The spiritual boat moved forward steadily, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
This spiritual boat had enough spirit stones, and it traveled day and night at a high speed. Basically, it would take about two months to cross the Sunset Desert, which meant that they had covered almost half of the distance. However, on the way, they would occasionally stop or change directions to search for mystic places nearby that were rumored to have rare treasures or spiritual herbs, which took some time.
In the past half a month, the little ancestor of the Cui Family didn't show up again after being humiliated once. It seemed that he had accepted his fate and let Fang Xing and the little foxes eat and drink on the spiritual boat. However, Fang Xing knew that the little bastard of the Cui Family would rather come to make trouble every few days. The more low-key he was, the more sinister he was. Even if he didn't make a move, once he made a move, he would be ruthless.
Although he understood this, he only raised his vigilance and refused to leave. Inexplicably, he was used by the little ancestor of the Ling Family, and he was so angry that he couldn't sleep soundly if he didn't do something …
Although the little ancestor of the Cui Family didn't make a move, Fang Xing and the little foxes had a hard time on this spiritual boat. Although the servants on the spiritual boat silently allowed them to stay on the spiritual boat, their attitudes had changed drastically. Even if they gave them more money, it was hard to see the smiles on the servants' faces. They all looked at them gloomily as if they had deep grudges against them.
Fang Xing also understood that these servants were lowly and didn't dare to make friends with him, who had a grudge against the little ancestor of the Cui Family. The fact that they didn't act as vanguards to deal with him showed that he was a Golden Core Realm cultivator. Fang Xing didn't say anything about it. When he went to the kitchen to get food, he didn't let the little fox girls do it for him. Instead, he went to the kitchen and robbed the food like a bandit every few days.
Watching the little foxes eat until their bellies were full every day, he felt inexplicably sad. With his Golden Core Realm cultivation, he could be an Ancestral Master in an ordinary place, but he had to go to the kitchen every day to rob food from a group of servants.
Since he had nothing to do, he began to think about his robbery plan. However, it was hard to find an opportunity. After all, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, and his body was injured, so he couldn't unleash his full strength. If he fought with them head-on, he would be asking for trouble. Besides the grey-robed old servant and the little ancestors of the four families of the Demon Chase Alliance, the guests at the top of the spiritual boat were obviously not easy to deal with.
Although he couldn't use his spiritual senses to scan every inch of the spiritual boat, he had cultivated the Supreme Sensing Scroll to the initial realm, and he could vaguely sense some presences on the spiritual boat. These presences were probably the so-called 'honorable guests' on the spiritual boat.
While he was considering whether he should find a chance to escape when they were about to reach the edge of the Setting Sun Desert, something strange happened to the spiritual boat in the last few days. In the depths of the northwest of the Setting Sun Desert, a faint scorching sensation came. As the spiritual boat moved forward, this feeling grew stronger. The fire spirit was intense but not impure. It seemed to have divinity and was abnormally scorching, but it didn't have any evil essence.
The people on the spiritual boat seemed to have sensed the extraordinary nature of the fire spirit and ordered the spiritual boat to turn around and move toward the source of the fire spirit.
Fang Xing knew as well that according to legend, the Sunset Desert was formed when a Demon Immortal perished here all those years ago, causing his cultivation to collapse and destroy all the vitality in the three northern prefectures. Even though it was deathly silent and desolate, there were countless fortuitous encounters left behind. There were some unusual spirit herbs, some ore veins of divinity, and demonized beasts. The explorers that usually went deep into the desert mostly came for the sake of searching for these fortuitous encounters.
This spiritual boat would pay attention to the spiritual herbs and godly mineral veins along the way. Now that it sensed the uniqueness of the fire spirit, it would naturally go and investigate. After all, no one knew what kind of opportunities would appear in the place where a demonic immortal died.
The spiritual boat moved forward with a rumbling sound, getting closer to the source of the fire spirit. The temperature inside the spiritual boat was getting higher and higher, and the little foxes couldn't stand it anymore. They lay on the ground lazily with their tongues out. Afraid that they would die from the heat, Fang Xing set up a Yin Qi array to help them resist the heat. He leaned against the edge of the spiritual boat and carefully sensed the nature of the fire spirit, frowning.
"The nature of this fire spirit is a bit similar to my Samadhi True Fire. Is it really a fire spirit left behind by a demonic immortal?"
He was slightly surprised in his heart. If this flame seed was real, then it could only mean that the people on this boat were really lucky. Such a fortuitous encounter was elusive even in the Setting Sun Desert. Otherwise, the experts of the Demon Court or Demon Chasing Alliance would have come in and taken it away a long time ago. The appearance of this fortuitous encounter was greatly related to the weather and terrain, and it could only be encountered by chance.
Obviously, the people on the spiritual boat thought so as well. Fang Xing hurried toward the source of the fire spirit. After moving forward for thousands of kilometers, they arrived in front of a huge valley with a crack in the ground. The valley looked like a huge crack formed by a sharp axe, and the soil and sand were all red. From a distance, it looked like a translucent flame was burning in the air above the valley, which was extremely strange.
The spiritual boat couldn't move forward anymore since the people at the Foundation Establishment Realm couldn't resist it anymore.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several lights flashed on the spiritual boat, and several figures dashed toward the depths of the valley.
"Ugh? Are these three the honorable guests that the Young Ancestors of the Demon Chasing League mentioned? "
Through the big window on the side of the cabin, Fang Xing saw these figures and was secretly alarmed.
The streaks of light were formed by cultivators flying by, and their auras were extraordinary, causing him to feel a little fearful.
After the lights flew away, he clearly felt that the dangerous presences on the spiritual boat had disappeared. He guessed that these three cultivators must be the ones who had been giving him pressure. These three people usually stayed in seclusion on the spiritual boat and were rarely seen. Now, they finally showed up to explore the valley for the fire spirit containing godly essence.
"The three of them have gone over. I'll go and have a look as well …"
Someone on the spiritual boat said in a loud voice. Then, he turned into a light and dashed into the valley. It was the Young Ancestor of the Ling Family.
"I'll go too!"
"Since there is such an opportunity, I must go and have a look …"
A few deep shouts sounded, and three more lights followed them. They were the Young Ancestors of the Demon Chasing League.
They wanted to show off in front of the 'honorable guests'. Now that the three honorable guests had been lured into the Red Valley by the mysterious fire spirit, they couldn't stay on the spiritual boat any longer.
They had to follow them no matter if it was for the opportunity or for the credit.
However, they were the only ones who were qualified to follow them. Although the grey-robed old servant and Elder Tong had high cultivation strengths, they couldn't leave the spiritual boat behind. They could only stay here and wait for the news from them.
Fang Xing was curious but couldn't follow them. However, he had a solution. From his storage bag, he took out an ancient jade in the shape of a crescent moon. It was the Moon Ruyi that he had snatched from the Moon Worshipping Family in the Ultimate Ruins. He chanted an incantation in a low voice and injected pure spiritual essence into it. The Moon Ruyi Jade flew up and was quietly sent into the night sky by him.
The Moon Ruyi Jade was a rare treasure. It couldn't be used to attack or defend, but it was very useful for scouting. Not only could it cover a wide range, but its aura was like moonlight. Even if cultivators sensed it with their spiritual senses, they wouldn't be suspicious. It was midnight, and the full moon was hanging in the sky, which made this rare treasure even more useful. Its scouting range and control distance were both improved.
Under the control of his spiritual senses, the Moon Ruyi Jade flew into the night sky and traveled hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye. Then, it looked down on the land like an eye.
In his field of vision, he saw three beams of light in front of him and four beams of light behind them. They were flying rapidly along the Red Valley.
The three beams of light in front of them must be the esteemed guests on this spirit boat. From Yue Ruyu's perspective, although she could sense their presence, she could only see blurry shadows. This was because Yue Ruyi was a special treasure used for scouting, which was equivalent to refracting Fang Xing's divine sense toward the ground. Only when he sensed them with his divine sense could he "see" them. The closer he was, the clearer he could see them.
The three distinguished guests all had profound cultivation levels, and their spiritual senses were unusually powerful. Fang Xing was worried that he would be discovered if he got too close to them, but he didn't dare to forcibly scan their faces. Thus, he could only see blurry shadows.
The three of them were surrounded by Pill Light to resist the shocking firepower below the Red Valley. They turned into beams of light and flew forward. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they stopped in front of a cave at the end of the Red Valley. They split into three groups and surrounded the entrance of the cave.
"Is this really a fire seed formed from the remaining divinity of the Demon Immortal after he died? Are we really that lucky? "
One of the shadows glanced at the cave and suddenly burst out laughing in a joyful manner.
The second shadow said, "We're not lucky. The Demon Court's arrangement affected this place and awakened the remaining divinity of the Demon Immortal!"
The third shadow, who seemed to be a woman, smiled and said, "It seems that the Demon Court's action is really big. But in this way, doesn't it mean that the other treasures that the Demon Immortal scattered in this Sunset Desert will also awaken?"
The second person who spoke snorted and said, "Stop dreaming. Those treasures have long been locked onto by a few old fellows in the Demon Alliance. Even if they are awakened, they will automatically fly to the Demon Court. Otherwise, do you think they are so calm? At such an important time, they won't send people into the Setting Sun Desert? The flame transformed from the divinity fragment should be the only opportunity we can find! "
The woman said, "It's good to get these divinity flames. If we can integrate them into the Gold Core, it will greatly benefit our cultivation!"
The first person laughed and said to the second shadow, "Then, Senior Brother He, please draw out the divine fire!"
