"According to the news, the experts of the Night Demons have retreated. Should we return to Yong 'an City?" One of the Family Jiang Divine Kings asked.
"If we go back now, I'm afraid we will be punished by the Family Head."
Situ Maozheng shook his head and said, "This time, we came out to assist the Great Elder in killing the enemy. But now, the Great Elder is dead, and we have lost so many God King Stage powerhouses. The Patriarch must be furious. The most important thing is that the Great Elder left behind the God Emperor Hollow Spirit, but we couldn't bring it back. "
"Then what should we do?" The Family Jiang Divine King asked.
"The Great Elder and many other experts have died. We can't do anything about it. However, if we can bring the Great Elder's Hollow Spirit back, I'm sure the Family Head won't blame us." Situ Maozheng said calmly.
"Then we will listen to Brother Situ. But where can we find the Great Elder's Hollow Spirit?" The Family Jiang Divine King said with difficulty.
"Although I don't know where to find it, I know who took the Great Elder's Hollow Spirit. As long as we find that person, we can find the Great Elder's Hollow Spirit." Situ Maozheng narrowed his eyes and said.
"That's good. If we don't have a target, even if we are Divine Kings, it will be difficult to search Yong 'an City." The Family Jiang Divine King replied.
"That person is not weak. We must act together. Now that we are all injured, let's go to a high-level city to recuperate. Then, we will inform the other cities to pay attention to that person. Once we find his whereabouts, we will kill him together." Situ Maozheng said with a cold smile.
Xiao Lingyu was originally worried about the Jiang Family's elites chasing after him. However, Lan Shang had returned with the God Emperor Hollow Spirit. She would definitely exonerate him. He guessed that the Jiang Family would not send anyone after him. After all, a God Emperor Hollow Spirit was more than enough to offset the crime of disobeying orders.
Of course, in Xiao Lingyu's heart, not listening to orders and not sending himself to death was not a crime.
The cultivators of the Night Devil Clan had already retreated, so Xiao Lingyu did not need to rely on hunting Night Devil to earn Divine Level Stones anymore. However, he had enough Divine Level Stones, and could casually exchange the head of any Night Devil King for a large amount of Divine Level Stones.
Xiao Lingyu had nothing to do, so she continued to search for the materials she needed in the large and medium-sized cities.
Searching for materials required luck and time, which could not be rushed at all. However, Xiao Lingyu had to consider how to upgrade her physical body to the level of a supreme-grade divine artifact.
Xiao Lingyu knew of two types of body tempering techniques. One was to transform one's body and soul, and the other was to temper one's body through fire.
The transformation of one's body and soul required the blood of high-grade demonic beasts to complete, but Xiao Lingyu didn't have any. Moreover, he didn't know what kind of demonic beast's blood was suitable.
Previously, he had already used the blood of the super divine beast, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. If he wanted to rely on the transformation of his body and soul to improve the quality of his physical body, he would need an even higher grade demonic beast. In this narrow God Realm, this task was really too difficult to complete.
In this way, the method of tempering one's body through fire should be more reliable and feasible.
However, it wasn't easy to find a flame that could temper a supreme-grade divine artifact.
The brilliant white flame in the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron was a very high-grade flame, but its power could even suppress a divine artifact. Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to use it to temper his body. He reckoned that his body would be turned to ashes not long after it touched his body.
Xiao Lingyu walked through the large and medium-sized cities to search for materials while collecting information about high-grade flames.
What he didn't expect was that it was actually relatively easy to collect information about high-grade flames. Many jade slips recorded the origins of high-grade flames, but most of them were unsubstantiated legends.
However, there was one piece of information that was conclusive and didn't seem to be fake.
In one of the jade slips, it mentioned that in the depths of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains, there was a high-grade flame that even supreme-grade divine artifacts couldn't withstand for a long period of time.
The reason why this information was more credible was because the jade slips recorded many characteristics of that flame, and it also described in detail the fact that the experts of Yong An had fought over that flame.
Such information shouldn't be fake or a legend.
Although at that time, countless experts of Yong An and even God Emperors had not been able to obtain that flame, Xiao Lingyu still decided to give it a try.
The Floating Cataclysm Mountains was an extremely vast mountain range. Among all the mountain ranges in Yong An, it could be ranked in the top three famous mountain ranges. The central region in the depths of the mountains was also considered one of the famous danger zones in Yong An.
Xiao Lingyu purchased a high-grade jade slip that recorded the topography of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains, then left the city and set off for the Floating Cataclysm Mountains.
However, not long after Xiao Lingyu left the city, he discovered that someone was following him. However, the person following him was only a mid God Monarch.
Xiao Lingyu originally planned on dealing with the God Monarch following him after leaving the city for a while. However, he never thought that the person would follow him out of the city. As soon as he took to the air, the person turned around and left.
Xiao Lingyu did not take this to heart. He only changed his path slightly and constantly changed directions, moving in circles to avoid trouble.
Less than two days after Xiao Lingyu left the city, Situ Maozheng brought over a dozen Godkings from Family Jiang to the city he had been in before. After some investigation, they guessed that he wanted to go to the Floating Cataclysm Mountains. The owner of the last store he had stayed in before leaving the city revealed to Situ Maozheng and the other Godkings from Family Jiang that he had purchased a jade slip for the Floating Cataclysm Mountains.
"Before he came here, he even went around searching for information about high-grade flames. Could it be that he's preparing to go to the depths of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains for the 'Looming Shadow Fire'?" Situ Maozheng said with a slightly surprised expression.
"Then he's really looking to die. Even God Emperors can't take down the Looming Shadow Fire. If he really finds the Looming Shadow Fire, he'll probably pay with his life." A Godking from Family Jiang said with certainty.
"No matter what, we have to follow him. Even if he's killed by the Looming Shadow Fire, the God Emperor Void Spirit will remain in the depths of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains. Furthermore, if he really manages to subdue the Looming Shadow Fire, we just have to cause trouble in the meantime. He'll definitely fail. "Situ Maozheng said with a sinister smile.
And so, the group of close to twenty Godkings from Family Jiang headed towards the Floating Cataclysm Mountains. They also knew the approximate location of the Looming Shadow Fire, so they didn't need to follow Xiao Lingyu closely.
The dangers of the outer perimeter of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains were not worth mentioning to Xiao Lingyu. Those Heavenly God and God Monarch Stage demonic beasts couldn't even withstand a single blow from Xiao Lingyu. Even if he encountered a God King Stage demonic beast, as long as it wasn't a Late Stage expert, Xiao Lingyu could defeat it without using a Saint Weapon.
But the Floating Cataclysm Mountains was simply too big. Even if he rushed at full speed, Xiao Lingyu still took close to two hundred years to reach the central danger zone of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains.
Xiao Lingyu slowed down and appeared to be very careful. It was said that there were God Emperor Stage demonic beasts in this danger zone. Although it wasn't easy to encounter them, and God Emperor Stage demonic beasts wouldn't move easily, it was still better to be careful. Even if God Emperor Stage demonic beasts didn't move, there were still a large number of God King Stage demonic beasts.
Just as Situ Maozheng predicted, Xiao Lingyu's target was the Looming Shadow Fire. He also knew that the Looming Shadow Fire was sentient and possessed a certain level of intelligence and battle awareness. Not only could it hide, but it could also attack any cultivator or demonic beast that dared to approach it.
Most importantly, although the Looming Shadow Fire was a powerful high-grade flame, it was like a shadow. Not only did it move at an extremely fast speed, but it was also like a ghost. Its body flickered, making it hard for people to lock onto it. The slightest bit of carelessness could lead to a sneak attack or escape.
The Looming Shadow Fire's sensing ability was also very strong. This allowed it to avoid the pursuit of God Emperor Stage powerhouses from afar. Coupled with its extreme speed and strange movement, many God Emperor Stage powerhouses could only return in disappointment.
The Looming Shadow Fire was usually hidden in the dark, but there were too many dark places in this mountain range. When the Looming Shadow Fire was hidden, even God Emperor Stage powerhouses would have a hard time finding it. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu could only wait for the Looming Shadow Fire to come out to find it.
The central region of the Floating Xu Mountain Range was also not small. Although the Serene Shadow Flame was definitely within this region and would frequently come out, to encounter it, one would still need a period of continuous time, and even more so required a decent amount of luck.
Xiao Lingyu was quite patient. He concealed his aura and quietly walked in the forest where the God King Stage demonic beasts were rampant. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't easily attack.
A single God King Stage demonic beast couldn't stop him. If he was not careful, he would be surrounded by a large group of God King Stage demonic beasts. He would use the Saint Tool Yin Yang Mirror to create four monsters to help him escape.
The Looming Shadow Fire was very difficult to find. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingyu had been here for almost ten years. He was very careful, but he still couldn't find it.
Xiao Lingyu didn't find the Looming Shadow Fire, but he found that many God King Stage powerhouses had their eyes on him. When he saw Situ Maozheng, he knew that these God King Stage powerhouses were from the Family Jiang.
"Did that little girl not speak up for me? Or did the Family Jiang not thank me for returning the God Emperor Void Spirit? "Xiao Lingyu was a little confused.
Xiao Lingyu knew that these Family Jiang Divine Kings had their eyes on him. They definitely didn't have good intentions. Xiao Lingyu had to be careful and not give them a chance to surround him.
The Family Jiang Divine Kings didn't have the intention to attack immediately. They just stared at Xiao Lingyu from afar, as if they were waiting for an opportunity. Since they had gathered together, Xiao Lingyu didn't dare to rush in and fight with them directly.
There were a few times when Xiao Lingyu used the special environment here to get rid of the Family Jiang Divine Kings. Unfortunately, he didn't dare to move quickly and didn't want to leave this place for a while. Therefore, it didn't take long for the Family Jiang Divine Kings to find him again.
