I logged into Mr. Zombie

The Flaming Mountains, stretching for eight hundred miles.

The clanging and banging sounds continued.

A pair of boots landed on the rocks, making a sizzling sound.

Then two more pairs of exquisite cloth boots landed.

The further back in time you go, the more people fall behind.

The leader was wearing a suit of black scale armor, with a dragon's head and a human body, and walked with his head held high.

"It's so hot here." A woman with a sinister aura behind him raised her hand to wipe her sweat.

Another woman with a delicate and charming appearance snorted softly, "If you don't want to come, you don't have to."

"The Emperor's willingness to teach us magic is an unparalleled blessing."

"Why are you speaking so loudly? Are you doing this on purpose so that the Emperor can hear you?"

A jerk is just being pretentious! X2
"Alright," said the leading dragon-headed human-bodied general, "you just need to follow the Emperor's arrangements."

Yes~ x2
They knew they couldn't be arrogant because of their favor; although they were women, they were also monsters, and they knew what it meant to be prey to the strong.

Unlike herself, who rose to power through her beauty, the group following behind her were all specially selected disciples. They included not only talented young Taoists and demons from Thousand-Ren Immortal Peak, but also top students from the Immortal Vocational Technical School and the Slanting Moon Three Star Cave.

Often by the emperor's side, the two demons would occasionally ride on his shoulders. Standing on the shoulders of a giant, they could see much further and more clearly.

It's no secret that Qianren Xianfeng is a private security force, and that graduates of the Immortal Vocational Technical School are employed by the God of Justice and assigned to various grassroots positions such as the Earth God and Mountain God. On the other hand, Xieyue Sanxing Cave focuses on high-tech and sophisticated operations, and anyone who escapes from there could become a Demon King.

Thus, the power of this emperor alone is enough to cover the four continents.

Not to mention that the Emperor, like the God of Justice, has his own private army, including a group of bull-headed ghost soldiers who are said to be able to tear apart thousand-year-old demons, as well as a shadow puppet army similar to the Five Witches' Army.

On the contrary, the underworld, which is under the command of the Heavenly Court, is not taken seriously, while the outside world is most concerned about his identity.

The group climbed the mountain, stepping on the rubble that resembled extinguished coal.

With a "crack," the stone was crushed underfoot, sputtering sparks.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

The knocking sounds grew clearer.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they finally saw the source of the sound.

This is a large sinkhole surrounded by mountains, or perhaps it was once a lake that was dried up by the formation of the Flaming Mountains, leaving behind a cracked riverbed.

In the very center, there was a mountain of iron ingots.

There was also a man with loose black hair swinging a hammer to forge iron.

He was shirtless, revealing his muscular and robust body.

His right hand was raised high, and the short-handled hammer in his hand crackled with lightning. With a bang, "Boom!" Lightning and sparks exploded together, and the electric sparks splashed onto his chest, then collided and dispersed, causing no damage to his skin.

Half of his face was illuminated.

The heat and lightning generated by the collision did not disappear; instead, they surged outwards like ocean waves, rapidly crashing through the cracked crater.

The dragon-headed, human-bodied general at the forefront stood unmoved, letting the impacts batter his black-scaled armor. Behind him, two women radiated magical light, and two semi-circular shields, one jade-white and one emerald black, enveloped them, perfectly blocking the sweeping heatwave.

Those in the back reacted quickly, but were still swept away and staggered backward, while the monsters in the last row simply fell to the ground.

"Oh!"

The second hammer fell.

The heatwave struck again, but this time there was a massive, elephant-like sheep spewing water onto the iron ingots.

With a sizzle, the high-temperature steam instantly filled the entire pit.

The general with the dragon's head and human body was still standing still, but when his body came into contact with the water vapor, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stepped back and warned, "Do not touch this fog!"

The two women, who had wanted to use their magic weapons to defend themselves, stopped when they heard this. However, their cultivation levels were far too low, and they could not keep up with the speed at which the water vapor spread. The water vapor easily knocked through their magic weapon shields, and they could only watch helplessly as they were swallowed up by the water vapor.

In the critical moment, the spreading mist suddenly contracted and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

The surrounding environment also changed from hot, sticky, and humid to scorching dry.

"You've arrived. Don't panic. This is the Weak Water."

Everyone: "..."

The Weak Water, where even a feather cannot float and birds cannot cross? They felt that they had been too calm in their reaction, displaying a lack of awareness.

"Master." The group immediately bowed.

"Yes, get up. I've refined a few Five Elements Chariots this time, which can help you cultivate the Samadhi True Fire."

The Five Elements Chariot, covered in gold and iron, with wheels burning with heat, looks like just an ordinary magical artifact.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the "semi-finished products" piled up like a small mountain on site seem to match the various parts of the Five Elements Chariot.

Since Tan Wenjie obtained the method for making the Five Elements Chariot from Nezha, he has been studying it.

The only function of the Five Elements Chariot is to help those with dull aptitude learn the Samadhi True Fire. However, when Tan Wenjie was forging it by hand, he discovered another advantage of the Five Elements Chariot: it belongs to unorthodox methods, has a complete manufacturing process, and is a magical artifact once it is made.

This means that identical ones can be mass-produced.

The Five Elements Chariot, which is forged in ordinary form, only has the function of assisting in the cultivation of Samadhi True Fire. After changing the materials, it has been improved to a certain extent. If the forging technique is further improved, the effect will definitely be better.

"The liver belongs to wood, and wood can generate fire; the heart belongs to fire, and fire can generate earth; the spleen belongs to earth, and earth can generate metal; the lungs belong to metal, and metal can generate water; the kidneys belong to water, and water can generate wood. The five elements generate each other in an endless cycle."

Under Tan Wenjie's arrangement, the five-element cart was placed according to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. He casually recited an incantation, thick smoke billowed from his nose, and then he opened his mouth and "choked" out a burst of flames.

The flames rolled up and down like wheels, turning the ground crimson.

Tan Wenjie grabbed a cluster of fire and gathered it in his palm.

"Five vehicles combine with the five elements, and the five elements generate and transform into fire."

With a flick of his fingers, he clenched his fist and then opened it again; the Samadhi True Fire vanished without a trace, like a bubble. With him demonstrating, the little demons were all eager to try.

Although using the Five Elements Chariot to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire is considered unorthodox and a strange and ingenious skill, the fire has endless power and wonderful uses. Even if it requires carrying five small chariots on every trip, there are still monsters willing to do so.

In the struggle to outwit and outmaneuver others, the more skill one possesses, the greater the chance of survival.

With these monsters and children studying together, Tan Wenjie could take the opportunity to optimize and modify the Five Elements Chariot.

A while has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, some demons, due to insufficient talent and poor temperament, were unable to control the Samadhi True Fire and were burned to ashes; others were afraid and hesitant, lacking the will to fight against fate, and could only be sent back; naturally, there were also a group that successfully used the Five Elements Chariot and were able to use the Samadhi True Fire.

Just then, Tan Wenjie's Five Elements Chariot magic weapon crafting also reached a bottleneck. He was in dire need of a benevolent magical power that could stabilize various materials and fuse mutually repelling forces.

There are two people in this world who possess powerful benevolent magic, both of whom have been identified by the Lotus Lantern: one is Yang Jian, and the other is Yang Chan.

He immediately called for reinforcements.

Upon receiving the news, the Third Holy Mother, who was idle all day long on Mount Hua, agreed to fly over without hesitation.

The fire over Flaming Mountain has been growing stronger recently and is showing signs of spreading outwards.

"Let's just make up for it later."

Tan Wenjie flew into the air and summoned a banana leaf fan.

Because of his appearance, Princess Iron Fan did not dare to claim the Flaming Mountain as her own territory, and even the Holy Infant King Red Boy was nowhere to be found.

After going around in circles, Tan Wenjie realized that the biggest loser was Guanyin Bodhisattva. The mountain guardian deity was gone, and so was the Sudhana.

The banana leaf fan was waved, and a strong wind arose.

Thunder chickens, rain-making sheep, and other creatures flew into the sky, bringing clouds and rain.

A torrential downpour extinguished the fire at Flaming Mountain.

In just a short while, the Third Holy Mother flew nearby on a cloud.

When the demons who were cultivating in the mountains saw the Third Holy Mother, although they did not speak, their eyes involuntarily drifted towards Princess Wansheng and Princess Yumian. These two were not very powerful, but they always looked down on people because of their connections.

Looking at them now, they have their heads down and are behaving obediently.

Tan Wenjie didn't care about the reactions of the little demons and the children. He said to the Third Holy Mother, "Sister Chan, the magic of the Lotus Lantern is needed to help refine the magic weapon."

The Holy Mother immediately took out the Lotus Lantern.

"This is the Five Elements Chariot, a little gadget I got from Nezha."

He told the Three Holy Mothers about the finished Five Elements Cart, including the incantation.

The other party, however, worriedly said, "Your study of such strange and ingenious techniques is of no benefit to your cultivation."

"It's just a way to pass the time," Tan Wenjie said.

He always knew how to prioritize his own cultivation over improving his strength, using cheat codes to enhance his abilities.

By taking advantage of system updates and upgrades, and studying the branching paths tree diagrams of the future routes, you can reap greater rewards.

Seeing that he was determined, the Third Holy Mother did not refuse. After all, she herself spent her days playing games, reading comics and novels, which was more time-consuming than Tan Wenjie's research into these strange and frivolous skills.

"Ok?"

A golden light shot towards him at lightning speed from afar, and when it reached him, it spread its wings and revealed itself to be a golden sparrow.

The golden sparrow spoke in human language: "Brother Jie, the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang, come quickly."

After saying that, the sparrow exploded with a "bang" and turned into a monkey hair.

Meeting Yang Chan's curious gaze, Tan Wenjie coughed lightly: "This monkey, when he encounters problems on the journey to the West, the first thing he wants to do is ask me for help, as if I am the one who is on the journey."

He strongly suspected that the monkey did it on purpose.

Why wait until this moment to send a signal when it's not good to do so?

The Third Holy Mother laughed and said, "Tang Sanzang calls you Master, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven calls you Brother. Shouldn't you go?"

"Of course we should go."

However, with the Third Holy Mother here, it would be somewhat inappropriate for her to go to the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang.

Is he going to go to the Land of Women to pretend to be a virtuous gentleman? He's the most honest person when he's out and about; he can't play the role of a virtuous gentleman.

Then the Third Holy Mother said, "Why don't I go with you? Maybe we can help Sun Wukong."

Tan Wenjie was silent for a while, then nodded: "Chanmei is right, let's set off now."

“Master,” the little alligator beside him stepped forward, “I’ll carry you.”

He transformed into a robust and powerful black dragon horse.

"No need. You stay here and take care of them. Make sure their cultivation doesn't go wrong. I'll be right back."

After Tan Wenjie and the Third Holy Mother flew away, the little demons and children who had been keeping quiet finally opened up.

"Why do I feel like the master seems a little afraid of the Third Holy Mother?"

"Could that rumor be true?"

"What rumors?"

Cultivating oneself is nowhere near as interesting as listening to gossip.

The boy, his face beaming with excitement, was about to tell a story when he saw the little alligator dragon approach with a dark expression, and immediately shut his mouth.

Little Alligator Dragon: "What rumor?"

Everyone: "..."

So you like listening to gossip too. (End of Chapter)
