The space around him warped, and An Lin found himself on a crimson continent.
Behind him, the white gate of light slowly shrank before finally disappearing.
Dark red clouds stretched as far as the eye could see. From time to time, scorching flames would burst through the clouds, or explode in the air, or rain would fall like a crimson curtain of rain, baring its fangs to the world.
The surrounding temperature was extremely high, and the air twisted and warped soundlessly. If a cultivator of the Dao Body Stage were to appear here, they probably wouldn't even be able to last fifteen minutes.
"Looks like Ji Yongfang, Shangguan Yi, and Yang Yuan have all gone off to search for projections of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing." Mo Hai stood beside An Lin with a smile.
"New projections of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing materialize every few years, so there are very few of them. The six of us are competitors, so of course they have to take advantage of this opportunity," Lu Jiazhi replied in an unhurried manner.
An Lin stared at the vast expanse of mountains in the distance, and he was a little dazed. "I heard that there is a certain chance that the projections of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing are contained within the bodies of the powerful mutant beasts within the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds, and they can also be found in mystic realms and perilous realms. Lastly, there are projections of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing in the clouds in the sky.
"However, the projections of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing in the clouds are the most elusive, and they are constantly being attacked by the fearsome power of flames. Which path do you guys plan on taking?"
Mo Hai looked up into the sky with a resigned expression. "I'm not Sister Xu Xiaolan, so I'll just forget about the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing in the clouds. I plan on fighting mutant beasts! That's the simplest and most violent method! "
"I'll go to the western mystic realms and perilous realms. After all, my combat prowess isn't that great, but I'm pretty good at self-defense," Lu Jiazhi replied.
There were all kinds of unstable mystic realms and perilous realms in the western region of the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds. There were all kinds of powerful ancient mutant beasts in the northern region, and there was a boundless sea of crimson flames in the eastern region. Apparently, there were extremely powerful mystic treasures in the southern region, but it was a perilous realm with a mortality rate of over ninety percent, so most sect disciples wouldn't go there.
"Then I'll go look for mutant beasts as well. I don't have any other strong points, but I'm good at fighting." An Lin hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Hahaha … That's great. I knew that Fellow Daoist An Lin would prefer to travel with the number one genius like me." Mo Hai laughed heartily as he patted An Lin's shoulder and said, "Since I've agreed to Elder Zhu's request, I will definitely protect you. Let's move together. You can take the first Vermillion Bird Flame Wing! "
An Lin was a little touched as he looked at Mo Hai. "Alright then, let's work together and try to get a high-grade Vermilion Bird Flame Wing each!"
"Of course. As the number one disciple of the sect's younger generation, I won't go back until I obtain the high-grade Vermillion Bird Flame Wing!" Mo Hai's reply was also very firm.
The projection of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing was split into three grades: low grade, medium grade, and high grade. The higher the grade of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing projection, the purer and more boundless holy flame energy one would receive when receiving the power of the Holy Vermilion Flame.
"Then I'll take my leave first. I wish everyone a smooth journey!"
Lu Jiazhi looked at the two people with high morale, smiled, and began to fly west on his sword.
Mo Hai turned to An Lin. "Let's set off as well."
"Alright!" An Lin nodded before rising into the air atop his brick.
Mo Hai wielded a crimson ancient saber as he rose into the air with An Lin.
The two of them transformed into two streaks of light as they flew toward the northern region of the Vermilion Bird Trial Grounds.
An Lin looked down into the distance, searching for any mutant beasts that might appear.
The mutant beasts that appeared here didn't have a clear cultivation base. The only way to gauge their strength was through the purity of their flames.
These mutant beasts were all fire type mutant beasts, spirit fire mutant beasts, earth fire mutant beasts, and heavenly fire mutant beasts.
Mortal fire mutant beasts were the most ordinary mutant beasts and didn't have the projection of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing within their bodies. Spirit fire mutant beasts had a certain probability of containing a low-grade projection of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing within their bodies. Earth fire mutant beasts had a certain probability of containing a mid-grade projection of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing within their bodies, and heavenly fire mutant beasts had a certain probability of containing a high-grade projection of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing within their bodies.
Mo Hai's target was none other than the heavenly fire mutant beasts. Even though his cultivation base was only at the Soul Formation Initial Stage, he had already brought along a mystic treasure of the sect, so he was determined to obtain a heavenly fire mutant beast.
Meanwhile, An Lin was trying to gather more holy flames in his sea of vital energy in order to feed An Kirin to his heart's content, so he also wanted to try and obtain a high-grade projection of the Vermilion Bird Flame Wing.
"Rumble …"
Not long after, the ground suddenly began to tremor as if a wave of flames was approaching from the distance.
An Lin looked down to discover a vast expanse of yellow flames sweeping toward them with an extremely powerful aura.
"Those are Explosive Flame Rats that feed on earth fire. They're normal fire type spirit beasts, so we can ignore them."
Mo Hai couldn't be bothered to look at them anymore as he turned his attention elsewhere.
An Lin looked down with interest at the wave of flames that was approaching them.
Hundreds of purple rats that were even larger than cows with their bodies burning with flames surged through the air like a moving carpet of flames. It was quite an interesting sight to behold.
An Lin and Mo Hai flew further and further away, encountering perilous situations such as Dark Flame Winds and Heavenly Meteor Flames. They were even attacked by a flock of Flying Flame Birds, but they were all nullified by their powerful abilities.
Two hours later, they arrived at a cluster of majestic mountains.
Each of the mountains here was several thousand meters tall, and some of them even reached into the clouds of flames, making it impossible to tell how tall they were.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion suddenly erupted between heaven and earth.
A mountain in the distance suddenly erupted with a vast amount of crimson lava. A series of rocks covered in lava fell to the ground like balls of crimson fireworks, transforming the ground within a radius of several kilometers into a barren wasteland.
"Powerful mutant beasts usually reside in places with violent volcanic activity. Come on, let's go and have a look!" Mo Hai's eyes lit up upon seeing this, and he flew toward the direction of the erupting volcano on his saber.
An Lin followed behind Mo Hai, admiring the beautiful scenery that resembled the end of the world.
The two of them drew closer and closer to the center of the erupting volcano, and in the end, they were less than ten thousand meters away from it.
"Wait! I see a Black Crystal Flame Python! "
Mo Hai suddenly stopped flying and signaled for An Lin to descend slowly.
The erupting volcano was still in progress, and a resounding boom reverberated throughout heaven and earth. However, the two of them descended soundlessly.
Mo Hai pointed toward a certain direction in the northeast, and he said excitedly, "Do you see that? There's a python that looks very similar to the rocks on the mountain halfway up the mountain one and a half kilometers away!"
An Lin was initially confused, but he looked in the direction that Mo Hai was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a black python over a thousand feet in length coiling around the mountain. It was looking in the direction of the erupting volcano, and its aura was completely concealed.
Fortunately, Mo Hai was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of the aura of flames. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to discover this python. This was because its color was no different from the rocks on the mountain, and even its pupils were black.
The two of them concealed their auras as they slowly approached.
"This Black Crystal Flame Python is an earth fire mutant beast, and its power is comparable to that of a Soul Formation Stage cultivator. We can't act rashly. We have to plan carefully and find the right opportunity to strike," Mo Hai said in a low voice.
An Lin nodded with a solemn expression. "Alright!"
A gratified smile appeared on Mo Hai's face, and he was just about to explain the battle plan.
Bam!
A violent sonic boom suddenly erupted!
A figure with a pair of white Wings of Wind pierced through space at a speed that was inconceivable to the naked eye. The black longsword in its hand was shimmering with white winds, and it was exuding an astonishing sharpness.
It covered a distance of several thousand feet in an instant!
The Black Crystal Flame Python opened its eyes and looked toward a certain direction with shock and horror on its face. Black crystalline flames had only just erupted from its body when the oncoming streak of white light transformed into a dazzling white line that flashed through the air.
"Boom!"
The python's massive head was sliced in half, and blood gushed forth like a rain of flames as its life force was completely severed.
Mo Hai looked at the figure with the Wings of Wind, and his mouth gaped open, but he was unable to utter a single word.
Didn't they say they would take it slow? What happened to waiting for the right opportunity to strike?
You're making me feel very awkward!
An Lin turned around with a smile on his face. "What do you think? My speed of lightning is not bad, right?"
Mo Hai's lips twitched slightly before he nodded with a hint of admiration. "Mr. An Lin, your speed of lightning is truly impressive!"
