Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

203: Chapter 203 Visiting the Sacred Flame and True Lord YanhuangWhoosh!

A fierce gale blew past, filling the sky with yellow sand, obscuring the sun and moon. Everything visible was desert.

Yuan Feng stepped out of the Domain Gate. An invisible Golden Core Aura Field spread out, causing the gale within a thousand zhang radius to cease and the yellow sand to settle.

“This is the Dragon Spine Desert?”

Yuan Feng spread out his Golden Core Divine Sense, but before it could extend very far, he felt a dense sense of might rushing toward him.

Roar!

A Dragon Roar filled with grief and indignation echoed in Yuan Feng’s mind. A phantom of a massive earthen-yellow Dragon, stretching for countless thousands of miles like a vast galaxy, manifested. Its heavy Dragon Might swept over him like a mountain flood.

Hmph!

Yuan Feng let out a cold snort, and the phantom of an Ape, dominating the Primeval Ancient Realm and suppressing all worlds, appeared. Its Battle Divine Might was as deep as the abyss and as vast as the sea, making the stars of the heavens seem to tremble.

As soon as the Ape phantom appeared, it roared fiercely at the great Dragon, its voice shaking the Ten Directions of Heaven.

Subsequently, the two phantoms fought fiercely within Yuan Feng’s mind, battling until the sky was dark and the firmament was lightless.

In the end, the earthen-yellow Dragon phantom was torn apart by the Ape phantom and consumed like a snack.

“Hmm?”

Yuan Feng felt slightly surprised.

The essence of the earthen-yellow Dragon phantom was the True Dragon’s spine that formed the Dragon Spine Desert. The Golden Core Divine Sense he released was equivalent to offending this True Dragon.

As part of the Dragon Clan, their dignity could not be offended. Therefore, an earthen-yellow Dragon formed in his mind, serving as both a warning and a punishment.

What Yuan Feng hadn’t expected was that after the earthen-yellow Dragon phantom was crushed and absorbed by his Divine Sense, his Divine Sense actually became purer by a fraction.

“As expected of something born after the demise of an Immortal Lord-level True Dragon, it provides immense benefits even to a Golden Core True Monarch.”

Yuan Feng sighed in admiration.

However, he did not spread out his Golden Core Divine Sense again.

He couldn’t guarantee that the next earthen-yellow Dragon phantom to appear wouldn’t be even stronger than the previous one.

A segment of an Immortal Lord True Dragon’s spine, even after perishing for endless years, could still erupt with world-destroying power.

Categorized by level, an Immortal Lord is at least several levels higher than a Golden Core True Monarch.

Especially within the Nascent Soul Realm, it is divided into Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal.

Only by passing the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations does one qualify to ascend to the rank of Immortal Lord.

Only those who occupy the position are Immortal Lords.

This is a magnificent existence that surpasses the Heavenly Immortal; a single drop of their blood can drown an ordinary world, and a strand of hair can slice open a galaxy.

Creating heaven and earth is entirely possible for an expert of the Immortal Lord level.

The Immortal Dao Grotto-Heaven they establish is exactly like this, possessing an astonishingly vast internal area, equivalent to an immense and boundless world.

“Heaven and Earth are infinitely vast, and the Dao path has no end. Immortal Lord and Dao Monarch are not the finish line; I am but a traveler,”

Yuan Feng sighed lightly, then strolled across the Dragon Spine Desert.

A single step covered 108,000 miles, like an Ancient Cultivator traveling west seeking the Dao, coming here just to see what marvels the Dragon Spine Desert held.

Before long, Yuan Feng walked out of the Dragon Spine Desert and arrived at Qiong Prefecture, which bordered the desolate desert.

The Dominator of this great prefecture was very familiar to him: it was the Sacred Fire Cult.

Yuan Feng pondered for a moment and decided to pay a visit to this great Golden Core Sect.

This was the same principle as the Luotian Sect; the two families were related by marriage and could maintain friendly relations.

Of course, the situation with the Sacred Fire Cult was quite special.

After all, their Saintess, hailed as having the greatest Aptitude in 30,000 years, had her maidenhood taken and even bore a daughter.

This was an unacceptable matter for a major power that had inherited its Legacy for many years.

If it weren’t for True Monarch Shuxuan backing Chen Zhuxiao back then, the Sacred Fire Cult would have long since sought out the Chen Family to demand an explanation and punish them.

Both reasonably and emotionally, the Chen Family needed to give the Sacred Fire Cult an explanation.

Sacred Fire Cult Headquarters.

A Domain Gate appeared, and a magnificent, robust figure stepped out. Six zhang tall, with black fur swaying in the wind, he resembled a world-dominating Demon God descending. The two basins of flame in front of the Sacred Fire Cult’s main gate shot up ten thousand zhang high.

“This humble one... this humble one... greets, greets the Demon Monarch.”

The Protector Divine General guarding the mountain gate tremblingly revealed himself. Even though his current form was three zhang tall, in his eyes, Yuan Feng’s figure was as towering as the heavens, and the pressure emanating from him was unparalleled, nearly suffocating him.

“I am the Dou Zhan Demon Lord, and I have specially come to visit the Sacred Fire Cult.”

Yuan Feng said indifferently.

The voice wasn’t loud, but it pierced the clouds and echoed in every corner of the Sacred Fire Cult.

Boom!

The sound of flames exploding rang out. A great Dao composed of Supreme Fire extended from the depths of the Sacred Fire Cult. Around it, Vermilion Birds soared and Bi Fang spread its wings, as if welcoming a Heavenly God inside.

Yuan Feng naturally stepped onto the Supreme Fire Great Dao. Battle Dao Principles emerged, brilliant and eternal. The might of the Dou Zhan Golden Core shook heaven and earth, shocking the entire Qiong Prefecture!

Inside a great hall standing in a sea of fire, a pair of golden-red pupils opened. Supreme Fire surged and billowed, like the revival of a primeval behemoth. The Golden Core might struck heaven and earth, matching the Aura Yuan Feng released.

“I am Yan Huang!”

As the words fell, a Fire Divine Being walked out of the great hall, looking at Yuan Feng, who had been guided by the Supreme Fire Great Dao.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yan Huang.”

Yuan Feng bowed slightly.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan.”

True Monarch Yanhuang also returned the bow.

Next, this Supreme Fire True Monarch invited Yuan Feng into the great hall and asked straightforwardly, “May I ask, Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan, why you have come to my Sacred Fire Cult?”

He frequently traveled in the Outer Heavens, seeking the Late Stage Golden Core.

All matters, great and small, within the Sacred Fire Cult were managed by another Sacred Fire Cult True Monarch, Blazing Ash True Monarch.

If the Daye Cultivation Kingdom hadn’t gone mad and sent three Nascent Souls and over ten Golden Cores to pressure the Western Region, he wouldn’t have been called back by Blazing Ash True Monarch.

Therefore, he hadn’t paid much attention to the matter between Chen Zhuxiao and Liu Tingshu.

His own Dao path was the most important thing.

As for the Saintess, they could talk about it once she grew up, even if she was called the one with the greatest Aptitude in 30,000 years.

It is worth mentioning that the Sacred Fire Cult currently only has two True Monarchs.

One is Blazing Ash True Monarch, who is at the Late Stage Golden Core and is responsible for managing all the duties, great and small, of the Sacred Fire Cult.

The other is True Monarch Yanhuang, who is standing before Yuan Feng. He is at the Middle Stage Golden Core cultivation, having been stuck at twenty-six strands of Golden Nature for many years, unable to condense the twenty-seventh strand of Golden Nature to step into the Late Stage Golden Core.

Because of this, he spent most of his time traveling in the Outer Heavens, seeking a suitable world to invade, thereby receiving feedback from the Luotian Realm and entering the Late Stage Golden Core.

Unfortunately, he spent hundreds of years traveling through the Outer Heavens Starry Sky, facing life and death several times, yet still hasn’t found a suitable world.

“May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what is your opinion on your sect’s Saintess being confined to the Forbidden Ground for losing her maidenhood?”

Yuan Feng asked with an unchanged expression.

“You mean Tingshu, that girl.”

True Monarch Yanhuang, upon hearing this, rarely showed a contemplative look before replying, “This was her own choice. All we elders can do is support her.”

“Speaking of which, I am still very optimistic about Tingshu. With her Aptitude and the nurturing of the Immortal Fire, achieving the Golden Core in the future is a certainty.”

“However, losing her maidenhood may not necessarily be a bad thing. The Mortal World is full of phenomena, and all living beings in the world are emotional. My Sacred Fire Cult is not a place that Cultivates the Heartless Dao.”

After hearing this, Yuan Feng couldn’t help but glance at True Monarch Yanhuang again.

In his opinion, this True Monarch’s nature was not very suitable for cultivating Supreme Fire; cultivating Li Fire would be much more appropriate.

“Since you elders support her, why is Liu Tingshu still confined within the Forbidden Ground?”

Yuan Feng asked.

“The rules of the sect cannot be violated. Even if we support her, Tingshu must still receive punishment, and this was requested by the Immortal Fire.”

True Monarch Yanhuang explained.

“May I meet your sect’s Saintess?”

Yuan Feng looked at True Monarch Yanhuang.

“Why does Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan wish to see Tingshu?”

True Monarch Yanhuang countered.

“As an elder of that boy Zhu Xiao, I naturally came here to clean up his mess.”

Yuan Feng replied calmly.

Chen Zhuxiao hasn’t yet learned the news that Chen Xianting was transported to the Chongming Realm.

Since that boy took Mo Li down the mountain, he hasn’t returned home for fifteen or twenty years.

If Liu Tingshu knew her daughter had been transported to another Realm, she would likely be furious.

“So it’s the boy who Cultivates Divine Thunder. If it weren’t for the deterrence of True Monarch Shuxuan, Senior Brother Yan Jin would have long since gone to the Chen Family to bring him back to the Sacred Fire Cult to atone for his sins.”

True Monarch Yanhuang said this.

When Blazing Ash True Monarch, her Master, learned that Liu Tingshu had lost her maidenhood, he was so furious that he immediately intended to enter the Dragon Spine Desert, seize Chen Zhuxiao, and bring him back to the Sacred Fire Cult to be punished according to the Sacred Sect’s rules.

He was only stopped by Venerable Shu Xuan.

This Venerable personally visited the Sacred Fire Cult and subdued the two Senior/Junior Brothers.

Afterwards, he entered the Forbidden Ground again to persuade the Immortal Fire, which finally spared Chen Zhuxiao from a calamity.

“Ultimately, my Chen Family is indebted to your esteemed sect for this matter.”

Yuan Feng spoke, looking directly at True Monarch Yanhuang, imposing without anger: “I can repay this with a favor.”

“Your favor?”

True Monarch Yanhuang shook his head and laughed, “Although True Monarch Lu Ge was defeated by your hand, having fallen in Realm, he isn’t that strong anymore. I also have the confidence to kill him.”

Yuan Feng showed a strange expression and asked again, “Are you sure you don’t want my favor? Perhaps when I advance to Nascent Soul in the future, this favor will be worth a fortune.”

Forget Nascent Soul, with the System, achieving the dao position would be no problem for him.

The favor of a future Dao Monarch would be unimaginable for the Sacred Fire Cult.

“Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan, there’s no need for that.”

True Monarch Yanhuang shook his head, then hesitated before saying:

“However, if you truly wish to repay my sect... you can notify us after discovering a suitable world in the Outer Heavens, allowing my sect to participate alongside you.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Yuan Feng looked at True Monarch Yanhuang with a half-smile: “Does your esteemed sect need it, or does the True Monarch alone need it?”

Before coming to the Western Region, he specifically asked Ghost Axe about various news concerning the Western Region.

This True Monarch once said that True Monarch Yanhuang of the Sacred Fire Cult had been stuck at the Middle Stage Golden Core Realm for many years and had been unable to cross over.

According to True Monarch Ghost Axe’s conjecture, the reason True Monarch Yanhuang couldn’t Breakthrough to the Late Stage Golden Core was that the position he sensed was unsuitable for him.

In other words, he wasn’t very suitable for following the Supreme Fire Dao path.

Unfortunately, he had already proven the Supreme Fire Golden Core and couldn’t turn back; he could only bite the bullet and continue.

“It seems Fellow Daoist is already aware.”

True Monarch Yanhuang sighed faintly.

Many Golden Core True Monarchs within Great Qi knew that he was trapped at the Middle Stage Golden Core, and he was indifferent to it anyway.

“What if I told you that I discovered a medium-sized world in the Outer Heavens suitable for invasion? I wonder if Fellow Daoist would be interested?”

Yuan Feng’s expression was calm.

“What?!”

True Monarch Yanhuang grew agitated, and the Supreme Fire around him erupted violently. Terrifying energy, like a great star exploding, impacted all directions, and the Void Realm instantly collapsed.
