The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

"Let's not talk about that for now, you should first test if you can withstand the temperature down there!" Uncle Second waved his hand as he spoke.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to comply and walked forward slowly. He could feel the heat here was far beyond that of ordinary magma.

After a brief hesitation, he cautiously extended a finger towards the scorching magma.

Just a second before his finger touched the magma, a red glow emanated from the four-colored flower in the Nascent Soul's hand, quickly covering Zhou Qing's entire body.

As his finger touched the magma, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up and he showed a delighted expression.

It didn't feel particularly hot, at most lukewarm. Especially after mastering the "Flame Sun Dominating Body Skills" over the past six months, the magma now felt like soaking in a hot spring, truly amazing.

With his body enclosed by Spiritual Power to prevent his clothes from being burned, Zhou Qing plunged into the magma and started swimming like a fish in water.

He even performed a few strokes of the breaststroke effortlessly.

Seeing Zhou Qing moving so freely in the magma, Uncle Second finally let out a sigh of relief, his previously anxious heart calming down a bit.

After swimming around freely in the magma, Zhou Qing leaped out and landed steadily on the shore, shaking off the remaining bits of magma from his body.

Seeing this, Uncle Second said, "Besides the Crocodile King down there, there are many of its offspring, but most of them are in the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Realm."

"I suspect that the Crocodile King has been able to repeatedly break through its bloodline restrictions by continuously devouring its offspring."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing frowned slightly and couldn't help but feel a hint of worry. He asked, "What is the Crocodile King's strength?"

"Spirit Severing Realm!" Uncle Second answered calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief. He quickly looked up at Uncle Second.

"The Crocodile King is in the Spirit Severing Realm. Then you must be—"

Meeting Zhou Qing's shocked gaze, Uncle Second laughed heartily, patting his chest and said, "Scared you? Don't worry, with me here, you're safe."

It turned out he had guessed correctly, Spirit Severing Realm, there were only a few in the entire Holy Martial Dynasty, and Uncle Second had really reached it.

Genius, this is a true genius!

"Alright, here's the plan. After I lure out the Crocodile King, you'll sneak down and search carefully for me!"

After carefully instructing Zhou Qing on some details, Uncle Second rose into the air.

In his palm, a large seal appeared out of thin air, then descended with immense force.

In an instant, the endless sea of magma roared like a furious dragon, waves surged, explosions echoed, deafeningly loud.

"Little lizard, your uncle is back again, come out quickly and pay your respects!" Uncle Second laughed heartily, his voice echoing in all directions.

Roar!

The next moment, an enraged and violent roar erupted from the depths of the boiling magma.

Soon after, a giant crocodile with wings, an enormous body, shot out like an arrow from a bow, charging straight at Uncle Second.

Its body was covered in fiery red scales, each scale glowing with a blinding heat, and its large diamond-shaped eyes were filled with violent and bloodthirsty killing intent.

"Human, you dare provoke me time and again. Today will be your death day, you will not leave this place alive!"

The Crocodile King spoke in human tongue, its words radiating terrifying pressure, making Zhou Qing, who was hiding nearby, feel paralyzed and unable to move.

Is this the power of a Spirit Severing Realm expert? How terrifying!

Uncle Second, however, was unfazed, laughing aloud, and swiftly pulling back, widening the distance between him and the Crocodile King.

"Little lizard, you've said this many times before, but when have you ever truly managed to keep me here? Stop struggling pointlessly and just become my mount, won't it be great?" Uncle Second teased with a smile.

Such words only served to infuriate the Crocodile King further, who relentlessly spewed streams of fiery breath from its mouth. Its wings flapped mightily, and in an instant, it appeared above Uncle Second, its massive tail crashing down with tremendous force.

Uncle Second did not back down, meeting the fierce attack head-on…

At this moment, on the surface of the magma, countless Flame Fire Crocodiles revealed themselves, each one raising their heads and roaring for their king.

"Am I really crazy?" Zhou Qing looked at the countless crocodile heads, then at the majestic Spirit Severing Realm Crocodile King in the air, muttering to himself as he cautiously sank into the magma.

The hot magma's currents surged, with occasional fierce currents erupting from the depths, likely from Flame Fire Crocodiles rushing to join the fray.

Zhou Qing carefully avoided them, continuing to dive deeper.

"The temperature is continuously rising!"

As he kept diving towards the seemingly endless bottom of the magma, Zhou Qing was astonished to find the external temperature rising sharply.

Initially, it felt like soaking in a hot spring, but now it was becoming slightly scalding.

"This is bad, why is it different from the plan?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel nervous.
