As Xiao Yan was silently calculating how to deal with Old Mu Gu, the latter let out a wicked smile.
The way he looked at Xiao Yan was no different from how one would look at a dead man.
"For this plan, our Hall of Souls has gathered so many powerful experts. I'd like to see how you plan to escape from the pursuit of so many Dou Zun experts in this Star Region where you have no help!"
Old Mu Gu sneered inwardly, his gaze locked firmly on the storage ring in Xiao Yan's hand. For that Flame Mantra, he was determined to obtain it this time!
However, after glancing over the others, Mu Gu secretly thought to himself, "Such a powerful soul body... once Ninth Tian Zun arrives, he'll surely be delighted. When that happens, I'll use the opportunity to speak to him about the Heavenly Flames. Heh, it seems the heavens themselves are aiding me this time."
As for whether Lin Feng and the others would obediently surrender, he didn't even bother to consider it.
In his eyes, only two people posed any threat — the Grand Elder Qiu Ling and that white-clothed woman. Aside from them, everyone else was weak and worthless. How could the Hall of Souls possibly lose?
While the two groups were busy scheming against each other, Lin Feng and the other eight people were filled with curiosity toward this so-called Star Region. After all, this was a place none of them truly understood.
Now that they had entered, it was only natural to first examine their surroundings carefully.
However, with their powerful soul perception, they could faintly perceive that far off in the distance, there were faint glimmers of light — light that seemed to be drawn in by some mysterious force, seeping in from the outer world.
The faint glow made the light here appear somewhat cold and dim.
Upon seeing those lights, Xiao Yixian gently raised her jade-like hand and casually grasped one of the faint glimmers. She immediately noticed that within those rays of light was a trace of chilling energy.
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said softly, as if realizing something, "No wonder this place is called the Star Region. The light within this space is drawn directly from the stars of the universe."
"These powers of the stars — they're the doing of the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Don't be fooled by how harmless it seems. It can quietly erode and destroy the structure of this Star Region.
However, daytime is when the star power is at its weakest, so we could only choose to enter now to attempt to subdue that beast."
Upon hearing her words, the Grand Elder Qiu Ling — perhaps because she was also Xiao Yan's enemy — smiled and explained in a rather friendly tone.
Hearing this, everyone except Lin Feng and Xiao Yan revealed a look of realization. The Three Thousand Burning Flames were also known as the Flame of the Stars. It was born from condensed stellar energy and survived by devouring that very same power.
As long as there was enough star energy, it could live eternally. In this world, the power of the stars almost never completely disappeared. Even now, during the day, there still existed abundant star power here — merely weaker in comparison.
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions grew increasingly solemn.
As for Lin Feng, he ignored the conversation, his eyes narrowing slightly as his mind pondered something else. That was — whether he could take advantage of Xiao Yan "killing" Song Qing to win over the Grand Elder Qiu Ling to his side.
"Follow me and don't get separated. This Star Region exists within spatial rifts, and some of those rifts lead directly to the void. If you accidentally fall into one, even without me saying it, you all should understand the consequences."
As Lin Feng was lost in thought, Qiu Ling suddenly waved her hand, her figure flashing forward rapidly.
Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately dismissed his thoughts. Under Cao Ying's astonished gaze, he reached out, grabbing her and Dan Chen by their hands, and followed closely after Qiu Ling. The others naturally followed right behind.
"What are you doing? Everyone's watching! Let go of me!"
Feeling the curious stares of the people around them, Cao Ying blushed slightly, shooting Lin Feng a coquettish glare as she complained in a soft but flustered voice.
Though she was known as the Enchantress, that reputation mainly referred to her unparalleled talent in alchemy, not her temperament.
As for flying hand in hand with another man in front of so many people, this was truly the first time for Cao Ying. So, feeling a bit embarrassed, she subconsciously tried to pull her hand free from Lin Feng's grasp.
"Don't refuse. I'm just doing this for your safety. What if you accidentally fall into a spatial rift? Look at Dan Chen—so obedient and quiet. You should learn from her."
Lin Feng rejected her resistance with a look of "righteous seriousness," continuing to hold her soft, fair hand as they flew forward together.
"Ugh, shameless."
Hearing his ridiculous excuse, Cao Ying couldn't help but grumble in her heart. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Dan Chen's blushing face and shyly lowered head, and could only shake her head helplessly.
Dan Chen… truly hopeless.
The size of the Star Region, while far smaller than the Pill Realm, was still vast by any normal comparison. Even though Qiu Ling had deliberately slowed her flight speed, the group had been flying for nearly ten minutes and still hadn't seen any sign of the boundary.
Though they had been traveling for quite a while, the Three Thousand Burning Flames still hadn't shown itself. However, everyone could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature was climbing sharply.
By this point, the two lowest-ranked among them—both peak seventh-grade alchemists—had been forced to summon their Dou Qi to form protective barriers just to resist the searing heat.
As for Lin Feng, Xiao Yixian, and Xiao Yan, they didn't have to worry about the temperature at all, since each of them possessed a Heavenly Flame and naturally had higher fire resistance.
Cao Ying and Dan Chen, however, had relatively weaker Dou Qi cultivation compared to the others. Fortunately, Lin Feng used his Green Lotus Core Flame to create individual Heavenly Flame barriers for the two of them, completely shielding them from the heat.
Because of that, they looked calm and comfortable, unaffected by the harsh environment. The group continued flying through the empty expanse of the void, heads down against the rising temperature.
Nearly ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it was because they were getting close to the Three Thousand Burning Flames, but now, even Lin Feng and the Grand Elder Qiu Ling had serious expressions etched on their faces.
The heat here had become so intense that even they dared not underestimate it.
"We're almost there!"
While flying, Lin Feng—whose soul strength had already reached the Late Spirit Realm and who possessed multiple Heavenly Flames—suddenly felt a powerful ripple in his heart. His gaze shot toward the distant front.
The Heavenly Flames within his body were suddenly surging and boiling with violent intensity. Such an extreme reaction—it was the first time he had ever experienced anything like it since acquiring his Heavenly Flames.
In this Star Region, the only thing that could provoke such a reaction from his flames could only be the Three Thousand Burning Flames.
There was simply nothing else that could do this.
As they drew closer, Xiao Yan's expression lit up as well. He licked his lips, his eyes brimming with burning anticipation and desire.
Although the others couldn't sense it the same way, they could still feel the temperature spiking rapidly all around them. They didn't need anyone to say it—they all knew what that meant. Their destination was right ahead.
