"The water's temperature is rising again?" Hua Litong murmured to herself while staring at a boiling river before her.
After walking upstream along the river for a day, she noticed the river's temperature had continued to rise. At this mont, she was certain it had already reached over 100 Celsius.
"Is it related to the sun-like object? It must be!" Hua Litong's eyes lit up when she connected the rising temperature to the sun-like object from her mother's words.
"Maybe this place is the real mythical realm's core?" She ca to a conclusion and beca ecstatic all of a sudden.
Hua Litong increased her pace in the hope she could reach the center area soon. Suddenly, she paused her step, drawing the sword out, and said coldly in a certain direction ahead of her. "Who?"
"Sister Litong?" A female silhouette erged behind the wall and exclaid in surprise.
"Sister ngli?" Hua Litong was surprised as well. She didn't expect to see Yang ngli here.
Both of them were the sa generation. Since Yang Chen and Hua Wanru had been in love with each other, the relationship between Yang ngli and Hua Litong was naturally getting closer. They could be considered a good friend.
"How have you been?" Hua Litong put her sword back and approached Yang ngli with a smile.
"I'm good. I'm trying to find my brother right now." Yang ngli answered. She paused for a mont and asked further, "How long have you been here?"
"I've arrived here yesterday. What about you?" Hua Litong replied.
"I've been tracing Luo Kun for several days but I lost him now." Yang ngli then lowered her head apologetically. "I'm sorry, Sister Litong. I can't bring Wanru back from Luo Kun." She saw Hua Wanru together with Luo Kun, but she alone didn't have enough strength to rescue her.
"Is she okay?" Hua Litong hurriedly asked. Her face was full of worry.
Yang ngli nodded her head. "She should be fine. I think she's already separated from Luo Kun after coming here. Along the way, I've killed three people from the Luo clan and they didn't seem to know Luo Kun and Wanru's whereabouts."
Hua Litong let out a sigh of relief. She said, "That's good… Did you find a black jade from those n?"
Yang ngli took out the black transmission jade and said, "This one?"
Hua Litong explained, "Yes. People from the Luo clan can use this jade to contact each other. Before coming here, Yun Lintian had modified our transmission jade by using this black jade as an example. Now, we can contact each other."
"Senior Yun? He can do this too?" Yang ngli was surprised... What kind of enchanting talent is this? Not only he has high attainnt of dical profound art, but he is also a talented inscriber too? She didn't know what to say anymore.
Hua Litong nodded firmly, "Yes. He is a true genius… I'll contact him now. Maybe he has already t the others."
She then took the transmission jade out and tried to contact Yun Lintian. However, there was no response after waiting for a full minute.
Hua Litong frowned. "Did he encounter sothing?" She then switched to contact Yun Chan, but the result was still the sa. There was no response to her.
The frown on Hua Litong's face grew deeper. She tried again. This ti she contacted Yun Li. "Sister Yun Li, are you there?"
"Sister Hua? We encountered Luo Kun and his n. Currently, we're together with Young Master Yang Chen. Sister Chan and Sister Ting are heavily injured." Yun Li's voice rang out from the other side.
Both Hua Litong and Yang ngli glanced at each other with serious expressions. Hua Litong asked, "Where is Luo Kun? Did you manage to kill him?"
"No. Young Master Yang Chen said he ran away." Yun Li replied.
"Understood. Please find a place to recuperate first." Hua Litong said with a heavy tone.
"Let's go. We need to increase our pace." Hua Litong didn't wait for Yang ngli to reply, she speedily walked forward while Yang ngli following closely behind.

"What a beautiful place." Yun Lintian exclaid while looking at the surroundings.
When he first stepped into this place through the middle door, a faint heatwave imdiately hit his face, following by a bright light that could possibly blind him. However, when the mysterious rat raised its hand slightly, everything had disappeared instantly, and an artistically designed hall appeared in Yun Lintian's vision.
The hall was spacious, estimating three hundred square ters. The marble wall was painted in crimson color and there were lifelike-fire patterns all over the place. The first thing that attracted Yun Lintian the most was a crimson throne at the center of the hall. He could sohow feel an imposing aura kept emanating from it. Compared to Misty Cloud's throne, this crimson throne was bigger and had a better design.
The mont Yun Lintian raised his head to look at the triangular ceiling, he was taken aback upon seeing a red-colored orb floating above the transparent roof, giving off heat waves from ti to ti.
"Is this the so-called The Sun?" Yun Lintian muttered with a frown. Now, he firmly believed this place was the center of the mythical realm.
He turned to the rat. "Didn't you just say you don't know about this?"
The rat tilted its head slightly before shrugging its shoulders innocently.
"Oh? You know how to act innocent now?" Yun Lintian laughed slightly. He felt this rat was too adorable. He asked further, "Then do you know Blazing Sun Monarch?" He asked this because he thought this rat should have a connection with Blazing Sun Monarch in a way. Otherwise, how could it open the door easily?
The rat seed to ponder for a mont before it shook its head and then raised its tiny hand toward Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian was speechless. He helplessly took several portions of beef out and gave it to the rat. "Here you go. Do you want to cook it for you?"
The rat hesitated for a while before nodding in the end.
Yun Lintian found a suitable place to set up a simple fireplace and started to cook. During this period, he kept his eyes on The Sun from ti to ti to find a clue about it. From the Blazing Sun Monarch's ranting diary, The Sun was left behind by 'that person' and was guarded by Blazing Sun Monarch, waiting for the 'he' to arrive in this place.
Yun Lintian wasn't delusional enough to think he was the chosen one. After all, he didn't even have any cheat device until now. Although the silver necklace on his neck might be the cheat device he was hoping for, he didn't think it was related to The Sun.
A while later, Yun Lintian handed steaks to the rat and decided to look around the place. He started with the crimson throne first.
Boom!
The mont he drew closer to the crimson throne, a powerful gust of heat burst out and blasted Yun Lintian away several ters.
"What the heck!?" Yun Lintian exclaid angrily. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and didn't get any injury when he landed on the ground.
"What's going on?" Yun Lintian turned to ask the rat.
The rat was busy eating the steaks heartily. When it saw Yun Lintian got blasted away, a smirk appeared on its lips, as if it was mocking him.
Yun Lintian was speechless when he saw this. He moved to the rat and tried to put all the steaks away, but the rat nimbly avoided him to the side and continued to eat.
Yun Lintian gritted his teeth and swore in his heart to pay back at the rat later. He turned toward the crimson throne once again. This ti he carefully approached it with small steps.
Boom!
Yun Lintian got blasted once again, but it allowed him to get a piece of information. He could not get within 20 ters of the crimson throne. Otherwise, he would get blasting out instantly.
"What should I do?" Yun Lintian touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Now he was certain there was sothing on the crimson throne. It could be a secret of this place or a treasure. Hence, he had to find a way to get near it.
He glanced at the rat and let out a sigh. "Tell . What do you need?" Naturally, the fastest way was to let the rat solve the problem for him.
The rat smirked and raised its hand toward Yun Lintian, asking for more food.
"Hey, I still need to eat, okay? I don't have much food left… How about this knife?" Yun Lintian pulled out the knife he got from the treasure room before.
The rat rolled its eyes as if it said, "Didn't you just take it away from earlier? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Yun Lintian sighed in disappointnt. It seed the rat was not stupid. He looked at the food in his interspatial ring and finally brought a chicken out. "Here. Do you want to cook it for you?"
The rat sniffed at the chicken slightly and felt it wasn't fragrant as the steaks, but it still gave a nod in the end.
Yun Lintian sighed helplessly and set up another fireplace… How did I suddenly beco this rat's personal chef? He wondered.
Twenty minutes later, Yun Lintian finished cooking a simple grilled chicken and handed it to the rat. The latter couldn't resist the garlic and pepper aroma as it quickly took a big bite on the golden-brown grilled chicken.
Yun Lintian patiently watched the rat eating happily without saying anything. The grilled chicken was gone in two minutes, leaving its white bones on the floor.
"It's ti to do your job now." Yun Lintian said to the big belly rat.
The rat glared back at him in dissatisfaction but still did as promised. It slowly walked toward the crimson throne and tapped gently on an invisible barrier 20 ters before the throne. Instantaneously, Yun Lintian felt there was sothing disappeared from the place. The invisible barrier had gone completely.
Yun Lintian followed the rat behind. When they arrived in front of the throne, Yun Lintian could see an exquisite fire pattern that was carefully engraved on it. It was the design that a zero point on art subject like Yun Lintian couldn't understand.
While Yun Lintian appreciating the crimson throne, a trace of lancholy flashed across the rat's eyes when it gazed at the throne. Its expression was entirely different from before — its current appearance had resembled human more than a simple rat.
Naturally, Yun Lintian failed to notice it. His attention was solely focused on the crimson throne as he searched for its secret. Later, he couldn't find anything and turned to the rat. "Is there any secret on this throne?"
The rat didn't react to Yun Lintian's question, but it reached its hand out to touch the crimson throne gently. Following that, the pattern on the crimson throne suddenly glowed in crimson light, causing Yun Lintian to subconsciously take a step back.
"Finally, you've co." Suddenly, an ancient voice echoed throughout the hall.
