A Trip to the Flower Sect for My Teacher

In the Void Space, Cao Ying and the others watched with tense and puzzled expressions. There, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped all his actions and closed his eyes. What surprised them even more was that the purplish-black fire dragon in front of Xiao Yan had fallen into an eerie silence. Its body was suspended in mid-air. If it weren't for the fact that there was still some life force emanating from both of them, anyone would probably think that they had suddenly lost their lives.

"What happened?" Cao Ying frowned and asked in a low voice.

"They seem to have changed their fighting style. I can sense that Xiao Yan is mobilizing an extremely large amount of soul power, and the Three Thousand Burning Flame are also making some similar movements. I think it must be a battle of souls."

Dan Chen said softly from the side.

"A battle of souls?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying's expression changed slightly. Soul battles are generally only possible when one's soul power reaches a certain level. However, such battles are too fierce, and a single misstep can cause irreparable damage to the soul, and may even lead to some aftereffects that gradually weaken the soul power. Therefore, even some truly powerful soul power practitioners do not dare to easily engage in soul battles with others.

"Worrying now is useless. At this time, disturbing even one of them could cause a backlash with extremely serious consequences. We can only wait for it to end naturally."

Dan Chen sighed.

Cao Ying frowned deeply, but she had no other choice but to sigh inwardly.

When Cao Ying and the others discovered the strange state of Xiao Yan and the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Xiao Yuan also stepped forward and unleashed two light seals. The unfamiliar and mysterious methods caused everyone present to look astonished.

Before Qiu Ling could even ask a question, an old figure appeared in the Star Region, and everyone's attention immediately focused on him, discovering that the newcomer was none other than Xuan Kongzi.

However, just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. The enormous, purplish-black dragon that had been frozen in the void suddenly swelled up, and purplish-black flames erupted like a volcano, forcibly breaking free from the ice. Xiao Yuan, who was far away, also turned pale and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"The Three Thousand Burning Flame are about to erupt!"

Gazing at the rapidly expanding dragon's body, even with Xuan Kongzi's composure, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Boom!"

Within the Void Space, the massive body of the Three Thousand Burning Flame was rapidly expanding. Beneath its dragon scales, countless purplish-black flames, each a hundred feet in size, surged forth, engulfing a small section of the Void Space in the blink of an eye. And judging from the appearance, the eruption was far from over.

Even Xuan Kongzi's expression changed slightly at such a large-scale eruption of flames. He could sense that the Three Thousand Burning Flame seemed to be unleashing all the flames it had absorbed over the years. "What's going on?"

Xuan Kongzi's eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned towards Xiao Yan's direction. Seeing that both Xiao Yan and the primordial fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flame were silent, he seemed to understand something after a moment, and his expression gradually became serious. He said in a deep voice:

"This guy is incredibly audacious to be fighting with his soul."

"Bang!"

As Xuan Kongzi pondered, a section of the dragon's body finally exploded violently. An exceptionally terrifying purplish-black flame swept across the Void Space like lightning, and the terrifying temperature immediately turned the entire Star Region into a sea of fire.

The sweeping purple-black sea of fire suddenly split apart when it reached a distance of about ten feet from Xiao Yan and the origin of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, leaving an open space there, before rushing away.

"Qiu Ling, take them and go first!"

Sensing the increasingly terrifying temperature within this Star Region, Xuan Kongzi's expression also became much more solemn. The power unleashed by the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which had absorbed flames for so many years, was quite terrifying. Even he dared not linger in such a place for too long. The terrifying temperature of the Three Thousand Burning Flame would be extremely difficult for even the strongest Dou Qi to withstand.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling nodded solemnly, then waved his sleeve at Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Song Qing. A gust of wind lifted the three of them up, and they sped off towards the exit of the Star Region.

"Teacher, and Xiao Yan too!"

"I was being forcibly taken away, "Cao Ying said hurriedly.

Xuan Kongzi frowned, his gaze fixed on Xiao Yan, who was already engulfed in purplish-black flames. The surrounding flames seemed to have a mind of their own, and did not surge toward him. However, staying in such a place for too long would be enough to make even a Dou Zun expert unable to endure the intense heat.

"Xiao Yuan, why didn't you stop him?"

Seeing Xiao Yuan fly over unhurriedly, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, the Three Thousand Burning Flame can't hurt him. Let's go. It will probably take a long time to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame."

Xiao Yuan smiled calmly and said indifferently.

"Are you sure? This is not the time for jokes!"

Xuan Kongzi looked at Xiao Yuan with some suspicion upon hearing this, and asked for confirmation.

"Don't worry, that's my own brother. How could I stand by and watch him die?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan leisurely flew outside.

Today's exertion was too much; I'll need to rest and recuperate properly after I get out.

Xuan Kongzi wanted to say something more, but the Three Thousand Burning Flame didn't give him a chance to continue. Suddenly, another section of the enormous dragon's body exploded with a loud "bang!" "Boom!"

A section of his body exploded, and terrifying purplish-black flames, like a roaring fire dragon, swept towards Xuan Kongzi with an overwhelming momentum.

"Let's go, those two kids are very cunning, they won't cause any problems."

While Xuan Kongzi hesitated, Qinghua Old Freak could not withstand the high temperature here and hurriedly rushed towards the exit of the Star Region. As he passed by Xuan Kongzi, he did not forget to urge him.

Shortly after Qinghua Old Freak finished speaking, a blue flame lotus platform condensed beneath Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by flames. The blue flames rose from the lotus platform and eventually formed a dome that enveloped his body.

"Heavenly Flames, huh? This kid isn't exactly reckless."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan Xuan Kongzi that Xiao Pill Gathering acted recklessly at the Pill Gathering, burning his soul to refine pills, and immediately paused.

"Forget it, if Xiao Yuan isn't worried, why should I be?"

But recalling Xiao Yuan's composed demeanor, Xuan Kongzi felt that Xiao Yan should be alright, so he didn't linger any longer and turned to head towards the exit of the Star Region.

As the last person darted out of the Star Region, this Void Space became completely silent. Endless purplish-black flames permeated every corner of the Star Region, and the terrifying temperature even caused space itself to distort. At this moment, the Star Region had completely transformed into a boundless sea of fire.

Saint Pill City, the city as it is today, still retains some ruins, clearly indicating that a major battle had taken place here before.

In the sky above the Danta, the silver spatial gate rippled, and then figures emerged from it in a disheveled state. Faintly, blazing purplish-black flames spewed out from within, leaving onlookers dumbfounded.

"Shut down the Star Region!"

Xuan Kongzi's figure flashed and he darted out of the spatial gate. He glanced inside and saw a continuous sea of purplish-black fire rapidly spreading in. His expression darkened and he shouted.

Upon hearing his shout, Xuan Yi and Heavenly Lightning were startled, but seeing the solemn expression on his face, they didn't have time to ask anything. As their hand seals changed, they unleashed bursts of spatial fluctuations, and the silver gate quickly vanished without a trace.

"Bang!"

Just as the silver spatial gate dissipated, a wave of purplish-black fire suddenly erupted, burning some of the nearby Danta experts so badly that they had to retreat and screamed in agony.

"What happened?"

Upon seeing this scene, the two men in Xuan Yi changed their expressions slightly and hurriedly said...

"The Three Thousand Burning Flame erupted, releasing all the flames it had absorbed over the years. The Star Region is now completely engulfed in a sea of fire. We need to tighten the seal, otherwise, if the Star Region breaks, the entire Saint Pill City will be destroyed in an instant."

Xuan Kongzi said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yi and Heavenly Lightning's expressions changed. The Three Thousand Burning Flame had absorbed the Star Power for countless years to condense its enormous form. Now that it had completely exploded, even they had to temporarily avoid its power.

"By the way, where's Xiao Yan?"

Xuan Yi glanced around and suddenly spoke.

Xuan Kongzi hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's still in the Star Region."

"What did you say? Why didn't you bring him out?"

Xuan Yi's expression changed drastically, and he roared.

"He is currently engaged in a soul battle with the primordial fire of the Three Thousand Burning Flame, clearly attempting to refine the latter. If I were to forcibly take him away, it would likely cause him considerable harm."

Xuan Kongzi sighed.

"Xiao Yuan!"

Xuan Yi's gaze immediately turned to Xiao Yuan, who was smiling.

"Don't worry, Aunt Xuan Xiao Yan. This isn't the first time Xiao Yan has encountered this situation. It will take quite some time to completely refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame. Let's just wait for good news."

Xiao Yuan smiled and comforted him.

"You little rascal, why didn't you say so sooner? You scared me to death!"

Xuan Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then glared at Xiao Yuan.

"Cough, I've used up too much energy. I've only just caught my breath."

Xiao Yuan said slowly and deliberately.

"Are you alright? Let me see, are you hurt?"

As soon as the sound rang out, Xuan Yi appeared in front of Xiao Yuan, grabbed Xiao Yuan's wrist, and swept her soul power through his body. After finding that he had only overexerted himself and that his injuries were not serious, she relaxed her brows. Then she took out a pill from her Storage Ring, crushed it with her terrifying soul power, and guided the medicinal power into Xiao Yuan's body.

"Wow, you just use Rank 8 Pill like that?"

Xuan Kongzi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmph, none of your business?" Xuan Yi snorted coldly, guiding all the medicinal power into Xiao Yuan's body. Feeling Xiao Yuan's condition improving rapidly and his complexion softening, she said gently, "Go back and rest well. Leave things here to us."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Xuan."

Xiao Yuan nodded obediently, and then walked towards the Danta.

"Teacher?"

On the way, Xiao Yuan looked at the simple black Storage Ring Xuan Yi had casually placed into his hand after treating his injuries, and called out softly.

"How is the situation?"

The Yao Lao's voice followed immediately.

"Zi Yan's Dragon Mark technique is indeed effective. The Three Thousand Burning Flame and Xiao Yan are now locked in a tug-of-war, which is nothing more than a contest of soul power and willpower. I believe he will be fine."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Well, now you're all capable of handling things on your own. As for Xiao Yan, it will probably take quite a while. What are your plans?"

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao continued to ask.

"Plans?" Xiao Yuan instinctively started to think, but quickly realized that there seemed to be something else behind Yao Lao's words. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Teacher, have you already made arrangements?"

"Well, if you have time, refine this pill, then go to the Flower Sect and deliver it to Hua Yu."

As soon as the Yao Lao finished speaking, a pale green scroll, brimming with vitality, appeared in Xiao Yuan's palm.

"Teacher, is this also?"

Xiao Yuan asked with a somewhat strange expression.

"What also?"

The Yao Lao was taken aback, then quickly realized what he meant, and chuckled and scolded him, somewhat speechless:

"What's going on in your head, kid? I met Hua Yu a few times back in the day. Speaking of which, she became famous earlier than me. She was a genius, and her strength was no less than that of the three giants."

"It's just that I only recently learned that after my accident, she seemed to have been seriously injured as well. Xuan Yi helped me find out that the position of sect leader of the Flower Sect has been vacant for a long time, and the elders are in charge. I'm worried that she might be nearing her end, and I'm in this state now. Now that everything has finally settled down, I can finally feel at ease letting you make this trip in my place."

The Yao Lao's tone was tinged with a sense of melancholy.

"Oh, that's alright then. Since the master has spoken, it is my duty as the disciple. I will go back and start refining the pills."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression turned serious. If he remembered correctly, this Hua Yu old senior seemed to be nearing the end of her life within the next year or two. A life was at stake, and he couldn't afford to be careless! "Don't rush. First, adjust your state and study the pill formula. This pill is much more difficult to make than the Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill. After all, Hua Yu is Dou Zun Peak expert. For her to be injured to the point of being unable to manage sect affairs, her injuries must be extremely serious. Therefore, we'll need at least a high-grade Eighth-Tier pill that can summon Seven-Colored Pill Tribulation Lightning — the Little Creation Pill!"

The Yao Lao's voice rang out again.

"Okay!"

Xiao Yuan responded, but still quickened his pace to return.
