Indeed, the little fire qilin had become very excited ever since entering the edge of the Flame Realm. He frequently came out of his storage ring, greedily absorbing the fire spiritual energy in the air, and the golden flames on his body became increasingly bright.
After flying for a few more days, a majestic crimson city appeared on the horizon ahead.
The city walls were a hundred feet tall, and were made entirely of dark red stone, reflecting a scorching luster under the sunlight.
Above the city wall, shrouded in a faint red light shield, which is the city defense array.
The city was filled with buildings standing side by side, the tallest reaching hundreds of feet and piercing the clouds.
From a distance, one could sense countless powerful auras within the city, among which some auras were ethereal and profound, clearly belonging to True Immortal Realm experts.
Red Flame City, the number one city in the Fire Domain, we have arrived.
David and the Red Cloud Demon Lord landed a few miles outside the city, concealed their aura, and walked towards the city gate together with the people passing by.
Red Flame City was more than a hundred times larger than Sandstone City. The city gates were filled with people, and those entering and leaving generally had higher cultivation levels. Sixth and seventh level Heavenly Gods were everywhere, and sometimes even ninth level Heavenly Gods could be seen flying straight into the city—clearly, the no-flying order in Scarlet Flame City was ineffective against level nine Heavenly Gods.
The entrance fee to this city was also very high: 10,000 high-quality spiritual stones per person.
David paid 20,000 spiritual stones and entered the giant city of the Fire Realm together with the Red Cloud Demon Lord.
The streets of the city are wide, paved with polished red stone slabs, and lined with shops on both sides.
The items for sale are mostly fire-based materials, potions, and magical artifacts. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and magma, and the temperature was even higher than outside the city. Ordinary True God cultivators might need to channel their immortal power to withstand the high temperatures here.
“Let’s find a place to stay first, then head to the Fire Earth Pavilion,” said David.
The two found a medium-sized inn in the city and stayed there.
The inn was called Yanxinju. The location is not in the city center, but the environment is quite comfortable. Most importantly, the owner seemed honest and had integrity, unlike the spies from the Evil Path Hall.
After resting for a while, David asked the innkeeper for directions to the Fire Earth Pavilion.
“Earthfire Pavilion?”
The young man was an intelligent person. Although his cultivation level was only at the fifth rank of the Heavenly God Realm, he knew the Red Flame City very well. “You two seniors are here to participate in the Earth Fire Trial, right? The Earth Fire Pavilion is at the center of the city. It is the largest red tower. However, not just anyone can enter the Earth Fire Pavilion. You need an introduction or you have to be an invited participant in the trial.”
“Who refers?”
David frowned. “We come from far away and no one can introduce us. How can we qualify to participate in this trial?”
“this……”
The man scratched his head. “The qualifying selection for the Earth Fire Trial ended three months ago. If you want to participate now, you need special permission from an Earth Fire Pavilion elder, or… complete certain special tasks issued by the Earth Fire Pavilion before the test begins to obtain contribution points that can be exchanged for qualifications.”
Special mission?
David’s heart pounded: “Where does the Earth Fire Pavilion post the mission?”
“In the mission hall south of the city, all the major forces placed their missions, and the Earthfire Pavilion was no exception. However”
The man lowered his voice, “The missions issued by the Earth Fire Pavilion are usually very dangerous. They usually involve collecting rare materials in the depths of the dangerous Flame Realm or hunting down powerful fire-type wild beasts. Many cultivators who wanted to take a shortcut accepted these missions, but not a single one of them ever returned.”
“Okay, thank you.” David gave some spiritual stones to the shop owner as a tip.
The shopkeeper happily accepted the money and said, “If you two want to go to the mission hall, I can lead the way.”
“In addition, there’s a warning: things in Red Flame City haven’t been going well recently. I heard that a cultivator named David has offended the Evil Path Hall, and they’re looking for him all over the city with a reward of up to one million high-grade spiritual stones.”
“If you two meet suspicious people, you should stay away from them.”
David and the Red Cloud Demon Lord exchanged glances, both seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.
The Evil Path Hall acted quickly; The bounty had arrived at Red Flame City.
Moreover, judging from the servant’s tone, the gift had caused quite a stir in the city, and many people were probably already secretly looking for David’s whereabouts.
