Ashen Flame Mountain Pass, with Ashen Flame Mountain City as the center, radiated thousands of miles to the left and right, all under the jurisdiction of this pass.
From the map, the pass was surrounded by White Jade City Pass on the left and Clear Moon Cave Pass on the right. Although the three passes were separated by a certain distance, they could cooperate with each other from afar and form a defense line.
The defense line on the side of the Military Prefecture Guards was connected by the passes.
White Jade City Pass on the left was the same as Ashen Flame Mountain Pass, both belonging to the Great Moon Pass.
Clear Moon Cave Pass on the right belonged to the Small Moon Pass. In this way, Ashen Flame Mountain was the rightmost defensive node of the entire defense line of the Great Moon Pass.
Under normal circumstances, this defense line that stretched for 2,000 miles required a large number of cultivators to spread out and patrol to prevent Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators from sneaking in.
However, on Ashen Flame Mountain, other than Thought Moon Immortal, Lu Ye was the only one. Naturally, they couldn't count on anyone else.
Right now, Lu Ye was in charge of patrolling the area around the pass. It was his duty to check for loopholes and fill in the gaps.
After resting for the night, Lu Ye set off with Hu Po and Yiyi before the sky brightened the next day.
He and Hu Po were in the light, while Yiyi was in the dark. Although there were few people, with his powerful perception and Yiyi's concealment, if there were any Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators hiding nearby, it would be difficult for them to escape detection.
While he was patrolling, a melody that he had almost forgotten began to play in his mind.
"The King asked me to patrol the mountain. I'll take a look around the human world …" "…"
He hurriedly shook his head and dispelled this inappropriate thought.
The defense line that radiated 2,000 miles to the left and right of Ashen Flame Mountain didn't even include the depth. It was impossible for Lu Ye to complete his patrol in a day.
His original plan was to only patrol the nearby 100 miles of Fan Country. Even so, it would take him half a day.
The lack of manpower here was the biggest problem. He could only ensure that there were no enemies within a radius of 100 miles.
Moreover, before he arrived, Thought Moon Immortal was guarding alone and probably wouldn't do this patrol. After so many years, the defense line was still stable.
Therefore, although he was now in charge of patrolling, it was most likely just a formality.
However, as Lu Ye continued to investigate, he soon discovered something interesting.
The deeper he went into the defense line, the stronger the burning sensation in the air.
When Lu Ye first came to Hongkou, she felt that the environment here seemed to be hotter than other places.
Previously, he had been tormented by the Thought Moon Immortal in all sorts of ways, so he didn't have the time to think too much about it. But now, he had a different discovery.
Thinking back to the location of the mountain pass, Ashen Flame Mountain, and the fact that the mountain had the word "Flame" in it, undoubtedly explained a lot of things.
He had originally wanted to use the Guard Token to send a message to the Missing Moon Immortal to inquire about the situation and see if it was really as he thought.
But after thinking about it for a while, he decided to drop the idea.
Although she had her Second Senior Sister's guarantee that she wouldn't have any malice towards her, she had been tormented by her for a period of time. Lu Ye wanted to avoid any contact with her as much as possible.
After confirming the direction, he continued to walk deeper into the defensive line.
Along the way, there were no disturbances and not a single Myriad Devil Ridge cultivator could be seen. Perhaps they didn't encounter any, or perhaps no Myriad Devil Ridge cultivator dared to cause trouble.
Lu Ye felt that it should be the former.
One person suppressing an entire group. Although it sounded awe-inspiring, there would inevitably be many loopholes in the defensive line.
Even if the Missing Moon Immortal was a Divine Sea Realm cultivator, it was impossible for her to constantly use her Divine Perception to monitor the surroundings. Lu Ye reckoned that there would be many Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators sneaking into the Grand Heaven Alliance's territory from the defensive line at the entrance of the continent.
Of course, there was a risk in doing so. Because once the Missing Moon Immortal sensed it, it would be difficult for even an immortal to save them.
But no matter which position they chose to sneak into the enemy's territory, they would have to bear all kinds of risks. There was no lack of skilled and daring people who would take the risk.
The burning sensation became more and more obvious. Even the air was filled with a strange pungent smell. Lu Ye was excited and realized that he was right.
There was definitely something like a volcano in front of him.
There was still a half-activated spirit pattern on his Talent Tree. Because the Talent Tree didn't devour enough rare flames and alchemy fire, it had been a long time …
Recently, he had been working hard to find suitable rare flames and alchemy fire in the Tianji Treasure Vault, but his harvest was meager.
But he didn't expect to find it here. This was really a case of wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, only to find it by chance.
However, he was already close to the Myriad Devil Ridge's sphere of influence. According to this situation, even if there really was something like a volcano in front of him, it would definitely be in the Myriad Devil Ridge's territory.
He had to be more careful. If his whereabouts were exposed in the other party's territory, he wouldn't have a good ending.
After walking another two hundred kilometres, there was no longer any greenery in the surroundings. The pungent smell in the air became more and more obvious. When he looked up, he saw a bare mountain in front of him.
At the entrance of the mountain, there was a scorching heat wave spewing out, burning the void to the point of distorting.
Lu Ye didn't rush forward. Instead, he first took out the ten-point map to check his position. After a while, he frowned.
This location was awkward for him because it was obviously the Myriad Devil Ridge's territory. There could be Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators patrolling the area at any time. If he went there, it would be difficult to hide his whereabouts.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye decided to go. He was now a True Lake Realm cultivator. Although he had just advanced to the First Order not long ago, his strength had changed dramatically compared to the past.
As long as he didn't encounter an enemy that was too powerful, there wouldn't be any problems.
As for the other party's Spirit Sea Realm cultivator … … There was no need to worry too much. Generally speaking, the Spirit Sea Realm cultivators guarding the entrance wouldn't easily take action to avoid giving the other party an opportunity.
Cultivators of the Divine Sea Realm were like the stabilizing force of the sea for every mountain pass.
Even at the front line of the confrontation between the two camps, it was rare to encounter a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator fighting. Because at their level of cultivation, they could see many things that the cultivators below them couldn't. Unless there was some deep hatred, they wouldn't fight under ordinary circumstances.
This was a rare opportunity. The Fire Attribute energy contained in such a volcano was extremely large. If Lu Ye could benefit from it, it wouldn't be as simple as opening a Spirit Rune on his Talent Tree. He might even be able to open more.
After making up his mind, Lu Ye immediately stepped forward.
But before that, he had already called Yi Yi back and stuffed the amber into his Spirit Beast Bag.
The environment here was harsh. Although the spirit beast and tiger could resist it, it would still consume a lot of energy.
Moreover, the amber symbol was too obvious. If a cultivator familiar with Lu Ye saw it, they would immediately associate it with Lu Ye himself.
Putting away the amber, Lu Ye could still find a way to mediate if he encountered a Myriad Demon Ridge cultivator.
Flying forward, Lu Ye arrived at the mouth of the volcano. Looking down, he saw waves of heat and magma surging and boiling below. From time to time, bubbles would burst, creating an astonishing scene.
At this point, even Lu Ye had to push his Spirit Qi to resist the scorching heat.
This reminded him of the Spirit Stream Battlefield and the scene of the Land of Fire. At that time, his cultivation wasn't high, so the environment was very similar to the one he was in now.
However, although the Land of Fire was in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, the quality of the Phoenix Fire hidden there was much higher than here.
After coming into contact with Strange Flames and Pill Fires many times, Lu Ye could tell the quality of these things at a glance.
The quality of the Fire Attribute energy here was naturally not good, but it was superior in quantity. If he could stay here for a long time, the Talent Tree should be able to eat its fill. He didn't know how many leaves it could ignite and how many Spirit Inscriptions it could unlock.
Lu Ye naturally longed for such a precious place. Without much hesitation, Lu Ye jumped directly into the mouth of the volcano.
A few dozen feet away, a figure hidden in the void quietly observed him. From beginning to end, Lu Ye had not noticed at all.
Only Thought Moon Immortal could have such attainments in the Dao of Concealment and follow behind Lu Ye.
Seeing him jump in like this, Thought Moon Immortal was a little surprised, not knowing what Lu Ye wanted.
But then she remembered that Lu Ye cultivated a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method, so perhaps he wanted to use the environment here to cultivate.
"You're quite bold." Thought Moon Immortal snorted softly, but did not follow.
She had been following behind Lu Ye mainly because this was Lu Ye's first patrol mission. She only had one subordinate, and he was also a disciple of the Blue Blood Sect, so she should pay more attention to him.
In the end, he discovered that this brat had actually come to the territory of the Myriad Demons Ridge and even jumped into the volcano.
Thought Moon Immortal did not intend to jump in with him. Although the environment here was bad, since Lu Ye chose to do so, he must have a certain degree of confidence. They were all people who had cultivated to the True Lake Stage, so it was impossible for others to worry about everything.
She could pay more attention to Lu Ye, but she would not take care of him like a mother. If that was the case, then he would not be able to go far on the path of cultivation.
Looking in the direction of the distant Lonely Mountain City, Thought Moon Immortal said to herself, "Since we're already here, let's go take a look."
It had been a long time since she visited that old ghost Wan Zhang Gang. She did not know if he was dead or not!
In the front line of the confrontation between the two camps, Divine Sea Stage cultivators would not be easily dispatched.
There was only one exception.
That was Thought Moon Immortal of the Blue Flame Mountain!
Other Divine Sea Stage cultivators would guard the entrance of their own Blue Flame Mountain City. For many years, they would guard the entrance of their own Blue Flame Mountain City.
The Thought Moon Immortal, on the other hand, did not care about the Blue Flame Mountain at all. When she was in the mood, she would make a trip to Lonely Mountain City, causing the Myriad Devil Ridge in Lonely Mountain City to suffer unspeakably. Wan Zhang Gang was quite angry about this, but he could not do anything to her.
A Divine Sea Stage ghost cultivator who was proficient in concealment and array formation could not be stopped if she wanted to sneak into a place.
Even if her whereabouts were exposed, she had the ability to kill her way out.
If other Divine Sea Stage cultivators at other mountain passes dared to do this, the Myriad Devil Ridge would definitely give them a taste of their own medicine. However, the Blue Flame Mountain City was special, so the Myriad Devil Ridge was destined to be powerless.
Thought Moon Immortal guarded the Blue Flame Mountain City alone. Even if the mountain pass was occupied, so what? Haotian Alliance would not lose a single soldier. On the contrary, Thought Moon Immortal, who was unrestrained, would become even more terrifying.
