Chapter 261: Xun'er Extracts the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame!
"Father, this little one doesn't seem too happy with the name you gave it..." Xian Yue couldn't help but laugh as she watched the fiery infant jump around. "How about we change it?"
"Yeah, it seems upset. Maybe we should give it a new name!" Wu Shuang chimed in from the side.
"Unhappy? I think it's just excited now that it has a name... Isn't that right, Xiao Ying?" Gu Fei said as he grabbed the fire infant and playfully pinched its little cheeks.
"Ying ying!"
Faced with Gu Fei's 'threat', the fire infant had no choice but to submit, although it continued making its little "ying ying" sounds, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"Young Gu Fei, you truly are a person of great fortune. Fire spirits are exceedingly rare, mentioned only in a few historical records. Congratulations!" Venerable Tian Huo said, with envy in his tone.
"Sir Yao deserves some credit too. Without the Fallen Heart Flame, it's possible this fire spirit wouldn't have formed," Gu Fei replied with a smile. Despite Venerable Tian Huo's lower cultivation level, he remained polite.
His fire spirit was fused with six different types of flames: the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Three Thousand Burning Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Bone Chilling Flame, Sea Heart Flame, and Green Lotus Core Flame. It held immense power.
With just a single thought, this little being would immediately follow Gu Fei's command. In essence, the fire spirit served as a control interface, allowing Gu Fei to fully unleash the flames' potential.
With the fire spirit and his improved cultivation, he was now confident enough to attempt refining a ninth-grade mysterious pill.
"Brother Gu Fei is back?"
"He also refined the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and now possesses a fire spirit, which is one in a trillion..."
Deep within the Sacred Mountain Range, in a quiet hall, Xun'er- who had been placed under house arrest by her father- heard the news of Gu Fei's return. Her face lit up with joy.
For over a year, Xun'er had been worried about him, but Gu Yuan had ordered her to be confined, punishing her with a three-year restriction on leaving. During this time, Xun'er had done some soul-searching and deeply reflected on her actions.
She realized that on multiple occasions, she had disobeyed Gu Fei and recklessly endangered herself, becoming more of a burden than a help.
"When brother went on those treasure hunts, he didn't even take his wives along. Why did I ever think I was special...?"
A self-mocking smile appeared on Xun'er's lips.
"If brother needs different types of Heavenly Flames and can merge them, then it's time for me to give up the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame inside me. After all, he is the most outstanding member of our clan..."
Xun'er suddenly thought of the Heavenly Flame that resided in her body.
This flame had been with her for years. If it could merge with brother's flames and become part of his fire spirit, wouldn't that be like staying by his side herself?
Filled with hope, Xun'er began forming hand seals, and a layer of golden flame appeared around her body.
*Sigh...*
As Xun'er began extracting the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame from her body, a soft sigh echoed from a nearby space. The owner of the voice was Gu Yuan, leader of the Gu Clan and Xun'er's father.
"Well, Gu Fei is now our clan's hope, and he needs more Heavenly Flames... By Xun'er extracting the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, it also silences those who might accuse me of favoritism."
Gu Yuan sighed again but did not stop Xun'er from what she was doing.
"Gu Fei, are you going to find Cai Lin? Let me come with you, and I can also visit the clan on the way..."
On Gu Fei's mountain, Zi Yan smiled as she heard that he was heading to the Nine Serene Springs to find Cai Lin.
"Yes, you're familiar with that place."
Hearing this, he didn't refuse. As the Dragon Emperor of her tribe, Zi Yan bore heavy responsibilities. If she stayed with him for too long, it would be irresponsible to her people.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Zi Yan, the inheritance your father left you last time was truly remarkable. Now you finally have the power befitting a Dragon Emperor!" Gu Fei said, noting her rapid cultivation progress.
Her advancement was astonishing. He had absorbed energy stored in the demonic flame for years to break through to a six-star Dou Saint, and Zi Yan had also advanced from five-star to six-star, indicating that her opportunity was as great as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. "Every Void Dragon with the Dragon Phoenix bloodline eventually reaches nine-star Dou Saint. I just sped up the process a bit," Zi Yan smiled.
If she hadn't awakened her ancient bloodline, no matter how powerful her father was, she wouldn't have progressed this quickly in just two years.
"Gu Fei, aside from my own progress, the changes in Dragon Island are massive!" Zi Yan added with pride.
"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have waited so long outside the demonic flame space!"
Seeing her expression, Gu Fei became curious.
"What's happening in your island?"
"You'll see when we get there~" Zi Yan teased.
"For now, let's go see Cai Lin. She's been in seclusion for years- you must miss her terribly!"
The Beast Region, a vast land that rivaled the Central Plains, was filled with wonders.
The three dominant tribes- Ancient Void Dragon, Heaven Demon Phoenix, and Nine Serene Deep Ground Python- were the most prominent. Among them, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe had long been hidden, their fame reduced to legend.
The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe was vast in number but lacked the strength of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe. In the absence of the Ancient Void Dragons, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe held supremacy over the Beast Region, much like the Soul Hall in the Central
Plains.
Recently, however, the Beast Region had grown particularly lively. The source of the excitement was the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe and the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python
Tribe.
The Phoenix Tribe had dispatched a large number of experts to surround the headquarters of the Python Tribe, creating an intense standoff. Everyone in the Beast Region understood that if these two prominant tribes went to war, it wouldn't be a small skirmish.
