The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2951 The Divine Sun Clan

The Divine Sun Star hangs above the primordial immortal realm, a sacred place for fire-attribute cultivators.

Come on.

This Divine Sun Star bears some resemblance to the mythical battlefield.

In the Mythical Battlefield, there exists a Mythical Clan, which, though fallen, still exists.

On the other hand, on the planet Shenyang, there is the Shenyang Clan, who claim to be descendants of the Sun God and occupy the only road leading to Shenyang, Shenyang City.

In order to obtain fire-attribute power to enhance his Five Elements Great World, Zheng Tuo had no choice but to come to Shenyang City and head to Shenyang Star.

From a distance, Shenyang City resembles a smaller version of Shenyang Star, suspended in the sky like a satellite of Shenyang Star, constantly revolving around it.

Zheng Tuo's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the powerful figures in Shenyang City.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, what a rare guest!"

The newcomer was dressed in a long red robe, and he was all smiles, appearing to be very talkative.

This person is named Shenyang Tianfeng. He is the deputy city lord of Shenyang City and the person in charge of the entire city.

Shenyang City belongs to the Shenyang Clan, and all matters, large and small, are managed by Shenyang Tianfeng. As for why it is not managed by the city lord of Shenyang City, it is because everyone knows that the city lord of Shenyang City is elusive and no one knows where he is.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Shenyang Tianfeng."

Before coming here, Zheng Tuo had done some research on Shenyang City and knew its basic information.

“That’s right, I am Shenyang Tianfeng, the deputy city lord of Shenyang City. Fellow Daoist Shishen, please.”

Shenyang Tianfeng was not in his true form at this moment, but even though it was in his Dao body, Zheng Tuo could still sense that the other party's strength was not weak. His true form was probably at the second or even third level of the Breakthrough Realm.

The Divine Sun Clan is different from the Mythical Clan. The Divine Sun Clan is extremely powerful as a whole, and is a force even stronger than the Undying Mountain.

The two found a teahouse, sat down, and drank a cup of spiritual tea.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Godslayer has come here for some business?"

Shenyang Tianfeng knew Zheng Tuo for a simple reason: he watched the entire process from the city wall when Zheng Tuo was undergoing his tribulation.

Shenyang City floats high above the primordial immortal realm; one can overlook the primordial immortal realm simply by standing on the city wall.

Zheng Tuo caused quite a commotion when he underwent his tribulation that day, and he personally witnessed it, so he naturally recognized Zheng Tuo.

Yes.

The one who broke through the barrier came in his true form; there must be something he wants to do.

Zheng Tuo thought for a moment and then decided not to lie. "To be honest, I have just broken through and want to stabilize my realm. I came to Shenyang Star to seek out power of the same attribute for cultivation. I hope you will allow me to pass."

Zheng Tuo understood.

The Divine Sun Clan is several times stronger than the Mythical Clan.

It could even be said that the Shenyang Clan is a super top-tier force no less powerful than the Blade Sect, with countless experts among its members.

Since Shenyang City is the only road leading to Shenyang Star, he must speak politely to the other party.

If we become enemies with them, they probably won't let us go to Shenyang Star.

Given the immense power and resources of the Shenyang clan, there was absolutely no way for him to force his way through.

"I see."

Shenyang Tianfeng had already anticipated this.

He seemed to be deep in thought, and finally said, "I have heard that you have inherited the legacy of the Vermilion Bird God. May I ask if you can tell me if this is true or not?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo's heart stirred.

During his investigation of the Shenyang clan, he gleaned a unique piece of information: the Shenyang clan seemed to have a strained relationship with the Vermilion Bird God.

The two sides had fought before, with the Shenyang clan suffering a crushing defeat.

Now that Shenyang Tianfeng was asking him this question, he couldn't help but feel wary.

To know.

Now that I am in Shenyang City, if the other party makes a move, I will be in a completely disadvantageous position.

"I wonder what you mean by this question?"

Zheng Tuo did not respond directly, but instead asked the other party, wanting to know the reason.

"To be honest, my Shenyang clan once clashed with the Vermilion Bird God and was defeated by him."

Shenyang Tianfeng looked quite helpless as he said this.

The Vermilion Bird God is the representative of the primordial immortal realm. Although their Divine Sun Clan is also very strong, they are no match for the Vermilion Bird God.

Zheng Tuo remained silent, took a sip of spiritual tea, and continued listening to the other person speak.

"In fact, in the battle between my Shenyang clan and the Vermilion Bird God, the Vermilion Bird God held back and did not kill any of my clan's experts, but he did take away my clan's most treasured artifact, the Divine Fire Token."

"The Divine Fire Token?"

Zheng Tuo was horrified!

"Could it be the Divine Fire Token, which can control all the fires in the world?"

Zheng Tuo had obviously heard of the Divine Fire Token, a magical artifact.

According to legend, the Divine Fire Token is the Sun God's natal magic weapon and the most precious treasure of the Divine Sun Clan.

It possesses the ability to command all fires in the world, and can even control the flames of its opponents, making it arguably the strongest fire-attribute magic weapon.

I never expected that the Vermilion Bird God would actually take away the Divine Fire Token.

“I understand what Fellow Daoist Shenyang Tianfeng means. You think that since I inherited the legacy of the Vermilion Bird God, I must have also inherited the Divine Fire Token, and you want me to return the Divine Fire Token, right?”

"As you say, Fellow Daoist Godslayer is as righteous as rumored. I wonder if you would be willing to return the Divine Fire Token to my Shenyang Clan? I, Shenyang Tianfeng, hereby swear that as long as you return the Divine Fire Token to my Shenyang Clan, my Shenyang Clan will surely become your most steadfast ally."

Seeing that the two sides had already spoken openly, Shenyang Tianfeng also opened the window and spoke frankly.

The Divine Fire Token is extremely important to the Shenyang Clan. If it can be retrieved, the overall strength of the Shenyang Clan can be raised to another level.

after all.

The Divine Fire Token contains the legacy of the Sun God, and that is the most precious thing.

Seeing Shenyang Tianfeng's eager anticipation, Zheng Tuo could only tell the truth.

“Fellow Daoist Tianfeng, if I had the Divine Fire Token, I would naturally be willing to return it. After all, exchanging the Divine Fire Token for the Divine Sun Clan as an ally would be a very worthwhile deal for me. However, I do not have the Divine Fire Token.”

Zheng Tuo was also helpless.

When he first encountered the Vermilion Bird and received its inheritance, there was no mention of the Divine Fire Token.

"No?"

Shenyang Tianfeng seemed somewhat anxious.

"Fellow Daoist, you clearly inherited the Vermilion Bird's legacy, how could you not have the Divine Fire Token? Fellow Daoist who kills gods, please don't joke with me."

Seeing this, Zheng Tuo had no choice but to say, "I swear on the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Immortal Realm that I have never seen the Divine Fire Token. If I have the Divine Fire Token and do not return it, may heavenly lightning strike me to death right now."

Those who break through the barrier swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao with their true form, which is usually very convincing.

of course.

The one who breaks through the barrier is extraordinary, perhaps possessing the ability to evade heavenly tribulations, so the oath could not convince Shenyang Tianfeng. "Fellow Daoist Godslayer, I have treated you with courtesy since you set foot in Shenyang City, why do you deceive me like this?" Shenyang Tianfeng's tone became exceptionally unfriendly.

The Divine Fire Token is far too important to the Shenyang Clan. It can be said that the Divine Fire Token is the lifeblood of the Shenyang Clan. Now that news has finally come, even this usually composed deputy city lord has become unsteady.

On the contrary, Zheng Tuo remained as steady as a rock when facing Shenyang Tianfeng.

He sat calmly in the chair, took a sip of spiritual tea, and watched Shenyang Tianfeng with equanimity.

The atmosphere was extremely tense. Shenyang Tianfeng was on edge, ready to make a move at any moment.

In the midst of this tense atmosphere, Shenyang Tianfeng suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Godslayer, I was just joking. Please don't take offense."

"Friends, you have a refined taste."

Zheng Tuo understood that there was only one reason why the other party had changed their attitude so drastically: the Divine Fire Token was too important to them.

Otherwise, Shenyang Tianfeng would have attacked him directly.

It seems that the reason they dared not lay a hand on me was because they feared I would rather die than hand over the Divine Fire Token. If they lost this lead, the Divine Fire Token would likely be lost again and never be found.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, do you perhaps truly not possess the Divine Fire Token?"

“Fellow Daoist Shenyang Tianfeng, I think that as a powerful member of the Shenyang clan, you should have a way to sense the existence of the Divine Fire Token. You can try to see if I have the Divine Fire Token on me, or any aura of the Divine Fire Token.”

"No, from the moment you set foot in Shenyang City, I have not sensed any aura of the Divine Fire Token from you. So it seems that I have wronged you, fellow Daoist."

Shenyang Tianfeng clearly did not want to antagonize Zheng Tuo.

He witnessed Zheng Tuo's tribulation firsthand. Not only were there more than a dozen well-known and powerful figures protecting him, but also a fifth-level powerhouse like Bai Ze, a Breakthrough Realm expert, stepped in to protect him.

If I were to actually kill the god-slayer in Shenyang City, it would inevitably bring me immense trouble.

and so.

He could only change his strategy and befriend them, hoping that they would return the Divine Fire Token to the Shenyang Clan when they found it.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, to be honest, the Divine Fire Token is of utmost importance to my Shenyang Clan. If you find the Divine Fire Token, I hope you will return it. My Shenyang Clan is willing to pay any price to exchange it with you.”

Shenyang Tianfeng stood up and bowed to Zheng Tuo, whose serious demeanor prompted Zheng Tuo to rise and return the bow.

"Fellow Daoist Tianfeng, please rest assured. If I find out the whereabouts of the Divine Fire Token, I will inform you immediately. If I happen to obtain the Divine Fire Token, I will definitely return it to you."

In Zheng Tuo's eyes, the Divine Fire Token was just a powerful magic weapon; magic weapons were the least of his worries.

If we could truly find the Divine Fire Token and return it to the Divine Sun Clan, and use it to forge an alliance with the Mythical Clan, wouldn't that be even better?

The Shenyang Clan possesses extremely strong overall combat power, comparable to that of the Sword Sect.

If the Shenyang Clan could become my ally, it would be of great help to my future cultivation and the building of my power.

Yes.

If he finds the Divine Fire Token and doesn't hand it over to the Divine Sun Clan, he will be making an enemy of the Divine Sun Clan. In the future, this powerful force, comparable to the Sword Sect, will turn against him, which would truly be a loss.

After analyzing the pros and cons, he readily agreed.

"I have truly experienced the benevolence and righteousness of Fellow Daoist Shishen today. In the name of the Deputy City Lord of Shenyang City, I swear that in the future, whenever Fellow Daoist Shishen needs help, I will do my duty without hesitation, and my Shenyang clan will do the same."

Despite having their own interests at heart, both sides still had a pleasant conversation.

The Shenyang clan cultivates fire attributes, so they are usually carefree and easygoing.

Such a personality was very much to Zheng Tuo's liking, and the two hit it off immediately, feeling like they had known each other for a long time.

Finally, Zheng Tuo made his request.

He came to Shenyang Star to seek fire-attribute power.

In that case, we might as well ask Shenyang Tianfeng directly.

Given Shenyang Tianfeng's understanding of the Shenyang Star, he must know which place has the most concentrated and purest fire attribute.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Godslayer plans to build a temple on the Divine Sun Star to absorb power!"

Is it not allowed?

Zheng Tuo knew.

In a sense, the Divine Sun Star is the private property of the Divine Sun Clan.

"Of course, there are many temples built by powerful beings on Shenyang Star. After all, although my Shenyang clan controls the road to Shenyang Star, the entire Shenyang Star does not belong entirely to my Shenyang clan. It belongs to the entire Primordial Immortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo did not respond, but continued to wait for the other party to answer his question.

"If we were to say which place on the Divine Sun Star has the most concentrated fire element and which place is most suitable for building temples, it would naturally be the Flaming Mountain, which stretches for 80,000 li."

"The Flaming Mountains, stretching for eighty thousand li?"

For Zheng Tuo, 80,000 li was a distance he could reach in the blink of an eye. Could he really manage such a small place?
He was about to ask when he received a surprising answer.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, once you get to that place, you will naturally understand the reason.”

Faced with such words, Zheng Tuo could only nod in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, may I send someone to take you there?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Zheng Tuo understood that the other party wanted to monitor him, and he would not give them the opportunity.

After refusing Shenyang Tianfeng's help, he followed him to the entrance of the same Shenyang Star.

The so-called entrance was actually a road, a road made of flames.

There were many people walking along the road, and upon closer inspection, one could see people of all kinds of abilities.

Although Shenyang Star is one of the nine forbidden lands, it is also a treasure land, containing countless treasures that can be sought by explorers.

Zheng Tuo stepped onto the fiery road and disappeared in a few leaps.

Seeing Zheng Tuo disappear, Shenyang Tianfeng, who had been smiling, stopped smiling and became unusually serious.

“This Godslayer is cunning and has powerful backing; he might not be easy to manipulate!” An old man appeared beside Shenyang Tianfeng.

“It’s not just difficult to handle, I’ve heard that this person once fought with the Tree God. The two were evenly matched and neither could defeat the other.” A woman who looked very young spoke.

"Tree God?"

The Tree God is a powerful figure with extraordinary talent, and his reputation in the primordial immortal realm is not weak.

The key point is that the Tree God has the cultivation level of a second-level Breaker.

The fact that a first-level Breaker could fight a second-level Breaker to a standstill demonstrates just how terrifying Zheng Tuo's combat power is.

"After all, he is someone valued by Bai Ze, how could he be bad?" Shenyang Tianfeng had a high opinion of Zheng Tuo's strength.

"Does this mean we really have to rely on this god-slaying technique to help us find the Divine Fire Token?" The woman was worried about this.

"The Divine Fire Token can control all the fires in the world, and it can also control my Divine Sun Clan. If they find out, they will definitely not return it."

The old man's words were filled with murderous intent, and his intentions were very clear.

"It's not that simple. Unless he can inherit the legacy of the Sun God on the Divine Fire Token, how can he control my Divine Sun Clan?"

“That’s true. Only the Shenyang clan can cultivate the Sun God’s legacy. There’s no need to worry about him, an outsider,” the woman said confidently.

The three powerful members of the Divine Sun Clan secretly communicated, while Zheng Tuo had already descended upon the Divine Sun Star.
