Blazing Sand Valley

The eldest sister hasn't appeared for almost half a month—it's still the same smooth rock in front of the door, and a fox is lying on its back just like it was half a month ago.

Its furry, soft belly was exposed.

Just half a month ago, Chu Li gave him a jade slip and told him to study it on his own, and she hasn't appeared since.

He knew it! His senior sister wouldn't have that much time to teach him. He figured he'd be left to his own devices from now on, which was perfect.

This would make it easier for him to find his master.

He had also read the contents of the jade slip. It contained the most basic domain constructions, and the most basic elements were naturally the common elements such as water, fire, and earth.

The fox clan is skilled with fire and possesses foxfire, but what does that have to do with him? If his problem isn't solved, his cultivation will never improve, and even if he learns many more domains, it will be useless.

In a few days, when no one is paying attention to him, he will secretly go to his master's residence. This is the most important thing he needs to do.

Just then, the fox's previously droopy ears suddenly stood up, and the entire fox suddenly leaped up, falling into the arms of the person in a perfectly executed pose.

Or you could say that someone caught him.

Nan Yi's expression froze, but it was hidden under the fox fur and no one noticed.

Chu Li's eyes were bright, with a hint of unexpected joy in them. "Junior Brother, are you already eager to learn a new field?"

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why he was so excited. She had just come out of the Domain Pavilion when she saw the fox next door suddenly jump up.

She was worried that her junior brother might fall, so she caught him.

As she asked, she quietly and quickly stroked the soft fox fur.

Upon hearing the question, Nan Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes, struggled a few times, jumped down, and transformed into human form.

He realized he couldn't let things continue like this; he had to find a way to get his senior sister to give up teaching him.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Senior Sister, if you are busy, you can take care of yourself first. I can stay here with Master or other senior brothers and sisters in the future."

Hearing her junior brother's "thoughtful" words, Chu Li smiled and shook her head: "Master is busy, and the other junior brothers and sisters are not around. It wouldn't be right for you to enter the sect but not learn anything."

"Moreover, you went through all the hardships to become your master's disciple, so you must also want to learn how to construct a domain."

As far as Chu Li knew, her junior brothers and sisters had all become their master's disciples through their own continuous efforts.

This is because the master possesses several domains that can only be passed on to direct descendants, and those domains happen to be extremely powerful.

It can be said that the vast majority of disciples who come to the Myriad Elephants Sect are there for the sect leader, but unfortunately the sect leader cannot accept so many disciples.

The eighth junior brother in front of her must be just like the other junior brothers and sisters. How can she only care about herself and ignore the responsibilities of the senior sister?

As the senior disciple, she must help her master manage and teach her junior disciples well.

Nan Yi raised his hand to his forehead. How was he supposed to tell his senior sister that he had actually gotten in through the back door?

However, he quickly thought of another way—he raised his head again, his somewhat beautiful face seemingly shimmering in the sunlight, and the jade slip was handed out by a slender hand.

"Senior sister, I have watched all the images in the jade slip, but I still don't understand. I need more time to comprehend it."

He no longer expects his senior sister to give up on him, but he hopes she will contact him less and give him more free time.

Of course, it would be best if his "stupidity" could scare away his senior sister, since he had heard before that many geniuses dislike stupidity.

Especially those "idiots" who still can't understand even after being taught many times.

He sighed as he spoke, as if not being able to learn it was not his wish. He tried his best to recall the expressions and movements of some less capable foxes he had encountered before, and diligently imitated them, hoping that his senior sister would just say, "Forget it."

The senior sister in front of me remained silent for a while. It seemed that she had never encountered such a situation before, while the other junior brothers and sisters always understood things immediately.

Nan Yi was secretly delighted; perhaps this method really would work.

“It was my oversight,” Chu Li suddenly said.

But her words immediately made Nan Yi feel uneasy.

As expected, Chu Li continued, "I only remembered to give you the jade slip, but I forgot the most important elemental perception. So, let's head to the Blazing Sand Valley immediately."

Chu Li felt that her junior brother was too considerate. He only cared about whether she was cultivating or not, but didn't care about himself. He even wanted to learn by himself, even though he had already become a disciple.

Nan Yi was still somewhat dazed. He had actually tried to learn the contents of the jade slip, but as the jade slip said, these areas were not difficult. In fact, these were the first areas that all disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect had to learn.

He thought, he thought she would be disappointed... They were both disciples of the same master, but he couldn't even learn the most basic things.

Just like before, when he first returned to the fox clan, the fox clan was overjoyed after confirming his situation and continuously sent him to learn various unique fox clan spells.

If he learns it, the fox clan is elated; but if he doesn't learn it within a month, the foxes will all show the same look of disappointment.

He had seen those expressions countless times, and even now, he could still recall the details on their faces whenever he closed his eyes.

The wind howled, abruptly interrupting Nan Yi's complex emotions.

His long hair, which had been casually draped over his back, was violently blown up by the oncoming wind, with a few strands even hitting his face directly.

He turned to the woman beside him: "What's going on here?"

"Go to the Blazing Sand Valley, and learn the Fire Element Domain first."

Chu Li also knew that the fox's greatest skill was fire, and that starting with the element she was most familiar with would make it easier to understand the other elements.

But he didn't agree to go at all!

Wait... he didn't seem to refuse just now...

No matter what, we'll have to take the teleportation array, right? Blazing Sand Valley is quite a distance from the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

"Junior brother, hold on tight, my little green lotus, be careful not to fall."

Nan Yi looked down upon hearing the sound and saw a blue lotus flower spinning rapidly beneath their feet. The lotus flower was just large enough for the two of them to stand on.

If any one of them deviates even slightly, they could fall off the lotus.

However, his cultivation level was not what it used to be; with the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage, he might actually die from a fall—thinking about this, his expression became even more unpleasant.

Chu Li skillfully controlled the Azure Lotus, accelerating it to its maximum speed, and arrived at their destination in just one day.

Looking at the valley with its flowing molten lava, she jumped down and waited for Nan Yi to come down before retrieving the Green Lotus.

This green lotus could be considered her natal weapon, but for some reason, she was unwilling to expand it further. The thought only lingered in her mind for a moment before disappearing without a trace.

The Blazing Sand Valley is rich in fire elements, but these elements are not too explosive, making it ideal for cultivators who have just begun their training.

The two, a human and a fox, walked towards the Blazing Sand Valley. They didn't feel anything when they were on the outskirts, but the closer they got, the more they could feel the scorching heat.

Just as they were about to reach the edge of the lava, Chu Li called out in time: "We can stop here."

They were only there to experience the fire element; there was no need for them to go inside the magma. Besides, even if Nan Yi liked fire, an excessively intense fire would be unbearable for him.

Nan Yi was also aware that this was the best he could do. It wasn't that he couldn't go on the road ahead, but rather that there was no need for him to.

He didn't want to get another injury before his previous one had even healed.

Not far from his feet, lava was flowing, surrounded by red rocks. Nan Yi quickly chose a huge, smooth rock that bore a striking resemblance to the one in front of his door.

Without hesitation, he jumped onto the rock and began his cultivation there.

Seeing that he had already entered a meditative state, Chu Li couldn't help but secretly click her tongue in amazement. Her junior brother was too careless; he hadn't even set up a defensive formation around him before cultivating in the wild.

In case someone disturbs you...

Thankfully, she was there this time.

With a gentle wave of her hand, she threw something out, which silently expanded in the air until it completely enveloped Nan Yi before slowly landing.

Countless shimmering threads disappeared.

She then shifted her gaze to the surging lava, and in that instant, Nan Yi, whom she had assumed had entered a meditative state, quietly opened his eyes.

Staring at the now-vanished defensive array, a complex mix of emotions seemed to flash through his eyes, before finally settling into a calm.

Perhaps because she had been staring at the lava for too long, Chu Li began to feel a little dizzy. As her thoughts swayed, she felt as if lava was rushing towards her.

Countless red lights leaped from the lava and then fell back down, and a very subtle feeling surged through her heart—

She quickly caught that feeling in her mind, and in an instant, everything in front of her was frozen in time, and the lava that was originally rising high was also suspended in the air.

Nan Yi, who was not far away, suddenly opened his eyes and immediately saw Chu Li, who was standing motionless in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, and without thinking of anything else, he went over immediately.

When he got closer, he could see clearly that although Chu Li's eyes were closed, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and there was a faint light shimmering in the center of her forehead.

He's clearly trying to comprehend the Tao, which makes sense...

This isn't normal! How come he remembers that Chu Li had already stayed in the Domain Pavilion before arriving at Blazing Sand Valley?

Thanks to Chu Li's introductions, he now has a basic understanding of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

For example, this domain pavilion will only be used when a new domain is created.

So, in less than a month, Chu Li actually gained enlightenment again?

Nan Yi tried hard to recall if he had ever heard of Chu Li's name before. With such an astonishing speed of comprehension, he could not possibly be unknown in the world.

But perhaps he hadn't paid enough attention to the outside world before, because he had absolutely no recollection of this name.

On the contrary, the ancestor of the Myriad Manifestations Sect possessed a terrifying level of comprehension throughout the entire cultivation world. She was an extraordinary woman praised by powerful figures from all sides.

When Chu Li opened her eyes again, she found Nan Yi standing beside her, looking at her with a somewhat complicated expression.

She recalled what had happened before—it seemed she had some ideas about the domain again, but she could only start putting them into practice after returning to the sect.

Right now, the most important thing is still the eighth junior brother.

"Junior brother, how is your fire element perception?"
