Thief Appears

Arriving at the back mountain, the Ginseng Fruit Tree towered, blocking out the sun, a vast expanse of green above.

Li Mo disliked this feeling, but in order to replicate the Ginseng Fruit Tree, he couldn't help but step forward.

He placed his palm on the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

"Ding! Ginseng Fruit Tree replication successful, 2/10 Great Spiritual Roots collected, Ginseng Fruit Tree has been placed in the System Space."

As the voice sounded, Li Mo couldn't help but curve his lips and directly checked the Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Perhaps the tree would have fruit now. If so, that would be wonderful.

However, the result left Li Mo somewhat disappointed.

The tree had not borne fruit and would require another ten thousand years of growth before it could.

"Big Brother, this Ginseng Fruit Tree is truly formidable, completely unaffected by the Samadhi True Fire. We can't find any clues here, what should we do now? Should we just leave?"

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi asked.

Di Jun tilted his head and looked at Li Mo.

For a moment, their eyes met, and Li Mo inwardly grumbled at Di Jun's gaze.

Why are you looking at me like that, Brother Jun? Do I have clues growing on me? Why don't we check the surroundings and ask if there are any creatures who know how to use Samadhi True Fire!

Samadhi True Fire is incredibly powerful. While not comparable to ordinary flames, it's not something every creature can master. If we search carefully, we'll surely find something.

Di Jun's eyes lit up, and a smile curved his lips.

He knew Li Mo would have a way. He said, "Let's go. We'll search for the whereabouts of the Ginseng Fruit. Once we find it and return it to Zhen Yuanzi, he will surely resolve the misunderstanding and become our friend."

"Samadhi True Fire is powerful. If there are creatures nearby who know how to use it, news will surely spread."

Brother Jun's mind is quite sharp!

The three demons flew through the air towards a forest.

This forest was called the Fire Maple Forest. It was indeed filled with a dense aura of flames, even the trees within were stained a shade of red.

"The aura of flames in this Fire Maple Forest is extraordinary. If someone knew how to use Samadhi True Fire, they would likely choose such a good place to cultivate. It would greatly benefit the enhancement of their flame power,"

Di Jun landed on a rock, hands behind his back, and spoke.

"This Fire Maple Forest is vast, perhaps spanning a hundred thousand miles. The creatures within are countless. If we search one by one, it would be too troublesome. Even if we found the person, the thirty Ginseng Fruits might have already been devoured by them," Eastern Emperor Tai Yi shook his head.

Li Mo was very lazy, lying down wherever he went, as if he had never stood up.

Not necessarily. Ginseng Fruits can enhance strength. Since that's the case, they would definitely need to be refined. In this amount of time, it's estimated that not a single Ginseng Fruit has been refined.

How about my method!

Li Mo spoke without further ado. His mid-stage Mystic Immortal strength erupted, and endless Solar True Fire spread outwards madly.

Within the Fire Maple Forest, many fire maple trees were directly burned to ashes.

Tai Yi saw this and was somewhat confused, asking, "Fifth Brother, what are you doing?"

Di Jun stared at Li Mo, unsure of what he intended to do.

However, the next moment.

Within the Fire Maple Forest, several small demons who were in seclusion suddenly spoke.

"What a powerful flame aura!"

"Amazing! It's even stronger than Samadhi True Fire!"

"That's right! Only Phoenix Fire and Solar True Fire can compare to this aura!"

"If only I could obtain such powerful flame energy."

Li Mo suddenly spoke, "I am idle and wish to impart the Way of Solar True Fire to disciples who understand Samadhi True Fire."

As soon as these words were spoken, many small demons in the Fire Maple Forest cried out.

"What? He wants to take disciples?"

"Hurry and become his disciple!"

"I'm already a Mystic Immortal, and he's only a Mystic Immortal too."

"I want to go, I'm only an Earth Immortal."

"But you're not qualified, you don't understand Samadhi True Fire."

"There's one guy who's qualified, but he's already at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He probably won't become a disciple."

Hearing this, Di Jun's lips curved, and he finally understood what was going on.

Di Jun reached out and directly pulled the speaking small demon over.

His peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal strength was revealed without reservation. The scorching power surrounding him made no one dare to underestimate his might.

Many creatures immediately knelt on the ground, trembling, their bodies covered in cold sweat.

No one had expected that there was such a powerful being at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal here.

"Little demon! Where is the one you mentioned who understands Samadhi True Fire? What is his name?" Di Jun asked.

"It... it's in the Fire Maple Forest, nesting on a spiritual root, a fire-attribute spiritual root called the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree. Its name is Bi Fang."

The little demon, terrified by Di Jun, didn't dare to lie and told him everything.

[Bi Fang! The divine bird Bi Fang! No, it's not a divine bird yet.]

[Peak Golden Immortal strength, not bad, not bad. Can Brother Jun let this guy go? The Heavenly Court is short on people; if we can take him, we should.]

"Lead the way to the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree!" Di Jun commanded.

Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Monkey, merely a Heavenly Immortal, could only act as a guide, leading the three demons toward the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree.

"It's over, it's over! Bi Fang is going to die."

"Not necessarily. Bi Fang's mist technique for obscuring vision is extremely powerful. Maybe it'll escape."

"Impossible! The opponent is at the peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm."

"Who knows what might happen."

At this moment, Bi Fang was on the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree, refining a Ginseng Fruit.

Once this Ginseng Fruit was refined, its strength would advance to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

By then, it would be considered a significant figure in the Great Desolation.

Finding a mountain peak and establishing itself as a demon king, wouldn't that be wonderful?

However, even though it had found this place within the Fire Maple Forest, on the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree, with its dense fire-attribute aura.

Refining the Ginseng Fruit was still a bit slow. If only it could find an even better location.

Suddenly.

It abruptly opened its eyes, its feathers bristling on its arm as a sense of danger descended.

Immediately after, a voice echoed.

"Bi Fang! Do you have the Ginseng Fruit?"

The speaker was none other than Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

Concurrently, the aura of a peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal surrounding him surged towards Bi Fang on the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree, crushing down directly.

Bi Fang felt an incredibly powerful pressure bearing down on it.

It didn't dare to utter a word. The opponent's target was clearly the Ginseng Fruit.

How could such a treasure fall into someone else's hands?

With a cry, it tore through the oppressive force.

Then, it soared into the air.

From its sharp beak, endless Samadhi True Fire erupted like a torrential downpour, covering a radius of a hundred miles.

It sprayed down furiously, the scorching heat igniting the Flame Spirit Fruit Tree below.

The Fire Maple Tree also turned to ash!

"It's over! I'm going to die!"

The Fire Spirit Monkey shrieked.
