Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

After comprehending the laws of the sun, Hongyun decisively concealed himself and did not venture further into the inner circle.

The Land of Polar Days is not a place that a Golden Immortal can come and go as he pleases; he can only dominate the outer perimeter.

The outer perimeter of the Polar Day Land is the territory of Golden Immortals and below, the inner perimeter is the territory of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, and the core is the territory of Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals.

That's right, there are Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Land of Polar Day, and the four races of Great Sun Moth, Flame Crow, Nine-Headed Golden Serpent, and Flame Griffin all have Great Luo Golden Immortal level ancestors.

All other races are servants of the four races, and the hierarchy in the entire Land of Polar Day is very strict.

Although the four races of Great Sun Moth, Flame Crow, Nine-Headed Golden Serpent, and Flame Griffin are oppressed by the three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin, it does not mean that the four races have not oppressed other races.

The ancient world was a rigid pyramid, governed by the cruel law of the jungle, where each level exploited the level below, and vice versa.

Therefore, after achieving his goal, Hongyun kept a low profile, quietly collecting resources in the Polar Day Land while avoiding the inner perimeter and core area.

In the vast wilderness, years are forgotten; in the blink of an eye, the ocean has become a vast expanse.

A thousand years have passed since the Red Cloud entered the Land of Polar Day. The Red Cloud has finally bypassed the inner perimeter and core area and is about to cross the vast Land of Polar Day.

Along the path of the red clouds, in the southeastern region of the Land of Polar Day, at the boundary between the inner and outer perimeters of the Land of Polar Day, lies a wide lake.

This lake is called Yanyang Lake, a place known as the Sunbathing Land by creatures of the polar day. It spans hundreds of millions of kilometers, and mortals could not even walk around it in ten lifetimes.

Yanyang Lake is no ordinary place in the land of polar day. It is rich in natural resources, including the divine water of sunlight, and is a strategic location coveted by all. Whether it is the Great Sun Moth Clan, or the Flame Raven, Nine-Headed Golden Serpent, or Flame Griffin Clan, they all want to occupy Yanyang Lake.

Some people may not know the name "Sunlight Divine Water," but most are familiar with the famous "Three Lights Divine Water."

In the novel *Investiture of the Gods*, the Three Lights Divine Water is the divine water possessed by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. It comes in three forms: golden sunlight divine water, silver moonlight divine water, and purple starlight divine water, and is stored in an eight-treasure glass bottle.

When used alone, Sunlight Divine Water can wear down blood essence, bones and flesh; Moonlight Divine Water can corrode the primordial spirit and soul; and Starlight Divine Water can dissolve true spirit consciousness.

When these three are combined, they become a holy medicine that can cure all poisons, heal injuries and diseases, and even revive the dead.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable sprinkled the Three Lights Divine Water on the waters of the North Sea. Even after the Golden-Winged Roc flapped its wings more than eighty times, it still could not dry the water.

The Three Lights Divine Water successfully blocked the Winged Immortal's attack on Xiqi, becoming a core element of the city's protective barrier.

Furthermore, in "Journey to the West," the divine water used by Guanyin Bodhisattva to heal Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree was the Three Lights Divine Water, which shows how precious this divine water was.

Although Sunlight Divine Water is not as good as Three Lights Divine Water, it is still the world's top divine water.

Sunlight Divine Water can be used for alchemy and weapon crafting. For example, the Great Sun Divine Pill can refine blood essence, bones, and flesh. It can also be used to refine magical treasures, enhancing the Sunlight Divine Water's ability to diminish blood essence, bones, and flesh, specifically countering body cultivators.

For races such as the Great Sun Moth, the Flame Raven, the Nine-Headed Golden Serpent, and the Flame Griffin, the Sunlight Divine Water is a strategic resource and an important resource offered to the three races.

However, because the Sunlight Divine Water was so important, all four races of the Polar Day Land wanted to occupy this place and monopolize the production of the Sunlight Divine Water. In the end, none of them managed to take it over, and it eventually became a no-man's-land in the Polar Day Land.

Gradually, this place became a paradise for independent cultivators, and cities sprang up on the island in the middle of the lake, spontaneously forming a fragile chaotic order.

As a result, Yanyang Lake is a melting pot of all sorts of people. There are countless outsiders like Hongyun here, including many powerful figures such as Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals.

In the desolate northwest, in the land of polar day, lies Yan Yang Lake, a vast lake as large as the sea.

The lake, shimmering with light, shrouded in mist, bathed in the glow of the sun and moon, teems with life.

On this day, Hongyun arrived at Yanyang Lake, captured a local, and learned about the situation at Yanyang Lake.

Scattered across Yanyang Lake are cities of varying sizes, each with at least one Golden Immortal-level expert. Only Golden Immortals can establish a firm foothold in these cities.

This situation is caused by the special environment of Yanyang Lake. Every moment, a kind of aquatic beast is being conceived in Yanyang Lake, which is full of endless vitality.

This aquatic beast is different from ordinary creatures; its body is composed of the vibrant waters of the Blazing Sun Lake.

In addition, the water beasts are of low intelligence, hostile to all outsiders, fearless of death, and frequently attack the city.

The strongest water beast is a Xuanxian, but occasionally a Jinxian or higher water beast may appear. Therefore, only with a Jinxian-level expert in charge can the city be stable.

The attack of the water beasts on the city is not all bad; the water beasts are both a crisis and an opportunity.

Defeating water beasts has a chance to drop a special gem (Flaming Sun Stone), which contains the power of the blazing sun. It can be directly refined and absorbed, and can also be used for alchemy and weapon crafting.

Yan Yang Stone is a natural elixir for body refinement.

In addition, in the Blazing Lake and even in the Land of Polar Day, Blazing Sun Stones are a real hard currency, and the creatures of the Land of Polar Day have a great demand for Blazing Sun Stones.

Using the Sunstone as a cultivation resource can greatly increase the cultivation speed of creatures in the land of polar day.

"Sunlight Divine Water, Water Beasts, Blazing Sun Stones—this Blazing Sun Lake sounds intriguing!"

Hongyun muttered to himself, identified the direction, and then flew towards the nearest city.

To the northwest of Yanyang Lake, there is a city sitting on the water, a magnificent city as tall as a mountain, like a primordial beast.

When Hongyun arrived at this place, he saw streaks of light appearing from all directions, all of them cultivators heading towards the giant city.

Upon approaching, Hongyun, even from tens of thousands of miles away, could see several innate Dao characters floating above the giant city. Tianbao City was the name of this giant city.

"Is this the Tianbao City that the indigenous people talk about?"

Hongyun's eyes flickered as he thought about the information he had learned from the locals: Tianbao City was mainly inhabited by independent cultivators and was a friendly city for independent cultivators in Yanyang Lake.

The Yanyang Lake area is a mixed bag; some cities are hostile to independent cultivators, while others welcome them. If you go to a place that is hostile to independent cultivators, you're sure to encounter a lot of trouble.

The red cloud flew rapidly towards Tianbao City. As it approached the city, a sudden, heavy pressure appeared, forcing the red cloud to fall to the ground.

"Anti-flight formation? Interesting!"

Hongyun was surprised to find that Tianbao City had set up an anti-flight formation. He looked around and saw that all the cultivators who had come to Tianbao City were flying towards the ground.

Seeing this, Hongyun followed local customs. Although he could break free of the anti-air formation, he did not do so.

The prohibition of air movement is a rule of Tianbao City. His breaking free from the air-prohibition formation is undoubtedly a provocation against the Golden Immortals of Tianbao City.

Hongyun prides himself on being a scholar who values ​​harmony, and that creating trouble out of nothing is not something a scholar should do.

The person killed by Hongyun: Do you think we believe you?

Hongyun: Although I have committed murder and arson, I cultivate the Way of Literature, so I am a scholar. Who dares to object?

The person killed by Hongyun: Ah, yes, yes, yes.

"Entering the city without a license plate? You'll get a piece of Blazing Sun Stone!"

Hongyun was about to enter when he was stopped at the city gate. A gatekeeper reached out and asked him for an entrance fee.
