Chapter 733: Chapter 719: Control the Spiritual Fire, Transform into a Spirit Serpent!_1

Dragon Fall City, once one of the oldest cities on the frontier, was perched atop the vast Desolate Wilds. Every city that has earned the status of an ancient city has survived at least several tens of thousands of years of history, transcending times and generations, and leaving profound influences on the entirety of the Human World.

The Dragon Fall Ancient City has been destroyed for at least ten thousand years. Within that period, tens or even hundreds of generations of human beings have flourished. Such a lengthy span of time is sufficient to obliterate many things. However, the fact that it has been remembered across generations of humans attests to the formidable impact of the ancient city.

It was not until recently when Xiao Chen was browsing through the ancient texts brought by Elder Shi, as well as the old records left by the Dragon Legacy Tribe, did he truly comprehend the profound legacy of a city that has been passed down for a hundred thousand years. The city was once home to a vast number of mighty beings, its fame shaking the Desolate Wilds. Even though it is now in ruins, it is far from being as simple as he initially imagined.

He had gone through all the ancient records, but they only documented the sudden disaster that befell the ancient city and its destruction by a foreign strong one. The specifics of its destruction and the battles it had undergone were largely obscure.

Even the Dragon Legacy Tribe, which once had such a great reputation in the border wasteland and even across the entire Eastern Wasteland South Region, did not remember how exactly this ancient city was destroyed. It seemed as if the city had fallen overnight, marking an epoch. However, the passage of ten-thousand years has veiled too many traces of its past.

"Qingling, since it first appeared, has that strange barrier appeared again?"

Xiao Chen then spoke to Qingling again. After Elder Shi’s prompt, he had searched through all the ancient texts only to find that the city’s destruction was not so simple. It seemed to have a hidden secret passed down, but there were no traces whatsoever. All mentions in the ancient records were extremely vague.

At this moment, he had a premonition that the barrier-like entity discovered thousands of feet beneath the ground by Qingling was definitely closely related to the hidden secrets of the Dragon Fall Ancient City.

"Master, Qingling has already controlled most of the earth veins in this land, and has even started to integrate with the body of the Bronze Ancient City. The spiritual barrier was only sensed by Qingling once, disappearing almost instantly. When Qingling awaited and sensed it again, it had already vanished without a trace. Now, the movements of the earth veins in this area of thousands of miles are all under Qingling’s surveillance, but there has been no change!"

Qingling crisply replied. After the Bronze Ancient City transformed into the mountain city for the Gu Yuan Tribe, the whole region within a thousand miles, including the Tribal Mountain City, was under her surveillance. Now that an uncontrollable secret was present, this barrier must conceal a great secret. That’s why she instantly informed Xiao Chen.

For three consecutive days, Xiao Chen sat on top of the Great Hall at the tip of the Bronze Tower, waiting alongside Qingling for that strange occurrence to reappear. But to no avail, Xiao Chen could only temporarily give up and return to the Great Hall where the tribe resided.

"Master!"

In the courtyard where Xiao Chen resided, two figures respectfully bowed to Xiao Chen. They were Yun Wei and Zi Yuan - among his nine disciples, only these two female disciples had the leisure.

The rest of the seven disciples were all cultivation fanatics. Now, in the War God Temple, they all wielded immense prestige, even ranking in the top ten of the War God Ranking. Even after many challenges from young warriors, their positions hadn’t wavered in the slightest. Instead, they had earned a large amount of points.

Yun Wei had chosen the supreme terrestrial-tier technique, the Sky Python Art. In just two months, she had been able to progress to the Blood Refining Realm Perfection Tier after switching to the supreme terrestrial-tier technique, opening up ten Heavenly Meridians. Moreover, this progressive momentum hasn’t weakened.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen had clearly perceived that the mysterious aura on Yun Wei was slowly amplifying day by day. Though it was nearly undetectable, it was genuinely there - the power of Qi Luck. With the amplification of Qi Luck, plus Xiao Chen providing cultivation resources without sparing any expense, Yun Wei’s cultivation speed could be described as extremely rapid. Xiao Chen even speculated that Yun Wei would be the first among the nine disciples to break through to the Towering Realm.

"Master, with Sister’s help, Yuan’er feels like she’s already got control over the Flame Sprite within her body!"

Zi Yuan, who had jumped into Xiao Chen’s arms, said in a crisp voice. Her tiny hands fluttered excitedly, obviously very happy as she boasted to Xiao Chen.

"You’ve gotten control over it?"

Upon hearing his little disciple’s words, Xiao Chen was slightly surprised. Although because of the Heavenly Flame Art, Zi Yuan no longer suffered from the Purple Lotus Spiritual Fire within her body and had even started to control it.

However, according to Zi Yuan’s current physical condition, Xiao Chen estimated that it would take at least a year for Zi Yuan to gain full control over the Purple Lotus Spiritual Fire within her. And to use it freely would require even more time to cultivate. Unexpectedly, Zi Yuan had informed him this time that she had already gotten control over this spiritual fire. This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Now that she had control over the Purple Lotus Spiritual Fire, Zi Yuan’s suffering due to Medicine Bone could be said to have completely disappeared. She could begin learning alchemy while also cultivating her martial arts, truly following the path of dual cultivation in medicine and martial arts.

Immediately, Xiao Chen turned his gaze toward Yun Wei. Thinking of Yun Wei’s peculiarities, he understood. The power of Qi Luck was indeed profound. At this moment, he wanted to know how Yun Wei had tamed the spiritual fire within Zi Yuan.

"Master!" Noticing Xiao Chen looking at her, Yun Wei smiled sweetly and softly explained, "Your disciple merely utilized the power of Qi Luck to suppress the Medicine Fire inside Little Sister. After that, Little Sister followed your instructions step by step, and thus brought the spiritual fire within her under control."

Upon hearing Yun Wei’s words, Xiao Chen was taken aback. What he, as a master, couldn’t handle seemed to be quite simple for his disciple. But it’s not surprising; the power of Qi Luck is indeed mysterious. Those able to harness Qi Luck can produce unimaginable power.

Even if Xiao Chen couldn’t fully subdue the spiritual fire within Zi Yuan, if he could suppress it, it would become much easier for Zi Yuan to regain control of it.

"Good!" Xiao Chen nodded his satisfaction. Having such a disciple filled him with pride. Thus far, they had only dealt with minor matters. Wait until Yun Wei truly matured, mastered the path of destiny, and learned to manipulate others’ fate. Unbeknownst to the victim, disaster would strike, and that would be truly terrifying.

"Hmm!" Suddenly, Xiao Chen furrowed his brow, a flash of brilliance sparking in his eyes.

"Yun Wei, take Yuan’er with you and go find your master. Now that she has control over the spiritual fire within her, she can make use of the prepared spirit medicine," Xiao Chen told Zi Yuan, who was nestled in his arms. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared, leaving only his voice echoing in the air.

A moment later, Xiao Chen’s figure reappeared at the Great Hall atop the Bronze Tower.

"Master!" Qingling softly called out upon spotting Xiao Chen.

Yun Wei’s words had reminded Xiao Chen of something. As the ruler of the Gu Yuan Tribe, in some ways, Xiao Chen represented the entire tribe. The tribe’s fortunes and the purple Qi had evolved to the highest level of Marquis rank, symbolizing the prosperity of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Moreover, this fortune was closely connected to the entire tribe – even the Earth veins that spanned thousands of miles were nourished by this fate. As the single ruler of the tribe, Xiao Chen could naturally command this tribal fortune for brief periods. Even during Bai Ze Ancestor’s fight when he tore through the void to bring down the Bone Palm, if he had coordinated with the tribal fortune, the overwhelming power of destiny could have bolstered his strength, potentially bridging the gap between sovereign and minor sovereigns.

When a tribal chieftain connects with the tribe’s power in this way, the results are astonishing. His will — the collective spirit of each tribe member— becomes a powerful force. Inspired by Yun Wei, Xiao Chen planned to employ the power and fortune of the tribe to uncover the secrets of the barrier below the Earth’s surface.

"Qingling, I am going to harness the tribe’s power and bestow the tribe’s destiny onto myself, to probe beneath the entire Mountain City. I need you to assist me by controlling the city," Xiao Chen said without any delay.

"Yes, Master!"

Roar!

In an instant, roars echoed in the purple clouds above the tribe as they churned like tidal waves. Meanwhile, the Destiny Spirit Serpent, nearly 999 feet in length, rolled within the sea of purple Qi. Its giant body covered in light purple and gold scales, shone brilliantly.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Suddenly, amidst the churning purple clouds, the enormous Spirit Serpent froze its movements in the void. In an instant, its purple eyes flashed with human-like glimmers.

This exact moment, Xiao Chen had integrated his spiritual will into the enormous Spirit Serpent. He felt as though he were a god, overlooking the entire Earth, the entire tribe. An inexplicable sense of majesty descended upon him from the depths of the void.

Boom!

This majesty emanated from the deep void, establishing a connection with the Destiny Spirit Serpent. It filled Xiao Chen with a sense of dignity and majesty, along with a trace of ancient, boundless aura. This aura gave Xiao Chen an impression that was even more remote than any he had ever encountered before, as if it came from the prehistoric ages, tracing back to the birth of the human race.

The fortune of the human race!

This was the collective will of the human race, born at the beginning of the barren age when the human race was still young, when great evils roamed the earth, and spiritual beings passed into eternal silence!

The supreme majesty made Xiao Chen feel as insignificant as a mayfly. Fortunately, this aura only swept over him briefly. In that short moment, it felt as though Xiao Chen had crossed endless eons.

Roar!

The giant serpent swiftly rolled in the void, and its giant head dove down, piercing through the buildings of the Mountain City below and plunging into the Earth.

Ps, I’m sorry for the slow updates these past few days. There have been some personal issues in my family, with a relative being hospitalized. I also have to manage my day job. It’s been a bit overwhelming.
