Entering the area where the soil meets the gravel, an endless desert stretches out before you.

The air gradually became dry, and you could even see heat waves floating in the desert.

The sand in the Red Desert is different from that in other deserts; it has a faint red hue and is a deeper color, hence the name Red Desert.

"They've arrived!" Jiang Wensheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

After greeting everyone, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for coming to help. Please come back to the Jiang family with me first. I will share the relevant information about the formation with you and then we can discuss countermeasures."

Behind him were rows of tall camels. "Please, using camels is more convenient for traveling in the desert."

The domesticated camels were exceptionally docile, and everyone climbed onto them.

With a light and graceful movement, Shen Sangruo leaped gently and landed steadily on the camel's back.

The beasts were always more affectionate towards her, and this camel was overjoyed, rushing out first.

But instead of running on the ground like ordinary camels, they take to the air and walk in the sky.

Jiang Chu rode his camel and caught up with her, smiling as he spoke to her.

"This is the flying camel that Father told you about last time, which is unique to our Red Desert."

"I've been busy dealing with various matters and haven't had a chance to come to the Crimson Desert until today. It's truly amazing," Chen Sangruo replied.

This feeling is very different from when she flies using the wind.

A dodder vine sprouted from her hair, barely feeling the wind, but quickly retreated due to the scorching sun.

Shen Sanruo chuckled, and the next moment, a small black and white ball suddenly appeared in her arms.

"Zhu Miao? Why are you back?"

After the evil cultivator's conspiracy was fully exposed, Zhu Miao returned to the Illusionary Realm using a teleportation artifact to investigate whether there were any formations there.

As the mountain god, the little guy is especially responsible at times like this.

Zhu Miao proudly raised her claws, feeling the wind generated by flying, and her thoughts were transmitted to her mind through the connection between her soul and her body.

It came here specifically to experience flying camels; it wanted everything that other contracted beasts had, so it wouldn't be absent.

The little guy still loves to compete for attention, leaving Chen Sangruo both amused and exasperated.

However, the situation was indeed tense at the moment. After a brief period of reflection, Zhu Miao returned to the Illusionary Realm via a teleportation artifact.

Jiang Wensheng then began to explain the general situation of the formation.

"That formation is not far from the Jiang family. It's the same as the formation in Xingchenyuan, and it's also protected by an outer barrier."

Therefore, the only option left is to have the younger generation go in and break the formation.

After flying for a while, an oasis appeared in everyone's sight, with various buildings faintly visible in the oasis. This was the place where the Jiang family lived.

As the camels landed in the oasis, the scorching heat of the desert was blocked by layers of trees, leaving only the refreshing breeze.

In the endless red desert, this place seems like a secluded paradise.

The group arrived at the Jiang family's main hall and got straight to the point.

“Based on the information provided by the Starry Sky Formation, we have determined that there is no secret realm within this formation. However, given the cunning of those evil cultivators, there must be other devices within the formation to prevent it from being destroyed.” Jiang Wensheng’s voice was steady, his brows slightly furrowed.

"We speculate that the array protection device is most likely related to the Red Desert."

The arrangement of formations should also be tailored to local conditions. Making good use of the characteristics of the location can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Just like the formation in Xingchenyuan, it utilizes the divine souls left behind from the ancient battlefield.

"Chu'er will join the team to break the formation. He knows the Crimson Desert well enough. If the formation is indeed related to the Crimson Desert, he can provide relevant information."

Jiang Chu is now at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing that among the Ninghua Sect members, even Fang Yu and the other two, who were only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, had broken through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm in this period of time.

Ye Huai and the others had already broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Now everyone in the cultivation world knows that Ninghua Sect came from ten thousand years ago, and these individuals were all the chosen ones of heaven ten thousand years ago. It is only natural that his cultivation is inferior to theirs.

But what shocked him the most was Shen Sangruo.

How did he suddenly reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm? He's almost caught up with his father, who has been cultivating for hundreds of years.

Is this really a cultivation speed that a human could achieve?

He can't compare; he needs to work even harder.

He barely glanced at those people from the Flying Cloud Sect; those four who caught the eye of True Person Lingxiao must have exceptional talent.

If they cultivate diligently, their cultivation level will definitely surpass his, but right now they only have the cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage.

Jiang Chu's assessment of them was simply: they had become just ordinary people.

Looking at the expressions on those people's faces—whether they were depressed, conflicted, stubborn, or grief-stricken—it was clear that something was wrong; they had strayed far from the path of cultivation.

After learning the details of the formation, the group did not waste any more time and went directly to the location of the formation.

Considering that once they enter the barrier, the protective mechanisms of the formation will most likely prevent them from having a chance to come out again.

Just like last time, the plan to scout ahead first is no longer feasible.

Shen Sangruo and the others were prepared to break the formation before they could leave, so they carried even more magical artifacts with them.

In addition to the ten people from last time, Fang Yu and two others, along with Jiang Chu, a local from Chimo, entered the formation this time.

It was the first time that Fang Yu and his two companions were working together with Shen Sangruo and the others, so they were inevitably a little excited.

However, the formation was a matter of great importance to the cultivation world, and it was no child's play. Moreover, it was extremely dangerous. They quickly suppressed their excitement and became even more cautious.

The formation had already manifested; on the pale red desert, a huge semi-circular barrier still covered the ground.

The sunlight was intense, reflecting a blinding light off the barrier.

The distorted arc caused by the heat wave gave it an unreal feel, making it appear particularly eerie to onlookers.

Qingluan Fairy did not come to the Crimson Desert, but returned to the Wind and Moon Spirit Ruins to check if there were any formations in her home.

Immortal Lord Changli and other Nascent Soul stage cultivators worked together to tear a gap in the barrier.

Without the slightest hesitation, the fourteen people quickly passed through the gap and entered the barrier.

Upon entering the barrier, the barrier behind them instantly disappeared, and their field of vision became extremely open.

All around them was an endless red desert, as if they had been randomly thrown into a part of the red desert.

"Another secret realm?" Song Weiyan picked up a grain of sand from the ground; the texture was still realistic. "These evil cultivators can't possibly be so unoriginal, can they?"

He brushed the sand off his hands and stood up. "But didn't Patriarch Jiang say that the defensive device of this formation isn't a secret realm?"

Shen Sanruo looked at Luo Chu without saying anything, but Luo Chu understood what she meant.

Luo Chu looked away from her, as if she dared not meet her gaze.

After suppressing the distress in my heart, I took a deep breath and carefully investigated.

"I also don't think it looks like a secret realm, but I can't determine exactly what it is right now."
