Perhaps the further they walked, the greater the resistance they encountered, and the people who had been following Tang Rao's footprints began to hesitate.

"Brother Zhang San, did we take the wrong path?"

This group wasn't from the Emperor Sect, but another sect, the Tubo Sect.

Luckily, Tang Rao wasn't around, or he would have laughed his head off upon hearing the name.

"What nonsense! It's so hot here, there's bound to be a fortuitous encounter ahead. Let's hold on a bit longer, and we'll gain one ourselves."

The person called Brother Zhang San was persistent.

But the hair on their bodies had been singed off, their eyelashes gone, and even their beards.

If they continued walking, all their hair would be gone.

...

After another couple of miles, Zhang San and his group couldn't move another step forward, the sweat on their bodies sizzling, clothes becoming brittle and ready to catch fire at any moment.

"Maybe we did take the wrong path; this place is truly strange."

Zhang San, who never doubted himself, started to waver.

"Yeah, if we head in the opposite direction, there shouldn't be much of a problem."

The man behind Zhang San didn't notice his hair was completely singed.

Fortunately, Zhang San stopped just in time, avoiding the pain of being roasted like a suckling pig.

With a new map in hand, Tang Rao was like a powered-up gamer fighting monsters.

Everything was smooth sailing, and even his mood brightened.

"Roast potatoes, those roast potatoes, potatoes, those potatoes."

Ahead, was a scene of chirping birds and fragrant flowers, a vibrant and lively sight.

"Brother Wang Ba, the map shows this area is very safe. Let's camp here tonight; we're in no rush to leave, after all, it's only the second day."

Tang Rao took out three tents from his space ring, set them up, then dusted his hands and spoke.

"Very well, I've always heard from those who left the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum that the scenery inside is beautiful. Even if we're not after heavenly treasures, just playing around here is nice."

Ba Wangba's carefree demeanor made Tang Rao quite envious.

"Brother Wang Ba, you worked hard avenging me today. I'll go find a couple of wild rabbits for us to barbecue tonight, as a token of my thanks."

Tang Rao was so fawning that he scared even himself, and Ba Wangba, already hungry, nodded without reservation.

"Then thank you, Brother Tang Rao."

Upon hearing that Tang Rao was going rabbit hunting, Xiao Yun quickly hid inside the tent.

"Brother Tang Rao, hurry up and go; I'm too hungry to walk."

Xiao Yun had no intention of chasing rabbits.

The rabbits in the mausoleum seemed practically enchanted; catching one would take half of Xiao Yun's life.

She only needed to handle the eating part.

Xiao Yun's unwillingness was a relief to Tang Rao.

"Alright, alright, I know you're just being lazy, I'll go by myself."

When he left, Tang Rao wore a reluctant expression.

It wasn't until he was out of sight from Ba Wangba and Xiao Yun that Tang Rao tore through space and returned to the previously bustling place.

"This fire, this heat source, definitely has something wrong with it."

Tang Rao muttered to himself.

Feeling the raging flames ahead, Tang Rao appeared deep in thought.

"Benefactor, you finally noticed something's wrong with this fire."

Suddenly, Li Shengxuan's voice came through, giving Tang Rao a fright. "Shengxuan, it's not like Brother Tang Rao doesn't let you talk; tell me the mystery of this fire."

At key moments, one cannot afford to be stubborn.

It was all because of Tang Rao's soft-heartedness back then that he couldn't bear to...

"My dear Shengxuan, next time you show up, could you give a hint? You almost gave me a heart attack."

The Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum was spooky enough without Li Shengxuan's surprises; no matter how brave he was, he couldn't handle it.

"Alright, Benefactor."

Shengxuan held her tongue.

No, Tang Rao didn't want Shengxuan to say nothing at all.

This girl obviously knew there was something wrong with the fire but didn't tell Tang Rao.

Apparently, having spent too much time in the mobile palace, Li Shengxuan had been led astray by Fang Jinxiu.

"Shengxuan, it's not like Brother Tang Rao doesn't let you talk; tell me the mystery of this fire, alright?"

At key moments, one cannot afford to be stubborn.

It was all because Tang Rao couldn't bear to place Shengxuan and Fang Jinxiu in different places back then. With only one mobile palace, Tang Rao had no choice but to place them together.

Upon seeing Tang Rao concede, Li Shengxuan reluctantly began to speak: "Isn't there a Little Spark inside you? Doesn't the heat wave feel similar to the one in front of us?"

Li Shengxuan's deliberate guidance made Tang Rao's eyes light up.

Indeed, it was like that.

If it were an ordinary spark, it wouldn't create such a powerful heat wave as if it could ignite the entire space. What else could it be but Dan Fire?

"Sweet Shengxuan, you truly are Brother's lucky star; I really could kiss you."

Whenever Tang Rao got excited, he spoke without thinking, and now was no exception.

"Benefactor, don't be happy too soon; whether you can control this Holy Fire is still an unknown."

Shengxuan blushed with embarrassment as she hesitantly warned Tang Rao.

Huh? What?

Shengxuan's additional words left Tang Rao scratching his head. What did she mean by "still an unknown"?

I, Tang Rao, as awesome as I am, can't even control a Dan Fire? How would I continue mixing in the Land of Immortals?

Tang Rao was defiant: "Just a trivial Dan Fire, and it's supposed to stump me? Brother Tang Rao is about to show you true skills."

Tang Rao bragged unabashedly.

Shengxuan was indeed worried about Tang Rao getting hurt while subduing the Holy Fire, so she quickly reminded him: "Benefactor, the Dan Fire in your hand is probably impressive, but it's just the Holy Fire's aftermath. The Holy Fire inside is so strong you can't even get close to it."

I don't need your reminder, Shengxuan; doing so really discourages me.

Tang Rao's tears went unnoticed, assumed to have evaporated in the Holy Fire's heat wave.

"So what am I supposed to do? The Holy Fire is so powerful, I can't even get close. Watching a treasure and not being able to take it—you intend to torture me, don't you?"

Everything inside the Immortal Emperor's Mausoleum was incredibly potent.

But these things were too powerful for the young talents to perceive.

Fortunately, Tang Rao could discern that the Holy Fire was such a treasure.

"Benefactor, this I do not know."

Shengxuan could only sense the power of the Holy Fire but was at a loss on how to subdue it, almost worrying herself to gray hair.

"What to do, what to do? Surely, I can't just watch such a good thing slip away?"

Tang Rao wouldn't let a duck in hand fly away.

No way, no matter how tough it is ahead, I have to see it for myself.

Tang Rao was overflowing with immortal energy.

He used the immortal energy in his body to envelop himself, a revelation he recently discovered—that a vast amount of immortal energy could resist a vast heat wave.

Speaking of what Tang Rao had in abundance, it was of course immortal energy.

Ask any other, and they wouldn't dare to waste immortal energy like this.
