Chapter 2361: Chapter 2358: The Secrets of Flame Valley Run Deep

The Secret of Flame Valley!

The Formation of Flame Valley!

This is a mystery that many martial artists have long sought to explore, as it is a secret area existing on Earth and in the entire Martial Arts World. Discovering its secrets might reveal more hidden truths about the martial domain!

Ye Tianchen never imagined that the azure gourd in the young Fire God’s hand, which didn’t seem to possess strong divine power, would envelop the young Fire God in a light when he entered Flame Valley. With his low cultivation realm, he slowly proceeded to the second layer of the Fire Domain and reached the side of the Fire Well!

During the Late Ancient Times, the young Fire God witnessed the scene within Flame Valley, seeing the Fire Well, which was different from what Ye Tianchen saw now. This difference, this mystery, surprised Ye Tianchen, making him feel that ”tracing back to the origin” was not a waste of time or boring, but a greatly useful endeavor!

The former Fire Well had never ceased spewing flames, like a fire pillar reaching the sky, unlike now, where it only burns inside without erupting flames unless triggered!

Ye Tianchen was even more stunned by the strong flames above, where something akin to an ”egg” floated within the fire pillar glow, resembling something sealed by Immortal Origin Liquid. He was astounded by the true nature of this object.

Though the young Fire God’s cultivation realm wasn’t high upon entering Flame Valley, without the mysterious force emanating from the azure gourd above his head, he might have already perished. Yet, despite this, the young Fire God continued to move, reaching out his right hand to touch the ”egg” above the Fire Well!

Bloodstained, bones everywhere; when the young Fire God extended his right hand, it shattered instantly. But as he was about to perish, the azure gourd above ignited a mysterious azure stream, enveloping his right hand, allowing it to resist the power of the Fire Taoist, slowly touching the ”egg” above the Fire Well!

Swoosh!

When the young Fire God’s right hand touched the ”egg,” it suddenly calmed down, and the young Fire God, as if gaining something, spoke to himself:

”Back then, Fire God Ancestor verified the Tao here, and later my father said this was the origin of our Fire Clan. Indeed, our clan’s Fire Power is not even a fraction of yours. I wonder what it will be like when you emerge!”

The young Fire God spoke these words to the ”egg” above the Fire Well, surprising Ye Tianchen and sparking his curiosity. What is the true nature of this ”egg”?

Swoosh!

When the young Fire God’s right hand touched the ”egg,” the mysterious azure power enveloping him disappeared instantly. It was as if his strength had significantly increased, enabling him to withstand the fire power of Flame Valley, leaving Ye Tianchen utterly amazed!

Swish!

The young Fire God waved his right hand, and the azure gourd flew to his hand. He approached the Fire Well, smiling at the floating ”egg” and said, ”It’s thanks to you that our Fire Clan received the Fire Power and flourished, and also because of you, Flame Valley exists. But whether I’ll see you break your shell and emerge is uncertain. Now, I must go beneath the Fire Well to cultivate, inheriting the will of the Ancient Fire God Ancestor!”

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, the young Fire God activated a power that opened a gap in the flames bursting from the Fire Well. After glancing at the egg floating above, he jumped into the well, creating the stone chamber Ye Tianchen sees now at the bottom, where he secluded himself for years!

After the young Fire God jumped into the Fire Well, Ye Tianchen’s gaze fell on the floating ”egg” above the well. To his amazement, an egg had once appeared in Flame Valley—what is its origin?

The young Fire God claimed this egg was the reason the Fire God Clan achieved their fire power, and that their power was less than a fraction of the egg’s. It’s surprising that the existence of Flame Valley, with its unceasing burn, is all due to this egg. What extraordinary qualities does this egg possess?

Swoosh!

When Ye Tianchen concentrated all his essence, energy, and spirit to see deep within the egg above the Fire Well using ”tracing back to the origin,” he faintly glimpsed a small Fire Qilin’s figure. He was astonished beyond measure, trying to see clearly but feeling his strength waning!

”Such powerful energy; is this the egg’s power preventing my tracing back?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but wonder.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen had returned his essence, energy, and spirit to the present environment. He scanned the stone walls around him and found himself seated cross-legged on the cushion at the stone table. Initially intending to continue observing how the young Fire God cultivated to Great Success and later swept over the Fire Clan to reclaim honor as a Fire God, he found himself jolted back by the egg-like object, thus breaking his divine skill of tracing back to the origin!

Yet when Ye Tianchen concentrated all his essence, energy, and spirit in the end to see through the egg, despite not fully seeing what was inside, he saw a familiar figure, a friend’s figure—that of the little Fire Qilin!

In fact, when Ye Tianchen entered Flame Valley this time, his urgent desire to reach the second, third, and fourth layers of the Fire Domain was to find his old friend—the little Fire Qilin!

Back then, Ye Tianchen cultivated by the Fire Well, tempering himself with the powerful Fire Taoist, thanks significantly to the little Fire Qilin’s help. Seeing the little Fire Qilin’s rapid growth astonished Ye Tianchen, able to directly swallow the flames in the Fire Well for personal forging, a feat few in the Martial Arts World could achieve!

During those years, Ye Tianchen and the little Fire Qilin developed a close friendship. Ye Tianchen even named the little Fire Qilin as the Qilin Little Prince!

Years later, when Ye Tianchen returned to Flame Valley to rid himself of the evil power within, the Qilin Little Prince was missing, causing him to worry intensely. Earth was almost completely dominated by Yutian, Yude, and Yuren, three ruthless young powerhouses carrying half of the Emperor’s Artifact, posing a significant threat. Not just Yuren was powerful, but Yutian and Yude were even more so!

From what Ye Tianchen knew, Yutian, Yude, and Yuren had traversed Earth’s major forbidden zones, seeking certain things, succeeding in some and failing in others. They visited Flame Valley, but the benefits they gained remain unknown. Where had the little Fire Qilin gone? This worried Ye Tianchen greatly, concerned over his old friend’s safety!

What Ye Tianchen hadn’t expected was when he accessed the ’tracing back to the origin’ to witness the young Fire God’s initial journey into Flame Valley, realizing its appearance was different now. Flame Valley hadn’t always had the Qilin Little Prince. Was the egg in the glow the unhatched Qilin Little Prince?

This conclusion amazed Ye Tianchen. It implied the Qilin Little Prince wasn’t born in the Ancient Era but emerged in recent times. The young Fire God’s words were clear to Ye Tianchen: the Fire God Clan obtained its powerful Fire Power because of the Qilin Little Prince, and Flame Valley existed due to its emergence. So what is Flame Valley’s origin?

The Fire Qilin is a creature of the Immortal World, a divine beast within the Immortal Domain, rarely seen in the Martial Arts World. Historical records lack mention of the Fire Qilin. Yet there’s a young Fire Qilin in Flame Valley. Why is this the case? What is it?

If the young Fire Qilin fell from the Immortal Domain, it implies Flame Valley might have descended from the Immortal Domain too—a mind-boggling scenario. What occurred in the Immortal Domain? Why did the young Fire Qilin appear on Earth?
