The town where Huo Lou is located was now crowded with people. The ground occasionally rumbled, and tremors shook the earth. News of the storm in the Lava Sea had spread across the continent a month ago. Although entry into the Lava Sea for exploration was currently impossible, many had arrived early in the town to wait. On top of Huo Lou, Zhu Chi and his daughter gazed toward the direction of the Lava Sea.
“Father, once the storm is over, please let me enter the Lava Sea,” Zhu Xiaohong said.
“No, it will be even more dangerous then. Moreover, after this storm, places where the Fire Lotus might appear may no longer exist, making it incredibly difficult to search for them,” Zhu Chi replied without hesitation.
“Are you still pinning your hopes on that disguised boy? If he cannot escape in time, his fate is already sealed.” Zhu Xiaohong was clearly accustomed to her father's dismissive attitude. She had brought up her desire to enter the Lava Sea more than once, and each time she received the same outright refusal.
“Indeed, I find myself thinking more about that boy's actions lately and feel he is not simple. Even if he cannot make it out alive, I will have other arrangements,” Zhu Chi asserted.
“But…”
“There are no ‘buts.’” Zhu Chi raised his hand to interrupt her. “I know you are worried about your mother; I am too. It’s just…” He turned to place a hand on his daughter’s shoulder, a bitter expression on his face. Only he understood that entrusting someone else to retrieve the Fire Lotus was still a possibility, but sending his daughter was entirely out of the question. He would never allow her to take such risks that could cost her life.
In a cave within the mountain, Mo Wen looked at the salvage equipment he had just finished crafting with satisfaction. To create this device, he had to take risks by entering the Square Inch World because it was too large for him to account for space when digging the cave. To test whether the equipment could withstand the high temperatures of lava, he placed it near the Little Black Hole to endure the scorching flames.
The cave remained submerged in lava; outside, apart from the sound of lava flowing and crashing against the mountainside, there was no other noise. This indicated that after this wave passed, there would be no significant waves approaching. Sitting in the cave, Mo Wen began to plan his next actions. Although his goal was to find a suitable training ground for Xiao Hei, missing such a great opportunity for treasure would be disastrous. During his time in the Square Inch World, he had been observing Xiao Hei's condition, which had stabilized now. He believed that salvaging treasure would not interfere with Xiao Hei's training.
Half a month later, the lava finally receded from the cave entrance. After waiting several more days, it had lowered to about ten feet below where he had constructed his cave—exactly where he wanted it to be. By now, Mo Wen had spent two months in this small cave. Looking through the entrance, he saw that the once towering stone pillars around him were now sparse. Above the sea surface swirled massive Fire Tornadoes that consumed lava and formed thick stone columns. Mo Wen noticed that not far from him, a stone pillar similar in size to his mountain had already emerged.
The Fire Tornadoes acted like column-forming machines; once one column was completed, that particular Fire Tornado would dissipate.
