Dark Flames in the Sea of Red Flames (1)

Though Shi Xi had a talent that could rival Immortals in the path of Sword in cultivation her talent was just above average and with just cultivating normally she won't be becoming an immortal anytime soon

Though she could also ask Mu Chen for help, she also had her pride and wanted to achieve what she wanted on her own

That's why she worked hardest just in hope that she will be able to live with Mu Chen and others

The love she had in her heart for Mu Chen was unquestionably a legend in itself, the flame of that love won't let her rest even after she died that's why she wanted to live with Mu Chen with peace in her heart

So to increase her lifespan she decided to seclude herself for a long time and try her hardest in the path of cultivation this time

Mu Chen understood everything and didn't say anything and returned to his peaceful daily life

Another 32 years have passed like flash and finally the balance in world had somewhat returned because of Mu Chen keeping low profile for the last 5 decades

Mu Chen reached the perfect stage 4 of Martial Transcendent Realm and fully mastered all the 7 Immortal Sword Techniques

He also mastered footwork, alchemy to grade 5 Immortal Alchemist level and just stepped at level of Immortal Formation Master

He also had knowledge of grade 7 Immortal Painter but he didn't practice anything till now but even with just knowledge and no experience he was still better than all peoples of mortal world

Well of course there is a chance that suddenly some random reincarnation of Immortal Painter may pop out among them

But no! Not in this novel... For now I guess... 🤔

Shi Xi was still in seclusion trying her hardest, Mu Chen provided her some spiritual stones from time to time

And Bai Ze and Spyro also showed incredible progress they also managed to reach peak Demon Emperor Realm

But as the Demon Transcendent realm is almost the same as the Martial Transcendent, Mu Chen suggested they wait till they perfect their cultivation

Until they reach the limit of their present cultivation they were forbidden to break through to Demon Transcendent realm

Also their bloodline is showing the effect, Spyro's body has traces of dragon scales all over it and he can now become as big as 200 meters

And at present almost 17% of his bloodline had been awakened and after the next break through it was possible to unlock a huge part of the bloodline and transform his whole race

Bai Ze's chest and neck furs had turned much fluffy and creamy while his horns and eyes have become much darker

The furs around the stomach and back have also become quite dense in strange shape

His bloodline had been awakened by more than 21% after absorbing the treasures Mu Chen gave him

Her eyes are filled with great wisdom and calmness, she looks more like a sage than the monks in wild

And finally after so many years the special system notification rang again

[Potential Disciples have been detected!]

[The 2nd Protagonist has awakened!]

As soon as the notification rang Mu Chen's ears rose high in air and he looked at a huge map of the place with grin on face

Mu Chen was currently sleeping on his purple tree on top of a cliff while Bai Ze was sleeping on the ground in the shadow of the tree

Spyro was coiling his body around the branch tree near Mu Chen

Mu Chen suddenly stood up after hearing the notification and tapped Spyro's head

Spyro immediately shrunk and coiled around Mu Chen's wrist and with Spyro, Mu Chen rushed towards the direction of the future disciples

Bai Ze saw this with his one eye open and ignored it and started sleeping again as if nothing happened

On the other hand Mu Chen was flying in direction of his future disciples in super sonic speed leaving shockwaves and separated clouds behind him

And it didn't take much time to arrive at the edge of Western Continent where his future disciples were staying but their first meeting doesn't look like a peaceful one

As Mu Chen arrived there he felt a sensation of sadness, his senses and emotions were far more stronger than mortals

And what he saw before him left him a sudden storm of emotions inside his mind, all excitement disappeared from his face and now there was only look of deep emotions on his face

"So it's the truth... The origin of birth heroes and villains is always the same...

... Pain and suffering...

The one that gets praised after pain is called a hero and the one who is forgotten is called...

... A Villain..."

After Mu Chen arrived at the place according to the system's map it was already night time but unlike how he imagined the whole place was filled with sea of red flames

The whole place that looked like a country side village was burning with bright flames, the place was covered with various dead corpses

Many kids who weren't even 10 years old were orphaned, lost their parents

They were crying over their dead family shouting for them to wake up from their sleep, but there was no way to wake them up from eternal sleep

Many adults were also seen crying over their dead children, parents, friends or relatives in front of their corpses

They banged their heads on the ground just in hope they would awaken from the death

Mu Chen spotted two twin siblings just 5-6 years old hugging each other with dead and hopeless eyes with tears flowing like a river from their eyes and the reason for the scene was clear to Mu Chen

He saw an angry man who had clearly lost all sanity after losing his loved one shouting and trying to attack a guard in front of him

"Why did you do this!? Fuckers! I won't forgive you! You killed my wif-!? Ugh!!!"

But he was clearly not strong enough to do any damage to the guards, instead of attacking the guard he himself received a hard punch in stomach

"Don't resent me so much... It's your fault for hiding the evil cultivator in your village... The patriarch of Yang Clan has ordered us to kill all of you..."

As the guard finished his words and he waved his spear towards the man with intention of taking his life but just then

"... And what right do they have to decide who is innocent and who is not?"

Mu Chen suddenly appeared behind the guard and without even waiting reaction sliced the guard into two parts

The other guards noticed this immediately, they got cautious and rushed towards the direction of Mu Chen

Mu Chen wasn't interested in such things and next moment a giant white Serpent appeared from his hands

"What the fuck is that!? Is it a monster-!?"

"Wha-!?"

"Who dares to attack the people of Yang Cla-!!!"

"Ughff-;"

The guards weren't even able to finish their words before Spyro swallowed each of them in a matter of seconds
