How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

"Run, Li boy! Don't worry about me!"

Upon seeing Li Muyun appear, the running blue ox didn't bother to stop, let out a loud shout, and galloped past him.

After a long while, the four giant four-winged ferocious cicadas gradually shrank, transforming into four palm-sized cicada pupae, which fell to the ground, clearly indicating that the seal had been successfully sealed.

Li Muyun, who sealed four ferocious cicadas at once, broke out in a cold sweat. The Heavenly Punishment Fire Seal required too much true essence and involved many Taoist techniques. If he hadn't carried the Heavenly Dao Creation Divine Sword and had the Taiji Diagram by his side, he would have had no way to use it.

It must be said that this Divine Fire Immortal is quite accomplished to have cultivated to such a level.

After catching his breath, the big blue ox, hearing the commotion behind him, clicked his tongue in amazement and came closer with a slight smile.

"Young Li, you're really something! You can even enjoy yourself like this four-winged ferocious cicada. I, the Divine Ox, was right about you."

Looking at the sly, licking-lipped ox with a wicked grin, a nameless rage rose in his heart.

This damned ox has been causing him trouble all along the way. This time, he hasn't even found the Blood Nether Pearl yet, and he's acting recklessly and disobeying orders, which has also triggered four ferocious cicadas. If it weren't for the fact that he had just learned the Heavenly Punishment Fire Seal...

Subduing these four ferocious cicadas will likely require another fierce battle.

"You damn bull! Damn it, you won't listen to me when I try to talk to you like a human!"

Li Muyun glanced behind him, and when he was sure that the others hadn't followed yet, he suddenly became furious, grabbed the bull's head, and beat it severely.

The big blue ox suddenly pulled its head back and burst out of Li Muyun's shackles, chuckling.

"Don't be angry, kid. This time, I, the Divine Ox, have brought you good news. There are many treasures in that mysterious pavilion, and these four ferocious cicadas are eyeing those treasures."

"You better not lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, you can have your Blood Nether Pearl yourself. If you can't find it, I don't care if the Imperial Cinema wants to be skinned alive or disemboweled."

Li Muyun's expression was complicated. He glared at the dead bull, but still believed it.

He immediately led everyone toward the mysterious pavilion that the Great Blue Ox had entered earlier. The pavilion had an extraordinary aura and was filled with flowing light. From a distance, it far surpassed ordinary things in the mortal world, and it looked like a treasure pavilion.

Li Muyun's lingering anger subsided somewhat. This dead ox had finally proven useful once, knowing that a treasure existed and sharing it with everyone.

Just as he excitedly entered the attic, wondering whether or not to forgive the big blue ox this time, he found it in complete disarray.

The treasure chests, bathed in shimmering light, were all empty. The golden camphor wood shelves were overturned and scattered about. The desks and cabinets were all ransacked and overturned. Even the bottle boxes were crushed and broken. The entire room was practically turned upside down.

What remained on the ground were coarse clothes and tattered cloth, low-grade spirit stones that had lost their luster, and wildflowers and weeds scattered everywhere. It was truly rubbish, with not a single treasure that could be of any use.

Everyone fell silent as they watched the scene unfold before them. After a long while, they turned their gaze to the large blue ox.

The big blue ox had such a thick skin that it wouldn't spit out what it had already eaten. It pretended to look around in surprise.

"Hey, what happened? Where are these treasures? There were so many treasures, who took them all!"

Li Muyun's previously calm anger surged up again, and he wished he could crack open this dead ox right now in front of everyone.

Perhaps realizing that his acting was too exaggerated, Da Qingniu chuckled twice and came closer.

"Actually, the best treasures are all on the top floor. That four-winged ferocious cicada was eyeing those treasures..."

Li Muyun said no more, afraid that if he said another word, he would lose control of his anger. He hurriedly ran to the top floor. If this damned bull dared to trick him again, he would really beat him up on the spot.

The others also had strange expressions, and followed them to the top floor with indignant looks.

The once menacing door on the top floor was shattered, and the four lifelike four-winged cicada statues at the entrance truly startled Li Muyun.

It seems that the big blue ox broke into the top floor, which is why it was chased by the four-winged ferocious cicada.

Ahead, a radiant glow spread out, flames soared into the sky, and countless blazing rays of light danced and swayed with the immortal herbs, creating bursts of fiery mist—a breathtaking and awe-inspiring sight, as if dancing freely amidst raging flames.

It exuded majesty, with blazing firelight and an aura of cold arrogance and domineering power.

"Emperor Flame Flower?"

Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat. Under the Rabbit God's tireless popular science explanation, he immediately recognized this celestial-level divine object.

However, the Emperor Flame Flower is not yet mature and is still in the stage of preparing for its dance. The mature Crimson Flame Flower no longer dances, but instead has a crimson crown on its flower bud.

"Good baby!"

Li Muyun's expression softened slightly as he stepped forward, his aura flowing as he attempted to pluck the immortal herb, only to be reduced to ashes amidst the blazing flames and mist.

Ordinary auras simply cannot penetrate the fire mist and approach the Emperor Flame Flower.

This is probably why the dead cow didn't accept it itself, but instead handed it over to me.

Li Muyun glared at the dead ox, then pulled out the Devouring Creation Sword from behind his back. The power of devouring surged forth and collided violently with the fire mist. After a stalemate, the power of devouring prevailed, absorbing the fire mist into the sword.

The true form of the Emperor Flame Flower is revealed: its crimson blossoms, proud and fierce, sway and dance. It's hard to imagine that seeing a single flower could evoke such a sense of awe and power.

Li Muyun immediately broke free from his emotional turmoil and put the Emperor Flame Flower into his possession.

After searching the mysterious pavilion again and finding nothing, the group returned to their previous residence.

Now, in this ancient city of raging fire, things are somewhat different from what the group had known about the Crimson Sun Dead Land.

Li Muyun was particularly puzzled. This trip to the Crimson Sun Dead Land seemed dangerous, but in reality, there wasn't much danger from the Crimson Sun Dead Land itself. The real danger came from the interference and meddling of the Sun God Temple.

This is quite strange. You should know that the Crimson Sun Dead Land is known as one of the three dead lands of the Sun Moon Empire, but it does not have many hidden dangers. Even if there are, they can be resolved through formations and magic treasures. It is not like a dead land at all.

On the contrary, it hides many treasures and offers numerous opportunities. Rather than calling it a dead end, it is more like a blessed land.

The group was equally puzzled, and just as they were expressing their doubts, Yao Weiwei, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

“I have heard my elders say that entering the Crimson Sun Death Zone is not the most dangerous thing. The real terror here is that in order to leave, one must remove the ignited fire of the soul.”

"The fire of the divine fire?"

Li Muyun asked with some surprise.

"Yes, it's the karmic fire in your heart. Everyone must have encountered it before. The restlessness and worry come from this."

"When everyone enters the Crimson Sun Death Zone, their souls are ignited. If they cannot extinguish or remove the flames before leaving, they will die after their souls are burned away."

"This is the true terror of the Crimson Sun Death Ground!"
