Starfire Desert is a famous perilous area in the Southern Region, located in the northwest of Southern Region and stretching for thousands of miles. Although various spiritual herbs and treasures are scarce here, most of the Materials from the beasts are high-quality Materials used for refining treasures and armor. Thus, it has become a paradise for many Warrior Realm or martial artists seeking adventure.
The temperature in Starfire Desert varies greatly between day and night, reaching as high as forty to fifty degrees Celsius during the day, while at night it drops below minus ten degrees. Only martial artists can withstand such conditions; ordinary people simply cannot endure it.
One day, deep within Starfire Desert, an inconspicuous corner suddenly began to tremble. Layers of sand and gravel were shaken loose, quickly forming a pit over ten feet deep. In the Pit, there was an ancient teleportation array that had been buried here for who knows how many years.
As the tremors continued, the ancient teleportation array slowly lit up, emitting a dazzling glow. "Buzz..." After about ten seconds, a figure appeared on the teleportation array.
The person wore a blue robe, held a treasured sword, and had long hair tied back with a simple headband, flowing in the wind. His extremely ordinary eyes seemed capable of seeing through one's heart. It was none other than Ren Pingsheng, who had been trapped in the Abyss of Demons for five long years; he never expected that this teleportation array would bring him here.
"Ah... finally out of that hellish place," Ren Pingsheng said as he glanced around, feeling the scorching heat and letting out a sigh of relief, his emotions somewhat stirred.
"Haha, yes! I thought I would never get out. The Abyss of Demons is indeed terrifying. Perhaps we accidentally found the right path. Otherwise, who knows how many difficulties we would have faced and how much suffering we would have endured!" Demon Emperor said with some emotion.
"As they say, after hardship comes sweetness; we’ve finally made it through. I just don’t know where this place is," he said softly, having no recollection of it.
"I don't know either; I've never seen it before. However, there are people coming from twenty miles away; we can ask them for directions," replied Demon Emperor.
Ren Pingsheng nodded and turned to look at the teleportation array in the Pit. Unfortunately, for some reason, after the teleportation ended, the array turned to ashes and no longer existed. If he hadn’t just come from there, he might have thought he was seeing things! Now even if he wanted to return the same way, it was impossible.
"Quick... there's movement over there; perhaps powerful beasts will appear. If we can catch one, we might get our hands on some armor," three individuals rushed toward Ren Pingsheng, chasing each other eagerly.
About two minutes later, Ren Pingsheng saw three figures approaching from afar. They looked cautious but froze when they saw him. Instead of the beast they had imagined, a person stood before them. They exchanged glances and surrounded him.
"Kid, there was movement here just now; did you kill a beast?" one of them asked fiercely. Those who came to Starfire Desert were mostly individuals not doing well in life; otherwise, they wouldn't be hunting beasts for treasures or armor.
"Yes, kid, you'd better obediently hand over the Demon Beast. Maybe my brothers and I will consider letting you go," another person nearby coaxed.
Seeing their movements, Ren Pingsheng was first taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh. Three Martial Mastery warriors actually wanted to rob him. It left him at a loss for words. He then retracted his aura, which vanished in an instant, and the three felt a terrifying Intimidation and Killing Intent rushing toward them.
They were startled and immediately realized they had encountered a master Senior, so they dared not move. They quickly began to bow and plead for mercy.
"We didn't know it was Senior here. We, the three brothers, have offended you and truly deserve death. We hope Senior can show mercy and not hold it against us."
"Oh, I can let you go. However, you need to answer a few questions for me. If your answers satisfy me, I will naturally let you go," Ren Pingsheng glanced at them and said with a light smile.
"Senior, please ask. We will definitely answer truthfully without holding anything back."
"Very well, then start by telling me your names!"
"My name is Chen Da, and they are Zhang Tian and Wang Gen. We three brothers had no intention of offending Senior."
"Good, now tell me what place this is, and be detailed."
"Senior, what do you mean..." Chen Da asked in surprise, but upon seeing Ren Pingsheng's expression, he immediately felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly pleaded for mercy: "Senior, forgive me, please spare my life."
"Hmph, just answer the questions without all this nonsense," Ren Pingsheng said sharply.
"Yes... back to Senior, this is the Starfire Desert in Jiangzhou, an area for exploration. People like Senior rarely come here," Chen Da replied cautiously while carefully observing Ren Pingsheng's expression.
"Jiangzhou?" He was taken aback; there was no such place as Jiangzhou in the Eastern Region Nine Provinces. This left him puzzled for a moment before a shocking thought crossed his mind. "Very well, be more detailed and expand on the scope."
"Alright, Senior." Seeing that Ren Pingsheng was not dissatisfied, he secretly wiped away a cold sweat and continued, "The Starfire Desert belongs to Jiangzhou, which is located in the northwest direction of the Southern Region. To the west, it borders Southern State, which is the center and the largest state of the Southern Region. To the east, it borders Yazhou, Leizhou, and Cangzhou. To the south, it is adjacent to Wuzhou."
"The Southern Region? It really isn't in the Eastern Region. I didn't expect the teleportation array of the Abyss of Demons to actually transport me to the Southern Region; that's terrifying. It's at least a billion miles away. How is that even possible?" After hearing this, Ren Pingsheng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was shaken. He felt somewhat helpless about being in the Southern Region.
The Southern Region is even larger than the Eastern Region and more prosperous and powerful. This is what he learned from ancient texts. Now hearing what Chen Da said, Jiangzhou should be close to the center of the Southern Region. To return to the Eastern Region, he would have to pass through Jiangzhou and then enter Cangzhou. Finally, he would have to go through Cangzhou to reach his familiar Snow State. The distance in between is likely incalculable; if he wanted to go back, he didn't know how long it would take.
"Ahem..." Coming back to his senses, he noticed that the three of them looked puzzled. He deliberately coughed to cover it up before speaking, "Very well, it seems you are quite honest. I accidentally arrived here from Cangzhou. Since you haven't lied, I naturally won't make things difficult for you."
"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!" Upon hearing this, the three immediately expressed their gratitude profusely.
"Alright, tell me which city is closest to here?"
"Senior, the closest city is Yuzhou City. If you go south about eight hundred miles after leaving Starfire Desert, you'll reach it," Chen Da said honestly.
"Good, I'm satisfied. I'll give you these items as a reward." Ren Pingsheng flipped his hand and threw out hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stones before disappearing.
The Starfire Desert stretches for tens of thousands of miles and has a depth of over three thousand miles. His current location is still a thousand miles away from exiting; for him, that's just half a day's journey.
"Big brother, we struck it rich! These are all High-Grade Spirit Stones!" The three gathered together and laughed foolishly. For Martial Master Realm Martial Artists, High-Grade Spirit Stones are valuable items. They usually use Medium-Grade Spirit Stones to recover True Qi. Not everyone can be as wealthy as Ren Pingsheng with an abundance of Supreme Spirit Stones.
"Haha, yes! Let's leave as well. With these Spirit Stones, we can easily buy three pieces of precious armor."
"Haha, alright! Let's go!" For them, being able to acquire three pieces of precious armor was a tremendous fortune; as for why Ren Pingsheng appeared here, they wouldn't care at all.
"I never expected to end up in the Southern Region." Ren Pingsheng walked through the air with an indescribable expression on his face.
"Southern Region. I have been here before, but that was a long time ago. I remember I was only at the Sect level back then, and I came here just for sightseeing. In fact, in the four regions of East, South, West, and North, many martial artists from the other three regions come to Southern Region for exploration once they reach a certain level of cultivation." Demon Emperor reminisced about the past with a hint of emotion.
"Oh, I really didn't know that. So I guess I'm ahead of schedule this time."
"Hehe, your cultivation is sufficient for that. The Southern Region can be said to be the largest and most prosperous place among the four regions, as well as the strongest in terms of power, where talented Monsters emerge one after another. Of course, there are also the most opportunities here. Opportunities and rivals are the reasons why those martial artists come here."
"It seems I also need to explore here for a while. It looks like I won't be able to return to the Eastern Region anytime soon." Ren Pingsheng shook his head helplessly.
"Actually, for you, it doesn't matter whether it's the Eastern Region or Southern Region, as long as you can improve your cultivation. Even if you return to the Eastern Region, what will you do? Even if you seek revenge, your current high-level respect cultivation is still somewhat lacking." Demon Emperor offered some advice.
"Yes, you're right. Even if I want to go back, I need to at least have Sect-level cultivation. However, I can feel that my cultivation will break through soon; I'll reach full respect level very shortly."
"Haha, your five years in the Abyss of Demons have indeed been fruitful; it’s hard to imagine how much you will grow in the future." While he spoke, he was thinking about that Demon Heart, which was also the reason for his confidence. Anyone who obtained such a Demon Heart would have limitless potential in the future.
"Fruitful?" Ren Pingsheng murmured softly. In fact, after coming out of the Abyss of Demons, he had understood everything about his body; he just hadn’t thought deeply about it at that time due to his eagerness to leave. Now he couldn't help but examine everything within him.
What first caught his attention was that heart of slaughter. It looked very strange now—half red and half gray—with streams of grayish-white energy continuously surging out, circulating through his meridians before flowing back again, just like the blood in another heart constantly circulating within him.
Next was the Dantian, where six-colored whirlwinds were spinning. The pool below storing demonic energy was almost full, which meant he would soon reach full respect level. At that point, he could attempt a breakthrough and become a Sect-level powerhouse; it didn’t seem too far off.
Ren Pingsheng had been unconscious in the Abyss of Demons for three years. During those three years, his body underwent tremendous changes due to the transformation from slaughter energy and the Demon Heart.
Even now, those at the Sect level were far inferior to him. Not to mention his crystalline meridians that could withstand two or even three times the impact of demonic energy without any pressure.
