Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 4 The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame is Obtained

As for helping Hai Bodong restore his fighting spirit? Sorry, Jiang Xing said he was there to steal things, not to exchange them.

Seeing the two of them walking on air, Hai Bodong was both shocked and even more grateful for his cleverness.

Two Dou Zong, even the entire Jia Ma Empire would find no match for them.

How could someone like him, who only possesses the power of fighting spirits, possibly offend him? Even before he was sealed away, he was probably just an ant in the eyes of others.

The Strange Fire wasn't far from Graphite City. Ji Feng and I arrived in the eastern part of Graphite City and, using Hai Bodong's map, searched around and found the location of the Strange Fire.

Jiang Xing blasted a pile of yellow sand directly in front of him, and the sand pile sank in, revealing a hole.

The cave entrance is more than two meters wide, and it is pitch black inside, but you can feel a faint warmth rising from it.

This hole was clearly dug by man. Could it be that we arrived too late and Medusa took the strange fire?

Yellow flames rose from his hands, and he used his fighting spirit to control them, attaching them to the cave walls and brightening the originally dark passage.

As he ventured deeper into the cave, Jiang Xing felt the intense heat surrounding him grow stronger and stronger.

The two did not linger and soon reached the end.

What came into view was a vast expanse of lava, steaming hot.

Jiang Xing's strength is already at the Dou Zong level, and he also has fire attributes, so naturally he won't be harmed by this magma.

Needless to say, Ji Feng, a five-star Dou Zun, can soak in lava as easily as taking a bath.

The two entered the magma. Jiang Xing sensed it and headed towards the direction with the highest concentration of fire elemental energy.

As Jiang Xing approached the bottom of the magma, he also sensed the two-headed fire spirit snake.

He was a little puzzled as to why the two-headed fire spirit snake didn't attack him like it did in the original story.

If the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Serpent could hear Jiang Xing's thoughts and speak, it would surely have replied: "In the original story, it attacked Xiao Yan because his strength was weak. Now you're a Dou Zong and a Dou Zun! That's right, I have many heads, but I'm not headless! Forget attacking you, if I even show the slightest sign of aggression, I'm afraid even nine heads wouldn't be enough for you to chop off..."

Since the two-headed fire spirit snake wasn't attacking him, Jiang Xing had no interest in playing with this little Karami.

Upon reaching the bottom of the magma, Jiang Xing sensed that the fire element had become even more intense and violent.

A quick glance around revealed a lotus platform in the distance.

A ball of blue flame was burning on the lotus platform, and the violent fire attribute energy was emanating from this flame.

The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame ranks nineteenth among the strange flames, and in the original novel, it was the first strange flame that Xiao Yan subdued.

Beside the lotus platform was a charred snake scale. Judging from its color and aura, it was clearly not from the two-headed fire spirit snake; it could only be from Queen Medusa.

Looking at the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Jiang Xing was somewhat puzzled.

Queen Medusa has already come all this way, why isn't she taking the perfectly good Strange Fire with her?

Jiang Xing, unable to figure it out, stopped thinking about it. He wasn't a stubborn person, and it wasn't right to keep wasting his time.

Jiang Xing used a jade dagger to cut off the lotus stem and put it into a specially made container.

Although the fire lotus seeds and lotus platform are useless to Jiang Xing now, they were of great help to Xiao Yan in the early stages.

Therefore, Jiang Xing definitely couldn't leave them for Xiao Yan, so he put them all into his storage ring.

Now that we've got the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, let's go see Medusa.

As he left the magma, Jiang Xing sensed the two-headed fire spirit snake, which reminded him of Qing Lin, who possessed the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.

The Azure Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil can be considered the nemesis of all serpentine magical beasts. It can forcibly control all serpentine magical beasts except for a very few that possess pure ancient bloodlines.

Once the Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil matures, its eyes can form their own space, where controlled entities can be stored and the power of living beings can be slowly absorbed.

It can be said that as long as she has enough snake-like magical beasts to control, breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm is only a matter of time.

In the original novel, Qing Lin's strength increased from below the Dou Zhe level to the initial Dou Zun level in less than ten years. After refining the Nine-Headed Heavenly Serpent Soul, he broke through to the Six-Star Dou Zun level. In the two years after the emergence of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, Qing Lin's cultivation broke through to the One-Star Dou Sheng level.

Jiang Xing believed that if she were given more and stronger snake-type magical beasts to capture, her strength could improve even faster.

Jiang Xing couldn't let such an extraordinary talent slip by.

Originally intending to go directly to the Serpent People, they immediately changed their minds and flew towards Graphite City.

Upon arriving in Graphite City, I inquired about the location of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group from passersby.

Jiang Xing and Ji Feng walked in the direction pointed out by the passerby, and soon arrived at the headquarters of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group.

This is a sizable courtyard. Above the courtyard, a flag flutters in the wind, bearing the words "Mo Tie Mercenary Group" in large characters.

Outside the compound, several burly men stood guard, weapons in hand.

Upon seeing Jiang Xing and Ji Feng standing at the entrance of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, a burly man shouted.

"This is the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach."

Jiang Xing didn't want to play the "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" game with these guards, so he controlled his fighting spirit and pressed it directly against them.

The burly men felt an overwhelming pressure acting on them.

The burly men were terrified. Such strength was at least at the Dou Ling level. They wanted to beg for mercy, but the pressure made it impossible for them to move an inch.

So Jiang Xing walked into the courtyard, watched by these burly men.

It wasn't until Jiang Xing arrived inside the courtyard that the pressure on the men completely subsided.

The burly men dared not delay and hurriedly went to inform the regimental commander.

Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Xing spread his soul power outwards, enveloping the entire courtyard.

Before long, Jiang Xing arrived at the side courtyard, where he saw a petite little girl dressed in a light green, elegant outfit. She was sitting on a small stool washing clothes.

If you look closely at her exposed wrist, there is a patch of blue snake scales growing abruptly on her fair skin.

Just then, the little girl's rolled-up sleeves drooped down. She stood up and rolled them up again, and saw two strangers standing in front of her.

Moreover, the two strangers were staring at her arms, so Qinglin immediately panicked and put down the sleeves she had just rolled up.

Even though her sleeves had already covered the blue snake scales, the little girl still tried her best to pull her sleeves down, her small body trembling constantly.

"I was just doing laundry, that's why I rolled up my sleeves. I'm... I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to scare you."

A timid voice came from the little girl's mouth, and Jiang Xing could even hear a hint of crying in it.

Looking at Qinglin's timid appearance, like a frightened little rabbit, Jiang Xing couldn't help but feel a little pity for her.

Qinglin was born from a relationship between Qinglin's mother and a snake-man, and both humans and snake-men consider it a curse.

She has grown up amidst people's disdain and ridicule since birth, which is why she is so insecure.

Jiang Xing slowly approached Qing Lin's side and asked softly.

"Your name is Qinglin?"

Hearing this person call her name, Qinglin timidly raised her head and saw Jiang Xing's face.

This face has a pair of deep brown eyes that exude a gentle quality, and a friendly smile adorns his handsome face.

She felt no disgust or aversion from this person, but rather an unprecedented warmth.
