Heading to Burning Flame Valley
"Xin Lan, this place is rich in all kinds of Medicinal Herbs. You can refine Pills here. I can help you solve a crisis once, but I can't keep helping you forever. Improving your Pill Refining skills is the key." Xiao Yan said calmly.
Xin Lan nodded and said, "I understand, Senior Xiao Yan."
"If you have any problems with Pill Refining, you can also have Zi Yan and the Little Lion King take you to Gama Holy City to exchange ideas with Yue Er. Maybe you'll get some different perspectives," Xiao Yan said.
After Xiao Yan finished explaining, he walked to Zi Yan, who was pouting and looking a little unhappy, and stroked her little head to comfort her. "Don't worry, I'll be back very soon this time. It shouldn't take too long."
Xiao Yan couldn't take Zi Yan with him. Although the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations inheritance was said to have been created and left behind by his ancestor Xiao Xuan, that was all thousands of years ago. The current Xiao Clan is no longer the Xiao Clan of the past. Too many people might ruin things.
Zi Yan sighed and said, "I know. Come back quickly. If I finish all my candy pills, I'll have to eat bitter Medicinal Herbs."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile wryly. Is that all you're worried about!
Xiao Yan also greeted the Little Lion King and gave them the Flame Manipulation Skill, asking them to help deliver it to Heavenly Flame Venerable when they had time. After all, Heavenly Flame Venerable needed three types of Beast Flame to create Transformation Fire: the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Flame, Zi Yan's Dragon Flame, and the Nethersea Flood Dragon's Beast Flame, which was just enough.
After Xiao Yan stayed for a lunch made by Little Fairy Doctor, he used the Void Swallowing Flame to open a Space Wormhole.
"Be careful, remember to crush the Jade Token if you encounter danger," Little Fairy Doctor said with some worry.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Xiao Yan nodded, hesitated for a moment, gently hugged Little Fairy Doctor, and whispered, "I'll be back soon." Then he turned around and stepped into the Space Wormhole, leaving the Small Mountain Valley.
However, Xiao Yan didn't immediately rush to Central State. Instead, he quietly arrived at the Imperial Palace of the Snake-People Empire.
"Who!"
A ball of Black Flame appeared. As soon as Xiao Yan emerged from the void, he saw Hua She'er holding a weapon, on guard.
"Don't be nervous, it's me." Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the Black Flame.
"Xiao Yan Master!" When Hua She'er saw Xiao Yan's appearance and the Black Flame, she lowered her guard, but looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression. You didn't use the main gate, were you trying to sneak in?! Seeing Hua She'er's expression, Xiao Yan coughed awkwardly and said, "Where is Cai Medusa Queen?"
Xiao Yan asked because his Soul power couldn't find Cai Lin.
"Xiao Yan Master, are you looking for Your Majesty the Queen? It's bad timing. Her Majesty has been summoned by the four Elders, apparently to perform some kind of secret technique. It's estimated to take several days. Do you need me to inform her?" Hua She'er replied respectfully.
So soon they're starting to use the secret technique! Xiao Yan was shocked. Hearing this, he felt a mix of emotions in his heart. He naturally knew what this secret technique was.
Whether it was nervousness or something else, Xiao Yan's heart was a little uneasy at this moment.
"No need, I'm just here to send her some Pills. Just give them to her for me. Also, I'll be leaving the Northwest Region for a while soon, and I'll be back later. Please tell her for me." Since he couldn't see Cai Lin, Xiao Yan was naturally a little disappointed. He left some nourishing and life-saving Pills and handed them to Hua She'er.
"I understand, Xiao Yan Master. I will tell Her Majesty," Hua She'er said solemnly as she carefully took the Pills.
"Okay." After saying that, since Cai Lin wasn't there, Xiao Yan didn't say anything else. He opened the Space Wormhole again and began to head towards the southwest of Central State.
Seeing Xiao Yan disappear, Hua She'er looked strange and muttered, "Xiao Yan Master, could he be pursuing Her Majesty the Queen? He's giving gifts and explaining his whereabouts."
The matter between Xiao Yan and Cai Lin was, of course, top secret. If it were exposed, the entire Flame Alliance and even the Northwest Region would be shaken!
At this time, in the dark Space Tunnel, Xiao Yan's entire body was wrapped in the Black Flame of the Void Swallowing Flame. With these Black Flames, Xiao Yan could open Space Wormholes and freely travel through the void.
Xiao Yan took out the Map given by Ya Fei from his Storage Ring. This Map was very general, only roughly recording the location of Burning Flame Valley in Gama Holy City.
Xiao Yan had never been to Central State. He could only rely on Mao Wu's power to determine the specific direction and then head straight to Burning Flame Valley.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan possessed the Earth Sub-Flame of the Void Swallowing Flame. Otherwise, if he had to rely on Dou Qi wings to fly, he didn't know how long it would take.
"Even using Space Wormholes, this distance is very far." Xiao Yan traveled for half a day before barely leaving the sphere of influence of the Flame Alliance. One could imagine how vast the Flame Alliance's sphere of influence was now.
"This is too much of a waste of time. I need to find a tool." Xiao Yan frowned. Wasting time was wasting life. He still had many Dou Techniques he hadn't cultivated.
He wasn't worried about his cultivation level. As long as he had Pills and Strange Flame, he could rapidly improve his cultivation level by relying on the Burning Skill, but his Soul power had stagnated. In addition, he needed to study the gray Lightning Glow in his body.
Xiao Yan didn't want to waste the time it took to get to Burning Flame Valley.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yan took out the headless puppet from his Storage Ring, which Xiao Yan very mischievously called Xing Tian.
"This thing should work." Xiao Yan took out a Wooden Board and sat on it. With a thought, the puppet Xing Tian seemed to have its own consciousness. It raised its hands and held up the Wooden Board, supporting Xiao Yan.
With a whoosh, Mao Wu jumped out of Soul Collection and sat on Xiao Yan's lap.
Meow! (Let's go!) Mao Wu meowed and pointed forward with its paw. The headless puppet began to run in the void tunnel!! Yes, it started running!!
"Hahahaha, good! No wonder those people buy a Space Ship when they use Space Wormholes. Having a navigation tool allows you to do other things." Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
A headless puppet held up Xiao Yan and actually ran in the void tunnel! This ridiculous scene was hard not to laugh at.
However, Xiao Yan quickly calmed down and took out the Emperor Seal Technique scroll that Xun Er had asked Ling Ying to bring him.
"Hopefully, I can cultivate the Earth Overturning Seal before arriving at Burning Flame Valley. The fourth seal, the Heaven Annihilation Seal, and the final Ancient Emperor Seal will have to wait a bit longer."
Although the Emperor Seal Technique is only an Earth Rank High-Level Dou Technique, its profundity should not be judged solely by its rank. After all, the original Emperor Seal Technique's power was definitely more than just Earth Rank High-Level, and it was created by a Dou Di.
Even the passage of time is impossible to discern within the Space Wormhole; one can only rely on powerful Soul perception to probe the situation outside the tunnel to judge the time.
Except for the occasional times when Xiao Yan would leave the Space Wormhole to feast in the wilderness or rest and sleep, he spent most of his days in the Space Wormhole.
In this dark, lightless Space Tunnel, a bronze-colored figure flashed past. On top of it, a black-robed youth formed hand seals like a machine, and waves of terrifying Dou Qi fluctuations emanated from the hand seals.
After more than ten days, suddenly one day, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and with a thought, Xing Tian stopped.
"I've been able to sense very rich Fire Attribute energy since just now... After so long, perhaps we should have arrived at the Scorching Volcano Mountain Range." Xiao Yan muttered to himself.
Stepping out of the Space Wormhole, Xiao Yan stood in the air and looked out. Not far away, a mountain range appeared, completely composed of scorching volcanoes.
As far as the eye could see, it was a monotonous expanse of crimson. From the tops of some peaks, thick white smoke constantly rose, and occasionally, lava would overflow from them.
Xiao Yan even heard the sound of a volcano erupting in the distance.
"A mountain range composed of a group of active volcanoes... This should be it. This is the famous Scorching Volcano Mountain Range, and Burning Flame Valley is located here!" A hint of excitement appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. The journey of more than ten days had indeed been quite tiring.
If he reached Dou Zong or even Dou Zun, he wouldn't need so much time.
"Such rich Fire Attribute Heaven and Earth energy. Cultivating Fire Attribute Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques here will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. No wonder the Central State's forces are so powerful; it's all thanks to this unique environment."
Xiao Yan's gaze swept into the distance, and he saw what looked like a fiery red line appearing at the end of his vision. This fiery red line was extremely majestic, and one couldn't see its end at a glance.
"I wonder what kind of cultivation environment the legendary Dou Di family's Small World will have." Xiao Yan clenched his fist and murmured, "I now have the strength to come to Central State. Once I win the Pill Gathering championship and master the Emperor Soul Skill, I will come to the Ancient Realm to find you!"
Having arrived in Central State for the first time, Xiao Yan couldn't help but think of the woman who had been by his side since he was a child. To gain power, Xiao Yan even went so far as to join the Soul Palace; he only wanted to prove that he was worthy of her!
"Huh? Why are you fading?" Just as Xiao Yan was about to put Xing Tian away, he turned his head and noticed that the bronze color on the puppet's body seemed to be peeling off, and some places revealed a faint silvery-white color.
"That's not right... Silver... This is an Earth Demon Puppet?!" Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he used his Soul power to scan the entire puppet, muttering, "Could it be because it's been running in the Space Wormhole all this time, and it's been polished by Space Power?"
"There's even this benefit!"
This was an unexpected surprise for Xiao Yan. He didn't expect that he just wanted to find a means of transportation, but he could actually have his puppet polished! He patted Xing Tian and laughed, "Not bad, it should be around a five or six star Dou Zong now, enough to barely hold its own."
After putting away the puppet, the problem that stumped Xiao Yan came.
Where is this Burning Flame Valley, and how am I supposed to enter it?! "Hehe, everyone, this is the Scorching Volcano Mountain Range, and the headquarters of Burning Flame Valley is located within it."
A hearty laugh came from the forest below, "The Fire Attribute energy in the Scorching Volcano Mountain Range is extremely abundant, but because of the constant volcanic eruptions, it carries some wildness. So even if you have the opportunity to enter Burning Flame Valley, if you want to absorb it, you must remove the wildness from the energy, otherwise, cultivating for too long may affect your mind."
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked at the small team below. His eyes darted around as he thought, "Could today be the day that Burning Flame Valley is recruiting students?!"
