Use a Final Fantasy soundtrack.

Try to find something with the sound of a liquid making few bubbles at the surface with a heavy, low ambient sound.

Or try to find some lava-related soundtracks in games/movies.

Search video game soundtracks. The music is already ambient tracks designed to be played in the background while someone is playing a game.

I was searching for a long time for good ambient tracks for my Mutant Chronicles game and the best tracks I have found is selections from the Bioshock 2 soundtrack and the Call of Duty Black ops 3 Zombies soundtrack.

The first two Dragon Age games have excellent "dark fantasy" soundtracks.

Also, it's hard to beat Elder Scrolls for ambient fantasy music

Forgot to mention, don't use the [Embed] on those links; copy-paste them into your browser. They lead to playlists, so you can pick and choose which songs to use.

Also wanted to recommend the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit soundtracks:

General advice: stick with subdued tracks, don't use anything big and loud, even for battles. A big mistake that many GMs myself included make when they start using music in game sessions is that they play big, loud tracks that cause people to have trouble concentrating on the game.

Stick with tracks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4VHeYpzaAs&list=PLE7855814AAB038FA&index=3
