Roar!

A strong Demonic Beast rushed over from the other side of the mountain. It opened its mouth and revealed its thick fangs.

Li Yi quickly rushed over, unsheathed his sword and slashed down. With a pfft, the powerful Demonic Beast was split into two, with blood dripping down.

Three days passed.

They walked along the river for a very, very long time. Along the way, they encountered countless Demonic Beast s, some strong, some weak.

Amongst them, the three sword techniques had become more proficient, and the Crippling Sun Sword Technique had also reached the second form. As for the mental cultivation method, mental cultivation method, and Sky Rain Technique, he had not had the time to cultivate them yet.

"We're here." Chen Meng raised his head, revealing a joyous expression.

When he reached there, the river started to branch out. One was mainstream, one was shunt, one was big and one was small. Li Yi could feel the scorching aura from that shunt.

After a few hours, the heat became even more intense, as if it was advancing towards a volcano.

After a few more hours, the river had gradually become shallow, leaving only the dense branches to come from all directions.

Li Yi raised his head, and saw a large crimson mountain. The mountain was like a sword sheath, standing there, and was at least a few hundred meters tall.

The scorching heat was coming from within the mountain.

The two of them looked at each other in silence, then swiftly moved forward.

At this time, a thick piece of Sword Intent descended.

Chen Meng threw out a Glyph, and Li Yi pulled out his sword to welcome it.

However, the Sword Intent was too powerful, it directly shattered the talisman's power and suppressed Li Yi's Attack.

From the other side, three to five middle-aged men slowly walked out, each of them looking at the two of them with interest.

Five men, approximately forty years old. Their cultivation realms were all in the Meridian Meridians. They wore long robes with beautiful patterns embroidered on them. They looked like beasts, but weren't dragons.

It was very obvious that they were not bandits wandering around the Mount Daliang, but outsiders like them.

"One Talisman Master, one Martial Cultivator." The man in the lead spoke in an indifferent tone, "Before my young master arrives, no one is allowed to get close to this place."

"People of the Grand Xia Dragon Dynasty." Chen Meng muttered. Her expression turned cold and she subconsciously looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi understood what he meant, immediately rushing forward with his sword held tightly by the hilt, the three slashes of the sword touching the ground, the powerful Sword Intent burst forth, like a mountain torrent erupting and flooding forward.

"He's only at the second level of the sect, yet he dares to display his sword arts in front of us?" The man in the lead laughed. With a turn of his wrist, he drew his sword from its scabbard. Weng weng weng! A sky-overflowing sword light shot out from his scabbard.

However, when he disintegrated the overlapping Sword Intent, his expression froze.

There were no longer two figures in the scene. They took advantage of the moment of carelessness to enter the mountain.

Hot, dark.

This was what Li Yi felt through the mountain passage. He even had a misconception that they were not charging into a volcano, but more so, had entered the stomach of an ancient Demonic Beast.

An hour later.

The air in the tunnel became thinner and thinner. The two of them were breathing rapidly. It was so hot that they were sweating and their bodies looked like they were about to be roasted.

"The Dao of Fire Heavenly Talisman is indeed terrifying. It hasn't even come close … the heat is enough to burn a person's soul." Chen Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his expression solemn.

"The Talisman Dao s' courtyard in the Red Star Academy also has a Heavenly Talisman." Li Yi thought for a while, then replied.

"It's not the same." She shook her head. "Genuine gifts are unfathomable. In fact, according to the legends, talents possess life and intelligence. They are more like a special kind of life form."

"Then the academy …" He was about to stop.

"The heavenly talisman in the Red Star Academy was merely drawn by the Symbol King, and is only used for cultivation." Chen Meng explained.

Perhaps that Symbol King had seen the real Heavenly Talisman before, so he carved a blurry corner of the Heavenly Talisman. It was only because it came from the hands of the Symbol King and was extremely powerful that it became a legend in the future.

"True Heavenly Symbols originate from between the heavens and the earth. Among the five elements, the product of primal chaos and grandmist. Every single Heavenly Symbol is unique and cannot be copied." Chen Meng explained once again, "According to the records of history, no one has ever obtained a Heavenly Talisman."

Li Yi was moved.

She continued, "In the ancient years, the reason why the Talisman Dao line was so powerful was because the Heavenly Talisman had illuminated the world, giving birth to many legacies."

She swept her eyes across Li Yi and said, "There is another story regarding the Heavenly Talisman. Rumor has it that in the Myth Era, there were only Heavenly Talismans and no Talisman Dao.

Li Yi's pupils contracted as he revealed a look of shock.

Chen Meng did not speak.

In reality, the legend of the Heavenly Talisman was too long in the past. Moreover, it had already been thousands of years since the last Heavenly Talisman appeared.

Thus, in this world, perhaps people had already forgotten the existence and importance of the Heavenly Talisman.

Li Yi asked: "Since the Heavenly Talisman is so powerful and scary, why are only a few people searching this place?"

Chen Meng replied, "First, because in the past, there had been too many fake Heaven Runes and people were almost numb to the emergence of the Heavenly Runes. Second, apart from Talisman Master, the Heavenly Runes were completely useless against abilities and the Martial Cultivator.

Li Yi was dumbstruck, and thought, since it's so terrifying, why are they still coming? Isn't this courting death?

She let out a breath of air and sighed. "Even though I know it could be fake, even though I know it could be a possibility of death, my father still came."

Twenty years ago, he had failed.

Now, twenty years later, would he still fight with all his might?

As that man's daughter, she had no reason to stop her father's madness.

Li Yi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and asked, "Then what is our purpose in coming here?"

She opened her mouth, "If the Heavenly Talisman is real, then Father's enemy will definitely appear. They won't let Father become the King. If the Heavenly Talisman is fake, I want to bring Father home."

Li Yi went silent, he did not try to ask any more, because there was no longer any need, Old Chen was her father, and was also his best friend. If it were not for Old Chen taking care of him for all these years, he would not even be able to differentiate between the ranks of Talisman Paper.

Gradually, the two of them went deeper and deeper.

At this point, the air was extremely thin. If not for the fact that Li Yi had already broken through his meridian and could use spirit energy to replace oxygen, he would have suffocated to death.

Of course, an intense heat assaulted their faces, but it was impossible to expel. It was as though even their souls could be burned by the heat.

Even now, he had a feeling that his clothes would catch fire. And then naked? I wonder what this little girl's figure is like?

Cough cough!

He was thinking too much, thinking too much.

He suppressed his crazy thoughts, but a smile still appeared on his face.

Puff!

All of a sudden, his clothes started to blaze, the flames burned his clothes to ashes, he subconsciously glanced at Chen Meng, only to see that his clothes were undamaged, in that moment, his smile froze, and his entire body froze.
