Chapter 438: The curtain rises! A leisure trip? The Canglan Plane!

Burning Heaven City, north of the city.

Here lies a sprawling estate, and on the plaque of the estate, the two characters "Xiao Family" are prominently displayed.

After the situation in the Endless Fire Territory stabilized, Xiao Yan brought most of the people around him over.

Of course, the Xiao family in Wutan City on the Douqi Continent remains the foundation of the Xiao family.

The great hall in the center of Burning Heaven City is the superficial core of the Endless Fire Territory, but the Xiao family estate is the true "heart" of the Endless Fire Territory.

When Chu Yang arrived here, the courtyard was quiet. Apart from the two Earthly Sovereign guards stationed at the gate, no pedestrians could be seen in the estate.

He did not alert the guards, walking through the courtyard while observing his surroundings.

Just after passing the front courtyard, Chu Yang saw a graceful figure in green standing in the pavilion by the small stream.

The other party also noticed him, but was not surprised. Instead, she drifted forward and bowed gracefully, saying, "King Chu, Brother Xiao Yan has been waiting for a long time!"

Looking at the ethereal woman before him, Chu Yang smiled and said, "Xiao Yan is actually willing to let you, the mistress of the Endless Fire Territory, come out to welcome guests..."

Xiao Xun'er pursed her lips and smiled, "With King Chu's arrival, Brother Xiao Yan should have welcomed you personally, but he is currently helping Miss Huo Ling fuse the Emperor Flame. I hope King Chu will not take offense."

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, and said, "Xiao Yan has already forged the Peerless Emperor Flame?"

Xiao Xun'er nodded and said, "He succeeded just a month ago..."

Thus, Xiao Xun'er led the way while chatting idly with Chu Yang.

The two soon arrived at the backyard, which felt like a paradise away from the world, nestled against mountains and water, with a small courtyard enclosed by a fence.

In front of the courtyard was a hot spring, and one could faintly hear the sounds of children playing inside.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, a little girl, carved from jade, ran up, hugged Xiao Xun'er's leg, looked up, and said, "Auntie!"

Xiao Xun'er dotingly rubbed her head and then said to Chu Yang, "King Chu, her name is Xiao Xiao; she is the daughter of Brother Xiao Yan and Cai Lin."

Chu Yang keenly captured a trace of sadness in her eyes and teased with a smile, "That is my fault. If it weren't for the fact that after entering the Great Thousand World, Xiao Yan has always been busy because of me, I'm afraid your children would be old enough to run errands by now."

Xiao Xun'er's pretty face flushed red first, and then she asked, somewhat bewildered, "Run... what does 'run errands' mean?"

Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not important..."

He squatted down, raised his hand to take out a medicinal pill, handed it to Xiao Xiao, and said with a smile, "Little Xiao Xiao, call me Uncle Chu."

Xiao Xiao hid behind Xiao Xun'er's leg, only poking out half her head, and called out crisply with her lively eyes, "Thank you, Uncle Chu!"

After saying this, the quirky little girl directly took the pill from Chu Yang's hand.

Just at this moment, the door of the house in the courtyard suddenly opened, and Xiao Yan, dressed in a black robe, walked out.

Following behind him were Huo Ling, Dan Tong, and Xiao Xiao.

Chu Yang said irritably, "Why are you two joining in the fun?"

Xiao Xiao blinked her eyes and said, "The Flame Emperor's Emperor Flame has a body-tempering effect on me and can also help Dan Tong remove impurities from his body."

Xiao Xiao's true form is a snake, and her bloodline is cold and yin; it should have conflicted with the fire attribute, and ordinary snake tribes would avoid it at all costs.

But there is nothing absolute. When a snake's bloodline is strong to a certain degree, it can rely on this attribute conflict to further stimulate the power of the bloodline.

In this regard, Cai Lin, during her time as Queen Medusa, was the most typical example.

As for Dan Tong, it goes without saying that his true form was ordinary, and he only transformed into a human shape because he was mixed with extreme substances.

And his way of improving his cultivation is to devour various heavenly materials and earthly treasures or absorb life energy.

In this process, it is inevitable that some impurities will remain in his body.

Chu Yang nodded, said no more, and turned to look at Xiao Yan, asking, "How are the preparations?"

Xiao Yan's expression became a bit more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "All the experts in the Endless Fire Territory and the Yunlan Sect above the Earthly Sovereign realm are already fully prepared."

Looking at Chu Yang in front of him, Xiao Yan felt complicated for a moment.

Back when they were on the Douqi Continent, although Chu Yang was far ahead, Xiao Yan still refused to admit defeat in his bones and tried hard to catch up with his footsteps.

But now it seems that everything was just his own wishful thinking.

The Great Thousand Palace has expressed its support, the Undying Lord has given absolute importance, and the Green Shirt Sword Saint feels inferior in swordsmanship...

All of this has made everyone understand that in the near future, Chu Yang will inevitably become the fourth giant! And he will be an extremely young giant-level powerhouse! Some have even regarded him as the second genius after the Immortal Emperor who can surpass the Saint Product! Xiao Yan understands that the gap between the two is getting wider and wider. Let alone catching up with his footsteps, no matter how hard he tries, he can at most barely see the other's back and not be left too far behind.

Xiao Yan took a deep look at Chu Yang and then turned to Xiao Xun'er and said, "Xun'er, have Cai Lin prepare; we will set off at dark!"

The reason why Cai Lin is not here is that she is responsible for leading a large number of experts to make preparations before the operation.

This time, the Endless Fire Territory is almost entirely mobilized. Xiao Xun'er and Cai Lin will both go along, while Yao Chen will stay behind to guard the rear.

Xiao Xun'er nodded and then turned and left.

Chu Yang thought for a moment, raised his hand to take out a compass, handed it to Xiao Yan, and said, "This is a formation compass I engraved, which contains a half-step Saint Product spiritual array."

"This spiritual array can shield the heavens and the earth. As long as the spiritual array is not broken, unless a powerhouse above the middle stage of the Saint Product investigates with all their might, no one will notice anything that happens in the array."

"In addition, to break the array from the inside, even a Saint Product early-stage powerhouse would have to spend some effort."

Hearing his words, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up slightly. He took the spiritual array and said with a smile, "With this formation compass, the success rate of this trip can be increased by at least ten percent!"

Chu Yang shook his head and smiled, "Ten percent is not enough! I want you to have a hundred percent certainty!"

"And this time, I don't want to see too many casualties..."

As he spoke, he took out three jade pendants and handed them out, saying, "These are spatial jade pendants. After crushing them, you can perform large-scale spatial displacement, which is enough to cover everyone participating in the operation."

"The spatial power in the jade pendant will randomly teleport you to a location a hundred miles away."

"But don't worry, this kind of teleportation is parallel and will not send you to high altitudes or underground, but it is best to use it in the air, otherwise you may be sent into a mountain."

Xiao Yan nodded, understood what Chu Yang meant, put away one of the jade pendants, and then handed the other two to Xiao Xiao and Huo Ling respectively.

Huo Ling shook her head and said, "I don't need it. Even if I face life-threatening danger, I can instantly return to my master's side!"

What she said was the truth, but it required paying a certain price.

Chu Yang can instantly recall the Four Saint True Spirits, but this would cause the Four Saint True Spirits to abandon their physical bodies, only recalling their origin and soul.

But for Chu Yang, as long as there is a Saint Product powerhouse's physical body as a "prototype," reshaping their physical bodies is not a difficult task.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then did not insist, and put away the other jade pendant as well.

Chu Yang hesitated for a moment, then took out a scroll, his expression becoming a bit more serious, and said, "Tear open this scroll, and I can strike once from across the air."

"But you must know that once I make a move, it will attract the attention of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor. You must weigh the pros and cons yourself."

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed. He took the scroll and nodded heavily.

This thing is equivalent to a "hand grenade" used to perish together with the enemy when facing a certain-death situation.

Once Chu Yang strikes from across the air, his aura will instantly attract the eyes of many top Heavenly Demon Emperors of the Evil Tribe.

By that time, everyone participating in the operation will be targeted, and not one will be able to escape! The sun slanted to the west, and the earthy yellow land of the Endless Fire Territory was rendered orange-red, adding a bit of splendor.

Burning Heaven Mountain Range, underground lava cave.

Hundreds of powerhouses gathered here. Under the illumination of the rolling magma, everyone's expression gave a sense of killing and iron-bloodedness.

Chu Yang faced the crowd and said softly, "Everyone, the outcome of this trip is unpredictable, but no matter what the result is, you will be rewarded for your merits upon your return!"

"If anyone unfortunately falls, the Yunlan Sect will take care of their families, and the descendants of the third generation, regardless of their talent and aptitude, will be cultivated as core disciples."

Chu Yang knows very well that no pre-war mobilization is more direct and effective than putting benefits directly on the table.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, everyone's eyes lit up, and their eyes became much firmer.

Xiao Yan also said at the right time, "After returning, the Endless Fire Territory will send an Emperor Token to the families of all those who died in battle."

"Those who hold this token, the Endless Fire Territory will unconditionally do one thing for them!"

If Chu Yang's words were equivalent to igniting a big fire in these people's hearts, then Xiao Yan's promise was no different from adding dry firewood! "Set off!" Chu Yang waved his hand, and then a spatial passage appeared behind him.

Led by Xiao Yan, Huo Ling, and Xiao Xiao, many powerhouses rose into the air and swept into the spatial passage.

At the same time, the Martial Realm had also just finished pre-war mobilization, and Tang Huo'er opened the spatial passage, leading many powerhouses to file in.

The curtain rises, and a good show is about to be staged!

Burning Heaven City, Xiao family estate.

Chu Yang and Yao Chen sat opposite each other in the courtyard, drinking tea and chatting about the recent situation in the Endless Fire Territory.

Compared to Xiao Yan, Yao Chen's heart is more complicated. The thing he is most proud of in his life is cultivating a disciple like Xiao Yan.

Yao Chen once even felt that Xiao Yan was the most outstanding genius on the entire Douqi Continent.

But compared to Chu Yang, he is really far behind.

Chu Yang looked at Yao Chen and said with a half-smile, "With the Endless Fire Territory mobilized in full force this time, isn't Xiao Yan afraid that the operation will fail and cause the Xiao family to fall into a slump again?"

He is testing Xiao Yan's true view of the entire plan.

Participating in the plan and sparing no effort is the trend of the times. Xiao Yan would not refuse no matter what. After all, as the saying goes...

Under a collapsed nest, are there any intact eggs? But as for what he is thinking in his heart, Chu Yang is slightly curious.

Yao Chen said with a smile, "Little Yanzi has always been accurate in judging people. He feels that even if everyone participating in this operation is wiped out, King Chu will not treat the Endless Fire Territory badly."

"What's more, with Xiao Xiao and You Quan, even if the Endless Fire Territory cannot dominate one side as before, it will at least be safe."

Hearing him say this, Chu Yang suddenly remembered that Xiao Yan still had a disciple.

You Quan?

Thinking that the little girl seemed to have unusual feelings for Xiao Yan, Chu Yang couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.

It seems that ever since Xiao Yan entered the Great Thousand World, this disciple of his has disappeared. Could it be that her idea of being a "rebellious disciple" was discovered by Xiao Yan? Chu Yang shook his head and laughed, put away his distracting thoughts, and then slowly stood up and said, "Since the operation has already begun, I won't disturb you anymore!"

Yao Chen was stunned, "Is King Chu going to the Martial Realm?"

He could see that Chu Yang attached great importance to this matter, so he subconsciously thought that Chu Yang would inevitably wait for the result in the two major forces.

Chu Yang shook his head and said, "The die is cast. As for the final result, they can only rely on themselves."

"I made an appointment with some friends before I came, and I want to go to their homeland to look around."

After saying this, Chu Yang did not stay any longer, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from where he was.

Yao Chen sat in the courtyard, frowning.

The entire plan is of great importance and involves great risks, but Chu Yang went to travel and play at this juncture, which really made him a little unable to understand.

…………

Canglan Plane.

This is an extremely special lower plane. There is no land in the entire plane. As far as the eye can see, it is all ocean, and even islands do not exist.

But this lower plane has a deep foundation, and even if it is placed among the high-level lower planes, it is a nameable existence.

First of all, the water attribute energy in the Canglan Plane is rich, and practicing water attribute techniques here will get twice the result with half the effort.

In the ancient times, the Canglan Plane was once brilliant for a time, especially the largest tribe in the Canglan Plane, the Mermaid Tribe, which even produced several Heavenly Sovereigns.

Most importantly, a Xuanwu once appeared in the Canglan Plane. The Four Spirit Divine Beasts are second only to the Dragon Phoenix even in the Heavenly Ranking of the Ten Thousand Beast Record.

As one of the Four Spirit Divine Beasts, the power of the Xuanwu is imaginable.

But it is precisely because of the former glory of the Canglan Plane that it became one of the main targets of the Outer Evil Tribe in that great decisive battle.

Later generations only know that there are many ancient battlefields in the Great Thousand World, and these ancient battlefields were the main battlefields during the great decisive battle.

But few people know that there are also some main battlefields in countless lower planes.

The Canglan Plane is one of the main battlefields in the lower planes.

In that decisive battle, the Xuanwu and many experts of the Mermaid Tribe all fell, but the Outer Evil Tribe also paid a bloody price.

But after all, it was a war that affected the entire Great Thousand World, and everyone was busy with themselves, so naturally they could not spare the strength to reinforce others.

In the end, the Canglan Plane fell, and like the original White Dragon Plane, it became a paradise for the Outer Evil Tribe.

But the difference is that the Canglan Plane connects to the depths of the outer regions and is controlled by the Yellow Spring Evil Tribe, one of the thirty-two major tribes.

The Yellow Spring Evil Tribe has two Heavenly Demon Emperors, one in the early stage and one in the middle stage, and that deputy patriarch in the early stage of the Heavenly Demon Emperor personally sits in the Canglan Plane.

Their purpose is very simple, that is to find the Plane Spirit and erode and devour it, so as to help the Yellow Spring Demon Emperor break through to the late stage of the Heavenly Demon Emperor in one fell swoop.

Because of this, the Great Thousand World has never been able to recover the Canglan Continent. (End of chapter)
