A strong heat rose from below after they crossed the Magic Lightning Formation.

“There’s a lake below us, and it’s boiling,” Mu Bai pointed out for everyone.

“Great, it’s been tiring since we came to this city. We can enjoy ourselves a bath in a natural hot spring,” Zhao Manyan smiled back.

‘The temperature of the water was extremely high. Just as Jiang Shaoxu, Xinxia, and Lingling had guessed, the underground lake was the source of the water for the drinking water plant. The water of the underground lake was delivered up through clean pipes.

“The water is clearly from the bottom of the sea. There must be a crack at the bottom of the sea that causes the water to leak into here and form a lake under the city. However, there must be something in the lake that is heating up the water,” Jiang Shaoxu deduced.

“We’ll soon find out!” Mo Fan jumped into the water.

The others followed him. The water was hot, just like a hot spring, explaining why Lanyang was known for its hot springs. There was a natural hot spring underneath it!

The lake was surprisingly deep. The group had been diving deeply for some time, but they still could not see the bottom.

‘The world under the water was a lot bigger than they had imagined. The subterranean lake they had seen was only a narrow entrance!

‘The group eventually found themselves in an open area. Even the walls around the waters were nowhere to be seen.

“Do you see those round things like rocks floating in the water? Are they pebbles from the bottom of the sea?” Zhao Manyan asked, pointing at them.

“Maybe.”

The heat grew stronger as they dove deeper.

‘The strange thing was that the heat was not coming from the boiling water. It felt more like the heat of some light shining on them.

“Look below, something is glowing.”

‘The walls started to close in and formed the shape of an underwater pond. A lump of scorching red liquid was rolling around inside it.

The scorching light was coming from the pond, including the heat that had warmed up the whole lake!

“Is that lava?”

“Tm not sure. Mo Fan, go check it out,” Zhao Manyan suggested.

‘Mo Fan swam closer and saw a large number of the same rocks they had seen drifting around the pond.

If the pond was a burning red planet, the rocks were like a ring of asteroids around it!

Mo Fan had no idea what they were. When he slowly swam into the hot pond, he realized the thing rolling around in the pond was not lava, but bundles of feathers blazing as red as maple leaves!

The pond was full of feathers as dazzling crimson as autumnal leaves. They were also glowing as brightly as lava, and so they looked like a lump of strange scarlet liquid from afar.

‘The feathers had been soaked under the water for a long time, but they were still releasing a special energy that not only created a cultivation ground under the city, but made the people of Lanyang immune to the cold plague.

Most importantly, even though the lines on the Runes were not the same, they all resembled the shape of a Totem Seal!

The Mysterious Feather Totem Beast! Its feathers had filled up the pond!

Had it been dead for several centuries? How strong was it when it was alive, if its feathers were still burning endlessly even today!?

‘Mo Fan went closer and scooped up the feathers with both hands.

The feathers were huge. Even the tiniest quill was the size of Mo Fan’s palm. The feathers at the center of the pond were the size of banana leaves and emitting different kinds of red light.

‘The feathers in Mo Fan’s hands suddenly erupted into flames. At the same time, Mo Fan could feel his heart pounding heavily and his blood boiling, like he was going to erupt into flames just like the feathers!

Mo Fan could feel that the flames were scorching but gentle!

The heat rising in his body from the burning feathers were not trying to hurt him. Most flames would spread as they burned, but the flames on his hands remained in a certain area.

For some reason, Mo Fan could see the ancient Totem Beast through the flames. It was as calm and noble as a glamorous woman, just like the Maple Leaf Blazing Feathers in the pond. It continued to shine and display its unique brilliance while being surrounded by disturbances and noises.

“They are indeed from the same branch!” Mo Fan felt his heart responding to the feathers. The Four-Eyed Bird and the Mysterious Feather Totem Beast were from the same ancestry!

No, the Four-Eyed Bird was most likely a descendant of the Mysterious Feather Totem Beast!

Only the ardent-hued feathers burst into flames when he touched them. There were feathers of other colors in the pond, but the Four-Eyed Bird only stirred up the ardent feathers!

The feathers started moving as if a wind was blowing into the pond, but how could there be wind under the water?

Some of the feathers rose from the deep pond and spun about in the water. Their tips were pointing at Mo Fan, as if something was attracting them.

The feathers flew at Mo Fan before he could react. They all burst into flames in the middle of their flights.

‘Mo Fan’s heart and blood were already burning. As the feathers rammed into his body, they slowly melted into the flames of the Four-Eyed Bird.

The pool had a large number of dawn-hued feathers. Mo Fan was soon surrounded by several layers of feathers. They were merging with Mo Fan’s Phoenix Flame in an orderly manner, strengthening his Furnace Heart and its flames!

‘Mo Fan was caught off-guard by the actions of the feathers. However, he felt extremely comfortable as the strong energy of the Fire Element wrapped around him and poured into his body!
