The Kindhearted Ones

Amidst the endless, towering flames, a dozen figures sat cross-legged not far from a towering tree, forming a small circle.

The flames couldn't get close to this small circle at all. Even though this place was a paradise of fire, these people were outsiders and still couldn't get near it.

These outsiders didn't even exude the slightest bit of imposing aura.

"This Small World seems to be a furnace, where all living beings that set foot in it can be tempered, but the Spiritual Power that living beings possess is also devoured by it, as if it is nurturing something."

Qin Tian spoke first, but his brows were full of doubt. He had searched the place and found nothing special except for the tree and the two puppets. He couldn't find the core of the world at all.

"The origin of this Small World is very strong. Even I was slightly suppressed. Unless you are Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, even Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign would find it difficult to resist the world's refinement. But it did not do that. Instead, it gave certain benefits to the beings that stepped into it." The True Dragon Emperor also had a solemn expression.

As the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan, the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and the True Dragon Emperor, it was perfectly normal for him to call himself the number one Divine Beast in the Great Thousand World, but at this moment he was being suppressed.

That Dragon Phoenix were real!

The Dragon Phoenix, which was once a fleeting phenomenon but was invincible and ranked first on the Divine Beast Ranking, actually has a legacy!

The True Dragon Emperor felt his heart, which had become calm due to his long-standing stagnation in cultivation, begin to beat fiercely again, yearning to take another step forward.

That's Dragon Phoenix! Dragon Phoenix that can easily defeat all Dragon Clan of the same rank!

"It's not just the source that's powerful; the power of the flames has been suppressed. If it were to erupt completely, those below the Heavenly Sovereign would die instantly upon contact, and those below the Saint Grade would be unable to resist and would have no choice but to flee."

"These flames include terrifying flames that can rival those of Heavenly Sovereign, and even the weakest ones are no less powerful than those of Great Perfection Earthly Sovereign. They are mutually opposed yet integrated, mutually generating and restraining each other, and complementing each other. It is hard to imagine what kind of Lower Plane the 'Dou Qi Continent' is, that could give birth to such strange flames?"

The one who said this was the Kunpeng Ancestor. He himself possessed the dual transformations of the Kunpeng and controlled the power of Yin and Yang, so he could better understand how terrifying the power contained in these opposing yet unified flames was.

The sheer number of flames was enough to make the Kunpeng Ancestor's scalp tingle.

"It has little to do with the 'Dou Qi Continent'. The Demon Saint Valley Valley Master has already explained the power of the Heavenly Flames. In comparison, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is at most comparable to the Earthly Sovereign. However, in this Small World, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame can actually purify the Demonic Qi of the Demon Emperor level."

"I suspect that a brilliant genius emerged in the 'Dou Qi Continent' who cultivated to a level comparable to the Heavenly Sovereign in the Lower Plane. After reaching a point where he could not advance any further, he began to cultivate his own flame and ascended to the Great Thousand World to fully accept the transformation of Spiritual Power, which is why he has such power."

"But I wonder where that genius is now."

The Green Shirt Sword Saint's words carried a hint of fighting spirit; as a sword cultivator, he was eager to spar with the strong.

"That's true," Qin Tian said with a delighted expression, picking up the conversation:

"I have placed the scriptures on the transformation of Spiritual Power from the Lower Plane planes to the Great Thousand World into the Small World, as well as some scriptures on Spiritual Power cultivation and several fire-attribute cultivation techniques and spiritual manuals. Just now, they all merged into the world."

"The core of this world is indeed a certain genius, and I think that genius should have felt our goodwill."

"This world... well, it's called the 'Endless Fire Domain'."

"The Endless Fire Domain..." The group looked at the surrounding flames and nodded in agreement; the name was indeed fitting.

The atmosphere eased slightly, but when the Lord of Immortality, who had remained silent until now, spoke, the atmosphere became tense again. "The reaction of the Outer Realm Evil Clan is very subtle. Apart from that one attack, they have not made any further moves. I don't know if they are brewing a conspiracy or have given up."

"But with the emergence of something that can purify Demonic Qi, the Outer Realm Evil Clan cannot give up."

"Then it can only mean they're plotting something."

Mentioning the Outer Realm Evil Clan, everyone's expressions turned grim. Although the Great Thousand World a slight advantage overall, it could collapse at any moment before the Heavenly Evil God was completely annihilated.

Unless another being comparable to Immortal Great Emperor appears.

Moreover, the Great Thousand World has never had a good solution to the problem of Demonic Qi influence.

This Endless Fire Domain showed them this possibility and gave them the means to purify Demonic Qi.

Therefore, these renowned Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, the absolute pinnacle of the Great Thousand World, were willing to gather together.

If it is unclaimed, they will naturally try to refine it to see if they can reach the level of Immortal Great Emperor, or at the very least, master the means to purify Demonic Qi; if it is claimed, they are willing to form a good relationship with the Lord of the Endless Fire Domain.

As for forcibly seizing the Endless Fire Domain... it can only be said that the Outer Realm Evil Clan have something on their minds, and such an act of mutual slaughter would never happen.

In particular, this Endless Fire Domain "gentle and kind," so its owner must be a good person.

At that moment, the entire Endless Fire Domain began to tremble.

The Endless Fire Domain had been devouring and refining Spiritual Power, but the commotion was not too great and the overall situation was relatively mild. Now, it began to devour and expend energy wildly, causing the World Energy and earth throughout the entire Myriad Monster Continent to become restless, and flames suddenly appeared in various parts of the continent.

The Endless Fire Domain, which had been hiding itself, erupted completely at this moment. Invisible waves of fire surged out first, covering the entire Myriad Monster Continent in an instant, followed closely by other flames.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree took root directly on the Myriad Monster Continent, its refreshing fragrance spreading far and wide.

These Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign all showed expressions of surprise. In their perception, this Endless Fire Domain actually overlapped with the Myriad Monster Continent!

Moreover, that flame, powerful enough to annihilate even the most Heavenly Sovereign, could even preserve the smallest weeds!

What incredible control over fire!

"Handling heavy tasks with ease..." The Green Shirt Sword Saint sighed softly.

With the Green Shirt Sword Saint's level of skill, it wouldn't be difficult for him to cleave the Myriad Monster Continent in two with a single sword strike; however, it would be impossible for him to cover the Myriad Monster Continent with his sword energy without harming a single thing!

However, the changes did not end there.

The entire Myriad Monster Continent underwent a strange change. A half-meter-long grass snake suddenly grew larger and transformed into a giant python tens of meters long. With each opening and closing of its massive mouth, a ferocious aura soared into the sky.

Lotus flowers bloom all over the river, and every drop of the river water exudes a rich fragrance. It is actually a spiritual liquid, containing extremely rich energy.

A spiritual herb matured instantly, with wisps of Spiritual Qi surrounding it. A faint consciousness emerged from the herb, and it actually gave birth to a little bit of intelligence.

Even the Myriad Monster Continent itself seems to be slowly growing larger, and the space is becoming more solid, as if it is evolving.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

The ubiquitous flames burned for three days and three nights before gradually subsiding.

The expressions of the various Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign turned slightly serious; they knew that the main character was about to appear.

The once violent fire-attribute energy now gathered together in an incredibly gentle manner, forming long rivers of flame, slowly converging around the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"Is it that Bodhi Ancient Tree? It shouldn't be able to support the Endless Fire Domain, right?" Qin Tian frowned.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the flames poured into the puppet on the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree...

The puppet, which had previously shown no energy fluctuations or life force, suddenly opened its eyes. Its lively gaze and vigorous blood energy clearly revealed its identity as a living being.

A powerful aura, like a dragon lurking in the abyss, slowly rose from that body, instantly reaching the Sovereign Realm. Then, it broke through the Earthly Sovereign with overwhelming force, stepping into the Heavenly Sovereign, and finally reaching the peak of the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

But this is only the level of Spiritual Power cultivation.

The soul pressure emanating from that body made even many veteran Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign feel a slight pressure—in terms of soul realm and power alone, this person was in no way inferior to them!

Several powerful individuals with Divine Beast bloodlines felt it even more deeply; beneath that human body, it seemed as if countless giant dragons were lurking, ready to destroy the world with every move they made!

It can be said that although his Spiritual Power cultivation is only at the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign, no one doubts that this person can break through to the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign and become one of the pillars of the Great Thousand World.

As for whether they can reach the level of Immortal Great Emperor in the future and shoulder the responsibility of the entire Great Thousand World, no one is sure.

And this uncertainty is actually the greatest certainty—even after breaking through to the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign for many years, they still do not believe that they will be able to rival the Immortal Great Emperor in the future!

As everyone sighed in amazement, the man smiled slightly, then leaped down from the incredibly thick branches of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. With a wave of his hand, the entire Bodhi Ancient Tree slowly shrank and disappeared into his palm.

This being, whom they regarded as a puppet, was none other than the Lord of the Endless Fire Domain!

Everyone instinctively looked at another puppet, and then saw that the person put that puppet away—that was a real puppet.

"..."

"So that's how it is!" The Green Shirt Sword Saint's eyes suddenly lit up. He clenched his right fist and slammed it into his left palm, saying, "That Endless Fire Domain has no core at all. You have integrated your soul into the entire Small World. As long as the world exists, your soul will not perish!"

"I suppose so..." Xiao Yan gave a perfunctory smile and a "you're right" look to the Green Shirt Sword Saint.

"May I ask your name?" The True Dragon Emperor strode forward, a smile that he considered friendly on his face.

"Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan!"

"Flame Emperor, the Emperor of Fire? That's quite an apt title." After agreeing, the True Dragon Emperor continued, "I am the True Dragon Emperor, the Great Elder of the Dragon Clan."

"Phoenix King." "Huang King."

A man and a woman quickly approached, following closely behind the True Dragon Emperor.

The others were also aware of the Divine Beast races, especially the dragon and phoenix races,'s desire for the Dragon Phoenix Power, so they stood still and waited for them to communicate.

"Hehe, you seniors are after the Dragon Phoenix Power, aren't you?" Xiao Yan chuckled, bluntly shattering their illusions:

"In my world, there are two top beastmen, namely the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, who are enemies and will fight to the death whenever they meet."

"But if by sheer chance, a peak-level Ancient Void Dragon and Ancient Heavenly Phoenix perish together, then thousands of years later, there is a tiny chance that a Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit will grow on their corpses."

"Only by consuming the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit can the Ancient Void Dragon or the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix evolve into a true Dragon Phoenix."

"The power of Dragon Phoenix cannot be passed down. Offspring cannot inherit the Dragon Phoenix Power, but can only inherit the power of the original Ancient Void Dragon or the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix."

"But now, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix has become extinct, Heavenly Phoenix remains are hard to find."

The True Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix King Huang King exchanged a glance, somewhat disappointed, but still smiled and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder the Dragon Phoenix Power was so fleeting; there was such a secret behind it."

"However, since you have obtained a trace of the Dragon Phoenix Power, you will surely make the name of the Dragon Phoenix resound Great Thousand World future."

Xiao Yan accepted the True Dragon Emperor's praise as a matter of course, then took out the Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit he had prepared beforehand from his Storage Ring, and said with a bright smile:

"The Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit contains a faint trace of Dragon Phoenix Bloodline. It is naturally useless to someone of your cultivation level, but if it is used to baptize a newborn descendant, it may allow the descendant to obtain a Dragon Phoenix Power."

"Of course, this was something I barely managed to conceive at a great cost, consuming my own life Essence Blood. I originally intended for my offspring to use, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings..."

"I want it!" The True Dragon Emperor was initially stunned, but then instantly regained his senses. A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he pulled out a Medicinal Herbs and said, "I'll trade this Ten Thousand Year Dragon Blood Ginseng King for it!"

This ginseng king has a subtle Medicinal Fragrance and is entirely blood red. Unlike the human-shaped ginseng king, each of its tendrils is shaped Dragon Shape, with a total of twelve tendrils. It is clearly a top-grade ginseng king with a medicinal age of 12,000 years.

"Heh, you think you can exchange a mere ten-thousand-year-old blood ginseng for the Dragon Phoenix Power?" The Phoenix King glanced at the True Dragon Emperor, took out a ball of dazzling flame, and smiled at Xiao Yan, "I think as the Flame Emperor, young friend, you should be more interested in flames."

The flame was sealed inside a crystal the size of a head, shaped like a crimson Phoenix, clearly the powerful flame of the Phoenix Clan.

Even through the seal of the crystal ball, Xiao Yan could still sense that the Phoenix flames could easily annihilate Peak Dou Saint, and even Dou Emperor should not be underestimated.

In the context of the Great Thousand World, this would be somewhere between the Earthly Sovereign and the Heavenly Sovereign, equivalent to a Quasi- Heavenly Sovereign.

Before the True Dragon Emperor could say anything more, Xiao Yan took the flame and examined it. The Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit had also fallen into the Phoenix King's hands.

"Sigh..." Upon hearing that Xiao Yan had exhausted his Essence Blood, the True Dragon Emperor subconsciously took out the Ten Thousand Year Dragon Blood Ginseng King to replenish his blood and qi, but ended up losing the battle.

Just then, Xiao Yan put the flame into his ring, took out an identical and extremely precious Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit, and said to the True Dragon Emperor, "Want one?"

"..."

The Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Dragon Ginseng King is gone, but the Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit has been obtained. Although the Dragon Phoenix Power within it is extremely weak, it cannot be faked. However, for some reason, the True Dragon Emperor just cannot be happy.

"Do you still have this Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit?" the True Dragon Emperor asked.

"Hehe, senior, you may not know this, but the Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit and the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit are two different things Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit is something I obtained by separating the Dragon Phoenix Power from my own Essence Blood and ripening the Green Fate Fruit. It can only bring a faint trace of bloodline seed."

"It's easy for me to replenish my Essence Blood, but the Green Fate Fruit is very difficult to ripen. A fruit tree can only bear one Green Fate Fruit every hundred years," Xiao Yan explained.

"Are you selling the Green Fate Fruit Tree?" the True Dragon Emperor then asked.

"Sell it. One fruit tree in exchange for a flame comparable to Heavenly Sovereign. I can only sell a maximum of ten trees, and I can't guarantee that the Green Fate Fruit Tree will survive once they enter the Great Thousand World," Xiao Yan replied instantly.

"... I'll reserve two trees first, but I need to prepare the environment for the cultivation of the Green Fate Fruit Tree, as well as a powerful flame comparable to that of the Heavenly Sovereign."

The True Dragon Emperor took out a dragon scale and gave it to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan returned the favor by giving the True Dragon Emperor a Jade Slip with Flame Mark.

"I want two too," Phoenix King chimed in, exchanging contact information with Xiao Yan as well.

Xiao Yan made a small profit and informed the three of the general environment required for the Green Fate Fruit Tree.

As for the Green Fate Fruit Tree bearing only one fruit every hundred years, that is certainly true, but no one takes it seriously. Xiao Yan can use the Life Spirit Flame to ripen it, so the Dragon and Phoenix clans naturally have their own methods for ripening Medicinal Herbs.

What is truly precious is the Dragon Phoenix Power, and the way to obtain Dragon Phoenix Power. However, with the Dragon Phoenix Fate Fruit, even the True Dragon Emperor and the Phoenix King Huang King have some confidence.

Of course, if they fail, they can probably add some money to buy blood from Xiao Yan...
