"It really is a Heavenly Fla..."
Queen dusa's massive serpent pupils stared at the green-blue fla, her gaze slightly dazed.
To her, that Heavenly Fla symbolized both danger and temptation.
"The Green Lotus Core Fla... Ranked nineteenth on the Heavenly Fla Ranking. Born deep within the earth, it takes ten years to form a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to bloom into a lotus. When it reaches maturity, its color turns erald, and a cluster of green fla is born at the lotus core—thus nad the Green Lotus Fla."
Due to her need for evolution, Queen dusa had studied Heavenly Flas to so extent.
"Then, Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
In the original story, it never explained how the Green Lotus Core Fla was subdued within the magma—only that the lotus seat remained.
However, Queen dusa was injured while facing the Green Lotus Core Fla.
"Heavenly Flas possess a spirit, but since it was born from the lotus, its core won't stray far from it. I'll suppress the fla spirit it summons. You take that chance to retrieve the lotus seat," Queen dusa said coolly.
Chen Mo nodded. Just as he layered himself with Dou Qi and two beast flas for triple protection and descended from Queen dusa's back—
She extended her serpent tongue and spat a stream of pure energy toward him, forming a protective barrier that enveloped his entire body.
When Chen Mo looked up at her, she was already swimming toward the Green Lotus Core Fla.
His lips curved into a smile.
With a flap of his wings, he darted forward like a small fish, heading swiftly toward the area bathed in green light.
As his body drew nearer to the green glow, Chen Mo could clearly feel the temperature around him rising sharply.
The outermost layer of his protective shield was already showing signs of lting.
anwhile—
As Queen dusa approached, the flas gathered atop the green lotus suddenly stirred. With a slight tremor, they transford into a green fla spirit and lunged toward her.
This fla spirit resembled a flood dragon, and its body was not much smaller than Queen dusa's.
The two sides quickly clashed in battle.
And Chen Mo quietly slipped into the area shrouded in the green light.
Unexpectedly, the intense heat he had anticipated never arrived. Instead, the temperature around his body dropped in a strange and eerie way.
Startled for only a mont, Chen Mo quickly turned his attention to the green lotus at the center.
The lotus had eight jade-like petals—perfectly shaped and glistening like flawless erald. It looked as if it had been crafted by nature itself.
Atop the lotus sat a platform roughly two or three feet in diater, dotted with glowing holes. From the largest central hole, a fla the size of a clenched fist rose, flickering softly.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Mo stealthily crept toward it from below the lotus stem, planning to cut it off at the root.
But the Green Lotus Fla noticed him. The fla trembled slightly, as if harboring a hint of fear, and urgently summoned back the fla spirit that was battling Queen dusa.
Sensing this, Queen dusa intensified her entanglent with the fla spirit, preventing it from escaping.
Trapped, the Green Lotus Fla grew even more anxious. Jets of magma erupted around it, and the fla spirit's strength suddenly surged, clearly trying to break free and return to protect its origin.
Queen dusa blocked its path.
Chen Mo glanced back at the scene. Holding Tian Yuan, he slashed toward the lotus stem of the Green Lotus Fla.
Just as the sword was about to reach it, a surge of erald fire burst from the fla above the lotus seat.
With a single swing, Chen Mo split the fla in two. The fire passed harmlessly on either side of his body.
Aside from a faint red glow on Tian Yuan's blade, there were no other effects.
Seeing that even its fla couldn't burn through a sword, the Green Lotus Fla grew agitated. Its light intensified.
From the size of a fist, it swelled to that of a human head.
anwhile, the fla spirit fighting Queen dusa also grew larger, nearly a full tier stronger.
With a violent strike of its tail, it lashed Queen dusa.
Boom!
Queen dusa was sent flying.
But the fla spirit didn't pursue her—instead, it rushed back toward the green lotus.
Pfft!
Blood spurted from Queen dusa's mouth. Seeing the fla spirit charging toward Chen Mo, she shouted in fury:
"By my command—stop right there!"
Boom!
Opening her jaws wide, she unleashed a crimson energy beam that blasted the fla spirit square in the body.
Bang!
The fla spirit was slamd into the rocky wall. The entire cavern shook as the impact triggered a collapse. Countless stones fell into the magma, and in that instant, the previously calm lava erupted into chaos.
At that mont—
Chen Mo used a special jade dagger to cut through the lotus stem, enduring the pain of searing heat as he grabbed hold of it.
Once the lotus was severed from its root, the surrounding erald light began to shrink. The eight jade-like petals retracted, wrapping around the Green Lotus Fla seated at the center.
As the Green Lotus Fla was sealed, the fla spirit embedded in the wall instantly dissipated.
But just then, the magma began to surge, and the entire cavern shook violently. Cracks split across the ceiling, and a massive boulder broke loose, plumting downward.
Chen Mo noticed at once and was about to slice it in half when a purple serpent tail lashed out, shattering the rock instantly.
"This cavern's collapsing—get up here!" Queen dusa's cold voice now carried a trace of urgency.
With a powerful flap of his wings, Chen Mo leapt onto her back.
Since the Green Lotus Fla didn't yet "belong" to Chen Mo, he couldn't store it in his system inventory. His current storage ring was also too low-grade.
He had no choice but to hold it for now.
Fortunately, with the lotus petals wrapped around it, the stem was no longer unbearably hot.
"You're hurt."
Chen Mo noticed several scales had fallen from Queen dusa's serpent body, and fresh blood was flowing from the wounds.
"None of your concern."
Queen dusa carried him toward the exit without slowing.
So stubborn.
Chen Mo took out a jade bottle from his storage ring and poured an entire bottle of dicinal powder onto her wounds.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," he said gently, softly caressing the scales around her injuries, as if easing her pain.

"I only acted because I don't want my sister to co out of seclusion and see you dead," Queen dusa said coldly.
Chen Mo smiled slightly without replying, his hand still gently stroking her scales.
—Outside the Cavern—
Not far from the city of Mo, the violent energy fluctuations had already drawn the attention of powerful experts.
Hai Bodong arrived first. Two other Dou Wang experts followed shortly after.
Sensing the residual energy at the cave entrance, Hai Bodong gasped in shock, "It's Queen dusa!"
