People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 205 The Gama Empire
Having finalized the agreement with Su Qian, Chen Xiao didn't say much. He pointed a finger at the extremely weak Fallen Heart Flame, and soon an invisible fire python less than a foot long was drawn out.

This is the spark of the Fallen Heart Flame.

"Elder, I'm entrusting this fire seed to you as well. I'll set up another formation outside, and then the inner courtyard will be free of any threats. Also, this magma world must be sealed off; it's best not to let anyone enter rashly. There's a strange race living in the magma..."

Su Qian is definitely one of our own; otherwise, Chen Xiao wouldn't have made a special trip to help the inner courtyard resolve its troubles.

Similarly, there's no need to hide the dangers of the magma; informing Su Qian won't have any impact.

As for the two fallen heart flames…

Chen Xiao had considered taking one of them with him before.

But now my thinking has changed, because it's completely unnecessary.

With the help of the information in his mind, Chen Xiao was able to find many of the strange flames that Xiao Yan longed for but could not obtain. The same was true for Cao Ying. As long as Cao Ying had the ability to control them, Chen Xiao could provide the relevant information. There was no need to keep focusing on the Fallen Heart Flame.

In addition, there is another reason: after dealing with the Canaan Academy matter, Chen Xiao will not return to Zhongzhou for the time being; he has to go to the Jia Ma Empire.

"I never expected that such creatures would exist in this magma. Fortunately, they cannot leave the magma."

After hearing Chen Xiao's story, Su Qian was terrified.

The inner academy had been operating here for so many years, yet they were completely unaware of the dangers of the magma world. When Su Qian first heard of the existence of such a race, he was already prepared to move the academy away.

Chen Xiao smiled in agreement, without mentioning that the Ancient Emperor's Cave was also located here.

This secret is too big to reveal; it wouldn't be a good thing to say it out loud.

"Let's go, Elder. There's no time like the present. Let's settle the matter of the Fallen Heart Flame today and have a gathering at the Purple Cloud Pavilion tonight."

"We should get together. It's been quite a while since I've seen the Ice Emperor, and I also need to hear from Zi Yan."

Without lingering any longer, the four chatted as they returned to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

With the strength gained, dealing with the two Fallen Heart Flames was simple and required no intervention from others. Chen Xiao had Su Qian bring the fire pot from the inner courtyard to use as a container for the smaller Fallen Heart Flame.

Immediately, with a series of taps of his fingertips, one hundred and eight talismans fell one after another, placing the seed of the Great Fallen Heart Flame below the Small Fallen Heart Flame, and the great formation immediately began to operate.

"The Xuanhuang Dragon Locking Formation?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Chen Xiao.

Of the few people present, she was the only one who knew about it.

After all, she had also received the first half of the inheritance.

On their way back from the far north, although the group was mainly focused on traveling, she and Chen Xiao never stopped comprehending the inheritance and continued to condense more runes.

By now, Chen Xiao has accumulated more than a hundred runes within his body, which is why he was able to easily set up this formation.

“That’s right. This formation doesn’t have any killing power, but it has a special function. It’s suitable for this situation. With this formation, the Little Fallen Heart Flame can continuously absorb the energy of the Big Fallen Heart Flame without needing to be looked after. It won’t be long before it grows up.” Chen Xiao nodded.

Seeing the formation begin to operate, Su Qian's eyes lit up, but he didn't ask any further questions.

Qinglin, standing to the side, remained calm.

On their way back to the Northwest, Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor did not hold back their knowledge and taught Qing Lin how to condense talismans.

Unfortunately, Qinglin had little interest in this and had no intention of delving into its cultivation.

However, Qinglin did ask if there was any formation that could gather the strength of his subordinates together and unleash their maximum power.

It's easy to understand why Qing Lin would ask such a question. Within her Three Flower Pupils space, she controls five Dou Zun powerhouses. If she could condense the power of these 'puppets,' it would undoubtedly be an extremely powerful method.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao did not inherit this skill.

What Qinglin said sounded more like the techniques of battle formation masters in the vast world.

What Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor received was the revamped Spirit Array Master inheritance.

One word difference makes a world of difference.

Qinglin wasn't interested, but the Heavenly Fire Venerable, who was residing in the storage ring, had his eyes shining. He seemed to want to speak but hesitated, then hesitated again, wanting to ask again and again.

...

Evening, Zixiao City.

The night was already deep, but the city was still brightly lit.

Since he had come back for the first time, Chen Xiao, as the leader of the pavilion, naturally had to make an appearance.

After encouraging his subordinates and rewarding or punishing those who deserved it, Chen Xiao led Hai Bodong and the others he was closest to to the higher-ups' room.

Since they were all on the same side, they were more relaxed with each other. After chatting for a long time, Su Qian finally asked about Zi Yan.

Despite being frequently disliked by Su Qian when Zi Yan was in the inner courtyard, this Grand Elder was definitely one of the most caring people towards Zi Yan.

"Zi Yan's matter went quite smoothly. On the way to Zhongzhou, I made a conclusion about Zi Yan's true form. She was born with unique advantages in the way of space and had an instinctive aversion to the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. There was no other answer but the Ancient Void Dragon."

"So, after arriving at the Cao family in Zhongzhou, I asked them to help contact the Taixu Ancient Dragon's affiliated races in the Beast Domain. About a year ago, we stayed in Luoshen Gorge for a while. It was around that time that the Ancient Dragon Clan sent people to take Ziyan back to Donglong Island."

“I know a bit about the Ancient Dragon Clan of Taixu. Donglong Island is a staunch supporter of the Dragon Emperor’s lineage. Zi Yan is of the Dragon Emperor’s bloodline. She will have no problem returning to Donglong Island. When we see her again, this girl will probably have the strength of a Dou Zun.”

When Zi Yan was mentioned, Chen Xiao also felt a pang of longing.

Of course, there is more to look forward to.

When that girl left, she was at the peak of the sixth rank, about to advance to the next rank. After returning to Dragon Island, it's inevitable that she will advance to the seventh rank. Whether she can advance to the eighth rank in a short time is uncertain.

Having learned the whole story, Su Qian was completely relieved and sighed with relief.

"When I first discovered Zi Yan in the deep mountains, I could tell that this girl was extraordinary. I never expected that her true form was actually the Ancient Void Dragon. But that's good too. With that girl's personality, she would easily cause trouble in Zhongzhou without some background. Now that's better, even if something really happens, there aren't many forces that can do anything to her."

Upon learning about Zi Yan's background, Su Qian was genuinely happy for her.

"However, this matter is rather strange. Why would such a powerful magical beast race leave the Dragon Emperor's bloodline outside? There must be some secret behind it."

You'd have to ask one of the goalkeepers about that.

Chen Xiao naturally knew the inside story, but it involved too many things to say.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. The Grand Elder just met Qinghuan and Xingyao. I have a past with them, and I'd like them to go to the outer courtyard for a period of time to cultivate systematically."

The inner academy is not suitable for beginners in cultivation. There is basically no teaching there, only competition. The outer academy, on the other hand, is much better. After studying in the outer academy for a few years, one will definitely be able to fully integrate into the Dou Qi Continent.

“That’s simple, but I do have a suggestion. Instead of keeping them in the outer courtyard, why don’t I take charge of them? When Ziyan was around, she was always so noisy. These past few years have been quieter, and I really miss her. I’ve seen those two girls, and they are good seedlings for cultivation.”

Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback when he heard Su Qian's suggestion.

"That's fine too. I'll ask them for their opinions tomorrow morning, and then I'll leave it to the Elder."

“It’s alright, I’ll find something to do too. It’ll be convenient for me to take them with me and travel back and forth between the academy and Zixiao City.”

Chen Xiao nodded slightly; this was indeed safer and more secure.

He didn't ask Venerable Bailong how the Bai clan's resources were distributed; that was someone else's business, and it wasn't appropriate for him to inquire.

But Chen Xiao had already noticed the high-end storage rings on the two girls' fingers.

Given how highly the White Dragon Venerable regarded them, it's highly likely that the Bai Clan would entrust them with some very important matters.

Money can be a powerful motivator. Although Chen Xiao had no intention of being wealthy, it was hard to guarantee that others wouldn't have different ideas.

Although the probability of something going wrong is very small with the protection of Zixiao Pavilion and the academy, we still have to be careful.

Now that Su Qian brought it up herself, Chen Xiao was completely at ease.

They chatted all night, and time flew by. The next day, Chen Xiao first found Qinghuan and Xingyao and recounted his conversation with the Grand Elder the previous night.

Unsurprisingly, both girls nodded in agreement.

With that, Chen Xiao's last promise to Venerable White Dragon was finally settled.

Around noon, after watching the Grand Elder return to the inner courtyard with the two girls, Chen Xiao did not accompany him any further.

"Elder Hai, Cai Lin is still in the Jia Ma Empire. We need to go back. You haven't been back for many years, have you? Would you like to come along?" Chen Xiao asked Hai Bodong.

Hai Bodong hesitated for a moment, but then he thought that Zixiao Pavilion was now as stable as Mount Tai in the Black Corner Region, and Canaan Academy could take care of it. Leaving for a while would not cause any trouble.

Most importantly, he is now at the peak of the Dou Huang realm!
As the saying goes, "Wealth and honor without returning home is like wearing brocade at night."

Upon thinking about it, Hai Bodong immediately changed his mind.

“Go! I must go! That old man in the royal family probably doesn’t have many years left to live. As an old friend, I want to see him one last time before he dies.”

Hai Bodong spoke with great conviction, which made Chen Xiao and the other two smile.

Based on their understanding of Hai Bodong, they knew that this Ice Emperor was definitely not going back to reminisce, but rather to show off.

"And that old fellow Yunshan, he's already a Dou Zong and he's still making things difficult for a junior. He's shameless. When I get back, I'd like to have a go with him."

Hai Bodong stood with his hands behind his back, eager to try.

To be honest, Hai Bodong now cultivates a level-one cultivation technique and has level-one combat skills at his disposal. Coupled with his peak Douhuang strength, he really has the ability to put up a fight against Yunshan.

Of course, the outcome is self-evident.

Douhuang and Douzong are two completely different things.

"In that case, let's make arrangements within the cabinet and then set off for Gama!"

...

Ripples quietly spread across the azure sky.

The next moment, the calm space suddenly cracked open, revealing a temporary spatial passage.

Following closely behind, four figures emerged one after another.

One of them staggered slightly in mid-air, then quickly spread his dazzling battle aura wings to steady himself.

"Gama Empire..."

Ignoring Hai Bodong's subtle actions, Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin, gazing at the distant outline of the earth's veins, already revealed a hint of nostalgia.

They were all from the Gama Empire. Although they had long since lost their relatives here, this old land still held many memories for them.

Wutan City, Qingshan Town, Mocheng, Shimocheng, Tagor Desert…

Familiar place names flashed through his mind as Chen Xiao looked at Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin.

The girl who once stood behind the counter on a wooden box, treating mercenaries, has now grown into a Dou Zun powerhouse comparable to the Pavilion Master of the Four Directions Pavilion.

The gentle and obedient girl who used to follow him has now become a high-level Dou Zun.

Looking back now, I realize how quickly time has passed.

"I wonder if Wan Yao Zhai is still there?"

When thinking back on the past, the first thing Little Fairy Doctor thinks of is the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

That's where she first met Chen Xiao.

Qinglin gazed towards the direction of Mo City and Shimo City, a faint smile on her slightly aloof and pretty face.

"We'll see in a few days. Let's go, Tagor is not far ahead."

Suppressing the pounding in his heart, Chen Xiao took a step forward and headed towards Tagor, his pace quickening.

Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin followed closely behind, step by step.

Hai Bodong was at the back, moving at a slightly slower pace.

Crossing the endless sea of ​​sand, the city in the desert gradually came into view.

Just as Chen Xiao was about to stride away, Hai Bodong's voice suddenly rang out.

"Chen Xiao, I won't go into the Holy City. I'll go see some old friends first, and then come back to congratulate you in a few days."

Today, Hai Bodong is no longer so afraid of Cai Lin. After all, given the relationship between Chen Xiao and Cai Lin, Cai Lin is unlikely to attack him again.

However, the shadow of the past has not completely dissipated. When Cai Lin is present, Hai Bodong becomes even more serious and dares not joke around, which is enough to explain everything.

Chen Xiao knew the reason behind this, and seeing Hai Bodong's serious expression, he nodded with a smile.

"Ebi can do whatever you want."

For those who are new to cultivation, the Jia Ma Empire is actually quite large, but for Chen Xiao and his group, as long as they are within Jia Ma's territory, it is easy to meet each other.

Hai Bodong cupped his hands slightly, then immediately flew towards the capital without further hesitation.

Watching Hai Bodong leave, the three shook their heads and chuckled softly.

The Serpent People, the Holy City.

Inside the Temple of Medusa.

Cai Lin leaned lightly on the throne, as graceful and alluring as ever.

But those who know her well can clearly feel that Her Majesty the Queen has changed a lot since a few years ago.

For example, in the shadows of the palace, there was the almost invisible Snake Guard Commander, Flower Snake.

As the snake-people who had the most contact with Cai Lin, Hua She'er had the deepest understanding. Her Majesty the Queen's personality had changed significantly after returning from the Black Corner Region.

She no longer seemed as aloof as before. She often seemed lost in thought, and occasionally, when she gently touched her lower abdomen, she would involuntarily reveal a faint smile.

At first, Flower Snake was completely baffled.

It wasn't until one day, during an argument between Her Majesty the Queen and the four elders, that the fact that she was pregnant was revealed.

Then, Flower Snake understood everything.

"Flower snake."

Suddenly, the sound of colorful scales rang out from inside the hall.

"Her Majesty the Queen."

Flower Snake quickly stepped forward and bowed to receive the order.

However, after a long while, Flower Snake still hadn't heard anything more.

Filled with doubt, Flower Snake slightly raised her head.

Even as she was being watched, she saw that Her Majesty the Queen had risen at some point, her beautiful face showing surprise, followed by a rare gentle smile.

Behind Flower Snake, a somewhat familiar voice rang out.

"Cailin, I'm back."
