The owner of the gaze was the Sect Leader's wife, Hua Tianshu!
Hua Tianshu's gaze flashed past Ye Xing's body, but even in such a short moment, Ye Xing could feel the intense killing intent in Hua Tianshu's heart.
Feeling Hua Tianshu's killing intent, Ye Xing became vigilant. It seemed like this trip to the Fallen Star Secret Territory was not that safe.
However, only core disciples could enter the Fallen Star Secret Territory. Therefore, Hua Tianshu could not enter the Fallen Star Secret Territory herself. If Hua Tianshu wanted to kill Ye Xing, she could only do it through her disciple, He Hongjiao!
Ye Xing looked at He Hongjiao, and He Hongjiao happened to look at Ye Xing. When their eyes met, He Hongjiao's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Chief disciple Ma Ren had already taken the lead and entered the passage. The other core disciples followed closely behind him, entering according to their rankings. He Hongjiao was one of the top ten core disciples, so she quickly entered the passage.
As an inner disciple, Ye Xing was naturally the last. There were only about twenty core disciples in total. Not long after, he also entered the Fallen Star Valley, disappearing from the sight of the Fallen Star Sect's upper echelons.
The passage opened by Lin Fenghua led to the depths of the valley, in front of a huge meteorite.
The Fallen Star Secret Territory was on this meteorite. When the core disciples approached it, they were directly transported into the secret territory.
This was a very vast space, like another world. There were many spatial cracks in the void, which showed that this space was not stable.
This was the reason why the Fallen Star Sect only sent core disciples in. If experts with high cultivation were to enter, the secret territory would not be able to withstand the pressure, and it might collapse faster.
Not far behind the core disciples was a dark light world, which was the edge of this world. In front of them was a wide field of vision, but ten miles away, there were countless flames that covered the horizon.
Even if Ye Xing looked into the distance, he could not see the edge of the sea of flames.
Ma Ren stood at the front of the group of disciples and pointed at the sea of fire in front of them. "In front of us is the sea of fire. After the sea of fire is the desert. After the desert is the ice mountain. After the ice mountain is the area where the Stellar Hall is located. After passing through the sea of fire, we have to split up and walk separately. After passing through the sea of fire, if you can meet up, then walk together. Finally, everyone will meet at the Stellar Hall!"
After pausing for a while, Ma Ren continued, "Junior Brothers and Sisters who are entering the Falling Star Secret Land for the first time, please take note. Do not stay in the sea of fire for too long. If you stay in one place for too long, it will cause a fire tide. The longer you stay in one place, the stronger the fire tide will be. The strongest fire tide can even incinerate a peak Martial Sage!"
In the end, Ma Ren reminded, "Also, if you see a spatial rift, don't go around it. That's a dangerous place that can even kill an Adept in an instant."
These matters were all explained to them by their respective Elders and Masters. All the disciples were very clear about it. Ma Ren's reminder left a deep impression on them.
"Got it, Eldest Senior Brother!" Many disciples responded.
Ma Ren nodded and said, "With your strength, it should not be a problem for you to pass through the sea of fire, the desert, and the ice mountain to reach the Star Hall. Now, let's go. See you at the Star Hall!"
There was a reason why the Falling Star Sect only allowed core disciples to enter the Falling Star Secret Land. The core disciples were at least Four Star Martial Sages and had the strength to pass through the three dangerous places in the Falling Star Secret Land. However, the inner disciples could not do so. Even Three-Star Martial Sages had a high chance of dying in the three dangerous places.
The disciples spread out and headed toward the sea of fire in front of them.
From afar, the land of fire looked like a sea of fire. In fact, it was not. Ninety percent of the ground was covered by fire. However, there were some small areas that did not have any fire.
These small areas were either connected by roads or were not far apart. Cultivators could forcefully charge through the fire to reach the place. Therefore, they could pass through the land of fire.
"Junior Brother Ye!"
Lin Tongyu called out to Ye Xing from afar. She made a gesture to encourage Ye Xing.
On Ye Xing's left was Lin Tongyu. The two of them were several hundred meters apart. Ye Xing heard her and waved at Lin Danyu.
Then, Lin Tongyu passed through a path without any fire and rushed into the sea of fire.
The core disciple on Ye Xing's right was He Hongjiao. She was very close to Ye Xing, only two hundred meters apart. Ye Xing knew that He Hongjiao did not have any good intentions by deliberately coming to his side. However, Ye Xing was not afraid at all.
Ye Xing chose a path and entered the sea of fire. He Hongjiao also entered the sea of fire.
In the sea of fire, if there were too many cultivators or if they stayed for too long, it would trigger a tide of fire. Therefore, He Hongjiao did not plan to make a move in the sea of fire.
The temperature outside the sea of fire was already very high. Inside the sea of fire, the temperature was even higher. Ye Xing used his Celestial Essence Astral Shield to protect his body, but he still felt very hot.
The cultivation method he cultivated was the Pure Essence Art. His Celestial Essence was extremely dense, no weaker than that of a Four-Star Martial Saint. If an ordinary Three-Star Martial Saint came here, they would feel as if they were being burned in the sea of fire.
Ye Xing used the Heavenly Bat Steps, controlling his speed to the most ordinary level, and went deep into the sea of fire.
The three danger zones of the Fallen Star Secret Territory, the sea of fire, the desert, and the iceberg, were very vast. It would take four or five days to pass through each danger zone, or even longer!
Inside, it was not suitable to run fast. One had to keep their consumption to a minimum.
In the sea of fire, one could not stay for a long time. When resting, one could only rest for an hour at most. Moreover, it would be difficult to find a suitable place to rest for the whole day. If one did not know how to control their Celestial Essence consumption, they would die of exhaustion in the sea of fire.
After walking for only half an hour, Ye Xing came to the end of the road. The front was blocked by the sea of fire.
Ye Xing knew this as early as when he climbed over a hillside and looked down from above. He had already chosen the next path.
Ye Xing jumped, and his body shot into the sky like a cannonball. He jumped more than a hundred meters and landed on a nearby mountain peak.
This mountain peak was full of flames. The flames rose more than ten feet high. Ye Xing fell into the flames and disappeared instantly.
Suddenly, a trace of turbulence appeared on the flames on the mountain peak. It was caused by someone moving quickly in the flames.
Ye Xing had seen the other side of the mountain peak when he was high up on the hillside. As long as he rushed through this small flame area, he would be safe.
The flames here were not ordinary. Ye Xing ran in it and consumed a lot of Celestial Essence. If it were other elementary Martial Sages, their Celestial Essence would not be able to withstand the burning of the flames. If they entered the flames, they would be burned to ashes in a few breaths.
Soon, Ye Xing crossed the mountain peak. Every time he crossed a certain distance, Ye Xing would jump out of the sea of fire and observe the surroundings to ensure that he was going in the right direction. Ye Xing saw that he was not far from the area without flames.
However, at this time, a roar suddenly came from the flames. A giant beast covered in flames suddenly rushed out.
This was a flame beast more than three feet long. It had two horns on its head and red scales on its body. It could walk in flames.
This kind of demonic beast was called the Crystal Fire Beast by the Falling Star Sect. It was not seen in the outside world. It could only be found in the Falling Star Secret Territory. Its body contained fire crystals, which were treasures for cultivating fire-attributed martial arts.
This Crystal Fire Beast was equivalent to a peak Three-star Martial Sage. An ordinary Four-star Martial Sage would not be able to deal with it if they encountered it in flames.
However, for Ye Xing, this Crystal Fire Beast rushing over was purely courting death.
In an instant, the Purple Feather Spear appeared in his hand.
Dark Spirit Spear Art – Spiritual Light Flash!
The Purple Feather Spear streaked across a dark light. As soon as the Crystal Fire Beast appeared, Ye Xing's spear pierced its head, killing it instantly.
Then, Ye Xing picked up the Crystal Fire Beast's corpse with his spear and used the Star Essence Astral Shield to protect his body. He continued to walk through the flames. Not long after, he came to another area without flames and put down the Crystal Fire Beast's corpse.
Ye Xing took out a sharp spirit weapon and cut open the Crystal Fire Beast's head, taking out the fire crystals in its head.
Then, Ye Xing cut open the Crystal Fire Beast's thick scales and dug out the tender meat in the depths of the scales, putting it into his storage ring.
The Crystal Fire Beast's meat was one of the best ingredients. A Crystal Fire Beast was more than three feet long and weighed more than a thousand pounds. However, there was very little tender meat, only about ten pounds, which was about one percent of its body weight. This was the most valuable part of the Crystal Fire Beast's body.
(I had something to do yesterday, so I came home very late. I wanted to send a short chapter asking for leave, but I couldn't send it. I've made my brothers wait for a long time. Sorry!
I owe two more chapters. Although the task of paying back my debts is very difficult, I will definitely pay it back. Thank you brothers for your support!)
