Once a person beca famous, it was easy for him to beco popular wherever he went.
The three words “Xu Que’s father” were quite well-known in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm, and here their influence was higher than in the Ziwei Celestial Realm.
For example, when Xu Que walked out of the Jade Lake, he imdiately aroused many people’s attention.
Xu Que’s group followed Bai Cailing into Tianxiang City’s center to use the Teleportation Device. As they arrived there, many people encircled them and observed them.
“Oh! Is that old man the legendary Xu Que’s father. He’s so bold and imperious!”
“What is bold and imperious about him? When we saw him for the first ti, didn’t you say that he looked sickly?”
“This is a different matter. We currently know his true power, and we know his ferocity.”
“Ah! But, where do you think they are planning to go?”
“Oh, my God, does this group want to stir up trouble once again? Now, even Bai Cailing of the Jade Lake is traveling with them.”
“Bai Cailing is his daughter-in-law, so it isn’t strange for her to travel with him. But have you noticed sothing?”
“What?”
“Why is Elder Xu so fond of taking his daughters-in-law with him wherever he goes? Look over there. First it was Liu Jingning, and now she has been followed by Bai Cailing. In the future, he might even add the Heavenly Kist Body, Jiang Hongyan.”
“Wow! It seems like Elder Xu is quite playful.”
“This is probably his hobby, and he’s fond of strolling with his daughters-in-law.”
The crowd started discussing this matter spiritedly, and when Xu Que’s group stepped into the Teleportation Device and left Tianxiang City, the crowd’s discussion beca even more daring, and soone even uttered sothing like, “Xu Que’s father is fond of strolling with his daughters-in-law.”
However, such careless chitchat caught many people’s interests, and while Xu Que’s group rushed toward the Mystery Land, these words spread to the whole of Tianxiang City in several days, even to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm.
If Xu Que ran into soone next ti he visited and greeted him, that guy would probably say, “Huh, Elder Xu, are you strolling with your daughters-in-law once again?” This might quickly beco normal.
.....
After several days, Xu Que managed to reach the land next to the Mystery Land ntioned by Bai Cailing.
This Mystery Land had existed since ti immorial, and there were records about it that went back several hundred thousand years, and it was called by the ancestors “Lihuo Mystery Land”.
It was said that this land was the abode of a certain generation’s Fire God, and it had a giant mountain that was engulfed all year round by flas. It was called Fire Mountain, and its fire had never been extinguished.
However, what was strange about this mountain’s flas was that they didn’t have any warmth. Even when cultivators approached them, they didn’t detect any rise in temperature. But they still ended up burning to ashes among the flas in an inexplicable way, losing their lives.
After a long ti passed, people started taking notice of Fire Mountain’s peculiarities, and they didn’t dare to approach it any longer. They only looked around for anything lucky in the mountain’s vicinity or hunted down so Demonic Beasts that were born there.
These Demonic Beasts all had a common trait, and it was that they were all born in Fire Mountain, and their Bestial Core possessed powerful Fire Elent Celestial Core Power. This was quite helpful to cultivators who trained in Fire Magic Arts. This was why this Mystery Land had stayed popular among cultivators for many years.
Even the Divine Farr Clan’s geniuses constantly ca here from the Taiyin Celestial Realm, and they traveled for thousands of miles to train here. Moreover, they might even have gotten a great lucky chance here long ago and found the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines in a secluded region. They then started planting the vines on a large scale. Every so often,they would make the trip here in order to harvest the vines.
On the voyage, Bai Cailing inford Xu Que of all relevant information related to this Mystery Land. After he had listened to her, he got quite interested in this place. After all, this land had a Mystical Fire. But, since Xu Que had already cultivated to a high stage, Mystical Fire’s greater function for him was limited to concocting elixirs or making artifacts. And even though it still possessed a certain might when used for offense, it wasn’t as terrifying as in the past, and it didn’t possess a might great enough to crush his opponents or kill them instantly.
“It seems as if, after I get the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, I must take a look at Fire Mountain. If I get an unusual fire, it could be quite interesting.” Xu Que spoke to himself.
A market had been built by people in front of the Mystery Land’s entrance, and it was filled with inns and stores. Many cultivators lived here all year round!
However, Xu Que didn’t choose to rest here because he was having a hard ti maintaining the two souls in the Firestorm Wheels. He had previously used up the remaining 30 Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines, and the souls could only persist for three days. After three days, the two souls would start dissipating once again.
This was why Xu Que didn’t have enough ti to rest, and he imdiately asked Bai Cailing to show them the way. They entered into the Mystery Land directly!
Their group’s arrival attracted the attention of many people. As a matter of fact, most people had just heard about the deeds of Xu Que’s father, and they couldn’t recognize him. However, this was a different case for Bai Cailing, because she was the Jade Lake Saint. She couldn’t just be recognized in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm, but she would be recognized imdiately in all of the other 13 Celestial Realms.
At this mont, Bai Cailing was traveling with Xu Que and his companions, and, after they passed through the Mystery Land’s entrance, the crowd quickly reacted.
“F*ck! I was just wondering why the few people in this team seed familiar-looking. Is it possible that they are Xu Que’s father, Buttface, and Duan Jiude?”
“It seems like it’s them. A rumor has spread recently that Xu Que’s father has co to the Tianxiang Celestial Realm once again.”
“You don’t have to make guesses about this matter, as who can travel along with Saint Bai Cailing other than Xu Que’s father?”
“That is really the case, and it’s because she is his daughter-in-law.”
“Now that you ntion it, several days ago, the Divine Farr Clan’s mbers ca here once again. This ti, Yi Fang ca over, and he’s one of the most promising candidates for the Divine Farr Clan’s new generation of Divine Son. Will he also be killed by Xu Que’s father?”
“Ha, ha, it’s surely unlikely. The whole Divine Farr Clan gave in, and, this ti, if those people saw Xu Que’s father, they would probably make a detour around him.”
.....
anwhile, in the Lihuo Mystery Land, the group had arrived.
Xu Que’s group had entered with no problems. There weren’t any Restriction Spells set on the entrance. But, after they had traveled for a while, a plain filled with giant boulders appeared in front of them. They were forced to stop in their tracks because they discerned that sothing was amiss.
“F*ck! It seems like there is a natural spell here,” Buttface frowned and spoke.
“As a matter of fact, this land was at the beginning a divine spell. However, it withered away with the passing of ti, before it started fusing with the world gradually. Now, it has already turned into a natural spell.” Bai Cailing revealed a faint smile. “But, we still have a way to pass through this spell, and it will save us a lot of ti.”
After she spoke, she waved her delicate hand and used a lantern. It was unexpectedly a Ninth Grade Magic Weapon!
A fla was burning within the lantern, and wisps of smoke were coming out of it. They seed quite distinct!
“Elder Xu, so illusions may sotis appear within this spell, and you won’t even manage to see the people next to you. This was why after you enter, don’t pay attention to what anyone says. You just have to follow this lantern or the smoke.” Bai Cailing looked at Xu Que and instructed him softly.
“Okay!” Xu Que nodded and asked Bai Cailing to show them the way.
Bai Cailing didn’t bother with speaking further, and she turned around to step into the plain, where she was followed by Xu Que’s group.
The next mont, as Xu Que stepped into the plain, his surroundings instantly changed. They turned from a plain filled with rocks into an ancient city, or, more accurately, a deserted city.
The city was quite shabby, and most of its buildings and roads hadn’t been repaired for a long ti. This deserted and uninhabited city emitted an archaic air. As for Buttface, Liu Jingning, and the others that entered with him, they all disappeared thoroughly. But, a wisp of smoke was still rising several streets ahead of him, and it was quite distinct.
If Bai Cailing hadn’t inford Xu Que beforehand that such a situation would occur, he might have really fallen into a trap.
Xu Que promptly strode forward and followed the smoke.
However, after Xu Que had just taken several steps, his body ca to a stop next to a shabby smithy.
The flas of the stove in the smithy had been extinguished innurable years ago. But a pair of eyes was unexpectedly in this area, and they were staring attentively at him.
