Chapter 52: The Touched Queen

Thinking of the technique that Jiang Xing was currently practicing, which could continue to evolve, Jiang Cheng asked, "Xing'er, what level has your technique evolved to now?"

"Grandpa, I have refined five strange fires, and now the level of my skills has evolved to the quasi-heaven level."

Jiang Xing naturally had nothing to hide from his grandfather. Hiding secrets from your loved ones is undoubtedly foolish.

Jiang Cheng nodded. "It seems that you are lucky. You actually found five strange fires."

Jiang Cheng felt relieved knowing that his grandson's martial arts had evolved to the quasi-heavenly level.

"Grandpa also asked around for you. In addition to the Doudi family's strange fire, there are two strange fires in Zhongzhou. One is the inherited strange fire of the Burning Flame Valley, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, and the other is the Three Thousand Flames sealed in the star field by the Dan Tower."

"The Nine-Dragon Thunder Fire of the Burning Flame Valley is easy to obtain, but it has been branded with an indelible blood and soul mark in the origin of the fire by the powerful men of the Burning Flame Valley. Unless one practices the Burning Flame Valley's valley-stabilizing technique, the *Blue Netherworld Nether Flame Art*, even if one obtains it, one will not be able to absorb and refine it."

Jiang Xing asked doubtfully, "With your strength, Grandpa, you can't erase the blood soul mark?"

"That mark was left by the old ancestor Fen Yan. Even grandpa is not sure he can erase it."

"Ancestor Fen Yan?" Jiang Xing asked, unfamiliar with the name.

Jiang Cheng explained, "Ancestor Fen Yan is known as one of the five most powerful ancient people, along with Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, Emperor Hun Tian, ​​and Ancestor Danta. His realm is the late Nine-Star Dou Sheng."

With a mark left by the Nine-Star Dou Sheng and reinforced by generations of Burning Flame Valley powerhouses, it seemed impossible to absorb this Nine-Dragon Thunder Fire.

"I just don't know if it can be used to fuse strange fires," Jiang Xing thought aloud.

"As for Danta's Three Thousand Flames, Grandpa can get it, but this will make us enemies with Danta..."

Jiang Cheng felt a little ashamed, knowing that as a six-star Dou Sheng, he couldn't even find a strange fire for his grandson.

Seeing his grandfather's expression, Jiang Xing hurriedly comforted him. "Grandpa, the Nine-Dragon Thunder Fire is only ranked twelfth. Even if I absorb it, it won't improve me much."

"As for the Three Thousand Flames, we can go for it if the opportunity arises; otherwise, forget it."

Although Jiang Xing knew he could participate in the Danhui to get a chance, the Dan Tower had not released that information yet. He could only comfort his grandfather for now.

In order to prevent his grandfather from continuing to dwell on the matter, Jiang Xing changed the subject.

"Grandpa, I need your help with something."

"Oh? What is it?" Jiang Cheng asked, curious.

"Zi Yan is actually the daughter of the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. The Dragon Emperor is trapped in a certain place and cannot escape. Now, the four major Dragon Islands of the Taixu Ancient Dragon are divided. I want Grandpa to help East Dragon Island unify the clan so Zi Yan can become the new Dragon Emperor."

"Zi Yan is the daughter of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Emperor?" Jiang Cheng was surprised by her identity.

"Xing'er, this Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is the overlord of the Warcraft world. Just relying on grandpa may not be enough..."

Jiang Cheng understood the strength of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

"As the overlord of the Warcraft world, my strength as a six-star Dou Sheng might not be enough to influence them," Jiang Cheng said thoughtfully.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I've learned from their Dragon Emperor that, except for East Dragon Island, the three rebellious Dragon Islands only have three-star Dou Shengs at their strongest. East Dragon Island also has two two-star Dou Shengs. With your strength as a late six-star Dou Sheng, we can easily defeat them."

Knowing what his grandfather was worried about, Jiang Xing explained and praised him.

"Only three-star Dou Shengs?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised that the Taixu Ancient Dragons, the dominant force of the Warcraft world, were so weak.

In order to further convince his grandfather, Jiang Xing said, "Grandpa, I believe some of the ancient Taixu Dragons don't want to get involved in the internal fighting and are hiding in the void. Zi Yan possesses the true blood of the Dragon King. If we help her, they won't interfere."

"Since their strongest is only a three-star Dou Sheng, there will be no problem," Jiang Cheng agreed.

Jiang Xing then inquired about his parents. "Grandpa, have Father and Mother not come out yet?"

Jiang Cheng replied, "The last time I checked, it should be soon."

After chatting with his grandfather for a while, Jiang Xing mentioned he was tired and wanted to rest.

Out of respect for Cai Lin, Jiang Cheng arranged separate rooms for her and Jiang Xing.

Medusa returned to her room and remembered the ring Jiang Cheng had given her. Curious, she took out the storage ring and probed it with her soul power. One glance left her shocked.

The storage ring was filled with various cultivation resources. She had thought what Jiang Xing gave her before was a lot, but the resources in this ring were even more plentiful.

Medusa felt a mix of surprise and gratitude. Visiting her partner's family for the first time, she felt truly valued.

...

After saying goodbye to his grandfather, Jiang Xing didn't return to his room but instead sneaked into Cai Lin's room.

"Jiang Xing," Cai Lin whispered, worried that his grandfather might find out.

Sensing her concern, Jiang Xing reassured her, "It's fine. Grandpa won't know."

Though still a little worried, Cai Lin couldn't resist Jiang Xing. Soon, a "battle" ensued in her room.

Jiang Xing knew that they couldn't immediately set out to unify Dragon Island, so he stayed with Cai Lin for a few days, explaining the current situation.

Cai Lin appreciated how Jiang Xing took care of her feelings, and after a few days, she gently encouraged him, "You and Grandpa should go help Zi Yan unify Dragon Island first. I'm fine here."

"There's no rush. I'll stay with you a little longer."

Touched by his care, Cai Lin smiled but insisted, "I'm serious. Go handle things first. I'll be waiting for you."

Jiang Xing, feeling how much gentler Cai Lin had become, finally agreed. "Alright, but I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

"Good!" Cai Lin nodded, and Jiang Xing kissed her forehead before leaving.
