Staring at the endless, blazing purple sea of ​​fire in front of him, Xuan Kongzi couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration. He whispered to himself,

"However, these scattered flames are a bit tricky. If they are not properly restrained and lose the control of the three thousand strange fire images, they are likely to cause considerable trouble. I am afraid that even the vast star field will find it difficult to withstand such turmoil."

The Three Thousand Flames that had accumulated over countless years, and the star flames contained in them, had completely broken free at this moment. The only source of fire that could control these flames had been absorbed by Xiao Ling.

Without conscious control, these flames become extremely dangerous. They are like wild horses that have broken free and can cause disasters at any time.

Fortunately, when the Three Thousand Flames of Fire were dissipating on their own, there was still a trace of rationality, and he exercised subtle control over the flames, causing them to subside slightly.

If not for this, these vast seas of star fire would have already raged across the star field, causing unimaginable destruction.

Just as Xuan Kongzi's figure lightly approached the purple-black sea of ​​fire, intending to investigate Xiao Ling's current condition, the originally chaotic and disordered flames underwent a strange change at this moment.

Part of the purple-black flames seemed to sense something and actually surrounded Xiao Ling. Not only did they not cause any harm to Xiao Ling, but instead, they formed a solid flame barrier like loyal guardians, protecting Xiao Ling firmly.

At the same time, another part of the flames seemed to be driven by some force and condensed into a wave of fire, carrying a scorching breath and amazing power, and rushed straight towards Xuan Kongzi.

Faced with this sudden change, Xuan Kongzi had to respond quickly. His figure quickly retreated and he gave up his original intention to move forward.

"Hmm? This flame can actually protect its master automatically? In this case, I really don't need to worry about it anymore." Xuan Kongzi's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he smiled with relief, "It seems that I can't continue to get close to that purple sea of ​​fire, otherwise I will be embarrassed by this blazing flame."

After observing this scene, Xuan Kongzi was convinced that Xiao Ling had indeed begun to refine the essence of the Three Thousand Flames. Moreover, from the current situation, Xiao Ling's refining process seemed to be unusually smooth, so he could also feel at ease.

After confirming that Xiao Ling was safe and sound, Xuan Kongzi did not stay here for long. He turned around and flew away along the same path he came from.

"I am looking forward to it. When you completely subdue the Three Thousand Flames, it will be a spectacular sight. By then, even I, an old man, may not be able to gain any advantage from you..."

……

At the same time, in a corner of Shengdan City, in a courtyard where Xiao Ling and his group were resting.

Above the pavilion, Zi Yan suddenly sensed something. She raised her head, her gaze penetrating the boundaries of the courtyard and looking towards the sky above Shengdan City.

Those eyes, as bright as purple gems, seemed to be able to easily penetrate the invisible space barrier, staring straight at the slender figure sitting quietly in the purple sea of ​​fire.

"Has Xiao Ling already started to refine the Three Thousand Flames? This progress is a bit too fast. Even if it is a battle between souls, it should take a lot of time. Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Zi Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and her tone revealed a hint of surprise and confusion.

"Zi Yan, what happened? Did Xiao Ling encounter an accident? Is he in danger now?" Medusa, who was sitting next to Zi Yan, was startled when she heard Zi Yan's words. She frowned slightly and asked slowly in a cold voice with a hint of worry.

"Don't worry." Zi Yan withdrew her gaze from the distance and turned to look at Medusa. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She explained in a relaxed tone, "I just sensed through the dragon seal left in Xiao Ling's body that he has begun to refine the Three Thousand Flames. Although it seems a little beyond our expectations, his condition is quite stable and he is not in any danger."

Medusa's brows relaxed slightly, but her eyes still showed a trace of concern: "So, what exactly do you mean by unexpected things? His refining speed is so fast, won't there be any side effects?"

"I don't quite understand this, but Xiao Ling always does something unexpected. He was able to master the Three Thousand Flames so quickly. Perhaps he gained some insights or took special measures during the refining process."

Zi Yan shook her head lightly, her expression looking quite casual, "We just need to wait and see. After Xiao Ling absorbs the Three Thousand Flames, he will naturally come back safe and sound..."

Medusa's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she did not ask any more questions. She just picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip. For some reason, she felt a little bit of imperceptible anxiety in her heart.

I originally thought that by accompanying Xiao Ling to Shengdan City this time, I would have more opportunities to get close to him, so that our relationship could be further developed and achieve a breakthrough in some sense.

Unexpectedly, since arriving in Shengdan City, Xiao Ling was first busy with many matters of the Alchemy Association, and then devoted himself to the feat of subduing the Three Thousand Flames. The time between the two of them was not much left. The time they spent together here was not even as frequent as when they were in Xingyun Pavilion. This was really a bit regrettable...

"If I had known this earlier, I should have been more proactive in the Falling Star Pavilion. This embarrassing situation is really frustrating."

Medusa frowned slightly, tapped her forehead lightly, then smiled helplessly, crossed her arms unconsciously across her chest, and shook her head gently. Her charming yet noble and beautiful face revealed a hint of regret and helplessness.

At this moment, Qinglin walked out of the room with a tray of exquisite snacks in her hand. She placed the tray on the tea table with light movements, and the snacks on the tray exuded an enticing aroma.

"Hehe, this is a snack made by Qinglin himself. I haven't tasted such delicious food for a while."

When Zi Yan saw the snacks, a glimmer of surprise flashed in her eyes. She couldn't wait to reach out and pick up a piece of golden egg tart and quickly put it into her mouth, looking as if she was enjoying the long-lost sweetness.

"Qinglin's cooking is indeed delicious. Even though I have lived among the snake people for so long, I have never had the honor of tasting such delicacy." Medusa also nodded slightly, picked up a piece of cake gracefully, scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, slowly brought it to her lips, and savored it carefully.

"These are just a few unique skills that the young master taught me. It's great that you like them so much."

Qinglin looked at the two people's love for snacks, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

My young master also likes these snacks very much, but unfortunately he is dealing with other things at the moment and has no chance to taste them.

"Qinglin, I've noticed your training habits in recent days. It seems that you're preparing to reach the Dou Zun realm? Is everything ready?" Zi Yan swallowed the egg tart in her mouth, then reached out and picked up another one. At the same time, she turned her gaze to Qinglin and asked casually.

"That's true. I'm now a nine-star Dou Zong, not far from the threshold of Dou Zun." Qing Lin nodded slightly, confirming Zi Yan's guess.

"As for the specific time of breakthrough, I have not yet made up my mind. Young Master mentioned before that he plans to go to the Beast Territory after the Alchemy Conference. I don't want my closed-door training to affect Young Master's schedule."

"You can continue to accumulate some skills for now, and then consider a breakthrough when the time is right. This may not be a bad choice." Medusa gently wiped off the traces of cream from the corners of her lips and made a gentle suggestion.

"Also, we have received news from Little Medical Fairy that she has returned to Xingyun Pavilion. According to my opinion, after Xiao Ling refines the Three Thousand Flames, he will definitely lead us back to Xingyun Pavilion. By then, you can prepare for your breakthrough in Xingyun Pavilion with peace of mind."

"I understand." Qing Lin nodded slightly and responded.

"If I spend too much time to break through the Dou Zun realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany the young master on his travels, which is a pity."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about this. Xiao Ling is busy absorbing the Three Thousand Flames right now and has no time to care about anything else. Since you have nothing to do during this period of time, I and Sister Medusa can go to the Beast Domain with you to capture a few eighth-level snake monsters for you to subdue."

As Zi Yan spoke, she stood up, a smug look on her face.

"You did have few opportunities to subdue high-level snake beasts in the past, but you can make up for it this time. Once you have the power of these high-level beasts, it won't take too long to break through the Dou Zun realm."

Zi Yan's suggestion moved Qing Lin's heart, but she was still a little worried, and said hesitantly: "But Xiao Diao is now in a critical period of retreat. If we leave at this time, will there be any accidents?"

"Don't worry, with Xiong Zhan here, nothing will go wrong." Zi Yan smiled softly and did not give Qing Lin more chance to speak. She waved her hand lightly, and the power of space came out.

With a gentle ripple of spatial fluctuations, the three figures instantly vanished from their original location, leaving only the unfinished snacks on the table, lying quietly there...

Chapter 486 Seven Star Dou Zun

Within the star field, in the boundless void, there is an extremely hot breath.

The bright light of the stars diffused from nowhere and sprinkled on this silent area, like a dreamy veil gently covering everything.

In this endless empty space, flames were jumping silently. They were not ordinary fires, but purple flames condensed from the power of the stars.

These purple flames were like waves, emitting heart-pounding heat as they flowed. They swirled in the void, forming a huge vortex of fire that seemed to be able to devour everything.

From time to time, star-like lights flickered in the flames, as if the bright stars in the night sky were crushed and merged into it, emitting heart-pounding high temperatures and powerful energy fluctuations, causing the surrounding space to distort and vibrate.

At the core of this violent and scorching sea of ​​fire, Xiao Ling sat cross-legged quietly.

His eyes were closed and his expression was calm, as if he had merged into one with the raging flames around him, or as if he was detached from this world.

Its posture is upright and resolute, like an ancient pine tree, standing firm in the wind and rain.

The flames rolled around him but could not touch the corners of his clothes. There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him that kept the flames out.

The scorching heat, the moment it touched his body, seemed to be tamed by an invisible force, turning into a gentle warm current that slowly seeped into his body, nourishing every inch of his meridians and bones.

From the outside, Xiao Ling's figure was as quiet as a stone, as if he had merged with the surrounding void. There was not a single wave on the surface of his body, and even his breathing became so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.

If it weren't for the tiny trace of vitality still surrounding his body, others would probably mistakenly think that this was a body that had lost the luster of life.

However, if one looks deeper through the perspective of introspection, one will find a completely different scene. Wisps of purple-black flames silently seep out from Xiao Ling's skin pores. They are so tiny and delicate that they cannot be detected without careful inspection.

Once these flames appeared, they were like tiny vines, slowly wrapping around his body, forming a mysterious and strange pattern.

Under the tempering of the purple-black flames, Xiao Ling's skin, muscles and even bones were undergoing an indescribable tempering.

The flames licked every inch of his skin, as if carving a work of art. Every leap of the flame was a profound polishing of the essence of life.

During this silent training, Xiao Ling's body gradually became tougher and closer to the ultimate truth between heaven and earth under the baptism of fire.

Under this tempering, Xiao Ling's skin gradually took on a layer of bronze luster. This change was not abrupt, but instead added a full sense of strength to him. The bronze skin was all the precipitation of impurities in the body, and inside his body, it revealed an indestructible foundation.

In this state, it seemed that the breathing of the entire star field was synchronized with Xiao Ling. Every time his breathing became heavier, the boundless sea of ​​fire in the star field seemed to have life, raising layers of fire waves, and when his breathing became steady, those surging fire waves slowly subsided, and the star field once again returned to deep tranquility.

As time passed, with every breath Xiao Ling took, the vitality in his body gradually began to recover, like a bud emerging from the ground, growing stronger and stronger.

Every moment of practice further enhanced his vitality, and that feeling of full vitality continued to rise like spring water.

At the same time, the aura Xiao Ling exuded became stronger day by day. Every time he breathed, it was as if a new layer of power was accumulated in his body, making his aura deeper and more like the abyss of the sea.

And in this process of practice day after day, time flows by silently like a trickle of water.

In the blink of an eye, two and a half months of time passed by like a flash, fleeting and slipping away.

At a certain moment, the calm purple sea of ​​fire suddenly became turbulent, and a vast and boundless aura spread out, like a long-sleeping giant beast slowly waking up, shaking the surrounding void and making it tremble.

This aura was like rippling ripples, slowly spreading from the center to the surroundings. Every time it fluctuated, it instantly broke the original tranquility in the star field.

The vast expanse of purple sea of ​​fire surrounding it seemed at this moment to be suddenly injected with fresh and lively new life by a mysterious and powerful force, and it instantly boiled and surged, with unpredictable changes.

The purple flame, which was originally in a peaceful state, suddenly seemed to have ignited the violent nature deep in its soul, and it became boiling and noisy in an instant, running rampant.

The flames flew wildly, like a group of angry beasts awakened, rushing in all directions. The flames intertwined and collided with each other, making crackling sounds, and each flame flashed with a heart-pounding heat.

The rolling heat waves it released were like surging tides, and wherever they passed, even the light of the stars that hung far away in the sky and lasted forever seemed weak and dim under the pressure of the monstrous heat wave, and no longer as bright as before.

In the center of the raging sea of ​​fire, Xiao Ling's figure gradually became clearly visible. The eyes that had been closed for more than two months slowly opened at this moment, and purple light flashed in his eyes, like the materialized light of stars, bright and deep.

Two rays of light shot out from his eyes, like two invisible swords, directly splitting the purple flames surrounding his body.

Under his gaze, the flames seemed to submit to the majesty of the Lord of Fire, and they all moved to the sides, revealing a clear path.

"Boom!"

At the same time, a deafening roar resounded through the sky, and Xiao Ling's body seemed to break through some invisible restraints in an instant. A powerful aura burst out from his body, like a sharp sword piercing the sky and rushing straight into the sky.

"call……"

Xiao Ling's throat rolled gently, and a breath of hot breath slowly flowed out and slowly dissipated into the sea of ​​fire.

Then, he took another deep breath. Although the inflowing breath still retained the afterglow of burning sensation, it seemed to be filtered by a layer of warm gauze. Compared with the burning waves exhaled before, this moment was like a breeze blowing through on a summer night. The coolness seeped into his limbs and bones, quietly soothing the restlessness and complicated thoughts that had accumulated in his heart for a long time due to cultivation. It was like a clear spring pouring into a dry heart, inexplicably bringing Xiao Ling a long-lost sense of comfort and tranquility.

As he was breathing in and out in this cycle, the powerful aura that had previously overflowed from Xiao Ling's body gradually restrained itself as his mind moved, and slowly gathered into his body.

At the same time, the layer of bronze color that had been deposited on the surface of the body due to cultivation disappeared quietly like a fading cicada shell. The impurities were licked by the high temperature of the surrounding purple flames and scattered. In a moment, they were burned into nothingness and dissipated in the sea of ​​fire.

As the bronze color disappeared, Xiao Ling's skin, which was originally as white as jade and as smooth as mutton fat, reappeared in the world. Under the reflection of the purple flame, it was glowing with a warm and charming luster, just like a piece of rare jade, exuding a quiet and elegant temperament.

"I have finally finished this training. The Seven Star Dou Zun is not much different from what I expected."

Xiao Ling raised the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a chuckle. He then stretched out his arms and stretched lazily.

"However, the time spent on this training is much faster than previously expected. This difference may be related to the Void Swallowing Flame..."

As he pondered this, Xiao Ling slowly extended his slender and powerful palm. In an instant, as his mind changed slightly, a ball of deep and rich purple-black flame rose silently from the lines on his palm, and then leaped and flickered above his palm.

"What a pity! If you had understood the truth earlier and submitted yourself obediently, I wouldn't have had to spend more than two months to refine you thoroughly..."

Xiao Ling stared at the Three Thousand Flames in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sneered.

The Three Thousand Flames seemed to have naturally understood the mockery in Xiao Ling's words. In his palms, they suddenly became a little restless, and the flames jumped up and down, tumbling and leaping slightly, eagerly expressing their inner dissatisfaction and resentment.
