Although this place is called Blazing Hell, Lingfeng searched an entire mountain and did not see a single ghost. Along the way, Lingfeng discovered several corpses of Fire Mice and casually picked up a few Fire Mouse pelts. Lingfeng knew that the pelts of Fire Mice are high-quality materials; clothes made from them not only resist fire but also become clean again with just a little heat.
There was no water in Blazing Hell, and even the lakes were filled with flames. At this moment, Lingfeng had been here for nearly an hour, and his mouth felt somewhat parched, yet he still had not seen the guiding spiritual light from Elder Yang.
"Could it be that Elder Yang has exhausted his magic and cannot activate the formation?" Lingfeng thought, feeling a bit disappointed. However, thinking about the Fire Protection Formation excited him, and he was unwilling to return just like that.
The Fire Protection Formation and the Fire Control Scripture were originally one entity. Later, the Spirit Sect stole the Fire Control Scripture, leaving only the Fire Protection Formation behind. To prevent the Fire Protection Formation from being stolen as well, the previous elder cast a spell with Mingyue Elder and Stardust Elder to open a path to Blazing Hell and placed the Fire Protection Formation here.
After Wan Shitong woke up, it was already getting dim. He was about to wake Lingfeng to continue their journey but found that Lingfeng was no longer beside him. He looked around but saw no trace of Lingfeng.
Now Wan Shitong began to feel anxious; he knew that Lingfeng was playful and might have wandered out of this Basin into some tribe.
Thinking of this, Wan Shitong couldn't help but take a deep breath because the people here lived primitive lives. If the elder was not present, everything would be decided by the tribe's leader. Moreover, they were very hostile towards outsiders; if they caught one, they could very well execute them.
Wan Shitong dared not think further and did not want to waste any time. He hurriedly organized his gear and jumped out of the Basin, flying towards the Red Forest.
The sky was already darkening, and the atmosphere in the Red Forest became even more eerie. Of course, Wan Shitong could easily sense the unusual aura in this forest because any formation requires leveraging the power of the terrain. Once the terrain is altered, it can change the normal magnetic field aura. While ordinary cultivators might not perceive such subtle changes, Wan Shitong could sense them quite easily.
"It seems that Elder Yang's formation has not been lifted!" Wan Shitong said as he reached the edge of the Red Forest.
At that moment, a group of people emerged from another side of the Red Forest, carrying torches as they headed towards the Basin.
"Everyone search carefully; the elder is inside the Basin!" one person shouted loudly.
"Could it be that Elder Yang is here?" Wan Shitong murmured to himself, thinking these people might be looking for him. He felt a surge of joy and then leaped above them, asking in a mysterious tone, "Who are you?"
The group exchanged glances but could not find any source of life.
Wan Shitong covered his mouth and chuckled softly before lowering his voice again, "Who are you?"
They finally heard clearly and looked up into the air, where they saw an elderly man in his fifties standing amidst swirling mist, appearing almost divine.
The leading man was taken aback and stared at the knowledgeable one, quickly asking, "Are you a god, a human, or a ghost?"
The knowledgeable one laughed heartily and replied, "If you and I are gods, then I am a god. If you and I are ghosts, then I am a ghost. If you and I are humans, then I am a human!"
The man was confused by this response and had no choice but to ask again, "Where do you come from, and why have you come to Forked God Yangzhou?"
The knowledgeable one stroked his sparse beard and countered with a question, "Are you here to find someone?"
The man paused for a moment and thought before saying, "We came here based on Elder Yang's instructions to find an outsider!"
"Outsider?" Upon hearing this, the knowledgeable one revealed his true nature. He jumped down to the ground and pointed at the man's nose, exclaiming, "We are all people of the Cultivation Realm; how can you call me an outsider?"
"This... this..." The man did not expect such a quick change from him. He stammered for a moment but couldn't find the right words.
The knowledgeable one glared at him disapprovingly, then put his hands behind his back and muttered, "Hurry up and lead the way; otherwise, if my journey is delayed, I'll roast you all and eat you!"
Seeing that the knowledgeable one was powerful, the man naturally did not dare to offend him. Hearing that he might be roasted and eaten only made him tremble with fear. Moreover, in their world, eating people was not considered a big deal; it was merely a matter of being the eater or the eaten.
"I ask you, did a boy enter the formation today?" The knowledgeable one walked ahead while continuing to inquire.
"Yes!" The man was eager to curry favor with the knowledgeable one to save his own life. Upon hearing the question, he rushed forward to answer.
The knowledgeable one nodded and asked again, "Do you know where he is now?"
Without thinking twice, the man quickly replied, "In the Elder's cave!"
The All-Knowing Man followed the Great Han to Elder Yang's cave. Upon seeing the elder, he noticed a look of urgency on his face, as if he was facing some insurmountable problem.
Elder Yang sent the Great Han and others away before leading the All-Knowing Man into the stone cave behind the Sun God Statue.
"I never expected that after all these years, you are still living in this shabby cave!" Upon entering the cave, the All-Knowing Man didn't ask what trouble Elder Yang was in; instead, he teased him a bit.
Elder Yang had no time for jokes. He pointed to the painting of the sun and said, "The Five Element Brothers are in Blazing Hell!"
"What?" The All-Knowing Man's expression changed drastically. After a moment, he regained his composure and questioned with some hostility, "Did you send him to Blazing Hell?"
"No," Elder Yang shook his head and then took out the Fallen Stone Tablet. "This is the will of the Sun God!"
The All-Knowing Man looked at the tablet in confusion but saw nothing special on it, nor any indication of a will. He said, "Don't try to fool me with that. You'd better release my brother now; otherwise, I won't be polite with you!"
The All-Knowing Man was an impatient person. Seeing Lingfeng in trouble, he forgot to clarify the situation and was solely focused on rescuing Lingfeng.
Elder Yang's expression also changed slightly. He had no friendship with the All-Knowing Man and was part of an opposing force. Although the All-Knowing Man had retired, it did not change Elder Yang's disdain for Demon Cultivators. Thus, the All-Knowing Man's attitude had already angered Elder Yang.
"I don't need to explain myself to you, but I will tell you this: The Five Elements are currently trying to obtain the Fire Protection Formation; they need guidance from the formation. However, my power is insufficient now. If you help activate the formation, there may be a glimmer of hope for them. If you refuse to help, then everything will depend on fate!" Elder Yang snorted coldly and turned his back to the All-Knowing Man.
"But how can I trust you?" The All-Knowing Man still felt some distrust towards Elder Yang. In his view, no matter how urgent things were, he should have been consulted first before any plans were made. However, he did not know what had transpired at that time and thus could not easily trust Elder Yang.
Elder Yang looked at the All-Knowing Man seriously and spoke in an unusually calm tone, "By my faith in the Sun God, by my loyalty to the Sun God!"
Their respect for the Sun God surpassed everything else, even their own lives. Normally, they would not swear by the Sun God; once they did so, it meant their words were genuinely heartfelt.
In the entire Cultivation Realm, under normal circumstances, no one would dare joke about the Sun God in front of someone from Divine Fork Yang State. For example, when Lingfeng was referred to as a brother of the Sun God earlier, it had already provoked anger among those present. Fortunately, Elder Yang was there; otherwise, Lingfeng would have met a dire fate.
Although Wan Shitong is known for his carefree and playful nature, he is nonetheless a top figure in the Cultivation Realm and the foremost diviner. Therefore, he is well aware of the circumstances and customs of every state in the Cultivation Realm. Faced with Elder Yang's sincerity, he had no reason to doubt him.
"How can we activate the formation?" Wan Shitong stopped arguing with Elder Yang and looked at the massive Sun Diagram, asking.
"I will arrange the artifacts according to the directions of the Five Elements Bagua, while you need to provide me with Spiritual Energy and physical strength. Once my physical strength is sufficient, I will be able to harness the power granted to me by the Sun God again, allowing me to control the Three Flavors True Fire and transmit your Spiritual Energy to Lingfeng, helping Lingfeng find the Fire Protection Formation!" Elder Yang said seriously.
Then, Elder Yang took out twelve black iron statues, which were actually the Twelve Zodiac Signs. He placed the statues around the Sun Diagram in a circle and used some artifacts that could gather Spiritual Energy, arranging them according to the directions of the Five Elements Bagua.
"Now, give me your Spiritual Energy!" Elder Yang sat in the center of the Sun Diagram, his hands forming a mudra as he nervously closed his eyes.
Wan Shitong did not dare to delay. As soon as Elder Yang finished speaking, Wan Shitong extended his palm from a distance, and a stream of purple Spiritual Energy was transmitted from his hand.
Of course, Wan Shitong is a Demon Cultivator while Elder Yang is a cultivator. Some may wonder why Wan Shitong can still transmit Spiritual Energy to Elder Yang, who is a cultivator.
What I want to explain is that both the Spiritual Energy of cultivators and that of Demon Cultivators contain a certain amount of energy. What Elder Yang truly needs is that energy itself, not the Spiritual Energy per se.
Once the formation is activated, Elder Yang will use the power of the Sun God to initiate it and then transmit Wan Shitong's Spiritual Energy to Lingfeng through the Three Flavors True Fire.
At this moment, Lingfeng had already escaped from the pursuit of Fire Mouse and was sitting at a mountain corner, unsure of where to go next.
Having rarely encountered difficulties, Lingfeng now understood what it meant to be at an impasse. It wasn't that there were no paths ahead; rather, there were too many paths, and he simply didn't know which way to go.
