454 Mystic Flames of the World

The star sphere was just like the time when the dantian was transforming, and Jiang Yi had no control over it. He had no choice but to look on as the essence force went rampant. Furthermore, it was getting worse and was about to explode.

Buzz!

Right at this moment, the first star sphere suddenly radiated with red light, which caused a shock to the panicking Jiang Yi. He locked his divine senses within the star sphere as he wanted to see what kind of transformation was happening.

"Eh, what… what is this energy?"

As the star sphere was radiating, there was this unknown energy that appeared within it. It was this oddly familiar energy, but Jiang Yi couldn't recall it at this moment.

It was very mystical energy which immediately stopped the rampant essence force, it also calmed down the Earth Fire in the star sphere which was in disarray. It seemed like this energy had this unknown ability which could suppress them from going into chaos.

"That's right, this is the power of the Nine Heaven Stars!"

Jiang Yi finally realized that this energy was the indescribable energy shot down from the Nine Heavens. This energy would vanish after entering the star sphere, and Jiang Yi was never able to find it. It actually appeared right now.

"Eh…"

Before Jiang Yi had time to be delighted, his attention was drawn towards the situation on the inside. After the power of the Nine Heaven Stars appeared, it gushed towards the Earth Fire, which caused a flash of brilliance. The Earth Fire actually turned green, and it could obviously see a divine dragon swimming within the Earth Fire.

"Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames… how is this possible?"

Jiang Yi was appalled. After the transmuting was complete, making sure there was no longer any more strange moments from the Earth Fire and essence force, he carefully channeled that transmuted Earth Fire out of his meridians.

Hoo-Hoo!

A lump of green flames appeared in Jiang Yi's palm, and when Jiang Yi could faintly see that spiraling divine dragon inside the flames, his eyes were filled with astonishment. The refined Earth Fire had turned into Sky Flames which was already several folds stronger. Now, after fusing with a trace of the Nine Heaven Stars' power, it actually turned into Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames?

There must be a shocking secret hidden within the nine star spheres! This Nameless Divine Art is either a heaven-defying cultivation art or a bizarre evil art!

Jiang Yi blinked his eyes and felt this ineffable terror. The Nameless Divine Art had always been bizarre and mystical. It had turned him from a useless trash into a youth prodigy that shocked the world. Everything was because of this Nameless Divine Art.

He was grateful to the Nameless Divine Art, but this thing was just too strange. There were many things that he wasn't in control of. He couldn't help but feel terrified; after all, who knew what other transformation was going to happen in the future…?

"It doesn't matter. I am already a useless person now, and I will never be able to break into the higher realms in this lifetime. There shouldn't be any more strange occurrences, right?"

Jiang Yi shook his head and threw aside the strange happenings of the Nameless Divine Art and the nine star spheres. When he recalled about the things that happened to the Earth Fire, he was instantly excited.

The refinement of the flames was very successful, and it was better than he had expected!

If refining Earth Fire could ultimately turn it into Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames, would he be able to create the Nine Yang True Flames if he found and refined the Sky Flames?

"Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames? Don't I already have the Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames? Why am I so silly? Why don't I just refine the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames?"

Jiang Yi slapped his head and reprimanded himself for being a muddle-head. He could just transmute his red essence force into the Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames and then refine it. He might just be able to transmute them into Nine Yang True Flames.

Doing it as soon as he thought of it.

He quickly transmuted some Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames before using the sorcery art to turn all those Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames into fire strands. He then channeled them into his body before revolving them in the dantian's star sphere.

However—!

Once the fire strands entered the star sphere, they automatically fused with the essence force, like mud into seawater—vanishing without a trace.

"Uh…"

After attempting a few times and obtaining the same result, Jiang Yi had no choice but to give up. He understood that this Nine Heavens' Dragon Flames was originally transmuted by from the red essence force. It would naturally be reverted into the red essence force once it entered the star sphere. Just like when freezing water into ice, it would still melt back into the liquid form when placed in water.

If he wanted to refine a higher grade of flames, he had to find even stronger mystic flames!

"Shall I go to the Soul-Seizing Valley?"

Jiang Yi was tempted as he muttered for a moment. He then walked out and asked everyone if there were any formidable flames within the Great Xia Kingdom? Where else in this continent had mystical flames?

As a result, he found out that apart from the Earth Fire in the volcano situated in the Great Xia Kingdom's Mt. Fire Cloud and the Soul Seizing Valley, there were no more mystical flames in the continent. Jiang Yi was at a loss. The Soul-Seizing Valley definitely had a powerful soul-spirit-type demonic beast, and if he went there, he might cause a huge commotion. It might give a chance to the Martial Arts Hall in plotting a scheme to kill him.

"Let me study the sorcery arts first. I might not be able to achieve the phenomenal stage for the Myriad Clone, but I should be able to achieve the proficient stage, right? If I can produce a few hundred clones, I would be able to escape if I encounter some danger! I should also study on the Divine Perception, and I might be able to scout out what exactly was within the Soul-Seizing Valley."

Once Jiang Yi made his decision, he decided to go into another month of seclusion. He would try to comprehend these two sorcery arts before going to the Soul-Seizing Valley.



One and a half month later…

Jiang Yi's body suddenly lit up with white light while the surrounding heaven and earth essence force swiftly gathered towards him. He quickly formed three clones which looked exactly like him.

Concurrently, the three clones started to revolve around Jiang Yi and with increasing speed. Finally, they got so fast that it dazzled the eyes.

Buzz!

Thirty minutes later, the three clones suddenly disintegrated with a flash of white light. Jiang Yi opened his eyes and let out a long breath and said, "It should be good enough to maintain them for around 30 minutes. A pity, if I was given a few more months, I might be able to produce a few dozen clones."

Jiang Yi sighed while feeling regretful. He could actually make a few dozen clones, but he had yet to reach that level of proficiency. He would totally lose control and would be immobilized if he was to produce dozens of clones. If that was the case, he would rather produce three clones which he could freely use to escape in all directions, leaving the enemy at a loss of which one was the real body.

"En… I can barely use Divine Perception now. I can depart for the Soul-Seizing Valley."

Jiang Yi stood up and let out a sigh. The two Sweet Flag Leaves had been completely absorbed, but his soul spirit didn't transform. Apparently, the energy from the Sweet Flag Leaves was not enough for his soul spirit to evolve.

When Jiang Yi walked out, Su Ruoxue was handling some political affairs in the small hall. When she saw Jiang Yi, she instantly stood up with delight and drifted over like a little bird. Jiang Yi extended his arms to give her a hug.

"I am preparing for a trip to the Soul-Seizing Valley in the Saint Spirit Kingdom. Ruoxue, do you think I should bring everyone along or secretly go by myself?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yi finally asked what he was thinking. He was actually in a dilemma. That Soul-Seizing Valley had a powerful demonic beast which had bizarre abilities, and he still had the lingering fear from the previous experience. If he was to bring everyone along and encountered danger, they might all be eliminated there. If he didn't bring them along, he was afraid there might be some problem, even though the royal palace had been peaceful for the past five months.

When Su Ruoxue saw how grave Jiang Yi's expression was, she wanted to say something but swallowed it back into her throat. She clenched her teeth and asked, "Must you go? Wouldn't it be dangerous over there?"

"Yes, it will be!"

Jiang Yi didn't want to hide anything from Su Ruoxue and spoke in a deep voice, "Didn't I ask all of you if there were any mystic flames previously? I learned a type of sorcery art which has to refine mystic flames. If I can obtain those Netherworld Ghost Flames in the Soul-Seizing Valley, I have an 80% chance to eliminate the Ling Clan's old ancestor."

"Eliminating the Ling Clan's old ancestor?"

Su Ruoxue's eyes lit up. If Jiang Yi could take out the old ancestor from Ling Clan, he would be invincible and would be able to conquer the continent.

She mumbled for a moment before she spoke with clenched teeth, "Jiang Lang, you better go by yourself or bring Little Sister Xiaonu along. We will just be a burden, and with the Yazi Beast here, the royal palace is very safe. No one knows anything about us, and no one would know that you have sneaked to the Saint Spirit Kingdom. It would be much safer."

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment and felt that it was logical as well. He quickly made a decision. "Alright then. We will have a meal together later, and I leave at night. I'm not going to bring Xiaonu so that she can protect all of you. With the Yazi Beast and Xiaonu around, they wouldn't dare to attack if they only have one or two Vajra Realm experts. I will ride the Zouwu Beast and travel underground so no one will know that I left."
