Daji displayed a ingratiating smile, trying to cunningly pass by.
Deng Chanyu remained silent, waiting for her explanation.
Daji's eyes flickered, and she dared not look at her.
Seeing that it was impossible to deceive any longer, she whispered an explanation: "It's true that I have never had much of a drinking capacity before; no, I didn't drink alcohol at all when I was young; it was my two brothers who did, and I just watched from the side. It was them who corrupted me!"
"And then what happened?"
"And later, later was when I trained for a while in the underworld; as you know, there are mostly rough people there, and if you don't know how to drink, you will never be able to fit in; you keep saying circles of friends, right? You know it!"
Deng Chanyu smiled ambiguously, "What do I know? At the drinking session last month, which one passed out after drinking half a bottle? You know, lying means swallowing a thousand needles!"
Daji could only cover her embarrassment with laughter: "Ha ha ha---I feel that my physical condition has recovered quite a bit, let's quickly head into the mountain, otherwise the sun will be up soon!"
"Hmph, this time I'll let you go."
"Cheeky cheery."
Thanks to harmless jokes, Daji regained some of her energy and the two of them accelerated their flying speed.
Deng Chanyu occasionally glanced around.
Yan Zhi Mountain is in the western region, and ordinary immortals would not wander here. However, it's hard to say about sages; with Nuwa and Lady Pingxin present, it's unlikely that Chengqí would jump out to challenge them. But you never know; being cautious is always good.
After reaching Yan Zhi Mountain, it took half an hour, and finally they found the valley where the Sun Star dwelled.
Like the Dark Moon Star, the Sun Star appears as a celestial body on the surface, but in reality, it is a world.
On the Dark Moon Star, one can easily enter the inner realm of Guanghan Palace from the outer one. However, there are no visible buildings on the Sun Star; it looks like an enormous fireball. Fortunately, this world is unclaimed, so Deng Chanyu quickly found a spatial portal and pulled Di Jishi into the Sun Star realm.
Di Jishi drank another two bottles of wine. Since there was none left on Deng Chanyu's side, she couldn't have more. Why would she carry so much wine with her when she doesn't need it?
"No, I feel even hotter inside!"
The interior of the Sun Star was even hotter and more unbearable.
A normal Dark Moon Star world should be peaceful and harmonious, but the Sun Star world is fiery and violent. In this situation, it fits Deng Chanyu's established impression.
"Don't worry," Deng Chanyu said. "My teacher has mentioned that there is an emperor's hidden palace hidden within this world, where it should be cooler. Are you still planning to temper your martial will?"
Di Jishi weakly shook her head.
Deng Chanyu took out the Moon Essence Wheel and handed it to her for cooling purposes: "I'll look for the location of that hidden palace. If you encounter any enemies, call me through the Moon Essence Wheel."
The fire spiritual energy inside the Sun Star has turned into a tangible form, greatly hindering the function of the spiritual consciousness for Daji. If she normally calls, she definitely wouldn't hear it. However, it can be communicated through the Moon Essence Wheel with the help of the Moon Elegance Sage.
Di Jishi attached the Moon Essence Wheel to her forehead, and the moonlight flowed, reducing the scorching heat by a third.
She cautioned, "Be careful as well. There are quite a few immortals and gods practicing fire arts in the Primordial World, and there might be other immortals or gods here."
Is there still life here? Deng Chanyu scrutinized the surroundings, without her spiritual consciousness, she couldn't tell if there were any other living creatures in this world for a while.
"Alright, I'll remember."
She transformed into the form of a golden sun with her Ba Jiou Xuan Gong, soared into the sky, and then quickly flew in a specific direction.
Deng Chanyu is searching for the hidden palace mentioned by Nuwa.
As she was flying, a fiery ball, similar to a sun, suddenly appeared on the side of the sky and collided straight towards her direction.
Could there really be other beings here? Are they the indigenous beings of the Sun Star?
She quickly restored her human form.
"Please refrain from attacking, kind fellow!"
A blonde man appeared within the fiery ball. The man had a slightly peculiar facial structure, not resembling people from the Central Plains. He was bare-chested, with various rings hanging from his eyebrows, nose, and lips. His muscular upper arms were adorned with crimson decorations, and his wrists and fingers were adorned with various jewelry as well.
"Golden sun? My luck is truly amazing!" The man held a large net in his hand, looking like he was about to capture the golden sun. Seeing the sudden transformation of the golden sun, he was stunned for a moment, but then he raised his arm and threw the net at Deng Chanyu.
"Ares! You are looking for death!" Deng Chanyu had intended to say a few courteous words, but she didn't expect the other party to directly attack. Do they behave so brazenly on a daily basis?
The Ares clan is known for their boldness and ferocity, and they do not cultivate their character. In the eyes of the Xuanmen (mystical school), this is the lowest level of the path to cultivation.
Deng Chanyu drew her finger in front of her and a layer of spatial barriers accumulated. The net seemed to move incredibly fast, but in reality, it had already become trapped in an infinite spatial cycle.
As she contemplated, the fire spiritual energy around her quickly gathered, and then she pointed with great force, sending a blazing red flame bursting from her fingertip and charging at the blonde man in its purest form.
The South Bright Flame absorbed even more fire spiritual energy as it flew, transforming into a sea of flames connecting the heavens and the earth in an instant. The temperature here was so high that it seemed capable of decomposing all things.
The blonde man spoke in an eccentric accent, "What ignorance! Using flames to deal with a Sun God? I will teach you well. Remember my name, I am Suriyah, the Sun God!"
Two more arms grew from Suriyah's shoulder blades, and the four palms rhythmically slapped against each other. His body burst out with billions of scorching beams, from inside to outside. At the peak of his brilliance, he secretly donned a dark battle armor.
He roared loudly, a huge suction appeared in his chest and abdomen, and his face contorted into a ferocious expression as if he wanted to swallow the South Bright Flame whole.
Then, having absorbed less than two percent of the flames, Suriyah felt as if he was spraying fire from the inside out. His body, which could withstand endless sunlight, was constantly sending out dangerous signals.
He was greatly startled and immediately began to introspect.
The characteristic of the South Bright Flame is that its temperature during combustion is incredibly high. Even the things in the chaos realm can be decomposed to an extreme extent.
Suriyah was indeed somewhat skilled. Upon realizing that he could not absorb the South Bright Flame, his battle armor shone with rays of light, forcefully expelling the South Bright Flame he had swallowed and colliding it with the remaining South Bright Flame.
A resounding "thunderclap"!
"Ahem! What an amazing armor!" Deng Chanyu called out in a rather exaggerated manner, leaving behind a pile of ashes at the spot and hiding herself in a hidden space.
Suriyah, located in the center of the explosion, coughed up blood violently, with scorch marks all over his body.
He took a long time to get up, his injuries were severe, but the armor had protected him from most of the damage, and his own fire resistance was indeed high enough to withstand it for now.
He looked at Deng Chanyu's "corpse" for a while and shook his head. The golden sun flame ability is indeed powerful, but the body is too weak, and a single explosion's residual shock can kill him. It's really a pity.
