Chapter 725 Flame City

The next day, every corner of Wutang City was abuzz with talk about the Alchemist Guild!

Pill King Lei Nuo, the number one Pill Master, had been crushed by a mysterious youth. His Holy Pill Furnace was taken, his Fallen Thunder Fire was forcefully seized, and he had been utterly defeated!

From then on, the Alchemist Guild existed in name only.

Outside the gates of Wutang City.

Countless people had gathered, all to see one person off: the mysterious youth who had triumphed over the Alchemist Guild, Ye Wushuang!

Having refined an elixir that produced the legendary Pill Pattern Phenomenon, Ye Wushuang was the undisputed number one, earning their reverence and respect!

To come and behold his divine bearing was an honor for every citizen of Wutang City.

Even everyone from the Wu Family was present.

Now that he had obtained the Celestial Essence Emperor Heart Grass, only the Nine Spirits Sacred Fruit remained. A place like Wutang City wouldn’t have it; it could likely only be found in Flame City, the largest city in the Profound Sun Domain.

Therefore, Ye Wushuang planned to head to Flame City. After finding the Nine Spirits Sacred Fruit, he would refine the Nine Spirit Heavenly Pill to repair his Origin, and then journey to the Azure Celestial Domain.

He had come from there, so he had to go back and get to the bottom of everything.

"The Exotic Fire in your body is under control. As long as you learn to utilize it, you will become an incredible Pill Master."

Ye Wushuang said to Wu Qianqian.

Wu Qianqian’s heart sank. ’Ye Wushuang is leaving after all. I’m just a passerby in his life!’

Wu Lanlan also stared at Ye Wushuang without a word, her heart filled with extreme regret. ’If I were my sister, I would follow him without a moment’s hesitation!’

But unfortunately, she didn’t have that chance. She had previously looked down on Ye Wushuang, little realizing that from beginning to end, she had just been full of herself.

"Young Master Ye’s Alchemy Dao is extraordinary. Only a place like Flame City is a worthy stage for you. I believe this journey will surely make your name shake the Profound Sun Domain."

Yueh Rui said with a smile. From the bottom of his heart, he worshiped and admired Ye Wushuang.

Ye Wushuang gave a faint smile. ’This trip is just to get the Nine Spirits Sacred Fruit. I haven’t thought about anything else!’

"Here, take this. It might be of some help to you."

Ye Wushuang took out a Jade Bottle and tossed it to Yueh Rui.

Puzzled, Yueh Rui caught it and took a look. His heart suddenly leaped, and he was filled with ecstasy!

What Ye Wushuang had given him was an elixir that produced a Pill Pattern Phenomenon! For a Pill Master, what a precious gift this was!

"Thank you, Young Master Ye! I... I have no way to repay you..."

Yueh Rui became incoherent, making many onlookers burn with envy. By studying this Pill Pattern Phenomenon, one’s attainments in the Alchemy Dao would surely improve!

"Patriarch Wu, thank you for seeing me off. Farewell!"

Ye Wushuang then turned to Wu Rongyuan and clasped his fist.

"Young Master Ye, you’re too kind. I believe Wutang City will be honored by your visit."

Wu Rongyuan said with a smile, and the others couldn’t disagree.

Ye Wushuang smiled faintly, unaware that he would one day become a legend in the hearts of countless youths in Wutang City.

With that, he turned and left the city gate. The Dragon Cat zipped onto his shoulder with a SWOOSH.

"Wait!"

Seeing Ye Wushuang about to leave, Wu Lanlan shouted, drawing everyone’s attention.

Ye Wushuang turned his head as well, staring at Wu Lanlan. "Is something the matter?"

Ye Wushuang looked at Wu Lanlan as if she were a stranger, making her heart tremble. Any lingering fantasies she held vanished in an instant.

"No, it’s... it’s nothing..." she stammered, shaking her head repeatedly. ’I missed my chance. It’s all irreversible now!’

Seeing this, Ye Wushuang turned and left without any expression. Gao Yang followed him. ’I must stay by Young Master Ye’s side and learn from him!’

Watching his receding figure, Wu Qianqian’s pretty face was a mask of conflict. She desperately wanted to shout for Ye Wushuang to stay, but she knew it was impossible.

This place was just one stop on Ye Wushuang’s brilliant journey.

"Daughter, if you want to go, then go. If you don’t seize this chance yourself, then nothing will ever be yours." Seeing Wu Qianqian’s dejected expression, Wu Rongyuan said with a sigh. One daughter had already lost her chance; he didn’t want his other daughter to lose hers as well.

Hearing this, Wu Qianqian glanced at her father, Wu Rongyuan. He gave a slight nod, and Wu Qianqian immediately broke into a run to catch up.

Wu Lanlan’s eyes held only envy and endless regret.

"Brother Ye, I know the way to Flame City! If I lead, we can definitely shorten the journey," Wu Qianqian said as she caught up.

"Hey, girlie! Lord Cat welcomes you as our guide. And while you’re guiding us, you can also take good care of Lord Cat." Seeing Wu Qianqian catch up, the Dragon Cat said with a crafty glint in its eyes. But before it could make a move, a palm slapped it away.

BANG!

A white figure was sent flying into the sky!

"You damn brat! Lord Cat isn’t finished with you! Not finished!" Its heart-rending cries echoed from the sky, making everyone on the ground chuckle in spite of themselves.

After leaving Wutang City, with Wu Qianqian leading the way, it took half a month for the three people and one cat to finally arrive at Flame City!

A rich medicinal aroma wafted over them, detectable from miles away. There was also a scorching sensation, as if they had arrived in a city of flames.

Standing outside the city, one could see a colossal furnace propping up the heavens. It stood about ten thousand feet tall, with crimson-purple flames that blazed a hundred thousand feet high, burning a hole in the firmament that refused to heal. The sight was absolutely breathtaking.

As the largest city in the Profound Sun Domain, Flame City was an absolute behemoth.

"What a massive Pill Furnace!"

Gao Yang’s eyes went wide.

"This is the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace. It’s a sacred artifact of the Profound Sun Domain!" Wu Qianqian explained.

"A sacred artifact?" Gao Yang turned his head.

"The Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace was a gift from Emperor Xuan Yang to all living beings in the Profound Sun Domain. These flames are all Holy Fires, taken from the Celestial Saint Abyss where Emperor Xuan Yang resides. They are imbued with his infinite Flame Path."

"In the Profound Sun Domain, every cultivator who is about to become a Saint must make a pilgrimage here to receive a Great Dao Seal from the Flame Path and condense their Dao Fruit."

Wu Qianqian gazed at the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace with a look of longing.

’Emperor Xuan Yang!’

Ye Wushuang frowned. He knew that Emperor Xuan Yang was the "Heaven" of the Profound Sun Domain, but he didn’t understand why this "Heaven" would take the initiative to bless all living beings. It was truly strange.

"Let’s go inside."

After a moment of thought, Ye Wushuang strode inside.

RUMBLE!

At that moment, the mountain-like Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace trembled. The world-burning crimson-purple flames surged violently, dyeing the firmament red!

Endless Dao Marks flowed within, carrying the evolution of the Great Dao itself!

Countless people watched in confusion.

Immediately after, a tear appeared in the burning space, and a gigantic eye of flame emerged from it, looking down with cold indifference.

To be precise, it was staring at Ye Wushuang!

This was the Eye of the Firmament of the Profound Sun Domain. World-destroying flames gushed from it, capable of incinerating even a Saint!

’Don’t tell me it’s after me.’

Ye Wushuang’s expression grew heavy.

"Bloody hell! Judging by the power of this Eye of the Firmament, this Emperor Xuan Yang must be a Great Saint Level expert. It looks like he’s locked on to you, ready to take you out."

The Dragon Cat hopped onto Ye Wushuang’s shoulder, cocked its head, and chuckled. "So, kid, you wanna take out this ’Heaven’ too?"
