Quite a number of people walked out of the bronze ball, and they could feel the elder's rage. They shivered in fear.
A deacon of the ancient herder, an existence that was half a step to almighty being, had actually been killed. This was a slap to the ancient herder's face, so the elder couldn't be blamed for his rage.
"Bang!"
The elder of the ancient herder struck out with his palm and razed the valley to the ground.
"Investigate, find out who killed Mu Lin. How dare he provoke our ancient herder? I'm going to tear him into pieces so his soul will never be able to reincarnate," the elder of the ancient herder said coldly.
Ye Xingchen had long since brought Huo Yaoyao into the depths of God Yang Small Space to search for traces of the three-legged golden crow.
God Yang Small Space was too huge. The land was boundless, and the sky was high. It was like a real world.
As they flew, Ye Xingchen sighed ruefully. Great Sun Divine Sovereign was indeed a Celestial Venerable of the god world. His abilities were incomparably powerful, to be able to open up a real world in such a small space.
That kind of ability was extremely terrifying.
"Master, master, where are we going?" Huo Yaoyao raised her head, and her eyes blinked as she asked innocently.
"To find a three-legged bird," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"A three-legged bird?"
Huo Yaoyao thought about it, then suddenly said, "Master, master, I know where the bird you are talking about is."
"That bird is too annoying. Every time it appears, it absorbs all the fire spirit qi in the surroundings and disturbs my cultivation."
"You know where it is?" Ye Xingchen was slightly surprised.
But thinking about it, Huo Tianshu had lived in this world since he was born, so it wasn't strange for him to know or see the three-legged golden crow.
"That's right, that bird looks very weird. It has three legs, and it's carrying a huge sun on its back. I only need to take a look to remember it."
Huo Yaoyao's face was filled with pride. "Master, master, let's find that bird and beat it up. Let it absorb all the spirit qi I absorb every time."
As she said that, Huo Yaoyao clenched her snow-white hands with a face full of anger.
"Alright, alright, let's go beat it up," Ye Xingchen said.
"Master, that bird must be sleeping on the Fusang Ancient Tree in the Setting Sun Valley. Let's go find it." Huo Yaoyao said.
The Ancient Fusang Tree was an ancient divine tree, the place where the sun resided, a spiritual root of heaven and earth. Even though it couldn't compare to the World Divine Tree, Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Tree, and other divine trees, its reputation was great. Everyone in the universe knew of this ancient tree.
"According to the ancient records, the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth controlled by the Great Sun God is the Ancient Fusang Tree. Could it be that he placed this ancient tree in the Sunset Valley?" Ye Xingchen pondered, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.
Although the Ancient Fusang Tree was not comparable to the World Divine Tree or the Myriad Heavenly Tree, it was still a spiritual root of heaven and earth. It was a treasure tree that countless gods dreamed of. How could it be placed in the Sunset Valley?
The ancient Fusang tree in the Setting Sun Valley should be a branch transplanted by the Great Sun Divine Lord.
But even a branch was enough to move the hearts of Sages and Supremes.
"There is a branch of the Ancient Fusang Tree in the Sunset Valley. If this news spreads, I wonder if it will attract those Sages and Supremes who have been cultivating in seclusion for many years." Ye Xingchen thought.
He followed behind Huo Yaoyao, flying towards the Sunset Valley.
Huo Yaoyao's original body was a Huo Tianshu. She had always lived in this world, so she was very familiar with everything in this world.
Along the way, they encountered fierce beasts and Beast Kings. Those fierce beasts avoided her when they saw her, not daring to come close.
Huo Yaoyao flew forward with a proud face. She smiled and said, "Master, those fierce beasts used to be bad. When I was not strong, they often chased me, wanting to eat and refine me."
At this point, the little girl clenched her snow-white fists. She was very angry.
"During that period of time, I would often hide here and there. One day, a beast king found me and wanted to eat me. I sent it flying with a sweep of my branch. Only then did I realize that I was very strong. After that, I found those beasts and beast kings that wanted to eat me and taught them a lesson."
Ye Xingchen guessed that the period of time Huo Yaoyao mentioned was at least a hundred years.
After all, cultivating as a plant was much more difficult than cultivating as an animal or a human. Even a miraculous tree like the Huo Tianshu was no exception.
At this moment, Ye Xingchen knew why Huo Yaoyao happily agreed when she heard that he wanted to take her as a disciple and impart a cultivation method to him. She had probably never felt warmth since she gained sentience.
But she was still so pure and kind. She only beat up the fierce beasts that wanted to eat her and didn't kill them.
"Yaoyao, follow me in the future. I won't let anyone bully you." Ye Xingchen patted the little girl's head and said in his heart.
At this moment, he truly regarded Huo Yaoyao as his disciple.
Three days later, Huo Yaoyao pulled Ye Xingchen's hand and pointed at the scarlet land in front of them. She said excitedly, "Master, we're almost at the Setting Sun Valley."
After three days of rushing, Huo Yaoyao was already numb and tired. Now that they had reached their destination, she was naturally in a good mood.
In front of them was a fiery land. Scarlet flames burned, never extinguishing.
Moreover, there was not only fire in the fiery land, but also scarlet magma.
The magma gathered together to form a sea.
Even from dozens of li away, Ye Xingchen could feel a scorching aura rushing toward him.
This place was extremely dangerous. The slightest carelessness could cause one to be incinerated by the flames.
Huo Yaoyao stared at the fiery land and suddenly shouted, "Oh, Master, not good. The ancient Fusang tree and that bird are gone."
"They're gone."
Ye Xingchen used his Eye of Fate to see through the void. There was only the scarlet flames in front of him. There were no ancient trees or animals.
Huo Yaoyao sat on a rock, her two small hands supporting her cheeks, looking like she was in deep thought. After a while, she said: "Shifu, I think that the bird must have heard that we were coming to beat it, so it moved overnight, taking the tree and its nest with it."
Ye Xingchen was amused by the little girl's naive thoughts. He patted her little head and smiled. "We'll let it go this time. Next time we find its new home, we'll go and teach it a lesson."
"Yes, we'll beat it next time." The little girl waved her little fist and nodded.
The ancient Fusang tree and the three-legged golden crow disappeared from the Setting Sun Valley. Although Ye Xingchen was disappointed, he was not dispirited.
To him, this fiery land was a holy land for cultivation. He needed to cultivate here. Other than studying the Green Emperor Scripture, he also needed to organize his cultivation methods, martial techniques, and spells.
Also, he needed to stabilize his realm.
He had broken through to the Nirvana realm three times, so his realm was not stable.
Time flew and half a month passed. Ye Xingchen sat cross-legged in the sky above the fiery land, absorbing fire spiritual energy to cultivate.
In the past half a month, he had studied the Green Emperor Scripture for the first three days. He had gained something and could already use some of the martial techniques and spells recorded in the Green Emperor Scripture.
Then he spent another five days organizing what he had learned. He planned to organize a set of martial techniques in the future when he was not busy. The last seven days were used to stabilize his cultivation.
After seven days of hard work, his cultivation had stabilized and was about to break through to the Nirvana realm four times.
"Master, Master, are you done cultivating? Are we leaving?" Huo Yaoyao sat on top of a mountain with a bored expression. She supported her face with her hands and looked at the fiery land in front of her.
In the past half a month, Ye Xingchen had been cultivating. She couldn't find anyone to talk to and felt bored. She was even a little unhappy.
Now that she saw Ye Xingchen walking over, she stood up excitedly and ran to Ye Xingchen's side.
Ye Xingchen nodded, and she immediately became happy. She forgot all the unhappiness from before.
"Master, where are we going next?" Huo Yaoyao asked with a smile, her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"En, let's walk around first. If we don't find anything else, we'll leave," Ye Xingchen said.
He didn't care much about Great Sun Divine Sovereign's hidden treasure. There were too many strong practitioners that had come to the divine yang small space.
Ancient Sun Herd Clan, the mysterious owner of the ancient bronze chariot, the silver dragon, the little bird that looked like a phoenix, and the people of Death's Sword Sect were all experts. Their abilities were unfathomable, and they weren't people he could fight against at the moment.
'They've built a small city in this world so quickly.'
Ye Xingchen brought Huo Yaoyao and flew toward the center. On this day, they crossed a huge mountain and a small city that was ten miles wide appeared in front of them.
The small city was very simple and crude. There were no city walls, and the houses in the city were all built with stones. They were simple and unadorned.
The small city was bustling with activity. People came and went, and their cultivations weren't weak.
There were several streets in the city that were filled with stalls. The stall owners were hawking their wares.
"Take a look, take a look. Fresh Fire Carp. Not only is its meat fresh and tender, it can also increase a martial arts practitioner's cultivation. It's the best choice for martial arts practitioners that cultivate fire attribute techniques. We're having a big sale today. Don't buy it for ninety-eight, just ninety-eight Nirvana Pills and you can bring it home."
"Spirit fruit, sixth grade spirit herb."
"Spirit Fire Wine, refined from dozens of fire attribute spirit herbs, Yang Replenishing Spirit Wine."
"…"
The streets were bustling with activity. Countless stall owners hawked their wares, and it made Ye Xingchen feel as if he had returned to the Daheng dynasty.
The little girl was very excited. She had lived in this world all her life, and she had never seen such a scene before. She immediately ran around and looked around.
"Friend, you see that your sister really likes this Spirit Fire Wine. You should buy a bottle. I see that you look familiar, so I'll sell it to you for a hundred Nirvana Pills." A stall owner said.
"What is this wine?
Is it delicious? "Huo Yaoyao asked curiously.
Ye Xingchen looked at Huo Yaoyao helplessly and pulled her back. He then looked at the stall owner and said: "No need. Yaoyao, let's go."
"Hey hey hey, don't go. If you are not satisfied with the Spirit Fire Wine, I still have Spirit Fire Pills, Vigorous Yang Replenishing Pills. I have everything you need. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
The stall owner was a slightly plump young man. When he smiled, he looked somewhat wretched. He stopped Ye Xingchen.
"If you are not satisfied, I still have other good things."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Xingchen to the side and opened his clothes, revealing the pictures inside. He mysteriously said: "These are all my treasures. If ordinary people want to buy them, I won't sell them. Today, if it wasn't because I saw that you look familiar, as if you were my best friend from my previous life, I wouldn't be able to take them out."
Ye Xingchen glanced at the Fatso stall owner's clothes and saw the pictures hidden inside. They were all pictures that could make people feel great harmony.
"How is it? Not bad right? If you want, I can sell it to you for a hundred Nirvana Pills." The Fatso stall owner said proudly.
"What good things? I also want to see." The little girl was blocked by Ye Xingchen. She was very anxious and kept shouting.
"Hmph!" Ye Xingchen coldly snorted and looked at the Fatso stall owner.
The Fatso stall owner shivered and said embarrassedly: "Brother, don't be angry, don't be angry. If you don't like these pictures, I have other good things."
As he spoke, he took out a tattered map and looked around vigilantly. He pulled Ye Xingchen and Huo Yaoyao into an alley and said, "Brother, this map is my treasure. It took me a lot of effort to get it from the Great Sun Monarch's palace. It contains information about the Great Sun Monarch's hidden treasures. I see that you are a handsome man. You won't be like the others who have the Great Sun Monarch's hidden treasures."
"So, I am willing to sell this map to you for a hundred thousand Nirvana Pills."
"Brother, don't think it's too much. I risked my life to get this map. It contains the Great Sun Monarch's secret treasures. There is only one copy in this world."
Ye Xingchen looked at the map. From the material of the map in the fat vendor's hand, it was indeed very old and shabby. One look and Ye Xingchen could tell that it was quite old.
"Can I have a look?" Ye Xingchen asked.
The Fatso stall owner hesitated and gritted his teeth: "Brother, I trust you. Have a look!"
Ye Xingchen took the tattered map, and after the system appraised it, he threw it to the fat youth. He smiled faintly and said, "Very realistic. One hundred thousand Nirvana Pills, how many people have you cheated?"
"Including you, a total of eight." The Fatso stall owner said without hesitation.
Then, he was stunned. He accidentally let it slip.
"Haha …" The Fatso stall owner laughed awkwardly. He looked up at the sky and changed the topic: "Today's weather is not bad, just a little hot."
Ye Xingchen said: "Yaoyao, let's go."
The Fatso stall owner suddenly stopped Ye Xingchen: "Brother, I didn't lie to you. I did go to the Great Sun Monarch's palace. But what I got was not a map, but a black stone."
"If you want it, I can sell it to you."
He took out a stone. It was round and as black as ink. When he knocked on it, it made a crisp sound. When he infused his True Power, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
Ye Xingchen used his True Power, but the stone was extremely hard. Even with his True Power, he could not leave a mark on it.
"I have checked this stone countless times. Other than the hardness, there is nothing special about it. Brother, if you want it, ten thousand Nirvana Pills." The Fatso stall owner said.
Ye Xingchen was surprised. He used the system to verify it. The result made his heart jump.
He suppressed his excitement and said casually: "The things in the Great Sun Monarch's palace are worth collecting. Ten Nirvana Pills."
"Brother, your bargaining is a little fierce. Seeing that you are a good friend, eight thousand Nirvana Pills. I can't go any lower." The Fatso stall owner gritted his teeth. He looked like he was at a disadvantage.
"Fifty Nirvana Pills." Ye Xingchen said.
After the two of them haggled, they finally settled the deal at one hundred Nirvana Pills.
"Friend, you have picked up a big bargain." The Fatso stall owner said with a smile.
"Master, this Fatso stall owner is smiling. I can tell he is not a good person." Huo Yaoyao pointed at the Fatso stall owner and said seriously.
Ye Xingchen smiled and said: "Yes, he is indeed not a good person."
"Brother, you're insulting my reputation … Forget it, I'll forgive you on account of the fact that you bought my stuff." The chubby young man suddenly changed his words when he saw Ye Xingchen's cold eyes.
The three of them walked out of the alley and saw a group of people walking towards them.
"Good, I finally found you, you liar. Give me back my Nirvana Pills." An angry voice came from the group of people.
