Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1699: Ten Heavenly Flames

In their royal chamber, Shang Zhanluo and Shang Luohu lay naked side by side on the bed. ”Have you managed to contact Zhang Fei, Wife?”

”I’ve spoken to him, but he won’t be able to bring our daughter here anytime soon.”

”Why?” Shang Zhanluo asked with a frown.

”Be patient, okay?” Shang Luohu hugged her husband’s arm in a coquettish manner, entirely different from her usual appearance. ”He took our daughter to another domain, but he didn’t tell me which domain. He wanted her to cultivate there for the time being, and he would bring her to us after they returned from there.”

”Another domain, huh? Is there a special domain in this Paradise Realm?”

”Hehe,” Shang Luohu giggled. ”Naturally, he did not take our daughter to another domain in this Paradise Realm, but he took her to one of the domains in the Ancient Realm.”

Shang Zhanluo just remembered that Zhang Fei had a way to go to the Ancient Realm. ”Why is he willing to help our daughter to that extent? Does he have a hidden purpose for doing so?”

”I don’t know for sure, but I have my own opinion about his goal.”

”What’s his goal?”

”Perhaps he wants our daughter to replace your position and become the new demon god of our Asura Demon Race.”

Shang Luohu looked at his wife thoughtfully. In fact, he had no problem with his daughter becoming the next demon god of his Asura Demon Race, but that wasn’t simple to achieve because some members of his race had ambitions to replace him, such as Shang Dongzhu and several others. ”Do you think Zhang Fei really wants our daughter to replace me?”

”For now, this matter is still just my guess, and we have to meet with him first to confirm his plans.” Shang Luohu looked up at him. ”Do you think there will be a big riot if our daughter takes your place in the future?”

”That’s for sure.” Shang Zhanluo replied with a serious expression. ”Apart from Shang Dongzhu and Shang Beixuan, some of my family members also have ambitions to replace me. They haven’t made any moves yet, but they will make their move once I hand over my power and position to our daughter. At that time, our demon race will face great chaos, and the number of casualties will be numerous.”

”That’s true.” Shang Luohu nodded in agreement. ”Honestly, I am tired of being the Empress, and I want to rest to live a quiet life with you. At that time, we can play with our grandchildren, and our life will become more colorful without having to think about the affairs of our demon race.”

”Hahaha.” Shang Zhanluo pulled his wife to lie on top of him. ”Actually, I never thought about retiring before all these changes, but it looks like I should start considering it. If Zhang Fei truly wants our daughter to become the next demon god of our Asura Demon Race, I might consider it as long as he is willing to support her from behind. Although I haven’t seen our daughter for a long time, I’m still familiar with her character, and she will never be able to lead our demon race with her timid character, so she needs a powerful supporter.”

Shang Luohu smiled at the thought. ”If he is willing to support our daughter to ascend the throne, I’m sure that Empress Huo and the others will also lend their support to her, and no member of our race will be able to go against them.”

”Let’s wait for him to come to us first, and we’ll talk to him then.” Shang Zhanluo flipped his wife over and pinned her beneath him. ”Since you want to have another child, we have to work hard for it.”

Shang Luohu smiled as she embraced her husband’s neck. ”In that case, we’ll go into seclusion, and we won’t get out until I’m pregnant.”

”Alright.” Quickly, the royal chamber was filled with Shang Luohu’s moans.

Inside the Sun Flame, Zhang Fei felt incredible heat, even though he had the fire element and eight heavenly flames. His clothes had long since turned into ash, and his skin was completely red.

”The heat of the Sun Flame is incredibly hot, Ying Tai.”

”The Sun Flame is different from the other flames, and it is actually the third strongest after the Chaos Flame and the Primordial Flame. If you didn’t have the Primordial Flame, I wouldn’t dare bring you here because your body will suffer serious injuries from the heat.” Zhang Fei agreed with Ying Tai. ”Do you know the advantages of each heavenly flame?”

”What do you mean?”

”The Phoenix Flame is synonymous with death and resurrection, and the Dragon Flame is synonymous with destruction.”

Zhang Fei was not surprised about the Dragon Flame, but he was confused by Ying Tai’s words about the Phoenix Flame. ”Resurrection? Are you saying I can resurrect the dead using the Phoenix Flame?”

”You cannot use the Phoenix Flame to resurrect the dead, and the phoenix can do so because it possesses the Phoenix Nirvana.”

”Then?”

Ying Tai sighed and explained. ”You can use the Phoenix Flame to temporarily resurrect the dead, but the duration is short, so you can use it to find the information you need when you’re in an unfamiliar place.”

”Is something like that really possible?”

”You can try it later.”

Zhang Fei nodded. ”Then, what about the Blood Flame and the Soul Flame?”

”You can use the Soul Flame to burn the souls of all living creatures, and they will disappear forever.” Zhang Fei had obtained the Soul Flame a long time ago, but he had never used it for anything like that. ”As for the Blood Flame, you should be able to guess its use, right?”

”I guess?”

Ying Tai continued. ”All living creatures have blood in their bodies, and the Blood Flame can burn their blood, which will slowly kill them.”

”Killing living creatures by burning their blood, huh? Isn’t that no different from torturing them before their death?”

”That’s right.” Ying Tai nodded. ”The Soul Flame and the Blood Flame are two evil flames among the ten heavenly flames, so you shouldn’t be surprised by their effects.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei pondered this seriously, as he almost never used his eight heavenly flames to kill his enemies. ”What about the Sky Flame and the Earth Flame?”

”Although you can use the Sky Flame and the Earth Flame to kill your enemies, they don’t have the killing property.” Zhang Fei was confused by Ying Tai’s answer. ”You’re an alchemist and a blacksmith, right?”

”I’m a god-rank alchemist and a supreme-rank blacksmith.” Zhang Fei nodded.

”A god-rank alchemist and a supreme-rank blacksmith, huh?” Ying Tai mumbled. ”When you’re practicing alchemy, you can try using the Sky Flame to concoct your pills, and you’ll understand its benefits then. When you forge equipment, you can use the Earth Flame to do so, and all the equipment you forge will have much better durability.”

Zhang Fei let out a soft sigh. ”I’m such an ignorant person! I never knew that each heavenly flame had its own function, and I’ve always only used them for fighting.”

”Haha,” Ying Tai laughed. ”Didn’t Guang Zhiyi explain everything to you?”

”No,” Zhang Fei shook his head. ”Feng Yao helped and guided me a lot, but there were many things she didn’t explain to me, and she wanted me to understand things on my own step by step. What is the difference between the Moon Flame and the Sun Flame?”

”The Sun Flame is a flame that can melt everything, even the hardest materials, which the other flames cannot do. As for the Moon Flame, it can freeze everything, and living creatures caught in it will die slowly.”

Zhang Fei raised an eyebrow. ”Can the Moon Flame really freeze everything?”

”Another name for the Moon Flame is the Freezing Flame, and it has Yin properties.” Ying Tai felt that Zhang Fei was too ignorant to oppose the ten heavenly flames. ”If a living being is trapped within the Moon Flame, their body will freeze from the outside, and they will burn to death from the inside.”

”What about the Primordial Flame and the Chaos Flame?”

”The Primordial Flame is the flame that cannot be extinguished, and it has several advantages that other flames have.”

*Swoosh*

*Smack*

”Ouch!” Ying Tai screamed as soon as Huo Ling smacked his head. ”Big Sis Ling, why are you always treating me rudely?”

”Do you want to protest?” Ying Tai covered his mouth when Huo Ling narrowed her eyes. ”Humph! Husband, the Primordial Flame has almost the same effect as some other heavenly flames, so you don’t need to use the other flames to do alchemy or blacksmithing.”

”Is it true?”

Huo Ling nodded. ”You are my husband; I will never lie to you, and the Primordial Flame is a special flame second only to the Chaos Flame.”

’Hahaha! I didn’t expect that an arrogant woman like Big Sis Ling would act like an infatuated woman in front of her husband!’ Ying Tai laughed in his heart as he looked at Zhang Fei. ’You’re really great, brother-in-law! You managed to tame a wild woman like her, and she seems very obedient to you.’

Zhang Fei pulled Huo Ling over and kissed her, making her body turn soft. ”Ling’er, you’re so different from before, you know? At that time, you—”

”Don’t say anything.” Huo Ling covered Zhang Fei’s mouth with his hand. ”Forget everything that happened in the past, and we just need to look to the future.”

Zhang Fei pulled her hands away from his mouth. ”So, what about the Chaos Flame?”

Ying Tai and Huo Ling’s expressions turned serious as soon as Zhang Fei asked about the Chaos Flame. ”That flame is the most terrifying of the ten heavenly flames, and it’s protected by a powerful guardian.”
