Seeing the bafflement on Qingfeng Li's face, Ya Yan knew he didn't know anything about the Death Mountains.

Cautiously, Ya Yun looked around. When she saw that no one was paying attention to them, she explained in a whisper, "Qingfeng Li, I'll tell you the extraordinary background of the Death Mountains. Five thousand years ago, they were actually known as the Sun Mountains instead of the Death Mountains and it was the territory of the Sun Monarch."

Sun Monarch?

At the mention of this name, Qingfeng Li became even more puzzled because he didn't know who the Sun Monarch was. Having been in the Crimson Fire Continent for only a few months, he had no knowledge about the history of the land.

There were still many places in the Crimson Fire Continent that Qingfeng Li had never been to, but the name of the Sun Monarch sounded powerful.

With a sigh, Ya Yun said, "Qingfeng Li, I wonder if you came from some remote mountain village. You have great power and combat ability, and great intelligence, too, but you actually have never heard of the Sun Monarch."

Qingfeng Li rolled his eyes, saying, "I came from a small place and naturally have never heard about the Sun Monarch. Now hurry up and tell me his story."

Extending a slim finger, Ya Yun tapped her forehead and explained, "The Sun Monarch was the emperor of the Crimson Fire Continent five thousand years ago.

He had governed the Crimson Fire Continent for tens of thousands of years, until he was killed by the Crimson Fire Emperor five thousand years ago. He died at the Sun Mountains which had thus become the Death Mountains."

Qingfeng Li was astonished. He had not expected that the Sun Monarch had been the dominator of this planet. No wonder there had been so many spirit monarch realm elixirs and spiritual treasures.

With a frown, Qingfeng Li asked, "Ya Yun, since the Death Mountains once belonged to the Sun Monarch, why hasn't the Crimson Fire Emperor taken all those spirit monarch realm elixirs, spiritual treasures, and cultivation techniques from here?"

Ya Yun shook her head and whispered, "It's not so easy. As the dominator of the planet, the Sun Monarch was very powerful. Although he was killed by the Crimson Fire Emperor, his soul didn't die but formed a mystic realm which opens every 1,000 years, allowing all the absolute geniuses to go in to search for treasures."

Joy appeared in Qingfeng Li's eyes. He said, "You just said all the major forces of the whole Continent, including major sects and geniuses of every country, right? Do you think the leader and the disciples of the Dark Ice Sect will come, too?"

Ya Yun nodded, saying, "Of course they will come. This is a gala in which all the major forces, sects, and kingdoms will participate in. They will come for the spirit monarch realm elixirs and cultivation techniques which will help them break through into the spirit monarch realm."

Hearing Ya Yun's explanation, exhilaration appeared in Qingfeng Li's eyes. He had planned to look for Xue Lin in the Dark Ice Sect in the north of the Crimson Fire Continent.

But it would take him one year to get there. Now it seemed like he didn't have to go there after all. He needed only to travel to the Sun Mystic Realm and they will get a chance to reunite with each other when the leader of Dark Ice Sect brings Xue Lin there.

Qingfeng Li looked at Ya Yun and asked, "How can one enter the Sun Mystic Realm? Are there any requirements?"

Ya Yun said, "Every emperor, major force, and sect can recommend three to five hundred people. The more powerful the force is, the more people it can bring into the Sun Mystic Realm."

Qingfeng Li nodded to show his understanding. Since he lived in the Country of Lingyun and had a good relationship with the emperor, he decided to go to the emperor to ask for a recommendation.

Qingfeng Li parted with Ya Yun and returned to the royal palace of Lingyun with Mengyao Xu.

Meanwhile, the Emperor of Lingyun was waiting for Qingfeng Li. Knowing Qingfeng Li would leave today, he had prepared many things for his farewell.

He didn't want Qingfeng Li to leave but it was not his choice to make.

He was waiting for Qingfeng Li when suddenly the sky went through a strange transformation. He ran out and was stunned at the sight of the seven-colored light in the sky.

As the emperor of Country of Lingyun, he was familiar with the more obscure ancient history of the land. He knew that the light came from the Sun Mystic Realm, which was located in the Death Mountains.

When Qingfeng Li and Mengyao Xu returned to the Royal Palace, they found the emperor was in a daze as if he had seen something incredible.

Qingfeng Li walked over and asked, "Emperor, what are you thinking about?"

The emperor said, "Qingfeng, did you see the seven-colored light in the sky? It came from the Sun Mystic Realm which opens once every 1,000 years. All the kingdoms, major forces, and sects all over the Crimson Fire Continent can go in and search for treasures."

With a slight smile, Qingfeng Li said, "Ya Yun told me everything about it. But to enter the Sun Mystic Realm, we need a recommendation. I'm here to ask you to recommend some of us."

Hearing Qingfeng Li's request, excitement appeared in the eyes of the Emperor of Lingyun. He had thought Qingfeng Li would leave the country very soon and was thus excited that Qingfeng Li would again fight with him.

More than anyone else, the emperor of Lingyun knew about the great power of Qingfeng Li. With his help, the emperor would have a chance of getting some spiritual treasures and spirit herbs from the Sun Mystic Realm.

The Emperor of Lingyun said, "I can only recommend three people."

With a slight frown, Qingfeng Li asked, "Yun Ya told me there would be three to 500 vacancies for recommendation. Why can you only recommend three, which is the lowest of the range?"

With a bitter smile, the Emperor of Lingyun explained, "Among the thousands of kingdoms in the Crimson Fire Continent, Country of Lingyun is the weakest, so I can only recommend three people."

Seeing the puzzlement on Qingfeng Li's face, the Emperor said, "The kingdoms here are categorized into low-tier kingdoms, intermediate kingdoms, high-tier kingdoms and super kingdoms. The low-tier kingdoms are those with no spirit monarch realm masters. Since there are no spirit monarch realm masters in the Country of Lingyun, we are a low-tier kingdom and I can only recommend three people."

Qingfeng Li nodded with sudden understanding. By now, he had a clearer view of the major forces in the whole Continent.

He had thought himself powerful since he was unrivalled in the Country of Lingyun, but now he knew he had been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well.

Since there was no spirit monarch realm master in the whole kingdom, the Country of Lingyun was in the weakest tier of kingdoms of the Crimson Fire Continent, while higher tier kingdoms had spirit monarch realm masters.

Qingfeng Li asked, "Emperor, you can recommend three people. Who do you plan to recommend?"

The Emperor of Lingyun said, "You, Mengyao Xu and me. The three of us."
