Green Lotus Core Flame 

In the Sky Serpent Mansion, within a spacious and bright hall.

At the top of the hall sat a massive golden throne, with two enormous snake heads at either end. The eyes of the snake heads were adorned with two emerald-green gemstones, giving them an extraordinary beauty.

On the golden throne reclined an elderly man with white hair, his eyes slightly closed. He wore a green robe adorned with several interwoven snake patterns that looked lifelike, giving him an ethereal and wise aura.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes abruptly, and a frightening gleam flashed through his gaze. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Come here!"

As his words fell, a shadowy figure appeared mysteriously in the center of the hall.

"Great Elder!" The figure knelt on one knee, respectfully addressing the old man.

"Go call Bai Ya and Lu Man!" the elder said calmly.

"Yes!" The shadowy figure responded respectfully and disappeared from the hall as mysteriously as it had appeared.

Watching the figure vanish, the elder's cloudy eyes sparkled with a strange light as he murmured, "In the Tager Desert? This time, I've finally pinpointed her exact location. The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils have reappeared. Our Sky Serpent Mansion is destined to rise... Ha ha ha."

As his words ended, only the elder's laughter echoed through the hall.

Elsewhere, led by the two-headed Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, Xiao Se was gripping its tail as they ventured deep into the magma world.

Looking around at the fiery magma surrounding him, Xiao Se couldn't help but feel a little unnerved. They had been diving into this magma for almost an hour now, yet despite using his X-ray vision, he still hadn't spotted the Green Lotus Core Flame .

Glancing again at the magma around him, Xiao Se suddenly frowned as he recalled how cunning this Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent had been in the original story. He had beaten it severely earlier, so there was no guarantee this beast wouldn't try to take revenge by leading him astray.

He yelled at the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, "If you don't want to die, stop playing tricks and behave, or I'll kill you!"

Xiao Se's voice, infused with his Dou Qi, pierced through the Vast Sea Protective Barrier and the magma, reaching the ears of the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.

As a fourth-rank magical beast, equivalent to a human Dou Ling expert, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent already possessed a certain level of intelligence, so Xiao Se wasn't worried it wouldn't understand.

Terrified by Xiao Se's earlier display of power, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent turned its head toward the part of its tail that had disappeared, showing a submissive expression. Then, without further hesitation, it increased the speed of its movements, diving deeper into the magma at a much faster pace.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Xiao Se's X-ray vision faintly picked up a blue light deep within the magma. The blue light became clearer and clearer, and finally, a complete blue lotus came into view.

"This is... the Green Lotus Core Flame ... I've found it... Get closer!" Xiao Se, his heart filled with excitement, transmitted his Dou Qi voice to urge the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent.

At about twenty zhang (66 meters) away from the blue lotus, the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent suddenly stopped. Its massive eyes filled with fear as it gazed at the blue lotus, its body trembling, unwilling to approach.

"You stay here and wait for me," Xiao Se said calmly, noticing the serpent's trembling fear of the Heavenly Flame.

The Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent nodded quickly and obediently swam to the side.

Xiao Se's body trembled slightly as the Purple Cloud Wings shot out from his back. With a flap of his wings, he slowly flew toward the blue light.

Although using the Vast Sea Protective Barrier to move consumed a lot of Dou Qi, Xiao Se could still manage in such a short distance, especially with over thirty Qi Replenishing Pills on hand.

As he got closer, Xiao Se finally saw the complete form of the blue lotus.

Under the glow of the blue light, the lotus stood gracefully, with eight blue petals, each perfect and crystalline, giving it a stunning and flawless appearance.

In the center of the lotus, there was a small lotus platform about two to three feet wide. The platform had several small holes, emitting tiny specks of light.

In the center of the platform was a small fist-sized hole, and from it, a small blue flame gently rose.

The flame was highly intelligent, occasionally forming into a lotus shape or a tiny blue flame snake, playfully bouncing in the center of the lotus platform.

"Green Lotus Core Flame , I've finally found you."

His figure slowly submerged into the blue light. Hovering in mid-air, Xiao Se stared intently at the blue flame below, but he didn't rush in. In the original story, Medusa was seriously injured when she forcibly attempted to capture the flame.

He had no intention of making the same mistake.

Taking out a jade ruler, he carefully moved under the blue lotus. As long as he severed its root system, the lotus platform would be his, and with the platform's suppression, the Heavenly Flame wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

Staring at the slender root stem under the blue lotus, just as Xiao Se swung the jade ruler to sever it, the Green Lotus Core Flame instinctively sensed danger and began to churn violently. The entire magma world trembled, as though it was about to erupt. Wisps of blue flame shot out, attempting to attack the intruder.

Unfortunately, Xiao Se was concealed by the Vast Sea Protective Barrier. His aura and presence were completely hidden, leaving the Green Lotus Flame only able to rage in vain.

The blue flames subsided as quickly as they had erupted. Once the lotus's root system was severed and Xiao Se had injected his soul energy into the lotus platform to bind it, the entire magma world calmed down again.

The Green Lotus Core Flame was in his grasp!

In the Snake-People Tribe's holy city.

Inside a spacious and bright palace.

At the top of the hall was a large throne, where Queen Medusa was resting, her enchanting eyes slightly closed as if deep in thought.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyes opened wide. Beneath her red veil, her seductive lips lifted slightly as she spoke in a heavenly voice, "That feeling just now... was it a Heavenly Flame?"

After pondering for a moment, Medusa rose, her red wings extending from her back. With a slight flap, she shot out through the palace's massive ventilation opening.

In a town near the Tager Desert.

Inside a bright room, a large medicinal cauldron stood in the center.

Beside the cauldron, a scholarly-looking middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with joy. In a trembling voice, he said, "That was the aura of a Heavenly Flame! There's no mistaking it. Although it only lasted for a moment, it was definitely a Heavenly Flame."

After a brief moment of excitement, the man's expression turned serious as he muttered to himself, "Judging by the location, it seems the fire's aura disappeared deep in the Tager Desert, which is Queen Medusa's territory. No, I'll need to gather more help before going there."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man spread his Dou Qi wings, and with a flap, he flew rapidly in the direction of the capital.
