In the center of the training room, the light of the Green Spirit Divine Tree gradually dimmed. It was obvious that Ding Meng had absorbed all of the divine light energy. When he opened his eyes, Lan Bing and Lan Bing had already stopped cultivating and were chatting on the sofa.
Seeing that he had woken up, Eisendale took the initiative to say, "The city leader from before came. He said that we're about to arrive at our destination."
Ding Meng asked, "How long has it been?"
Eisendale's face lit up. "Only half a year."
For Origin Energy users, this period of time was the blink of an eye. However, to be able to reach the Battle Saint or Battle God level in such a short period of time was something that most people would never dare to dream of in their entire lives. Thus, the two women's faces were rosy and radiant, as if they had gone through a great deal of nourishment. Their complexions were exceptionally good.
This was especially true for Lan Bing. She had a head of delicate short hair, a beautiful face, and two slender, round legs. She was still wearing her professional attire and a pair of silver high heels, which made her figure even more graceful and perfect. Not only did she look alluring, but she also looked more mature and sexy.
Ding Meng felt that she was somewhat dazzling. Eisendale couldn't help but ask, "What are you staring at?"
"Ahem!"
Ding Meng felt guilty again. His gaze was fixed on her bulging chest. "Where are we going?"
Lan Bing said, "A place called the Flame Star."
The Flame Star was located in the eastern Deep Star Field of the Poison Cloud Devil Sea, where there were few people. Looking from space, there was a shining golden planet in the middle of many silver nebulae. It looked like a beautiful golden plate. In addition, there was a large amount of interstellar dust and all kinds of complicated meteorites around the nebulae. Ding Meng only needed a glance to know that the destination Xian Yuan had chosen was definitely a secret hinterland in the Devouring World.
However, when the Void Spirit Ray landed, Ding Meng realized that he had been completely fooled by the appearance of this planet. It was definitely not the golden world he had seen, but a planet with an environment like hell.
At this moment, Ding Meng felt as if he had returned to the Extreme Flame Star on the outskirts of the God Wars Star Field.
Yes, this was a completely reddish-brown world, just like Planet Scorching Sun. Everything on the ground was burning, and the temperature of the ground alone was as high as 2000 degrees Celsius, which was twice the temperature of Planet Extreme Flame. Of course, this was not a threat to Ding Meng and the others.
However, this place was different from Planet Extreme Flame. Although the ground was burning, most of the ground was still visible to the naked eye. They were all dark red stones. Isendale had experience in this area and took the initiative to explain, "This is the quenching rock that has been eroded by the high temperature for a long time. I estimate that this rock has been burned for at least ten thousand years."
The Celestial Core Power returned to the imprint on Ding Meng's face. "You underestimate this place. This planet has at least a few hundred thousand years of history."
Lan Bing also noticed that many of the rock peaks were constantly spewing out black energy streams. These energy streams contained a large amount of toxins. These toxins seemed to be a mixture of sulfuric acid, nitrogen, ammonia, and other chemical substances. However, after hundreds of thousands of years of repeated eruptions and conversion, they had now become a strange poison that could not be evaluated.
Ding Meng, Lan Bing, and Isendale stood on the scorched ground and looked around. Long Ye was already very weak. The Void Spirit Ray could only curl up on a huge rock and hibernate. The city rudder could not leave the Void Spirit Ray at all. With his strength, the environment outside could instantly melt him.
"Not many people come to this place, right?" Ding Meng took the initiative to ask.
The Celestial Core answered, "Definitely in the past, but not now."
Ding Meng said, "Oh?"
The Celestial Core Power sighed. "I've read ancient books about the Devouring World. It said that the Poison Cloud Devil Sea was originally the land of the Demon Race, but it became the Poison Cloud Devil Sea after the birth of our race."
Ding Meng absolutely agreed with this point. The situation on Planet Extreme Flame was the same. He thought of the Black Butterfly Demon of the Flame Butterfly Race. Perhaps this place had something to do with it.
"You've been here before, right?" Ding Meng asked again.
The Celestial Core Power had no choice but to tell the truth. "The ancient books recorded that the first queen of the Devouring World went to a place called the Flame Star, but the specific location was not specified. I found this place more than two hundred years ago. I guess the so-called Flame Star should be this place."
Isendale said, "This place is very suitable for Origin Energy users to cultivate."
Although that was the case, everyone knew that at their level, it did not matter which Element you were from. Even if Lan Bing was an Ice Element user, she could still convert heat after absorbing it. Of course, the Celestial Core Power did not choose this place simply for cultivation.
Ding Meng asked, "Can this place restore your real body?"
The Celestial Core Power said, "More than two hundred years ago, I built a sacred lake here in case I needed it in the future."
The King of the Devouring World had left a backup plan two centuries ago. Ding Meng nodded. "Understood. Show me the way. Let's go take a look!"
The location that the celestial core pointed to was a huge canyon that was hundreds of meters deep. This canyon was quite strange. There were steep stone walls on both sides for several kilometers, and the ground was very dry. There were rugged rocks in the canyon, and there were also tall shrubs and vegetation. However, these plants were not the traditional green herbs, but a kind of gaseous liquid plants that contained all kinds of energy. Strictly speaking, they only looked like plants in appearance, but they were energy bodies in essence.
In addition, there were all kinds of strange beasts and insects hidden in the canyon. They were all rare species that had never been seen before, and they were also energy bodies. However, when Ding Meng and the other two stepped into the canyon, these little monsters scattered in all directions, as if they were afraid of the three of them.
"It's normal!"
The Celestial Core Power explained, "You and the two ladies are very powerful now. Your aura has scared these little things away."
Ding Meng was surprised. "I've controlled my aura very well. Can these little animals sense it?"
The Celestial Core Power said, "Don't underestimate these Flame Star creatures. They are different from Origin Energy Cultivators. No matter how well you control your aura, they will always be able to sense it. This is because these creatures grew up in an environment of all kinds of energy from the day they were born. They are very sensitive to the aura of other races. It's normal for them to sense it."
Eisendale sighed. "Maybe this is the instinct of their race."
As they walked down the rocky path, the environment finally changed. This was no longer a burning world of reddish-brown, but a colorful flow of energy. The ground, rocks, vegetation, wildflowers, vines, and even the plant debris floating in the air were all sparkling. This was really a wonderful place.
If any low-level Origin Energy Cultivator from the Federal Empire was brought to this place, it would be like a treasure trove. They would probably be able to advance a lot in a short time. However, ordinary Origin Energy Cultivators couldn't come to this place. The temperature was too high, so sometimes, many places in the universe were contradictory.
In a spacious and flat space at the bottom of the canyon, the three of them finally saw a huge Tai Chi Eight Trigrams diagram on the ground. This was indeed the template of the Holy Lake, but the problem was that the Holy Lake was withered, and the pillars were the purest stones. There was no light or energy in the lake. This Holy Lake was in a "dead" state, no different from the underground ruins of Thousand Sails Star.
Xian Yuan said in a low voice, "Not good. Someone has been here. The energy of the Holy Lake is gone."
Anyone who could come to the Flame Star was definitely not an ordinary person. Ding Meng couldn't help but ask, "Is it the leader of another sect?"
Xian Yuan said coldly, "We can't rule out this possibility. After all, a hundred years have passed. Anything can happen, but anyone who can come here is definitely not simple."
At this time, a creature that looked like a kitten was watching Ding Meng and the others from the lakeside not far away. This kitten's entire body was glowing white, and its pair of yellow and orange eyes were constantly moving. Women generally had no resistance to cute little things like this.
Eisendale couldn't help but meow a few times like a cat. The kitten curiously moved a few steps toward her. Ding Meng was curious. "What's going on?"
Xian Yuan said decisively, "Don't meow. Be careful of attracting bad things. These animals aren't as simple as they look."
Lan Bing was also interested. "I don't think this kitten is as scared of us as other small animals. Maybe it thinks we have something it needs."
Eisendale thought for a moment and said, "They live in this energy environment, so they must rely on energy to survive. Let me try."
As she spoke, she reached for her all-purpose bag and took out a small crystal bottle. The bottle was full of glowing stones. At first glance, one could tell that they were pure natural high-grade crystals.
Eisendale threw three crystals to the kitten. The kitten looked like it had received a treasure. It crawled on the ground and held the crystals with its paws. The crystals slowly turned into three white streams of air. The kitten breathed in the air with its nose. This way of eating was unheard of.
After absorbing the crystals, the kitten's color became brighter. It had obviously grown. It even jumped happily.
"Ha!" Eisendale was amused.
For a moment, Ding Meng and Lan Bing were also affected. They couldn't help but feel happy.
After jumping for a while, the kitten looked at Eisendale. Then it turned around and walked a few steps before turning back to look at Eisendale.
Lan Bing said decisively, "It wants us to follow it?"
"I think so!" Eisendale immediately took a few steps forward.
As expected, the kitten turned around and continued to walk towards the bottom of the valley. Ding Meng was also interested. "Let's follow it and see where it's taking us. Maybe we can find some clues."
The kitten moved very fast. It rushed towards the deepest part of the valley like an arrow. Ordinary creatures couldn't move this fast. Fortunately, Ding Meng and the other two were very powerful and followed it.
In the deepest part of the canyon, there were too many plants in various energy states. It was as dazzling as the Fairy Trail Forest. In the middle of a field of vines, a towering tree appeared in front of them. Countless colorful stars floated and floated between the branches. This was simply a fairytale world.
"It's so beautiful!" Lan Bing and Eisendale exclaimed in unison.
However, Ding Meng suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?" Lan Bing asked with concern.
Ding Meng sighed deeply. "I didn't expect there to be a holy tree here!"
