"I'm too old for this. It's better for you kids to do things like setting fires. You play with fire during the day and wet the bed at night. Kids have no shame anyway. Me... is this how you set a fire? It's burning too slowly. You should have poured some oil on it!"
"Little guy, don't you know what 'adding oil to a fire' means?...Where's the oil? Little guy, what did you use to start the fire? Don't tell me you can't turn your spiritual energy into oil droplets...Right, right, this way, the Pathfinding Pearl's ability to change the world can eliminate all illusions..."
"...So this direction should be good..." the Queen Mother of the West murmured.
Following the instructions of the Queen Mother of the West, Wang Yao compressed his spiritual power into tiny water droplets and then sprinkled them onto the demonic plants that were burning fiercely in front of him.
With a loud "boom," as the spiritual oil droplets fell, the flames of the demonic plants in front of the two suddenly surged, becoming several times stronger than before. The flames made Wang Yao and the Queen Mother of the West's faces glow red.
"Hahaha, isn't that funny... You're such a lazy kid. You clearly have plenty of spiritual energy, why use so little? You didn't let me see the flying flowers. Do you know what flying flowers are? They're when a fire is burning at its hottest, it suddenly explodes..."
Wang Yao thought to himself, "It's clearly you old woman who loves playing with fire, yet you insist on having me set it on fire. Are you really afraid of wetting the bed at night?"
"...Alright, take two steps forward..." The Queen Mother of the West said, suddenly pushing Wang Yao forward.
Wang Yao was extremely skilled at using the Samadhi True Fire, but he had never tried to rush into a blazing fire before. After all, he was a mortal who had become an immortal, and his past fear of fire was still deeply rooted in his consciousness.
But unexpectedly, the old woman's sudden push caused him to stumble forward, and he heard the sound of plant branches cracking. He was suddenly engulfed in flames.
"I..." He was about to curse, "Isn't this old woman trying to harm the immortal?" But he immediately realized that the flames did not harm him at all. The fire snakes licked his body, only bringing him a warm feeling. It seemed that this was indeed the Samadhi True Fire released from his body, and it would not backfire at all.
"Fun, isn't it? As long as the enemy doesn't show up, we'll just... uh... turn right, yes, this way... What's the point of all this unorthodox stuff? I have the navigation bead here, do you think that'll be useful? It's just a waste of time..."
The old woman kept pointing out directions to Wang Yao as he moved around in the sea of fire. Wang Yao felt that the path beneath his feet was always solid, and he couldn't help but wonder to himself.
Logically speaking, the road leading to the Demon City was originally surrounded by jungle, and the jungle ground would be soft and rotten, which is very different from the hardness of the road after it has been leveled. Could it be that the ground in the jungle in front of the Demon City gate had been repaired?
"Be careful, what are you daydreaming about? Do you expect me to look after you when you walk alone at night?" Just as Wang Yao was thinking to himself, the old woman suddenly grabbed him by the back of the collar and pulled him back. Wang Yao saw a dazzling flash of light as a knife grazed past the tip of his nose.
The attack was so sudden that Wang Yao could feel a slight stinging sensation on the tip of his nose. Before he could even utter a word of "lucky," he felt a powerful force shove him forward from behind.
"Now that you've set the fire, it's time to fight. Be careful not to get hit by the enemy. The point of a fight is to beat up others, not to get beaten up..."
The old woman's cheerful voice rang out behind him. Just as Wang Yao was about to open his mouth to curse, he suddenly felt a tightness on his scalp. He quickly dodged, and a bright flash of a blade grazed his face again.
The blade flashed without a trace and disappeared without a trace, and Wang Yao felt every pore on his body stand on end instantly.
"Little guy, you've never seen a Shadowless Blade before, have you? Your knowledge is still too limited. There are quite a few invisible and shadowless attacks like this in the Six Realms, but they all have the same principle. Although it's strange, it always has a source. It's not truly invisible..."
In a short time, Wang Yao was attacked by several blades. Although he managed to dodge each attack at the last minute, it was extremely dangerous. To make matters worse, the Queen Mother of the West kept nagging, which made Wang Yao extremely irritable.
However, on the other hand, the old woman's chatter was quite effective. After dodging the blades several times, Wang Yao realized that although the location and angle of the blades were unpredictable, they were by no means without a trace. Before the blades appeared, there was always a murderous aura that made Wang Yao feel alarmed.
This is why Wang Yao was able to narrowly escape danger every time.
"My dear aunt, why don't you come and try this Shadowless Blade? Aren't you thirsty from all that babbling?" Wang Yao shouted angrily as he dodged.
"Oh dear, I lack all five elements except water. This little rascal is so naughty, my old bones can't withstand that kind of torment."
"You young people are really strong! The way you dodge the Shadowless Blade is almost like dancing. It has a bit of the charm of the lead dancer of my Yaochi Dance Troupe, Insect Girl. Look at how you bend over. Has the little guy received professional dance training?"
The Queen Mother of the West was not angry at all when she heard Wang Yao shouting. She just kept nagging and ordering him around. Wang Yao was forced to keep his mind at ease by the flashing blade, so he could only shut his mouth and let her talk. At the same time, he secretly took out his magic weapon, the Red Thread, and began to carefully study the Shadowless Blade.
The Queen Mother of the West was only four or five steps away from where Wang Yao was, so Wang Yao was certain that the area that the Shadowless Blade could cover was only within a radius of about three steps centered on him.
He dodged the blade several times, watching it gradually move from his upper body to his lower body, and a realization dawned on him.
