Chapter 173: Dragon-Controlling Fire-Burning Sun, Secret Realm Ends, Six Vein Elders

"As expected of a Gao Jie spiritual weapon."

Meng Zhangqing nodded in satisfaction.

He simply channeled his Cold Moon true qi, didn't even use a martial art, and casually swung it.

Relying solely on the sword's sharpness, he directly slew the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python.

Not a single bit of obstruction.

"Next, it is to contain the flame."

Meng Zhangqing split open the head of the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python at his feet, and a flame immediately revealed itself within.

Whoosh!

The flame seemed to possess sentience, wanting to dive into the fire lake below.

But Meng Zhangqing had prepared for this long ago.

He directly spread his five fingers and forcibly grabbed it.

The flame struggled wildly, emitting extremely high temperatures, utterly furious!

Attempting to burn Meng Zhangqing's hand to ash.

But... it was utterly useless.

It couldn't even leave the slightest mark on Meng Zhangqing's palm.

"Dragon-Controlling Fire-Burning Sun Art!"

Dense fire-cloud marks appeared in his palm, carrying a sense of prohibition, wrapping the flame completely, and then gradually merging beneath the skin.

"There are two more."

Meng Zhangqing found the other two heads.

The beast fire of the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python is stronger mainly because it is not one, but three.

When three combine, a qualitative change occurs.

Although certainly inferior to the Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fires, it would far surpass ordinary beast fire.

It is very suitable to serve as a pill fire for alchemists.

He followed the same method.

Meng Zhangqing also fully contained the remaining two beast fires.

Although the perfected "Dragon-Controlling Fire-Burning Sun Art" cannot deal with Heavenly and Earthly Strange Fires, for these beast fires, it is a piece of cake, utterly effortless.

Roar!

Above the Dantian Sea.

The three beast fires met, and under the art's urging, began to fuse with one another.

Once the fusion ended.

only a single, even more scorching flame remained.

Its appearance was almost identical to the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python.

Full of ferocity.

The flame instinctively wanted to struggle, but numerous red chains appeared within its body, firmly trapping it in place, unable to move.

After struggling for a long while, it finally fell completely silent, as if accepting its fate.

"Complete."

A smile appeared at the corner of Meng Zhangqing's mouth.

Taming this beast fire was much simpler than anticipated.

Of course, the main reason was that he had broken through to the Sea Opening Realm, overwhelming in strength; otherwise, dealing with this Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python would have required much more effort.

With a slight movement of thought.

a wisp of flame appeared in his palm.

The flame flickered.

Taking the form of the Three-Headed Fire-Scaled Python.

It would even let out a long roar to the heavens.

The terrifying temperature actually affected Meng Zhangqing's Cold Moon true qi.

"As expected of a three-in-one; the temperature is far, far higher than a single one."

Meng Zhangqing was extremely satisfied.

Although the containment succeeded, this is only the beginning; from now on, one must constantly feed this fire with true qi to allow the pill fire to grow continuously.

As for true qi.

He absolutely lacks none.

"There should still be about a day left; let's explore a bit more."

——

Quickly.

The secret realm's opening reached its conclusion.

The disciples who entered could almost all be said to have gained something; the only difference was the quantity of their gains.

On the plaza.

The light gate still stood.

At this moment, several figures appeared.

Besides Elder Ye and Elder Lin, there were four more figures.

Obviously, they were the Elders of the four other veins, apart from the Spirit Sky Peak and Martial Peak.

The purpose of coming here is also very simple.

Mainly to see how many disciples have advanced to the Sea Opening Realm.

Then they will be brought into the True Disciple ranks.

For the Zong Sect, every True Disciple can be said to be a true mainstay, because those who enter the Sea Opening at this age will not have poor future achievements.

"This time, the Zong Sect released so much high-grade resources; there should be quite a few disciples breaking through to the Sea Opening."

An Elder said.

He was seen to have a sturdy build, thick hair tied into braids.

There was an indescribable wildness.

He was an inner Elder of the Fengdenei Sect.

His surname was Qin.

"This is natural; with the standard of our Zanmenzong Sect's disciples and such a high grade of resources available, breaking through is naturally a matter of course."

Elder Xun of the Array Peak nodded.

"This generation has enjoyed the benefits; if it were our generation, or any other, where would we have such good treatment?"

"Even within the mere Mystic Clarity Realm, there can be Rank Three resources."

Elder Feng of the Medicine King Peak said.

The other Elders exchanged glances, deeply agreeing.

The so-called benefits were due to the matter of the Hidden Dragon List.

Within the Tianling Prefecture Realm, our Zijiazong Sect, although a hegemonic power, is not the only one.

There is also the Juling Sect, the Blazing Sun Valley, and the Wind and Cloud City.

A few days ago, the Juling Sect and the Blazing Sun Valley joined forces to launch an attack, challenging the disciples on our Zijiazong Sect's Hidden Dragon List.

And they defeated them consecutively, seizing a total of six Hidden Dragon positions.

This can be said to be a huge loss.

To reclaim the positions, they could only increase efforts to cultivate the disciples.

"For top geniuses, the Crimson Opportunity Point will not be difficult; as long as they break through to the Sea Opening, it will be easily within their grasp."

"The most critical one is still that Dark Crimson Opportunity Point."

"Guarded by a noble bloodline beast, and not just an ordinary bloodline."

"Truly, who can defeat it?"

The Elder of the Punishment Peak said slowly.
