The Ten Thousand Flames Mountain Range, the lair of the Essence Fire Race.
A vast red manor occupied an enormous area, and Yan Zheng sat inside a red stone pavilion.
Yan Ji stood to the side, her expression respectful.
"I plan to travel outside. I'll leave the affairs of the race to you. I'll take Bai Xuan and the others with me. Unless absolutely necessary, don't go to war with the Human Race. If a Racial War breaks out, you must obey Daoist Friend Luo's orders."
Yan Zheng instructed her.
Yan Que had been severely wounded in the Racial War, and his defensive treasure had suffered heavy damage. When the Grand Heavenly Tribulation descended, he died beneath the Thunder Tribulation.
He had originally planned to make a fortune during the Racial War, making his Tribulation easier to overcome. He had never expected not only to lose his defensive treasure, but also to suffer serious injuries and fail to survive the Grand Heavenly Tribulation.
Such situations were far from uncommon. High-Level Cultivators left to travel or ventured into forbidden and dangerous places in search of Tribulation Materials or treasures. Not only did they return empty-handed, but their few remaining treasures were also ruined. They themselves suffered severe injuries, failed to recover before the Grand Heavenly Tribulation descended, and ultimately died, their cultivation destroyed.
As a result, the Essence Fire Race was left with only Yan Zheng, a Great Ascension Cultivator. The losses suffered by all three races in the previous Racial War had been considerable, so another Racial War would not break out in the short term.
Besides searching for Tribulation Materials, Yan Zheng planned to travel in search of miraculous Spirit Pills that could assist with breaking through to the Great Ascension Stage and nurture a new Great Ascension Cultivator.
