In the bamboo forest, Gu Shentan once again warned them about Burning Fire Cemetery and then sent Ye Hao and the rest to the outer area.
Seeing Qing Wu's reluctant look, Gu Shentan couldn't help but shake his head. "It's not like I'm sending off my lover, they're all in this academy. I can see them whenever I want to."
Hearing this, Qing Wu's face turned red. Despite Ye Hao's thick skin, he could not help but shake his head, causing the people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky to smile.
"Daddy!"
Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice came from above. Immediately following that, a small figure with fiery red hair rushed down like a ray of light and crashed into Ye Hao's chest.
Dong!
A muffled sound rang out.
Gu Shentan shook his head with a smile. The crowd on the Proclamation of Azure Sky and Qing Wu were petrified. As for Ye Hao, the violent impact on his chest made his face twitch and he almost gasped for breath.
"Spirit..." Ling Er, can we change the way we meet in the future? "
In Ye Hao's arms, there was a cute little girl in a red shirt, like a porcelain doll. She was wrapped around his neck like a koala and mist rose from her black gem-like eyes. She choked with sobs, "Wuu, wuu, Daddy doesn't want Ling Er anymore, right?"
"How could that be? Daddy just went out to take care of some matters. He's back now, isn't he?"
Looking at Nannan's jade-like arms, Ye Hao comforted her for a long time. Finally, he calmed her down and smiled through his tears.
"It's a deal. Don't you dare hit your father again!" Ye Hao rubbed his chest that was a little stuffy and bitterly said, "You little brain, don't you know what it's made of?"
Every time Nannan saw him, she would charge towards him like a cannonball. Even with Ye Hao's Cultivation of Extreme Stage, his physique was far beyond what an ordinary person would be able to bear.
"Ye Hao, I really can't tell!" Your daughter is already this old? "
At this moment, everyone on the side finally regained their wits. Di Qing's eyes were staring straight at them as he shouted with an exaggerated expression.
Qing Wu's beautiful eyes were wide open, and her face looked dazed. It was unknown what Bai Qingyou was thinking about. She bit her lips, and her expression flickered between dark and bright. For some reason, even Wu Feiyan's gaze had turned resentful.
Ye Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, concealing the matter of the Holy Spirit Clan space, saying only that he had adopted Nannan by chance.
After the explanation, the crowd suddenly came to a realization. They looked at the cute and adorable porcelain doll in Nannan's arms, and even Bai Qingyou's usually cold and indifferent face revealed a gentle smile.
Nannan was extremely well-behaved as she greeted everyone sweetly. When she looked at Gu Shentan, she suddenly made a naughty face.
Gu Shentan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he shook his head. Suddenly, he noticed the traces of fruit crumbs on the corner of Nannan's mouth. His eyes widened. "Girl, have you gone to harm my Treasure Trees again?"
Nannan's face stiffened. She immediately realized something, and her pinkish little tongue licked the fruit crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
Gu Shentan was so angry that his teeth were trembling. He wanted to cry but had no tears to shed as he said, "You little disaster, I have already put 18 seals in there, how can you still go in?"
"No, I have to add a few more layers. Otherwise, those precious trees will all be ruined by you!"
Gu Shentan jumped up from the ground in anger and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Slightly, Grandpa Gu is too stingy."
Nannan made a face in the direction Gu Shentan left, making Ye Hao speechless. In the entire Tianxuan Academy, the only person the ancestor could not bear to part with and yet was helpless against was Nannan.
In the end, Ye Hao handed Nannan over to Qing Wu, leaving her here to accompany him while he and the rest of the people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky left this place for seclusion.
As soon as they walked out of the bamboo forest, Han Yitian, Qin Chixiao, and Bai Ningxue approached them as if they had been waiting for a while.
Looking at her younger sister's gaze on the young man, Bai Qingyou sighed with mixed feelings. However, she didn't reprimand her for leaving this time.
"Ye Hao, are you really going to challenge that Soong Jun?" Han Yitian's face was still pale. Clearly, his injuries from the battle with Lv Hong were not light.
"You weren't in the academy during this period of time, so you weren't aware of Soong Jun's terror. You were too rash." Bai Ningxue didn't care about Bai Qingyou's presence at this moment as she spoke with a worried expression.
"It's said that Soong Jun's luck was monstrous when he was young, and after consuming a Phoenix Blood Herba, his physique was not much weaker than those special physiques. You must be careful." Qin Chixiao didn't advise Ye Hao to give up as he understood the youth's character and could only tell him all the information related to Soong Jun.
"Phoenix Blood Herba?"
Ye Hao raised his eyebrows. The Phoenix Blood Herba was said to be an incomparably rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that had the blood of the True Phoenix dripping down to the Profound Opening Realm. If a cultivator consumed and refined it, they would definitely be able to obtain an unimaginable benefit.
After all, a being like the True Phoenix was too terrifying.
Living beings like the True Dragon and the True Phoenix, other than appearing in ancient times, had long disappeared. From this, it could be seen that Soong Jun's luck was truly monstrous for him to obtain the Phoenix Blood Herba.
"No wonder that guy dared to challenge Sixth-Crown King. It turns out he had consumed Phoenix Blood Herba before."
Qi Yu nodded his head. If Soong Jun had consumed Phoenix Blood Herba, then Physical Strength would indeed be comparable to some special physiques. No wonder Soong Jun's strength was comparable to Son-of-Saint Level Expert's.
Of course, after feeling astonished for a while, they did not seem worried at all. No matter how mysterious the Phoenix Blood Herba was, could it compare to the Red Lotus Divine Body that appeared once every tens of thousands of years?
"Don't worry, what bullsh * t Soong Jun. Just asking for trouble."
Liu Tie patted Han Yitian's shoulder with a weird smile, then said goodbye to Ye Hao and left first.
After which, the remaining members of the Proclamation of Azure Sky also bid their farewells and left.
Though this trip to the Burning Fire Cemetery was difficult, they had all benefited greatly from it. Not only had they obtained their respective suitable Natural Fire s, their strength had also improved greatly.
Especially Lei Tingzi and Bai Qingyou, as of now, both of them had broken through to the Dao Soul Great Perfection. As long as their realms stabilized, they could attempt to refine Natural Fire and charge into the Burning Fire Stage.
Han Yitian and the other two people couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the lack of worry on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. Bai Ningxue noticed that her sister strangely didn't pull her away. Doubt appeared on her face as her eyes continuously scanned the backs of Ye Hao and Bai Qingyou.
After chatting with Han Yitian and the other two for a while and signalling to them not to worry, Ye Hao finally returned to his own residence.
Lying on the wooden bed, Ye Hao couldn't help but take a deep breath and let out a long breath.
This trip of the Burning Fire Cemetery was like never a moment where he could relax. Both his body and mind were exhausted.
Fortunately, he had brought Qing Wu back safely. Even though he had experienced many difficulties, it was all worth it. This allowed him to finally let go of the worry that he had been worrying about for a whole year.
Ye Hao slowly opened his eyes after lying there for a long time. The laziness on his face had already disappeared.
The would probably send people over soon as the Karakorum Savant's forbidden area opens. By then, would the patriarch alone be able to stop the will of the Heavenly Flame Sect?
Furthermore, Ye Hao had a knot in his heart.
That year, his father had been forced into the Kunlun Mountains by Heavenly Flame Sect, so no matter what, he would take revenge on this debt of blood.
"Still not strong enough."
Ye Hao stood up and sat cross-legged. Even though he had brought Qing Wu back safely, the eagerness to become stronger in his heart did not weaken. Putting aside the blood feud in Heavenly Flame Sect, just his soul alone had a huge hidden danger which would unknowingly erupt.
If he wanted to completely finish off that evil spirit, he must quickly become stronger.
After sitting in silence for a while, Ye Hao did not waste any more time. He took out three Storage Bag s from his chest with a fiery look of anticipation on his face.
These three Storage Bag were taken from Son-of-Saint of Liehyang, Son-of-Saint Qing Hong and the Black Demon Holy Son. He had been so nervous that he almost forgot about this matter.
"I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
Ye Hao had already understood the background of a heaven's pride expert with Son-of-Saint Level. These people were the treasures of a transcendent power; they could even be said to be a moving treasure trove.
Amidst the burning gaze, Ye Hao's Spiritual Sense slowly probed into the three Storage Bag.
Immediately, a large number of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and divine spirit medicine weapons appeared in his senses.
"Sixth-Grade Elixir, quasi-Seventh-Grade Elixir, Tao Weapon again …" Ye Hao's breathing gradually became rapid, "These guys are really rich."
"That is …" Seventh-Grade Elixir?! "
Ye Hao's eyes widened as his breathing quickened. He could not help but reveal a look of ecstasy on his face.
Amongst the three Storage Bag, other than the three Tao Weapon being the most precious, there were actually two other Seventh-Grade Elixir. Regarding the First-grade Rank's spirit medicine, Ye Hao's attention was definitely above the Tao Weapon.
After all, even though Tao Weapon were the most valuable treasures of the Celestial Phenomenon Stage, they were still external objects in the end, and Seventh-Grade Elixir were the indispensable resources of his Cultivation of Extreme Stage. Even if he killed Ao Hongchen, Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape and the rest, he only obtained two stalks of Seventh-Grade Elixir.
"With these two Seventh-Grade Elixir, the resources needed for refining the bones can be considered to have been gathered!"
A sharp light flashed in Ye Hao's eyes. He had trained in Dragon-Mounting Tripolar Stage till now, but still had not reached the consummate stage of the first level of the Golden Body Realm.
The resources needed for the Polar Arts were simply too terrifying. Just the Bone Refining stage required four Seventh-Grade Elixir, and the final Bone Refining stage required the support of an eighth grade spirit medicine.
Ye Hao had never seen such a rare and precious herb before, no matter if it was within the Holy Spirit Clan's secret storage area or in the hands of these heaven's pride experts.
Of course, although the resources required to cultivate it were terrifying, the Polar Arts was unquestionably powerful.
Ye Hao was currently only at the peak of the Altering Muscle stage, and his body could be said to be invincible within the Tao Soul Stage. Even with Ao Hongchen's Red Lotus Divine Body, if it wasn't for the fact that his realm was higher than his by a large amount, it would be absolutely unable to contend against him.
And if he was at the perfection stage of the Bone Refining stage, then his physique would absolutely surpass Burning Fire Stage.
One must know that the Burning Fire Stage that was mentioned here was not the Burning Fire Stage of a subsidiary power like the Great Yan Empire. Instead, it was the profound heritage of the Burning Fire Stage practitioners from those transcendent powers.
"When this matter is over, I can try refining the bones."
Ye Hao Qiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not immediately start cultivating.
After all, the medicinal power of the Seventh-Grade Elixir was too terrifying, even the Celestial Phenomenon Stage experts did not dare to take it directly. If not for the miraculous power of the Polar Arts, just based on the fact that he had a small portion of it, it would have exploded completely. Only after three days would he be able to extinguish the auras of the people from the Flame Dragon Dynasty, giving him time to train and refine his bones.
After making his decision, Ye Hao placed the spirit herbs inside into his own Storage Bag, and then took out the three Tao Weapon s.
These three Tao Weapon s were respectively a large golden seal, a nine-section whip with flowing Divine Light, and an ancient and austere long spear with mystical runes engraved on the tip.
Ye Hao's expression could not help but become serious as he sensed the terrifying fluctuations coming from the Tao Weapon.
This kind of weapon was indeed worthy of being called the most precious treasure in the Celestial Phenomenon Stage, the power it contained was too terrifying. Even though Tao Soul Stage could only display a small portion of its power, it was still extremely terrifying, and probably not even Burning Fire Stage experts would dare to take it head-on.
Of course, it was fortunate that his Tao Soul Stage could not activate the true might of the Tao Weapon, otherwise, it would not be so easy for Ye Hao to kill those heaven chosen of the Son-of-Saint Level.
After playing with the three Tao Weapon for a while, Ye Hao kept them. Counting these three, he already had six Tao Weapon s on him, and one of them was the one that was scariest, the red Longsword that was called Ao Hongchen.
"It seems like Tao Weapon are also divided into different grades."
Ye Hao nodded secretly. He couldn't help but think of the dozens of Son-of-Saint Level Heaven's Pride that had been burned by the Chaotic Fire, and under the terrifying might of the Chaotic Fire, not only were the group of Holy Children burnt into nothingness, even the Storage Bag were gone. This made his heart bleed.
After sighing for a while, Ye Hao let go of his useless emotions and took out a few equally rare Heavenly and Earthly Treasures s from the Storage Bag and began to cultivate extravagantly.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye amidst this boring cultivation.
"..."
On this day, the center area around the dueling platform in the academy's center was filled with a black mass of people. From the Body Tempering Stage s to the Spiritual Evolution Stage s, as long as one had Tianxuan Academy s, they were already present.
After all, he had been bullied into stepping into the clan by the Flame Dragon Dynasty, and had been humiliated for so many days. It was not easy for Ye Hao and the others to return, and after taking a deep breath, he managed to recover a little bit of face.
However, Ye Hao's unbridled provocation pushed the academy into a difficult situation.
One must know that Ye Hao was no ordinary disciple. He was an expert on the Proclamation of Azure Sky and represented the school's strongest group of heaven's pride experts.
Before, when the people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky had yet to return, they could still use this as an excuse. But if Ye Hao lost this time, then they wouldn't even be able to find an excuse to console themselves, let alone someone who refuted Flame Dragon Dynasty.
"Sigh, that Ye Hao has really lost his mind. He is only ranked sixth on the Proclamation of Azure Sky. How could he possibly be a match for Soong Jun?"
"Not to mention Ye Hao, even Sixth-Crown King would be in a tough battle if he were to go against Soong Jun."
"He really doesn't know when to retreat. I'm afraid our academy will lose all face because of him."
"What are you talking about then? A few days ago when Lv Hong was acting arrogantly on stage, why didn't I see you go up? "Now you have the face of an experienced person, be careful that I don't beat you up!"
"You … Even if he defeated Lv Hong, he would definitely not be a match for Soong Jun. He would have to retreat when the time comes, could it be that he's wrong? "
Almost no one in the crowd of Sky Profound disciples was optimistic about this battle, and all of them complained about Ye Hao's failure to see the results properly. Only a small portion of people were hoping for a miracle to happen, but when they thought about how terrifying Soong Jun was, their faces turned extremely ugly.
"Look, that Soong Jun went on stage."
Soong Jun was standing on a stage not far away from the crowd. His expression was indifferent as he walked out of the crowd and stood proudly on the stage. He looked around and the originally noisy crowd felt a strong pressure as he swept his gaze over them.
"Where's Ye Hao?"
Soong Jun spoke faintly without any response, causing the faces of the crowd of Sky Profound disciples to become even more unsightly.
"Hahaha, I told you that kid wouldn't dare to come."
"He really is a cowardly turtle. Is someone going to send him a message that he has gone into seclusion?"
"..."
Even the Great Yan Dynasty's Patriarch couldn't help but to shake his head as he said playfully to Gu Shentan, who was seated at the side, "Fellow Daoist Gu, it seems that your Heaven's Pride on the Proclamation of Azure Sky is only so-so."
"Heh heh, he's indeed not a good person." Gu Shentan sighed helplessly, "However, to surpass your Flame Dragon Dynasty's so-called number one heaven's pride expert, Soong Jun, is still a piece of cake."
The old man's skinny face stiffened and anger surfaced in his eyes as he said with a cold smile: "Fellow Daoist Gu, boasting is useless. Right now, you don't even dare to show yourself."
"Bullsh * t? Do you want to take a gamble? " A trace of anger appeared on Gu Shentan's face intentionally, but ridicule could be seen from the depths of his eyes, "Let's bet with Fellow Daoist Flame Dragon's small piece of Scarlet Essence Stone."
Hearing this, the corner of the old man's eyes jumped. Scarlet Essence Stone was an extremely rare divine material, and he had only gotten that one when he had the chance in the early years. He had originally planned to merge it with his own Tao Weapon once his cultivation had advanced another step, which would definitely allow his power to soar.
At this moment, the old man instinctively felt that something was wrong. However, when he saw the anger on Gu Shentan's face that did not seem to be faking it and his trust in Soong Jun's strength, he still asked like a ghost, "What if Soong Jun wins?"
"I also have a small piece of meteoric immortal iron. If he wins, you can take it."
Gu Shentan grunted but was overjoyed in his heart.
"Meteoric immortal iron?"
The grade of the Meteorite Immortal Metal was equal to that of the Scarlet Essence Stone, if the two divine materials were to be completely fused into the Tao Weapon, its power would be hard to predict.
"I made a bet!"
Even though he felt that something was wrong, under the strong temptation, the old man still clenched his teeth and agreed. Then, he sneered: "If that kid doesn't dare to come, then don't worry, Fellow Daoist Gu."
"You're overthinking it. Don't you think that they're already here?"2
Gu Shentan grinned, he could not hide the joy in his heart.
"..."
At this time, the Profound Sky disciples below the stage heard the ear-piercing laughter and all felt shame and anger. They never would have thought that Ye Hao would not even have the courage to fight.
"Dammit, I think too highly of that leaf …"
At the side, a disciple of the Sky Profound Realm, under the shame and anger, was about to curse out loud, but he was interrupted by a palm that suddenly appeared on his shoulder.
"Please step aside, I'm in a hurry."
