Fighting Qi Continent.
Tagor Desert.
It was near dusk. The setting sun cast its glow, and the evening clouds in the west reflected off the boundless desert, appearing uniquely beautiful and magnificent.
A hundred miles outside the Snake-People Saint City, deep within the Tagor Desert, beside a massive crater spanning several miles.
"Teacher, is this the place where you sensed the Heavenly Flame had disappeared?" Xiao Yan stood at the edge of the crater, looking down into the bottomless pit, and asked Yao Lao.
"Yes, this is the place. I once sensed the aura of five different flames here. Four of them were Heavenly Flames, and the last one seemed somewhat like the Beast Fire of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It is strange." Yao Lao mused slightly, feeling very puzzled in his heart. Being able to control four Heavenly Flames and one Beast Fire simultaneously was something that, in his impression, even a Dou Sheng could not achieve. Unless that person also cultivated the Flame Mantra, or there was more than one person holding the Heavenly Flames, or perhaps the Heavenly Flames had not been refined.
"Teacher, could the Heavenly Flame be inside this massive crater?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly asked.
Yao Lao shook his head: "There is no Heavenly Flame inside the crater."
"Then where is it? It couldn't possibly have been taken by someone already, right? Four Heavenly Flames—who has such a huge appetite? Could it be that Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Tribe?" Xiao Yan said with some impatience.
Ever since he started his training journey, he had spent several stifling months in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and during that time, he had nearly fallen victim to the Apes while suffering from diarrhea.
Afterward, he had rushed without rest to this godforsaken place, the Tagor Desert. Two or three months had passed, and while his cultivation was close to breaking through to a Dou Master, he hadn't even seen a single hair of the Heavenly Flame. There was less than a year left until the three-year agreement. He did not want to lose. He wanted to reclaim his lost dignity.
"Be patient. Heavenly Flames are not so easily found." Yao Lao comforted him: "However, you have reminded me. It is indeed possible for the Snake-People Tribe to possess a Heavenly Flame."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, "Teacher, is this true?"
"Yes. It is rumored that the Snake-People possess a secret technique that allows them to evolve by devouring Heavenly Flames and step into the Dou Zong Realm. The Snake-People Saint City is only a hundred miles from here. I imagine Queen Medusa could not have missed such a large commotion. Perhaps it contains a Heavenly Flame." Yao Lao voiced his speculation.
"Dou Zong." Xiao Yan gulped. The Realm divisions of the Fighting Qi Continent were Dou Zhi Qi, Dou Practitioner, Dou Master, Great Dou Master, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, etc. A Dou Wang was already a tycoon-level existence, and a Dou Huang was an overlord-level figure capable of sitting on equal footing with the Gama Royal Family and the Cloud Mist Sect. A Dou Zong could almost sweep across the entire Jia Ma Empire and even the surrounding countries.
"Alright, do not be discouraged. As long as you follow my training plan, you will eventually be able to step into this Realm in the future. Furthermore, Queen Medusa's evolution by devouring a Heavenly Flame is a life-or-death gamble. Perhaps we will be able to reap the benefits." Yao Lao encouraged him.
"Understood." Xiao Yan let out a long breath, calming the excitement in his heart, "Then Teacher, when shall we go over?"
"When Medusa evolves, the Snake-People Tribe will definitely hold a grand ceremony. We will sneak in then. However, before that, you still need to break through to a Dou Master. Otherwise, even if we find the Heavenly Flame, even if it is the lowest-ranked one, your body will not be able to withstand it." Yao Lao reminded him.
"I will work hard." Xiao Yan nodded heavily. Under the effect of the blood-burning medicine prepared by Yao Lao, his cultivation had already reached a nine-star Dou Practitioner. He believed that soon, he would be able to break through to a Dou Master.
When that time comes, Nalan Yanran, I will make you pay back the humiliation you gave me a hundredfold!
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.
After spending a few days coddling with Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall, Xiao Se returned to Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue. He used his Sharingan to control Xue Beng, Xue Xing, Emperor Xue Ye, and other members of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, clearing the obstacles for Qian Renxue's ascension to the throne.
By the way, after Xiao Se returned to Heaven Dou City, Yu Xiaogang was dragged off to the Avici Hell again. He forged a farewell letter in his room, making everyone in Shrek believe that he had left without saying goodbye, just like he had twenty years ago.
Afterward, Xiao Se gave the 'Hundred-Changing Puppet' he had drawn from the System to Qian Renxue, letting her bind it with her blood so that it could handle government affairs for her in the future, saving her a lot of time.
Above a massive waterfall dozens of miles outside Saint Spirit Village in the Fasinuo Province.
"Daddy, is this the place?" At this moment, Qian Renxue had changed back into her female attire and was hovering in the air with Xiao Se.
"Yes, let's go down." Xiao Se flapped his Evil God Wings, causing the waterfall below to part to the sides. His body slowly descended, and Qian Renxue followed closely behind. The two pushed open the giant rock portal under the waterfall and walked into the cave stone chamber inside. A Blue Silver Grass about a meter long with pale golden patterns came into view.
"Daddy, is this the Blue Silver Emperor?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.
"Yes, Tang Hao's wife, Tang San's mother." Xiao Se nodded, took out a jade basin he had prepared in advance to transplant it, and then walked to another corner of the stone chamber to find the iron box Tang Hao had hidden inside. Inside the iron box was the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver EmperorRight Leg Bone left behind by Ah Yin.
Stowing the Blue Silver Emperor into the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, Xiao Se said to Qian Renxue: "Let's go, Xue'er, come with me to the Fighting Qi Continent. Shasha wants to see you."
"I also want to see what Daddy's World is like." A hint of anticipation and excitement flashed in Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes. Anyway, there was a Hundred-Changing Puppet in the imperial city to handle government affairs for her, so there was no need to worry at all.
Xiao Se nodded slightly. To facilitate future teleportation, Xiao Se took Qian Renxue and flew quickly back to the Crown Prince Residence in Heaven Dou City before returning to the Fighting Qi Continent.
In Medusa's room in the Snake-People Saint City.
The space twisted abruptly, and Xiao Se stepped out from the Void Realm. Just as he was about to release Qian Renxue from the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, he saw Medusa lying on the bed taking a nap. Through the bed curtains, he could vaguely see Medusa's curvaceous and graceful figure.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth curled up. He suppressed his aura and walked toward Queen Medusa.
Silently lifting the bed curtains, Xiao Se pounced on her.
"Mm, mm." Queen Medusa woke up instantly, her eyes filled with panic. She wanted to scream, but found that her mouth had been completely blocked by Xiao Se.
Taking advantage of the moment to catch his breath, Xiao Se whispered sweet nothings: "Shasha, I missed you."
As he spoke, he reached out.
The moment his lecherous hand touched Medusa, Xiao Se clearly felt her body stiffen violently. A moment later, it returned to softness, and at this moment, Xiao Se realized something was wrong!
Sensing Medusa's cultivation again, Xiao Se was instantly given a big shock. Dou Huang Peak.
"You are Die!" Xiao Se jumped up abruptly, hurriedly putting on his pants that were only half off.
"Mm." Die's face turned beet red, and her gaze darted away. Her beautiful face was so red that it looked like it was about to drip blood.
"When did you come out of seclusion? Where is your sister?" Xiao Se wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his brow and asked two questions in a row to cover up his guilty conscience.
"I just came out of seclusion. I heard Yue'er say that sister went to meet a guest. I was waiting for her here, who knew you..." By the end, Die's voice had faded away completely, so much so that even Xiao Se couldn't hear it clearly.
