Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 646 Revisiting the Valley of Burning Flames

Three days later, in the southwest of the Central Region, at the Scorching Fire Mountains.

This mountain range, renowned throughout the Central Plains, is a fiery red expanse, entirely composed of blazing volcanoes. From the summits of some peaks, wisps of white smoke constantly rise, and occasionally, lava overflows from them.

The headquarters of Burning Flame Valley, one of the three valleys of Central Plains, is located in this harsh mountain range.

Above the mountains, on the distant horizon, a sea of ​​clouds surged endlessly.

In a fleeting moment, a massive warship sped past amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds, heading straight for the Burning Flame Valley, creating a series of whooshing sounds as it passed, tearing the clouds apart wherever it went.

At the bow deck, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, fulfilling his responsibility as a teacher and explaining his insights into the art of alchemy.

A clear voice, carrying a mysterious charm, echoed in the small space at the bow of the ship.

Below, Dan Chen, Xin Lan, and Cao Ying sat cross-legged on the Earth Core Jade Mother with their eyes closed, each holding a Bodhi seed in their hands. Their thoughts raced as the mysterious sounds entered their ears, integrating the vast amount of alchemy knowledge in their minds.

A moment later, the warship suddenly trembled, the spatial fluctuations around it gradually dissipated, and the ship's speed also slowed down.

Lin Yuan, having finished his lecture, stood up from the lotus platform.

He took a step and walked to the edge of the warship, his gaze falling downwards, piercing through the solid spatial barrier, and landing in the paradise within the volcanic world.

"Burning Flame Valley, it really has been a long time!"

Looking at the somewhat familiar scenery, Lin Yuan smiled slightly and murmured with a touch of melancholy.

The last time I came here was five years ago.

"Such a powerful spatial barrier, it can withstand the attack of a Dou Zun, right? Teacher, is the Burning Flame Valley inside?" Dan Chen walked to Lin Yuan's side, followed his gaze to the mountain range below, her eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement.

Having grown up in the Central Region, she was more curious about the Burning Flame Valley, one of the Three Valleys, than those powerful hidden forces.

As they were talking, Xinlan and Cao Ying opened their eyes, got up, and quickly walked over.

“Let’s go, let’s go there… In the next few days, I will refine another grade nine pill. You can observe the pill refining process and learn from what I have taught you these past few days.”

As Lin Yuan spoke, he took a step forward, transforming into a streak of light that flew out of the dark clouds and headed straight for a winding path below.

After that, Dan Chen and the other two women quickly followed.

At the same time, a gentle voice rang out in an elegant room in the center of the warship.

"Zi Yan, we've arrived at Burning Flame Valley. I'm going down there."

"Okay, I understand!" On the bed reinforced by battle qi, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor swung his smooth jade arm, then lazily turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

She had too much fun last night and needed to rest and recuperate; she had no interest in watching Lin Yuan refine medicine.

Between the two fiery red giant peaks below, four figures landed at the end of the stone steps. Astonishing spatial fluctuations emanated from ahead, clearly indicating that there was another world beyond.

Lin Yuan did not rush in directly, but instead took out a fiery red jade token and infused it with a bit of soul power.

Instantly, a strange fluctuation rippled out from the jade token.

"I am deeply sorry for failing to greet you properly, esteemed guest!"

Just a few blinks later, an eager and cheerful voice rang out from the spatial barrier. At the same time, strange fluctuations spread out from the spatial barrier, causing it to split open and create a spatial passage about ten feet wide.

The next instant, Tang Zhen's tall figure emerged from the passage and strode to Lin Yuan and the other three.

"Mr. Medicine Master, it's so good to see you unharmed!" Tang Zhen bowed respectfully, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy. "When I heard you were being hunted down by Yao Wangui, Huo'er and I were worried sick for a long time, and the Ancestor even cursed Yao Wangui as shameless..."

If Lin Yuan dies at the hands of the Medicine Clan, then treating the Fire Cloud Ancestor will be incredibly troublesome and will require an enormous price.

For a period of time, Tang Zhen truly harbored deep resentment towards the Medicine Clan.

"I'm sorry I escaped unscathed and worried you all!" Lin Yuan returned the greeting with a slight bow and chuckled, "By the way, Valley Master Tang, aren't you going to invite us in?!"

"Yes, yes, look how flustered I get when I'm worried..."

Tang Zhen rubbed his forehead, then quickly spread his hands in an inviting gesture, saying, "Welcome to the Burning Flame Valley, the Ancestor has been waiting for you for a long time... Let's go in!"

He then stepped lightly into the spatial passage first, followed closely by Lin Yuan and the three curious women.

The moment they stepped into the spatial passage, the light in front of them suddenly became bright, causing Dan Chen and the other two women to close their eyes slightly as if out of habit. After a moment, they slowly opened their eyes and saw a long, blue stone staircase surrounded by lush greenery.

Faintly, voices could be heard from afar, swirling within this seemingly endless valley.

"Completely different from the outside world, no wonder it's one of the Three Valleys!"

Seeing this scene, so different from the crimson world outside, Dan Chen blinked her bright eyes and let out a soft exclamation.

"Hehe, you flatter me, Immortal Xuanji!" Tang Zhen waved his hand modestly.

"Burning Flame Valley has become what it is today thanks to the efforts of successive valley masters, but compared to the Pill Tower's self-contained world of Pill Realm, it is nothing more than a secluded paradise."

Even when facing Dan Chen, who was younger and of a higher seniority, the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley showed no sign of disrespect.

"Xuanji Danxian" is Dan Chen's title.

As the results of the Alchemy Conference spread far and wide, Dan Chen, the disciple of the Medicine Lord, received great attention from all sides... The eighteen-year-old Rank 8 Seven-Color Alchemist seemed poised to inherit the title of "Number One Prodigy of Central Continent".

The title "Xuanji Danxian" was personally bestowed upon her by Lin Yuan.

As they were talking, a fiery red light streaked across the sky, shooting down from the distant main hall and landing lightly beside Lin Yuan.

As the flames dissipated, Tang Huo'er's heroic figure appeared in Lin Yuan's sight.

Noticing the aura emanating from the girl, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly—Tang Huo'er's aura was somewhat unstable, but there was no doubt that it was the aura of a Dou Zun.

More importantly, Tang Huo'er no longer had the aura of the strange fire.

He composed himself, smiled gently, and said, "Miss Huo'er, congratulations on successfully advancing to Dou Zun... and beginning your journey towards Dou Sheng!"

"Lin Yuan, it's so good that you're alright!" Tang Huo'er looked Lin Yuan up and down for a moment, then smiled brightly. "Welcome to Burning Flame Valley. The Ancestor sent word that he wants me to take you directly to the 'Burning Realm.' The Nine Dragons Thunderfire is ready."

After saying that, she exchanged a glance with Tang Zhen, then immediately took to the air, leading everyone towards the library where the passage was located...
