A Heart for the Greater Good
The others, seeing that the conversation was over, all leaned closer with serious expressions.
The group was quite pleased that the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan could obtain a relatively stable inheritance of the Dragon Phoenix Bloodline.
"That Green Fate Fruit can actually bear the Dragon Phoenix Power; it is truly a rare treasure of heaven and earth," Qin Tian said with a smile.
"It's not just the Dragon Phoenix Power. My Emperor Flame Green Fate Fruit can also withstand it. The main purpose of this thing is to allow beginners to undergo tempering by high-level power."
Qin Tian exchanged glances with the Green Shirt Sword Saint and the Lord of Immortality, and decided that it was worth acquiring the Green Fate Fruit Tree. Even if its effects weren't great in the Great Thousand World, and were only half of what Xiao Yan had described, it wouldn't be too much of a loss.
Moreover, Xiao Yan has great talent and is worthy of the Great Thousand Palace's investment.
"I just heard you say that you could only sell a maximum of ten Green Fate Fruit Tree. Four have already been sold. The remaining six can be bought by the Great Thousand Palace!"
Qin Tian was very confident. Flames comparable to those of the Heavenly Sovereign were hard to find. The Dragon Clan and Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign Phoenix Clan Innate Realm advantages. Even a Celestial Sovereign could do it by separating a part of their origin. However, the Great Thousand Palace's influence was spread throughout the Great Thousand World, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to gather six flames.
"That's excellent, but I wonder what kind of power the Great Thousand Palace is, and what conditions are required to join Great Thousand Palace?" Xiao Yan asked.
Qin Tian was very happy; Xiao Yan had asked for it himself before he had even mentioned it.
So, Qin Tian gave a brief introduction.
The Great Thousand Palace is the largest force in the Great Thousand World, spreading throughout the entire Great Thousand World. It is the representative of the Great Thousand World, and its purpose is to eliminate the Outer Realm Evil Clan.
Most Heavenly Sovereign will be recorded in the Great Thousand Palace and become guest elders after passing the review. Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign will become elders.
It will only truly exist when the Outer Realm Evil Clan invade again; in times of peace, it is merely a symbol, and members do not need to contribute to it.
Afterwards, Qin Tian took out a Demon Slaying Token and handed it to Xiao Yan, introducing himself as the Demon Slaying King, as well as the identities of the other Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
"So, the one who plotted against me was from the Outer Realm Evil Clan?" Xiao Yan asked knowingly.
"That's true, but that's not an ordinary Outer Realm Evil Clan. It's a true Demon Emperor, even stronger than an ordinary Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign."
"To be honest, you didn't attract much attention at first. It was only after the Demon Emperor personally took action that we were able to gather together." Qin Tian's expression became much more serious.
Xiao Yan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked some questions about cultivation in the Great Thousand World.
Although he had studied some Spirit Art, Xiao Yan still didn't understand things like Spirit Vein Dharma Aspect very well.
Qin Tian immediately perked up and offered to provide Xiao Yan with Dharma Aspect Cultivation Method in the Great Thousand World, allowing Xiao Yan to choose one that suited him, and to purchase from Xiao Yan a method that could purify Demonic Qi.
All the resources needed to cultivate the Dharma Body are provided by the Great Thousand Palace.
The Supreme Dharma Body is the symbol of advancement to the Sovereign and one of the strongest combat forces of the Sovereign. Only the Sovereign can condense it, thereby controlling heaven and earth and possessing the power to destroy the world with every move.
Those ranked in the top 100 can be considered invincible, equivalent to the status of Heavenly Flames in the Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Yan's expression hardened, and he stared intently at Qin Tian without saying a word.
Qin Tian realized he had misspoke. It was inappropriate to ask for such a trump card right away. At their first meeting, it was enough to bring Xiao Yan into the Great Thousand Palace. Just as he was about to apologize, Xiao Yan said, "I need to pay more."
"..."
"That Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is a powerful flame that has been nurtured by the heavens and earth of the Dou Qi Continent for thousands of years. Even with the power of the Dou Qi Continent, only one can be condensed. If it is lost, it will cause considerable damage to the Dou Qi Continent."
"The Dharma form is secondary; I can't think of any way to make up for the missing world power."
" With Great Enemy at hand, I can disregard personal gains and losses. I can separate a portion of the essence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, but I will only exchange it for a divine object that is of great benefit to the plane."
After hearing his words, the group was filled with respect.
"I possess the Kunpeng Feather, which is yin when it enters water and yang when it breaks through the sky. It is equally capable of supporting a Lower Plane." The Kunpeng Ancestor took out a golden feather, but its base was pitch black.
"Before I came here, I thought that the Endless Fire Domain was, after all, a Small World, so I brought some Cosmic Wood that could maintain Small World. Although it is dead wood, it has the miraculous effect of stabilizing space," the Green Shirt Sword Saint added.
Hundreds of dark brown logs, each over ten feet thick and hundreds of feet long, appeared out of thin air. They had no branches or leaves, looked incredibly heavy, and contained extremely subtle Space Power within them.
These Space Power were slowly dissipating from the wood, making the surrounding world more stable.
"The Great Thousand Palace also has some rare and precious materials left behind to nurture the Plane Embryo, which will greatly benefit the plane and should be able to meet your requirements, young friend," the Lord of Immortality added.
Xiao Yan nodded, put away the spiritual items, and then began to separate the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
Xiao Yan was already very familiar with this kind of thing, but at this moment it was better to make a bigger commotion. As a result, waves of heat emanated from Xiao Yan, causing the temperature of the world to rise out of nowhere.
After several breaths, Xiao Yan opened his palm, and in the center of his palm, a lotus flower slowly bloomed.
The group examined it closely. The lotus emitted a milky white halo and was covered with pink veins. Although it looked beautiful, its energy fluctuations were slightly inferior to those of Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign.
To say it's amazing is an understatement; to say it's powerful is a bit lacking.
"Let me give it a try." The Green Shirt Sword Saint stepped forward, extended a finger, and a wisp of seemingly tiny but actually condensed sword energy burst forth from his fingertip, shooting towards the lotus flower.
A thin black slit appeared behind the sword energy. Space was as fragile as paper, completely useless in the face of the sword energy, which tore apart wherever it went.
The energy fluctuations of the sword energy were slightly inferior to those of Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and were equivalent to those of the lotus flower, clearly indicating that the Green Shirt Sword Saint had done this intentionally.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Yan also pushed forward, sending out a lotus flower from his palm, which collided with the sword energy.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The imagined evenly matched scenario did not materialize. At the same level, the sword energy did not even manage to hit the petals, being blocked by the lotus's milky-white halo and unable to advance an inch.
Strands of pure energy emanated from the halo, and the sword energy was directly purified into pure Spiritual Qi by the lotus!
The Green Shirt Sword Saint's lips twitched; he knew he had been completely crushed.
This is a suppression at the source level. Under the same energy fluctuations, the sword energy of the Green Shirt Sword Saint is not even worthy of carrying the shoes of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and Xiao Yan has more than twenty such flames.
But this also gave everyone hope of suppressing the Outer Realm Evil Clan.
For a long time, the strong in the Great Thousand World could only use Spiritual Power to resist the erosion of Demonic Qi. Although the Great Thousand World was unwilling to admit it, the fact was that Demonic Qi was more powerful than Spiritual Power, and using Spiritual Power to resist Demonic Qi was often a counterproductive approach.
Now that we have such a flame, dealing with Demonic Qi will likely be much easier.
However, the surprises didn't stop there. Xiao Yan then took out another jade scroll and said:
"This is the 'Sky Burning World Purifying Art' that I developed based on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. It can complement the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, cultivate the power of purification, and temper one's own body and soul. However, since it has not been modified into Spirit Art, there is still room for improvement."
"Flame Emperor Yan is so righteous that he is willing to pass on all his cultivation techniques." Qin Tian said with some emotion, "Flame Emperor, rest assured, the Dharma Aspect Cultivation Method promised by the Great Thousand Palace is still valid."
"The cultivation technique is nothing special; the key is the flame. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame inherits the World Will of the Dou Qi Continent and gains the power of purification. When I convert Dou Qi into Spiritual Power, this flame also carries the Great Thousand World's World Will in the Netherworld, which is why it appears exceptionally powerful," Xiao Yan said, waving his hand.
This is absolutely true. The Plane Embryo the Dou Qi Continent is inextricably linked to the Great Thousand World's World Will. Xiao Yan gained some insight as soon as he arrived, using the Heavenly Flames as a bridge to perceive the laws of the Great Thousand World.
As the Endless Fire Domain merged into the Myriad Monster Continent, Xiao Yan's Soul Power rapidly increased, but his consciousness almost dissipated, and his soul returned to heaven and earth.
If it weren't for the many people on the Dou Qi Continent who were still thinking about Flame Emperor, Plane Embryo pulled Xiao Yan back, Xiao Yan would have truly perished.
"Sometimes, resources are indeed more important than cultivation techniques," Qin Tian continued, "Does Flame Emperor know why the Great Thousand Palace is unwilling to exchange its top ten Dharma Body?"
"Could it be that the top ten Dharma Body were also born from heaven and earth, and there is only one of them?" Xiao Yan blinked, thinking of his Endless Fire Domain, which seemed to have mutated after it was combined with the Myriad Monster Continent.
It was as if Xiao Yan's Dharma Body had been formed.
"That's right. The top ten Dharma Body are all called Primal Dharma Body. Great Thousand World speaking, these ten Dharma Body are all at the same level in terms of power, only their abilities are different."
"However, five of them have been completely destroyed, and even the cultivation methods have been lost, making them impossible to reproduce. The other five have been kept by the Five Great Ancient Clans respectively," Qin Tian explained.
Xiao Yan thought about it and felt that his Endless Fire Domain carried a Great Thousand World's World Will, and perhaps replaced one of the five positions, becoming the new Primal Dharma Body?
With so many Heavenly Flames gathered together, even if it's not as good as the others, it shouldn't be that much worse, right?
Seeing that Xiao Yan was deep in thought, the others did not disturb him, but stepped back a little distance and began to discuss the ownership of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
"Shall we, the Grave Keeper Lineage, cultivate the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and the Sky Burning World Purifying Art?" the Lord of Immortality said.
Generally speaking, the Grave Keeper Lineage has been guarding the Northern Desolation Hill, which seals the Heavenly Evil God, for many years Lord of Immortality almost never sets foot on other continents. This time, Shao came purely for the purpose of purifying Demonic Qi.
After all, the Heavenly Evil God is not dead yet. Even with the seal of the Immortal Great Emperor, the Demonic Qi of such a powerful being is still unbearable.
"What about Flame Emperor? The Outer Realm Evil Clan will definitely hunt him down, and we can't stay with him all the time. Ordinary forces will probably just perish along with him," Qin Tian said worriedly.
"That depends on how much the Outer Realm Evil Clan is willing to pay. If they are willing, even the seven of us can't protect Flame Emperor Yan," the Green Shirt Sword Saint shrugged.
As soon as he finished speaking, huge cracks suddenly appeared in the void. Then, countless demonic Demonic Shadow swept out like locusts, and the bright sky turned dark in an instant.
Eight towering Demonic Shadow slowly emerged from the crack, standing in all directions of the Myriad Monster Continent. The overwhelming Demonic Qi sealed off the entire space of the Myriad Monster Continent, making it impossible for anyone to escape.
"Are you a jinx?!" Qin Tian's expression instantly became extremely serious.
These eight Demonic Shadow were all Heavenly Demon Emperor of the thirty-two major clans of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. Their cultivation was comparable to the Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and their combat power was even superior. The leading Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor was even of the same clan as the Heavenly Evil God, making him incomparably powerful.
They could barely hold off seven Heavenly Demon Emperors. The extra Heavenly Demon Emperor was clearly there to hunt down Xiao Yan, and then use his numbers to overwhelm them all.
The gap between Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign is indescribable, let alone Xiao Yan, who is not even Saint Grade!
The extra Outer Realm Evil Clan were clearly "sacrifices" used to corrupt the Spiritual Power of the Myriad Monster Continent, creating vast amounts of Demonic Qi that prevented the seven from replenishing their Spiritual Qi, while the eight Heavenly Demon Emperors could replenish their Demonic Qi at any time!
"Are we going to die?" Xiao Yan asked, leaning closer.
"..." ×7
"I can sense that this space has been sealed off. If you have any backup plans, use them quickly. If not, I'll think about my last words."
"You don't need to think of your last words." Qin Tian took a deep breath and said, "I'll self-destruct in a moment, tearing open an opening. You can take Xiao Yan and go to the Northern Desolation Hill! The Outer Realm Evil Clan can't set foot there!"
"Flame Emperor doesn't seem to be in a hurry?" The Green Shirt Sword Saint suddenly stared at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan didn't say much, but gave each of the seven people an Emperor Flame Seed: "As long as I can keep one flame seed, I won't die - remember to prepare more rare and precious materials for me to restore my origin."
Qin Tian wanted to say something, but the Lord of Immortality stopped him. "Flame Emperor's Endless Fire Domain is more powerful than your self-destruction, and the chances of the seven of us escaping are much greater."
The Lord of Immortality spoke calmly, but his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, everyone recognized Xiao Yan, a man who had just arrived from Lower Plane but possessed a great sense of righteousness. They were willing to address him as Flame Emperor, no longer regarding him as a junior, but placing him on an equal footing with themselves.
Qin Tian's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his hands tightly. Back then, he had watched helplessly as his companions were killed by the Outer Realm Evil Clan. Now, he had cultivated to the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign and stood at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World. He had met a like-minded partner, but he still had to use his partner's self-destruction to create an opportunity to escape.
But the Lord of Immortality is right; protecting the Flame Emperor Flame Seed is the most important thing.
The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor looked at Xiao Yan, who had stepped forward, with great interest and revealed a big smile.
The one who corrupted Xiao Yan was the Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Heart Demon Clan, Late-Stage Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign. He could easily kill an ordinary Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, and Xiao Yan was at the critical moment of converting Dou Qi into Spiritual Power, yet he actually withstood it.
From that moment on, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor knew that the Great Thousand World would definitely value Xiao Yan, but he never expected that the Great Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor Great Thousand World would gather so many powerful figures, especially Qin Tian.
A plan took shape in the mind of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor. This time, there were more than eight Heavenly Demon Emperors. The Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Heart Demon Clan was secretly waiting to make his move at any moment.
In the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's plan, the other six powerful figures would sacrifice their lives to cover the retreat, while Xiao Yan and Qin Tian would "luckily" escape.
