Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 313 Burning Flame Valley

Fenyan Valley, one of the three valleys in Zhongzhou, is located in the southwest of the Central Region and is one of the overlords of the southwest.

The place where it sits is called the Scorching Fire Mountains.

This mountain range, even in the entire Central Region, or even in the Central Plains, has a great reputation. The Burning Flame Valley is located here, which is of course the main reason, and the other reason is because of the harsh environment of this mountain range.

Since there are endless volcanoes in this area and the fire energy in the mountains is extremely rich, practicing fire-attributed techniques here will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, even though people know that the fire poison here is quite dangerous, there are still many people who take the risk to come here to practice.

Today, above the sky of the Scorching Mountains, a huge, slender black shadow quickly crossed the sky and swept straight into the continuous mountains. After a long while, it slowly descended and stopped in the air above a towering mountain peak.

Upon closer inspection, the black shadow turned out to be a giant python hundreds of feet long, with three figures on its back.

The three of them jumped off the giant snake and landed on the mountain in front.

Lin Yuan looked around and saw thick white smoke rising from the volcanoes in the stretch of mountains, with magma occasionally flowing out.

Not far ahead are two extremely majestic red mountains. The two mountains are closely leaning against each other, and a winding stone staircase climbs up from the foot of the mountain.

"It took seven days, but we finally got there. The space ability of the Taixu Ancient Dragon is really useful!"

Looking at the end of the stone stairs in front of him, Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

After acquiring the spatial talent of the Taixu Ancient Dragon, combined with the void-swimming technique, he no longer needed to go through special wormholes, and his ability to travel was greatly improved.

This time, he brought Zi Yan and Qing Lin, and with the blessing of the Wings of the Sky Phoenix, he crossed the void from the Beast Realm and arrived at the southwestern region of the Central Realm in just five days. It took him another two days to accurately reach the Scorching Mountains.

In the past, it would take at least a month to get here from the Beast Territory.

Qinglin who was standing by had a green light flashing in his green eyes, and the black python in the air suddenly disappeared and was once again absorbed into the space within his pupils.

When Zi Yan saw this, a hint of envy emerged in her eyes - even though the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan had outstanding spatial talents, they could not open up this kind of portable space like the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils, and carry a large group of younger brothers and thugs with them.

Shaking her head, she withdrew her greedy gaze and cast it towards the center of the mountain range. The space there was faintly emitting an astonishing spatial fluctuation.

"The shield is a bit similar to the inner courtyard. Is the Burning Flame Valley inside that?" Zi Yan raised her eyebrows and murmured.

"It's here, right after I took out the space barrier!" Lin Yuan smiled and said calmly, "Since you're a guest, just knock on the door first!"

Before he finished speaking, a powerful aura of Dou Zun and Lingjing, accompanied by the sound of the soul, went straight to the center of the mountain range.

"Danta Linyuan, come and visit!"
-
The meeting hall in Fenyan Valley was filled with noise.

On the throne in the center of the hall, a red-haired middle-aged man sat upright, staring at the silver invitation floating in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he was thinking and weighing something.

Not far from him, a woman in red stood there gracefully.

The girl had a very remarkable appearance, with long fiery red hair and a hint of heroism between her slender eyebrows. With her fiery red outfit, she looked particularly heroic.

The most impressive thing is the dark red whip wrapped around her slender waist, which outlines her waist in an extremely charming way.

The girl looked away from the silver invitation and looked at the elders who were discussing excitedly below. A hint of helplessness appeared in her heroic eyes, and below...

"Should we send someone to watch the Thunder Clan's grand event?"

"Of course, this is a top continental event, and it's a rare opportunity for our Burning Flame Valley to receive an invitation. Wouldn't it be a pity not to go? In any case, it's better to let the disciples go and see it..."

"Is it interesting to serve as a foil for others? Won't it undermine the confidence of the disciples?"

"Don't spoil your disciples too much. You don't even dare to let them see the real world. Do you intend to make them become frogs in a well?"

"I agree. A disciple whose faith is broken by the strength of others is not a talent worth cultivating."

"However, I have heard before that invitations to the grand gatherings of ancient clans are generally only available to forces with 'saints'. Why is it that our Burning Flame Valley also..."

Hearing this question, the corners of the red-dressed girl's mouth curled up slightly.

After a heated discussion among the elders, their gazes, all with different thoughts in mind, finally converged on the red-haired middle-aged man on the throne: "Lord Valley Master, what do you think? Should I, Fenyan Valley, go to watch the ceremony? If so, who will we send?"

This person is none other than the current leader of Fenyan Valley - Tang Zhen, a powerful warrior with the cultivation base of Five-Star Dou Zun, and also the master of Nine-Dragon Thunder Fire.

Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Tang Zhen reached out his hand, slowly put away the invitation card that was flashing with lightning in front of him, slowly opened his mouth, and prepared to express his opinion.

At this moment, a clear voice of a soul suddenly sounded in the spacious hall.

"Danta Linyuan, come and visit!"

This sudden voice interrupted what Tang Zhen was about to say. The four words "Danta Linyuan" made his eyes flash and a solemn look appeared on his face.

As for the others, when they realized what was happening, they...

"Danta Linyuan? The soul pressure I just felt, hiss, could it be the legendary one?"

"Lin Yuan, the eighth-rank master who is titled Medicine Lord?"

"Is it really that Grandmaster? If it is really that master, why would this peerless genius who is famous throughout the Central Plains suddenly come to my Burning Flame Valley?"

"Silence!" Tang Zhen shouted in a low voice, stood up from the throne, and said in a deep voice: "The person coming is definitely not simple. I will go to take a look. You should be prepared to welcome the distinguished guest..."

Before he finished speaking, he stepped into the air and galloped towards the mountain gate first.

As a person with a Dou Sheng in his family and a medicine refining enthusiast, his knowledge is far stronger than that of ordinary Dou Zun. The hint of soul pressure contained in the voice just now... is the breath of the spiritual realm. The person who came is an eighth-grade medicine refining master.

"Mr. Yao, is this Lin Yuan?" A hint of curiosity flashed in the red-clothed girl's eyes, and then she spread a pair of fiery red wings and chased towards the mountain gate.

Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately moved and disappeared into the hall.
-
Outside the Burning Flame Valley.

Lin Yuan took Zi Yan and Qing Lin and walked up the winding stone steps in the mountain leisurely as if they were taking a stroll.

When the three of them reached the end of the stone stairs, a space barrier appeared clearly in their sight. Lin Yuan pressed lightly on the space barrier with his hand, and an astonishing rebound force suddenly burst out, bouncing his palm away.

"Such a solid space barrier, it should be able to withstand the power of Dou Zun level."

Lin Yuan looked at the barrier with interest and nodded in appreciation: "It's so large and yet so solid. It seems that Burning Flame Valley has put a lot of thought into it..."

"Hey, do you want me to take action and smash this space barrier?" Seeing this, Zi Yan clenched her fists eagerly. Hearing this, Lin Yuan hurriedly grabbed her little hand and said helplessly: "You! We are here to visit, not to rob. Besides, the people who welcome us... are here!" As he said this, he looked forward calmly.

At the end of the stone stairs, a strange wave suddenly spread across the space barrier. The next moment, a crack several feet wide appeared on the space barrier.

"Tang Zhen apologizes for not welcoming you, distinguished guest!"

A steady voice came from the crack, and then a middle-aged man with red hair and a young girl in red walked out of the crack steadily.

"The cultivation level is at the peak of the Five-star Dou Zun level. It seems that this is Tang Zhen for sure! This girl's cultivation level is quite good... She is already at the Four-star Dou Huang level. She should be Tang Zhen's daughter Tang Huo'er."

Sensing the cultivation level of the two people in front of him, Lin Yuan immediately confirmed the identity of the visitor.

Seeing Lin Yuan's young face and the eighth-grade alchemist badge on his chest, Tang Zhen was slightly startled, but he hid it very well and didn't reveal it.

His gaze swept across Lin Yuan, Qing Lin and Zi Yan, and as he scanned, the astonishment in his eyes became more and more intense.

From Lin Yuan, he not only sensed the aura of the Spirit Realm, but also the aura of a Dou Zun. Such a young Dou Zun and an eighth-grade Grandmaster? As for the two girls, Tang was shocked to find that he could not see through their cultivation.

"Danta Linyuan, greetings to Valley Master Tang!"

Lin Yuan took a step forward, bowed to Tang Zhen, and chuckled, "I am sorry for visiting you without informing you in advance. Please forgive me, Master Tang."

Hearing this, Tang Zhen waved his hand and chuckled, "Your Excellency is too polite. It is an honor for Fen Yan Valley that the famous Yao Jun from Zhongzhou can come to visit us! Let's go inside and have a chat. I have arranged for someone to welcome the three of you. Please..."

As he spoke, he took the lead and stepped lightly towards the space crack. As his footsteps stepped into the space crack, his figure mysteriously disappeared.

The girl in red looked at the three people deeply, then turned around and stepped into the space crack.

"It seems that the news of the eighth-grade assessment of Danta has completely spread throughout Zhongzhou. Haha, Yao Jun...is well-known in Zhongzhou, and I can be considered a person of status in the martial arts world!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and walked into the space crack with Qinglin and Ziyan. The moment he entered, the light in front of him suddenly became brighter. He closed his eyes slightly out of habit, and then slowly opened them.

What you see is a bluestone staircase. Around the staircase is a lush green area that is completely different from the red outside.

Looking into the distance, I saw many buildings emerging from the green shade beside the stone steps. Faintly, I could hear some human voices coming from afar, circling in the endless valley.

Inside and outside the barrier, the two worlds are almost a world of their own.

The fire energy in this space within the shield is still as dense as the outside world, but it has been completely purified. The violent energy has dissipated.
"To be able to open up such a holy place for cultivation in this continuous volcano, the foundation and courage of the Burning Flame Valley are truly extraordinary, worthy of that..."

Lin Yuan admired the unusual and magnificent scenery of Fenyan Valley meaningfully.

Hearing this, Tang Zhen's pupils shrank slightly, and then he waved his hands and said modestly: "Haha, Mr. Yaojun, you are too kind!"

"Compared with the Dan world of Dan Tower, the little tricks of my Burning Flame Valley are still dwarfed by the big ones. Moreover, with a rising star like you who is so talented, the future of Dan Tower will be even more powerful than that of my Burning Flame Valley."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The Xiao clan, which inherited the five great powers from a thousand years ago, has been destroyed. Although their own clan seems powerful, it is far from comparable to that time. They don't even dare to explore the mystery of the ancestor's fall.

While the two were talking, more than ten figures flashed over and landed around the stone stairs.

When their eyes fell on Tang Zhen, the wariness on their faces weakened, and they bowed respectfully to him.

"Valley Master! Senior Sister Huo'er!"

These figures were wearing red clothes, and judging from their appearance, they were not very old, but their cultivation was quite good. They were all at the level of Dou Wang or above, and there were a few Dou Huang among them. The level of these disciples could be said to be first-class in Zhongzhou.

Apart from some special cases, the gap between the disciples of the first-rate forces in Northwest Continent and the first-rate forces in Central China is more cruel than imagined.

"Well! You guys continue patrolling!"

"My three distinguished guests, please follow me! You have come from afar, so let me show my hospitality as a host."

Tang Zhen smiled at Lin Yuan, then moved and flew towards the depths of the valley. Lin Yuan, Zi Yan and Qing Lin also stepped into the air and followed closely behind him.

Seeing this, Tang Huoer's pupils shrank suddenly - she already knew that Yao Jun was a Dou Zong, but the two girls behind him, one in blue and one in purple, who looked much younger than her, not only had stunning looks, but also had cultivation... They were both Dou Zong powerhouses?
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her doubts about her own talent, spread a pair of flaming red wings, and chased after the group.

Seeing Lin Yuan and the other two walking away in mid-air, the dozen or so disciples of Fenyan Valley at the mountain gate were extremely surprised...

"Those three are actually Dou Zong? Such young Dou Zongs... Is there any justice in this world?"

"Hiss, if that's the case, then wouldn't their cultivation talents be stronger than my Fire Goddess? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"It should be that some seniors have changed their appearance! I heard that some secret elixirs have the effect of changing appearance."

"It should be like this. Judging from the Valley Master's attitude just now, the young man should be of the same generation as him. And considering the Valley Master's age, his peers, hmm..."

"However, Lin Yuan, I have some impression of this name."

"Hmm? Lin Yuan...hiss, could it really be the adult the elder was talking about?"

Lin Yuan did not hear the whispers of the disciples of Fenyan Valley, nor did he care.

After the three of them followed Tang Zhen for a few minutes, they arrived at the central attic in the heart of the valley, and then the latter slowly descended.

"Mr. Yaojun, please look!" Tang Zhen smiled kindly and said gently, "From here, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in the valley..."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan nodded, walked to the attic, and looked around... It was indeed a beautiful view.

The valley was surrounded by lush greenery, with a faint medicinal fragrance coming with the mountain breeze; in the heart of the valley, numerous buildings stood tall, with many disciples of the Fenyan Valley shuttling between them. The occasional shouts of competition made this huge valley exude a majestic vitality.

This nostalgic atmosphere and scene is somewhat similar to that of Canaan Academy, except that the disciples of Burning Flame Valley are more powerful.

However, although the scenery is beautiful, it is not the reason why he came here.

With a slight smile, Lin Yuan turned around and looked at Tang Zhen indifferently. The latter seemed to sense something and also looked over... The atmosphere unconsciously became serious.

After exchanging a glance, Tang Zhen straightened his expression and asked seriously, "Mr. Yaojun, I won't beat around the bush. We have no friendship. Is there anything important you want to discuss by visiting my Burning Flame Valley this time?"

"That's great!" Lin Yuan smiled and confessed directly: "I am here to make a deal with the Valley Master and Fenyan Valley..."
