Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed upon seeing this; he didn't want to waste time with a dragon.

Then he tossed the dragon lantern into the air.

He made a series of hand gestures with his right hand.

A moment later, the lamp moved at will.

The dragon lantern rotates in mid-air.

The true fire from the earth's core flickered within the lamp for a few moments.

Suddenly, the firelight blazed brightly.

Gong Wujue, standing to the side, could clearly sense that a vast and scorching spiritual energy seemed to be gathering strength within the lamp, ready to be unleashed.

Is this... the Earth's core fire?

The lamp contains the true fire from the Earth's core.

As far as he knew, there was only one.

It is called Panlong Lantern.

Gong Wujue's gaze shifted from the lamp to the person, scrutinizing his "savior" with a critical look.

Possessing such an extraordinary magical artifact and having such composure in the face of danger, who exactly is this fellow Daoist?

Before Gong Wujue could think any further, the dragon-shaped lamp shone brightly, and an intensely blazing fire from the earth's core poured out like a waterfall.

Then, it instantly spread out in mid-air, transforming into a crimson-gold wall of fire that stretched across the sky and reached a height of tens of feet.

A ghostly blue halo flowed within the wall of fire, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature that could incinerate everything.

The black dragon's attack was thus blocked.

Gong Wujue was about to step forward to express his gratitude when he was suddenly pulled onto a sword by the other party.

Lin Yuan stood on his sword and put the dragon lantern in mid-air into his storage bag. Then he glanced at Gong Wuchen, who was fighting the black dragon on the other side of the wall of fire.

He chuckled inwardly: Gong Wuchen, you can deal with this black dragon.

"What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?" As Gong Wujue saw that he was getting further and further away from his brother, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on his sword.

Lin Yuan chuckled lightly: "Don't be nervous, I just wanted to find a place to talk to you about something."

Not long after, the flying sword stopped in a deserted dense forest.

After Gong Wujue disembarked from the flying sword with Lin Yuan, he first bowed to Lin Yuan.

Then, he said awkwardly, "Although I don't know why you saved me, thank you..."

Lin Yuan looked at Gong Wujue and said very bluntly, "Because of the Rejuvenating Pearl."

"The Rejuvenation Pearl?" As he spoke, Gong Wujue's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Lin Yuan with a new layer of wariness.

Then, as if realizing something, he laughed and said, "I see."

"Rest assured, I am Gong Wujue of the Gong Clan of Immortals."

"As you wish, Fellow Daoist, once I return to the Immortal Clan, I will send all my clan disciples to search for you with all their might."

Lin Yuan remained silent upon hearing this.

With a single teleport, he appeared before Gong Wujue and effortlessly snatched the talisman that Gong Wujue had intentionally summoned from his hand.

He then lowered his eyes, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Gong Wujue's right hand.

"Fellow Daoist Wujue's hands healed quite quickly." Lin Yuan looked at Gong Wujue in front of him with a half-smile, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Not long ago, the flesh and bones were separated, leaving a bloody mess.

Now... there's not even a drop of blood to be seen; it's completely healed.

Lin Yuan then thought of the bloodstain on Gong Wujue's body, which he had initially thought was due to the effects of the elixir that had restored the other's body.

But judging from the current situation, it's probably because of the Rejuvenating Pearl.

Upon hearing this, Gong Wujue immediately understood Lin Yuan's meaning.

"Since you know that the Rejuvenation Pearl is on me, you should also know how foolish it would be for you to take something you shouldn't from me," Gong Wujue said arrogantly.

Lin Yuan smiled upon hearing this.

He hadn't done anything, yet he inexplicably made Gong Wujue panic.

Could this guy have the ability to oppose the Gong Clan Immortal Clan?

"Fine, I originally intended to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Wujue." Lin Yuan said casually, even turning around as he spoke, "In exchange for repairing your spiritual root, you would give me the Rejuvenation Pearl."

"Now it seems, it was me..."

Before Lin Yuan could take a single step, Gong Wujue's urgent voice reached his ears: "Wait."
