Chapter 200: Moving Forward

Dark Light Academy.

The Dean of the Martial Academy looked at the three people before him, a smile on his face.

"Everyone is here." The Dean of the Martial Academy's gaze fell upon the only woman present. "Fairy Ye Meng, once we reach Jiuzhou, I must trouble you to look after Feng Yan and Lang Fei."

Ye Meng wore a long black dress, dressed quite differently from those in the Qiyuan World.

"No problem." Ye Meng swept her gaze over Lang Fei and Lin Chao, then spoke slowly.

"Since that is the case, let us head to Jiuzhou," the Dean of the Martial Academy said.

"Very well."

Led by the Dean of the Martial Academy, the group walked toward the depths of the Dark Light Academy.

The entrance from the Dark Light Academy to Jiuzhou was not outside the Qiyuan World, but rather inside the Demon Cave.

Half an hour later, the group came to a halt.

The Dean of the Martial Academy took out a blood-red bead.

He tossed the bead into the air, and it instantly shattered, transforming into a layer of blood mist.

Ahead, a flicker of light and shadow appeared.

"Hurry, go in," the Dean of the Martial Academy said urgently.

Ye Meng, Lang Fei, and Lin Chao already knew the procedure; without any hesitation, they went straight into the light and shadow.

Suddenly, a sense of vertigo washed over them.

Lin Chao sensed that his Divine Soul seemed to be trembling, as if it were about to leave his body.

Ye Meng's voice came through: "We are about to arrive at the Endless Fen Xu. Everyone be careful, activate your Fire-avoiding Beads."

The Fire-avoiding Bead was a treasure issued by the Academy.

This item was specifically designed for the Endless Fen Xu.

It could not only prevent one from being burned by the flames but also conceal one's aura to avoid being attacked by the fire beasts in the Endless Fen Xu.

"There are many fire beasts in the Endless Fen Xu, and they are powerful, some even comparable to Seventh-Order Transcendents. You must be careful.

Follow me, do not act rashly, and do not make a move if you see fire beasts."

"Understood," Lang Fei replied.

"Understood." Lin Chao was very familiar with the Endless Fen Xu.

He had once cultivated here; he knew the fire beasts in the Endless Fen Xu better than anyone.

Soon, the scene before the group changed drastically.

Everywhere was an endless sea of fire, with magma flowing continuously.

The world was nothing but burning flames.

Seeing this, Lang Fei was slightly surprised.

Ye Meng looked up: "The origin of the Endless Fen Xu is unknown; rumors say it is related to a True Dragon.

Ten thousand years ago, the Dragon Emperor once cultivated here and reached the realm of a True Immortal.

In the Endless Fen Xu, there are tens of millions of fire beasts with formidable strength, including many Pseudo-Immortals and True Spirits. Yet, in the eyes of the Dragon Emperor, these fire beasts were nothing more than succulent food.

It is said that whenever the Dragon Emperor appeared, all the fire beasts would flee, not daring to resist at all."

"I have always heard of how magnificent the Dragon Emperor of Jiuzhou was; it is a pity that I, Lang, cannot see his true face," Lang Fei sighed.

The Dragon Emperor of Jiuzhou was a supreme existence, even in the Qiyuan World, capable of suppressing the Jing Country single-handedly.

Lang Fei naturally admired such a peerless powerhouse.

A trace of a smile appeared on Ye Meng's face: "The Dragon Emperor was the most handsome man in Jiuzhou. Back then, before the Dragon Emperor went to slay the Immortals, he came to my Ye Family, and three hundred daughters of the Ye Family vied to catch a glimpse of him, offering themselves as his bedmates, hoping to become the person by the Dragon Emperor's side.

It is a pity that the Dragon Emperor lived his life prioritizing the great righteousness of heaven and earth, with no interest in romantic entanglements, and ultimately failed to produce any heirs. It is truly a regret."

The group talked as they walked.

"Is Fairy Ye Meng's ancestor one of the Seven Demon Saints of Medicine Blood State, Ye You?" Lin Chao asked from the side.

Revisiting an old haunt, he felt many emotions in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the world had changed.

"What Seven Demon Saints?" A look of dissatisfaction appeared on Ye Meng's face. "Ancestor Ye You was one of the Seven Immortal Saints of Medicine Blood State.

Six thousand years ago, Ancestor Ye You, along with the Dragon Emperor's family elders and several of the Dragon Emperor's other masters, ascended to the Immortal World together; these seven earned the title of the Seven Immortal Saints.

I do not know where you heard such false information, but do not speak of it in Jiuzhou.

Otherwise, if you slander the Dragon Emperor's masters, a demoness will enter your room at night to drain your essence."

"It was my rashness," Lin Chao said, feeling comforted.

His masters had all become True Immortals and ascended to the Immortal World.

It seemed the drop of blood he had left behind had served its purpose.

As for the change in his masters' titles, Lin Chao understood it after a moment's thought.

The Seven Demon Saints of Medicine Blood State was the name given to his masters by other states.

At that time, other states were hostile to Medicine Blood State, so the names they gave his masters were naturally unpleasant.

Seven Demon Saints was a slur.

However, later, he had slain True Immortals and opened the Gate of the Immortal World, making such a great contribution to Jiuzhou.

Jiuzhou would naturally not refer to his masters as the Seven Demon Saints of Medicine Blood State.

Moreover, Master Shi Jian had long since fallen.

"It is nothing," Ye Meng said, unconcerned.

Jiuzhou and the Qiyuan World had been in contact for some time; it was not unusual for Feng Yan to know some incorrect, fragmented information.

The three of them moved quickly through the Endless Fen Xu.

Ye Meng frowned: "Strange, usually there are many Fire beasts here, and we need to use Stealth carefully; why hasn't a single Fire beast appeared today?"

She was very puzzled.

Every time they passed through the Endless Fen Xu, they were on pins and needles, afraid of being discovered by powerful Fire beasts.

Yet now, they hadn't discovered a single Fire beast.

"Perhaps... we are just lucky," Lang Fei said from the side.

Lin Chao did not speak.

He knew that the wings of the Butterfly Bird in Jiuzhou had merged into his body.

His constitution was somewhat similar to when he was Xiang Long in his past life.

These Fire beasts naturally feared him.

Along the way, no Fire beasts appeared, and the three of them traveled with absolute safety.

A look of confusion was on Ye Meng's face; she did not know what had happened.

Regardless, this was a good thing.

Two days later.

The group traveled by Dharma Boat and stopped at a residence.

"This is a property of our Ye Family. Brother Feng Yan, Brother Lang Fei, you may rest here and exchange resources.

If there is anything you need, you can come find me at any time," Ye Meng said, a look of joy on her face.

She had not returned to her family for a long time, and the joy in her heart was evident.

"Very well," Lin Chao nodded.

This property of the Ye Family was located within a city.

It was an antique-style manor, giving Lin Chao a strong sense of familiarity.

However, this sense of familiarity also carried a sense of strangeness.

After ten thousand years, Jiuzhou had become unfamiliar.

After all, while on the Dharma Boat, Lin Chao had looked down and been able to see billowing thick smoke.

Below were large chimneys and steam trains.

Jiuzhou had not remained unchanged.

"Brother Feng Yan, shall we go trade together tomorrow?" Lang Fei suggested from the side.

"Very well," Lin Chao nodded.

Trading on behalf of the Su Group was the least important thing he had to do upon coming here.

He might as well get it over with.

The next day, Lin Chao and Lang Fei conducted the trade, and the trade went very smoothly.

Demon Cores and some technological items from Jing Country were very popular here.

Lin Chao stayed in the manor, living a peaceful life.

As for Lang Fei, he practiced cultivation the entire time.

In the world of Jiuzhou, practicing the New Method seemed to have special benefits, and cultivation could be bolstered.

Lin Chao did not care about these things.

The only thing he wanted to do now was leave this place and search for the Butterfly Bird.

Thus, not long after the trade was finished, Lin Chao went to bid Ye Meng farewell.
