I Have A Disciple Simulator - Chapter 1063 - 658: Star Dream Detached Fire! (4K)_2
Xiao Fan was in awe of the Red Emperor’s Great Divine Power.
The magnolia tree was actually the entrance to the underground depths of Divine Flame Mountain.
Cultivating flame True Qi here yielded twice the results with half the effort.
Xiao Fan also understood why the Golden Crow appeared here.
The place where the Golden Crow resided was not the old Daoist temple, but the depths of Divine Flame Mountain.
“Golden Crow Immortal Herb? It’s said to be a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that only appears where the Golden Crow dwells, absorbing a portion of the Golden Crow’s Demonic Qi, causing the herb to transform. How fortuitous!”
Xiao Fan spotted a golden-red Immortal Herb, which happened to be one of the medicinal ingredients required by Suxin Fairy.
Xiao Fan hastily retrieved a jade box and carefully collected the Golden Crow Immortal Herb.
Since the Golden Crow could return at any time, Xiao Fan needed to gather as many of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the depths of Divine Flame Mountain as possible before its return.
Otherwise, if the Divine King Realm Golden Crow returned, it would spell disaster for Xiao Fan.
“Divine Flame Mountain truly lives up to its reputation as the Red Emperor’s Daoist domain. The Red Emperor once set up a Spirit Gathering Array here, amassing endless amounts of nature’s spiritual energy, and attained Dao here to become a Great Emperor. Even after countless years, Divine Flame Mountain remains a Cave Heaven Blessed Land and has become one of the forbidden zones due to the numerous Great Demons inhabiting it.”
Out of respect for the Red Emperor, the major Holy Lands had tacitly preserved Divine Flame Mountain, allowing it to continuously produce Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, with an abundant concentration of treasures hidden underground.
This unexpected fortune had now fallen into the hands of Xiao Fan, who had accidentally stumbled into this place.
“Earth Fire Steel, Magma Serpent Fruit, Extreme Earth Ganoderma… all of these are incredible treasures.”
Xiao Fan tirelessly collected various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from this place, filled with exhilaration.
Among them, he found several of the medicinal ingredients required by Suxin Fairy.
The underground depths of Divine Flame Mountain had been unvisited for ages, and, as the Golden Crow didn’t consume all the treasures at once, many had now ended up in Xiao Fan’s hands.
The underground chamber in Divine Flame Mountain resembled an Underground Palace, with winding, intersecting passages.
Xiao Fan had to rely solely on instinct to guide his exploration.
At the old Daoist temple, hundreds of figures suddenly appeared.
These individuals were dressed in pure white, bearing a symbol of two crossed longswords on their chests, their cultivation levels ranging from Loose Immortal to Immortal Emperor Realm.
“If not for the God Hunting Hound, we wouldn’t have been able to locate this guy.”
Mr. Wan summoned a Daoist Banner, shrouding the temple.
Beside him stood a reddish-brown hunting hound.
The God Hunting Hound, a member of the Demon Race, was no surprise to see being used by the Ancient Wan Clan, given their vast wealth and resources to recruit demon beings.
The God Hunting Hound barked furiously toward the temple, confirming that the mysterious individual from the auction house was within.
Mr. Wan shouted toward the temple, “I know you’re inside. Come out obediently, kneel, admit your mistakes, and hand over the Billion-Year Flamegrass and Flame Dragon Holy Fruit. Perhaps I might spare your life.”
The clansmen accompanying Mr. Wan were all arrogant, looking down on others with disdain.
With hundreds of them surrounding the temple, they were confident the mysterious figure wouldn’t escape their grasp.
However, the temple remained silent, no one answering.
“Search the place.”
Mr. Wan waved his hand, and the Wan Family clan members began to search the temple.
“Young Master, there’s no one in the temple.”
“Impossible! The God Hunting Hound tracks through aura, time, and causality— even Divine King Realm beings can’t escape its pursuit. If not for the Ancestor’s favor, I wouldn’t have been able to borrow it. He must be here. Find him!”
Mr. Wan signaled for the God Hunting Hound to continue tracking.
Although the God Hunting Hound lacked talent in cultivation, its pursuit abilities were unparalleled; even a Divine King couldn’t easily shake it off.
The God Hunting Hound circled the temple three times before stopping beneath the magnolia tree, barking wildly.
“He’s hiding here?”
Mr. Wan reached out to search the magnolia tree.
Suddenly, Mr. Wan vanished.
“Huh?!”
The other Wan clan members were taken aback.
“Could it be there’s more here than meets the eye?”
Mr. Wan’s cousin also reached out to touch the magnolia tree, entering the underground depths of Divine Flame Mountain.
The members of the Wan Family, experienced and knowledgeable, quickly figured out what was happening and followed one after another into the underground.
“It’s unbearably hot in here. Could this have been one of the Red Emperor’s cultivation caves?”
Mr. Wan pieced it together, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
Initially chasing Xiao Fan out of indignation, he hadn’t expected to stumble upon remnants of the Red Emperor’s legacy— an unexpected windfall.
His cousin’s eyes also gleamed with excitement. “Younger cousin, we’re rich now. If we can find some of the treasures left by the Red Emperor, it will be an unimaginable fortune!”
“Indeed, I didn’t expect such a discovery. Quickly, let’s pursue that guy to ensure he doesn’t claim all the treasures before us. Otherwise, we might not be his match.”
Mr. Wan led the Wan Family clan members deeper underground, guided by the God Hunting Hound’s pursuit.
Xiao Fan, intent on saving time, rode his Flying Sword and scoured the Underground Palace at speed.
This was Golden Crow territory, so no other demon beings roamed here, actually saving Xiao Fan considerable effort.
“The temperature is getting higher and higher.”
Xiao Fan circulated his True Qi to protect his body. As he descended another ten thousand feet into the depths, the rising heat caused even his Immortal Emperor-level cultivation to falter, sweat beginning to bead on his forehead.
Even so, the herbs found growing within the magma tempted Xiao Fan further downward, until he decided he would retreat if the heat became unbearable.
The Golden Crow was far too dangerous; Xiao Fan had to leave before its return.
Descending an additional thousand or so feet, Xiao Fan was drenched in sweat, as if having been pulled from a pool of water. Even the Flying Sword beneath his feet showed signs of melting.
“This might be my limit.”
Just as Xiao Fan prepared to turn back, he suddenly caught sight of a multi-colored flame within the magma ahead, continuously absorbing the boiling magma.
The searing magma seemed to be reduced to nothingness.
If not for Divine Flame Mountain’s connection to the Earth Core of the Immortal Realm, with its endless magma, it might have all been devoured by this radiant flame.
With just one glance at the flame, Xiao Fan found himself mesmerized.
The flame shimmered in vibrant colors, dreamlike and ethereal, resembling the Milky Way.
It was the most enchanting Spirit Fire Xiao Fan had ever seen.
“Could this be… Star Dream Detached Fire?!”
Xiao Fan recalled how Suxin the Pill Saint had mentioned before his journey that it was possible to encounter a Twenty Grade Spirit Fire— the Star Dream Detached Fire— in Divine Flame Mountain.
Twenty Grade Spirit Fires were exceedingly rare, and Xiao Fan hadn’t truly expected to find one.
Yet here, in the Red Emperor’s Daoist domain, he had indeed come across such a miraculous flame!
If he could successfully refine it, the Spirit Fire would become his own.
A Twenty Grade Spirit Fire could not only enhance the refinement of higher-grade Immortal Pills but also be a formidable weapon in battle.
Even Divine King Realm powerhouses might find themselves unable to withstand the attack of the Star Dream Detached Fire.
Swallowing hard, Xiao Fan could feel his tension rise.
It was precisely because the Star Dream Detached Fire was incredibly powerful that Xiao Fan wasn’t confident in subduing it.
The Star Dream Detached Fire could burn even Divine King-level cultivators; Xiao Fan, still at the Immortal Emperor Realm, was far from invincible.
Should the flame resist, Xiao Fan could be reduced to ashes.
Countless powerful cultivators had perished, turned to dust, attempting to tame Spirit Fires wandering across the Three Realms.
“Cultivation is inherently defying the heavens— riches are sought in danger. Let me take the risk.”
Xiao Fan knew the odds of encountering the Star Dream Detached Fire were akin to being struck by a falling meteor while walking on a clear day.
If he missed this opportunity, the Star Dream Detached Fire would vanish into the magma, only to reappear in an unknown time and place.
Consuming an elixir pill, Xiao Fan began to furiously deplete his True Qi, forming an invisible barrier around his body to push back the magma.
His War Heaven Tyrant Body also helped him withstand the scorching heat.
Step by step, Xiao Fan advanced toward the dreamlike Star Dream Detached Fire.
With each step forward, the temperature spiked dramatically.
“This Twenty Grade Spirit Fire truly lives up to its reputation. I just hope it doesn’t reject my attempt to refine it or try to escape. Otherwise, with my cultivation level, I’d be helpless.”
Eyes locked on the Star Dream Detached Fire, Xiao Fan couldn’t afford to blink.
Surprisingly, the Star Dream Detached Fire didn’t flee from his approach, giving Xiao Fan a sliver of hope.
Behind Xiao Fan, Mr. Wan and his party continued their pursuit.
However, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along the way had all been collected by Xiao Fan, leaving Mr. Wan’s group empty-handed as they followed his trail.
“There are traces of harvesting. It seems the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the underground depths have all been taken by that guy just ahead.”
Mr. Wan’s eyes glinted with murderous intent.
As long as he killed this mysterious individual, he could avenge the humiliation from the auction and claim all the treasures gathered by his target.
“Hurry up!”
Impatiently, Mr. Wan urged his party to quicken their pace.
