"Smack, smack."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, except for the sound of Mengmeng chewing food.

The little girl's gaze kept shifting between the three demon saints besides Kunpeng.

For some reason, Bai Ze and the others felt uneasy looking at the child, as if they were being watched by some ancient beast.

"Slurp." Mengmeng couldn't help but swallow.

Kunpeng was experienced and instantly understood what Mengmeng was thinking.

"My adorable little ancestor, don't do anything rash! They're all on our side," Kunpeng quickly said.

"Hmph..." Mengmeng hmphed somewhat unhappily.

Kunpeng was immediately embarrassed, then quickly went to Bai Ze's side and whispered something to him. Bai Ze's eyes gradually turned to surprise.

"Are you telling the truth?" Bai Ze countered.

"Brother Bai, at a time like this, would I still lie? Listen to me, you won't go wrong," Kunpeng said sincerely.

Bai Ze nodded and looked at Jiu Ying beside him.

"Jiuying, go to the storeroom and bring us all the precious medicinal herbs and treasures we have stored away. Go quickly," Bai Ze said.

"Uh... okay." Jiuying was a little confused, but still got up and left.

Upon hearing the word "treasure," Mengmeng's big eyes lit up, and she gave Kunpeng an approving look.

Before long, Jiuying returned. With a wave of his hand, a large pile of various spiritual herbs flew out, forming a small mountain. All of them were rare spiritual herbs that were over ten thousand or hundred thousand years old. Then, with another wave of his hand, another pile of various treasures flew out, all accumulated by the demon race over the years.

"Hiss..." Even Lu Ya was shocked by this scene. Even saints would be envious of these things.

"Wow..." Mengmeng suddenly felt that the beast leg in her hand was no longer appealing.

For the little one who was tired of peaches and ginseng fruits, the temptation of these medicinal herbs was not low. She took a few quick steps and pounced on them.

“This…” Lu Ya was somewhat confused.

However, what happened next shocked them. Mengmeng grabbed a glowing herb with her little hand and put it into her mouth without hesitation.

"No..."

High-level spiritual herbs cannot be consumed indiscriminately; otherwise, one may lose all cultivation or even die from body explosion.

"Hmm..." Mengmeng was clearly unaffected, quickly finished one plant, and then reached out and grabbed another one to put in her mouth.

“This is incredible…” Lu Ya murmured.

Bai Ze and Jiu Ying stared blankly at Mengmeng, finally believing Kunpeng's words that this child was no ordinary person.

After eating a lot, Mengmeng waved her hand and collected all the remaining spiritual herbs and treasures on the ground into her treasure pouch.

"Say it, what do you want from me?" Mengmeng walked up to Bai Ze with her hands behind her back like a little adult. Since she had accepted his food, she naturally had to make a gesture.

Bai Ze immediately looked at Kunpeng.

"Mengmeng, let's discuss this, could you do me a favor?" Kunpeng said with a smile.

"What kind of help?" Mengmeng tilted her little head and asked.

Kunpeng had witnessed Mengmeng's abilities and knew that she had a special ability to create mysterious barriers that could shield the secrets of heaven.

"We plan to go to the Sun Star tomorrow to find something, but we're worried about making a scene. We'd like to ask for your help," Kunpeng said hurriedly.

"Okay, I know, no problem." The little guy waved his hand generously.

Kunpeng was overjoyed and gave Bai Ze and the others a thumbs up.

Inside Puxian's shop, everyone was shocked to hear that Mengmeng was going to the Sun Star with Bai Ze and the others.

"Mengmeng, is this dangerous?" Princess Longji asked with a worried expression. As a princess of the Heavenly Court, she naturally knew how dangerous the Sun Star was; it was a place that even a Great Luo Immortal dared not set foot in.

"Hmm, nothing will happen," the little guy said.

"Alright, let Mengmeng go if she wants to," said Jianglong, who knew Mengmeng's abilities well.

Saitama naturally wouldn't object; right now, he only wanted to become stronger as quickly as possible and return to the level of being able to destroy a planet with a single punch.

Only Master Puxian remained silent. After spending several days with him, he had noticed that everyone, including Jianglong, seemed to respect the child. He had asked Jianglong about it, but Jianglong just smiled and said that the time was not yet right.

On the appointed day, Mengmeng skipped away from the shop alone with her little bag on her back, clearly not taking Taiyangxing seriously at all, and still holding the candied hawthorn that Longji had bought for her.

The little guy entered the Heavenly Demon Palace as if no one was there, where Lu Ya, Bai Ze, and the others had been waiting for a long time.

"I'm here!" Mengmeng ran happily towards the group.

Bai Ze shook his head helplessly, wondering to himself if the defenses in his palace were really that weak. How could this child have gotten in so easily?

"Your Highness, let's go." Bai Ze nodded to Lu Ya.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up," Mengmeng urged.

The Sun Star was born at the beginning of creation, and people often mistakenly believe it to be one of the Golden Crows. In fact, this is wrong. Even Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun were born here. How could they be Golden Crows? The Golden Crows are just incarnations of the sun, a low-level form. Their size and burning temperature are incomparable to the Sun Star.

The Sun Star is located in the chaotic void, burning with the true fire of the sun at all times; it is an enormous fireball.

For cultivators, this place is forbidden. Even those below the Quasi-Saint level cannot bear to be near the Sun Star for a short distance. The scorching heat can turn a person into ashes. Even Saints are reluctant to approach this place because the Sun Star contains flames that transcend the laws of nature and can burn everything. This is fatal for cultivators with a primordial spirit. Most importantly, the Sun Star is independent of the Primordial World and is not bound by the Primordial Heavenly Dao. This is one of the reasons why no one has focused their attention on the Sun Star for many years.

"It's so hot, so hot."

Looking at the enormous fireball in the distance, Kunpeng felt as if his whole body was about to burst into flames.

Bai Ze and Jiu Ying were the same; sweat was already streaming down their faces as they looked at the Sun Star, where the Demon Emperor had once been born. Their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

"Father..."

Lu Ya was completely unaffected by the temperature of the Sun Star. He stared blankly ahead, recalling the scene when he and his ten brothers were born on the Fusang tree inside. Now, everything had changed. His brothers were all dead, his parents were all dead, and he was the only one left to live alone in the world.

Aside from Lu Ya, Mengmeng was completely unaffected. The little guy blinked its big eyes and looked at the fireball curiously, even licking its lips. If Li Daoyi were here, he would understand that Mengmeng was just craving something sweet.

"Your Highness, it's up to you now," Bai Ze said, cupping his hands in greeting. Even if they went in, their combined strength wouldn't allow them to stay long; it was better for them to remain outside and protect him.

"Miss Mengmeng, if there's anything unusual inside, I'll have to trouble you," Kunpeng said.

The appearance of the Eastern Emperor Bell will inevitably cause anomalies, and Mengmeng's barrier will serve to isolate them.

"Gentlemen, I'm off," Lu Ya said in a deep voice.

After saying that, he flew towards the Sun Star. Then, his body emitted a golden light, and his size began to grow slowly. A gigantic three-legged golden crow appeared, which was Lu Ya's true form.

The three-legged golden crow, covered in flames, flew towards the Sun Star like a miniature sun.

"Wow..." Mengmeng's eyes lit up immediately.

"I want to go too."

After saying that, she flashed and instantly appeared on the head of the three-legged golden crow.

"Mengmeng..." The group was startled and then looked at each other in surprise.

"Hmm?" Lu Ya also sensed the strangeness on his head.

"Hehehe...fly quickly." Mengmeng ignored the Samadhi True Fire that Lu Ya possessed and patted him, saying.

Lu Ya suppressed his shock and had no choice but to continue flying forward. Before long, he entered the interior of the Sun Star. What he saw was a desolate place, with flames raging everywhere. Lu Ya looked around, searching for the Fusang Divine Tree. Soon, he saw the divine tree growing on the Sun Star.

Lu Ya dragged Mengmeng towards the Fusang Tree, becoming more and more excited as they got closer. It was the place where he was born, and it carried the scent of his parents.

The Fusang Divine Tree was enormous, and Lu Ya gently landed on it.

"Heave-ho." Mengmeng jumped off Lu Ya's head and curiously squatted down to touch the divine tree.

The surrounding area was a fiery red, but the Fusang Divine Tree seemed unaffected; it was quite magical that one could not feel the scorching heat on it.

Lu Ya turned around and transformed back into human form. He then sat down, released the energy within his body, and began to sense his surroundings.

Mengmeng looked at Lu Ya curiously, but she was well-behaved and didn't disturb him. Instead, she took out some snacks and started eating them by herself.

Lu Ya's divine sense spread out in all directions, but after a long time he still found nothing.

"Could it be that Bai Ze guessed wrong?" Lu Ya thought with some disappointment.

"What are you looking for?" Mengmeng asked curiously.

Lu Ya looked at the amazing little guy and laughed.

“I’m looking for something my father left behind, a bell,” Lu Ya said.

"I'll help you." Mengmeng stood up, and before Lu Ya could speak, she jumped down from the tree and landed on the burning ground of the Sun Star, sniffing around with her little nose.

"There's something hidden down there." Suddenly, Mengmeng stopped and pointed to the roots of the Fusang Divine Tree.

"What?" Lu Ya looked incredulous, then flew down and placed his hand on the ground where Mengmeng pointed.

Then his eyes lit up, and he looked up at Mengmeng in disbelief.

"Hehe...aren't I amazing?" the cute, proud, and tomboyish girl said, tilting her head back.

Lu Ya nodded, then forced out a drop of essence blood from his body. The essence blood slowly sank into the ground, and the Fusang Divine Tree suddenly began to shake, followed by the ground around it.

A powerful aura emanated from the ground beneath the tree, and Lu Ya's eyes instantly reddened. He was all too familiar with this aura; it was the aura of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ya was about to force out his own essence and blood to summon the Eastern Emperor Bell.

"If I were you, I would never do that."

Just then, a voice rang out, and Lu Ya was greatly startled. He looked up and saw a young Taoist priest appear in mid-air, whose appearance was completely unfamiliar.

"elder brother."

With a cheer, Mengmeng pounced on Lu Ya, who was shocked. The person who came was none other than Li Daoyi.
