“If the Li family and the continent-level masters colluded, it would explain why the matter of Demon Flame Mountain was kept secret for so long.” Yi Yong came to this conclusion and clenched his fists furiously.

The Yi family had contributed greatly during the pioneering period of the Primitive World, so ever since Fan City was built, the Yi family had been the family that took up the role of City Lord and enjoyed the best resources in the city.

However, Fan City was remote and had few resources. The various families rarely obtained beasts of the Divine Beast Level, so it was very difficult for everyone’s combat power to be improved. Even the Yi family only produced one man with a combat strength of the Ten-Million Level in the past hundred

years.

As for Yi Yong himself, he was merely at the Million Level.

In the eyes of the continent-level masters, anyone and any family was practically a speck of dust. The title of City Lord was nothing to them.

Therefore, if there were continent-level masters who found clues about Demon Flame Mountain, they would specially look for the Li family who was guarding Demon Flame Mountain and collude with them to deceive the City Lord before secretly exploring Demon Flame Mountain. This was also very

reasonable.

Then, Yi Yong was almost certain that the group of people hired by the Li family to guard Demon Flame Mountain for nearly two hundred years were the continent-level masters and their men that colluded with the Li family.

“But this group of people disappeared twenty years ago…” Yi Yong muttered to himself, “It seems like I have to investigate the background of this group of people. The robbery of the Li Residence’s underground palace this time and the incident of Demon Flame Mountain might have something to do with

this family.”

With that thought in mind, he immediately called the guards in and asked them to investigate it.

At that moment, Ye Chen obviously didn’t know that he had been inexplicably given the identity of a continent-level master’s descendant. He was crouching in the Ice Fire Armor created by Little Purple and wasn’t moving at all, cursing the entire family of that unknown continent-level master in his

heart.

Ye Chen originally thought that cultivating the Art of Zhurong was relatively simple, but reality proved that he was wrong.

On the first step of reading the cultivation art, he had already encountered a huge problem.

After placing the golden feather on his forehead, a noise that sounded like bubbling water filled Ye Chen’s ears, causing him to be distracted and unable to read the cultivation art calmly. For a moment, his Spiritual Energy lost control and ran amok in his meridians.

If not for the Immortal Phoenix protecting him and helping him clear his mind by his side, Ye Chen really couldn’t be sure what would have happened.

“Master, the sound you heard is actually lava.” Upon hearing Ye Chen’s description, the Immortal Phoenix said, “Lava is Senior Zhurong’s flow of Spiritual Energy. You have to synchronize your Spiritual Energy with Senior Zhurong’s before you can read the cultivation art.”

“Tell me earlier about such an important matter next time!” Ye Chen complained.

“When I was cultivating in the lava, I quickly understood this important point, so I thought that Master could understand it too.” The Immortal Phoenix answered innocently, making Ye Chen speechless.

However, after understanding this trick, Ye Chen felt much more relaxed reading the cultivation art in the golden feather.

After synchronizing the Spiritual Energy with the sounds in the golden feather, Ye Chen clearly felt the changes in his body. Just like when he incubated Zhurong, even his blood seemed to be heating up.

But at the same time, the Fire Spiritual Energy in his meridians also became active, causing him to not have the feeling of being burnt by his own blood.

However, this was only enough to prevent Ye Chen from being disturbed by the noise of the Spiritual Energy in the golden feather. After Ye Chen got used to it for a while, he still felt that he couldn’t smoothly read the cultivation art in the golden feather. Under such circumstances, he couldn’t enter a

cultivation state.

“Sun God Envoy, why can’t I read the content of the cultivation art?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask.

“This is probably because you don’t have much Fire Spiritual Energy in your body, right?” The Immortal Phoenix guessed. “Look, you inherited water-type Divine Powers from Idiot and Five. Therefore, your Spiritual Energy isn’t pure. It is indeed difficult to read Senior Zhurong’s cultivation art.”

“But Zhurong isn’t a fire-type mutated beast!” Ye Chen refuted.

“although Senior Zhurong’s Fire Spiritual Energy isn’t pure, it can transform other types of Spiritual Energy to work with the Fire Spiritual Energy. Therefore, Senior Zhurong’s Fire Spiritual Energy is extremely powerful.” The Immortal Phoenix explained as it suddenly had an idea.

“Master, didn’t you inherit the Fire Melting Art from Senior Zhurong? Do you want to use it to convert Spiritual Energy? Perhaps you can advance faster!” It suggested.

Ye Chen looked around.

Since he was cultivating the Art of Zhurong, he left the ice array where the Feather Dragons resided. Instead, he brought the Immortal Phoenix and Little Purple to the fire array on the other side. One of them was a fire-type Divine Beast, while the other knew how to use the Ice Fire Armor. The two Divine

Beasts could work together to prevent any accidents.

Now that Ye Chen was surrounded by Fire Spiritual Energy, he didn’t need the Fire Melting Art to help him convert Spiritual Energy. Besides, he had already activated the Yin Yang Taichi Fish in his body to absorb the Spiritual Energy. However, it wasn’t very helpful in reading the cultivation art.

“Tdon’t think this will help much.” Ye Chen shook his head. “Forget it. You should continue staying here while I cultivate. As soon as I strengthen my fire-type constitution, there should be no problem.”

After all, he had only obtained the fire-type constitution for a day or so. To be able to avoid being disturbed by the flow of Spiritual Energy within the golden feather should be considered a quite a huge improvement.

“But, Master, look. There’s a fragment of Senior Zhurong’s Spirit Pool here, right?” said the Immortal Phoenix. “Back then, I was able to quickly understand the Art of Zhurong because I absorbed its Spiritual Energy in the mutated beast egg. Master, you can do the same.”

“That’s true.” Ye Chen thought about it and agreed.

The Immortal Phoenix had learned the Art of Zhurong from Zhurong’s mutated beast egg that had yet to hatch. All the lava in it could be considered a part of Zhurong’s body, and the Spiritual Energy contained inside could indeed be beneficial to its cultivation.

Ye Chen looked at the secret chamber in the fire array. It was the place where the fragment of Zhurong’s Spirit Pool was stored.

Opening the door that was filled with red Spirit Stones, a red object with an irregular shape appeared at the end of the chamber.

“Tl try refining Zhurong’s Spiritual Energy here into mine. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Ye Chen sat down cross-legged. While activating the Yin Yang Taichi Fish, he also performed the Fire Melting Art.

In the end, something strange happened.

The moment the Fire Melting Art was activated, a system notification suddenly appeared.

[Reminder: The array’s trap is about to be activated. Get out of the chamber of the array quickly and prepare for defense.]

“Little Purple, activate the Ice Fire Armor!” Ye Chen quickly shouted and left the secret chamber swiftly.

At the instant the Ice Fire Armor enveloped him, flames spewed out from Zhurong’s relic at the end of the chamber!
