward, the flame that had been cut suddenly reignited in an instant, as if it had never been cut off.

"The fire has rekindled!" Zhong Ling'er exclaimed with surprise in her eyes.

"Sure enough." Lin Fan said calmly, his eyes flashing with deep thought, "This flame is not a simple obstacle, it seems to have some kind of self-repair power. If we don't break its source, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through at all."

Jin Buke retreated, his eyes became solemn. He swung the sword again, but no matter how he slashed, the flames always returned to their original state in the next moment.

"What should we do?" Jiang Shuiling looked at Lin Fan. Although her ice magic could temporarily suppress the flames, the speed at which the flames recovered was far beyond her expectations.

Lin Fan thought for a moment, his eyes swept across the source of the flames, and finally fell on Zhong Ling'er, "Ling'er, your strength is needed here."

Zhong Ling'er nodded. Although she was still a little nervous, this was not the first time she faced such a crisis. She raised the staff in her hand, and the blue crystal on the top of the staff flashed a soft light in the sun.

"Watch me!" Zhong Ling'er took a deep breath, then swung her staff violently, and the water magic power swept out like a tide. The vast water flow shuttled through the flames, quickly suppressing the flames in front. The collision of water and fire made a "hissing" sound, and water vapor spread, instantly covering the valley in a mist.

"It works!" Jin Buke was overjoyed. Seeing that the flames were controlled, he drew his sword and rushed forward again.

However, at this moment, Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed, "Be careful!"

Almost at the same moment, the flame seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly burst out with more ferocious power. The originally suppressed flame suddenly counterattacked in an instant, and the flames swept like a mad dragon, as if it had life, and rushed straight towards Zhong Ling'er.

"Ling'er!" Jiang Shuiling exclaimed and waved her hands quickly. An ice barrier appeared in front of Zhong Ling'er, but the power of the flame was so overbearing that it melted the ice in an instant.

At the critical moment, Lin Fan's figure had already blocked in front of Zhong Ling'er. He pushed out with one palm, and the surging true energy swept out, pushing the flames back a few steps.

Zhong Ling'er was breathing heavily, her face slightly pale, but her eyes were flashing with stubbornness and unwillingness. She raised her staff again, and the water spell burst out again. The water flow surrounded the surrounding flames like a storm.

"It's useless." Lin Fan looked at the gradually rekindled flames, his face becoming more solemn. He had already realized that these flames were not simple obstacles, they contained the will of Chi Yan, as if every flame had life, endless and endless.

"These flames seem to draw power from somewhere. If we don't cut off the source, I'm afraid we'll never be able to get through." Lin Fan said.

Jiang Shuiling pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "If the flame draws energy from the power of the red flame, then we have to find its core, perhaps a certain fire array."

"That's right," Lin Fan nodded in agreement, "We can't waste our energy in vain any longer. We have to find the root cause."

"Then how do we find it?" Jin Buke clenched his sword, looking a little impatient.

"Follow the direction of the flames. They keep reigniting, which means the source must be not far away." Lin Fan pointed in the direction of the flames, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

Everyone nodded, adjusted their state, and quickly moved forward into the depths of the flames.

As they passed through the flames, Zhong Ling'er continued to cast water spells to suppress the flames, Jiang Shuiling cast ice spells to create an ice wall for everyone to resist the high temperature, Jin Buke and Lin Fan were responsible for clearing the way and cutting off any possible threats. The four of them had a tacit understanding, like old friends who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, and their cooperation was seamless.

Finally, in the depths of the flames, an ancient stone formation appeared before them. In the center of the formation stood a huge red stone tablet, which was engraved with ancient runes and flickered with a faint flame.

"This is the source of the fire!" Zhong Ling'er shouted in surprise.

Lin Fan nodded calmly, "It looks like this is the fire formation set up by Chi Yan. If we break it, we can pass."

Jin Buke didn't waste any words. He swung his sword and was about to rush forward to break the formation, but was stopped by Lin Fan.

"Don't worry. Formations usually have self-protection mechanisms. Any rash actions will only put us in a more dangerous situation." Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Shuiling carefully examined the runes of the formation and nodded slightly, "Indeed, the runes of this fire formation are very complicated. If they are forcibly destroyed, it may cause the flames to backfire."

"Then what should we do?" Jin Buke asked with a frown.

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "Let me do it."

He took a step forward, raised the Qiankun Axe, and gathered his true energy. The axe blade shone brightly. Lin Fan took a deep breath, and the axe blade trembled with the fluctuation of his true energy. Then, he chopped at the stone tablet with the force of thunder.

"boom--"

The stone tablet shattered under Lin Fan's tremendous force, and the surrounding flames suddenly lost their power and began to go out rapidly, and the valley returned to its original tranquility.

"Success!" Zhong Ling'er jumped up excitedly.

However, Lin Fan's eyes were always fixed on the front, and he said in a low voice, "This is just the beginning, the real enemy is still ahead."
