Chapter 26: The Snake People Move to Yunlan Mountain

The Yunlan Sect was built on Yunlan Mountain, just a few dozen miles away from the imperial capital. The two locations were very close to each other, like two massive beasts facing one another.

Jiang Xing and the Great Elder, along with several Dou Wang warriors, arrived at the Yunlan Sect. 

This place, which countless young practitioners in the empire had dreamed of joining, was now deserted. 

Jiang Xing knew that these people had already fled.

In the past, as the strongest sect in the Jia Ma Empire, the Yunlan Sect naturally had many enemies. 

However, the Yunlan Sect was stronger than its adversaries, so they dared not retaliate. 

But now, with all the strong men of the Yunlan Sect having died in that battle, the saying "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it" became reality. 

Those enemies would not let the Yunlan Sect off the hook. 

The disciples of the Yunlan Sect understood this and did not dare to stay any longer, so they left one after another.

Afterward, to eradicate the threat completely, Jiang Xing and his men went to the imperial palace.

The snake people not only killed Jia Xingtian and Yao Ye but also countless soldiers during the war. 

The hatred between the Gama royal family and the snake people was irreconcilable. 

Given this, why not eliminate the threat completely?

Jiang Xing and the Great Elder killed all the members of the Gama royal family, looted the palace treasury, and then left.

That's right, they left. The Great Elder had initially wanted to rule the empire but later abandoned the idea. 

Humans would never allow snake people to rule the empire.

Moreover, the deal between Jiang Xing and the queen was merely to provide the snake people with a suitable habitat, with no mention of ruling an empire.

After three days of relocation, the snake people finally moved to Yunlan Mountain.

However, one thing gave Jiang Xing a headache: the snake people had moved, but the space channel built by his grandfather couldn't be moved...

Oh well, the Tagor Desert isn't far from here anyway.

At this time, Ji Feng also returned with the skills and people needed to teach Qing Lin from the Tianshe Mansion.

The woman Ji Feng brought back to teach Qing Lin was named Ye Qing, a two-star Dou Huang.

Jiang Xing then called Qing Lin over.

In the past few days, Qing Lin had broken through from a two-star fighter to a three-star fighter through practice. Her talent was indeed terrifying.

If Qing Lin's current strength could only control the two-headed fire snake, Jiang Xing would have asked Ji Feng to take her to control more snake monsters.

When Qing Lin arrived, Jiang Xing first gave her the technique to cultivate the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, then informed her that this female Dou Huang would be responsible for her training from now on.

Qing Lin naturally agreed to Jiang Xing's arrangement.

Having been bullied since childhood, Qing Lin was very grateful to Jiang Xing, who had ensured no one bullied her since they met.

She practiced hard, hoping to assist Jiang Xing in the future.

Jiang Xing reminded Qing Lin to practice well with Ye Qing and then dismissed her.

After Qing Lin left, Jiang Xing summoned Zi Yan, gave her some pills, and then prepared to enter seclusion.

Because Jiang Xing feared he couldn't fully control the strange fire he absorbed, he always waited a while after each absorption to become proficient in controlling it.

It had been many days since he last absorbed a strange fire, and now he could proceed.

He currently had two strange fires in his possession: the Sea Heart Flame, ranked 15th on the Strange Fire List, and the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, ranked 11th.

Jiang Xing took out the Sea Heart Flame.

This Sea Heart Flame was a deep blue flame that looked extremely mysterious. As it rose, it spread out like clear seawater, with faint ripples resembling waves.

The Sea Heart Flame was born in the depths of the sea, and its flame flowed like seawater, allowing it to blend with water. It was very magical.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan didn't use any elixir when absorbing the Sea Heart Flame.

However, to be safe, Jiang Xing asked the alchemist in his family to refine a Xueqing Pill, specifically taken when absorbing the Sea Heart Flame.

After adjusting his state, Jiang Xing first swallowed the Xueqing Pill, then skillfully separated the original fire of the Sea Heart Flame and swallowed it in one gulp.

He focused his mind on his body and felt the familiar burning pain again.

But perhaps due to the Xueqing Pill or because his strength had increased, the burning pain this time was much lighter than when he absorbed the Fallen Heart Flame.

This Sea Heart Flame was separated from Han Feng's body, so it had no intelligence, sparing Jiang Xing the trouble of destroying it.

This was Jiang Xing's third time refining a strange fire, and his operation was smooth and seamless.

He used his fighting spirit to push the Sea Heart Flame's original fire through his meridians and directly practiced the Burning Technique. After letting the Sea Heart Flame circulate through the meridians for a week, he quickly refined it.

The next step was the process of fusing the strange fire.

Although fusing strange fire is challenging, Jiang Xing had some experience.

Following the same steps as when he fused the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and the Fallen Heart Flame, he didn't encounter any problems.

Jiang Xing controlled the Burning Decision Fighting Qi and input it into the emerald green flame and the dark blue flame, finally beginning the fusion.

Time flew by, passing silently.

A month later, Jiang Xing's fusion of the strange fire was finally successful.

The original emerald green flame and dark blue flame had merged into a cyan flame.

After the fusion was complete, Jiang Xing's realm barely broke through from a one-star Dou Zong to a three-star Dou Zong, and the level of the Burning Decree advanced from the high Xuan level to the mid Di level.

Hai Xinyan's ranking on the list of strange fires was relatively low, but a two-star realm increase and a two-level Burning Decree increase were within Jiang Xing's expectations.

The Bone Spirit Cold Fire in his possession had a higher ranking. In the original novel, it allowed Xiao Yan to break through from a two-star Dou Zun to a four-star Dou Zun, but Jiang Xing didn't dare to absorb it!

With his current three-star Dou Zong strength, absorbing the Bone Spirit Cold Fire was too risky. One mistake could be fatal.

To be safe, Jiang Xing decided to keep the Bone Spirit Cold Fire and absorb it after breaking through to the Dou Zun level.

Alas, I have the strange fire in my hand, but I can't absorb it.

How can I quickly improve my strength?

In the original book, he absorbed all the strange fires he could, and the others were either unobtainable or impossible to absorb.

Jiang Xing kept recalling what opportunities and treasures existed in the original book.

Tianshan Blood Pool? It wouldn't be of much use to him.

Void Thunder Pool? He had neither a thunder attribute nor a devouring attribute.

Heavenly Tomb? Forget it. The eight tribes would never allow an outsider in.

What else?

Suddenly, Jiang Xing remembered—doesn't the Yunlan Sect have a Gate of Life and Death?

There wasn't much description of the Gate of Life and Death in the original novel. He only knew that the Gate of Life and Death was where successive leaders of the Yunlan Sect trained before ascending to their positions.

It seemed Yun Yun had passed through this Gate of Life and Death, quickly raising her realm to Dou Huang, and then directly taking over as leader of the Yunlan Sect.

Perhaps this Gate of Life and Death could also help him quickly improve his realm!
