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.
