Arrival at Burning Flame Valley, Here for the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes
Central Region of the Central Plains, Southwest Region.
Within this vast region lie two major powers: the Burning Flame Valley and the Music Valley, two of the Three Valleys.
Among them, the Burning Flame Valley has a larger sphere of influence, and most cities in this Southwest Region belong to the Burning Flame Valley.
Conversely, Music Valley's sphere of influence is far smaller than that of Burning Flame Valley.
However, Xiao Yan did not underestimate Music Valley because of this; on the contrary, he looked at him with even greater respect.
With fewer people and a smaller territory, the fact that it can still be ranked alongside Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley can only mean that Music Valley's overall strength is greater.
at this time.
In the Southwestern Region of the Central Region, Blazing Fire Mountain Range.
In the air, a spatial rift appeared, and Yao Lao and Xiao Yan emerged one after the other.
The Blazing Fire Mountain Range is the main base of the Burning Flame Valley. This Blazing Fire Mountain Range is entirely composed of volcanoes, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of crimson color.
In this Blazing Fire Mountain Range, the fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth is even more concentrated, allowing fire-attribute cultivators to cultivate more rapidly.
However, because the volcanoes here erupt frequently, the energy carries a violent aura.
"Yan'er, this is the main camp of Burning Flame Valley. Similar to our Star Meteor Pavilion, what we can see with our naked eyes is not the true place where Burning Flame Valley exists."
"Unlike our natural grand formation, Burning Flame Valley uses Spatial Barrier built and maintained by generations of valley masters as an isolation, which can completely remove the violent fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth here, allowing the disciples of Burning Flame Valley to absorb it."
"It's been many years since your master has been here." A hint of reminiscence flashed in the Yao Lao's eyes.
Next, Yao Lao led Xiao Yan down to the area between two crimson mountains.
Upon approaching, the Spatial Barrier began to appear.
With a slight manipulation of spatial power, Yao Lao opened a passage and led Xiao Yan inside.
The passageway was subsequently closed.
"Yan'er, wait a moment," Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan nodded.
Before long, several disciples of the Burning Flame Valley, dressed in uniform, appeared and looked at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan with serious expressions.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into our Burning Flame Valley?" the leading Burning Flame Valley disciple asked coldly.
"Your current Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley should be Tang Zhen, right? My name is Yao Chen. Tell him to come see me," Yao Lao said calmly.
"Tang Zhen?" The disciples of Burning Flame Valley were stunned.
They addressed their valley master by his first name without even asking; where did this seniority come from?
They had never heard of the name Yao Chen before.
The disciples of Burning Flame Valley exchanged glances. After a moment's thought, the leader said to the others, "You all stay here and guard the place. I'll go and inform the Valley Master."
With that, the disciple spread his Dou Qi Wings and flew away quickly.
Before long, a powerful aura rushed out from within the Burning Flame Valley.
In a short while, a somewhat withered old man with red hair appeared in front of Yao Lao and Xiao Yan.
The old man had come with doubts, but when he saw Yao Chen's face, he immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Venerable Yao?"
The Yao Lao looked Tang Zhen up and down, nodded, and smiled, "Five-Star Dou Venerate cultivation, not bad."
"The young man who used to follow that old fellow Huo Yun around has now reached this level of cultivation."
"Haha, we've been so fortunate to have the resources of the valley all these years. But Venerable Yao, I heard you were betrayed by Han Feng and surrounded by the Soul Hall. What's going on now...?" Tang Zhen asked curiously.
The Yao Lao had already taken a detached view of the matter, and smiled slightly, saying, "That incident almost cost me my life, but it also led me to my current disciple, Xiao Yan."
"My disciple went to great lengths to enable me to be resurrected."
Hearing what Yao Lao said, Tang Zhen shifted his attention to Xiao Yan.
He looked Xiao Yan up and down, and seeing that Xiao Yan was handsome, upright, and had a convincing demeanor, he nodded in approval and naturally felt a sense of goodwill towards him.
The only strange thing was that he couldn't sense Xiao Yan's cultivation level.
Considering that Xiao Yan was Yao Lao's disciple and might have some technique to conceal his aura, he didn't think too much about it.
Turning his gaze away, Tang Zhen said to Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, "Venerable Yao, young Xiao Yan, let's not chat here any longer. Please come with me into the valley."
Yao Lao and Xiao Yan nodded.
Led by Tang Zhen, and without any further obstacles, the three of them quickly arrived at the main hall of Burning Flame Valley.
To show his importance, Tang Zhen specially summoned the Second Elder and Third Elder of Burning Flame Valley, and even his daughter Tang Huo'er was not left out.
After all, Yao Lao is a genuine Peak Nine-Revolution Dou Venerate and Eighth-Rank Nine-Color Alchemist, and his influence is self-evident. It would be good to get to know him.
In the lobby.
Tang Zhen sat in the main seat, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan sat in the first and second seats on the left, while the Second Elder and third elders of Burning Flame Valley sat in the first and second seats on the right, and Tang Huo'er stood next to Tang Zhen.
"Venerable Yao, our Burning Flame Valley's Grand Elder is away on business, and Fire Cloud Ancestor is currently in seclusion. He is expected to emerge in about a month. Please forgive us," Tang Zhen said with a hint of apology.
Yao Lao nodded indifferently, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "That old fellow Huo Yun is still alive? Given his age... could it be that he has already broken through to the Dou Sheng?"
Tang Zhen smiled, neither denying nor admitting it, and dared not reveal that Fire Cloud Ancestor had suffered a hidden ailment due to his breakthrough to Dou Sheng.
Even though Yao Lao and Fire Cloud Ancestor had a very good relationship.
Tang Zhen changed the subject, saying, "Huo'er, this is the Venerable Yao, the number one Alchemist on the continent."
The person next to me is Xiao Yan, the disciple of the Venerable Yao. Quickly greet him.
Tang Huo'er was spoiled and willful, but she was never lacking in manners. She respectfully bowed to Yao Lao and said, "Greetings, Venerable Yao."
The Yao Lao nodded slightly.
Tang Huo'er looked at Xiao Yan again, and upon seeing Xiao Yan's handsome face, she was momentarily stunned, but then a competitive spirit surged within her.
There was no other reason than that Xiao Yan looked incredibly young, seemingly only twenty years old, even a few years younger than her.
She is now Nine-Star Dou Emperor, and breaking through to Dou Zong is only a matter of time. She is the most talented among the younger generation of Burning Flame Valley. In addition, her straightforward and frank personality has fostered a sense of pride and competitiveness. Now that she has seen Xiao Yan, she can't help but start comparing herself to him.
"Hello Xiao Yan, my name is Tang Huo'er, I 'Nine-Star Dou Emperor now, what about you?" Tang Huo'er's eyes sparkled, and she revealed a frank and bright smile.
Xiao Yan sized up Tang Huo'er, noting her excellent appearance, outstanding figure, and especially her rare personality—frank, straightforward, proud, strong-willed, and passionate, possessing a unique charm unlike any other woman.
Suddenly, Xun'er's words came to mind, and he immediately suppressed the slight admiration that had risen in his heart, instead giving Tang Huo'er a polite smile.
"Miss Tang's Heaven-Swallowing Talent is truly exceptional."
As for me, my cultivation level is barely sufficient.
Tang Huo'er responded with an "Oh~", assuming that Xiao Yan's cultivation was inferior to hers and that he was too embarrassed to say it, so she didn't press the matter further.
"Huo'er, don't be rude in this situation," Tang Zhen said with a gentle reprimand, but he couldn't bring himself to speak harshly to his beloved daughter.
He looked at Yao Lao and asked with a smile, "Venerable Yao, you have brought your disciples to our Burning Flame Valley this time. I wonder if you came to visit Fire Cloud Ancestor, or for some other reason?"
Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and said frankly, "I came for the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes."
