He had succeeded in entering Flame Mountain, successfully retrieved the treasure, and was about to become a key figure in the Buddhist Sect; how could the outcome be like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was on the verge of death, he thought he saw a human figure emerging within the distant flames, making the monk open his eyes wide, dying full of reluctance and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, just outside Flame Mountain, Tieshan Princess gazed at the sudden change within and a hint of a smile appeared on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess, what is this?\" Qing Mei asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems like Fellow Taoist Lin Fang is about to succeed. This is the ultimate test of the treasure,\" Tieshan Princess said with a smile, her words betraying a high regard for Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful gust carrying scorching air swept over them, forcing even Tieshan Princess and her companion to retreat several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can he make it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing such fearful flames, Qing Mei was filled with doubt; after all, if it was this searing here, one could only imagine the temperature at the heart of Flame Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Tieshan Princess replied, \"The appearance of this scenario shows that he’s not far from success. Very well, I shall lend him a hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she took out the Banana Fan and started to fan towards Flame Mountain. A massive wave of wind instantly swept across Flame Mountain, and clouds began to gather, though the speed and scale this time were far less than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lin Fang stared at the Samadhi True Fire soaring into the sky, his face showing no trace of fear; on the contrary, his expression was excited, and his eyes were filled with a fiery intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Glazed Pagoda hung above his head, casting down its light, shielding his body. Endless flames were absorbed by the pagoda the moment they neared him, allowing him to confront the Magical Treasure in the pit with composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, a brick, square and even, inscribed with mysterious Runes, rose slowly from the deep pit. The surrounding flames seemed to embrace it, as though they were paying homage to an emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here it comes!\" exclaimed the Spirit of Flame, observing the scene before it in awe. This object was the instigator, the one that brought it death, and yet also granted it new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With complex emotions, it watched as Lin Fang firmly grasped the Fire Brick in his hand, knowing that the most critical test was about to come. If he withstood the power of the treasure, his surname would be Lin; if not, Lin Fang would turn to ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surging Samadhi True Fire instantly enveloped Lin Fang, the fierce inferno beginning to burn his soul, scorching his Vital Essence, Qi, and Spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Fang stood firm. He had already learned the Samadhi True Fire, and had undergone Ascetic Cultivation in Flame Mountain for quite some time. Although the flames were violent and terrifying, the idea that they could harm him was pure fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang’s actions seemed to have enraged the burning flames, and more of the Samadhi True Fire spouted from the bricks, transforming into a fearsome fire dragon that sought to devour its victims.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang grabbed the fire dragon’s head with one hand, completely ignoring the pain that surged through his body, having grown accustomed to this kind of torture over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon of flames struggled in his grip to no avail, as if there was a terrifying force in Lin Fang’s hand, holding it firmly in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but as Lin Fang grasped the dragon of flames, the power of his Primordial Spirit surged forth, beginning to aggressively vie for control of the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive dragon seemed to sense fear, its flames seemingly being slowly siphoned away by Lin Fang, and thus it began to struggle frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames of the entire Flame Mountain started to sway wildly in response, and the surrounding spirits of flame suddenly felt an urge to attack Lin Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just accept your fate!\" Lin Fang bellowed, his mind connecting with heaven and earth, and just at that moment, the sky darkened with dense clouds, and a torrential downpour weakened the fire of Flame Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The momentum of the fire dragon faltered due to the rain, and Lin Fang did not miss this excellent opportunity. His Primordial Spirit left his body, pointed at the top of the dragon’s head, and instantly took control of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the fire dragon calmed down, gradually shrinking and eventually burrowing into the fire brick, causing the flames of the entire Flame Mountain to weaken as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of a smile appeared on Lin Fang’s face as he gently caressed the fire brick in his hand. The glowing red brick was engraved with complex and mysterious runes that flashed by momentarily. Having studied The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s Path of Artifact Refining, Lin Fang could vaguely discern that these runes represented the rules of flame, yet they were far more intricate than those he had learned, and they seemed to only be part of a formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Worthy of being something from the Alchemy Furnace of the Elderly Lord,\" Lin Fang remarked in admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed somewhat ugly and even unworthy of appearance, this thing was unquestionably the result of the Elderly Lord’s great efforts in its creation. After all, it was the furnace he used for alchemy; how could he keep any secrets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After placing the fire brick within the Pagoda, enshrined on the third level, the entire Pagoda immediately overflowed with golden light, seemingly containing tremendous fiery energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang turned to the old man, the spirit of the Flame Mountain, and said, \"I’ve taken this treasure, and now Flame Mountain has become a source without water. I fear it won’t be long before you all die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder sighed, \"All things in heaven and earth have their own paths of life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long known this day would arrive, so he faced it calmly; but the spirits of flame behind him did not think the same, for life is precious and no one wishes to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By taking away the treasure, you’re also taking our lives with it. If you don’t give us an explanation today, don’t even think about leaving Flame Mountain,\" a monster-like spirit of flame shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite these words, none of the surrounding spirits of flame stepped forward to fight, having witnessed Lin Fang’s previous struggle. They were well aware that their own attempts would only lead to their demise, and now, without the fire brick as a supplement, every death would bring them closer to their final end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Fang merely laughed, saying, \"There is not an absence of a solution, it depends on whether you are willing or not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they turned their gazes upon Lin Fang, eager to hear what he would say next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang pointed to his Pagoda and said, \"Inside my Pagoda, there is a vast space. If you don’t mind, you can all move into this space. The fire brick will be enshrined there, replenishing your flames every few days, and you can rebuild your Flame Mountain within.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","f25d6aa547bd9d1963d32182634a260b37569fbdb180701bfea50dbefb9b4312","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-132","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-130",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
