The Guoteng Daoist, ignoring everything, turned into a streak of stars, carrying Xie Wuyang's scroll towards the Eastern Sea.

    Chen Yun, Nahe, and Yaohe seized the initiative, desiring to eliminate all evil and kill the danger in its cradle, refusing to show weakness and chasing frantically.

    The five people are all immortals, and their flying speed is so fast that it is almost inconceivable.

    In a blink of an eye, they had traversed mountains and rivers, arriving at the far-eastern land.

    The Guoteng Daoist saw that Chen Yun and the others were pursuing him without ceasing, and he was truly both surprised and angry.

    Just that he is currently grievously injured.

    Burning life is also a temporary solution.

    There is absolutely no strength left to counterattack.

    Just wanting to get rid of the three behind him as soon as possible.

    However, regardless of how Guoteng Daoist fled, he could never get rid of Nahe and the scroll he carried, which also contained Chen Yun and Yaohe.

    In an instant, deep in the hearts of Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang, an overwhelming sense of desolation and the end of all hope spontaneously arose.

    If not for any unexpected incidents, today they really might have to fall here as brothers!

    Perhaps he thought of this, Xie Wuyang could not help but break down in tears, "Brother, it is my fault that I have harmed you. If it was not for my rebellious son causing trouble and enmity with that Chen Piao child, you and I would not have been reduced to this today. Brother, I am indeed ashamed of myself!"

    Guoteng Daoist said solemnly, "Brother, what are you saying? You and I are brothers-in-arms. If we really have to fall victim to the young Chen Piao's treachery today, I, the Way-bearer, will accept it."

    It has to be said that although the two of them are enemies of Chen Yun, they are both very loyal to each other. Even at the critical moment of life and death, they never blamed each other.

    Especially Guoteng Daoist, he relied on the ultimate skill of burning life. If he were to flee alone, there was a possibility of escaping. However, he preferred to share the same fate as Xie Wuyang rather than surviving by being shady.

    Xie Wuyang suddenly said, "Brother, you set me down and go to escape alone. There is still hope for you to avenge my grudge and seek revenge in the future!"

    "Let's die together, I will not leave you alone to survive!"

    Guoteng Daoist's tone was resolute to the extreme.

    Xie Wuyang said anxiously, "I know you are loyal to me, but it's better to die as one than as two. You should save your own life first and then worry about the rest."

    Guoteng Daoist still wouldn't budge, "Brother, my decision has been made. You can no longer persuade me!"

    Xie Wuyang couldn't help but sigh deeply, almost wanting to immediately end his life in front of Guoteng Daoist so that the latter could ignore him and escape.

    However, he had just been swept away by the residual waves of Chen Yun's Seven Treasures Magic Tree, and his magical power had not yet recovered.

    Although he could barely escape as a streak of light, he could not do so in order to destroy his powerful immortal body and commit suicide.

    At that moment, Xie Wuyang was filled with intense hatred towards why he had to cultivate the Shape Forging Technique, as now he could not even commit suicide.

    Suddenly, Guoteng Daoist seemed to think of something, "Brother, do you remember the time we went to the place of sunrise?"

    Xie Wuyang suddenly woke up and had an idea as well, his face shining with excitement, "Are you saying that we are running away to Tang Valley?"

    Guoteng Daoist lightly nodded, "Tang Valley is the place of sunrise, filled with countless fushanzhu trees and infinite sunfire. Inside is even more chaotic qi flow. As long as we can escape to Tang Valley, find a place to hide, they definitely cannot find us!"

    Tang Valley is a place in mythology known as the place of sunrise.

    It is recorded that: In the vast wastelands there is a mountain named Nü Yáo Jiūdī, upon which stands a fushanzhu tree that stretches for three hundred li, its leaves as small as cress. There is a valley called Wēnyuán Gǔ. On top of Tang Valley stands a fushanzhu tree, with the sun rising and setting from it, all carried by black birds; and further west for three hundred and fifty li lies Tiānshān Mountain, rich in gold and jade, with turquoise and xionghuang present. Yīngshuǐ springs from it and flows southwest into Tang Valley. There exists a god whose form resembles a yellow bag that is red like fire, with six feet and four wings. It has no face or form but recognizes dance and song; it is actually Dì Jiāng.

    It is said that the legendary Tang Valley is filled with an endless supply of true sunfire.

    Ordinary people who enter the Tang Valley will immediately be incinerated.

    But the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity is usually.

    In some places in the Tang Valley, far from the sun's true fire, there exist celestial and spiritual roots that are not found in ordinary holes or paradises of land.

    It is precisely because the Tang Valley is filled with true sunfire, which makes the spiritual energy extremely chaotic. Therefore, even immortals who enter the place cannot easily detect the situation through their spiritual awareness. They have to rely on their own magical powers to resist the invasion of true sunfire while observing the situation with their eyes.

    Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang have been driven to the brink of despair. Now, they are hoping to escape from Chen Yun's group by utilizing the chaotic environment of Tang Valley, in hopes of gaining a glimmer of hope.

    After their discussion, the two no longer felt the sorrow they had just experienced.

    Without hesitation, Guoteng Daoist brought his powers to their maximum, transforming into an even more intense light stream that broke through the limitations of time and space at once, and appeared in the far-eastern land.

    ...

    Chen Yun, Nahe, and Yaohe pursued for a long time but could never get close to the streak of starlight in front. However, they were not in a hurry, as they all knew that Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang were injured. As long as they kept pursuing from behind, once Guoteng and Xie's injuries flared up and they ran out of strength, they would definitely catch up and be able to eliminate the two scoundrels.

    In the original plan, indeed, things turned out as they three had expected.

    Who would have thought that after chasing for a long time, the streak of light in front suddenly shone with incredibly intense light, and then sped up, leaving them far behind.

    Nahe's face changed immediately, "Could Guoteng and Xie Wuyang, the two brats, still have some leftover strength?"

    Chen Yun was also somewhat unsure and thought that Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang had been hiding their strength until just now.

    Fortunately, Yaohe quickly figured out Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang's plan.

    Yaohe squinted his eyes and said, "Brother, Master Chen, I observe the direction in which the two old scoundrels are fleeing—it seems to be heading towards Tang Valley. If I'm not mistaken, they must be trying to flee to Tang Valley and use the chaos of the true sunfire to completely leave us behind."

    Nahe said, "It seems they've reached a dead end and have no choice but to enter dangerous places like Tang Valley."

    Yaohe asked, "Then what should we do?"

    Nahe revealed a cruel smile and said, "Of course, we should pursue them. Tang Valley is their last hope for survival. As long as we can trap them in Tang Valley, we will definitely find them."

    He said, "Master Chen, what do you think?"

    Chen Yun was naturally eager to immediately eliminate Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang.

    He said without hesitation, "We will pursue them and today, we must not let these two old scoundrels go unpunished. It is difficult to satisfy my heartache!"

    Nahe said, "Good, since we know where they're heading, there's no need to hurry."

    The three of them slowed down and flew towards the direction of Tang Valley.

    Although their speed had slowed down, the three of them were still immortals, so they were still flying at an incomparably rapid pace.

    ...

    Within a whisker of a censer, they had arrived.

    Chen Yun, Nahe, and Yaohe had traversed the heavens and earth, seeing that they were about to reach the Huixu land.

    Chen Yun could see from a distance that the Huixu was constantly engulfing seawater, as if it would never be filled.

    While around the Huixu, there stood a huge claw that pointed towards the sky!

    Upon seeing this, Chen Yun was greatly shocked.

    He couldn't have imagined that this world was exactly like in the myths and legends, where heaven and earth were nearly overlapping. It turned out that it was because the female celestial, Wei Hua, had cut off the great turtle's claw, established the four poles, and supported heaven and earth.

    While in awe, Nahe pointed to the direction of the thick smoke and flames, saying, "That's Tang Valley over there."

    Chen Yun withdrew his gaze from Huixu and the turtle claw, and looked in the direction Nahe had indicated.

    At the end of the vast ocean, infinite streams of true sunfire were rising.

    And at the entrance filled with true sunfire, it seemed like there was a gap.

    Chen Yun immediately said, "Let's go inside!"

    Yaohe hurriedly said, "Invoke your magic to protect yourself, or you'll be incinerated by the sunfire."

    After a round of communication, the three immediately called upon their internal magical powers, covering themselves from head to toe.

    They instantly burst through the true sunfire and entered the hole.

    An overwhelming, scorching heat was felt.

    Chen Yun's internal magical powers were consumed at a much faster rate.

    He remained unfazed and continued to weave through.

    The scenery before them shook.

    When the shaking subsided, Chen Yun saw himself as if he had entered a world made of fire.

    The horizon stretched out endlessly, filled with endless true sunfire that burned in flames a hundred thousand zhang high and was still surging, much like the waves in the ocean.

    The terrifying heat distorted the space, making it impossible to probe the surroundings with one's spiritual awareness.

    Chen Yun could only rely on his eyes to observe, but he could never find the trace of Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang.

    Nahe said, "They should not have gone too deep. If they did, the essence of true sunfire inside would certainly burn them to ashes. The essence of true sunfire is a fire essence that even immortals dare not directly oppose."

    Yaohe agreed, "Yes, let's search around the perimeter. We'll definitely find them."

    Chen Yun said, "Okay."

    The three continued to weave through the true sunfire, although their speed had slowed down to that of flying through clouds.

    They flew while looking around, searching for the figures of Guoteng Daoist and Xie Wuyang.

    Just like they disappeared out of thin air.

    Chen Yun and the others had been weaving through for nearly an hour without finding anyone.

    As the sunfire around them grew ever more intense, Yaohe couldn't take it anymore. "Brother, Master Chen, we should find a place without sunfire to rest for a moment; my magic power is almost depleted," he called out.

    Chen Yun knew that Yaohe had been injured, and he himself had the ability to recover, but Yaohe did not. It was only natural for his magic power to be exhausted now.

    He pointed to a dark, shadowy area devoid of flames, "Let's go there to rest for a moment."

    Nahe said, "Good."

    The three flew to the shadowy area.

    A cold, crisp air swept by, causing Chen Yun to shiver involuntarily.

    He carefully observed his surroundings and found that this was a gorge filled with various celestial and earthly roots.

    Moreover, he wondered if there were any treasures here, as a river of white coldness filled the space, separating the true sunfire outside. However, this coldness did not truly freeze them to immobility. It was truly odd to an extreme degree.

    Chen Yun had originally intended to simply sit down on a rock.

    However, as soon as he landed, he was startled and looked towards the depths of the gorge.

    On the other side, there was a plant the size of a copper basin, resembling a dandelion, growing in the darkness.

    Around the giant dandelion, there was a mist that diffused around it, in clumps the size of fists, resembling white clouds.

    Chen Yun's heart trembled. Could it be... White Cloud Grassroot?
