Chapter 155 Fire Coverage
"Could the Dragon King have seen where they went?" Shen Suiren threw out two fireballs, intending to see them off to the end, when the Dragon King made a hand seal and grabbed the two souls that wanted to escape.

Ignoring their pleas, he quickly searched their souls before sending them away.

The two cultivators' storage items and magical treasures all ended up in the hands of Shen Suiren, who was watching coldly from the sidelines.

The world of cultivation is a place where you can die if you're not careful; your soul will be scattered.

Zitang Dragon King closed her eyes to rest for a moment. She realized that her divine sense could extend a thousand miles, but this space was not that big. "I have good news for you. The Vermilion Bird Cauldron you are looking for is right here."

"Really?!" Shen Suiren looked at the tracking bracelet on her wrist. Could it be that this not only tracks the mission takers, but also the Vermilion Bird Cauldron?

Even though her divine sense could travel a hundred miles away, she couldn't see the group of people from before, so she couldn't help but use the Shrinking Earth Technique to travel two or three miles forward, but it didn't have much effect.

Then Dragon King Ao Zitang said again, "There is also bad news: the Vermilion Bird Cauldron is now part of the forbidden formation."

Only by breaking all the restrictions can you take it back.

As they spoke, spiritual energy wrapped around Shen Suiren's hand, and he moved with incredible speed toward the forbidden area.

"Does the Dragon King know what kind of forbidden formation that is?" Shen Suiren strongly sensed the strange fire approaching him.

She needs to confirm with her own eyes that it is the Vermilion Bird Cauldron before she can bring her team members over to break the formation.

Meanwhile, at the seaside, Cheng Zhishun, who never wasted words when he could get information with spirit stones, actually bought the fishing cultivator's boat and acquired some secrets about this place called Fire Cloud Sea.

It turns out that this sea is devoid of spirits year-round, but the fish and shrimp there are extremely delicious and nourishing to the soul.

The exiled cultivators, risking being sucked away by the sea at any moment, still had to fish for food or exchange it for spirit stones and pills.

"These are some of the locations where strong suction often occurs."

"For the sake of the spirit stones and pills, let me remind you, anyone who was sucked in before has never survived." The fishermen drew a map, then quickly flew away with several buckets of live fish.

Juexing looked at the drawing they had made, then at their fleeing figures, and wondered, "They can't be lying, can they?"

"Release the Starfire, and if the beginning of the year is still here, we will surely find it." Nie Chengzhang's method was the simplest.

"Good idea, but I'm afraid that once we release it, we won't be able to catch it again." Cheng Zhishun had also considered that the purple strange fire they had locked in the cauldron was constantly thrashing against the lid.

Am I willing to spend money on spirit stones?
Cheng Zhishun's words were cut off by Yao Niaoniao's delighted "New Year's Day."

Then he rowed with all his might to the spot where she flew through the air and then fell back into the water, saying, "You should have appeared half a quarter of an hour earlier!"

"Get out of the way if you're not going to help." Niao Niao pushed him away and grabbed the long bamboo stick from Shen Sui Ren's hand.

He then smiled at Shen Suiren and said, "This Purple Gold Thunder Bamboo can be used to withstand thunder and row boats, and in the end, you can even use it as a life raft."

"It has made a great contribution. I saw the Vermilion Bird Cauldron. I need to find others to help break the restriction."

"And incidentally, take care of a dozen or so cultivators." Shen Suiren had just witnessed those cultivators adding things to the cauldron.

Adding more and more is easy, but it can be completely eliminated. Even if one person has eight hands, it is impossible to eliminate them all.

Seeing Juexing open the alchemy furnace, the strange fire flew back to its own sea of ​​consciousness, feeling wronged.

She couldn't help but smile wryly: "This little thing, it forgets about people as soon as it sees food."

"Come on, I'll take you down there. We need to spare two or three of those men."

"Uncle Luo said he'll be here soon." Yao Niaoniao's message was answered instantly.

Using the hand gestures taught by the Dragon King, Shen Suiren and her friends quickly found the forbidden area.

However, the Dragon King didn't need them to lift a finger; she took down more than a dozen cultivators on her own. Killing a Foundation Establishment cultivator was far too easy for her.

"They're all dead!" Cheng Zhishun exclaimed in surprise, not forgetting to snatch someone else's storage ring.

Nie Chengzhang held him down. "There are still five survivors. Look at these restrictions."

Before them, it seemed as if countless embers were burning, and above them was a large cauldron, obscured by demonic energy imbued with bloodlust.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still clearly see the vermilion bird carved on the body of the cauldron, which is lifelike, raising its proud head and breathing fire.

However, what it spewed out at this moment was not the white Nanming Fire, but the black and red demonic flames.

Juexing asked with regret, "What kind of formation?"

"The Great Five Elements Nine Palaces Yin-Yang Reversal Formation." Shen Suiren sighed. Such a precious treasure of heaven and earth was being used for crooked and evil purposes.

She had thought there was a dragon there, but she never expected that the Vermilion Bird Cauldron was the one being suppressed.

"Use your strange fire to suppress the demonic flames," the Dragon King said.

Shen Suiren raised his hand to stop him: "No, we must put out the charcoal in front of us first."

It requires five cultivators with water-elemental roots to simultaneously strike different points in the array with water-elemental power, and then use fire to break the fire restriction within the Five Elements.

"Of the five of us, only Sui Chu and I have water elemental roots," Niao Niao said, spreading her hands.

"I'll go meet Uncle Luo." Just as Shen Suiren was about to make a move, Nie Chengzhang took out the newly recognized Li Huo Sword. Before he could even check if the patterns on the cauldron were the same, it flew into the Vermilion Bird Cauldron.

With a sharp cry, the entire forbidden area shook instantly, and in the blink of an eye, all sorts of fiery rocks rushed towards them like meteors.

"Are you kidding me? Attacking our own people." Cheng Zhishun swiftly swept away the burning embers with his sword.

The others were also busy dodging.

Nie Chengzhang ordered the Li Huo Sword to return, but the sword only hummed and ignored him.

The Dragon King was also waving away the burning embers; she was using a Foundation Establishment stage body. "At the beginning of the year, the formation changed."

Before the words were even finished, the forbidden formation had already turned into a black water formation, and black smoke would rise as soon as people's clothes were splashed on it.

"Not the Nine Palaces Reversal Formation?" Shen Suiren glanced at the Li Huo Sword again. Was it reminding him?
"Any formation will do, find the core of the formation and break it!" Cheng Zhishun kept reinforcing his protective aura as it retreated, but the black water kept chasing after them, and the protective shield cracked as soon as it splashed water.

Shen Suiren's mind raced. Seeing Nie Chengzhang retreating while building the earthen wall for everyone, a sudden inspiration struck him:
“Nie Chengzhang, Cheng Zhishun, take the Vermilion Bird Cauldron as the Kan position, and together with me, use mounds of earth to smash towards the Gen, Dui, and Kun positions.”

“I choose the Gen position.” Cheng Zhishun didn’t want to fly to the other two positions that were far away from him.

"We'll help support the flying swords." Yao Niaoniao and Juexing released several flying swords in unison to form a bridge, allowing their companion to step on them and quickly reach their destination.

Believe it or not, all three of them had earth elemental roots. After accurately turning their earth elemental power into soil and smashing it down, the black water disappeared instantly, leaving only residue on the ground.

The Dragon King had excellent eyesight and recognized the slag on the ground. "Demon bones, a bunch of bastards, deliberately trying to refine the Vermilion Bird Cauldron into a demonic weapon."

And it was done by a bunch of Taoist disciples, how laughable.

This strengthened her resolve to do something.

Shen Suiren and the others didn't have time to investigate further. Seeing that breaking the formation was effective, she immediately directed everyone to fly to different locations and break the formation once they found the key point.

Don't underestimate this small restriction; its constantly changing patterns kept the group very busy.

Finally, before the spiritual energy was exhausted, all the restrictions binding the cauldron were broken, and the Fire Sword flew back into Nie Chengzhang's hand on its own.

Cheng Zhishun remarked, "It's become sentient."

A bump immediately appeared on his forehead from the sword light.

"Serves him right!" Juexing showed him no sympathy whatsoever.

Seeing them relax and play around, the Dragon King pursed his lips and said, "Why do you want to stop breaking?"

"The things that were added to the body of the cauldron had to be removed by more than a dozen people working together."

"After we set up an ambush at the entrance, I'll go meet everyone." Shen Suiren also wanted to hurry; if the barrier was only half broken, the people guarding the entrance to the secret realm would definitely notice.

If they send more men and offer benefits to all cultivators in the region to attack, they'll have nowhere to escape. "Let's go together," the four of them said in unison. None of them wanted to be alone with the Purple Lotus Dragon King.

Cheng Zhishun, in particular, didn't want to be possessed by the Dragon King, so he ran exceptionally fast.

Fortunately, all five of them came out to help. They flew less than a thousand miles, during which time they were robbed eight times.

The group, who had collected a bunch of flat storage bags, didn't even want to lift a finger when they saw the roadblock again.

The little fox king watched as Shen Suiren stuffed thick talismans into the palms of his friends, and the five of them grabbed the talismans with both hands and sat on the bird feathers.

If anyone dared to approach, they would simultaneously unleash a half-foot-thick talisman with their left hand and reveal a thunderbolt with their right.

Who can stand this!
Most of the demonic cultivators who wanted to rob him were exiled here. They lacked everything but were not stupid enough to do so. No one dared to go for it, except for a few who would secretly follow him.

Then, they witnessed firsthand what it meant to be covered by fire.

Shen Suiren and the others saw from afar that Luo Ning and ten others were being attacked by dozens of cultivators, who were moving with lightning speed and using fire talismans like cannons.

Without saying a word, they rushed forward and started smashing talismans. In an instant, the attackers were wiped out like clay chickens and earthen dogs.

Those who didn't die completely would be kicked into the sparks that the fire talisman had ignited and expanded by Shen Suiren and the others.

Those who followed wished they had two more legs so they could run faster than a leopard.

From then on, in this place called the Fire Realm, also known as the Fire Cloud Continent, a legend spread that one could travel the world with a talisman.

At this moment, Cheng Zhishun, one of the legendary figures, couldn't help but mock Yun Chuan, who had many wounds on his body, "Hehe, Fellow Daoist Yun Chuan, do you need help healing your wounds?"

"Don't cause trouble." His cheap martial uncle, Luo Ning, patted him on the shoulder, separating him from Yun Chuan.

Shen Suiren brushed bird feathers onto a pile of storage bags and led all the team members away, saying, "Let's clean up along the way."

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the seaside, there were more than a hundred cultivators waiting there, including seventeen or eighteen of them who were in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

She had just shouted, "Prepare for battle!"

Then a cultivator with a goatee, who had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, stepped out from the crowd and bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. We are also Daoist cultivators."

Having heard that fellow Daoists have ruthlessly annihilated the tribulation cultivators, I have come to surrender.

Since being exiled to this place, whenever people manage to gather spiritual herbs or plant some spiritual plants, they are all robbed by gangs of people, leaving them with no choice but to team up to protect themselves.

"We have all suffered through countless tribulations; we urge our fellow cultivators to rise up and lead us in annihilating these tribulating cultivators within our borders."

"..." The team members looked at each other, wondering if it was just a case of demonic cultivation without demonic energy, or simply Dao cultivation.

Of course, it's not surprising that there were Taoist cultivators among them; exile doesn't distinguish between Taoist and demonic cultivators.

Juexing touched his bald head. "At the beginning of the year, does it mean we should become kings of the mountains?"

Shen Suiren shook his head and pushed Cheng Zhishun forward to respond.

The latter glanced at her sideways and said condescendingly, "We don't have time to get entangled with the tribulation cultivators."

Once you're inside, you won't notice that the only reason this place is barren is the sudden appearance of a few volcanoes compared to tens of thousands of years ago.

The man with the goatee nodded: "I've heard of that, but all we can do is adapt?"

Cheng Zhishun said, "Cultivators defy the heavens and seize life; what they cultivate is an indomitable spirit."

We've discovered that a formation has been set up underwater, and we're trying to break it. Hopefully, this hellish place won't be a fiery maw that eats people up all the time.

Someone on the other side asked in confusion, "Break the formation? Without the fissures in the sky, wouldn't the cultivators be even more arrogant?"

Shen Suiren stepped forward and said, "After the formation is broken, the volcano may stop erupting, and the vitality of this place will slowly recover."

Aside from cultivators with fire spiritual roots, no one wants to live in a place with abundant fire spiritual energy every day, right?
Everyone is welcome to come down and take a look with us.

She didn't believe in any leader who could destroy the demonic cultivators. There were hardly any innocent good people who could be exiled here as demonic cultivators.

It's just a matter of politeness first, then force; she just wants to go treasure hunting with me, and she'll do that too.

Look, as soon as she invited him, the man with the goatee immediately communicated with the people behind him, and in no time they produced a number of people equal to their own.

"Since you fellow cultivators have so kindly invited us, shall we break the formation together?"

"At the beginning of the year, are you really bringing them?" Yun Chuan couldn't help but ask telepathically.

Shen Suiren nodded: "Everyone going down there will have to work."

She did not speak recklessly. As soon as these fifteen people entered the forbidden area, she led them into the pre-set magic array.

"What do you mean, fellow Daoist?" The fifteen cultivators were terrified when they saw them disappear and their magical power was suddenly sealed.

Shen Suiren immediately transmitted a command to his team members. While the fifteen cultivators were looking around, he made a hand seal and struck the array plate. After two buzzing sounds, the fifteen people were separated into one another.

He was instantly subdued by the suddenly appearing squad members and forced to swallow a bitter pill.

Once they were moved together, their spiritual energy returned, and they tried to resist, "You..."

Juexing finally had a chance to show off his skills. "Everyone, check if there's a red thread worm in your dantian. If you attack us, it will bite your spiritual root."

When the goatee and the others looked into their dantian, they were horrified—it was a Gu poison!
"Ah, it hurts, the antidote!" A cultivator threw a water ball at Juexing and immediately vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Nie Chengzhang dragged the man away, followed by another scream and then silence.

The man with the goatee's throat bobbed; he truly hadn't expected this group to be so difficult to deal with.

"If you do your job honestly, there will be an antidote."

"If you don't obey, you'll be reborn as a mortal, or reincarnated." Juexing waved his hand, and Shen Suiren opened the array gate.

He added, "Once we break the formation together, the antidote will arrive immediately."

Circumstances dictate that people must obey, so the goatee and his men had no choice but to comply.

The Dragon King was quite pleased that Shen Suiren had brought back some helpers, and even more pleased that they had spared no effort in clearing the restrictions on the Vermilion Bird Cauldron.

After two full hours, the restriction finally cracked open.

The Dragon King slammed his fist down, and the cauldron broke free and flew away with a whoosh, causing the forbidden area to explode with a loud bang.

"Chase!" As she sped away, Shen Suiren and her teammates grabbed five unconscious cultivators from the corner and quickly left.

Goatbeck discovered that the person he thought had been killed was actually alive and had been taken away by the escape light.

He didn't have time to think, he just followed everyone else and fled for their lives.

But as soon as they ran out of the collapsed forbidden area, they were swept into the sky by the surging seawater.

"The water is so hot!"

"Fellow Daoist, please save me!"

These people weren't as fast as Shen Suiren's bird feathers, and could only watch as she flew away with her own people.

Cheng Zhishun patted the water droplets off his clothes: "Where are you chasing after them?"

"The volcano must be in the direction of the volcano." Nie Chengzhang's sword was pointing to a certain location.

Shen Suiren said quickly, "I hope we can put the cauldron away before they send anyone outside."

Unbeknownst to her, the Mahayana cultivators at the entrance to the secret realm were furious and were preparing to force open the passage to allow the backup teams of disciples to enter.
