Chapter 61: Xian Wu's Convincing Argument!

"What?"

---

Xian Wu's brows furrowed slightly.

"That's Xian Yan's opportunity. Old Man within his ring has come!"

Xian Yue let out a chuckle, marking this old man had no intention of taking Xian Yan in the manner of the Feihua Sword Emperor; he was offering a great opportunity instead.

"That is for the better; otherwise, he would have had to get involved!"

"I can feel a faint Emperor Grade aura emanating!"

"Could it be an Emperor Grade Heaven and Earth Fire?"

What's Xian Yan doing? Is he trying to gulp down this Heaven and Earth fire?

Xian Wu was taken aback. What level of cultivation did this boy possess? He was audacious enough to try swallowing such a formidable foreign fire. Wasn't that a risk of getting the body scorched?

Just as he was about to leave, Xian Yue stopped him. "Wait on, father. That's only an Emperor Grade strange fire. How will it backfire on Xian Yan?"

"Why is that so?" Xian Wu questioned, puzzled.

"Xian Yan has an innate Immortal Grade flame. The fire the old man offers him is merely Emperor Grade. Compared to his Innate Grade flame, the Emperor Grade fire can only be entirely suppressed. It has no chance of resistance!"

Xian Yue continued to explain.

"An Immortal Grade innate fire? Does that mean Xian Yan can now display combat power like an immortal?" Xian Wu was stunned.

"That is not particularly accurate. The power of the innate flame grows with the cultivator's level. Of course, at this point, in terms of strength, the Golden Emperor Dragon Flame would not be close to the Emperor Grade strange fire; however, it has overwhelmingly surpassed it in terms of grade.".

This is not unlike the bloodlines in the Monster Race; a stronger-grade bloodline can crush a weaker one, regardless of the difference in strength!

"But if he ingests that Emperor Grade strange fire, his Cultivation can shoot through the roof too fast, which could be disastrous!" Xian Yue furrowed his eyebrows.

At present, Xian Yan was only at the Soul formation realm, and the power embedded in the Emperor Grade strange fire was immense. He could leap through several major realms in an instant, leading to a precarious instability in his foundation!

"I'll go check on him. If necessary, I'll seal the energy within the strange fire so that he does not advance too many realms at once!"

After saying this, Xian Wu vanished.

Inside the room where Xian Yan was, a gray-robed elder stood with a translucent body expression that was heavy with gravity: "Young one, after staying in your ring for three years and absorbing your energy, I present you with this irregular fire as compensation. Do you still want to intake this 'Dark Ghost Flame'? It's an Emperor Grade flame.".

"The energy in it is so powerful that it's beyond imagination and may even strike back. Even I may not be able to save you at that time!"

"Mr. Ghost, my decision has been made! If it could increase my cultivation as speedily as this, a little danger is nothing important! Besides, I can feel that this kind of fire won't hurt me!

Over these years, Xian Xiantian had given him much information regarding his mother, so that now he craved to meet the woman whom he had never known. She lived in the starry sky far, far away from him, and to see her again, he urgently needed to enhance his strength.

This Emperor Grade exotic fire was just what he needed!

"Can you actually end your future just to see your mother sooner? If you do, how sad is she going to feel when she knows that the talented son she conceived was trading his future for her sake?"

Right as Xian Yan was going to let out the Golden Emperor Dragon Flame and consume the dark ghostly flame, he suddenly heard a voice in his ears.

"Uncle Wu?"

Xian Yan was shocked and pushed himself from the futon, bending toward Xian Wu, who had entered his room without warning.

The old ghost floating by Xian Yan was shocked too. He hadn't sensed the other's arrival at all!

Though he was just a shred of a soul, he had once been an elite; and, despite being a mere remnant, his soul was far beyond ordinary remnants-at least on par with those at the Law Manifestation Realm. What didn't he feel this newcomer's existence?

Must his be cultivation stronger than this realm?

"Not to be! Such a powerful individual shouldn't appear in a place like this!"

"I know you are willing to go very far to get stronger. You could take in that strange fire from Emperor Grade to boost, but if you do that, you stand by the risk of losing your foundation."

Do you ever think about when you finally see your mom and she finds out that her talented son has blown his future because of her-won't she take that guilt to her grave?

Xian Wu's tone was tight. Xian Yan was the key star in the Xian family, and he wouldn't let him be so blatant with his decision.

"I know, but…"

Xian Yan lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly.

"What is it?"

Xian Wu did not seem to understand Xian Yan's hesitance.

"It's just that I fear the time to train and roam through the stars will take forever. I'm afraid…".

"What are you afraid of? Afraid something would happen to your mother?"

Xian Wu's voice was deepened. "That is to say, there's nothing to concern you with. Your father once, after drinking, told fragments of your mother's identity. Do you know what it means 'to be the Emperor's Daughter'?"

"What? The Emperor's Daughter? Is my mother the Emperor's Daughter?"

Gui Lao blurted out in shock while looking at Xian Yan.

"My father said that the people who came from the stars to kidnap my mother called her the 'Emperor's Daughter.' What's the matter, Old Ghost?"

That old ghost had also mentioned he descended from the starry sky. Did he comprehend what 'Emperor's Daughter' might refer to?

"Do you know what that means? In the great universe, only the daughters of mighty emperors can be entitled the Emperor's Daughter."

"Look up to the aureate list of heaven hanging in the sky. She is the daughter of one of the second to eleventh most powerful beings. Do you have an idea of what it means now?"

Gui Lao's face was filled with confusion and disbelief. The boy before him was a descendant of an Emperor's Daughter? That meant he was related to some Great Emperor!

Had he ever been a legendary figure in the Supreme Realm, but he had never met any Great Emperors in his life. They were beings much stronger than him, far beyond his ambitions.

 "The Emperor's Daughter?"

Xian Yan's fists clenched up. That meant that finding his mother would be even harder?

"But at least this means your mother is safe. No one in the universe would dare to maltreat her. And with your talent, if you truly set out to train yourself, you could at best reach the level of Great Emperor in ten years at most.".

You could walk through the emptiness without a care, even stand against a Great Emperor. What is there to fear?

Xian Wu comforted him, patting Xian Yan on the shoulder.

"Well, Fellow Daoist, even if you're trying to comfort the boy, you shouldn't lie to him. This world can only fit nine Great Emperors at the same time. Unless one of them dies!"

The old ghost interrupted, pulling from his knowledge from the starry sky, believing he knew more than the monks in such a small area.

"Ah? Is that so? Then how did the fifth-ranked Great Emperor end up like this?"

"Uh! Let me think, this….".
