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

Chapter 72 Imminent Delivery

Without its leader, Burning Flame Valley is like a giant ship without its backbone, teetering on the brink of capsizing in a turbulent sea.

The disappearance of the Fire Cloud Ancestor only exacerbated the chaos, as he was a legend of the Burning Flame Valley and a pillar of strength for countless elders and disciples.

Such a major event was beyond the control of the elders of Burning Flame Valley, and the news spread rapidly across the Central Plains like wildfire.

The once peaceful Central Plains was thrown into turmoil by this incident.

"The sect leader of Burning Flame Valley and the Fire Cloud Ancestor have both disappeared at the same time?"

In the bustling teahouse, a piece of news was like a stone thrown into water, creating ripples. Whispers rose and fell among the people, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity.

"Who is the Fire Cloud Ancestor?" someone asked curiously.

"You don't even know this?" A middle-aged man next to him widened his eyes, as if the other party had asked an extremely simple question, making him seem like he knew a lot.

"Brother, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

Once his vanity was satisfied, the middle-aged man began to talk at length.

"You don't know, but this Old Ancestor Huoyun is a legendary figure in Burning Flame Valley. His strength is even greater than that of the sect leader. I heard that he has reached the Dou Sheng level. He is the Supreme Ancestor of Burning Flame Valley and the strongest person in Burning Flame Valley."

Although the Fire Cloud Ancestor has not appeared for a long time, some forces in the Central Plains are aware of his existence.

Clearly, the middle-aged man happened to know this.

"Hiss, a Battle Saint?"

The onlookers gasped in shock, clearly stunned by the information.

The Battle Saint is a legendary realm, enough to stir up a storm in the martial arts world.

"How is this possible? Who could make a Dou Sheng powerhouse disappear?" another guest exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, is this news true or false? Or is it just a rumor?" Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the news.

"It can't be a rumor. I heard that the Burning Flame Valley is in complete chaos, with everyone panicking. Even the disciples are starting to wonder if they've been attacked by a powerful enemy." The middle-aged man felt uneasy seeing that they doubted him.

"Which force did this?" Some people began to speculate about the mastermind behind it.

"Besides the Soul Palace and the Pill Tower, which other force can do that?" a burly man blurted out after hearing this.

"Brother, be careful what you say!" The person next to him immediately reminded him, after all, this topic involved powerful forces in the martial arts world, and if it got out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

The atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly became tense. Although people were discussing the matter, no one dared to delve deeper into the topic. The simultaneous disappearance of the Burning Flame Valley's sect leader and the Fire Cloud Ancestor—what secrets and conspiracies lay behind this?

Such discussions could be heard in every corner of Zhongzhou.

People speculated about the reasons and motives behind this. Some said it was a trap set by enemies, while others said it was for the Nine Dragons Thunderfire of Burning Flame Valley.

But no matter which version of events is used, it cannot obscure the enormous impact this incident had on Burning Flame Valley.

The disciples of Burning Flame Valley were filled with anxiety, unsure of what fate awaited them.

Some disciples began to secretly contact other forces, seeking protection.

Some disciples chose to leave Burning Flame Valley and seek other paths.

After all, when Tang Zhen and Old Ancestor Huoyun were still around, some hostile forces didn't dare to make a move, but now that they've disappeared, those forces certainly won't miss this opportunity.

The entire Burning Flame Valley seemed to have become a lonely island battered by storms, which could be swallowed up by giant waves at any moment.

The disappearance of a Dou Sheng powerhouse has caused widespread panic among some forces in Zhongzhou, who fear that such a thing might happen to them.

The forces in Zhongzhou reacted differently; some chose to secretly strengthen their defenses, while others began to gather information from all sides.

However, within the Dou Di family, this matter did not seem to cause much of a stir.

The Dou Di family boasts a long history and formidable strength, with numerous Dou Sheng experts emerging from its ranks.

Therefore, they did not take the Burning Flame Valley, a first-class force with a one-star Dou Sheng in charge, seriously.

Or rather, those who possess the bloodline of the Dou Di are arrogant.

They look down on those who don't have the bloodline of Dou Di, even if they break through to Dou Sheng and are stronger than most of them.

As for the Nine Dragons Thunderfire, a unique flame inherited from the Burning Flame Valley, several races have considered seizing and refining it, especially the Flame Clan and the Medicine Clan.

However, they also knew that this strange fire had been marked by the Burning Flame Ancestor, and even if they snatched it, it would probably be difficult to erase.

Otherwise, how could Huo Yun, a mere one-star Dou Sheng, possibly defend against the Nine Dragons Thunderfire?

As for Jiang Xing, the instigator of this matter, he was completely indifferent to the changing world and only cared about two things: cultivation and being with Cai Lin.

Cai Lin is now pregnant, and Jiang Xing stays by her side every step of the way.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Xing's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds during this time. He not only successfully compressed his battle qi, but also smoothly reached the second-stage Dou Zun realm.

It is truly astonishing that Jiang Xing has achieved such a tremendous breakthrough in just two years.

This was undoubtedly a happy occasion for the Jiang family, especially for Jiang Cheng, the grandfather, who felt immensely gratified and proud.

Besides cultivating his battle qi, Jiang Xing also used this time to refine puppets.

Jiang Xing's talent and hard work in this area have enabled him to achieve considerable success in puppetry.

Two months ago, he finally succeeded in refining the body of the Fire Cloud Ancestor into a puppet.

Although this puppet cannot use combat techniques and has no intelligence, its strength should not be underestimated.

The Fire Cloud Ancestor was a one-star Dou Sheng in his lifetime, and even though his puppet was weakened, its combat power was still enough to rival that of a high-level half-saint.

This achievement greatly boosted Jiang Xing's confidence. He believed that he would soon be able to use the bodies of the three dragon kings to create even more powerful puppets.

Jiang Xing was filled with anticipation that a body at the level of a one-star Dou Sheng could be used to create a puppet with the strength of a high-level half-saint.

I'm looking forward to seeing just how powerful the puppets made from the bodies of the three Dragon Kings will be.

One-star Dou Sheng? Two-star Dou Sheng?

Moreover, this puppet can absorb the power of lightning to strengthen itself.

Therefore, after the three puppets were made, Jiang Xing planned to throw them into the Void Thunder Pool of Ancient Dragon Island.

When we bring it out, our strength will definitely be even greater.

Cai Lin had been pregnant for three years, and her belly was now very prominent.

Her temperament also became increasingly gentle and delicate.

The former brilliance that once belonged to Queen Medusa has long since faded away, as if dissolved by the dew in the morning light.
