Chapter 1453

It moves, constantly overflowing from within.

Puff! Puff!

In the center of the stone‑filled plaza, where voices roared, low sounds suddenly rang out again.

As the sounds rose, the wormhole area began to ripple with violent spatial fluctuations.

Figures streaked straight out from it, then fell haphazardly onto the plaza.

"Huh, finally reached the Central Realm."

Landing on the ground, Lin Feng immediately inhaled a breath of fresh outside air and gazed at the bustling surroundings.

Seems weak.

But, unlike the many crowded factions.

Golden Body. At the far southern edge.

It became neighbors with the families inside the Great Western Desert.

The reason, naturally, is related to the Golden Body method.

This sect focuses on cultivating the flesh body.

At the same time, it established the sect here.

It is also related to their sect's treasure, the Earth Tier advanced tempering‑body combat technique, the Ten Thousand Steel Body Forging Manual.

Although this combat technique makes the flesh body extremely strong.

Cultivators of the same level find it hard to wound.

This gives Golden Body sect disciples a great advantage.

However, in the southwest, where this technique is practiced, there happen to be many metallic‑type beast families.

Thus, the Golden Body's acquisition of gold is a distasteful matter.

Because this sect is so powerful, they also possess beast and spirit blood.

This makes the place attract many merchants and mercenaries.

These combined reasons caused the southwestern border of the Western Wilderness to become densely populated in a short time.

And the number of people hunting metallic beasts is also...

Thus they abandoned their own territories and fled deeper into the desert to reside.

Only a small portion of powerful beast families remain here.

"Before that, when the time comes, you two..."

It seemed they didn't ask about the different cities.

Previously those cities mostly used walls to block sandstorms.

They only sealed a small area at the top to prevent sand from entering.

But the city before Lin Feng's eyes has no walls at all.

At a glance, the bustling crowd on the streets is clearly visible.

However, Lin Feng can vaguely sense...

In the bustling plaza, someone laughed.

He bowed with clasped fists.

After all, he is one of the eight great Elders of Shengta, his status is comparable.

Even for him, the five great families must treat him courteously.

"Leaf family representative, Elder Lin Feng."

After this elder appeared, he did not offend himself.

Therefore, Lin Feng also saved face.

"Hehe, you, a youthful genius of the Dou Zong realm surpassing the Elder, have been quite renowned in the Pillar Realm lately."

Elder Sheng stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

"Just a minor scuffle, Elder Sheng's discerning eye."

Hearing that, Lin Feng said.

"How can it be a minor scuffle when you dare to strike people at will."

"And that was merely a novice Dou Zong white hawk, a six‑star Dou Zun and a four‑star Dou Zun strongman, yet the opponent still acted disrespectfully toward me."

I didn't expect the former to be not scared at all.

"You wait for me!" his anger was about to burst out of his chest.

But due to his own strength and the venue, he was slightly surprised.

Earlier they had only heard that Lin Feng possessed great strength, but from the aura just now,

If they truly fought Lin Feng, they would probably all be unable to win even together.

"Since there are no issues, let's begin today's assessment."

Elder Sheng ignored the conflict between Lin Feng and the white hawk, and stepped back slowly.

Behind him was an object covered by a black cloth.

He then pulled the black cloth away, revealing a transparent stone tablet about a zhang tall, looking like crystal.

"Our assessment consists of three parts, and the first part is Soul Testing." Soul, only then possessing sufficient soul perception and soul manipulation.

At this point, Elder Sheng turned his gaze toward Cao Ying.

But at this moment she still gave a calm stare, showing no change.

"Hehe, since everyone knows the rules, then, who will go first?"

Elder Sheng then smiled at Lin Feng and the five others.

As the preceding sound fell, the man named Qiu for Qiuji immediately took the lead and walked out.

Then they lightly placed their palm, slightly closed their eyes, and breathed.

This number has already been required.

Before this, Baiying placed his palm on the stone tablet, and soul power surged out violently.

"Beep beep beep!" one could reach that person speaking to the former.

In that case, then we will now pass Lin Feng, his eyes immediately lit up, excitedly said.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian and the Heaven Fire Venerable both nodded, indicating no problem.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately led the way, likewise.

Blazing Flame Valley, located in the Scorching Fire Mountain Range.

This mountain range is entirely composed of scorching volcanoes, forming colorful smoke and mist.

Occasionally, molten lava will overflow and fall here, a factor.

As for the rest, it is entirely due to this mountain range's harsh environment.

Although the environment here is not particularly pleasing, the fire-attribute energy is extraordinarily rich.

Fire-attribute cultivators training here will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, even knowing this place is quite dangerous.

Yet many cultivators still come from far away.

Therefore, after only a few hours, the energy around Lin Feng gradually became abundant.

Moreover, under this abundance, there is faintly mixed a hint of violent flavor.

Setting the headquarters here, the fire around this mountain range is extremely rich; probably only the Heaven Burning Refining Qi Tower of the Canaan Academy compares.

Lin Feng, sensing this change, immediately glanced into the distance.

Only seeing at the end of his line of sight, a fiery red line appeared.

This fiery red line is extremely magnificent; at a glance, its end cannot be seen.

"I suppose that must be the Scorching Fire Mountain Range; no wonder the Blazing Flame Valley's deep magma at the bottom can barely match the attribute energy here."

Sensing the increasingly violent fire-attribute energy, Lin Feng exclaimed.

Although the environment here cannot compare to the Heaven Burning Refining Qi Tower, it is not lacking at all.

Even, Lin Feng feels that inside this Scorching Fire Mountain Range, it might be even stronger than the place where the Heaven Fire Venerable once stayed.

Upon entering the Scorching Fire Mountain Range, Lin Feng finally truly saw this Scorching Fire Mountain Range.

In this place, the Congyu Gate is divided into two by blue stone slabs.

On that side, the crowd is about to walk into the venue now.

Some guards dispatched by the venue are stationed nearby, doing their best to maintain order.

As for the left side, aside from a few female guards, hardly anyone enters.

"Looks like that is the VIP passage; let's go."

After the little pattern scanned the sand mouth, they immediately looked at Feng and the others and said.

"Good."

Lin Feng, the Heaven Fire Venerable, and the three of them nodded, agreeing.

After speaking, Lin Feng took the fair hands of Feng Qinger and Xiao Yixian, walking toward that quiet passage.

"Gentlemen, please present your VIP tokens so I can verify your identities."

Just as the few people arrived at the passage entrance, a middle-aged man

Then the middle-aged person took from their spatial ring what Ji Jiaxin had given them.

After the man verified the token, he immediately raised it with both hands and presented it, while speaking.

While speaking, the man moved to the side of the passage, so that Lin Feng and the others could enter smoothly.

"Hmm."

Lin Feng slightly nodded, then entered the passage.

"Honored guests, I will escort you to the VIP room."

But flying is much more convenient.

Immediately, the Heaven Fire Venerable and Xiao Yixian respectively took Lin Feng and Feng Qinger, flying over the black sea formed by heads below.

In the envy of countless people, they steadily landed before a massive round building.

"This vast desert arena is somewhat similar to the Blue Star stadium."

Gazing at the stone wall, Lin Feng marveled in his heart.

Then his gaze turned toward the location of that gate.

Just as the few people entered the passage, a poorly clothed maid hurried forward, bowing.

As she bent over, her protruding front parts were almost fully displayed in the view of the several people.

"Enough, stop chattering, hurry up and lead the way."

Feng Qinger and Xiao Yixian, seeing this, their pretty faces instantly sank, and they coldly said.

Immediately, the two women glanced at Lin Feng.

Upon seeing his embarrassed pretty face, the coldness dissipated somewhat.

As for Lin Feng, he really didn't feel much.

After all, these days he has been accompanied by Feng Qinger and Xiao Yixian every day.

Their top-tier beauties' bodies, I don't know how much more attractive than that maid.

Therefore, he who has already had relations with several top-tier beauties.

Naturally, one would not make a shameful expression just because of a maid's appearance.

"I obey," the maid said.

Then, the maid also seemed to have heard the two women.

She again pulled the two of them and continued toward the interior of the green stone passage.

The green stone passage was short, extending only to the open‑air arena within the wall.

Lin Feng looked ahead and saw a vast plain.

Around the plain were densely packed seats.

At a glance, most of them were uncovered.

After a moment, the speed of Lin Feng and the other two slowed down.

Finally, they stopped at the base of a crimson peak.

Made from a demon beast's hide, even though it had been fashioned into a scroll, but on it…

Lin Feng's gaze swept forward to the majestic crimson giant mountain.

Between the two towering giant mountains, a winding stone staircase curled upward from the foot of the mountain.

As a faint glimmer flashed, an extremely ornate scroll appeared in his hand.

Staring at the scroll that exuded pressure, Lin Feng exclaimed in astonishment, "What level does this scroll emit, its oppressive aura still makes my heart race."

Immediately, he grasped the scroll with both hands and slowly unfurled it.

He couldn't help but start trembling.

For him, who had read the original, this passage could not be more familiar.

On this Dou Qi Continent, one would refer to oneself as a person.

Generally, his Qi cultivation had at least reached…

And to attain such a realm, one could say, is to stand at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent.

However, the Dou has not emerged for over ten thousand years.

And fitting this description, he could only think of one.

It is the ancient emperor Tuoshe Gu Di!

Thinking that this scroll might have been left by Tuoshe Gu Di, his heart began to pound violently.

Such a supreme master, even a casually left item…

…could attract many Dou Saints, who would come for the item.

"My reign took a thousand years to take shape, ten thousand years of Spirit Gathering, ten thousand cultivations, and then I happened upon a technique. For a thousand years I roamed in form, living by devouring fire."

Seeing this, Lin Feng was suddenly shocked.

Even his hands gripping the scroll seemed to endure a fierce clash.

For him now, it was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.

"Dong Yan, as a Dou Patriarch, is strong, yet insignificant compared to a Dou Emperor; why would he possess something left by Tuoshe Gu Di?"

At this thought, Lin Feng furrowed his brows, feeling that someone must be behind them.

Immediately, his excitement renewed as he looked back at the scroll.

"During those thousand years, I absorbed twenty‑one flames, refined my strength, yet suffered from a lack of source Qi, unable to advance further to break through the Dou Emperor realm."

"Thus, day and night I studied my own technique and Exotic Flames, eventually drawing inspiration from the art to create this flame, also known as Imperial Spirit Flame!"

"Is the research method perhaps the Burning Secret?"

Seeing this, Lin Feng guessed.

After all, the technique cultivated by Tuoshe Gu involved this Burning Secret.

Beyond this technique, throughout the Dou Qi Continent…

There should be no other techniques worthy of Tuoshe Gu Di's attention to study.

With this in mind, Lin Feng continued to gaze at the scroll.

"

After reading the scroll's introduction, Lin Feng was left speechless.

It's hard to imagine that the ancient emperor Tuoshe could create such a bizarre combat technique.

If the above description is true, then in a sense.

This Imperial Spirit Flame is a kind of Exotic Flame!

Most importantly, it is a type of Exotic Flame that can be mass‑produced!

"How did Dong Yan actually obtain this combat technique?"

Staring at the scroll in his hand, Lin Feng couldn't make sense of it.

This fellow, how exactly did he acquire the Imperial Spirit Flame?

Immediately, Lin Feng carefully handled the crimson scroll and then sealed it into a Sea‑Nai Ring.

"Later, I will scour the continent, spending years, occasionally a wisp of source Qi; after years, finally ascend to Dou Emperor!"

After reading this line, Lin Feng furrowed his brows, thinking to himself, "The issue of lacking source Qi is already quite severe."

But considering the problems he was currently pondering, he continued to look at the scroll.

"After becoming Dou Emperor, I will again scour the continent, compiling a ranking of Exotic Flames in the order I devour them."

"After that, I, the emperor, am curious about the essence of Exotic Flames, employing my own superiority."

Having done this, he swiftly took out the jade bottle containing the flame soul.

Then, he lightly brushed his palm over the bottle's mouth, removing the seal.

Only with a massive amount of Exotic Flames can one possess this, which includes, but is not limited to, the world‑shattering ability to devour others, and such traits…

And at the end of that path, a startling spatial fluctuation was subtly emanating.

Clearly, beyond that lies a separate realm.

"Who dares to trespass in my Burning Flame Valley!"

Lin Feng and his companions had only just halted when a resonant roar suddenly rang across the heavens and earth.

Immediately thereafter, a red silhouette shot out from the space at the end of the stone staircase.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived dozens of meters ahead of Lin Feng and his companions.

"This technique uses items rich in the fire attribute, refines them to obtain a wisp of flame; thereafter, feeding the flame with demonic cores, herbs, or other fire‑attribute items will cause the flame to grow."

"And the flame after it has grown, like other exotic flames, the most crucial aspect of its nature is, just as a character, it can generate its own sentient intelligence!"

"Of course, when later cultivators practice this method, if they can obtain a truly exotic flame, it becomes a living being!"

Lin Feng's gaze fell upon him; the old man's square face had a certain charm.

Moreover, judging from the overwhelming battle Qi that erupted, he appears to be at least at the pinnacle of the Battle Sect.

Fire, after being employed as flame and then consumed, undergoes a transformation, growing into its true form. (End of chapter)
