Half an hour later, the six of them finally made it through the obstruction of countless Flame Black Crows in the gorge and reached the end of this section of the gorge.

After a fierce battle, the six looked completely different.

The most disheveled were the petite Female Martial Artist "Chen Bi" and the white-clad young man "He Ye."

Both were in tattered clothes, revealing the armor they wore underneath. He Ye even suffered minor injuries under the siege of numerous Flame Black Crows, and a clump of his hair had been singed.

After finally reaching safety, the two quickly took out replacement garments from their spatial treasures to change into, and He Ye also sat cross-legged, starting to cultivate to heal his wounds.

Although Dongfang Xuanyi and Wang Chen were not as disheveled, their faces and bodies were also stained with a lot of fresh blood and black ash marks, far from their previously clean and carefree appearance.

The one who fared slightly better was Ruan Yuan.

It was no wonder that this woman carried herself so arrogantly – she certainly had some skills. As she fought her way through the gorge, she killed many more Flame Black Crows than the others, yet she was unscathed, with only a slight disarray in her breathing. She was the second to arrive safely.

Of course, stronger than Ruan Yuan, and the first one to reach safety, was Ye Chen.

Ye Chen not only had no sign of having been in a battle on him, but his breath was also incredibly steady. Obviously, these ordinary True God level Flame Black Crows, no matter how numerous, did not trouble Ye Chen in the slightest.

This comparison made it clear who was superior.

At this point, the way Chen Bi and He Ye looked at Ye Chen had completely changed.

Whether it was facing the terrifying Fire Bugs earlier or dealing with the tens of thousands of Flame Black Crows later, Ye Chen's performance had shown them how frighteningly powerful he really was.

Chen Bi and He Ye even felt some regret that they hadn't chosen the same mission as Ye Chen; they both wanted to join Ye Chen in the task of collecting the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds, feeling that with him, their safety would be greatly enhanced!

Seeing the admiring looks Chen Bi and He Ye were giving Ye Chen, along with Dongfang Xuanyi's and Wang Chen's expressions acknowledging Ye Chen's strength, Ruan Yuan was exceptionally annoyed.

She was originally the strongest member of the team, but now she hadn't gotten any attention at all. All of it was focused on Ye Chen!

Of course, even though she was extremely annoyed, Ruan Yuan no longer dared to mock Ye Chen, and she retracted some of her haughtiness.

She had already recognized Ye Chen's incredible abilities and wouldn't provoke him again.

The events that laid ahead were unpredictable, and if they encountered anything as strange as the Fire Bugs again, she would need to rely on the miraculous Ye Chen!

"Alright, let's rest and recuperate here," said Dongfang Xuanyi, smiling for once as he saw that all six had successfully fought their way out of the Flame Black Crow Gorge.

"Up ahead is the territory of the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python'—the 'Flame Lotus Pond' area. Other demons don't dare to step into the Red-Crowned Fire Python's realm; this is truly a place of safety."

"After we've rested up, we'll go and truly accomplish our mission, to get those Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds!"

Hearing Dongfang Xuanyi mention the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds, a gleam flashed in the eyes of the others.

They had come all this way, killing many demons, even losing one of their own, and now they were considerably harried, all for the "Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds!"

Thinking that they might soon acquire the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds, which were greatly beneficial for breaking through realms, how could they remain calm?

After taking a few deep breaths, their minds gradually calmed down.

An hour later, the six, who had finished their meditative recovery, finally stood up again.

Wang Chen said, "Let's first go take a look at the situation with the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python' and the 'Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds,' then follow our previous arrangement, splitting into two groups to lure the Red-Crowned Fire Python and collect the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds."

"Tang Xuan has fallen. Sister Ruan Yuan, Brother Chen Bi, Brother He Ye, the three of you are left to lure the Red-Crowned Fire Python. No problem, right?"

Ruan Yuan, Chen Bi, and He Ye looked at each other and nodded.

With only six people remaining and two different tasks, they each had to complete their respective missions!

Seeing them nod, Wang Chen smiled, flipped his hand, and a gossamer-like, thin, silky object appeared in his hand.

"This treasure is called the 'True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe.' Once activated, it can hide the wearer's form for the duration of a cup of tea. When it truly conceals the wearer, even an Upper God King without a counter-stealth ability can't detect the person's whereabouts."

"We'll use this treasure to first observe the movements of the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python' and then split up to act!"

True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe?

Ye Chen's gaze turned towards the gossamer-like, thin, silky object in Wang Chen's hand.

This object could mask one's figure, but it only lasted for the duration of a cup of tea, which was somewhat similar to the divine might of the "Tongming Mirror" he had obtained in the past. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

However, the Tongming Mirror was only an auxiliary class inferior divine artifact, effective only against weaker True Gods. In front of stronger True Gods, the concealment ability of the Tongming Mirror was completely useless, and now it had little use.

Compared with the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe," which even Upper God Kings could not detect, its function might be somewhat similar, but in terms of divine might, it was far inferior to the True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe.

While Ye Chen was examining the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe," the others were also sizing up this treasure, then everyone stood together as directed by Wang Chen.

At last, with a pinch of a spell in Wang Chen's hand, the silk-like treasure suddenly flew up, transforming into a spherical light dome with a radius of several zhang, completely enveloping the six of them.

"The True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe, once activated, only works for the duration of a cup of tea. We will need it to collect the 'Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds' later, so let's hurry up and check out the situation with the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python'!"

Wang Chen spoke out to Ye Chen and the other four, and, seeing them nod, he then propelled the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe," concealing all six figures as they flew towards the vast realm ahead of the gorge.

After flying for about ten breaths, the six of them saw a giant lake dozens of miles across in the distance.

The entire giant lake was a red hue as if the water within was made of red magma.

Clearly, the temperature of the lake water was frightfully high!

Even more wondrous was that within the red magma-like lake water, grew thousands of Fiery Red Lotus Leaves, and on several dozen of these leaves bloomed Flame Lotus Flowers, resembling red flames. Near the Flame Lotus Flowers, there were eight mature lotus pods, which slightly drooped under the weight of the hundreds of plump Fiery Red Lotus Seeds within them!

"This Fire Lake is the 'Flame Lotus Pond'! Those seeds within the eight lotus pods are the 'Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds' we aim to harvest!"

Upon seeing the hundreds of mature Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds, everyone inside the True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe had their breathing quicken with excitement.

Ye Chen's gaze then shifted from the "Flame Lotus Pond" to the outside.

He then directly saw a gigantic Fire Python, thousands of zhang long, lying motionless on the ground outside the Flame Lotus Pond, unaware if it was in slumber or cultivating.

This gigantic Fire Python, with an unusual red comb-like crest on its head, was precisely the Demon guarding the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds, with a realm reaching the level of a Middle God King and a combat strength approaching that of an Upper God King—the Red-Crowned Fire Python!

"The Red-Crowned Fire Python is indeed here!"

At this moment, Dongfang Xuanyi and Wang Chen also turned their gaze towards the Red-Crowned Fire Python. "The situation with this Red-Crowned Fire Python is just as the God King elder described. It is indeed in a weakened state, which makes it easier to provoke."

"Fellow Daoists, we are pressed for time. Let us split up and act now!"

As he spoke, Wang Chen drove the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe" as he and several others flew far away from the Red-Crowned Fire Python, traveling about a few hundred li before finally landing.

Wang Chen then took out a white jade box containing the "Green Flame Grass," and handed it over to Ruan Yuan.

"From this distance, igniting the 'Green Flame Grass' will be sufficient to lure the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python.' Sister Ruan Yuan, Daoist friend Chen Bi, and Daoist friend He Ye, the task of using the three sticks of 'Green Flame Grass' to lure the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python' falls to you!"

"As previously agreed, you'll ignite the 'Green Flame Grass' ten breaths after we commence our dive into the 'Flame Lotus Pond.'

"If the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python' is truly attracted by the 'Green Flame Grass' and there is no other disturbance, the three of you must also conceal yourselves well and not be discovered by the 'Red-Crowned Fire Python.' If it senses something wrong with the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds and immediately returns, you three must hold it off for at least thirty breaths!"

"Now, let us split up and act!"

After discussing a few more details, Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen, covered by the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe," flew back towards the Flame Lotus Pond to harvest the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds.

In this realm, only Ruan Yuan, Chen Bi, and He Ye were left behind.

At this moment, both Chen Bi and He Ye had nervous hands that were somewhat sweaty.

Meanwhile, Ruan Yuan began counting down, "Ten, nine, eight..."

When she reached one, Ruan Yuan followed the spell taught to her by Wang Chen, moving her hands swiftly, and three one-foot-long sticks of "Green Flame Grass" flew out of the white jade box under her spell.

Something wondrous occurred.

As soon as these three sticks of "Green Flame Grass" flew out of the white jade box, they suddenly enlarged and transformed into towering grasses several zhang high, firmly planting themselves onto the ground.

Simultaneously, Ruan Yuan changed the spell in her hands, and in an instant, the three enlarged sticks of "Green Flame Grass," with their strange rings of fiery patterns, started to frantically flicker. After several breaths, the entire towering stalks of the three grasses burst into flames.

As they burned, the "Green Flame Grass" was not consumed at all, but an odd fishy smell wafted from the three giant stalks, spreading in all directions.

It reached a few li away, tens of lis away, hundreds of lis away...

In a moment, the strange fishy smell of the Green Flame Grass was about to envelop the area where the Red-Crowned Fire Python was located.
