I've waited for you for a thousand years, and I've lived this life just to meet you

"As you command, Master!"

An Yi and the others responded by flying into the air, transforming into several streams of light and sinking into the bottom of the dried-up lake, quickly splitting up to pick up the precious crystal.

However, the ancient Sky-Devouring Beast didn't care about this at all. It continued to act as Su Yu'er's "furry scarf" as if it was growing on her body, and kept buzzing in her ear, calling "Mom".

"Madam, you are the only one in its eyes."

Xiao Mohan glanced at the busy secret guards, then looked at the clingy little black ball, speaking jokingly.

"Um…"

Su Yu'er looked down at the little fellow on her shoulder, her eyes unconsciously revealing indulgence, "Perhaps, in a previous life, we really had such a fate."

Soon, An Yi and others had searched the bottom of the lake clean and flew back to the shore with bags full of divine crystals.

"Master, all the divine crystals have been collected!"

An Yi respectfully replied.

Xiao Mohan's gaze remained on the Sky-Devouring Beast as he continued to instruct, "Alright. Take down the stone bowl. Distribute these two items among the people present."

"Yes!"

Xiao Qingyu and Dan Qingwan were both stunned when they heard this. They had only been traveling together and hadn't contributed much, so they hadn't expected the other party to be so generous.

Dan Qingwan felt quite embarrassed and quickly interrupted, "How...how can this be possible? We are unworthy of this."

Yang Jian looked at her, smiled gently, and explained, "Miss Dan, there is no need to refuse. My clan leader and his wife have always acted this way. Anyone who sees it will be rewarded."

Dan Qingwan's pretty face flushed slightly, her heart pounding like a deer. She forced herself not to look at Yang Jian's handsome face and whispered, "Then...thank you very much!"

Soon, An Yi distributed the divine crystals and the starlight divine water in the stone bowl to everyone according to their share.

"The Yin-Yang laws in this cave are chaotic and violent, and ordinary cultivators avoid it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this opportunity." Su Yu'er looked at everyone and explained with a smile.

Xiao Mohan looked around, confirmed that there were no more treasures left, and said, "Madam, we're done here, let's go to another mountain range."

Su Yu'er nodded slightly: "Okay! We shouldn't stay here for long, it's best to leave quickly!"

Xiao Qingyu frowned, her mind stirred, and she asked urgently, "Su Yu'er, is there a place with golden flames burning in the other mountain range?"

"That's right!" Su Yuer confirmed with a smile.

Dan Qingwan seemed to suddenly remember something, her expression suddenly became serious, and her tone was urgent: "Su Yuer, then we have to hurry over as soon as possible! As far as I know, the Fire Land has been targeted by Ji Jiusheng and the Corpse Ghost Sect!"

"Ji Jiusheng? Shigui Shenzong?"

Su Yuer's face showed a trace of doubt, "How do they know where it is?"

Su Dubei and Lu Linxuan had clearly stated that only Luodan Divine Realm, Wanxia Valley, and Qingfeng Divine Realm knew the secrets of that mysterious place. So how come Beiliu Divine Realm's Crown Prince Ji Jiusheng and the Corpse Ghost Sect were also involved?

Dan Qingwan was also confused. "I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason. But before Xiao Qingyu and I entered the Waterfall Valley, I heard that the Corpse Ghost Sect was aggressively arresting anyone who entered the secret realm. I don't know what they're up to, but it seems their target is the Flame Valley!"

"There is no time to lose, let's set off immediately!" Xiao Mohan's expression suddenly became serious.

Su Yu'er recalled that when she'd previously intimidated Ji Jiusheng in Waterfall Valley, she'd indeed seen no members of the Corpse Ghost Sect. The Corpse Ghost Sect's power was unfathomable, and it was unknown how many powerful members had infiltrated the secret realm this time. Their son, Gui Yun, was renowned for his treacherous tactics and terrifying combat prowess. If they were to tangle with her, the trouble would be endless.

"Mom! I'll take you there!" The little black ball rubbed Su Yu'er's cheek and volunteered.

"You know the way?"

Su Yuer tilted her head and looked at it curiously.

"Of course I know! There is a passage at the bottom of this lake that leads directly to the Fire Valley. That should be where mother is going."

The little black ball shook its head proudly.

"oh?!"

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan looked at the bottom of the lake at the same time.

Sure enough, one could vaguely feel a pure yang force and residual yin force interweaving deep in the lake bottom, winding into the distance.

Because, alone yin cannot produce life, and alone yang cannot grow.

The extreme of yang is yin, and the extreme of yin is yang, so since ancient times, yin and yang have been interdependent.

It seems that the source of the extremely yang power that comes from the passage at the bottom of the lake is the mysterious Golden Flame Valley?

The two of them immediately understood.

"Okay! Little black ball, lead the way for mother!" Su Yu'er smiled and touched its little head, and made a decision immediately.

"Don't worry, mother! I will protect you!" The little black ball rubbed her cheek again and vowed.

Xiao Mohan and the others couldn't help but twitch their lips when they heard this. This little fellow only had his mother in his eyes, completely ignoring everyone else.

Su Yuer raised her eyebrows slightly and curled her lips, "Well, you are still the best."

Upon hearing this, the little black ball perked up and immediately soared from Su Yu'er's shoulder. A strange glint suddenly shone in its eyes, locking its gaze firmly on the lake below. Its small mouth opened slightly, and a terrifying, incomparable, sucking force surged out, instantly enveloping the entire lake area.

hum!

The lake water was suddenly stirred and gathered by an invisible force, forming a huge whirlpool in an instant. A turbid water dragon roared up from the center of the whirlpool, sucking everything into its seemingly small mouth.

In just a dozen breaths, the huge lake, along with the gravel and silt, was completely swallowed up by it, leaving only the smooth rock layer at the bottom of the lake.

Xiao Moxuan and the others were stunned and stood there in shock. This little thing could truly contain a vast ocean and contain the universe!

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan quickly recovered from their shock. Without further hesitation, they led the others, guided by the small black ball, towards a deep passage revealed at the bottom of the lake.

The passage was deep, and the further one went, the wider it became, even more expansive than expected, as if entering another vast underground world. Everyone followed a single direction, moving through the darkness.

About an incense stick later, a blazing red light finally shone through the distance. Everyone rushed out of the passageway and was greeted by a completely different scene: they were now in the midst of another rolling red mountain range.

Looking around, the fields are barren!

The mountain ranges were barren, their crimson peaks molten and deformed by the terrifying heat, flowing with thick, scorching magma. The air twisted and steamed, and waves of heat rolled in, making it feel like being inside a massive furnace. Ordinary plants, and even living creatures, could not possibly survive in such an environment.

As soon as they came out of the passage, Su Yuer and others felt a heat wave hitting their bodies, and their clothes were instantly soaked with sweat.

"As expected of Yangshan! This place is still quite a distance away from that valley. An ordinary Heavenly God Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to hold out for even a moment."

Shi Mubai wiped the sweat from his forehead, marveling at the situation. The fire spirit root in his body was unusually active and slightly restless in this extreme environment.

"go!"

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan held up a divine power shield and took the lead in rushing towards the valley. Xiao Moxuan and others followed closely behind, leaving a trail of afterimages on the red earth.

Soon, a huge valley entrance, illuminated by golden flames as bright as day, appeared before their eyes.

At the entrance, an unimaginably massive meteorite stood blocking the view! The meteorite burned with endless golden flames, the flames condensed like substance, and possessed a crystal-clear texture like colored glass.

An Si's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Oh my God! This meteorite must have been burning here for tens of thousands of years!"

Ru Bing frowned, feeling the destructive energy coming towards her. She said solemnly, "I'm afraid it's more than that! Look at that stone. The inside has been burned until it's as transparent as glass. I wonder how much fire essence it contains."

"This entrance... is blocked?" Su Mingli looked at the huge creature with a look of surprise.

"Next to it! There's a gap we can squeeze through!"

The little black ball lay on Su Yuer's shoulder, stretched out its little claws and pointed at an inconspicuous, narrow crack on the right side of the meteorite with a weaker flame.

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan exchanged a glance, and the divine barrier surrounding them glowed even brighter, weaving the Phoenix Spirit Fire and Ancient Spirit Cold Fire outside the barrier, forming a powerful barrier. Everyone followed closely behind, transforming into several streams of light and piercing through the narrow, fiery gap!

The barrier made a crackling sound when it came into contact with the golden flames, but it still protected everyone.

Entering the valley, it felt like stepping into a world made purely of fire. The sky was a dome of flames flowing like molten gold, and the ground was a sea of ​​red magma bubbling with bubbles.

The terrifying high temperature distorts the space, and ordinary objects that fall into this place will instantly turn into green smoke.

It is surrounded by continuous flaming mountains, and the mountains also have the texture of glass that has been calcined for billions of years. Bottomless gullies with flowing lava crisscross the mountains, and the scene is magnificent and terrifying.

The entire Fire Valley was completely filled and dominated by a sacred and violent golden flame.

Su Yu'er and Xiao Mohan could clearly sense that the air was filled with the majestic yet extremely chaotic aura of the origin of fire, as if this place was the source of all fires.

What is even more frightening is that at the inner and outer edges of the valley, there are several figures with terrifying auras vaguely lurking, and their powerful divine thoughts are like invisible searchlights, scanning every corner of the valley over and over again.

In the distance, many disciples dressed in the uniforms of the Corpse Ghost Sect could be clearly seen setting up a huge formation barrier at the only regular entrance to the valley, completely blocking the entrance.

If the little black ball had not led them straight into the heart of the valley through the passage at the bottom of the lake, they would have been inevitably involved in a brutal and fierce battle with the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect if they wanted to enter from the front.

"It seems that this is the mysterious place that Dean Su mentioned." Su Yu'er's eyes flashed, as bright as stars.

"good."

Xiao Mohan opened his purple eyes, and the divine light shone through the layers of fire curtains, looking towards the core of the valley.

In the center of the golden sea of ​​fire, a deeper golden ocean can be vaguely seen, and in the center of the ocean, the shadow of a huge ancient tree standing tall and upright is floating in the golden ocean.

"The sacred Fusang tree?!" Even with his great concentration, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his face full of shock.

"What?! The Fusang Sacred Tree?!"

Su Yu'er's eyes were also wide open, she was extremely shocked.

Xiao Moxuan and others had already frozen in place. That was the legendary sun's abode, the ancestor of all fires!
