Ye Feng, Xi Yao, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan rode on the dragon Ye Qing, heading closer to the lava valley.

Meanwhile, countless people are searching in the Southern Wilderness Mountains, and they are not far from the Lava Valley.

Three elderly men dressed in black robes led more than twenty disciples as they wandered around the Southern Wilderness Mountains, seemingly searching for someone.

These three are Chen Guangtian, the Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect; Xiao Changqing, the Second Elder; and Zhao Tailong, the Third Elder!

They were ordered by Li Youming, the leader of the Demon Sect, to search for and capture Ye Feng in the Southern Wilderness Mountains!

Their target was none other than the Immortal Demon Palace on Ye Feng's body!

On the other side, a male and a female general, leading two elite troops of about a hundred men each, were also searching everywhere in the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

These two generals are none other than General Longwu and General Fengtian, the two pillars of the Lingwu Empire!

"We've been searching for so many days, how come we haven't even found a trace of Ye Feng?"

"Has Night Wind already left the Southern Wilderness Mountains?"

General Fengtian muttered to himself, his brows furrowed tightly.

General Longwu said coldly, "If you find it tiring, you are free to lead your troops back."

"I will not admit defeat to you. I will definitely be the one who catches Ye Feng!" General Feng Tian said without any politeness.

Besides the three elders of the Demon Sect and the two pillars of the Lingwu Empire, there are many other sect leaders and young sect leaders who roam around the Southern Wilderness Mountains.

Their target is Ye Feng!

More than a day has finally passed.

The surrounding terrain has changed dramatically; the ground below is no longer dense forest, but rather strips of lava.

Red lava flowed everywhere on the ground, and even the places not swallowed by the lava retained an astonishingly high temperature.

As the air is heated and rises, the light changes, so when viewed from the air, it appears as if water ripples are constantly flowing across the ground.

"We've arrived at Lava Valley," Xi Yao said.

Both Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing wore solemn expressions.

Because they could sense a dangerous aura emanating from the lava valley.

Under such immense pressure, both of them even felt short of breath.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan's abilities are still too weak.

A martial artist at the Separation and Union Realm would be considered quite capable in Cloud Spirit City or any other city.

But here, the Separation and Union Realm is simply not enough!

However, with the night wind protecting them, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan will definitely not encounter any danger.

Just then, Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Because he could sense that the Soul Jade had suddenly changed its behavior and become scalding hot!

Ye Feng immediately took out the Soul Jade. Upon inspection, he discovered that the Soul Jade had turned crimson red, and a small point of light was flickering slightly and moving gently within the Soul Jade, as if guiding Ye Feng.

"It seems my judgment was correct after all; the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm is indeed located in this lava valley!" Ye Feng laughed.

Then, Ye Feng patted the dragon Ye Qing beneath him and personally guided him the way.

About two hours passed.

Night Breeze and his group arrived at the center of the lava valley.

Lava Valley is a large basin filled with rivers formed by lava. The crimson lava flows continuously and bubbles loudly.

The entire lava valley was filled with the smell of sulfur.

However, there are several mountain peaks in the center of the lava valley.

These mountain peaks are bare of vegetation, grayish-black in color, and just the right size to stand on.

The dragon Ye Qing landed on one of the mountain peaks, and Ye Feng, Xi Yao, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan all got off Ye Qing's back.

"Is this the place, Night Breeze?" Xi Yao asked.

“Yes, this is it!” Ye Feng said with absolute certainty.

“But there’s clearly nothing here.” Sun Muqing looked around and asked in confusion.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "The Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm is not open yet, so of course you can't see it."

"Then how do we open the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm? Or do we just need to do nothing and wait for it to open?" Jiang Lingxuan asked immediately.

Night Breeze smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

After speaking, Ye Feng took out the Soul Jade and held it high.

A massive amount of true energy surged from Ye Feng's body and poured into the Soul Jade.

The Soul Jade immediately released a crimson beam of light, which pierced through the clouds and pointed straight to the sky in an instant!

In an instant, the entire Southern Wilderness Mountain Range was alarmed.

The third elder of the Demon Sect and more than twenty disciples all looked towards the direction of the Lava Valley.

What is that?

"What a powerful aura!"

"Could it be that the legendary Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm has appeared in the world?!"

The First Elder Chen Guangtian, the Second Elder Xiao Changqing, and the Third Elder Zhao Tailong exchanged a glance, then all took flight, leading more than twenty disciples toward the Lava Valley.

On the other side, General Longwu and General Fengtian were also attracted by the crimson pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth!

"We never expected that instead of finding Ye Feng, we would find the legendary Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm!"

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to you effortlessly!"

General Longwu and General Fengtian were both moved. Then, they took the lead and flew towards the direction of the pillar of light. The two elite troops of a hundred men each followed, flying towards the lava valley like locusts.

Other major sects have also noticed the anomaly in the Lava Valley.

They converged on the lava valley without prior arrangement, and for a moment the entire Southern Wilderness Mountain Range was filled with the feeling of wind and clouds gathering and dragons and tigers intersecting!

A crimson gate, seemingly made of light, appeared before Ye Feng and the others.

Moreover, the Soul Jade is currently located right in the center of this gate.

Without a doubt, this gate was summoned by the Soul Jade, and the folding fan gate must be the gateway to the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm!

The Soul Jade is the key to unlocking the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm!

"How amazing..." Sun Muqing exclaimed in amazement.

Jiang Lingxuan said, "It seems that it will take about an hour to open this door."

Jiang Lingxuan's judgment was correct; although the door had appeared, it was very illusory.

As time went by, the door gradually became solid.

Judging from this speed, it will take about an hour for the gate to be fully formed and successfully opened!

"Just wait patiently, an hour will be up soon," Xi Yao said.

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan nodded together.

Before we knew it, an hour had finally passed.

The crimson gate in the air finally took shape, and both doors opened together with a clanging sound.

The light emitted by the Soul Jade gradually dimmed, and finally completely disappeared, falling back into Ye Feng's hands.

"Let's go in."

Night Breeze put away the Soul Jade and said with a smile.
