After Liu Changxu led the Liu Household's Expeditionary Army to capture Fireland Island, he knew full well that the Azure Dragon Race would never let the matter rest. Retaliation could descend at any moment. Not daring to slacken in the slightest, he immediately ordered every soldier to begin setting up the Island-Guarding Grand Formation and the Super Teleportation Formation.
However, Fireland Island was vast, far larger than an ordinary island and almost comparable to a small continent. This posed tremendous obstacles to establishing the Island-Guarding Grand Formation.

Fire Dragon Mountain was the colossal volcano that housed the ninth-tier fire dragon's Dragon Palace secret realm, as well as the mid-ninth-tier fire spirit vein.
