Ye Qiluo looked tiredly at the small box in front of her. This was the last thing Li Yuanqing had left behind before he left. He left just like that, as if he did not care about anything. She thought that Li Yuanqing would stay longer this time, but she had been too tired recently and did not have time to spend with Young Master Li.

“Hall Master, didn’t he say anything else before he left?”

“Saintess, Young Master Li didn’t say anything before he left. He only left this behind. I think Young Master Li’s trip will be extremely dangerous. How could we sit by and do nothing? If…”

“If?”

“If anything happens to Young Master Li, who can our entire human race rely on?”

Ye Qiluo took a deep breath and opened the box in front of her. There was a small black platform inside. She had seen this platform before. It was the devil crystal platform that Li Yuanqing often held in his hand.

Her eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the small item in front of her. It was an extremely valuable item.

Li Yuanqing loved these things so much that he often brought them with him to fight enemies. Moreover, he had made extraordinary contributions when facing powerful enemies.

Why did Li Yuanqing leave behind such a treasure? What if he encountered any more danger?

“City Lord, City Lord, how are you? Are you alright?”

“Where is Young Master Li now?”

“I don’t know either. However, with Young Master Li’s speed, I’m afraid he’s far away.”

Ten thousand miles away, on a continuous mountain range, a lonely figure stood at the top of the mountain and scanned down.

The hot aura dozens of miles ahead pounced on his face. Even though he was so far away, he could still clearly feel the heat. He searched for a day and finally found the desert that Hall Master Wang had mentioned.

It was this continuous mountain range that blocked the heat emitted by the desert. Otherwise, if this heat spread inside, the entire continent would probably become such a desolate desert.

There was not a single blade of grass on the outside of the mountain range. The stones had completely split up, and there were waves on one side of the entire mountain range. The shape of the wind could be clearly seen.

This power and destruction was probably the Golden Light Lake that Hall Master Wang had mentioned.

Originally, according to Hall Master Wang, although the Golden Light Lake was very terrifying, it was not enough to make people shrink back. However, when he really saw it today, he could not help but be shocked.

Before he could see the Golden Light Lake, he was already burned by such terrifying flames. Li Yuanqing was a little worried about what would happen when he got closer.

However, his goal this time was to find the place indicated by Blood Vine. He had to find it. It was important to him.

After confirming the direction, Li Yuanqing jumped down from the mountain peak. His body only appeared in the air for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

The hot heat of the desert roasted all the creatures here. A few scorpions were digging restlessly under the sand. They seemed to feel a threat. They had dug especially hard today.

The sand behind them suddenly lit up. A huge hand came down from above and grabbed the back of the scorpion, catching the poisonous creature that was digging.

In the eyes of others, this little scorpion was an extremely terrifying existence. As long as one touched the thorns on its body, half of their body would be paralyzed. However, this fellow in front of it was actually so arrogant that he directly grabbed it. He was simply lawless.

The little scorpion waved its tail, wanting to rely on the twisting of its tail to adjust the direction of its entire body. It wanted to use the sharp hooks on its tail to sting the enemy behind it and teach this fellow a lesson.

However, Li Yuanqing would not give it such a chance. He held it firmly and flipped the little scorpion over to place it in front of him. He observed it carefully, and it was unknown what he was looking at.

“The patterns here are much heavier. It looks like we’re getting closer.”

Li Yuanqing, who was holding the scorpion, had an ancient expression on his face. Even someone as strong as him had lost a lot of spiritual energy after traveling in such a desert for a few days.

The desert here was very vast, and the restrictions on spiritual energy were too serious.

If Li Yuanqing ran with all his might, it would definitely not take so long. However, he could not replenish his spiritual energy here.

The spiritual energy here had all been assimilated by that special power, bringing with it a very irritable corrosive power. If it was simply absorbed into his body, it would easily injure him without adjustment.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing had thick spiritual energy in his body. Although he had consumed a lot of spiritual energy, he could still withstand it.

After a few days, he felt like he was getting closer and closer. The patterns on the animals here became clearer and clearer. They, the spirit beasts, were all deeply affected by this lake.

All the spirit beasts growing at the side had special patterns on their bodies. Those special patterns were not especially eye-catching from the outside, but they became more and more obvious the deeper he went.

At this point, the patterns were completely engraved in every corner of their bodies.

Moreover, there was a faint golden light circulating on the pattern. This was a new situation that he had discovered after entering.

At this moment, a very strong signal suddenly came from Li Yuanqing’s heart. He was very familiar with this signal. It was the signal of the Blood Vine.

The Blood Vine instructed him to head in a direction.

Li Yuanqing followed the direction of the feeling and slowly explored forward.

After walking for about a hundred miles, he found the little fellow in a very inconspicuous sand dune.

This was the seed of the Blood Vine. It was very shriveled now and was about to turn into dry wood. Usually, seeds were very round and energetic, but there was no vitality on this little fellow. One could only see that it was half-dead, but at least it could still survive.

Li Yuanqing was surprised by the powerful vitality of this thing and took it back. He did not know how this little seed had climbed here step by step. The process must have been very difficult. However, the most important thing was what its motive was for him to break through the layers of obstacles and spend so much effort to get here.

Li Yuanqing recalled the words that the Blood Vine often said to him in the past.

He said that he had discovered a place where the treasures of an Immortal King were hidden and wanted to trick him over. As long as he obtained these treasures, he would be able to dominate the entire Demon Realm. Could this be the places he had discovered?

Li Yuanqing felt the powerful force coming from inside and carefully explored it.

The temperature in the desert was getting higher and higher. The dregs under his feet had also turned transparent white, as if flames would spray out at any moment.

This feeling was very bad and made one feel very insecure.

As expected, Li Yuanqing suddenly felt nothing under his feet as he walked. He raised his feet and his body soared into the air. He landed in midair and looked at the place he had just stepped on.

He did not even sense that the sand under his feet had melted because the temperature was too high. It could still hold on when no one stepped on it, but with the weight of such a person, it directly destroyed the entire structure of the sand. The sand could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Li Yuanqing no longer dared to walk here on foot. He rose into the air and rushed in without looking back. He was about to reach the core. This was the purpose of his trip. No matter what, he had already arrived here. He had to go in and see what was inside.

A dazzling golden light blinded people. The light was like a living arrow that pierced into their eyeballs, wanting to shatter them.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to be careless. He covered his eyes and took out the special glasses he had prepared previously to block his eyes.

In fact, this was something that Hall Master Wang was really worried about and specially prepared for Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing originally thought that he would not need it, but it seemed that he was thinking too much. This thing was indeed useful.

After wearing these glasses, all the light seemed to have weakened greatly. He did not expect this thing to be unexpectedly useful.

There was indeed a lake in front of him. It was a very wide lake.

The lake flickered with a golden color. The color was completely different from what he had seen in his illusion.

However, it must have been distorted by the power here when the seed transmitted the signal back.

However, where was he going to find the use of this key in this vast lake?

Li Yuanqing took out the key and looked at the vast lake in front of him in distress. He had to find an answer here, but it did not look like he could find any answers now.

He took out the little baby and held it in his palm, looking at him helplessly. This little guy was really heartless. He was already so badly battered, but the little guy really did not feel anything at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Li Yuanqing still made up his mind. Since he was standing on the lake in the dream, and there seemed to be someone under the lake, it meant that as long as he could come to the lake, he would definitely discover something.

Yes, that had to be it. There was no mistake. That was the way the dream guided him.

Li Yuanqing gently stepped on the surface of the lake. At this moment, the surface of the lake was still very calm. Even if he stepped on it, there would be no waves.

However, as soon as his foot landed, he felt an extremely dangerous feeling devouring him. This feeling was extremely strong, making him very uneasy. He suddenly retracted his foot.

Just as his body was about to come into contact with the lake, a long tentacle suddenly extended out.

At first, the tentacle was just a small dot. Slowly, it became a large pile and wrapped around Li Yuanqing’s ankle.

It was the power of fire that had materialized. Most of the power had already condensed into his unique soul.

Although the little fire spirits did not have high spiritual energy, they had a lot of it. The entire lake was formed by these spirit bodies.

Li Yunqing looked at his feet with lingering fear. If he had stepped down just now, he would have been wrapped by those things and would not have been able to escape.

He took out a small boat. This small boat was made of a very cold black jade. This jade was the water of extreme yin, representing pure water-attribute energy.

Li Yuanqing tentatively threw the boat onto the lake. He even carefully took a step back.

After being thrown out, the boat gently floated up. Under it, a puff of white smoke isolated the hull from the lake below.

The fire spirits below seemed to hate the thing above very much and were avoiding it. They even formed a small depression, as if this small boat was sailing on the lake.

Seeing this, Li Yuanqing hurriedly jumped into the small boat and drove it slowly towards the center of the Golden Light Lake.

Li Yuanqing sat in the middle of the lake while the little guy sat on his shoulder. The two of them straightened their bodies and looked ahead.

The Golden Light Lake was endless. He had been walking like this for an hour, but there was no change.

It was so quiet all around that there was no sound at all. Only the sound of the little fire spirits jumping out and playing with each other was slightly different from the sound of water falling. This sound was even thicker, making people feel that there was a very abundant energy jumping in their ears.

Li Yuanqing still had not found the place he was looking for. What was that place? Li Yuanqing did not know.

The little guy was hugging a medium-grade spirit stone on his shoulder and eating it like it was a pea cake. He ate to his heart’s content and was not polite at all.

Li Yuanqing kept asking the little guy in his heart, but the little guy was still not anxious. It seemed like he had yet to reach the critical moment.

“Blood Vine, I’ve come to such a dangerous place for a key. You can’t harm me.”

Li Yuanqing pulled the little guy over and widened his eyes.

The little guy’s eyes innocently fanned the flames like a harmless child.

He was just a child. What could he say?

“I shouldn’t have believed you would come to such a place. It’s really…”

Just as Li Yuanqing was complaining, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

“Congratulations on signing in successfully!”
