Chapter 1760: Map of the Crimson Fire Continent

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Time flew by as nightfall arrived in the blink of an eye.

The night was pitch dark, with nothing but a bright moon in the skies. The size of a basin, the moon light lit up the the ground, creating a mysterious but magnificent façade.

Qingfeng Li and Mengyao Xu headed towards the Auction Company without Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake.

Qingfeng Li originally wanted to meet Ya Yun on his own to get the map of the Crimson Fire Continent, but Mengyao Xu was worried about him and insisted on tagging along. She was afraid that something would happen between Ya Yun and him.

Not knowing how to react, Qingfeng Li thought, I’m a good guy, how can you be so doubtful?

However, Qingfeng Li also knew that Mengyao Xu was easily jealous, so he had to let her come along.

After a while, the duo arrived at the Auction Company. The building was grand and stood out even in the night. Once the guards outside saw Qingfeng Li, they bowed in respect and immediately welcomed him in.

They remembered that Qingfeng Li was an esteemed guest of the Auction Company, who had been personally invited by Miss Ya Yun herself. Today, Miss Ya Yun also informed them to invite Qingfeng Li in as soon as he arrived.

After Qingfeng Li and Mengyao Xu entered the room, they saw Ya Yun was sitting there, sipping tea.

Ya Yun was wearing a fabulous red dress that showed off all the curves on her body. She had beautiful features, snow-white skin, and long eyelashes.

Perhaps it was for Qingfeng Li, but Ya Yun was wearing a thin layer of makeup, making her even more beautiful than usual.

Qingfeng Li’s face lit up at the sight of her, and Mengyao Xu pinched him immediately, reminding him to look away.

Ya Yun’s face dimmed when she saw Mengyao Xu. Her father had told her to recruit Qingfeng Li, but he didn’t seem to be interested in anything, not even monarch level elixirs.

Therefore, Ya Yun decided to sacrifice herself to get Qingfeng Li to join the Business Alliance, but she didn’t expect Mengyao Xue to tag along. For some reason, Ya Yun didn’t like Mengyao, not even a little bit.

Did all beautiful women detest each other, and could only be enemies, just like Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu way back when?

Qingfeng Li sighed silently at the thought of Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu. He knew that Xue Lin was in the northern part of Crimson Fire Continent, but it would take a while before he could get to her.

As for Ruyan Liu, he still didn’t know where she was, Qingfeng Li thought regrettably.

To avoid awkwardness between the two, Qingfeng Li spoke first, “Ya Yun, do you have the map?”

Ya Yun beamed at him as her slim fingers reached into her inside pocket to take out a map. She handed it to Qingfeng Li and said, “This is the map of the Crimson Fire Continent. It’s very detailed, and there are notes on every kingdom, sect, and even areas with powerful creatures in them.”

Qingfeng Li nodded his head and thanked her as he took the map into his hands. Looking carefully, he realized that the Crimson Fire Continent was incredibly vast, and was billions of square kilometers in size.

Qingfeng Li estimated that with his currently powers, travelling from the southern-most point to the northern-most point would take him at least a year.

With the map in his hands, Qingfeng Li said, “Ya Yun, I’m going to go now. Tomorrow, I will leave Lingyun and head towards the north of the Crimson Fire Continent.”

Ya Yun didn’t want Qingfeng Li to leave, but had no choice, as she saw the determination in Qingfeng Li’s eyes.

No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead may be, Qingfeng Li had to go to the Dark Ice Sect, because a woman who was extremely important to him was waiting there.

Boom, boom, boom…

Just as Qingfeng Li and Ya Yun were speaking, a series of loud booms echoed the skies. The sound was crisp and shook the entire earth, along with the room they were in – was it an earthquake?

Qingfeng Li felt a strong sense of energy coming from the loud noises, and he knew that whatever was making the noise must be extremely powerful.

His expression changed. “Let’s go and see what’s happening.”

The three of them hurried outside, and their faces froze with shock as they left the hall.

It was nighttime, but extremely bright outside. Colors of the rainbow lit up the skies – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple…

Each ray of light represented a powerful energy, that of swords, sabers, spiritual treasures and artifacts.

Qingfeng Li estimated that the rainbow rays were at least ten million kilometers away from them, but he could still clearly see that they were all monarch level dharma treasures.

There were also monarch level techniques and elixirs within the rainbow as well as other legendary treasures.

Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun looked in awe – neither of them was monarch level, so naturally they were extremely attracted to all these monarch level treasures and elixirs.

These were no ordinary level one Spirit Monarch Realm treasures – some were that of level three, while others were level five, or even level eight.

It took a while before the three of them were pulled back into reality.

Qingfeng Li asked Ya Yun, “Do you know where the rays came from just now? How were there so many monarch level elixirs, techniques and spiritual treasures?”

Ya Yun took a deep breath in and tried to push down the shock bubbling inside of her, “if I’m not mistaken, the lights were probably coming from the Death Mountains.”

Qingfeng Li was puzzled – he wasn’t familiar with the Crimson Fire Continent, and never heard of the Death Mountains. He looked at Ya Yun, waiting for an explanation.

Mengyao Xu didn’t know anything about this either, so she looked towards Ya Yun also. Ya Yun was the daughter of the chairman of the biggest business alliance within the Crimson Fire Continent – this alliance had a lot of intel and knew a lot of ancient mysteries.

Chapter 1761: The Sun Monarch’s Mystic Realm

Seeing the bafflement on Qingfeng Li’s face, Ya Yan knew he didn’t know anything about the Death Mountains.

Cautiously, Ya Yun looked around. When she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she explained in a whisper, “Qingfeng Li, I’ll tell you the extraordinary background of the Death Mountains. Five thousand years ago, they were actually known as the Sun Mountains instead of the Death Mountains and it was the territory of the Sun Monarch.”

Sun Monarch?

At the mention of this name, Qingfeng Li became even more puzzled because he didn’t know who the Sun Monarch was. Having been in the Crimson Fire Continent for only a few months, he had no knowledge about the history of the land.

There were still many places in the Crimson Fire Continent that Qingfeng Li had never been to, but the name of the Sun Monarch sounded powerful.

With a sigh, Ya Yun said, “Qingfeng Li, I wonder if you came from some remote mountain village. You have great power and combat ability, and great intelligence, too, but you actually have never heard of the Sun Monarch.”

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, saying, “I came from a small place and naturally have never heard about the Sun Monarch. Now hurry up and tell me his story.”

Extending a slim finger, Ya Yun tapped her forehead and explained, “The Sun Monarch was the emperor of the Crimson Fire Continent five thousand years ago.

He had governed the Crimson Fire Continent for tens of thousands of years, until he was killed by the Crimson Fire Emperor five thousand years ago. He died at the Sun Mountains which had thus become the Death Mountains.”

Qingfeng Li was astonished. He had not expected that the Sun Monarch had been the dominator of this planet. No wonder there had been so many spirit monarch realm elixirs and spiritual treasures.

With a frown, Qingfeng Li asked, “Ya Yun, since the Death Mountains once belonged to the Sun Monarch, why hasn’t the Crimson Fire Emperor taken all those spirit monarch realm elixirs, spiritual treasures, and cultivation techniques from here?”

Ya Yun shook her head and whispered, “It’s not so easy. As the dominator of the planet, the Sun Monarch was very powerful. Although he was killed by the Crimson Fire Emperor, his soul didn’t die but formed a mystic realm which opens every 1,000 years, allowing all the absolute geniuses to go in to search for treasures.”

Joy appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He said, “You just said all the major forces of the whole Continent, including major sects and geniuses of every country, right? Do you think the leader and the disciples of the Dark Ice Sect will come, too?”

Ya Yun nodded, saying, “Of course they will come. This is a gala in which all the major forces, sects, and kingdoms will participate in. They will come for the spirit monarch realm elixirs and cultivation techniques which will help them break through into the spirit monarch realm.”

Hearing Ya Yun’s explanation, exhilaration appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes. He had planned to look for Xue Lin in the Dark Ice Sect in the north of the Crimson Fire Continent.

But it would take him one year to get there. Now it seemed like he didn’t have to go there after all. He needed only to travel to the Sun Mystic Realm and they will get a chance to reunite with each other when the leader of Dark Ice Sect brings Xue Lin there.

Qingfeng Li looked at Ya Yun and asked, “How can one enter the Sun Mystic Realm? Are there any requirements?”

Ya Yun said, “Every emperor, major force, and sect can recommend three to five hundred people. The more powerful the force is, the more people it can bring into the Sun Mystic Realm.”

Qingfeng Li nodded to show his understanding. Since he lived in the Country of Lingyun and had a good relationship with the emperor, he decided to go to the emperor to ask for a recommendation.

Qingfeng Li parted with Ya Yun and returned to the royal palace of Lingyun with Mengyao Xu.

Meanwhile, the Emperor of Lingyun was waiting for Qingfeng Li. Knowing Qingfeng Li would leave today, he had prepared many things for his farewell.

He didn’t want Qingfeng Li to leave but it was not his choice to make.

He was waiting for Qingfeng Li when suddenly the sky went through a strange transformation. He ran out and was stunned at the sight of the seven-colored light in the sky.

As the emperor of Country of Lingyun, he was familiar with the more obscure ancient history of the land. He knew that the light came from the Sun Mystic Realm, which was located in the Death Mountains.

When Qingfeng Li and Mengyao Xu returned to the Royal Palace, they found the emperor was in a daze as if he had seen something incredible.

Qingfeng Li walked over and asked, “Emperor, what are you thinking about?”

The emperor said, “Qingfeng, did you see the seven-colored light in the sky? It came from the Sun Mystic Realm which opens once every 1,000 years. All the kingdoms, major forces, and sects all over the Crimson Fire Continent can go in and search for treasures.”

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li said, “Ya Yun told me everything about it. But to enter the Sun Mystic Realm, we need a recommendation. I’m here to ask you to recommend some of us.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s request, excitement appeared in the eyes of the Emperor of Lingyun. He had thought Qingfeng Li would leave the country very soon and was thus excited that Qingfeng Li would again fight with him.

More than anyone else, the emperor of Lingyun knew about the great power of Qingfeng Li. With his help, the emperor would have a chance of getting some spiritual treasures and spirit herbs from the Sun Mystic Realm.

The Emperor of Lingyun said, “I can only recommend three people.”

With a slight frown, Qingfeng Li asked, “Yun Ya told me there would be three to 500 vacancies for recommendation. Why can you only recommend three, which is the lowest of the range?”

With a bitter smile, the Emperor of Lingyun explained, “Among the thousands of kingdoms in the Crimson Fire Continent, Country of Lingyun is the weakest, so I can only recommend three people.”

Seeing the puzzlement on Qingfeng Li’s face, the Emperor said, “The kingdoms here are categorized into low-tier kingdoms, intermediate kingdoms, high-tier kingdoms and super kingdoms. The low-tier kingdoms are those with no spirit monarch realm masters. Since there are no spirit monarch realm masters in the Country of Lingyun, we are a low-tier kingdom and I can only recommend three people.”

Qingfeng Li nodded with sudden understanding. By now, he had a clearer view of the major forces in the whole Continent.

He had thought himself powerful since he was unrivalled in the Country of Lingyun, but now he knew he had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Since there was no spirit monarch realm master in the whole kingdom, the Country of Lingyun was in the weakest tier of kingdoms of the Crimson Fire Continent, while higher tier kingdoms had spirit monarch realm masters.

Qingfeng Li asked, “Emperor, you can recommend three people. Who do you plan to recommend?”

Chapter 1762: The Winds are Up and Clouds are Surging

Hearing the words of the Emperor of Lingyun, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly while he considered. The emperor said only Mengyao Xu and Qingfeng Li could go with him, but Qingfeng Li had several people with him, including Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Desert Giant.

He asked, “Emperor, can you bring a few more people?”

With a bitter smile, the emperor said, “I wish I could bring more people in there so we can get more spiritual treasures, spirit herbs, and other treasures. But as a low-tier kingdom, Lingyun doesn’t have more vacancies.”

After a moment’s consideration, Qingfeng Li had an idea. He asked, “Besides the three of us, can we bring some battle beasts, such as Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake?”

The emperor said, “There is no restriction on that. You can say Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake are your pets and battle beasts, but they can’t go in separately.”

Relieved, Qingfeng Li was pleased since Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were powerful and would be great help to him.

Especially Black Puppy. With its sensitive nose, it could clearly smell a familiar scent within 10,000 kilometers and thus could find Xue Lin easily.

Besides, Black Puppy could help him track down the spirit royal spirit herbs, elixirs, and spiritual treasures. It would take him forever to find them by himself.

Qingfeng Li asked, “Emperor, when do we set off for the Sun Mystic Realm?”

The emperor said, “People usually leave for it after the day of the opening, so we will leave tomorrow and all the major forces, sects and the high-tire and super kingdoms across the whole Continent will set off tomorrow.”

Qingfeng Li nodded and set a meeting time with the emperor before returning to their hotel with Mengyao Xu.

He told the whole thing to Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Li Yang, and the Desert Giant.

Li Yang and the Desert Giant looked disappointed and regretful when they heard Qingfeng Li’s words since they had wanted to go with.

Qingfeng Li reached out his hand and patted Li Yang and Desert Giant on their shoulders. He comforted them, “You two don’t need to worry. I will bring you some of the spiritual treasures and spirit herbs from the Sun Mystic Realm.”

Li Yang and the Desert Giant were eventually satisfied, knowing that Qingfeng Li was a man of his words. They would be able to greatly increase their power with the spirit monarch realm spirit herbs and spiritual treasures.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake wagged their tails and came to Qingfeng Li, rubbing against his pant legs.

Black Puppy said, “Qingfeng Li, I know you are the best. You will definitely take me with you.”

Sky-Devouring Snake said from the side, “Black Puppy, stop your brown-nosing. You always mock Qingfeng, but I’ve always been good to him and so he will take me before he takes you.”

Hearing the bickering words between the two guys, Qingfeng Li was amused, saying, “Don’t fight. I’ve decided to take you both with me, but only as my battle beasts or you can’t go in there.”

Black Puppy was not pleased since they were two godly beasts from the ancient times, one was the ancestor of dogs and the other the ancestor of snakes. But thinking of the large number of treasures in the Sun Mystic Realm, it finally nodded and agreed to go as Qingfeng Li’s battle beast.

Meanwhile, besides Lingyun where Qingfeng Li lived, the emperors of other kingdoms, chiefs of major forces, and leaders, elders, and disciples of major sects were also selecting people to enter the Sun Mystic Realm.

In the most northern part of the Crimson Fire Continent, the Dark Ice Sect was also selecting candidates. The sect leader was a beautiful middle-aged woman named Xi Xuan.

More than ten years ago, her husband disappeared when he was exploring a mystic realm. Some guessed he had died and others said that he had been devoured by a spirit monarch realm demon beast after falling off a cliff.

Standing before her were her son Tian Xuan, Xue Lin, and some elders.

The Dark Ice Sect was a famous major sect in the northern Crimson Fire Continent, and Xi Xuan herself was a half-step spirit monarch realm master and was trying to break through into the spirit monarch realm.

But she needed some aid. She hoped they would go into the Sun Mystic Realm and get some treasures to help her break through into the spirit monarch realm.

Looking ahead, Xi Xuan said, “This time the Dark Ice Sect can recommend five people to enter the Sun Mystic Realm. Besides me, Tian Xuan, and Xue Lin, there are two vacancies left.

I’ve decided on the first elder and the second elder to go with us into the Sun Mystic Realm. Does anyone have any objections?”

Hearing her words, the facial expressions of the disciples and other elders outside changed, since they all wanted to go. But considering their weaker cultivation levels, they had to back off, though reluctantly.

Xue Lin’s charming face showed her concern since she had planned to bring the third princess and the prince of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, the Sky Fate Elder and Qixuan Zhenren, but it now seemed not possible.

Xue Lin wasn’t close with Qixuan Zhenren and Sky Fate Elder, but she knew that they were her husband’s important assistants.

Besides, Qixuan Zhenren and the Sky Fate Elder had been severely wounded and wouldn’t live long. Xue Lin had planned to bring them into the mystic realm and find some treasures to extend their lives. But the plan was no plausible now.

Xue Lin swore silently that if she met Qingfeng Li in the Sun Mystic Realm, she will tell him to find some spirit herbs and other treasures that could extend life.

In addition to the Dark Ice Sect, the intermediate kingdoms and sects, high-tier kingdoms and sects, and super kingdoms and sects were also selecting candidates for the expedition.

The most powerful super kingdoms on the Crimson Fire Continent were the Crimson Fire Empire, Blood Sea Empire, Sky-Breaking Empire, and Sky Demon Empire. The four empires were all governed by eighth level spirit royal masters and thus were the most powerful empires within the whole Crimson Fire Continent.

They were allowed to bring five hundred people into the Sun Mystic Realm, and that was why they had acquired most of the spirit monarch realm spiritual treasures, cultivation techniques, elixirs, spirit herbs and other treasures during the previous times when the Sun Mystic Realm had opened.

These treasures had helped these empires grow stronger, aiding more people in breaking through into the spirit monarch realm. In this way, the empires could continue to dominate the whole Crimson Fire Continent.

Besides the four super empires, the high-tier empires and intermediate empires also sent out their spirit monarch realm masters, and some spirit monarch realm sects also showed up.

The winds were up, and clouds were surging, signaling an imminent storm. With the top 200 absolute super fighters on the spirit monarch realm master list coming out, an undercurrent was surging in the whole Crimson Fire Continent. Countless ancient monsters, big devils, and absolute geniuses showed their faces and turned their eyes to the Sun Monarch Mystic Realm.

Chapter 1763: The Junior Madam Also Wants to Go

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

The next day, it was still early, and the sun had yet to rise when Qingfeng Li got up and arrived at the Palace of Lingyun with Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake.

The emperor of Lingyun was waiting for Qingfeng Li with everything ready.

When Qingfeng Li and others saw the emperor, they were surprised to see a group of people standing beside him. The leader of the group was no other but Ya Yun.

Instead of yesterday’s red dress, today Ya Yun was wearing a blue dress which accentuated her figure beautifully. With such a gorgeous figure, she looked good in any dress.

With a frown, Qingfeng Li asked, “Junior Madam, why are you here?”

With a charming smile, Ya Yun extended a slim finger to tuck away some of the hair from her forehead. She said lightly, “I’ve decided to go to the Sun Mystic Realm with you.”

On the side, Mengyao Xu’s eyelashes fluttered slightly and she looked at Ya Yun with caution. She had always thought the woman had some evil designs on Qingfeng Li, and so she wouldn’t allow the woman to get involved with him.

The emperor of Lingyun laughed with discomfort. He had been waiting for Qingfeng Li when Ya Yun came over to him, so he could do nothing about it.

Since Ya Yun was the daughter of the president of the largest business alliance in the Crimson Fire Continent, the Emperor of Lingyun dared not to refuse her.

Walking to the side of Qingfeng Li, the Emperor of Lingyun asked, “Can we go now?”

Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “Of course, but before we go, please issue an imperial edict to take care of my friend, Qingqing Mu.”

Nodding, the emperor of Lingyun immediately had the elderly eunuch beside him issue the imperial edict that Qingqing Mu would become the madam of Daluo City.

Satisfied, Qingfeng Li glanced at the emperor with appreciation.

He took out the spirit ship and boarded it with Mengyao Xu, the Emperor of Lingyun, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake.

Ya Yun and her people didn’t sit with Qingfeng Li. They traveled in another flight spiritual treasure since the seating capacity in Qingfeng Li’s spirit ship was limited.

Go!

With a wave, Qingfeng Li placed 18 supreme vitality rocks on the spirit ship and pressed his hand on the ship with force. The ship emitted a powerful surge of array formation runes and shot up into the sky before flying toward the Sun Monarch Mystic Realm.

Ya Yun also took out a spiritual treasure, which was a flight millstone. Like a big plate, it could accommodate scores of people.

Together with her impressive following of super fighters, Ya Yun boarded the spiritual treasure millstone, which shot up into the sky and followed Qingfeng Li’s spirit ship.

As the daughter of the president of the largest business alliance on the Crimson Fire Continent, Ya Yun could bring 500 people into the mystic realm. She personally led thirty people and the remaining 400 plus people would enter the Sun Mystic Realm with her parents through another route.

Located in the center of the Crimson Fire Continent, the Sun Mystic Realm had once been a hub for the whole Continent. It was also the most important range of mountains which ran millions of kilometers. There had been cities, lakes, mountains, and millions of people living there.

Although most of the constructions were destroyed by the Crimson Fire Emperor, the mystic realm had survived. After all, the Sun Monarch was once the dominator of Mars and possessed great power.

On the spirit ship, the Emperor of Lingyun gave Qingfeng Li a thorough lesson about the Sun Monarch, about his great power and how he governed the planet.

After listening for a long while, Black Puppy curled its lips and said, “Emperor of Lingyun, don’t brag about the Sun Monarch any more. If he had been as amazing as you said, why was he defeated by the Crimson Fire Emperor, leaving his physical body destroyed?”

With an embarrassed smile, the Emperor of Lingyun explained, “There is something you don’t know. At that time, the Sun Monarch was trying to turn into a saint and thus advance our planet into a saint planet. But he failed and was wounded, which was how he was defeated by the Crimson Fire Emperor. No saint has appeared on Mars for the last 50,000 years.”

Nodding, Qingfeng Li had a newfound respect for the Sun Monarch since he knew it was extremely difficult to turn into a saint.

The Sun Monarch’s brave efforts showed that he was an ambitious self-cultivator and an unrivaled genius.

On the way, Qingfeng Li saw many other self-cultivators. Some were traveling on flight dharma treasures, some were riding on flying demon beasts while some were just running on the ground.

No matter which traveling methods they used, they were moving towards the center of the Crimson Fire Continent as fast as gusts of wind.

Night fell, and the surroundings had become pitch black, except for the twinkling star-light shining on the ground.

After a day’s flight, Qingfeng Li and the others were fatigued. They stopped on a mountain.

Long-distance travel was exhausting even for Qingfeng Li since he had to control the spirit ship which was a supreme realm flight spiritual treasure and consumed a lot of spirit energy and vital essence.

He could replenish his vital essence with the supreme vitality rocks, but the ship also consumed his spirit energy since others’ spirit energy couldn’t control such a long flight.

They stopped on the mountain to rest. After killing some demon beasts, they took out a big iron pot and made a fire to make a barbecue. Shortly, a tempting aroma of roasted meat filled the air.

Ya Yun led her people to Qingfeng Li’s campfire.

She touched her nose with her slim right hand and whispered, “It smells so good. I’m surprised by your excellent cooking skills.”

With a smile, Qingfeng Li tore off a demon beast leg and handed it to them.

Ya Yun was reserved at first but she couldn’t resist the tempting aroma and the crispy look of the meat and took a bite of it. The meat melted in her mouth and the taste was divine.

Around Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake were devouring the meat in their hands since they were quite familiar with Qingfeng Li’s unrivaled culinary skills.

After supper, they rested on the mountain. More accurately, they were cultivating to restore their strength.

Qingfeng Li didn’t cultivate, only watching Mengyao Xu cultivate the Fairy Chant and observing how the silver sparkles of light from the Fairy Star in the heavens entered her body.

Ya Yun was also cultivating an advanced cultivation technique that collected sparkles of starlight from the sky.

Looking up at the Conqueror Star in the sky, Qingfeng Li fell deep in thought. He missed not only Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu, but his parents as well.

His father was once the conqueror on the Conqueror Star, but he had gone to the 3,000 Grand Worlds to look for Qingfeng’s mother. One day, Qingfeng Li would go there too; it was his ultimate goal.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li was watching the stars, Ya Yun walked over. With a smile, she asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Without looking at her, Qingfeng Li said, “I’m thinking about my wife.”

Puchi!

Ya Yun giggled merrily as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Ya Yun’s belly started hurting from laughter and she dropped to the ground, weak with laughter. She said, “Qingfeng Li, what are you talking about? Thinking about your wife? I know you are single!”

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li said, “Believe it or not, I was thinking about my wife, Xue Lin.”

Ya Yun shook her head, still in disbelief. She knew Qingfeng Li had been looking for Xue Lin, but she didn’t believe that Xue Lin was his wife.

On the other side, Mengyao Xue had been practicing. When she heard the conversation between Ya Yun and Qingfeng Li, she became jealous since Xue Lin was the one woman she was most wary about.

It was because Xue Lin was Qingfeng Li’s legal wife and the most important person in his heart. No matter where she was, she was the one Qingfeng Li missed the most.

Mengyao Xu also stopped her cultivation. She stood up and walked toward Qingfeng Li since she couldn’t leave Qingfeng Li and Ya Yun alone with each other. Who knew what sparks would fly between them?

With a smile, Mengyao Xu sat between Qingfeng Li and Ya Yun before asking, “What are you talking about? Share it with me.”

Seeing Mengyao Xu join them, Ya Yun was startled. She had planned to have a good chat with Qingfeng Li and try to draw Qingfeng Li over with her beauty.

Her plan was approved by her father who said Qingfeng Li was extraordinary since his combat abiltiy far exceeded his. No one had such talent, except perhaps the Sun Monarch from 5,000 years before.

Ya Yun’s father told her to build a good relationship with Qingfeng Li at any price, even if it meant she had to sacrifice her body for it.

Having great control of her emotions, Ya Yun still talked with Mengyao Xu in a low voice, though she was quite resentful of her interruption. However, they still looked quite intimate while they talked and laughed.

Sitting beside them, Qingfeng Li knew they were actually fighting, since their words were full of traps for the other party to fall into.

Qingfeng Li became speechless, wondering why they were bickering each time they met, just like Ruyan Liu and Xue Lin who would try to gain the upper hand whenever they saw each other.

Time went by with the bickering between Ya Yun and Mengyao Xu. When the day broke, everyone was refreshed.

Qingfeng Li had restored his spirit energy, so he went back to navigating the spirit ship to the center of the Crimson Fire Continent with Mengyao Xu and others.

The center of the Crimson Fire Continent was very far away, and it would take half a month even if they were riding the spirit ship.

Half a month later, Qingfeng Li and others finally arrived in a city 1,000 miles away from the Sun Mystic Realm. The city was called Sun Spirit City and many self-cultivators stopped here to rest.

The walls of the Sun Spirit City ran on for tens of thousands of miles and the city had millions of permanent residents living inside. It was a famous super-level city on the Crimson Fire Continent.

Five thousand years ago, Sun Spirit City had been the center of the whole Crimson Fire Continent. With many spirit monarch realm self-cultivators cultivating and gaining breakthroughs here, it was also called the First City.

But the city had begun to decline 5,000 years ago. Still, it was large enough to rank in the top 20 big cities across the whole Crimson Fire Continent.

The city walls were built with the sun spirit rocks and they still shone a red sun-like luster after 5,000 years had passed. Smooth and hard, every rock on the walls was several hundred square meters in size.

The walls were hundreds of meters high with a large number of gate towers. In the city, the streets were paved with sun meteorite rocks, which were even harder than the sun spirit rocks. As tier seven rocks, they could only be shaped by spirit monarch realm masters, while ordinary supreme realm masters could do nothing to them no matter how hard they tried.

At the gate, Qingfeng Li and others were stopped by the guards and had to pay 100 vitality rocks before they were allowed into the city.

As the first stop before entering the Sun Mystic Realm, the city was the place where people stopped to replenish their elixirs, spiritual treasures, weapons, talismans, and spirit herbs; no one would pass up this opportunity.

According to a legend, the Sun Monarch of 5,000 years ago had been born in the Sun Spirit City and had broken through into the spirit monarch realm here.

After entering the Sun Spirit City, Qingfeng Li stepped hard on the ground and found that he couldn’t leave a mark on the stones. He was astonished at the great power of the legendary Sun Meteorite rocks.

Looking around, he found the streets had a width that reached scores of meters, which was wide enough for five carriages to ride on side by side.

The wide streets were all paved with sun meteorite rocks and one could only imagine the immensity of the project. The legendary Sun Monarch was indeed extravagant.

The sides of the busy streets were lined with many shops selling elixirs, dharma treasures, Taoist talismans, spirit herbs, cultivation techniques and weapons, etc.

All these would provide the newly arrived self-cultivators an opportunity to increase their strength before they entered the Sun Mystic Realm.

Qingfeng Li was not interested in the spiritual treasures, elixirs, and spirit herbs since he had brought many of those with him. He continued forward, preparing to find a hotel to rest.

Suddenly, the group saw many self-cultivators ahead blocking their way. They were watching something while talking among themselves.

Curious, Qingfeng Li, Ya Yun and Mengyao Xu walked forward and found a tall stone tablet with a height of a dozen meters.

The black stone tablet was made with seven tier meteorite rocks, which was a different color from the red sun meteorite rocks. On the black stone tablet were engraved two characters: Devil List.

Qingfeng Li was speechless at the sight of the characters wondering why people were still talking about devils when they were about to enter the Sun Mystic Realm.

But in the next moment Qingfeng Li was displeased since he found his name was listed on the black stone tablet. His name was ranked the 108th on the Devil List.

“F**k! Why am I a devil? I’m a such a nice person! I should be listed on the Nice Person List,” disgruntled, Qingfeng Li cussed silently.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were snickering. They were joyous when they saw Qingfeng Li’s name on the Devil List.

Angry, Qingfeng Li gave a kick to each of them and sent them flying.

Scores of meters high, the Devil List was a big stone tablet made of a special seventh tier meteorite rocks, making it a spiritual treasure.

From the 1st place to the 200th place, the meteorite tablet listed the names and rankings of the self-cultivators and the numbers of people they had killed.

The people on the Devil List came from all over the Crimson Fire Continent, including self-cultivators of all the kingdoms and sects. They came from all kinds of sources such as orthodox forces, devilish forces, demon forces, and unorthodox forces.

Around the tablet were thousands of self-cultivators from all over the Crimson Fire Continent on their way to the Sun Mystic Realm. They were all talking about the Devil List.

“Have you seen it? The first devil on the list is the Blood Devil Monarch from 5,000 years ago. He was extremely powerful.”

“I’ve only heard legends about him. We don’t even know if he’s dead or not.”

“The one I’m really interested in is Qingfeng Li, who is a rising star in the big devils. Don’t you know that?”

“He killed 4 million self-cultivators and that’s why he rocketed to the 108th place. He’s our idol among all the devils and villains.”

Some scoundrels and villains of self-cultivators were talking about their idol Qingfeng Li.

Beside them, Qingfneg Li heard their conversation and almost passed out with fury.

He regarded himself as a model among orthodox self-cultivators and wondered how he had become an idol for the scoundrels.

Not knowing the background of the Devil List, Qingfeng Li asked Ya Yun standing beside him, “Young Madam, can you tell me about the Devil List?”

Ya Yun said, “The Devil List is a list for all the scoundrels among the self-cultivators in the past 5,000 years on the Crimson Fire Continent. The villains who have killed a lot of people are included in the list but it only lists the top 200 self-cultivators according to the number of their murders. It’s extraordinary that you are listed at the 108th place.”

Speechless, Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, thinking it was nothing to be happy about since the others on the Devil List were all evil killers.

Seeing the displeasure on Qingfeng Li’s face, Ya Yun was amused. She comforted him, “Qingfeng Li, it’s not what you think. Based on the numbers of their killings, the top 200 devils were selected from the billions of self-cultivators on the whole Continent in the past 5,000 years. Your reputation as the 108th devil has spread all over the Continent.”

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake couldn’t stifle their mirth. They said mockingly, “You always think of yourself as a good guy, but now you are on the Devil List.”

Enraged, Qingfeng Li again kicked them with his right foot and sent them flying.

After some careful consideration, Qingfeng Li was startled at a thought. He asked, “Ya Yun, I only rank the 108th place when I’ve killed four emperors and four million self-cultivator soldiers. I wonder how many people the first devil on the list has killed.”

Ya Yun glanced at Qingfeng Li and said, “Now you finally see the difference between yourself and the people before you on the list. You think you killed a lot of people, but actually, it’s only a small number compared with the first devil on the list, the Blood Devil Monarch.

The Blood Devil Monarch was a super fighter 5,000 years ago, a peer of the Crimson Fire Emperor and the Sun Monarch. He had alone killed a billion self-cultivators and destroyed ten thousand cities, hundreds of kingdoms and sects on the Crimson Fire Continent. After killing them, he would swallow the blood and flesh of the self-cultivators and turn them into mummies.”

Hearing her explanation, Qingfeng Li was dumbfounded until horror filled his eyes.

He had thought he was cruel, but compared with the number one devil, the Blood Devil Monarch, who had killed one billion self-cultivators, he was far from cruel.

Under the first place, the second place belonged to Killing Emperor who had killed 800 million self-cultivators and destroyed millions of kingdoms and cities.

From the third place to the 107th place, each of the devils was notorious for a large number of killings. The devil on the 107th place, one place higher than Qingfeng Li, had killed 5 million self-cultivators.

Qingfeng Li was dazed with horror at the great number of killings of each big devil on the Devil List. But when he thought it was a list for the past 5,000 years, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Stop reading the list and let’s find a hotel for the night. Then we will ask about the Sun Mystic Realm. Since the Sun Monarch once lived here, we can surely find some of his trails in the city.”

With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li led Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake forward.

Most of the hotels in the Sun Spirit City were crammed with guests from the major forces major sects, high tier kingdoms, and intermediate kingdoms.

They had come earlier than Qingfeng Li and had taken up most of the hotels. And that’s why it took Qingfeng Li a long while to find a hotel.

One hour later, with sweat all over his face, Qingfeng Li finally found a hotel at the far corner of the street. It had a nice name, Peach Blossom Hotel.

The owner of Peach Blossom Hotel was a woman in her thirties. With a charming face, snow-white skin, and a gorgeous figure, she was quite attractive.

Seeing Qingfeng Li and the others enter the hotel, the landlady’s eyes lit up. When her eyes rested on Qingfeng Li’s handsome face, they emitted a greedy green light as if she was a hungry wolf spotting a delicious lamb.

With a sway of her slim waist, the landlady strode over and asked, “Hi, handsome! Do you need a room?”

Ya Yun and Mengyao Xu glared at the landlady with displeasure.

Mengyao Xu took a step forward, saying, “Step away from Brother Li. Do you have rooms for us?”

Glancing at Mengyao Xu coolly, the landlady said, “I have a room for this handsome guy, but I don’t have room for you.”

A flash of rage appeared in Mengyao Xu’s eyes.

Circulating the vital essence in her body, she shot out a blue beam of energy with her right hand. It tore open the air and shot toward the landlady.

Elegantly, the landlady blew out a breath and shattered Mengyao Xu’s beam of energy, which scattered into blue sparks of light into the air.

Mengyao Xu was forced back several steps before she regained her balance.

Mengyao Xu’s expression changed drastically, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes. Although she was only at the sixth level of the thesupreme realm, she possessed great combat ability with her immortal cultivation techniques that could even defeat an eighth level supreme realm master. She wondered how strong the landlady was.

Qingfeng Li’s pupils contracted slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes. He found the landlady’s attack was launched so casually that even he himself wouldn’t be able to replicate it.

A flash of chilling light appeared in Mengyao Xu’s eyes because she had never been forced back like this since she awakened her fairy memories from her previous life.

The Fairy Cultivation Techniques she practiced was extremely powerful. It was an immortal cultivation chant from the heavenly Fairy Star that allowed her to absorb starlight when she cultivated. Even an ordinary eighth level supreme realm master was not her match. But a moment ago she had been forced back by this mysterious woman.

Mengyao Xu was proud and wouldn’t admit defeat easily. She decided to teach the landlady a lesson and give her a taste of her power.

Channeling the Fairy Chant in her body, Mengyao Xu shot a beam of silver light from her eyes. Like a flash of lightning, the beam of silver light shot toward the landlady instantly.

With a careless wave of her hand, the landlady formed a white protective light shield blocking Mengyao Xu’s silver light attack.

Mengyao Xu’s attack of the immortal cultivation technique was so powerful that it forced the landlady back one step.

A trace of surprise appeared in the landlady’s eyes. She said, “Amazing. Your powerful cultivation technique forced me back one step.”

Mengyao Xu was more astonished than her. In the past, she could easily kill or at least severely wound her rival with the silver light beam. But the landlady was so powerful that she had only been forced back one step.

Qingfeng Li transmitted a message to the Dark Night Emperor, asking, “Senior, what level is this landlady? I can’t understand why she is so powerful.”

Dark Night Emperor replied, “Little one, of course you don’t understand. The landlady is not a supreme realm master, but a half-step spirit monarch realm master. The huge difference between the spirit monarch realm and the supreme realm is beyond your understanding.”

Qingfeng Li was stunned. He had not expected a landlady in a hotel to be a half-step spirit monarch realm master.

Although Qingfeng Li was unrivaled across the supreme realm, he was not sure he could defeat a half-step spirit monarch realm master. After all, they were one realm apart.

A spirit monarch realm master would have understood the Heavenly Dao Rules of the Great Emperor, which was knowledge not accessible to supreme realm masters.

After self-cultivators broke through into the spirit monarch realm, including the half-step spirit monarch realm, they would be able to make use of nature suppression and presence. An ordinary person was absolutely no match for them.

Sighing, Qingfeng Li knew Mengyao Xu was no match for the landlady since her strength was far inferior to her rival, even though her cultivation techniques were more advanced.

He walked forward and caught Mengyao Xu by her arm, saying, “Don’t attack anymore. You are no match for the landlady.”

Mengyao Xu’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes were full of bafflement. She didn’t understand why Qingfeng Li said she was not her rival’s match since she had not unleashed her full strength yet.

With a sigh, Qingfeng Li said, “The landlady is a half-step spirit monarch realm master who has understood the Heavenly Dao Rules of the Great Emperor. Currently, you are no match for her.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s explanation, Mengyao Xu finally gave up, knowing her strength was inferior to a half-step spirit monarch realm master. But she was sure Qingfeng Li would find a solution for her. She turned her pleading glance at Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li reached out a hand and touched her cheek, saying, “Don’t worry. I will find a way for you to stay with me.”

Qingfeng Li said to the landlady, “You said you would only provide me with accommodation but not to the women with me. But your hotel is supposed to be open to everyone. Today we all want to stay here.”

The landlady giggled, and her charming face revealed her playfulness. She said, “Handsome, your eyes are sharp since you could see the level of my power. But I won’t allow your women to stay in the hotel unless you can block one attack from me.”

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li said, “Fine. I want to see the power of a half-step spirit monarch realm master.”

Standing one meter away from the landlady, Qingfeng Li waited for her attack quietly.

With a sway of her slim waist and a pink blush on her charming face, the landlady strolled to face Qingfeng Li. Extending her right hand, she slashed it toward him.

Qingfeng Li channeled the vital essence in his body and was planning to launch the Strangle Hell Fist. But he lowered his fist because he found the landlady’s hand contained no strength or vital essence.

Instead of a slap, the landlady reached out her snow-white palm and touched his face. It was a tease.

Qingfeng Li stood there in a daze, thinking that he had been taken advantage by the beautiful landlady.

On the side, Mengyao Xu pursed her lips with fury. She had known the landlady had some evil designs on Qingfeng Li since he was handsome and young.

Seeing the angry expression on Mengyao Xu’s face and the dazed expression on Qingfeng Li’s face, the landlady giggled joyously.

Walking to Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy reached out its paw and clutched his pant leg, whispering, “Qingfeng Li, you have been taken advantage by a woman. Hahaha! It’s a good payback since you take advantage of women all the time.”

Qingfeng Li was not pleased that he had been touched on the face by a half-step spirit monarch realm beauty. Black Puppy’s mocking words put fuel to the fire.

Extending his right foot, Qingfeng Li gave Black Puppy a hard kick which sent it flying for a dozen meters.

“Hahaha! Peach Blossom She-Devil, you are teasing people again. When will you stop this bad habit?”

“Peach Blossom She-Devil, you know I like you best. How could you do this to another man?”

“Peach Blossom She-Devil, only devils are allowed in the hotel. Why don’t you drive them away?”

Suddenly, laughter came from outside and a group of people strode in.

There were about a dozen of them, consisting of both men and women, but all of them were evil looking while some had scars on their face. Some wore short shirts and some even had human heads in their hands. All of them emitted intense killing intent.

Qingfeng Li turned to look and was startled when he saw the group of murderous people because he sensed that each of their presences was no weaker than his.

At the mention of the name Peach Blossom She-Devil, the Emperor of Lingyun and Ya Yun changed their expressions sharply and a trace of astonishment flashed in their eyes.
