#133 - Trapped in a fantasy
Jun Wuxie sped southward, intending to find a secluded place to heal.
After traveling over a hundred li, he saw the light of blazing suns flashing at the end of the earth.
"Blazing Sun Flower?"
He paused, pondered for a moment, and immediately headed toward the area where the light of the blazing suns flashed.
Although he was currently injured and the Yuan Shi Soldier Dissolution had not been lifted, still dissolving flesh and blood, burning life essence.
However, he could not resist the temptation of the Blazing Sun Flower.
This kind of heaven and earth treasure was really too rare, and one would probably hardly encounter it in a lifetime unless they possessed great fortune.
It was a holy medicine!
In the past, he only knew that the Saint-level was above the Spirit-level nine stars, and he had never really come into contact with this grade of heaven and earth treasure.
But now, he had come into contact with it.
The blazing sun energy that it naturally released was so terrifying, so how pure would the energy contained within it be?
If he missed this opportunity, it might be difficult to find the Blazing Sun Flower's踪迹 again.
He was even thinking whether this grade of blazing sun energy could completely dispel the cold poison in Yue Yao's body.
Perhaps that physician Su Lan contacted also needed high-grade heaven and earth treasures to assist with treatment!
If that was the case, both Yue Yao and Qin Keqing would need it!
Jun Wuxie's speed was very fast, and in a short quarter of an hour, he arrived at that area.
This was a mountain range, not very high, but undulating.
No vegetation could be seen on the mountain range, no grass or trees, only cold rocks and dry, hard soil, appearing somewhat oppressive under the dim, blood-colored world.
"It really is the aura left behind by the Blazing Sun Flower!"
At the entrance of the mountain range, he saw traces of scorched mountain rocks, and there was still some lingering spiritual energy similar to fire elements in the air.
After entering the mountain range, he went deep along the narrow mountain path.
Before long, he came to a basin surrounded by mountains on all sides.
The light here was no longer so dim.
On the summit of a small mountain on the opposite side of the basin, the Blazing Sun Flower was rooted there like a setting sun hanging on the hilltop.
Jun Wuxie suddenly stopped.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
There was no visual barrier between him and the Blazing Sun Flower. Since it was rooted on the high ground, it should have seen him coming at a glance.
However, the Blazing Sun Flower did not have any intention of fleeing far away, and was even twisting its roots on the mountain top, its flower swaying brilliantly.
Jun Wuxie's face darkened. This fellow was provoking him again!
He carefully observed the environment here, his heart full of vigilance.
The Blazing Sun Flower could open the spatial domain gate and escape to this special space, indicating that it should be very familiar with this place.
In that case, how could it be so careless as to leave traces and aura?
Earlier, he only thought about chasing the Blazing Sun Flower, but ignored this key point.
Now that he thought about it, it was very wrong!
"Boy, wanting to catch me, you must be sleepwalking!" The Blazing Sun Flower's voice was childish, with a contemptuous tone. It seemed to be in a very comfortable mood, swaying somewhat excitedly, and said, "Once you come here, don't even think about getting out, hahaha!"
"What kind of place is this?"
Jun Wuxie knew that he might have really fallen for its trick, but he still remained calm, observing his surroundings.
This place looked very ordinary, seemingly just a barren basin, the ground's soil dried up and full of cracks.
"This is a good place, not very dangerous, but enough to trap you to death here," the Blazing Sun Flower sneered, saying, "I have lived in this secret realm for ten thousand years, and I am so familiar with every inch of this place that I couldn't be more familiar. Did you think I would be so easily discovered by you people?"
"Is that so? Are you implying that you have masochistic tendencies, deliberately coming out to be shaken and have your flower seeds scattered all over the ground by me?"
Jun Wuxie retorted sarcastically.
"Bullshit, you're the one with masochistic tendencies!" The Blazing Sun Flower immediately bristled, its roots standing upright in anger, and said resentfully, "I was originally out for a stroll, but I didn't expect you humans to come to this secret realm, and you happened to bump into me. So, I wanted to play with you. As a result, I capsized in the gutter and met a unscrupulous fellow like you who doesn't follow the usual path!"
Seeing its bristling appearance, Jun Wuxie teased, "What a pity, I shook too little back then, otherwise, when I have nothing to do in the future, I could brew a pot of tea and crack some sunflower seeds, which would be quite pleasant."
"I'll let you be smug! Just prepare to be trapped to death here! I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to go clean up those few guys!"
After the Blazing Sun Flower finished speaking, it crossed the sky like a blazing sun, pulling up a trail of golden-red, brilliant light.
"What exactly is strange about this place that makes that fellow so confident?"
Seeing it go away, Jun Wuxie cautiously retreated from the basin.
As a result, when he reached the exit of the basin, the void in front of him suddenly twisted.
All at once, he was bounced back.
Before he could stabilize his body, the scenery in his eyes underwent earth-shaking changes.
As far as the eye could see, all the space was twisting.
During the process of spatial distortion, the mountains surrounding the basin quickly disappeared, turning into a sea of flowers.
He looked down at the ground.
The dry, cracked soil under his feet had become lush with green grass, and the blood-colored world had become a paradise with singing birds and fragrant flowers!
All around was a sea of flowers, with a lake in the middle, the clear and limpid blue water of the lake like a sapphire inlaid on the earth.
"What exactly is this place?"
Jun Wuxie was somewhat astonished. Was this an illusion constructed by a magic circle, or was the red land he saw before the illusion?
He couldn't tell now.
Everything here looked so real, the fragrance of the flowers was pleasant.
A gentle breeze blew, the surface of the lake shimmering, and the air was mixed with a hint of freshness.
He came to the lake, where there was a bluestone with several lines of ancient characters engraved on it.
Fallen Love Lake!
These three characters were very large, and next to them was a line of smaller characters: Fallen Love Lake, Burning Love Flowers, Forever Fallen in the Sea of Love.
"What does this mean?"
Jun Wuxie looked at it. The lake in front of him was actually called Fallen Love Lake, and the flowers in those seas of flowers were called Burning Love Flowers?
Why were the names so strange?
Just as he was puzzled, he felt that there seemed to be some kind of unusual change in his body.
Desire was stirring in his body, and the enchanting face of Ji Yinlan involuntarily appeared in his mind, as well as the peerless face of the woman he saw in the ancient well.
Gradually, their faces became blurred, and vaguely, they turned into the appearances of Qin Keqing, Su Lan, and the purple-clothed woman...
"What's going on?"
Jun Wuxie was startled, suddenly awakened, and quickly suppressed the fire of agitation in his body.
And forcibly prevented himself from thinking wildly.
What was the situation? He actually thought of Qin Keqing, Su Lan, and the purple-clothed woman?
Strands of floral fragrance mixed with the clear air of the lake continuously drilled into his body with his breathing.
He felt that the lascivious thoughts in his heart were becoming more and more difficult to control, like a tide about to drown him, and the heat in his body was making his blood boil!
"Fallen Love Lake and Burning Love Flowers are both problematic!"
Jun Wuxie finally understood the problem, he quickly held his breath and ran towards the end of this strange space.
That damned Blazing Sun Flower actually led him to this kind of place!
Was it trying to make him die by splitting his body?
Now he had to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable if it took too long.
He didn't want his bloodline to explode and die with blood flowing from his seven orifices, that would be too miserable.
However, he searched all the places and found no exit, nor did he find where the core array eye of the magic circle was.
For a full hour, he didn't want to toss around anymore.
It was really too uncomfortable to hold his breath all the time, he had reached his limit.
"Now what to do?"
He couldn't think of a solution in a short time.
Not only was there the heat in his body and the desire in his heart, but also the trauma brought to his flesh by the Yuan Shi Soldier Dissolution!
Now, he had to stop the Yuan Shi Soldier Dissolution!
Although the consumption of the Yuan Shi Soldier Dissolution was relatively small when not in a combat state, it still wouldn't work in the long run.
He thought about it and chose to sit down in a place far away from the lake and where there were fewer Burning Love Flowers, directly entering the Eternal Life Divine Palace.
With his soul in the Divine Palace, at least before going out, he would not be affected by the Fallen Love Lake and Burning Love Flowers.
He felt that his method was no different from an ostrich.
He was escaping, but currently there was really no other way besides this.
He stopped the Yuan Shi Soldier Dissolution, guided his flesh to refine the Spring of Life, repaired the damage in his body, and restored the dissolved flesh and blood and life essence.
Just as he was restoring his flesh, the Blazing Sun Flower appeared again in that basin.
It was still rooted on the summit of that small mountain.
A purple figure ran in from outside the mountain range.
