Chapter 26: Old Ancestor Huo Yun's Admonition!

Zhi Huo Shan Mai.

Like a slumbering crimson great dragon, it wound and lay across the southwest of Zhongzhou's Zhongyu.

The mountain range stretched endlessly, scorching breath rising like substance from the valleys, as if to ignite the surrounding air.

The entire mountain range was an endless chain of volcanoes.

Here, fire-attribute spiritual Qi was extremely rich.

Anyone cultivating fire-attribute cultivation techniques here would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

But those cultivating other attributes would feel their Dou Qi as if being scorched here.

Unless one's Dou Qi was rich enough to a certain extent, ordinary people simply dared not stay here long.

Above the mountain range, two figures shot over like meteors chasing the moon.

They were Yun Yi and Yun Yun.

Yun Yun overlooked the land below.

The continuous mountain peaks seemed repeatedly forged by fierce fire, their whole bodies a deep crimson.

At various volcanic craters, thick pillars of fire shot into the sky like angry dragons.

Wave after wave of heat surged over, blowing Yun Yun's hair into wild dance.

She couldn't help but slightly narrow her eyes, her eyes full of wonder, murmuring, "Master, can anyone really live here?"

"Just standing in the air, I feel my Dou Qi surging within me."

"But this scenery does carry a unique beauty."

Yun Yi turned his head slightly, looking at Yun Yun, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"This Zhi Huo Shan Mai is by no means an ordinary place; it contains majestic fire-attribute energy, and for those cultivating fire-attribute techniques, it can be called an excellent cultivation Holy Land."

Afterwards Yun Yi took Yun Yun's hand, sending a strand of Dou Qi into her body.

Instantly, the discomfort of being scorched by flames within Yun Yun's body dissipated.

"Thank you, Master."

Yun Yun was somewhat shy, but did not release Yun Yi's hand.

Afterwards, the two continued flying deeper into the mountain range.

Not long after, they arrived at the mountain range where Fen Yan Valley was located.

Before their eyes, two supremely majestic crimson giant mountains stood towering, leaning closely against each other.

A winding stone staircase spiraled up from the mountain foot, like a crimson ribbon weaving through the mountains.

On the stone staircase was a spacious platform, around which a faint, barely visible light spread, forming a space barrier.

Yun Yi gazed at the barrier, explaining to Yun Yun, "Yun'er, this Fen Yan Valley is hidden within this space barrier."

"This barrier was constructed by the strongmen of Fen Yan Valley through the ages working together; it not only guards the peace within the valley, but also isolates outside probing, maintaining the unique cultivation environment within."

Just as the two had arrived not long ago, the sky suddenly rippled with violent space distortion, as if an invisible pair of hands was tearing at space at will.

Next, a figure slowly walked out from the distorted space.

This person had a head of red hair like fiercely burning flames, flamboyant and dazzling, exuding an astonishingly powerful aura.

It was the Old Ancestor Huo Yun.

"Senior Huo Yun!"

Seeing Old Ancestor Huo Yun appear, Yun Yi's expression was calm yet carried some respect as he slightly bowed, his attitude humble.

"Is it you, brat?"

Old Ancestor Huo Yun saw Yun Yi, a clear look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had originally been at a critical juncture of secluded cultivation, but only appeared to check after sensing a familiar aura.

He sized up Yun Yi up and down, his eyes full of emotion, unable to help but sigh.

"When I saw you back then, you were just a greenhorn fresh out of his village; I never expected you to have reached Nine-Star Dou Zun now."

"Your talent is truly terrifying."

Yun Yi had a faint smile on his face, "Senior overpraise me; Zhongzhou has countless geniuses, I am but one grain among them."

Old Ancestor Huo Yun laughed heartily, patting Yun Yi's shoulder, "You brat, now you're giving me this routine in front of me?"

"Back then, your violent temper made even me afraid!"

"Haha, no no..."

At this moment, the two were chatting about old times up in the sky, each saying a word.

"Come, how can we stand here talking."

"You come with me."

Afterwards, Old Ancestor Huo Yun invited Yun Yi and Yun Yun to enter Fen Yan Valley.

He brought the two to a very special place.

This place was quiet and secluded, but fire-attribute energy rich enough to nearly liquefy permeated the surroundings, as if immersed in a blazing sea of fire.

Old Ancestor Huo Yun smiled faintly, "This place, even the Valley Master cannot easily set foot in on ordinary days."

"Since you've come today, we'll have a good chat here."

Yun Yi smiled faintly, taking a jade box from his storage ring and handing it to Old Ancestor Huo Yun, "Senior Huo Yun, this time I've come, junior specially prepared a small gift for you, hope Senior will accept it with a smile."

"You brat actually brought me a gift??"

"But you also know, ordinary things are of no use to me anymore."

Old Ancestor Huo Yun took the jade box, but did not open it.

After all, there were indeed very few things now that could interest him.

As a Dou Saint cultivation base, many heavenly treasures no longer worked.

However, Yun Yi explained unhurriedly, "This is an Eighth Rank Dan Pill that has undergone Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."

"It can extend life by fifty years, and is even effective for a Dou Saint Strongman."

"Huh??"

"An Eighth Rank Dan Pill that has undergone Nine-Colored Pill Lightning??"

Now Huo Yun Old Ancestor was somewhat curious, and subsequently opened the box.

In an instant, a soft and dazzling radiance burst forth from the jade box, while a rich Dan Pill fragrance spread out.

Huo Yun Old Ancestor looked closely, and his eyes immediately widened, "It really is……"

Yun Yun, hearing that Huo Yun Old Ancestor was actually a legendary Dou Saint, was surprised to the point of being unable to close her mouth.

Huo Yun Old Ancestor put away the Dan Pill, then looked at the little girl who had been following by Yun Yi's side, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"You kid, I didn't expect you to bring a woman out too; it seems you've come of age."

Hearing this, Yun Yun's pretty face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute with cupped hands, "Senior Huo Yun, I am Yun Yun, Master's Disciple……"

Yun Yi smiled and nodded, "This is a Disciple I took in before coming to Zhongzhou."

"A Disciple, I thought she was your woman."

Huo Yun Old Ancestor laughed heartily, but his expression gradually turned serious.

He looked at Yun Yi and said earnestly, "Kid Yun Yi, where do you plan to go next?"

"I must properly warn you: your temper was too violent in the past, and you tend to act impulsively when things happen; that won't do."

"This world hides dragons and crouching tigers; those stronger than you are everywhere. The saying goes: the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"

Huo Yun Old Ancestor's words were not very clear.

But Yun Yi knew what he meant.

Huo Yun Old Ancestor hoped that Yun Yi could lie low.

After all, the Soul Hall is too strong now.

Moreover, behind the Soul Hall, the Soul Clan provides Backing/Support.

Yun Yi listened attentively to Huo Yun Old Ancestor's words with a focused expression, but what he said in response was another matter.

"Senior, rest assured. This time I came to Zhongzhou; once I act, I will not leave the slightest trace."
