Mo Wuji didn't check Hong Guang's ring. Based on the scorching aura, he quickly found a massive Mars.

Compared to the Mars on Earth, which is just a name, this Mars was the real deal. It was entirely covered in flames and was incredibly huge. Even with Mo Wuji's strength, he couldn't get close.

It seemed he killed Mi Hong Guang too early. According to Mi Hong Guang, even if he had refined Tianwu Star, he wouldn't be able to enter this terrifyingly fiery planet.

Even if he restored his cultivation, with the protection of the Azure Gown Heart, it would still be difficult for him to enter this planet. Unless he refined the Luo Book and had its protection, he could enter this planet and obtain the Fire Source Pearl.

Refining the Luo Book and restoring his cultivation weren't difficult for Mo Wuji. The problem was that the more he looked at this planet, the stranger it seemed. He even had a familiar feeling.

What fiery planet could he be familiar with? There was only one answer: the sun, a star.

He had lived on Earth for countless years, and Earth's ability to sustain life could be said to be half due to the sun.

Mo Wuji's heart sank. Could it be such a coincidence? It was already a coincidence that he fell into the Milky Way, and encountering the sun was an even greater coincidence. There were countless stars like the sun in the Milky Way, numbering in the billions.

If it really was the sun, then it was only three or four hundred million li away from Earth. This distance was an unreachable distance for ordinary people, but it was nothing for Mo Wuji's seventh-grade flying immortal artifact.

In other words, seeing the sun here meant that Mo Wuji could return to Earth at any time.

But Mo Wuji wasn't happy. It wasn't because it was the sun and he couldn't take the Fire Source Pearl. It was because if this was really the sun, then things would be bad.

If Hong Guang could discover this planet, then others could also discover it. He might not move this planet, but that didn't mean other cultivators wouldn't. Cultivators like Hong Guang could wipe out tens of billions of people on Tianwu Star. How could they not act just because the sun was Earth's life-giving planet?

Just as Mo Wuji was thinking about how to protect the sun, the shadow of a flying ship rapidly approached him. Mo Wuji waved his hand, and his long blade appeared in his grip.

His injuries had already disappeared with the help of the Vitality Meridian, and if he wasn't worried about the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth, his cultivation could be restored to the Mysterious Immortal Realm in the shortest amount of time.

Now that he had discovered a cultivator in the starry sky, Mo Wuji wasn't afraid at all. At worst, if he couldn't beat him, he could escape.

"This fellow Daoist, are you here for Morning Flame Star?" A slender man stood on the approaching flying ship, cupping his fists in greeting from afar.

Mo Wuji had experienced a lot in the Immortal World. As soon as this man approached, he sensed the other's strength. He should be a Golden Immortal cultivator. This cultivator's Yuan Power should have been completely transformed into Immortal Essence, so his strength was suppressed at the Late Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In terms of strength, this person was much stronger than Mi Hong Guang, who hadn't transformed his Immortal Essence. But in front of Mo Wuji, he was still not enough.

"Morning Flame Star?" Mo Wuji sheathed his long blade and looked at the man in confusion. Was this not the sun? He quickly realized that even if it was the sun, different people might call it by different names.

The man cupped his fists again and said sincerely, "That's right, this planet is called Morning Flame Star. The reason why hundreds of billions of people can survive on Qingyi Star, hundreds of millions of li away from here, is because of this Morning Flame Star. I also know that this Morning Flame Star has a Fire Source Pearl that shouldn't be there, but this pearl really can't be taken away. Once it's taken away, Morning Flame Star will gradually wither. Similarly, Qingyi Star will also fall into darkness, and eventually, life will die out."

"Qingyi Star?" Mo Wuji muttered to himself, then thought, could this really not be the sun?

Seeing that Mo Wuji didn't speak, the man said again, "I come from Qingyi Star. My name is Min Zhi, and I've been staying here for over two thousand years."

"Are you here to protect Morning Flame Star?" Mo Wuji asked in surprise.

Min Zhi nodded. "Yes, recently, someone has been eyeing Morning Flame Star. As a cultivator from Qingyi Star, I absolutely can't let anyone destroy Morning Flame Star."

"Is Qingyi Star a cultivation planet?" Mo Wuji asked in confusion.

Min Zhi shook his head. "No, Qingyi Star is just an ordinary mortal planet. The reason I can become a Golden Immortal is because I accidentally obtained a chance and embarked on the path of cultivation. Because Qingyi Star only has one cultivator, Morning Flame Star can only be protected by me."

Min Zhi's tone was sincere, filled with a sense of unwavering determination.

Mo Wuji was filled with admiration upon hearing this. Whether it was in the cultivation world or the immortal world, there were people like Min Zhi, but they were too few. Even Lin Gu risked her life to save her mother. This was completely different from dedicating oneself to a planet.

Moreover, this kind of dedication might not even be known by the people living on Qingyi Star. Their light was being guarded by someone.

At the same time, Mo Wuji estimated that he had made a mistake. This star, similar to the sun, wasn't the sun. However, the function of this star should be similar to that of the sun.

"Fellow Daoist Min Zhi, my name is Mo Wuji. I wonder if you could show me a star chart of this area? I seem to be lost here," Mo Wuji cupped his fists and said politely.

Seemingly unaware of Mo Wuji's surprise, Min Zhi took out a star sphere and handed it to Mo Wuji, saying, "Fellow Daoist Mo, this is something I made myself, it's a little rough."

Mo Wuji quickly thanked him and took the star orientation sphere. Seeing this orientation sphere, he quickly realized that he had really made a mistake. This wasn't the sun. There were thirty-six planets around Morning Flame Star, definitely not the solar system.

To Mo Wuji's delight, this star orientation sphere also had the orientation to leave this star system, indicating that Min Zhi had put in some effort in the surrounding areas over the years.

"Fellow Daoist Min Zhi, can I buy this orientation sphere from you? I'm missing such a star orientation sphere," Mo Wuji said somewhat embarrassedly.

He was lost in the starry sky. With this orientation sphere, he wouldn't wander around in this star system at least.

Min Zhi sensed that Mo Wuji wasn't the kind of person who coveted the Fire Source Pearl, and immediately said, "What's a mere star sphere? Fellow Daoist Mo, just take it."

Mo Wuji still took out a ring and handed it to Min Zhi, "Fellow Daoist Min, there are some cultivation resources inside, something I occasionally obtained. I'll give it to you."

Min Zhi always thought that Mo Wuji's cultivation wasn't as good as his, at most just a Earth Immortal. The reason he was polite to Mo Wuji was because he was always humble and not the arrogant type, not because he felt that he couldn't beat Mo Wuji. The cultivation resources that Mo Wuji gave him were basically useless to him. He didn't even look at them and pushed them back, "Fellow Daoist Mo, thank you, I really don't need them."

Mo Wuji saw through Min Zhi's thoughts. He smiled, "Maybe they'll be useful to you. Since we're friends, it's only right that I give you something after receiving something from you."

Simply as a friend, Mo Wuji wouldn't have left so many things for Min Zhi. He was touched by Min Zhi's spirit. For a moment, he even wanted to go to the side of the sun to see if anyone was guarding the sun. Unfortunately, his ability couldn't bring him back.

"Then, alright…" Min Zhi felt Mo Wuji's sincerity and simply accepted the ring. His divine sense also casually scanned the ring.

When he saw a pile of immortal crystals and numerous immortal pills, his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the jade bottle in his hand.

Then, he quickly handed the ring back to Mo Wuji, "Brother Mo, this is too precious, I can't accept it."

A thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He had been speaking in a peaceful tone earlier because he knew his strength was far greater than Mo Wuji's, enough to prevent Mo Wuji from acting against Morning Flame Star. But now that he saw what Mo Wuji had taken out, he knew he was wrong.

It wasn't that his strength was far greater than Mo Wuji's, but that Mo Wuji's strength was far greater than his.

The reason he was sweating wasn't because he was afraid that Mo Wuji would kill him, but because he was worried that Mo Wuji wanted to take away the Fire Source Pearl of Morning Flame Star by giving him these things.

Mo Wuji pushed the things back to Min Zhi again, "Fellow Daoist Min, we're friends. Consider these things as a token of my appreciation. Not to mention that Morning Flame Star is the life-giving planet of Qingyi Star and you're here guarding it, even if no one was guarding it, I, Mo Wuji, wouldn't touch such a life-giving planet."

Min Zhi took a deep breath. He bowed deeply to Mo Wuji, "Thank you, Brother Mo, for your generosity. I always thought my strength was enough to guard Morning Flame Star, but after Brother Mo's arrival today, I realized that my strength might still be far from enough."

Min Zhi had indeed thought so before. It was purely by chance that he was able to return to this place. Generally, those who came near here were cultivators from the cultivation world, and there were very few immortals from the immortal world.

As a Golden Immortal, he wasn't afraid of any cultivators from the cultivation world who came here. Moreover, the temperature of Morning Flame Star was too high, and ordinary cultivators couldn't even enter. He stayed here to stop those who wanted to destroy Morning Flame Star through some means.

Mo Wuji waved his hand, "It was also by chance that I came here. I'm not one to talk too much. Brother Min Zhi, your idea is good, but occasionally some powerful cultivators will come to this starry sky. Not to mention very strong cultivators, even if someone with a cultivation similar to mine comes here, you probably won't be able to defend it."

Min Zhi sighed, "I know, but the Fire Source Pearl of Morning Flame Star was born from heaven and earth and hasn't been around for long. You also know that once such a flame planet generates a Fire Source Pearl, it will be completely fused together. If no one coveted it, having a Fire Source Pearl on Morning Flame Star would be a great thing for Qingyi Star, but now I'm afraid that a good thing will turn into a bad thing."

Mo Wuji also sighed. He really couldn't help with this kind of thing. Moreover, he was sure that over time, Morning Flame Star would be destroyed and the Fire Source Pearl would be taken away. He had no choice but to say, "Min Zhi, I don't know how to advise you. In the future, if something unexpected happens, you can go to my small shop. I opened a pill shop called Heavenly Secrets in Spiked Horn Immortal Ruins... Eh, that's not right..."
