Lu An rode his horse through Meteor Trail City and left from the north of the city.
Last night, the man in the black fog had explained to him in detail how to reach the Gate of Sacred Fire, how to use the Gate of Sacred Fire, and the specific location of the Gate of Sacred Fire. Now, Lu An had to do everything himself.
Actually, the way to open the array was very simple. Just like the Gate of the Immortal Realm used Immortal Qi, the Gate of Sacred Fire used Sacred Fire. The man in the black fog had said that for such teleportation arrays, the creator would choose something that only he knew as the opening condition. And the Fate Wheel was the best key.
In this world, there were some public teleportation arrays. Those arrays were mostly controlled by some big families on some continents and used to make money. As for small countries like the Kingdom of Midnight and the Tiancheng Kingdom, they naturally did not have them.
The Gate of Sacred Fire was in the Gongxu Mountain Range outside the city. The Gongxu Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles and was unfathomably deep. Even the man in the black fog had warned him many times not to go deep into the mountain range. It was obvious that there were powerful strange beasts inside.
Fortunately, the Gate of Sacred Fire was not set in a deep place, but on the third mountain in the north. When Lu An stood at the foot of the Gongxu Mountain Range and rode up the mountain range again, he could not help but sigh.
The first time he entered the mountain range was to join the Research and Hunting Group. He risked his life to go up the mountain to get a water bag left behind by Kong Yan. For that water bag, he almost lost his life. Even after that, every time he entered the Gongxu Mountain Range, it was extremely dangerous. Those two Steel-armed Apes had almost killed him.
Now that he entered again, he was slightly more confident.
He rode his horse to the first mountain in the mountain path. Perhaps it was because of the morning, he did not encounter any strange beasts along the way. He also heaved a sigh of relief. Compared to fighting, he preferred safety.
Last night, the man in the black fog had warned him again and again that unless his life was in danger, he must not use the Realm of the Demon Gods. Therefore, if he really found a strange beast that he could not defeat, he did not want to force his way in. Instead, he wanted to escape and find a chance to go deeper.
However, it seemed that the heavens were looking out for him. When he rode his horse to the second mountain, he still did not encounter any strange beasts.
Strange, was his luck that good?
As it turned out, his luck was indeed very good. When he successfully stood on the third mountain, he couldn't believe his own eyes.
He felt that all his recent luck had been used up today. He had been prepared for a big battle, but it seemed that he didn't need anything now.
After walking for a while, Lu An soon arrived at the place mentioned by the man in the black fog. Looking at the empty grassland in front of him, Lu An was no longer someone who had never seen a formation before. He immediately unleashed the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame. The moment the Ninth Heavens Sacred Flame appeared, the surrounding space began to become unstable.
Under the call of the Nine Heavens Saint Flame, a huge fire array appeared in front of them. When Lu An saw this array formation, he couldn't help but be stunned. This door was completely enveloped in flames. If an ordinary person were to enter, they would probably be burned to death by the flames!
Lu An looked at the door awkwardly, then turned to look at his horse. It seemed that he could not bring the horse in …
Thinking of this, Lu An could only look at Ma and say, "Go, return to Starfire Academy!"
After saying this, Lu An patted the horse's back. Immediately, the horse neighed and galloped outside.
Turning around, Lu An looked at the Gate of Sacred Flame in front of him, took a deep breath, and strode in!

In fact, the Gate of Sacred Flame was even more domineering than the Gate of the Immortal Realm.
When Lu An came out of the Gate of Sacred Flame, he almost fell flat on his face. He was completely kicked out of the door and landed heavily on the ground!
"Cough … cough …" Lu An hurriedly got up from the ground and wiped the dust off his face. This fall made him eat a lot of dust.
However, this Gate of Sacred Flame seemed to be faster than the Gate of the Immortal Realm. He felt that he had not even entered the Gate of Sacred Flame for two breaths before he was kicked out. At this moment, he was also in a forest.
This forest was very deep. Lu An stood in the valley and couldn't find his direction. But soon, he came to a mountain top and looked around.
Immediately, he saw an extremely magnificent city!
When he saw this city, Lu An could not help but be startled. He even looked at it with some astonishment. The buildings there were different from everything he had seen so far. Every building was at least ten feet tall. The buildings stood tall. Looking at it from the top of the mountain, it gave people a feeling of oppression!
And on the other side of the city, Lu An indeed saw a lake! However, the lake was mostly blocked by the city. Moreover, it seemed that the only way to pass through was also blocked. This made Lu An's heart tremble.
Could it be that this lake was now under the management of the city?
If that was the case, then it would be troublesome.
Lu An frowned slightly and immediately rushed toward the city. Before coming here, Lu An had asked the person in the black fog what country this was. However, the person in the black fog said that it had been a long time since he came here. He probably did not know how many countries and dynasties he had been to. Therefore, it was useless for him to know.
After going down the mountain, Lu An found that in front of him was an endless plain. In the plain, there was an extremely wide road that led directly to the city. On both sides of the road, there was a stone statue placed at intervals. The stone statue was of a monster, a monster that Lu An had never seen before.
Faintly, Lu An felt that this trip was not so simple.
It was very far from the foot of the mountain to the city. It was already noon. Lu An spent some money to catch a carriage and followed it into the city.
In the carriage, Lu An tried to talk to the people inside.
"May I ask what city is in front of us?" Lu An looked at the person in the carriage and asked.
This person was the owner of the carriage, a merchant. He looked at the young Lu An and asked, "You're not a local?"
"No." Lu An smiled and said, "I like to travel around. I don't know how I came here. I know nothing about this place."
Hearing this, the merchant frowned slightly. He looked at Lu An and said, "I've seen a lot of people who travel around, but I've never seen one as young as you."
Hearing this, Lu An smiled but did not say anything.
Seeing that Lu An did not answer, the merchant was not interested in asking further. He said directly, "In front of us is Purple Lake City. There is a huge lake next to it called Purple Lake, hence the name. "
"Purple Lake?" Lu An was startled and asked, "Is the lake purple?"
"How is that possible?" Hearing this, the merchant rolled his eyes at Lu An and said, "The lake is a normal lake. It's called Purple Lake because the first city lord who founded this city named it Purple Lake. Therefore, it is called Purple Lake City."
Hearing this, Lu An came to a sudden realization and nodded. He did not remember that the person in the black fog said that the lake was purple. He thought that he had come to the wrong place.
"Looking at you, I'm afraid that you don't know the rules of Purple Lake City?" The merchant looked at Lu An's surprised expression and asked.
Lu An was startled and nodded. "I really don't know. Are there any special rules?"
"Of course." The merchant said faintly, "First of all, I have to tell you that Purple Lake City does not belong to any of the surrounding countries. Purple Lake City is Purple Lake City and the city lord is the sky here."
"In the city, there are many rules that are different from the outside world. For example, you can only have one husband and one wife. Husband and wife are equal and cannot be treated differently. Of course, if you don't plan to get married and have children in this city, you don't have to remember these rules. "
"…" Lu An's head hurt when he heard the merchant's irrelevant words. However, this information did make him curious. After all, it was very different from the outside world.
"However, even if you don't plan to get married and have children here, you have to remember to respect women." The merchant looked at Lu An and said again, "No matter which country you are from, if you don't respect women here, you will be punished. You will not be able to escape."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. It seemed that the rules of Purple Lake City were stricter than he thought.
Although the city seemed very close, it was actually very far away. On the way, Lu An looked at the strange beast stone statues that appeared from time to time. He could not help but ask, "What are these stone statues?"
The merchant looked out of the window and said faintly, "Rank 6 strange beast, the mount of the city lord."
"What?!" Lu An was startled and asked in shock, "Could it be that the city lord is also a Rank 6 Heavenly Master?"
"Nonsense. Otherwise, how could she have a Rank 6 strange beast as her mount and occupy a city?" The merchant looked at Lu An as if he was looking at an idiot and said, "Moreover, the city lord is a woman."
