The Nine-Heavens Cloud Luan Chariot and Nirvana Divine Flame-Breaking Through to Golden Immortal! (Continued)

"Back during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, we seized it from the Phoenix Clan."

Xuandan stared at the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage, smiling.

The Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage had been built around Phoenix feathers.

It gave off a faint fragrance, and wherever it went, clouds and wind followed.

The carriage was also carved with cloud luan designs that could manifest into real birds.

As it traveled, a hundred birds followed in a grand display.

It could soar beyond the nine heavens and traverse boundless space.

The East Sea Dragon King raised an eyebrow at Xuandan's obvious delight and seized the opportunity to sell it further.

"You have excellent taste, young friend!"

"This Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage is suited for both offense and defense. When activated, the Nine Phoenix Phantom strikes with boundless might."

"If you encounter danger, it can also protect itself. Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal would struggle to break through its defenses. At your current cultivation level, it's the perfect treasure for protecting yourself."

"And when you travel in this treasure, you'll make quite the impression. Wherever you go, nine phoenixes will pull the carriage, followed by a hundred birds!"

"It's every bit as impressive as Primordial Lord of Heaven's Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage!"

Xuandan nodded lightly and gave it a cursory appraisal. It really was a fine treasure.

He immediately drew it into his Nascent Soul, intending to refine it later.

The Dragon Clan had already told him to choose any one treasure he wanted, so he saw no reason to be polite.

Seeing this, the East Sea Dragon King couldn't help feeling a little envious.

Back when the Dragon Clan was at its peak, countless dragons had fought over the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage, simply because it made such a grand entrance.

But ever since the Dragon Clan had fallen from power, none of its members had dared to show off so ostentatiously. They had kept it in storage, afraid that if they brought it out, some powerful figure would snatch it away.

As Taiqing's personal disciple, Xuandan naturally had no such worries.

Having a good master really did make people envious.

After choosing his treasure, they were about to leave the Dragon Clan Treasury.

Xuandan suddenly stopped and looked toward the crimson starlight in the distance.

The Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame, which had been warming inside him, had suddenly stirred.

"May I ask what kind of flame that is? I didn't know the Dragon Clan had such a Divine Fire."

The East Sea Dragon King casually plucked the crimson star from the air.

Once it was in front of them, they could see it was a fist-sized source of flame.

The Dragon King blurted out,

"Excellent eye, young friend! This is none other than the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana Divine Fire!"

"This flame was separated from a Quasi-Saint of the Phoenix Clan during the war. It's considered one of the most powerful Divine Fires in the Prehistoric World!"

"Could it be that you're interested in the Nirvana Divine Fire?"

Hearing it was the Nirvana Divine Fire, Xuandan immediately grew interested.

It was one of the ten most powerful Divine Fires in the Prehistoric World.

He examined the source of the Nirvana Divine Fire up close.

It seemed to radiate endless laws of life and death.

Vast vitality flowed within its Death Intent.

Runes of the Great Dao Laws flickered into view from time to time.

No wonder this flame had been separated from a Quasi-Saint of the Phoenix Clan. It was truly astonishing!

Xuandan stared intently at it and asked softly,

"Could you give me a portion of the Nirvana Divine Fire's source?"

"Don't worry, senior. I won't take it for free. I'll offer you five Mysterious Sun Pills."

A Divine Fire at the Quasi-Saint level!

As an alchemist with a great divine ability like the Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame, how could he not covet it?

Besides, this flame could make up for his lack of offensive power.

In Xuandan's eyes, it was far more valuable than a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

After all, the Phoenix Clan was now living in seclusion. This might well be the only Quasi-Saint-level Nirvana Divine Fire left in the Prehistoric World!

The East Sea Dragon King was overjoyed the moment he heard the words "Mysterious Sun Pills."

After seeing the changes in Ao Guang when he took one, the Dragon King had come to regard the Mysterious Sun Pills as essential to the Dragon Clan's revival.

He had been wondering how he might use his relationship with Xuandan to get more Mysterious Sun Pills for the younger generation of the Dragon Clan.

Before he could think of a way, Xuandan had offered to trade.

As for the Nirvana Divine Fire?

It wasn't compatible with the Dragon Clan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept it all this time. Trading it for Mysterious Sun Pills was an excellent deal for him.

The East Sea Dragon King placed the source of the Nirvana Divine Fire directly in Xuandan's hands.

He moved so quickly, as if afraid Xuandan might change his mind.

His face was lit up with a grin, as though he'd struck gold.

"If you like the Nirvana Divine Fire, then take it. You're Huanglong's fellow disciple, so there's no need to be polite."

"And you even went to the trouble of offering five Mysterious Sun Pills in exchange. I've long heard that the Sages' disciples know their manners."

"Now that I've seen it for myself, I'm truly impressed. You certainly live up to being Grand Pure Sage's disciple."

Xuandan watched the East Sea Dragon King stuff the Mysterious Sun Pills into his robes.

The Dragon King's sly grin seemed oddly familiar.

The instant Xuandan gave away the Mysterious Sun Pills, the system's voice rang in his mind.

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You have gifted someone Mysterious Sun Pills and received a random return! ]

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! You have received a reward: 300,000 Years of Cultivation! ]

Xuandan couldn't help smiling too.

He now had 500,000 Years of Cultivation stored in his system inventory.

The Nirvana Divine Fire was an unexpected bonus, and it could enhance the Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame.

The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Nine Heavens Cloud Luan Carriage, was unmatched in both offense and defense.

This trip had been incredibly rewarding!

Thinking back to the journey to the Dragon Clan with Huanglong, he'd collected treasures the entire way.

Huanglong, on the other hand, hadn't gotten a single one...

Could Daoist Siwu's buff still be working on his senior brother, with all the benefits going to Xuandan instead?

As they left the Dragon Clan Treasury together, they were both smiling.

Huanglong had just arrived. He looked at Xuandan's somewhat strange gaze, unsure what to make of it.

He shook his head, put the distracting thoughts aside, and clasped his hands in greeting.

"My junior brother, you've helped me tremendously. Why not stay with the Dragon Clan a while longer?"

The East Sea Dragon King came to his senses and hurriedly chimed in.

"Exactly! My nephew is right. You're a benefactor to the Dragon Clan, young friend."

"This king must host a banquet to thank you properly."

Xuandan replied calmly,

"There's no need for a banquet. I do plan to stay with the Dragon Clan a little longer."

"I've just had an insight. Would you be able to lend me a place to meditate in seclusion, Dragon King?"

With 500,000 Years of Cultivation in hand, he was ready to break through to the Golden Immortal realm right here.

The East Sea Dragon King nodded repeatedly, grinning from ear to ear.

"Of course. I'll take you there myself."

The longer a disciple of Grand Pure Sage stayed with the Dragon Clan,

the less likely the Demon Race would dare to provoke them.

And it would be even better if he could find another chance to get a few Mysterious Sun Pills.

Xuandan knew what the East Sea Dragon King was thinking, but didn't mind. Wherever he went, his identity meant people would treat him differently. Rather than putting on a show of resisting it, he might as well enjoy the benefits it brought.

When he arrived at the place for seclusion, Xuandan gave a slight nod.

The Dragon Clan had given him their finest spiritual grounds.

He stepped into the cave dwelling and casually set up a warning formation.

Then he brought out the Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame, the Samadhi True Fire, and the Nirvana Divine Fire.

Threads of flame began extending from the Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame.

Before long, they had completely wrapped around the Samadhi True Fire and the Nirvana Divine Fire.

The crimson Blazing Heaven Fiery Flame continued to deepen in color.

Xuandan's eyes gleamed.

"Devour the sources of the Divine Fires, keeping their essence and discarding the dross."

He used 100,000 Years of Cultivation from the system, successfully devouring and refining the sources of both Divine Fires.
