He looked deeply toward the direction where Zhu Chen had vanished, then turned to Little Red and asked in a low voice
"You came out of the ancestral land this time....does that mean something big is about to happen in the Desolate Region?"
"Yes."
Little Red's expression suddenly grew solemn.
It turned its gaze toward the direction of the Stone Kingdom and said
"The vast mountain range of the Desolate Region has recently erupted with raging flames.
Bird cries pierce the heavens—this is a sign that a rare treasure is about to emerge."
"I plan to go take a look. If I can seize that treasure, it might be of great help to Zhu Chen's future cultivation."
The Fire Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Do you need my help?"
Little Red shook its head.
"No. Zhu Chen needs someone guarding him while he cultivates. You stay here and protect him."
"It's just a single rare treasure. With my abilities, I'll get it quickly."
After speaking, it flapped its small wings and flew into the air.
"—Chirp!"
At the instant Little Red soared upward—
A clear, resounding phoenix cry rang out.
Its body suddenly expanded, transforming into a Vermilion Bird Divine Beast as massive as a mountain range, cloaked in blazing crimson feathers, majestic and awe-inspiring.
"A great calamity approaches, yet a rare treasure emerges…"
The Fire Emperor sighed as he watched Little Red depart.
"Who knows whether this will bring fortune or disaster…"
He then turned and returned to the Fire Emperor's Palace.
However, a strand of his divine consciousness remained behind.
If anything happened here, that single strand would allow him to arrive instantly.

Meanwhile—
Inside the Sacred Emperor's secret chamber within the Fire God Tree.
Zhu Chen had already begun cultivating.
He had his incarnation sit cross-legged in meditation, calming its mind and communicating with heaven and earth, absorbing spiritual essence from all things to temper its physical body.
As for himself, he casually chose a corner, sat down, and began comprehending the order and laws of this world.
In the Perfect World, if a cultivator wished to open a Cave Heaven, they had to create a world—either within or outside their body.
This was the Cave Heaven.
It could take the form of a passage, a pure land, or an actual world, used to connect with the boundless void and seize the fortune of heaven and earth.
The more Cave Heavens one possessed, the stronger their cultivation.
As Zhu Chen entered a deep state of comprehension, a golden Cave Heaven projection slowly condensed at the center of his brow.
The moment this Cave Heaven fully manifested...
The aura of Zhu Chen's cultivation underwent a qualitative transformation.
At that instant, Zhu Chen finally opened a Cave Heaven Divine Ring, successfully stepping into the Cave Heaven Realm!
But it didn't end there.
After the first Cave Heaven fully manifested—
A second golden divine ring projection slowly appeared between his brows.
"Open!"
Zhu Chen let out a loud roar.
The divine ring rapidly solidified, fully manifesting before him.
The second Cave Heaven had formed!
For most cultivators, opening two Cave Heavens at once would be cause for ecstatic celebration.
But Zhu Chen felt no joy at all.
Shi Hao had opened three Cave Heavens in one go.
And he had only opened two.
Didn't that mean he was inferior to Shi Hao?
"It seems there's no way around it—I still need the Primitive True Explanation."
Zhu Chen let out an unwilling sigh.
The Primitive True Explanation was a carrier of the Great Dao, containing profound insight into the essence of cultivation, heavenly laws, and ultimate principles.
Shi Hao had been able to open three Cave Heavens at once precisely because he cultivated it.
If Zhu Chen also obtained it, his cultivation speed would undoubtedly soar.
"—Bang!"
"—Bang!"
At this moment, the two Cave Heaven Divine Rings circling before him suddenly began to tremble violently.
It was as if an invisible force were pulling at them, trying to tear them away.
"What's happening?"
Zhu Chen's expression changed drastically.
He scanned his surroundings, then fixed his gaze on the Flesh Dao incarnation.
He could clearly sense that the two newly opened Cave Heavens had formed an inexplicable connection with that incarnation.
"Is this because of the Pangu Essence Blood?"
Zhu Chen's eyes flickered with realization.
That incarnation had been formed from the half-drop of Pangu's Essence Blood separated from his body.
And these two Cave Heavens had also been refined from his own body.
Naturally, the two were connected.
"If you want to establish a connection, then I'll let you."
With a cold snort, Zhu Chen decisively released control over the Cave Heavens, allowing them to fly freely toward the incarnation.
As expected, the moment the restraint disappeared, the two Cave Heavens fused into the incarnation without the slightest resistance.
But almost immediately, Zhu Chen sensed something was wrong.
"Strange… the Cave Heavens have merged into the incarnation—so why do I still feel connected to them? And…"
He formed hand seals, attempting to communicate with the Cave Heavens.
