Chapter 516: Xuan Huang Flame

Of course, the costs incurred here are all shouldered by Xuan Kongzi.

As for Xiao Yan, three months ago, with the aid of the Huangji Pill, he successfully stepped into the Dou Emperor pinnacle.

A few months later, he absorbed that Blood Demon flame.

Then, with the help of the Blood Demon flame and the Po Zong Pill, a few days ago he successfully entered the Dou Zong realm.

However, advancing to Dou Zong certainly made him very happy.

But the subsequent matter of how to obtain Unusual Fire and evolve his Burning Secret is making his hair nearly fall out in worry.

After all, Unusual Fire is something even the three Pillar giants say is extremely hard to find.

Unless one is lucky enough to stumble upon the exact location of an Unusual Fire.

Otherwise, even a hundred years might not be enough to locate it.

If there were Unusual Fire, they would have already refined it.

As for this, Xiao Yan understands it but is also very helpless.

Now that the Burning Secret has reached the Earth Tier, ordinary flames can hardly further evolve the Burning Secret.

Even that artificial flame that amazed Xiao Yan so much, the Blood Demon flame,

could not get his Burning Secret to successfully reach the intermediate Earth Tier.

"Xiao Yan, your little girlfriend is looking for you again; she says she has good news, go see her quickly."

At that moment, an elder suddenly appeared outside Xiao Yan's courtyard and shouted at him.

"Xun'er?!"

Hearing those words, Xiao Yan felt a sudden shock in his heart.

Immediately he rose swiftly, cupped his hands toward the elder and said, "Thank you, Elder, for the message; I'm heading over now."

Having said that, he sped toward the outside in a flash.

"Brother Xiao Yan, you're here."

After Xiao Yan left the Xiao Dan Tower and entered a luxurious reception room in Sacred Dan City, a young girl instantly stood up, delighted, and said.

"Xun'er, why are you here? Is there something?"

Seeing the girl, Xiao Yan scratched his head and gave a somewhat naive smile, saying.

Upon hearing that, the girl pursed her little lips, pretended to be displeased, and said, "What, is there really nothing? Can't I come see you?"

"No, no, nothing; I'm just asking casually."

Seeing the girl's angry expression, Xiao Yan quickly waved his hand and said.

"Fine, I won't tease you."

Gu Xun'er waved her hand, and while speaking, lightly brushed her ring.

As the light flickered, a deep yellow flame trapped by golden fire instantly appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Yan felt the Unusual Fire within his body.

And at the moment that flame appeared, it violently surged.

"Is this Unusual Fire?!"

Perceiving the internal situation, Xiao Yan's face was full of stunned amazement as he exclaimed.

Immediately after, his expression turned to ecstatic joy.

His Burning Secret has lingered at this level for far too long.

Now that he has obtained this Unusual Fire, his Burning Secret may advance further, reaching a higher tier.

And after seeing his expression, Gu Xun'er lightly smiled and said, "Indeed, this deep‑yellow flame, the Xuan Huang Flame, was discovered by a strong member of my clan while searching for Unusual Fire, in a deep mountain about a hundred thousand li from the Central Continent, hidden extremely deep. Fortunately, before they set out, I gave a few of them a trace of Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame sensing. Otherwise, even if they were Dou Zun elites, they might not have found this fire."

Speaking, Gu Xun'er pushed the Unusual Fire in her hand forward, lightly parting her pink lips, and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, quickly absorb it; this way, your strength can improve faster."

"Xun'er, thanks."

Xiao Yan nodded, then smiled and reached out, taking the golden sphere.

He isn't a pedantic person, so naturally he wouldn't refuse the Unusual Fire Gu Xun'er gave.

After all, this thing can boost his strength and Burning Secret level.

And his later plan to rescue his teacher and father also requires sufficient power.

Having been in the Central Continent for so long, plus the help of the three Pillar giants of the Dan Tower,

he now has a clearer understanding of the Soul Hall faction.

Within it, there are even stronger beings beyond Dou Zun.

If he lacks strength, rescuing his teacher and father is out of the question.

Even he himself cannot protect himself.

After all, treasures like the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade are so coveted across the Dou Qi Continent that few remain unmoved.

"By the way, a few months ago, in the Wan Du Mountain Range at the border of the Central Continent's western and southern regions, a certain valley saw a massive battle. In that battle, a five‑star Dou Zun‑level Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast fell. However, the mysterious strongman barely won, and afterwards fled in haste, leaving even the scattered seventh‑tier demon beasts' demon cores and rings in the valley untouched."

At this point, Gu Xun'er spoke again.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan asked curiously, "What was different about that battle?"

He knew Gu Xun'er could not just speak carelessly.

Since she suddenly mentioned that battle, there must be something unusual about it.

"Hmm, that battle was indeed different. According to some strongmen who went to the site after the fight, the battlefield still harbored extremely violent and scorching energy. Such energy usually appears only on Unusual Fire. So someone must have used Unusual Fire in that battle."

Gu Xun'er nodded slightly, then laid out all the clues she knew.

And Xiao Yan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but turn his face to surprise again.

Immediately, he exclaimed excitedly, "So that means there might be an Unusual Fire near the Wan Du Mountains!"

He hadn't expected that today would bring double blessings.

Not only did he obtain a mysterious yellow flame, but he also learned news of another unusual fire.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Then I'll go talk to Aunt Xuan now, ask her to dispatch a few Battle Lord‑level strong cultivators to me, and then set out to search."

At this moment, Gu Xun'er was also twirling a strand of hair in front of her, smiling lightly: "Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry. After learning this news, I have already sent a one‑star Battle Lord and a two‑star Battle Lord to investigate."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned: "In that battle, even the five‑star Battle Lord‑level Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was killed. Although the opponent barely won, their own strength must have been at least a six‑star Battle Lord. Xun'er, you only sent a one‑star and a two‑star Battle Lord—will that be enough?"

Upon hearing that, Gu Xun'er also furrowed her dark eyebrows.

Then, in a somewhat helpless tone, she said: "Even though my position within the clan is now fairly high, without alarming the senior members of the clan, the Battle Lord‑level strong cultivators I can mobilize are still few. Previously, to help Brother Xiao Yan find the unusual fire, I have almost dispatched every person I could summon."

"And those two junior Battle Lords sent to the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains were strong cultivators I borrowed from other peers within the clan."
