As he got closer, the bloodstain shards were automatically absorbed by the System.

One after another, ten pieces, a total of a hundred thousand Attribute Points were added to his account.

[Achievement: Trouble Maker (55/108) can now be obtained.]

With over half of the bloodstain shards collected, the progress of his achievement task also surpassed half, and Li Xiaobai had discerned the distribution pattern of these shards—they seemed to be placed in significant locations throughout the Immortal Spirit Continent.

And these significant locales were invariably places with advantageous terrain, abundant with spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which also meant that they were usually strongholds of major forces and thus very easy to recognize.

“Judging by the streak of light just now, it seems that the bloodstain shard shot up from below. Might there be other treasures at the bottom of this magma?”

Li Xiaobai frowned slightly as he conversed with himself, relaxing his body and beginning to sink slowly, ready to check out the bottom. He had long since taken out a Luminous Pearl and held it in his mouth, which allowed him to breathe freely in this sea of magma.

The magma was unlike the real sea; its interior was bright and translucent, sparkling with concentrated spiritual power. He speculated that there must be a Formation within this Magma Secret Realm, operating in conjunction with the Celestial Prison to exert suppression.

After sinking for more than ten meters, Li Xiaobai felt his feet touch solid ground, and a reassuring sensation of stepping on something solid passed through him.

“The bottom of this lake is unexpectedly silent, devoid of the terrifying waves on the surface of the magma.”

He trod forward cautiously in this magma-bottomed world, and soon his steps halted abruptly—a familiar object erupted with a burst of five-colored light, revealing it to be a Five-colored Small Altar.

This altar was identical to the one he had found in the depths of the frontier, radiant in five-color brilliance.

“To think there is also a Five-colored Altar here, and it seems to have yet to be discovered.”

“It seems that the Vice Leader hasn’t come to the Eastern Sea to investigate. I wonder if behind this altar there is also a powerful being from the Upper Realm peering through.”

Li Xiaobai was astonished to find such a spot capable of connecting to the Upper Realm within the Old Dragon King’s territory in the Eastern Sea, yet judging by the situation, the other party seemed unaware; otherwise, they surely would not have left it here.

He moved closer and scrutinized the altar. Unlike the dusty one in the frontier, this one, due to its location in the underground magma, bore no dust, nor was there any sign of corrosion or melting from the magma. Its surface was smooth and seemed as good as new.

Placing the altar here was truly puzzling. In principle, altars serve as conduits between worlds, but who would set up an entrance in the middle of a lake of magma?

“I should go up and discuss this with Kraken. He might know something.”

Li Xiaobai did not take the altar with him. Positioned at the bottom of the magma and tucked within the upper reaches of the Celestial Prison, there was no need to worry about security. It was undoubtedly one of the most fortified places on the Immortal Spirit Continent, much better than anything he could carry with him.

The immediate priority was still to understand the workings of the altar and make preparations as soon as possible.

With that thought, he swiftly swam upwards, resurfacing from the magma once more.

“Kid, you’re actually still alive!”

“Within this underground magma, there is a Formation imbued with power. Even a regular Great Crossing Realm Cultivator would turn to ash upon mere contact, and even my flesh, despite repeatedly suffering scorching, would start to char. How can you be unharmed?”

Seeing Li Xiaobai emerge from the magma, Kraken’s tone was quite surprised; recklessly entering the magma meant certain death, yet the other party was able to come out without a scratch, which was indeed incomprehensible.

It should be noted that even Kraken felt the magma was somewhat dangerous.

“It’s just magma, I usually use it as if it’s hot water for my baths,” Li Xiaobai said with a light smile.

“Nonsense,” Kraken said. “You must have some amazing secret that even this magma can’t harm you in the slightest. I have a plan here, are you interested in doing something big together?”

“I’m not interested in breaking out of jail, but there is one thing I would like to ask for your advice on, please do not hesitate to enlighten me.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Li Xiaobai spoke cheerfully, knowing what the other party meant. He had heard earlier from the ‘Evil’ of the sixth layer that this Sea Clan boss was planning to escape with the prisoners.

However, he would be able to leave in a few days, and there was no need for him to break out.

If this Sea Clan boss knew the truth of the matter, he would probably be so angry he’d spit blood, realizing from beginning to end it was all his one-sided sentiments.

“Speak, what do you want to ask?”

“Do you know what’s beneath this magma?”

“There are those blood-colored shards you mentioned earlier. When I first arrived, I stirred the magma with my Divine Skills and caught a glimpse of them. The power on them is so profound and obscure that even I find them difficult to comprehend. But after all, they’re just fragments, of no great use if obtained,” Kraken said truthfully.

“Have you ever seen a five-colored altar?” Li Xiaobai asked.

“There’s something else down there?”

Full of doubt, Kraken asked, and then without waiting for Li Xiaobai to speak, began operating his Cultivation Technique, his Divine Skills tearing apart the magma below, revealing deep, crisscrossing chasms that exposed the exquisitely small Five-colored Altar.

“There really is something! This wouldn’t happen to be the Formation’s key point, would it? Kid, if we destroy it, I might be able to get out!”

Kraken shouted loudly, its first reaction being that the object was indeed the key point of the Formation. After all, this entire microcosm operated according to a Formation, and upon suddenly seeing an altar-looking object, it instinctively thought in that direction.

Li Xiaobai knew the Sea Clan boss was unfamiliar with the altar, but when he saw the boss quietly gathering Immortal Spirit Qi, preparing to launch a fierce assault, he was taken aback and quickly intervened: “Stop, this isn’t the Formation’s key point!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

As he spoke, he recounted the story of the frontier altar in full, hoping Kraken could analyze something from it. After all, this individual had lived many years; by age, he was a generation above the Old Dragon King and the leaders of Aolai Country, seasoned and well-informed.

There was no need to hide or cover up the matter of the altar. Sooner or later, the Upper Realm cultivators who had designs on the Immortal Spirit Continent would take action, and the exposure of the altar was only a matter of time. Moreover, at this moment, Kraken was tightly controlled and would not be able to do anything even if it harbored ill intentions.

After listening to Li Xiaobai’s narration, Kraken fell silent.

After a long while, it asked, “Kid, when you came in here, did the Old Dragon King beat you up?”

“No, I walked in here by myself,” Li Xiaobai felt somewhat puzzled.

“Then how is your brain damaged?”

Li Xiaobai: “…”

“What you’ve said is too mystical. If the altar really is a passage connecting two worlds, then wouldn’t everyone be able to go to a higher plane for cultivation?”

“Young man, I really couldn’t tell, but you’re quite the storyteller.”
