Ye Futian and the others returned to the City Lord Office in Qianye City.
Along the way, Ye Futian kept thinking about the Star Plucking Saint's intentions, but no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not figure it out.
From what Shen Jun had said, given the Star Plucking Saint's powers, even if he were to take the Flames of the Way away, the Saint Lord of Jiuyang would not be able to do anything to him. The Star Plucking Saint was known for his unparalleled speed and transformation. There was no telling if anyone below Renhuang in the entire Crimson Dragon Realm would be able to take him down.
But no matter what, the Renhuang Flames of the Way were in his hands, but he still relied on the name of Emperor Xia's Realm. Otherwise, it would have been almost impossible for him to bring the Flames of the Way back.
The Xi clan would never let him off the hook.
After returning to the City Lord's Office, Ye Futian found Shen Tianzhan and discussed the matter with him. He asked, "Do you know what the Star Plucking Saint's intentions are?"
Shen Tianzhan was at the same level as the Star Plucking Saint, so he might have some understanding of him.
However, Shen Tianzhan shook his head and said, "The Star Plucking Saint has always been a loner and mysterious. However, I heard that he went to the Ancient Imperial City to steal something and failed. Furthermore, it is very likely that he was injured in a fight with the Ninth Servant."
"As for this Elemental Fire, can I take a look at it?" Shen Tianzhan asked.
Ye Futian nodded and took out the Flames of the Way. Suddenly, a terrible heat swept through the world, and the light of the flames shot into the sky.
Shen Tianzhan felt the will in the flame, and his pupils contracted slightly. He said, "Put it away."
Ye Futian put away the Flames of the Way. Shen Tianzhan said, "This Flames of the Way was left by Emperor Kua. If you can refine it, you will be able to go to the Nine Tribes of the Kua Clan and have a chance to enter Emperor Kua's territory."
When Ye Futian heard Shen Tianzhan's words, a strange look came over his face. He asked, "Senior, do you mean that there are other uses for this Flames of the Way to enter the territory of Renhuang?"
He suddenly recalled that Zhuo Xu from the Black Flame Clan wanted to see his Dao fire after he had obtained it.
Zhuo Xu was a descendant of a Renhuang, and the Black Flame Clan was a top-notch force. That meant that Zhuo Xu might have guessed something back then, which was why he made such a seemingly foolish request.
At that time, he ignored the other party.
"Yes." Shen Tianzhan nodded and said to Ye Futian, "Every few years, Emperor Kua's Flames of the Way will appear, and not just one, but many at the same time. They will appear in the Crimson Dragon Realm. Every time this happens, the top forces in the Crimson Dragon Realm will secretly fight for it. Some people get it, but they can't take it all. It will be taken away by others, or they will take the initiative to trade to maximize the benefits. In the end, except for a few people who secretly take this Flames of the Way to train, most of the other Flames of the Way will appear and be taken to the nine tribes of Emperor Kua."
"So you're saying that I picked it up for free?" Ye Futian asked.
Shen Tianzhan had a strange look on his face as well. His luck was surprisingly good. He wondered if the Star Plucking Saint had arranged this on purpose.
"The Saint Lord of Jiuyang did not turn on you right there and then, probably because of your statuses. But if you lose the Flames of the Way, the Xi clan will definitely find a way to get it from somewhere else," Shen Tianzhan said. Ye Futian was not the only one who had the Flames of the Way left behind by Emperor Kua.
In the past, the Dao fire had appeared at the same time.
"Where are the nine tribes?" Ye Futian asked.
"They're located to the west of Crimson Dragon Realm. That place used to be Emperor Kua's territory. The nine tribes are now the nine top-notch forces in Crimson Dragon Realm. They are very powerful. You can imagine that they're like cities like ours," Shen Tianzhan explained.
Ye Futian nodded. The forces that were once under the direct command of Renhuang's territory were undoubtedly powerful.
"It seems that Crimson Dragon Realm is about to face another battle in the dark. We need to be careful," Shen Tianzhan said. While the people of Crimson Dragon Realm would not have dared to act so brazenly against them, it was still wise to be cautious.
After all, many people would have guessed that Ye Futian had obtained the Flames of the Way of Emperor Kua. Even Zhuo Xu had his suspicions.
"Yeah." Ye Futian nodded. He was not planning to leave Qianye City for a while.
"Try to refine the Flames of the Way of Emperor Kua first. I heard that the Flames of the Way choose their master," Shen Tianzhan said.
"Alright." Ye Futian nodded and walked away.
Ye Futian went to the training ground alone and temporarily sealed the space. He took out the Flames of the Way. Scorching will swept through the place in an instant, shrouding the sealed space within. An extremely powerful scorching aura spread out.
Ye Futian closed his eyes and sent his holy will toward the Flames of the Way. His will melded into the flames, circling around Emperor Kua's Flames of the Way, sensing the power within. His will then seeped into the flames bit by bit.
Ye Futian felt a terrifying will of destruction in an instant. He felt as if his will was about to be burned to ashes.
The Flames of the Way were actually conjured from the will of the great path. They were refined into Flames of the Way and had no intention of attacking. Even so, Ye Futian still felt that his will was about to be burned to nothing when it got close to the Flames of the Way.
Ye Futian did not try to refine them slowly. Divine light shone from his brow. His body was bathed in divine light, and he looked incredibly dazzling.
Divine imperial will burst out and rushed into the Flames of the Way, feeling the might of the Flames of the Way.
At that moment, Ye Futian sensed an extremely magnificent scene.
The sun was high in the sky, and a figure that looked like a god of war stood between the heavens and the earth. He seemed to be devouring the flames of the sun. True fire flowed from the sun that hung in the sky and melded into the figure that looked like a god of war. Suddenly, the eyes of the god of war seemed to be even more dazzling than the sun. One look from him would have been enough to burn the world.
In comparison, Ye Futian found that his Sun Life Spirit was pitifully weak. It was no wonder that he had been able to cultivate to the Saint Plane and even the Renhuang Plane. He had been able to cast the power of the great path into his Life Spirit and pass it on to his descendants. Having cultivated to such a level, he had transcended. He was able to directly absorb the power of the true fire of the sun.
That Xi's ability was similar. It was no wonder that he wanted to take back the Flames of the Way so badly.
As Ye Futian sensed it, a wisp of will from the Flames of the Way melded with Ye Futian's will. In that instant, a wisp of divine Renhuang light bathed Ye Futian's body. It was as if he had received the approval of the Flames of the Way.
Suddenly, the Flames of the Way were no longer able to hurt Ye Futian. He began to try to refine the Flames of the Way into his own flames bit by bit, comprehending and absorbing the power within.
Such an overbearing method was something that no one else could learn. They could only slowly try to communicate and refine the Flames of the Way instead of doing it directly like Ye Futian did.
Ye Futian spent a long time cultivating in seclusion, comprehending and refining the Flames of the Way. At the same time, he tried to refine his own Flames of the Way.
He did not cultivate the Flames of the Way that he had comprehended and refined. It still depended on his own comprehension and what kind of Flames of the Way he was able to create.
Everyone could comprehend the cultivation experiences of those who had come before them, but their own cultivation could be unique.
While Ye Futian was cultivating, some people came to the City Lord Office of Qianye City, saying that they wanted to trade for the Flames of the Way. They thought that Ye Futian did not cultivate in flames and that the Flames of the Way were of little use to him. They hoped that he would sell them the Flames of the Way at a high price, but they were rejected.
The top forces in Crimson Dragon City did not have too many conflicts, except for some occasional fights. It seemed that the competition for the Flames of the Way was carried out in secret. But none of this had anything to do with Ye Futian.
On this day, Shen Tianzhan found Ye Futian and told him a piece of news. Crimson Dragon City and many of the top forces in the surrounding cities had set off one after another.
Ye Futian decided to set off right away, and Shen Tianzhan went with him.
Emperor Kua's territory was a relic left behind by Emperor Kua. There was no way he would miss the opportunity to explore it.
…
There was Emperor Kua's City in the west of Crimson Dragon Realm. This ancient city was where Emperor Kua had once lived.
The nine tribes under Emperor Kua's command guarded the place.
Recently, Emperor Kua's City had suddenly become very lively. People from top forces from all over Crimson Dragon Realm had come. The people of Emperor Kua's City had vaguely known why they had come.
Emperor Kua's City was filled with an ancient aura. There was a castle in the city, and in front of the castle was a statue of Emperor Kua. It was a statue of Emperor Kua, bathed in endless flames, standing between heaven and earth, looking very lifelike.
At that moment, there were many people there.
For example, the cultivators of the Xi clan who had fought with Ye Futian for the Flames of the Way were there. Xi Chan was there as well.
After Ye Futian had taken the Flames of the Way, the Xi clan had paid a great price to obtain the Flames of the Way of Emperor Kua elsewhere and come here.
At that moment, Xi Chan stood in front of the statue of Emperor Kua, revealing a wisp of Renhuang's will on her body. Many people were around, inviting her to join them. They were all from the nine tribes under Emperor Kua's command.
Ye Futian and the others also came. Shen Tianzhan knew a lot of news and explained a lot about Emperor Kua's relic to Ye Futian along the way.
In addition to Ye Futian's group, there were many other forces there. The Chang clan of Jianmu City was there as well.
There were also cultivators from Flaming Prison City and Crimson Cloud City.
Ye Futian wondered how many Flames of the Way Emperor Kua had refined.
"Go. You'll need the support of the nine tribes to enter the relic. You'll need to help each other. The nine tribes are divided into strong and weak, and they compete with each other. I've told you before that it's best to cooperate with the strongest tribe," Shen Tianzhan said to Ye Futian telepathically. Ye Futian nodded and walked up to the statue of Emperor Kua. Holy light enveloped his body as if he was bathing in the divine light of flames.
"And you are?" Many people looked at Ye Futian.
"Ye Futian, City Lord of Qianye City," Ye Futian replied.
Everyone nodded slightly. The people of the nine tribes stared at Ye Futian. They seemed to be observing and thinking about whether or not Ye Futian was worth inviting.
They naturally also paid attention to the news from Crimson Dragon City. Ye Futian of Qianye City came from Emperor Xia's Realm, but they were not very clear about his strength. They only knew that he had defeated Shen Jun, the son of Shen Tianzhan of Qianye City, and killed the young palace lord of Bliss Palace. But such achievements were not too outstanding.
At least compared to Yu Sheng at the Battle of the Crimson River, he was much weaker. So many tribes were thinking about whether or not Ye Futian was worth betting on.
