Black and white smoke billowed around the palace, and hot lava flowed slowly at the bottom of the palace.

The palace with red bricks and golden pillars was towering and tall, like an ancient giant lying in the hot lava river.

In the deepest part of the main hall, on the high-backed throne, there was a small dragon coiled.

This little dragon was orange red in color, as if it was condensed from lava. Golden light circulated within its body, and it was unusually handsome.

It had a dragon head, tail, and four dragon claws, but its upper body was a turtle. Its shell surface was covered with rugged reddish-brown rock blocks. The stones are spaced apart and the gaps are vertical and horizontal, outlining the well pattern.

It was the palace spirit of the Lava Immortal Palace-Dragon Yuan Fire Spirit!

At this moment, Long Yuan, who was resting, slowly opened his eyes.

It looked up at the top of the palace.

The Lava Immortal Palace trembled slightly, helping it to see through the roof of the hall and through the layers of clouds. Finally, it saw a vague figure.

It was the City Lord of Fire Persimmon Immortal City!

In order to prevent the City Lord from noticing, Long Yuan Fire Spirit didn't look closely. He immediately turned around and started to look downwards.

Its vision was extremely fast and quickly covered the entire Fire Peristle Immortal City. It only stopped when it reached the thick and hot Fire Peristle Forest at the foot of the mountain.

Long Yuan's golden pupils sparkled in his red eyes.

It intensified inspections. In its field of vision, the mountain city, trees, residents, and other physical objects gradually faded, revealing a grand array.

The array had two eye arrays. One was a giant eye array located in the mountain, and the other was a small eye array located in the City Lord's Mansion. There were also five array pillars, located in the residences of the Zhou, Zheng, and Ning families, as well as in the dungeon and the city guard camp.

The formation was huge, covering almost the entire Fire Peristle Mountain. At the same time, it was connected to a large number of small formations in the Fire Peristle Forest at the foot of the mountain.

The base of the formation was inserted from the top of Mount Huoshi, deep into the mountain.

The green array patterns of the Immortal City Grand Array intertwined like a giant net that covered the entire Fire Peristle Mountain. Asgard is like a caged bird.

Dragon Yuan's Fire Spirit snorted. This feeling of being restrained made it very irritated.

Its front paws exerted force and it stood up. Suddenly, it jumped up.

It has no wings, but it flies fast and nimble. It was extremely fast, shuttling through the air like an orange-gold stream of light.

The flowing light drew a brilliant circle in the air and landed back on the chair.

In an instant, the Dragon Yuan Fire Spirit turned quiet. Sparks fell on the chair and flew around in the dark palace.

Dragon Yuan's fire spirit vented its frustration and continued to raise its dragon head slightly, looking at the outside world.

Its gaze first focused on the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, in the mansion, a burly youth with big eyes was sitting cross-legged, actively circulating his cultivation.

What was different from usual was that the burly youth wasn't accumulating mana, but dispersing his power.

He was Meng Chong, the grandson of the City Lord!

The City Lord's voice transmission seemed to still echo in Meng Chong's ears.

"Meng Chong, my grandson, I have already used the Chance Seal to drag the aura of the Lava Immortal Palace onto you! He lit up the divine divination incense and calculated the best steps."

"Remember, you need to be the first to cultivate the Five Elements Qi Law Art to reach the third qi layer. This is crucial and gives you a huge first mover advantage. This step is half the battle. The advantages snowball and you gradually lose out on your competitors."

"Unfortunately, the Five Elements Qi Law Art is a Dao Cultivation art. If it's a Buddhist cultivation technique, grandpa's edification pill can be used for you."

"Now, you need to disperse your cultivation as soon as possible and cultivate the Five Elements Qi Law Art!"

" Someone will send you enough Meridian Nourishing Body Protection Powder. You don't have to be stingy. Take all of them and use the fastest speed to achieve perfect dispersion!"

Meng Chong let out a breath of turbid air, his eyes filled with determination.

The Chance Seal and the Divine Machine Delicious Divination Incense were Nascent Soul treasures worth tens of thousands. With such a huge investment, Huo Shi City Lord placed the burden of seizing the Lava Immortal Palace directly on Meng Chong's shoulders.

Meng Chong's heart was filled with fighting spirit!

"Grandfather, you have done so much for me. If grandson still fails, my surname Meng will be wasted!"

"I won't let you down."

"I will definitely win this first place!"

Meng Chong's face was filled with determination. He closed his eyes and continued to disperse his cultivation.

It was just that his cultivation level was too high, reaching the ninth qi layer. Dissipating the energy now would take even more time.

Long Yuan's fire spirit slowly shifted its gaze from the City Lord's Mansion to Zhou Clan's territory.

In an underground secret chamber of the Zhou family.

Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu stood in front of a large formation.

Zhou Zeshen said," This Gathering and Dispersing Wishful Tide Spirit Formation is located in Huoshi Immortal City. Only our Zhou family has it."

"Dazhu, next, you have to enter this formation to disperse your cultivation. After that, choose the Five Elements Qi Law Art to cultivate."

" This formation can help you disperse your cultivation faster. It can also help you cultivate as soon as possible."

"Please!"

The Zhou family had a deep foundation and was ranked first among the three great families. There is no dispute about that.

In order to plot against the Lava Immortal Palace, the Zhou family had tried many ways a long time ago.

Among them, Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu were arranged to join Mud Flow Sect for cultivation.

Mud Flow Sect was a rare sect that specialized in mechanism techniques. Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu returned to the family for standby after they had achieved some success.

He did not expect the Dharma Transmission Bell to arrive.

This forces them to choose.

After careful consideration, the Zhou family decided to keep Zhou Zeshen and let Zhou Zhu take the risk to cultivate the Five Elements Qi Law Art.

Zhou Zhu had no objections to this. He said in a muffled voice," Brother Shen, you're smarter than me. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"There's no need to feel guilty about me. It's only natural for me to contribute to the family!"

Zhou Zhu took a step forward and officially entered the array.

He didn't sit down cross-legged. Instead, he stood upright like a tall pillar, steady and simple.

It's starting to dissipate.

Zhou Zeshen sighed and felt sorry for Zhou Zhu.

Zhou Zhu was at the eighth qi layer, which was one level higher than him. It was a huge loss to dissipate Xin Xin's magic power that she had been cultivating for many years.

But there was nothing he could do!

The Five Elements Qi Law Art was probably the key to fighting for the Lava Immortal Palace.

This was the first time the bell had rung, and it had caused such a huge commotion. This was all showing that the selection method of the Lava Celestial Palace had undergone a major change after reaching the Refinement Stage!

In order to cope with possible changes, the Zhou family chose to be conservative and also made positive attempts.

The formation began to buzz, and Zhou Zhu's face revealed a painful expression.

The invisible force produced by the formation forcefully extracted the magic power from Zhou Zhu's body. This inevitably caused damage to Zhou Zhu!

However, Zhou Zhu was a vitality recuperator. As long as he remained motionless, his body would burst with vitality, allowing his injuries to recover at full speed.

The array was helping him disperse his cultivation force violently, and Zhou Zhu's self-healing ability was also activated, actively healing his meridians.

This was the key factor in choosing Zhou Zhu to rebuild.
