Xuefeng was seated in a meditative posture, his eyes closed and his face etched in a peaceful smile. The Earth Flame he had absorbed was a fascinating entity, a molten sphere of scorching energy that throbbed and pulsated within him. It was a force of untamed power, yet it responded to his commands, merging seamlessly with his own Fire Qi to create a fiery concoction of unimaginable power.

His eyes suddenly snapped open, locking onto the multiple sources of golden flames that danced around him and his group. With a flex of his wrist, the Fire Stone embedded within his Elemental Bracelet shone brightly, as if a miniature sun had taken residence on his arm.

For a fleeting moment, the golden flames that danced around everyone seemed to freeze, their flickering movements ceasing, held in suspension by an invisible hand. Xuefeng only smiled as the flames obeyed an invisible command and converged around him in a hypnotic swirl, spiraling like loyal subjects around a king.

"Now I can not only resist the flames with my Dragon Bloodline but also control any flame that's weaker than a Golden Earth Flame," Xuefeng muttered in satisfaction, his gaze turning toward the Earth Flame Spirit that attempted to rebel against his authority. "You can resist all you want, but you are powerless against me."

The Earth Flame Spirit roared and spat out a torrent of fire, but Xuefeng didn't flinch. He waved his hand, halting the flames in midair. He took a step closer and collapsed the Earth Flame with the full force of the Elemental Bracelet. The Earth Flame Spirit cried out as it failed to resist, finally calming down as Xuefeng gained access to its power. He didn't actually want to take the spirit for himself, but he needed to restrict it enough to let Lisa absorb it fully.

"Lisa, now that everyone has gotten their portion, it's your turn to receive the rest," Xuefeng suggested as he encouraged her to approach. "You worked the hardest and you will make the best use of it. Now that I control it, you can safely do what you want without much resistance."

He gave her a choice: to fully absorb the Earth Flame or invite the Spirit to use her Soul as its new home. She didn't hesitate to choose the latter.

"It's okay, you can release it. I want it to follow me of its own accord since the synergy of the flame with an Alchemist is quite helpful for Alchemy," Lisa replied as she extended her palm to the Earth Flame. "We helped you recover your strength and reach a new peak. Would you rather sit in this pit doing nothing forever or would you rather follow me and create wonders?"

The Earth Flame Spirit hesitated, uncertain about what to do, but the decision was already made. With a dance of its arms, the Earth Flame Spirit shot forward and entered Lisa's Soul, fusing with it and becoming a part of her.

"How do you feel?" Xuefeng asked, sensing no discomfort.

"What do you mean? I've been training this whole time in the nearby forest. I just didn't want to stay near your wives while you were away," Ryan explained as he landed. "I'm down to follow whatever plans you have. I've been bored just training and killing beasts."

"Well, then let's go," Xuefeng nodded and activated the cube.

It momentarily enlarged and sucked them inside, filling their surroundings with darkness. The journey took much less time this time; the cube spat them out a moment later into a familiar dark room within the tree.

Xuefeng went on alert, expecting an ambush from the opposing party, but they were greeted by a single old man sitting on a wooden throne. He seemed to be sleeping, but the moment he sensed the intruders, his eyes snapped open, a pair of blue eyes staring at them.

"You've finally decided to show up. I almost thought someone had already killed you before I had the chance," the old man said with a sigh, his eyes gazing at the group. "I know what you've come for, so let's cut to the chase. Why don't we fight one-on-one, just the two of us?"

"I don't mind. Just come here with your real body instead of your avatar," Xuefeng replied as he relaxed. "You might be able to fool my eyes, but you can't fool the Elemental Bracelet."

It was clear the old man in front of them didn't have the Elemental Stones on him, or else his bracelet would have gone crazy in alarm.

"Hah, to think I got exposed so quickly. I knew you wouldn't fall into my trap this easily," the old man laughed, his body morphing into a tall and lean figure. "Anyway, my offer still stands. If you can make it to the Godly Arena alive, I will fight you for the two Elemental Stones in my possession."

As the old man spoke, his body began decomposing and turning into a swarm of dark bugs that soon blocked the exit. "Just to be fair, I'll reveal that every expert in this Realm knows about your arrival. Once any of those bugs touch your body, you'll be forever marked and chased until you're dead. Good luck."

The old man's head turned into bugs as soon as he finished speaking, and they all flew towards Xuefeng in an attempt to bite him. Despite being surrounded, he only snorted and snapped his fingers, releasing his newly acquired Earth Flame.

A wave of golden flames rushed forward and devoured the swarm, burning them into ashes. The fire quickly spread onto the tree, and the entire room was soon engulfed in flames. It took only a few seconds before they saw the sky again, the sounds of the forest greeting their ears.

"This is where the real fun begins," Xuefeng muttered, his lips curving into a grin.
