Three people walked back through the dimensional barrier and returned to their original territory, and at the same time, Hougetsu-hime also arrived.

"Senior," she saw the Bright Fire in Lin Fan's hand and paused, "Did you catch the Bright Fire?"

"Yes," Lin Fan nodded, "Let's go back and tell your people that we can leave now."

Hougetsu-hime hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay."

"Wow~ Master, when did you establish contact with this guy?" Chen Feng looked at Hougetsu-hime's departing figure and said with a hint of regret.

"You brat, are you trying to teach your master a lesson?" Lin Fan said angrily.

"Of course not, how could your disciple dare to teach his master a lesson?"

"Then don't ask what shouldn't be asked," Lin Fan said abruptly.

After speaking, he looked at the Bright Fire in his hand.

"Hey, you said that I caught you, and I can ask for any conditions, right?"

"Wuwuwu~" The Bright Fire at this moment couldn't laugh anymore, but instead sobbed, "It's not fun at all, you all bully me, wuwuwu~"

Lin Fan was speechless for a moment, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and light up this world, I don't have time to waste with you."

The Bright Fire thought for a moment and said, "After that, can you play with me?"

"Why should I play with you?" Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

"Because you will definitely need my help in the future," the Bright Fire said confidently.

After a little thought, Lin Fan agreed, "Okay, but the condition is that you must help me. If you can't help, I'll stuff you into the mouth of the Flame Beast."

"Ah?" It was obviously a little scared, but still agreed, "Don't worry, you will definitely need my help."

With that, the light on it gradually converged, and then turned into a palm-sized fire spirit.

"It really is a fire spirit," Lin Fan muttered to himself, feeling secretly delighted.

This was the reason why Lin Fan agreed to it. This Secret Realm was a fire attribute realm, and fire spirits were the rarest existence here, especially a powerful one like the Bright Fire.

Since it said it could help him, there must be a place where he could use it. Besides, even if he couldn't use it, what harm could it do?

"Then let's make a deal. I'll help you, and you'll play with me," the Bright Fire stared at Lin Fan, afraid that he would go back on his word.

"Of course," Lin Fan nodded.

The Bright Fire finally felt relieved. It opened its mouth slightly, and a huge suction force came from its mouth. In an instant, the dark flames that filled the air were all absorbed into its belly.

"I'll be damned, the dark flames actually came out of this little guy's belly?" Chen Feng exclaimed in shock.

Even Dan Yangzi, who was born in the Central Continent, couldn't help but marvel at the scene, "In the end, we are still too small. Most things in the world are astonishing and unexpected."

In just a minute, the world that was originally filled with dark flames returned to brightness.

Note that this brightness was not the same as the darkness when Lin Fan and the others arrived, but genuine brightness.

At this moment, the Bright Fire was no longer bright, but transformed into a cute and silly "little black".

"Um, I'm full. Let's go," the Bright Fire looked at Lin Fan and said.

"Hehehe..." Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the little guy, "So it was you who turned this territory into this state. No wonder the Flame Beast wanted to eat you, little black."

Hearing Lin Fan's nickname, it became annoyed, "I'm not called little black, I'm called the Dark Abyss Spirit. Also, it's because they didn't play with me that I punished them."

Lin Fan patted its head and smiled, "Okay, I got it, little black. I'll play with you from now on."

"I'll say it again, I'm not called little black, I'm the Dark Abyss Spirit."

"Okay, okay, little black, I got it."

The sky was already bright, and Lin Fan led the others, facing the dawn, and set off for the next destination.

Some of the people from the Moon Soul Land stayed behind, as they had been busy dealing with the Dark Flames before and didn't have time to explore here.

Now that they finally had the opportunity, they naturally wouldn't let it go.

...

In front of the dimensional barrier.

Lin Fan slowly raised his hand and successfully shattered the dimensional barrier.

"Let's go, to the next territory."

Led by Lin Fan, the group walked into the teleportation crack.

Lin Fan didn't need to worry about them competing with him for the Annihilation of Emptiness, because they knew their place.

In front of them was a world transition, and the group arrived at the second territory.

This is a forest surrounded by countless large trees, stretching as far as the eye can see. The flowers and plants on the ground emit poisonous gas, which permeates the entire sky and earth. The ground is soaked with various toxic waters, toxic soups, human corpses, debris, and bone fragments are scattered everywhere.

As the few people took a slight breath, the dark green poisonous gas rushed into their nostrils, as if corroding their respiratory tract.

[Copy Mission 3: This is a plate formed by toxic flames, where toxic gas is everywhere. The toxic gas in the air will slowly corrode your internal organs until death. On this territory, every flower, every tree, and every flame beast will be the executioner that ends your life. Only by finding the Fire Marsh Heart immersed in the toxic flame marsh can the toxic flames be purified. Please find the Fire Marsh Heart, host.]

[Task tracking has been activated.]

[Task reward: Power of Breaking Through; Poison Path Spirit Ascension (Host's poison path talent fully activated, immune to all poisons).]

"The Poison Path Spirit Ascension, this reward is quite useful."

"But how do I find the Fire Marsh Heart in the toxic flame marsh?"

Lin Fan felt a bit overwhelmed. The toxic flame marsh was filled with extreme toxicity. Even a slight touch could cost someone their life.

Wait a minute, isn't the purification barrier given to me by the system used to prevent extreme toxicity? No wonder they didn't tell me at the beginning. It turns out it's used here.

"System, activate the purification barrier."

A milky-white halo gradually appeared around Lin Fan's body, with Lin Fan at the center, covering an area of one hundred meters around him, just enough to protect everyone inside.

"Master, what is this..."

Lin Fan explained, "This is a plate formed by toxic flames. Once the toxic gas here is inhaled, it will slowly corrode the internal organs. My barrier can resist this toxic gas. However, I am currently just a clone, and most of my power needs to be retained for emergencies. Therefore, this barrier can only be maintained for one day, and if you want to use it again, you have to wait for a day to recover."

Upon hearing this, the few people couldn't help but frown.

"But you don't need to worry too much. As long as you find the toxic flame marsh and obtain the Fire Marsh Heart inside, you can detoxify and leave this place."

Upon hearing this, the tension in everyone's hearts eased slightly.

"Alright, let's first see who died here."

Shi Yueji nodded and immediately sent someone to investigate.

"This person is Mu Xiangxuan, one of the Ten Masters of the Southern Region. She actually died here?"

"Here is the Hundred Divine Qi of the Western Region, Yun Zizai from the Yun Family, and Qian Kongling from the Qian Family."

"I found Yan Ji from the Northern Region here, as well as Mo Youxue and others."

"I found Pure Yang and Mu Xue from the Eastern Domain."

"What?" Upon hearing these two names, Xuan Yuan Qingwu and Qing Yu's bodies trembled, and they quickly ran over.

Two bodies torn apart by sharp claws on the ground, combined with the level of decomposition, their faces were already unrecognizable. It was purely based on their spiritual aura that they were identified.

"Uncle Chunyang, Uncle Muxue..."

The two women knelt beside the bodies, tears streaming down their faces.

Lin Fan saw this but did not intervene. In one's lifetime, there are too many things one must face: betrayal, death, desire, and love. Each one is the cruelest thing in this world, and there is no way to avoid them.

This is the path that everyone must go through in life, with no shortcuts to take.

"Master, aren't you going to say something?" Chen Feng asked.

"Chen, my boy, saying something now might bring them some warmth. But have you ever thought about the fact that in this lifetime, everyone has to walk their own path alone? Any companionship and acquaintance are temporary. This time, I can comfort them, but what about the future? Do they have to rely on me forever?"

"Instead of offering them temporary comfort, I hope they can understand and see the cruelty of the world."

Chen Feng remained silent upon hearing this.

He understood the meaning behind Lin Fan's words, but with his current mindset and experience, he couldn't fully comprehend or understand.

After a moment, he slowly approached the two women and began to console them.

In contrast, Dan Yangzi seemed to have a deeper understanding. He emerged from Chen Feng's body and said, "Master's words are too profound. With this child's current mindset, he may not fully grasp them."

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "I just want him to remember. When he experiences something similar in the future, if he can recall what I said, that will be enough."

Dan Yangzi froze, as if he had suddenly realized something.

At the same time, Lin Fan's cultivation successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

"..."

Various sounds came from all around, causing Lin Fan's heart to sink.

"These people are well-known figures from the Four Realms. I didn't expect them to be directly teleported here," said Houn Yueji.

"Lord Soul King, we haven't found the bodies of the leaders from the Four Realms."

"I see," Houn Yueji said, "Although the deceased held high positions, they were not important figures. So where did these people go?"

"Hehehe~"

Suddenly, a strange laughter echoed, and the surrounding poison gas became denser.

A cluster of eerie green flames appeared in the space, forming a portal of light.
