Feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, he threw his head back and burst into wild laughter, though tears welled up in his eyes: "Hahaha, I'm out again! I'm free! Hahaha!"

Zhu Kun truly hadn't expected that Zhang Yuan's small world could even block the methods of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

Is this young man a reincarnation of a Dou Di, or has he inherited the Dou Di's legacy?

It doesn't matter which one it is, as long as my daughter has a very good relationship with him, I can be good to him.

"Then I'll call you Uncle, and you can call me Zhang Yuan." Zhang Yuan readily agreed.

"Then I'll call you A-Yuan." Zhu Kun said with a warm smile, "A-Yuan, are you coming with me now to improve your strength, or do you have other things to do?"

"Senior, can I trouble you with something?" Zhang Yuan asked after thinking for a moment.

"Don't be so polite with me. Just let me know if you need anything. I'll help if I can, and I'll try my best to help if I can't. In short, I'm willing to do my part whenever you need me," Zhu Kun said very enthusiastically.

Anyone who saw him would find it hard to believe that he was a late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Uncle." Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "You should have already sensed that a strange race lives in this lava world. I would like you to help me kill all the experts above the Dou Wang level and plunder their inner cores. What do you think?"

"By the way, we should set up a spatial blockade before we make our move to prevent them from escaping."

"So that's all? You wait!" Zhu Kun immediately patted his chest and agreed, then disappeared in a flash.

A dozen breaths later, Zhu Kun returned and casually swiped his hand to take out two half-saint lava lizardmen inner cores from the void, nearly a hundred Dou Zun level inner cores, over a thousand Dou Zong level inner cores, nearly ten thousand Dou Huang level inner cores, and countless Dou Wang level inner cores.

"Give!"

Zhang Yuan: "."

Yaochen: "."

Xiao Yan and the others: "."

Is this the method of a late-stage Nine-Star Battle Saint? He has killed so many powerful figures without their knowledge.

"Would you like these two semi-saint inner cores, Elder Yao?" Zhang Yuan asked Yao Chen.

If he could refine this inner core, Yao Lao would soon reach the advanced level of a half-saint and attempt to break through to the first-star Dou Sheng realm.

"No need." Yao Lao shook his head and said, "I am currently in the body of a pill. There is no bottleneck before I grow to the level of a four-star Dou Sheng. I can go back to Xingyun Pavilion and use the energy of heaven and earth there to cultivate in seclusion."

"A body made of elixirs." Zhu Kun looked Yao Chen up and down and said indifferently, "No wonder it tastes so delicious to me."

Everyone: "."

"Hmm, it seems there's a faint trace of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix's bloodline within your body formed from elixirs." Zhu Kun twitched his nose.

"Senior has keen insight." The old medicine master clasped his hands and said, "My pill body is the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Pill, which uses a drop of essence blood of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix at the Dou Sheng level as the main ingredient. When the pill was formed, a trace of the power of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix was activated."

"Tsk, if the Heavenly Demon Phoenix sees you, it will definitely want to devour you. Then it can transform into an ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and its strength and bloodline will skyrocket." Zhu Kun crossed his arms and said, "But it's okay, I'll protect you."

"If they consume you, they can transform. If you devour their bloodline, you can also transform from a Precious Core to a Profound Core, or even a Golden Core."

"You really don't need to use the inner cores of those little lizards to become stronger. When the time comes, I will catch a few Heavenly Phoenixes for my good daughter to enjoy, and I will share some with you."

Everyone: "."

Why does it feel like everything becomes easier when there's a late-stage nine-star Dou Sheng by my side?

“I’ll ask for one for Feng Xian,” Yao Chen said in a deep voice. “Yuan boy, you issue a mission within the Nine Abyss Token, and settle the payment with mission points and source points. Feng Xian and I will pay it back slowly together.”

This is not alienation, but rather a system, an adherence to rules.

Yao Chen and Feng Xian are Nine Abyss Envoys, not Abyss Guards. Although they may be more willing to risk their lives for Zhang Yuan than some Abyss Guards, the rules cannot be disregarded.

Of course, Zhang Yuan could give them gifts privately, but Yao Chen felt it was unnecessary since Jiuyuan Prefecture was developing rapidly.

"Okay." Zhang Yuan understood Yao Chen's meaning, and did not refuse, nodding and saying, "That's settled."

As for the second inner core, Zhang Yuan naturally intended to give it to Yaotianhuo.

This person has the remains of a half-saint within him and is currently at the peak of the first stage of Dou Zun. After refining the inner core of a half-saint, he should be able to reach the level of a half-saint.

At that time, he will have a real half-saint under his command, unlike Yao Lao who is an envoy of the Abyss.

As for Xiao Yanzi, Zhang Yuan doesn't need to prepare any inner core for him.

The Three Thousand Burning Flames within the Pill Tower Star Realm were originally cultivated by the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and even took the form of the Ancient Void Dragon. They have brought so many benefits to the Pill Tower over the years, which is already more than enough.

With Zhu Kun's return, it was only natural for him to reclaim the strange fire. The energy it contained was enough for Xiao Yanzi's cultivation to surge again. As for Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Fire, it could only help improve the grade of the cultivation technique, and the energy it contained was not much.

Then there's the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. No matter how well the Demon Flame Space is hidden, Zhang Yuan knows its general location, so Zhu Kun can't stop him from finding Coco.

The little Yi, formed by fusing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame with many different flames, was easily destroyed by Zhu Kun, making it a simple matter for him to find this world.

Xiao Yanzi's future is bright.

As for Xun'er, Zhang Yuan doesn't need to do anything else.

She plans to return to the ancient clan and accept the benefits they offer to become stronger.

I didn't use it before because I wanted to be with him, and because even if I received benefits from the family, I would still be subject to their control.

But Zhang Yuan is growing too fast now, and if she doesn't go back soon, she won't be able to keep up.

"Senior Zhukun, please take me to pick up a few people." Zhang Yuan handed over several soul energies to Zhukun and told Yao Chen to return to the Taixu Realm.

"Easy to say."

Zhu Kun sensed something and casually waved his hand, opening a spatial portal.

After passing through the gate, we arrived at an antique courtyard, where a woman stood gracefully, dressed very conservatively on her upper body but with a pair of incredibly long and beautiful legs exposed on her lower body.

"Yu'er, we're heading to Zhongzhou. We'll leave things to Xiao Mei and the others," Zhang Yuan said.

With his help, Xiao Yu, who cultivated lightning-attribute techniques, recently broke through to the Dou Huang level.

"Yes, Ning'er and the others are already capable of handling things on their own at the academy, and they also have people from Jiuyuan Mansion looking after them, so I don't need to worry."

"Wherever you go next, I will go."

Xiao Yu obediently walked to Zhang Yuan's side.

Zhu Kun opened another portal, and after passing through it, they arrived at the Yunlan Sect.

"Sister Yun, have you made up your mind?" Zhang Yuan looked at the elegantly dressed figure.

"I have stepped down from the position of sect leader." Yun Yun nodded to Xiao Yu, her gaze meeting Zhang Yuan's without any attempt to look away.

Zhang Yuan brought Yun Yun and Xiao Yu back to the Taixu Realm, where Qing Lin arranged a courtyard for the latter in the Realm Within a Realm.

Yun Yun wasn't in a hurry. Zhang Yuan approached Yao Chen and said, "Senior, your Flower Sect's old beauty is about to perish. I can help her be reborn, but I need her to take my woman as her disciple and pass on all her life's fighting spirit to her."

Yun Yun's ears burned; she hadn't expected Zhang Yuan to be so decisive, but she felt only joy in her heart.

"Old confidante?" Xiao Yan winked at Yao Chen.

"Itching for a beating again?" Yao Chendao gave him a look.

"Ahem." Xiao Yan decisively suppressed his smile.

"You mean Hua Yu?" Yao Chen looked at Zhang Yuan, feeling a bit of a headache.

“Yes.” Zhang Yuan nodded.

"If I were to see her, I'm afraid she wouldn't agree." Yao Chen rubbed his nose, smelling a bit like Xiao Yan.

"Isn't it because they've already taken the initiative, but you, senior, refuse to give a definite response? Senior Xuan Yi from the Pill Tower, and the princess of the Fox Demon Clan from the Beast Domain." Zhang Yuan's smile was teasing: "They're about to perish now, you could save them if you wanted to, are you going to miss this opportunity?"

"But..." Yao Chen hesitated.

Han Shanshan, whom he had forgotten and could only learn about through others, was an obstacle he couldn't get over.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If you feel indebted and can't let go of Han Shanshan, I can help you retrieve your memories. At worst, I can revive Han Shanshan in the future."

Yao Chen's eyes widened: "What did you say!?"

Chapter 213: Meeting Han Shanshan, Hua Yu of the Flower Sect, and the Two Immortals of Qinghua!

"You said you could give me back my memories of Han Shanshan, and even bring her back to life?"

At this moment, even the old doctor's voice became hoarse and trembled.

A semi-saint, possessing a powerful Heavenly Realm soul, was completely unable to control his emotions at this moment.

Xiao Yan and the others also composed themselves, knowing the significance of Han Shanshan's name to Yao Chen.

It can be said that Yao Chen's glory was inseparable from this woman, but he forgot everything related to her.

In his search for this woman, Yao Chen traveled across the Dou Qi Continent, co-founded the Starfall Pavilion with Feng Xian, and missed his former lovers in the process.

Now, Zhang Yuan says he can help the old doctor.

"Indeed."

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, raised his hand to summon the Nine Dragons Demonic Thunder Flame (renamed), and said, "After I devoured the Xuanhuang Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, this strange fire underwent a transformation. It has the ability to sense all strange fires, and the closer the distance, the more it can sense them. The stronger I am, the more I can sense them."

"When you used the Bone Spirit Cold Flame beside me, I sensed a faint soul imprint within it. It seemed to be outside this world, yet it was also omnipresent. The information it gave me was Han Shanshan."

Yao Chen's body trembled violently, and he immediately asked, "What should I do?!"

"All you need to do is present me with the original essence of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame," Zhang Yuan said.

Zhang Yuan had always known about the relationship between Han Shanshan and Yao Chen, but he had never had the right time or reason to tell them.

But now that he has become a Dou Zun, with the help of Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan, and the dimensional portal as his ultimate trump card, he no longer needs to worry about so much.

However, not a single word he is saying now is a lie.

After the Xuanhuang Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame were devoured by his special Nine Dragons Thunderfire, their abilities were also devoured and evolved.

He could indeed sense the soul imprint belonging to Han Shanshan within the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. This was mostly thanks to the Thunder God Visualization Diagram, but it was also related to the fact that he was now a Dou Zun powerhouse and his soul had reached the Heavenly Realm.

"Quickly, help me!" Without hesitation, Yao Lao summoned the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and revealed its essence.

Zhang Yuan nodded slightly and used the Nine Dragons Demonic Thunder Flame to envelop the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

"boom!"

It was as if the clock of time had struck.

The Thunder God visualization image within Zhang Yuan's consciousness showed unusual activity.

The next moment, he felt his soul transcend everything and arrive in a space within the river of time.

This space is a prison, trapping a beautiful woman alone in this void, unable to feel the passage of time, the changing of the years, the rotation of the sun and moon, or the changes in temperature.
