Lin Hongyi flicked the blade with her fingers, and a faint dragon’s roar echoed in the small courtyard.

"No matter how good a weapon is, it only holds value in the hands of someone who can wield it. I’m not fit to practice the saber technique; this saber is of no use to me anymore. Keeping it here is just a waste."

Lin Hongyi raised her head, her bright eyes looking at Luo Feng, "Since you can recognize this saber as the Deathless King’s ancestral weapon at a glance, it proves you have a connection with it. It should be able to assist you in the future."

Luo Feng smiled bitterly in his heart; he could recognize it as the Deathless King’s saber only because his soul power was strong.

However, he was indeed interested in this Sealing King saber, so he did not refuse any more, took the precious saber, and said, "Thank you."

Buzz!

As the saber fell into his hand, a chilling murderous intent rushed into Luo Feng’s mind, wanting to destroy his spirit.

Luo Feng immediately exerted all his strength to operate the Grand Momentum, only then suppressing this shocking murderous intent.

"What a terrifying saber..."

With a light breath, cold sweat had appeared on Luo Feng’s forehead.

This is just half of the broken saber. If it were the complete Thunder Dragon Saber, who knows how terrifying it would be?

Uncle Qiu said, "Luo Feng, it’s best for you not to expose this saber to others for now, lest you attract trouble. Once your cultivation reaches the Yuan Sea Realm and Grand Momentum is complete, you can go to Blackwater Lake to search and see if you can find other parts of this saber. Back then, I found this broken saber at Blackwater Lake, but I couldn’t comprehend the Grand Momentum, so I couldn’t venture deep into the lake."

Complete Grand Momentum, Yuan Sea Realm!

Luo Feng was stunned, smiling bitterly in his heart; he was still a big step away from the True Yuan Realm, not knowing when he could step into the Yuan Sea Realm.

However, Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber is enough for him to use now, so there’s no rush.

"I understand."

Luo Feng nodded and put the Thunder Dragon Saber into the Washing Dragon Ring, saying to the two, "Then I’ll take my leave."

"I’ll see you off."

Lin Hongyi followed along.

After leaving the city gate, Luo Feng stopped and said to Lin Hongyi, "Alright, you can go back."

Lin Hongyi nodded, "The Red Flame Desert has mixed powers, and Demon Sect disciples often appear, so be careful and don’t act recklessly. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain to your cousin."

Luo Feng smiled, "That’s unlike Red-dusted Vajra’s words. Rest assured, so far, those who want to kill me are dead."

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongyi smiled.

"See you at the New Dragon Conference."

Luo Feng cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Watching Luo Feng disappear at the end of the road, Lin Hongyi turned and walked briskly into the city.

She wanted to quickly elevate the Grand Momentum to the Great Achievement Realm, to start practicing the martial arts and cultivation techniques left by the ancient Deathless King...

...

After leaving Black Iron City, Luo Feng headed northwest, covering several thousand miles in one day.

At night, a waning moon hung high, surrounded by scattered stars.

In a stone forest, the campfire flickered gently with the night wind.

Luo Feng sat cross-legged by the campfire, eight dragon-shaped phantoms faintly visible swirling around him, practicing the Divine Dragon Nine Changes.

It was unknown how long had passed, when Luo Feng opened his eyes, the night around him was instantly split by an invisible force.

"The quality and quantity of Yuan Qi have risen to a new level. In a few days, I should reach the late stage of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm."

Feeling the change of Yuan Qi within, joy flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.

Affected by the breakthrough of the Grand Momentum, his recent cultivation was smooth, and every time Yuan Qi operated a Grand Circulation, he could clearly feel the elevation of realm.

Standing up, Luo Feng flicked his fingers.

Swoosh!

The sound of breaking wind arose, a spiral Qi Force shot out, instantly piercing through several stone pillars. A demon beast hidden among rocks hundreds of meters away, before it could react, its body was shot into the air by Qi Force, exploding into a shower of blood and flesh.

This horrifying scene frightened and panicked nearby demon beasts, who ran away for their lives in all directions.

Luo Feng clapped his hands, not chasing after them; these were just low-level demon beasts, posing no threat to him.

Raising his head to admire the moonlight, Luo Feng murmured:

"I should be able to leave the Canglang Dynasty tomorrow and enter the Red Flame Desert. There’s only the last city, Red Mysterious City, where I must buy a map of the Red Flame Desert."

Besides the Canglang Dynasty, the Red Flame Desert also borders several major dynasties like the Dali Dynasty. To the west is the Demon Realm, with an underground abyss that holds countless underground demons, an unimaginable danger.

Though greatly increased in strength, Luo Feng dared not rampage through the Red Flame Desert. Having a map would make it much safer.

An expert of the Spiritual Rotation Realm might count as a notable figure within the Canglang Dynasty but is insignificant in the vast territory of a hundred nations.

"By the way, I haven’t checked Tu Shan’s storage ring yet."

With a thought, Luo Feng immediately took out Tu Shan’s storage ring, letting his soul power penetrate inside.

Although Tu Shan’s strength is evenly matched with the Evil Saber, his wealth is far less than the Evil Saber’s.

Inside the storage ring, there’s only over a million second-grade Yuan Stones worth of wealth, along with worthless miscellaneous items carelessly discarded in the storage space. The most speechless thing to Luo Feng was a pile of women’s undergarments inside, displayed neatly and regularly, evidently often admired by someone.

"To think that the Blood Hand Tu Shan, famous in the martial world, would have such a hobby."

Sighing inwardly, Luo Feng continued to inspect other items, noticing a Spirit Mirror beside a brand-new map.

"This is the Canglang Dynasty’s royal Water Cloud Spirit Pattern..."

Noticing the Water Cloud Mark on the Spirit Mirror, Luo Feng’s mind stirred, and he took out the Spirit Mirror and map from the storage ring.

Taking a closer look at the Spirit Mirror’s Water Cloud Mark, it’s definitely a royal-exclusive Water Cloud Spirit Mirror.

"This Spirit Mirror was probably given to Tu Shan by the Crown Prince, but I don’t know what the content inside is..."

With a contemplative sound, Luo Feng shook his head. To view the Spirit Mirror’s content, one needs Tu Shan himself to open it with Yuan Qi, but now Tu Shan is dead.

Putting down the Spirit Mirror, Luo Feng spread out the map.

The leather map depicted a mountain landscape constructed with Yuan Qi, each mountain resembling a lurking dragon, stretching to the world’s end, with rocks glaringly red, like fire dragons lying on the ground; the aura mysterious and eerie.

A red dot was marked on the most majestic mountain, very conspicuous.

"This should be the Red Dragon Mountain Range, and this mountain is marked with a red dot. I don’t know what it signifies..."

Luo Feng’s eyes showed contemplation. The miscellaneous items in the storage ring were randomly discarded by Tu Shan, but the Spirit Mirror and map were carefully kept in a corner, indicating Tu Shan valued these two items highly.

"It’s a pity I don’t know the content of the Spirit Mirror..."

With a light breath, Luo Feng looked at the map marked with a red dot, thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision:

"The Red Dragon Mountain Range is also in the northwest direction, and it only takes a dozen days to go back and forth after crossing the Red Flame Desert. There’s enough time. Why not go and see what is there? I plan to head to the Red Dragon Mountain Range anyway."

Determined, Luo Feng decided to set out immediately.

The Red Flame Desert is fraught with dangers, and the journey may be delayed significantly.

Swoosh!

Putting away the map, Luo Feng’s figure soared like a roc spreading its wings, rising to the sky, soon disappearing into the boundless night.

...

By noon the next day, Luo Feng arrived at Red Mysterious City.

Red Mysterious City is the only city within thousands of miles, and at noon, various people came and went, bustling with activity.

Luo Feng paid a twenty first-grade Yuan Stone city entry fee and smoothly entered the city.

This place is not far from the Red Flame Desert, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Luo Feng had already put on a black mask before entering the city, and stored away Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, looking like a rich young man trained in the martial world.

"Tsk tsk... Most people are Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists, nine have cultivation higher than mine, among which three are likely True Yuan Realm Martial Artists..."

Walking on the street, Luo Feng sensed the surrounding pedestrians’ cultivation and was surprised inwardly.

Within Black Iron City, Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists are rare to see, but in Red Mysterious City, Spiritual Rotation Realm Martial Artists are everywhere, even True Yuan Realm Martial Artists.

Luo Feng felt an aura even more terrifying than True Yuan Realm Martial Artists, likely a Yuan Sea Realm Great Ability expert!

"In the vast world, my current knowledge is but a drop in the ocean..."

With a light breath, although surprised, Luo Feng was not caught off guard.

Red Mysterious City is near the perilous Red Flame Desert, where demon beasts living nearby are very fierce; those entering wouldn’t be ordinary. Common Martial Artistas would not dare come unless seeking death.

Hmm?

Just as Luo Feng was about to find a place to buy a map of the Red Flame Desert, his gaze swept over and suddenly fixed on two young figures coming towards him.

The two youths were seventeen or eighteen years of age, the one on the left wearing a blue strong outfit, often conversing respectfully with another wearing red-gold clothing.

The youth in red-gold attire had a sword hanging from his waist, his eyes narrow and gleaming like gemstones in the night, walking among the crowd with an extraordinary air.

His gaze on the youth in red-gold clothing, Luo Feng instantly recognized his identity: Crimson Cloud Fire Dragon Lu Xiao Yun!

As if sensing Luo Feng’s gaze, Lu Xiao Yun raised a brow, fixing his sharp eyes toward the location Luo Feng was just at, but people were passing by with nothing special to see, Luo Feng also wasn’t there.

"Senior Brother Lu, what’s the matter?"

The sword-browed youth beside Lu Xiao Yun asked upon seeing him suddenly stop.

Was I overly suspicious?

Lu Xiao Yun slightly frowned, then shook his head and said indifferently:

"Nothing, let’s go."

Watching Lu Xiao Yun and the other leave, Luo Feng emerged from behind a street vendor.

He didn’t want to have a conflict with Lu Xiao Yun here; the moment he spotted him, he left the place and hid.

"Lu Xiao Yun... I wonder what he’s doing in Red Mysterious City? However, his aura has a sense of completion, his cultivation apparently reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Seems like he’s made significant progress lately..."

With slight contemplation, Luo Feng didn’t dwell on it much, and turned to weave into the crowd on the street.
