Seeing Hayashikawa and the others disappear into the flames, the lady in green beside the Emperor Qing, who was Bu Lianshi's mother, could no longer keep a straight face. She revealed a sorrowful expression.
"Don't be sad. To be able to see my daughter and son-in-law here, it's our fortune. I have no more regrets." The Emperor Qing said softly.
After such a long time, his heart had long died. Everything in the Longevity Heaven was just a cage to him. He could not escape, but he did not want to face it either.
He had thought that this would be it for the rest of his life. However, at this moment, he saw his only flesh and blood. This was the only thing he cared about in the outside world. Although Bu Lianshi was also trapped in the Longevity World, at least they were reunited.
However, this kind of reunion was only temporary. Because what Hayashikawa and the others were going to do was something that no one in the Longevity World had ever succeeded in. Danger and opportunity. The Emperor Qing did not want to let Hayashikawa and the others take the risk. However, he could not stop them.
He could tell that Hayashikawa and even Bu Lianshi did not have absolute trust in them. After all, this was the Longevity World. They had to be vigilant. Even if they were relatives, who knew what had happened in the past ten thousand years? Did the Tai Yi Tribe have complete control over the Emperor Qing?
These were all doubts that Hayashikawa and the others had.
As Bu Lianshi's relatives, Hayashikawa could not be like Chen Xuanyi and Ye Qingyang who cast the Caged Bird Technique on them. Hence, there was only a limited amount of trust.
This kind of situation would only change after the Tai Yi Tribe was destroyed and they left the Longevity World.
"I can tell that Lianshi does not trust us completely. Sigh …" The lady in green sighed.
"That's normal. If they trusted us completely, I would think that they would not succeed." The Emperor Qing said.
"I only hope that in the future, we can get rid of the barriers between us." The lady in green said.
"There will definitely be a chance. This time, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will help them succeed!" The Emperor Qing said solemnly.
On the other side, the five people who had entered the Builder Tree shuttled through the flames and slowly flew upwards.
As they ventured deeper, the temperature of the flames continued to rise. However, the power of the flames was not great. For Hayashikawa and the others, they could easily defend against it. It was clear that although this place had the ability to select cultivators to enter the Mars Heaven, the restriction on their cultivation level was not high. According to Hayashikawa's estimation, one would need to be at least in the Soul Formation stage to safely pass through. In the Longevity Heaven, this was considered a very low level of cultivation.
Weng!
The five of them rushed out of the range of the flames at the same time and appeared on a barren land.
This Celestial Imperial Court was completely different from the previous Celestial Imperial Court. There were no lush trees, only hot weather and some strange fiery red plants.
The entire world seemed to be roasting in flames. It was extremely hot. At a glance, the plants growing on the ground would burst into flames from time to time. A little further away, these plants were burning in a large area. However, once the flames passed, new plants would quickly grow from the red ground, forming a cycle of replacement.
From afar, Hayashikawa could see some floating spiritual altars through his powerful eye technique. They were exactly the same as the Wood Spiritual Altars, but this time, they were Fire Spiritual Altars.
On the horizon, Chen Jue could see a towering purple wall. It was the withered Jianmu, and in front of the Jianmu, there was a towering mountain. The air above it was steaming, and flames burned fiercely, never extinguishing.
"That's the Mountain of Flames of the Scarlet Emperor." Chen Xuanyi pointed at the mountain range in the distance.
"The passage to the next Celestial Imperial Court is halfway up the Mountain of Flames. At the peak of the Mountain of Flames is the Celestial Imperial Court where the Scarlet Emperor resides. If we get close, the Scarlet Emperor will most likely attack. Furthermore, the Mountain of Flames is his home ground. It will greatly increase his strength," Ye Qingyang said.
"Let's go and meet the Scarlet Emperor."
Hayashikawa did not plan to stay in the Celestial Imperial Court for long. He immediately used Yomiuri Yamasaka to tear open the space. After everyone entered, they were already standing below the Mountain of Flames when they reappeared.
The terrifyingly high temperature roasted the earth. Hayashikawa could also feel the surrounding temperature rising.
"That's the passage to the Celestial Imperial Court, right?" Qin Lang pointed at an area halfway up the mountain and said.
That area was bright yellow, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding dark red. Furthermore, only that area was filled with flowing sand and rocks. The rest of the area was filled with burning flames.
"That's right. That's the passage. We just need to walk up and step on the ground of the Mountain of Flames. We will experience all kinds of fire attacks. Of course, this is the situation we encountered in the past. This time, I'm afraid we will have to see if the one at the peak is willing to let us go!" Chen Xuanyi said as he looked at the dark red palace at the peak of the mountain.
"We have to go through even if we have to," Ye Qingyang said indifferently.
In the past, they were not qualified and could only follow the rules. However, this time, as cultivators in the Tribulation Stage, they were qualified to fight the Scarlet Emperor.
They chose to walk because they respected the Scarlet Emperor and abided by the rules. If the Scarlet Emperor still wanted to attack them, they would have to pass through no matter the price.
Hayashikawa and the rest had already given face. As for the Scarlet Emperor's choice, it was not something they could control.
Hayashikawa walked out slowly and was the first to step onto the ground of the Mountain of Flames.
At this moment, the temperature rose abruptly. Hayashikawa felt that many things in his field of vision were distorted by the temperature and he could not see clearly. However, when the power of his eye exploded, everything around him returned to normal.
"The temperature is very high, but we can withstand it!"
After saying that, Hayashikawa led the group towards the passage halfway up the mountain. The Immortal Qi Chakra circulating around his body was also increasing along with the surrounding temperature.
From time to time, the surrounding flames would rush towards Hayashikawa and the rest. However, they were unable to cause any harm to them.
However, as they went deeper, the flames began to change. Among the red flames, flames of other colors would appear from time to time. Some of them were extremely hot, some had extremely strong adhesion, and some were extremely cold. Here, they saw all kinds of flames. Each of them was extremely mysterious and terrifying.
"It's much more powerful than when we came here previously," Chen Xuanyi said.
Obviously, these flames were not prepared for ordinary cultivators. They were specially prepared for Hayashikawa and the rest. Regardless of whether it was the power or the temperature, it was greatly increased.
Just as Hayashikawa and the rest were about to reach the halfway point of the mountain, an indifferent voice came from the palace at the top of the mountain.
"Come to the Star Suppression Palace. Otherwise, I will attack!"
