Chapter 2349: Chapter 2346: What Is the Origin of Flame Valley?

Things change, people change!

The sea turns into mulberry fields!

Ye Tianchen truly has this feeling when he stands outside Flame Valley, and cannot help but think of Dongfang Meng, and of Tian Shuang’er, remembering the difficult journey they shared, the bond and understanding they cultivated along the way!

Not to mention others, just with Tian Shuang’er, Dongfang Meng, Zhang Ruotong, and Liu Rumei, the affection they have for him, Ye Tianchen understands it; he is not unaware, but Ye Tianchen had long foreseen that the path of martial arts is extremely arduous and perilous. As a man, if you cannot provide a stable life, a happy life for a woman, then please do not provoke her, do not stir her emotions, making her worry about you all the time, even cry a river of tears. A truly responsible man would not do such a reprehensible thing!

To be honest, Ye Tianchen indeed feels a sense of loneliness, a touch of sadness, even a desire to despair. However, he is strong-hearted, naturally not one to admit defeat. Just like Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl said, perhaps after achieving eternal life, or stepping into the Immortal Domain, gaining different divine skills, he might find a way to bring people back from the dead!

Whether or not such a possibility exists, as long as there is even a slight chance, Ye Tianchen will not give up. He will search for it; family, friends, those women who have given so much for him, even at the cost of a hundred deaths, he wants to bring them back to life, to ensure they have no regrets!

In Ye Tianchen’s heart, he dreams of reaching the Martial Arts Peak, finding the divine skills to resurrect people. Honestly, if he can never see them again, Ye Tianchen doesn’t know how he could continue to live. That eternal loneliness, that feeling of having no one close, the scene of never seeing them again, Ye Tianchen simply dares not imagine it!

Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl—these three troublesome fellows—all have the same question, because the three individuals sent by the Feather Clan are extremely talented, considered geniuses among the younger generation. Not only is their strength incredibly formidable, but they also wield half an Emperor’s Artifact, which astounded many people. As a result, after their appearance, they caused rampant slaughter. With the appearance of the half Emperor’s Artifact, many strong martial artists and ancient legacies chose to retreat, not daring to contend with them!

Given the arrogance and overbearing nature of these three individuals, it is impossible they wouldn’t enter the restricted areas to investigate. Their own strength is formidable, and with half an Emperor’s Artifact in hand, even a forbidden zone would not deter them. Why have they never come to this Flame Valley?

”In my opinion, Yutian, Yudi, and Yuren have indeed been here, but left after arriving because they dare not easily disturb this place, fearing death!” Ye Tianchen thought for a while and smiled as he said.

”Fear death? Brother Ye, no way. These three are demon-like figures, wielding half an Emperor’s Artifact, capable of leveling this Flame Valley to the ground. Would they be afraid to touch this place?” Hu Gao questioned with some disbelief.

Ye Tianchen smiled slightly and then said, ”If you follow me inside to take a look, perhaps you’ll understand!”

”What? Go inside? Brother Ye, won’t the flames inside roast us alive?” Hu Gao asked with some surprise and concern.

”Indeed, the flames inside are very strong, not low at all. I’m not sure with my physical body power how far I can go!” Little Zhu Yan furrowed his brows as he spoke.

”Hmph, a bunch of cowards, let this God Beating Stone handle it. Though these flames are powerful and mysterious, I am a stone that can even beat immortals. Small flames shouldn’t harm me, right?” The God Beating Bowl confidently stated.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl, saying nothing, but with a flash, he flew towards the lower part of Flame Valley. Hu Gao hesitated for a moment, resisted a bit, but then steeled his nerves and followed Ye Tianchen’s lead, plunging headfirst into Flame Valley. Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl exchanged a glance and followed suit!

In truth, Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl understood well, the flames in Flame Valley are terrifying. One mistake would result in annihilation, turning to ashes on the spot. However, if one can withstand the burning inside, their physical body power would certainly increase dramatically, and their Cultivation Realm might even break through. After all, in the Martial Arts World, mastering the forces of water and fire is rare. If one could completely control the power of water and fire, they would certainly become immensely powerful. Sometimes, mastery of an elemental attribute is enough to dominate the Martial Arts World, but truly mastering an attribute is no easy feat; almost no cultivator or creature has ever achieved such a thing!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Hiss!

Four figures, led by Ye Tianchen, surged into Flame Valley in an instant. As Ye Tianchen rushed in, he immediately furrowed his brows. He realized that the flame power in Flame Valley seemed to have significantly intensified. Even as he rushed in like this, he felt a painful burning sensation on his skin. Back in the day, when Ye Tianchen’s cultivation realm hadn’t reached Martial Saint, and his physical body power wasn’t strong enough, he could still manage to reach the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley. Now, it felt difficult to enter the second layer without exerting formidable physical strength. This indeed was a remarkable change!

”Wow, my heavens, why does it feel so scorching hot? We shouldn’t go any further; it might burn us to death!” Hu Gao couldn’t help but shout out loud.

”Indeed, the firepower inside Flame Valley is truly strong, perhaps comparable to Demon Fire?” Little Zhu Yan also asked with furrowed brows and surprise.

”The flames in Flame Valley are quite extraordinary. Look around closely; the flickering firelight resembles Fire Elves. Flames that can nurture Fire Elves are praised as Immortal Fire!” The God Beating Bowl earnestly observed the surroundings and spoke.

”Immortal Fire? Could this Flame Valley come from Immortal Domain fire?” Hu Gao couldn’t help but ask in astonishment.

”That can’t be determined, and there’s no way to verify it. Little Zhu Yan, do you know anything about it?” Little Zhu Yan glanced at Ye Tianchen and asked.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows and shook his head. To be honest, although he has entered Flame Valley many times and forged his strong physical body here, he is truly unaware of its origins. Even his friends inside Flame Valley probably don’t know either. Some things are too mysterious to explore but are worth exploring!

Based on what the God Beating Bowl said, Ye Tianchen indeed felt surprised and puzzled. Flame Valley, after merely a few years, suddenly has flickering flames emerging. This is a firelight that, when burning to the extreme, produces Fire Elves. Fire Elves themselves aren’t tangible entities, just a different ultimate state of objects. However, it’s similar to a stone; after long years of forging, absorbing some essence power, it might give birth to a life form. Yet, to transform inorganic matter into living beings is not an easy feat!

”Could it be that the formation of Flame Valley hides some earth-shattering secret? Could it really be fire from the Immortal Domain? If so, wouldn’t the little guy also be from the Immortal Domain?” Ye Tianchen pondered in his mind with surprise.

”Let’s go, have a look inside!” Little Zhu Yan eagerly suggested.

”Hey, are you really going in?” Hu Gao couldn’t help but ask.

”If we’re not going in, why did we follow? Flame Valley is also one of Earth’s great forbidden zones, and the secrets inside are things everyone wants to uncover. One might even gain significant cultivation resources; who wouldn’t be tempted?” Little Zhu Yan remarked with a bit of attitude.

”Exactly, it’s best if we can reach the fourth layer of Flame Valley and see the deepest part to understand what exactly it is!” The God Beating Bowl nodded in agreement.

Hu Gao glanced at Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, giving a look of extreme frustration and some irritation, staring at these two fellows before turning to look at Ye Tianchen. ”Brother Ye, given my Cultivation Realm is only Early-stage Martial Saint, reaching the first layer of Flame Valley is already my limit. Going further will mean certain death, being burned to obliteration!”

”This is a form of practice,” Ye Tianchen persuaded Hu Gao. ”I suggest you continue to move forward. If you can successfully reach the second Fire Domain, or even the third, I believe you’ll have significant gains!”

”Ah, without any spirit of adventure, how will you reach the Martial Arts Peak?” Little Zhu Yan scolded Hu Gao.

”That’s right. The Martial Arts World is in chaos, the era of great competition is upon us—it is both a catastrophe and an opportunity. If you can grow during this time, you’ll become a dominating force, a side strongman. You have no ambition, it seems you’re doomed!” The God Beating Bowl shook its head, displeased as it looked at Hu Gao.

Hu Gao clenched his fists tightly, then glanced at Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, saying to these mischievous fellows, ”I, Hu Gao, am an ambitious person. Isn’t this just a small Flame Valley? Watch me, grandmaster, break through it for you two amateurs to see...”
