.
Liu Yu slowly rose from the lotus throne. The fusion of the strange fire was complete, his divine and demonic body had reached the first level, and matters on the Northwest and Northern Continents were now settled. Perhaps it was time to head to Zhongzhou.
He could explore the Eastern Continent first, as there were clues to the strange fire there, Liu Yu thought. He retracted the lotus throne and vanished into thin air.
...
A month later, outside the Great Thunder Mountains, three figures suddenly materialized from space.
They were Liu Yu and his companions. After Zi Yan's successful advancement and arrangements for the Holy Feather Empire, he, along with Medusa and Zi Yan, prepared to travel to the Eastern Continent first, then to Zhongzhou.
As for Yun Yun and Ya Fei, they were still relatively weak. The Holy Feather Empire, with its resources across two continents, was a better fit for them. Furthermore, Liu Yu had taught them the "Peeling Source Art" and given each of them a Heavenly Demon Puppet and the Holy Feather Emperor Flame's seed fire.
While the Holy Feather Empire possessed numerous Dou Zun masters, it couldn't provide full-time protection, so a little insurance was always a good idea.
Liu Yu had assigned Xiao Yixian to rule the Holy Feather Empire. He felt more at ease with her, considering her a close associate. He also promised to collect toxic medicinal herbs for her in Zhongzhou.
He also gave her a wisp of the Holy Feather Emperor Flame's seed fire, a guarantee against unrest within the Holy Feather Empire.
After his departure, Xiao Yixian could use this seed fire to end any Dou Zun in the Worship Corps who had consumed the "Zun Yuan Dan" and harbored ill intentions.
He admitted this was somewhat unethical, but to ensure Yun Yun and Ya Fei's safety, he had no choice but to maintain a hidden hand. After all, the Worship Corps comprised a significant number of Dou Zun. If they truly lost their minds and turned against him, Xiao Yixian alone wouldn't be able to withstand ten Dou Zun!
Human hearts were unpredictable. Logically, the Dou Zun in the Worship Corps had witnessed his terrifying power. Such a young eighth-grade alchemist and Dou Zun master possessed boundless potential. Any normal person would cling to him. But what if they weren't? He didn't want to gamble with Yun Yun and the others' lives.
"Boss, are you sure there's a strange fire on the East Continent? Don't run away in disgrace like last time." Zi Yan, holding Medusa's arm, said, "Hey, Sister Sha, let me tell you, last time, Boss..."
Liu Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zi Yan. What did she mean by running away in disgrace? It was clearly "assessing the situation!"
Watching Zi Yan and Medusa flirt with each other, Liu Yu's eyes lit up with amusement!
A somewhat immature queen, and a perfect queen in every way—the two of them together were a feast for the eyes, simply amazing!
Retracting his gaze, Liu Yu pulled out the ancient, dusty red map.
Curious, Zi Yan snatched it from his hands, but Liu Yu was already accustomed to this.
"This is the map to find the strange fire. It doesn't look special." Zi Yan glanced at the map casually before handing it to Medusa.
Medusa glanced at it briefly before returning it to Liu Yu.
"According to the map, there are traces of strange fire in a monster forest called 'Skyfall Demon Forest' on the Eastern Continent..." Liu Yu explained, examining the map.
"So, are we going to travel directly to the Eastern Continent by space shuttle?" Medusa looked at Liu Yu.
"No, there's a space wormhole in Dongming City, nestled in the Great Thunder Mountains,"
Liu Yu replied, then led Medusa and Zi Yan towards Dongming City.
...
After arriving in Dongming City, Liu Yu purchased the only available Class 4 spaceship from the large shop, Gong Bao Pavilion. Then, led by a Gong Bao Pavilion steward, they headed for the space wormhole.
Soon, Liu Yu and the others arrived at a vast plaza constructed from various exotic stones.
The plaza was immense, and from a towering stone platform, a powerful spatial force emanated.
"Sir, the space wormhole is located above that stone platform. Next, you simply pay the fee to the elder," the steward said cautiously, then retreated.
Sensing that there was only one Douhuang-level elder in the vast square, and no one else, and that the elder seemed to be taking a nap in a rocking chair,
Liu Yu chuckled and led Medusa and the others to the bottom of the stone platform, and came to the side of the elder.
The old man in the rocking chair noticed someone approaching and slowly opened his cloudy eyes. He glanced at Liu Yu and the others, and his gaze could not help but stop on Medusa and Zi Yan. His cloudy eyes flashed with astonishment. He had never seen such stunning beauties! Two of them!
"You damn old man, don't you want your eyes anymore?" Zi Yan's voice was cold, and an abnormal wave rippled around the old man. The space was visibly distorted.
A hint of cold murderous intent also flashed in Medusa's beautiful eyes. She hated it most when anyone other than Liu Yu looked at her with such a disgusting look!
Suddenly feeling an imminent crisis of death, the old man's old body suddenly stiffened, and he quickly closed his eyes, begging repeatedly: "Sir, please spare my life! Sir, you don't have to pay for the space wormhole, just consider it my apology."
"Hmph!" Zi Yan snorted coldly and retracted the power of space, "Boss, Sister Sha, let's go quickly, just looking at this old thing makes me sick!"
Then, Zi Yan pulled Liu Yu and Medusa along the stone stairs to the stone platform.

In the center of the stone platform, a vast, pitch-black void, several dozen feet wide, slowly spun, emanating astonishing cosmic forces.
Liu Yu and Medusa, already well-versed in wormholes, pulled Zi Yan into the wormhole.
The moment they entered, the four figures vanished instantly. A silver light slowly spread out, finally fading into the pitch-black void...
The old man reclining in the chair had already risen, gazing at the three vanishing figures with a flicker of resentment in his eyes...
Inside the wormhole
, before Liu Yu and the others lay an endless dimensional passage. On either side of the passage, faint, pale silver dimensional barriers loomed, and beyond them lay a terrifying, boundless darkness.
Liu Yu raised his hand slightly, and a small boat materialized within his palm. As soon as it appeared, it expanded rapidly like a balloon. Within a few breaths, it transformed into a vessel several feet long and wide. Wisps of pale silver cosmic forces swirled across the surface, creating a profoundly mysterious scene.
"Come aboard."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Liu Yu, Medusa, and Zi Yan quietly appeared on the spaceship.
Liu Yu reached the bow of the spaceship and was about to input his Dou Qi into the device that activated the spaceship when a slender jade hand grasped Liu Yu's.
"Boss, I want to drive the boat!" Zi Yan said with interest, having never driven a boat before.
"Okay," Liu Yu smiled, rubbing Zi Yan's head.
Zi Yan's enchanting face couldn't help but show a hint of enjoyment, but she muttered, "Boss, I'm not a child anymore!"
Then, Zi Yan waved her slender hand gently, and a powerful Dou Qi surged into the activation device at the bow. Instantly, the entire spaceship trembled slightly, and then, a thrust suddenly erupted from the stern.
"Whoosh!"
The spaceship instantly transformed into a silver stream of light, streaking through space like lightning, sweeping into the void of darkness.
Liu Yu, on the other hand, joined Medusa, enjoying a moment of their own private time
...
In a vast valley, in an empty, vacant space, stood a slightly desolate, rubble-covered square. In its center, a mysterious sigils were painted. Between these sigils, a faint silver glow emanated, revealing a hint of invisible spatial fluctuations.
Inside the valley, a team of what appeared to be law enforcement officers were idly patrolling the square. Leading them was a fierce-looking, middle-aged man whose aura suggested he was a Dou Huang.
"Sir Steward, a few years ago, some fools came here through that wormhole. I'm sure the people over there have realized the problem and won't be coming again. Why does the clan keep sending people here? Isn't this a waste of our training time?"
After a full patrol, a young man, presumably at the Dou Wang level, finally couldn't help but ask the leader, bewildered.
The young men behind him also looked at the middle-aged man, clearly puzzled.
"The elders made this decision for their own reasons. We'll just do it. Besides, we're just doing our regular patrols for a day. Afterward, the clan will send someone else over. We won't let you do any hard work, just go around and walk around. You can't even endure this little hardship, how can you even talk about cultivation?"
the middle-aged man scolded the young man.
"You're right, Master Steward!" the young man replied, but he stopped talking, secretly resenting him.
The Gong family's cultivation method requires special conditions. Initially, it must be supplemented with flesh and blood, otherwise the progress will be extremely slow! Human flesh and blood are particularly effective for cultivation.
Only when the method reaches the minor success stage, when one's Dou Qi cultivation breaks through to Dou Wang, does the need for flesh and blood decrease, but it still facilitates further cultivation.
This uncanny technique is said to have been accidentally discovered by an ancestor. While somewhat "unscrupulous," practicing according to the instructions can quickly lead to the Dou Wang realm!
The most astonishing member of the Gong family, the current patriarch, was a Dou Zun-level superpower. After practicing this technique, he became a Young Dou King at the age of twelve, causing a sensation! He was hailed as the Eastern Continent's greatest genius!
Of course, at that time, this was also due to the abundant supply of human flesh and blood. However, later, the Eastern Continent would occasionally see those with strong Dou Qi cultivation mysteriously disappear, alarming the major forces of the Eastern Continent. The Gong family then restrained themselves and shifted their focus to civilians.
However, due to the decline in flesh and blood quality, the required quantity increased. Suddenly, the sharp decline in civilians across the Eastern Continent once again attracted the attention of the major forces...
