The Thane of the Fire Emperor Sect, Wuya Tie, was slain.
Watching the scene unfold, the remaining disciples of the Fire Emperor Sect all wore expressions of surprise, their eyes filled with shock.
Linglong Huo did not turn around to look at the disciples behind her. Instead, she walked to Qingfeng Li’s side and spoke in a respectful tone.
Thank you so much for bringing the Fire Emperor’s ashes back. And for helping me kill Wuya Tie in order to avenge my senior brother.

Qingfeng Li smiled.
Linglong Huo,
he said,
you don’t need to thank me. On Earth, I had also received help from the Fire Emperor. All I’m doing now is fulfilling his last wishes.

He paused, before continuing.
Is there anything else you need?



Linglong Huo shook her head. With the ashes of the Fire Emperor in her hand, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li stopped her.
Wait,
he said.
Linglong Huo turned back to him, her stiffened face betraying a hint of confusion as she spoke.
Is there anything else?

Qingfeng Li reached into his interspatial ring and produced two tomes containing Supreme level techniques, and one supreme level elixir. He handed these to Linglong Huo.
These are for you.

Initially, Linglong Li intended to reject the gift. But faced with Qingfeng Li’s strong insistence, she finally accepted it.
Qingfeng Li did this as a gesture of thanks for the Fire Emperor. After all, the Fire Emperor Sword that he was currently using and the Fire Emperor Sutra that he had practice were all given to him by the Fire Emperor.
Expressing her gratitude to Qingfeng Li once more, Linglong Huo turned and led her remaining disciples away from this place.
The Second Prince walked to Qingfeng Li’s side.
Are we going to go look for the monarch soul fruit now?
he asked.
Qingfeng Li shook his head.
Let’s go raise our strength, first,
he said.
The Crimson Fire Desert is exceptionally dangerous. Aside from self-cultivators from the five kingdoms, there are still other powerful forces.

Indicating the interspatial ring, he continued.
I’ve just gotten a lot of elixirs, spirit herbs, and vitality stones from Yijian Jin’s interspatial ring. They can help everyone increase their strengths.



The Second Prince nodded, agreeing with Qingfeng Li’s suggestion. He, too, knew that they were in grave danger here in the Crimson Fire Desert. And although Qingfeng Li was very strong, he was still only one man.
If they were to encounter a group of people, then the situation would become difficult. There was, after all, no way Qingfeng Li could protect the entire group.
Qingfeng Li instructed the Desert Giant to lead the way to an inconspicuous dune ahead of them. The dune rose up high on all four sides, leaving a depression in the middle. Looking from the outside, no one would be able to tell.
Qingfeng Li took out the interspatial ring he had taken from Yijian Jin. From within, he produced massive amounts of elixirs and spirit herbs; these were Supreme level and Emperor level treasures!
He distributed these among the people around him, giving one to each person. Even Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake got their share.

Everyone, quickly absorb the elixirs I gave you to increase your power,
Qingfeng Li instructed.
Then, we’re going to go find the monarch soul fruit.

After he spoke, Qingfeng Li took the lead and sat down with his legs crossed. He took out an elixir for himself; this was a supreme level elixir.
This elixir took the form of a sphere the size of his thumb. It was gold all over, emitting a sparking golden light. On the surface of the elixir, there was a hint of golden talisman scriptures blinking within.
Qingfeng Li popped the supreme level elixir into his mouth and crushed it with his teeth. Then, activating his Heavenly Immortal Chant, a stream of golden energy appeared within him. It guided the immense vital essence from the elixir into his lower abdomen, and then his spirit core.
The space in which Qingfeng Li’s spirit core resided was like an ocean, capable of storing a limitless amount of vital essence. After absorbing such a massive amount of vital essence, the space began to expand. At the same time, the spirit core underwent a massive change.


On the surface of the spirit core, there appeared two marks. Two marks was the indicator that the sun spirit core had reached the second level of the supreme realm.
Qingfeng Li stood up, the muscles all over his body bulging outward and making him look like a giant.
Scooping up a handful of sand from the ground, Qingfeng Li griped around it gently. The dense grains of sand were reduced to a powder.
The sand in the Crimson Fire Desert was no ordinary sand, being as hard as Fourth Grade meteor stone. That was why the sand storms in this area were extremely dangerous.
But now, with just the power of his fingers, Qingfeng Li had ground them to dust. That is to say, if it was a piece of tier 4 meteor stone in Qingfeng Li’s hand, it too would have been crushed to a powder.
Looking around him, Qingfeng Li noticed that the Second Prince, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Li Yang, and the Desert Giant were still in meditation, along with the dozen or so black-clad figures. They had not finished absorbing their elixirs.
Qingfeng Li walked to the top of the sand dune. Lifting his head, he looked into the distance. However, all he saw was yellow sand, a far as his eyes could see. It seemed to stretch out into infinity, and he could not see a single oasis or water source.
As a self-cultivator, Qingfeng Li could go a long time without food and water. But it was so dry in the desert; even self-cultivators will lose a large amount of water to evaporation. If they didn’t replenish their water in time, their strength could decline dramatically as they become physically depleted.
A few minutes later, below the sand dune, others awoke from their meditation, including the Second Prince, Li Yang, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Desert Giant.
Their strengths had all grown, especially the Second Prince and Sky-Devouring Snake. These two had broken through to the Supreme Realm.


Qingfeng Li wasn’t too surprised that the Second Prince was able to reach the Supreme Realm. But the fact that Sky-Devouring Snake had a breakthrough made him very happy.
He knew of the power of Sky-Devouring Snake; it was an actual ancient godly beast, only it had to cultivate its power from the beginning again.
Sky-Devouring Snake was the ancestor of snakes, it had its own super powers. Once it reached the Supreme Realm, its special powers would become even more powerful. This meant that, in the perilous Crimson Fire Desert, they had another way to protect themselves.
Qingfeng Li glanced at the Desert Giant, asking,
Where in the Crimson Fire Desert do you think the monarch soul fruit would be?


Master,
the Desert Giant replied.
I’ve once heard the Desert Queen mention that the monarch soul fruit was located at the heart of the Crimson Fire Desert. There is a very tall mountain, made entirely from golden sand. It’s supposed to be very dangerous.

Qingfeng Li nodded.
Then our next target is the heart of the Crimson Fire Desert.

Qingfeng Li had a map of the Crimson Fire Desert from five hundred years ago, as well as the Desert Giant for a guide. But the desert was like the ocean, its weather changing without warning. Where, just moments before, it had been clear skies as far as the eye could see, the air was now filled by a raging sandstorm.
A black wind swept across the sky, whisking up golden sand from the ground. The sand spun and twirled, forming a series of massive sandstorms.
The sandstorm seemed to tear apart the air and the void, shaking up the world around them like it wanted to destroy it all.
Luckily, both Qingfeng Li and his group had just increased their strengths by a wide margin. Only then, they could defend against this destructive sandstorm.


Through the black sandstorm, Qingfeng Li could see the fragmented corpses of self-cultivators and evil beasts, all torn up into chunks.
When Qingfeng Li and company finally made it out of the area covered by the storm, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Li Yang raised a snow-white hand, and pointing ahead, she cried,
Big Brother Li, look! There is an oasis ahead; it has water. We can replenish our water supplies there.
