Nine Serene Wind Flame howled and surged, twisting through the void, sending out a wave of pride—and faintly, there was even a hint of provocation in it.

Wei Yang couldn’t help pressing a hand to his forehead, at a loss for words.

Sure enough—

Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—

In his dantian, the Death Life Flame, which had already returned to its normal form, had just been happily digesting the energy it had absorbed from this harvest. But upon receiving the Nine Serene Wind Flame’s provocation, it instantly perked up as though jolted to life.

Its surface color, which occasionally shifted, now began changing rapidly—like a Sichuan opera face-change, flickering and morphing at incredible speed.

Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—

A wave of energy pulsed out, no less aggressive than before.

Wuuu—Wuuu—Wuuu!Buzz—Buzz—Buzz!

The two flames started arguing across the air once again.

It seemed that their little grudge had truly taken root.

"Xiao You, stop making trouble," Ah Da said awkwardly, trying to calm things down.

"Forget it, let them bicker if they want," Wei Yang said, waving his hand. For squabbles like this—so much like children playing—he had no interest in interfering.

If they wanted to quarrel, let them. Once they got tired, they’d stop on their own.

Together, their intelligence probably didn’t even add up to that of an eight-year-old child. What could you do? Let them be.

"Let’s go." Wei Yang stepped forward, heading toward the outer edge of the Vortex of Wind.

Behind him, Ah Da followed, carrying the Nine Serene Wind Flame along.

Along the way, the two flames kept up their heated exchange—chirping, snapping, one after another, neither willing to yield, almost to the point of looking ready to come to blows.

As for exactly what they were arguing about—Wei Yang and Ah Da had no idea.

They’d never studied "infant flame language."

Heavenly Flames that had truly awakened spiritual intelligence were essentially a special kind of living being.

Some, like the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Nihility Devouring Flame, had even fully transformed into human form—and in intelligence, far surpassed most humans.

From appearance alone, they were no different from an ordinary person. If you met them without knowing the truth, you’d never imagine their real body was a Heavenly Flame.

Oh, and later on, even Xiao Yan’s Flame Spirit took on human shape, with intelligence that was absurdly high.

So now, Wei Yang and Ah Da bringing along Death Life and the Nine Serene was no different from escorting two mischievous children.

Perhaps it was the first time since gaining intelligence that Death Life had found a "playmate" it could talk to—it was brimming with energy.

Otherwise, normally, when nothing was happening, it would just quietly go to sleep.

The Nine Serene Wind Flame was probably the same—ever since it had been born, it had stayed here for endless years, never encountering another of its kind.

Now that it had suddenly met someone it could argue with, getting fired up wasn’t strange at all. It wasn’t that they didn’t understand that they’d be on the same side in the future—it was just that children sometimes had... unique ways of expressing affection.

As for Xian’er’s Ghostly Poison Flame and the Life Spirit Flame, they hadn’t yet truly awakened intelligence—otherwise, things would probably be even livelier.

They stepped out of the wind eye and into the Vortex of Wind.

With the Nine Serene Wind Flame present, their passage was leisurely—like strolling through a courtyard. The Yin Wind along the way automatically parted to avoid them, never daring to approach.

Ah Da hesitated before asking, "Master, should we... leave a sliver of life behind?"

Ah Da himself wasn’t inclined to leave one—people are selfish, after all.

But, knowing Wei Yang’s style, he still felt he should ask, so they wouldn’t have to come back specifically for it later.

Hearing this, Wei Yang paused slightly, a look of contemplation crossing his face.

Should he leave behind a seed flame?

After thinking it over, Wei Yang shook his head. "The Nine Serene Wind Flame is different. We’ll hold off for now—leave it for the future. When the day comes that you reach the Dou Sheng realm, then you can return here and leave a seed for those who come after."

"Dou Sheng?!" Ah Da’s pupils shrank.

Dou Sheng—that was far too distant.

If you waited until Dou Sheng realm to leave behind a seed, it wouldn’t even count as a "sliver" of life—more like a single thread.

"The Nine Serene Wind Flame is in the top ten—its significance is different. Just like with the Life Spirit Flame, I didn’t leave one either."

Wei Yang gave Ah Da a sidelong glance, then turned slightly to look back toward the wind eye. In a calm voice, he said, "At the very least, we haven’t gone so far as to do things to the absolute extreme, have we? Once you’re revived, achieving Nine Changes won’t be hard. As for Dou Sheng realm—that will depend on your fate."

"So whether this seed is left behind or not, whether it can

"Two of them?!" Ah Da was startled.

"Two." Wei Yang nodded. "You didn’t think your Nine Serene Wind Flame was one of a kind, did you?"

"Who has the other one?" Ah Da asked curiously.

"The Yao Clan." Wei Yang withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.

"The Yao Clan, huh." Ah Da smacked his lips and instantly dismissed certain ideas in his heart.

Originally, he had thought of finding a way in the future to snatch that other Nine Serene Wind Flame and feed it to Xiao You.

But if it was with the Yao Clan... forget it.

One of the Ancient Eight Clans—better not provoke them.

—

At the edge of the Vortex of Wind—

Xian’er, Qing Lin, and Du Jiao stood quietly, waiting.

"Sister Xian’er, the battle over at the Wind Eye has already been over for a while, and Young Master has put away the Death Life Flame, so he should be coming out soon." Qing Lin said with a smile.

"Mm." Xian’er smiled and nodded.

Then she smiled again and asked, "The Nine Serene Wind Flame actually suits you quite well, are you sure you don’t want it?"

"Nope." Qing Lin shook her head repeatedly, frowning, with a look of dislike. "That wind—its sound is way too unpleasant, and it’s pitch-black, not pretty at all."

Then she smiled with narrowed eyes. "Compared to the Nine Serene Wind Flame, I still prefer the Life Spirit Flame."

Hearing this, Xian’er couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Well of course—the Life Spirit Flame ranked fifth, even a fool would know which one to prefer. This girl sure had her little calculations. If she didn’t have the option, would she still be picky?

Thinking of this, Xian’er couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her cheek hard.

"Mm! Sister Xian’er, that hurts!"

"Still dare to play tricks on me?" Xian’er glared at her.

"Don’t dare, don’t dare." Qing Lin’s heart jumped and she quickly shook her head.

"You little thing—if there’s something good, do you think Brother Yang would give it to an outsider instead of you? Still playing mind games." Xian’er scolded.

"Well... I was just afraid he might trade it away to that Xiao Yan again." Qing Lin said a little aggrievedly.

"The Sea Heart Flame only ranked fifteenth—Brother Yang didn’t care for it and had no use for it, that’s why he traded it to Xiao Yan. But the Life Spirit Flame? Impossible." Xian’er said, a bit speechless.

"Anyway, I just like the Life Spirit Flame." Qing Lin hugged Xian’er’s arm and said coquettishly.

"You..." Xian’er chuckled and lightly tapped her forehead.

While the two women were chatting and laughing, Du Jiao suddenly spoke in his muffled voice, "Master, they’re coming out."

"Hm?"

Hearing that, the smiles on both women’s faces instantly vanished, replaced by seriousness as they turned their heads forward.

In the distance ahead, two blurry figures were striding toward them.

What surprised them even more was that the two seemed to be walking very casually, completely at ease. Along the way, every fierce gust of wind they encountered became gentle and voluntarily made way.

Immediately, both Xian’er and Qing Lin showed a hint of joy on their faces.

They knew—they had succeeded.

It wasn’t long before Wei Yang and Ah Da stepped out of the Vortex of Wind and came before them.

"Brother Yang, you’re okay?"

"Young Master?"

"I’m fine." Wei Yang waved his hand with a smile, his mood clearly good. "Everything went smoothly—the Nine Serene Wind Flame is in hand."

Hearing this, Xian’er’s gaze shifted, landing on Ah Da. More precisely—on the writhing, spiritual-looking black wind swirling around him.

"So this is the Nine Serene Wind Flame?" Xian’er asked curiously.

Qing Lin also leaned in, staring closely at the black wind.

"Reporting to Mistress, this is indeed the Nine Serene Wind Flame, and it is now under my control." Ah Da said excitedly.

As he spoke, with a light lift of his hand, the black wind rapidly shrank and obediently landed in his palm.

Ah Da grinned foolishly, his mood still surging with excitement, unable to calm down. No wonder—holding a top ten Heavenly Flame, who wouldn’t be excited?

In this world, how many could boast such an honor?
