Chapter 746: Chapter 48: Elder Zhuang: Get That Kid Out of Here
Wen Yunting looked at the sky where Junior Brother Lin had disappeared, shaking his head slightly: "Even I dare not put on airs in front of Junior Brother Lin, so don’t think you can show off just because your realm is higher than his."
"Senior Brother Wen, how could we ever do such a thing?"
"Senior Brother Wen, in just a few years, Junior Brother Lin’s realm will catch up with ours. We’d have to be out of our minds to put on airs before him."
The disciples hurriedly explained, and ever since they saw Junior Brother Lin appear, their words were mostly flattery.
Show off?
Only a fool would show off in front of Junior Brother Lin.
Wen Yunting did not say any more. He was just giving a reminder that those who have cultivated to the Innate Realm are not foolish.
...
Ten Thousand Flames Domain.
Upon crossing the geographical boundary, Lin Chen could noticeably feel the temperature rise, and from his vantage point high in the sky, he could even see the magma spewing from several volcanic craters.
The Ten Thousand Flames Domain is not home to only one sect, the Ten Thousand Flames Sect; like the Canglan Domain, there are many sects and dynasties beneath it. But Lin Chen did not stop and headed straight for the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
Four days later.
A massive stone monument came into Lin Chen’s view.
This monument was extremely unique, carved from a towering dark red volcanic rock, its surface riddled with holes formed by cooled lava, faintly revealing the red-gold veins of magma flowing within.
The top of the monument burned with a never-extinguishing azure flame, swirling like a giant serpent, distorting and vaporizing the air, emitting scorching waves of heat.
Every few breaths, the azure flame would engulf the entire monument, causing the surface holes to shift until the flames subsided, forming three large characters: Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
"Innate Glazed Pure Fire."
Upon seeing this blue flame, Lin Chen squinted slightly. In the first volume of the "Ten Thousand Flames Origin Flow Chart" given by Elder Zhuang of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, it recorded a type of flame that was quite special, capable of purifying impurities without destroying the burned object.
In the Flame Dynasty, this flame was highly sought after. Martial artists practicing the Body Tempering Technique all desired to obtain this flame for tempering, and even those not pursuing the path of Body Refining Martial Artists could use the Glazed Pure Fire for purification.
A single Glazed Pure Fire would be enough to cause a scramble in the outside world, yet here in the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, it was merely used as a stone monument at the mountain gate.
Indeed, the Ten Thousand Flames Sect was truly wilful.
Lin Chen’s eyes moved toward the front. The mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect was entirely different from the barren lands he had seen along his journey; vegetation was abundant everywhere, and the temperature had noticeably dropped.
In the distance, the sky within the mountain gate of Ten Thousand Flames Sect was dyed scarlet by the firelight, and beneath the crimson sky, golden-red magma cascaded like waterfalls, forming the most majestic backdrop of the mountain gate.
Impressive!
Flames converging into a waterfall; he wasn’t sure how far away it was, yet he could see it, which showed how magnificent this flame waterfall was.
The most remarkable thing was, despite all this, the mountain gate of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect was still lush and green, without a hint of the blazing heat.
No wonder it was the strongest sect in manipulating flames in the Flame Dynasty.
While Lin Chen was marveling, two figures rapidly approached.
"Who goes there?"
Two Innate Martial Artists landed in front of Lin Chen, and after landing, they showed surprise upon seeing Lin Chen’s face.
"Are you Lin Chen from the Canglan Sect?"
"Yes, it is I."
A pinnacle battle on Martial Arts Mountain, saying not only within the Flame Dynasty, but at least among the younger generation, he was known by all.
"So it’s Brother Lin. May I ask what brings Brother Lin to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect?"
"I am here under the orders of my sect to retrieve the fire attribute innate energy we traded with your sect."
"Very well, please follow me, Brother Lin."
The two Innate Martial Artists from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect led Lin Chen into the sect and arranged a place for him to stay.
"Brother Lin, you’ve come a long way, please rest here first."
The two disciples of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect stayed in the courtyard for a moment before excusing themselves. After they had walked a little distance away, one of them said, "Lin Chen has come to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect, it’s something we should inform the elders about."
The Canglan Sect coming to retrieve the innate fire attribute energy from our sect was a long-standing transaction established over the years, and normally, there’d be no need to notify the elders. But since it was Lin Chen who came, it needed special attention.
The newly crowned champion of Martial Arts Mountain coming here, it required at least informing the elders, whether they wished to meet him or not was up to them.
...
Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
In the midst of flames and lava, Zhuang Lie’s figure slowly emerged.
"That little fellow Lin Chen has come to our Ten Thousand Flames Sect?"
In front of Zhuang Lie stood another elder.
"Yes, Canglan Sect sent Lin Chen to receive the fire attribute energy we prepared for them this time," the elder explained the reason for Lin Chen’s visit, and then smiled, "Junior Brother Zhuang, do you want to meet Lin Chen?"
"Meet Lin Chen?"
Zhuang Lie pondered for a while, then shook his head, "No need, that old fellow Du Xiaofeng is up to no good, deliberately sending Lin Chen to our sect, clearly wanting me to meet Lin Chen."
Everyone here being in the Innate Fifth Realm, having cultivated for nearly a hundred years, could be considered old foxes. He was quite aware of the intentions Canglan Sect or rather Du Xiaofeng had.
Knowing that I think highly of Lin Chen, sending him to the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, just wanting to fleece me, or rather fleece the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
Lin Chen claiming first place on Martial Arts Mountain summit, and yet Canglan Sect dared to send him to Ten Thousand Flames Sect, it meant they were certain Lin Chen would not switch allegiance to join their Ten Thousand Flames Sect.
