A few individuals restrained their breaths and silently slipped into the Winning the Qin Divine Realm. The soldiers on the border felt a gust of wind pass by, and then saw nothing at all.
Under the leadership of Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, they swiftly made their way to their destination.
He had been there many times before.
Eight years ago, he had discussed this matter with Wei Chen, but Wei Chen had inexplicably disappeared for eight years. The Temple of Martial Arts dared not act recklessly, causing the matter to be delayed. Without Wei Chen present, Yue Songyang and his associates, including the Ancestor Xu Elder, were hesitant to take action.
What was missing was a Formation Master.
To collect the Fire Shard, they could only rely on powerful formations.
Thus, Yue Songyang had no choice but to wait.
During the waiting period, he had quietly visited many times alone; the fire still burned. The location was very secretive, and generally, no one would go there and discover it. Yue Songyang had stumbled into that area quite by chance during his training and had found the fire's existence.
When Wei Chen left the Temple of Martial Arts, he had already made an agreement with Yue Songyang: this time, there would be no delays, and they would obtain the Fire Shard as soon as possible.
Yue Songyang's goal was solely the Fire Shard, but Wei Chen's objectives were not so straightforward.
The Donghua Sword Immortal and others did not know what Wei Chen intended to do, but Wei Chen had always been mysterious and never revealed his plans in advance. They did not ask questions and followed closely behind Wei Chen and Yue Songyang as they flew onward.
Wei Chen chose not to bring the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity along to avoid drawing too much attention; it was not out of anger. Within the Starry Sect, it was necessary for the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity to remain stationed for protection.
Even though bringing Ying Qin Supreme Deity would have expedited their journey significantly, Wei Chen ultimately decided it was better to fly slowly on his own. After three days of flight, they could finally see a vast expanse of desert in the distance.
Under the scorching sun, the Gobi Desert shimmered with a mesmerizing haze in the eyes of Wei Chen and his companions.
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the barren desert, devoid of any hint of green.
"What a wonderful place!" Wei Chen remarked lightly with a smile.
Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, replied, "It's only in such a place, where human presence is rare, water is scarce, the air is thin, and there is no Divine Power or vegetation, that the fire can endure."
"Yes, the location of the fire must be remote; otherwise, it would simply fly away," Wei Chen added.
Donghua and the other six were taken aback. Another mention of fire?
Could it be that Wei Chen truly had a connection with fire? Back in the Fire Clan Secret Realm, that enormous flame had been terrifying!
The existence of fire in this desolate Gobi Desert implied that it was because of fire that the desert came to be. It was a reciprocal relationship.
Strangely enough, within this vast expanse of desert, there seemed to be not a trace of Divine Power.
Did fire not release Fire Divine Power?
This was somewhat unscientific!
Leading the way, Yue Songyang urged everyone to fly swiftly. After traveling about seven or eight thousand miles between two encircling deserts, they finally spotted a flame slowly blooming.
Wei Chen and the others stopped about forty to fifty meters away from the flame.
Compared to the fire nurturing the Heart of the Fire God in the Fire Clan Secret Realm, this flame was almost childish.
In Wei Chen's eyes, the flame was only as large as a thatched cottage, and its power was not strong at all; it didn't even release a hint of Divine Power. Having experienced the fire within the Fire Clan Secret Realm, Wei Chen felt somewhat disappointed. It wasn't just him; even Donghua and the seven members of Agricultural Sovereign shared his disappointment. Was this little thing even worthy of being called fire?
Wei Chen turned to Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, and said lightly, "Yue Songyang, is this your fire?"
Yue Songyang was taken aback. Why did Wei Chen look so dissatisfied?
Looking at Donghua Sword Immortal and the others, they also appeared quite helpless.
What had happened?
Yue Songyang couldn't understand.
He nodded and replied, "This is indeed the flame. Is there a problem?"
Wei Chen shook his head and said, "A flame with such power isn't really impressive, is it?"
"Uh..." Yue Songyang didn't know how to respond. How could a flame be deemed unimpressive by Wei Chen?
It wasn't that Wei Chen was overly critical; it was just that the flame looked unremarkable and truly lacked anything extraordinary. How could it possibly compare to what Yue Songyang had described as possessing destructive power?
They felt helpless, as if following Wei Chen had unknowingly raised their standards. When encountering an ordinary Divine Vessel, they found themselves looking down on it...
Fire is a Divine Vessel, one of the most miraculous creations between heaven and earth. Even an ordinary fire is still a Divine Vessel.
Can a person outshine another? Can one fire outdo another to the point of extinguishing it?
Wei Chen said, "This fire is too weak. What do you want to do about it?"
Upon hearing Wei Chen's question, Yue Songyang, the Deputy Hall Master, was completely confused. Too weak?
"Lord Wei Chen, this fire is recorded in an ancient text I have seen. Ordinary fires emit Fire Divine Power and can be detected by people. However, this fire would not be noticed unless it fortuitously arrived here. It does not emit Fire Divine Power not because it is weak; on the contrary, it is strong. According to that ancient text, this fire ranks third among all types of fire and is called Azure Heart Fire. If you look closely, its flames are blue, and the temperature of that flame is terrifyingly high."
"Don't be deceived by its size; its energy is not inferior to those massive fires."
"Each flame has an extremely high temperature, melting the surrounding air, which creates an illusion of unreality."
"There are many types of fire, Lord Wei Chen. Perhaps you have encountered other types before and perceived this one as weak, but that is not the case. Fire cannot be measured by size or by how much Fire Divine Power it can emit. Fires that can release large amounts of Fire Divine Power typically grow in secret realms; on the mainland, fires that emit Fire Divine Power rarely appear."
"This fire ranking third is definitely not an ordinary one."
Yue Songyang shared everything he knew about the fire to encourage Wei Chen not to underestimate it. He suspected that Wei Chen had previously encountered seemingly powerful fires and thus developed a dismissive attitude toward this one.
After Yue Songyang's reminder, Wei Chen and the Donghua Sword Immortal began to reassess the fire before them.
Just like Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, the flame was not a pure red but carried a hint of green, making it difficult to see clearly.
Wei Chen squinted his eyes, releasing his powerful Mental Strength to envelop the flame.
In an instant, Wei Chen's expression changed dramatically, beads of sweat rolling down his face.
He exclaimed in shock, "It’s Paralyze! It can actually burn my Mental Strength!"
As Wei Chen's Mental Strength came into contact with the flame, it was consumed by the greenish fire, turning into nothingness!
The intense pain caused Wei Chen to sweat profusely.
Seeing the look on Wei Chen's face, Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master hurriedly said, "Lord Wei Chen, you must not attempt to probe that flame heart lightly; it can burn everything. Your Mental Strength is too strong. When I first used my Mental Strength to sense the green flame heart years ago, I was burned unconscious right here."
After hearing the conversation between Wei Chen and Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, Donghua and the others quickly withdrew their Mental Strength, no longer daring to take it lightly. If even Wei Chen's formidable Mental Strength could be burned away, theirs would likely leave them fainted on the spot as well, just like what happened to Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master.
Both Wei Chen and Donghua Sword Immortal wore expressions of shock; they no longer dared to underestimate the seemingly weak and withered flame. On the contrary, they felt a growing sense of fear towards it.
Seeing the serious expressions on Wei Chen and the others, Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that they no longer looked down on it; only by taking it seriously could they hope to gain some benefits! Continuing to underestimate it would lead to severe consequences.
Wei Chen narrowed his eyes and observed for a long time before saying, "Yue Songyang, this flame is quite powerful. What do you plan to do?"
"My lord, you should set up a formation first. Then we can work together to attack it and strive to obtain some Fire Shard. As long as we get the Fire Shard, we can achieve a significant boost in strength. It’s nearly impossible to tame such a Divine Vessel directly," replied Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, his expression serious.
"Wei Chen said, 'But my formation cannot withstand the temperature of that Flame Heart. Even my Mental Strength has been burned away, so you can imagine how ineffective the formation would be.'
'The temperature of Fire Shard is certainly not as high as that of the Flame Heart,' replied Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master.
At that moment, some disturbances occurred within Wei Chen's True God World.
It seemed that Uncle, Second Uncle, and Great-Uncle Three had started fighting against the Fire Dragon?
Wei Chen delved into his mind and discovered that the three Senior Liu from the Lost City were joyfully surrounding Fire Dragon Augustus at the edge of True God World. Meanwhile, Killing God Senior and the Soul Bodies of Great Xia Divine King and Sui Guo Gong Fu Wei Chen stood at a distance, watching. The Soul Bodies of Great Xia Divine King and Sui Guo Gong Fu Wei Chen appeared indifferent, merely observing without expression, but Killing God Senior was different.
'Fire Dragon, as a member of the Fire Dragon Clan, how can you not defeat three old fellows? Come on, put in some effort, hahahaha!'
'You three old fellows are quite useless too; you can't even handle a juvenile fire dragon. Truly aging! Is this all the strength that the three leaders of the Lost City possess?'
Killing God Senior was doing his utmost to fan the flames, laughing heartily...
Wei Chen withdrew from his mind and addressed Donghua Sword Immortal and the other six, 'Protect me.'
With that, Wei Chen cast a deep glance at the Azure Heart Fire and retreated several miles away. He sat cross-legged on the ground, fully immersing his mind into True God World.
Donghua Sword Immortal and the others fulfilled their duty, guarding around Wei Chen. Yue Songyang, Deputy Hall Master, was puzzled but could only retreat cautiously while remaining vigilant."
