First, she needed to suppress the black flame to prevent it from growing larger and fiercer again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one double-hour, under the combined influence of the Clear Heart Mantra and the purple bamboo forest, the black flame within Hua Changxi's body ceased flickering, and her state of mind became calm and serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi gazed inward at the black flame hovering above her Nascent Soul, her eyes flashing with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black flame now showed some changes compared to before; a layer of golden halo had appeared around its outer edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that was the light of the War Soul that had merged into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi carefully recalled the process of being pursued by the Spirit Platform realm cultivator, sharply capturing a subtle anomaly: during the battle, she had experienced the illusion of not knowing what fear was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt some resistance toward this anomalous emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know whether charging forward without any fear was good or bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely humans still need to have some fear, don't they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing had previously told her that her continuous strengthening came from living in fear; if she truly lost that fear, would her state of mind really improve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the burning pain spreading from her back, Hua Changxi stopped dwelling on these thoughts, rose, and went to the fourth layer of the secret realm. After gathering some spiritual herbs and fruits for healing, she stepped into the teleportation array, preparing to go to the Lingguang Hall to heal and recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the entire Medical Bureau was in an uproar due to Hua Changxi's extraordinary appearance, with everyone actively exchanging the news they had received.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that white flame in Peak Master Hua's hand? Its power was so immense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that seven-colored flame formed from the white flame—it felt like an Strange Flame.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peak Master Hua's fortune is simply too good! We would thank heaven and earth just to subdue one Strange Flame, yet she has subdued seven.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So multiple Strange Flames can actually fuse into a flame with even greater power. Peak Master Hua's ability to control flames is truly formidable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard that when Peak Master Hua taught alchemy at the Qihuang Hall, she also offered guidance on flame control. Next time we get the chance, we must go listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, if only the Qihuang Hall were a bit larger; then people like us, without connections, could also attend the lectures.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were topics debated by those without access to information channels; they could only discuss what they had witnessed themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you heard? A Spirit Platform realm cultivator attacked Hua Changxi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Hua Changxi looked so disheveled; she was actually fleeing back to the Medical Bureau! Just now, I thought an external enemy was attacking the Medical Bureau.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean disheveled? Do you know that the Spirit Platform realm cultivator who attacked was counter-killed by Hua Changxi? He still hasn't woken up; no one knows if he'll even survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know who that Spirit Platform realm cultivator was?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was the Duke of Liang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Duke of Liang truly dies, then Hua Changxi has dug herself a massive hole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What massive hole? The Duke of Liang tried to kill Hua Changxi; her counterattack was perfectly justified.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the principle of it, but who can ignore the immense power and influence of the Duke of Liang's residence?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would the perfectly fine Duke of Liang want to kill Hua Changxi? She must have done something to anger him; otherwise, why wouldn't the Duke go after someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people had their own sources of information, but regarding the reason for the Duke of Liang's attack and news concerning the Xuanyuan Residence, they knew very little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truly core and useful information had not spread widely; it circulated only within a few exclusive circles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Old Courtyard of the Square, Gu Xing watched with a grim face as two Spirit Platform realm cultivators dressed in green robes entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Duke of Liang attacked Hua Changxi; why did you not stop him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Gu Xing's accusation, Wen Shouren, the Sixth Elder of the Dansheng Hall, sighed: \"Even when the Five Generals of Xuanyuan acted, they couldn't arrive in time to stop the Duke of Liang. Do you think our strength surpasses theirs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xing's expression softened slightly: \"What exactly happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Shouren spoke with a sigh of emotion: \"The Xuanyuan Sword trembled because Hua Changxi and the successors of the other three Great Holy Lands broke into the Xuanyuan Residence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xuanyuan Residence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Central Continent, if the Five Great Holy Lands are the main pillars, then Xuanyuan City, jointly protected by those five holy lands, is the center of power, and the Xuanyuan Residence is the heart of Xuanyuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All kinds of measures concerning the governance and development of the Central Continent originate from within the Xuanyuan Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Xuanyuan Residence makes its decision, the basic structure of the entire Central Continent is set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can be said that the emergence of the Xuanyuan Residence holds extraordinary significance for the whole Central Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wen Shouren's words, a complex light appeared on Gu Xing's face: \"With the Xuanyuan Residence emerging, the true struggle of the Central Continent... is about to begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the coming period, all factions will certainly try every possible method to establish a presence within the Xuanyuan Residence and seize a place for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mingyi, the Fifth Elder of the Dansheng Hall, took up the conversation: \"Who can deny it? As soon as the aura of the Xuanyuan Sword leaked out, it provoked Spirit Platform realm demon beasts to act. If not for the formidable strength of the Five Generals of Xuanyuan, allowing the demon beasts to break through the Xuanyuan Residence's barrier, the fortune of the human race would surely have greatly diminished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xing steered the topic back to Hua Changxi: \"Even if the emergence of the Xuanyuan Residence is related to Hua Changxi, there was no need for the Duke of Liang to hunt her down, was there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Shouren replied: \"The Duke of Liang did not truly intend to kill Hua Changxi. When Hua Changxi and the others first emerged from the Xuanyuan Residence, Chu Tianxun acted to test her, but with so many people present at the time, he couldn't discern anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine times out of ten, the Duke of Liang acted on Chu Tianxun's instructions, aiming to test her depth; of course, there was also an element of intimidation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you know, the imperial family is very resistant to the decline of imperial power, always intentionally or unintentionally displaying the imperial family's hegemonic status on various occasions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, the outcome of the Duke of Liang's action this time... exceeded everyone's expectations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's counterattack was too fierce; she directly crippled half of the Spirit Platform realm Duke of Liang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the Duke of Liang's residence and the Duke of Ying's residence are die-hard loyalists of the imperial family. Given the current structure of the Central Continent, Spirit Platform realm cultivators are absolutely top-tier combat forces. Losing such a powerful warrior, the imperial family will likely feel the pain for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Shouren looked at Liu Mingyi: \"Send a message to Lingxuan and the others on Danyuan Peak, telling them to fully assist Hua Changxi. Oh, and don't forget to tell them that Hua Changxi possesses the Xuanhuang Fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Mingyi was speechless: \"If you obtained a Xuanhuang Fruit, would you give it to someone else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Shouren smiled and said, \"Being close to the water gives one the first view of the moon; whether there are dates or not, take a swing—what if you get lucky?\" After a pause, he added, \"The physical body has nine layers of shackles. Even consuming a single-striped Xuanhuang Fruit can break the shackles on the epidermis, releasing greater potential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The body is the foundation of cultivation; the stronger the physical form, the more potent the bloodline force, and the greater the capacity for spiritual energy and soul force. If there is a chance to break the bodily shackles, one must strive for it no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking thus, Wen Shouren turned his gaze to Gu Xing again: \"You had best shamelessly try to curry favor with Hua Changxi. The Artifact Saint Palace has yet to repair the formation eye, and demonic qi continues to leak out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a leakage of demonic qi at that level occurred within the Pill Saint Hall, given your current condition, you would absolutely be unable to withstand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xing replied irritably, \"That girl holds quite a grudge against me. Unless she needs something and I can help her, there is no possibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Shouren and Liu Mingyi: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star-Gazing Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qi stood atop the tower, strange light flickering in his eyes; at this moment, his gaze pierced through layers of clouds and mist, gazing far into the starry sky beyond the nine heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun Star had just suddenly flared bright; although it quickly sank again, it had indeed erupted with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qi recalled the message he had just received: Hua Changxi, wielding the Great Sun Divine Flame, had incinerated the bloodline force of the Duke of Liang with a single sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected that the person capable of stirring the Sun Star would be none other than Hua Changxi, the very one who had caused the Star-Gazing Tower to manifest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the one who can stir the Sun Star has appeared, where then is the one who can stir the Moon Star?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by simultaneously stirring both the Sun Star and the Moon Star to trigger a tidal surge of spiritual energy can the Four Spirit Realm rapidly enter its peak phase of spiritual energy eruption.\u003C\u002Fp>",1851,"2026-06-12T02:51:23.636Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","b6deb7d0a50db7c3c84f23fdf67b49582e619987ab44a62ff78cdc5f80f542b9","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-345","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-343",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
