Ah Da." Xian’er smiled.
"Ah Da, congratulations on subduing the Nine Serene Wind Flame." Qing Lin was also genuinely happy and offered her blessings.
"Thank you, two mistresses." Ah Da bowed repeatedly.
At this moment.
Buzz buzz buzz~
Wooo wooo!
Two fluctuations suddenly spread out, rippling through the air. The smile on Ah Da’s face instantly stiffened a little.
"What’s this?" Xian’er asked in surprise.
"The two little ones are quarreling." Wei Yang shook his head, somewhat amused.
"Quarreling? Death Life Flame and Nine Serene Wind Flame?" Qing Lin opened her mouth in disbelief.
"Mm." Wei Yang nodded.
"Mistresses, it’s like this—" Ah Da hurriedly explained.
After listening, both Xian’er and Qing Lin couldn’t help but feel a mix of helplessness and amusement.
Then, the two of them looked on with great interest at the two flames arguing. The two flames, with their childish and adorable mannerisms, instantly stirred up motherly instincts in both women.
Calling them "little ones" affectionately, they patiently coaxed them, telling them not to fight and to behave.
"Xiao You, you’re older, so you need to give way to Death Life."
"Death Life, you can’t bully your big brother, you have to listen."
The way they were acting was really no different from coaxing children.
In the end, Xian’er grinned and imagined aloud, "Brother Yang, in the future when the Ghostly Poison Flame and Life Spirit Flame also gain intelligence, by then we’ll have four little ones together. If they’re all quarreling day and night, it’ll be so lively."
"Yes, yes." Qing Lin’s eyes lit up, her face full of expectation as she said, "At that time, four Heavenly Flames will be flying around us, playing and messing around. Hehe, just thinking about it sounds fun."
"Uh." Wei Yang froze, then said speechlessly, "You’re not worried about the noise? Four of them? I’m already barely tolerating two."
Just the thought of four Heavenly Flames arguing made Wei Yang’s head ache.
Wasn’t this no different from raising a pack of little divine beasts?
Four of them!
Ah Da’s mouth twitched as well.
"Hehe, not at all." Xian’er smiled sweetly, "They’re so small, and so cute."
"Mm-hm." Qing Lin nodded rapidly.
"Fine." Wei Yang curled his lips slightly, deciding not to argue further.
Men and women think differently.
Their definition of "cute" also differs slightly.
After this little interlude.
The group left the Vortex of Wind and once again returned to the skies. Looking down at the magnificent Vortex of Wind below, they couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
The Dou Qi Continent was vast, yet this great expanse of land was only part of this world, not the whole of it.
Who could have imagined that in the desolate depths of this endless dark void, such a colossal Vortex of Wind would exist?
And who could have thought that the winds blowing from here, after traveling a long distance, would eventually create that peculiar environment on the Great Plains of the Black Region in the Black-Corner Region?
And here, hidden away, was even a Nine Serene Wind Flame at the Dou Zun level.
Then.
Wei Yang flipped his hand and took out a map. After carefully examining it for a while, he finally said, "From the Great Plains of the Black Region, we’ve been traveling steadily northward."
"This direction has already deviated quite far from Central Plains. At this point, we don’t even know exactly where we are."
Xian’er and the others also looked at the map, slowly nodding.
Wei Yang moved his finger along the map, pointing toward Central Plains, and said, "Central Plains is in this direction."
Saying that, he raised his head, glancing back in the direction they had come from—the exit of the Vortex of Wind. "We came from there. If we head that way, we’ll return to the Black-Corner Region."
Then, after roughly determining their orientation, he pointed toward the distant horizon, at the dozens of faintly glowing stars, and smiled: "Lucky for us, those dozens of stars mark the direction of Central Plains!"
"That’s great! With those stars to guide us, we won’t have to worry about losing our way in the void." Qing Lin exclaimed softly.
"Mm." Wei Yang and the others smiled and nodded.
In the depths of the dark void, without any landmarks for guidance, it was all too easy to veer off course, and the consequences could be fatal.
As the saying goes: a tiny deviation leads to a thousand miles of error. Even the slightest mistake in direction could, in the end, lead them thousands or tens of thousands of li away from their true destination.
And the further they went, the more outrageous the deviation would become. The reason Wei Yang and his group hadn’t gotten lost on their way here was entirely because they had been chasing against the raging winds all along.
Now that they wanted to leave, the safest method would actually be to return the way they came—following the winds back to the Black-Corner Region first, and then setting out for Central Plains. That way, there would be no chance of getting lost.
But now, with dozens of distant stars serving as their guide, they no longer needed to retrace their steps.
"Then let’s set out!" Wei Yang flipped his hand, putting the map away.
"Du Jiao." Qing Lin reached out and patted Du Jiao’s arm.
Du Jiao nodded.
In that instant, his body erupted with a dazzling purple-black light.
Hiss~
A massive head, covered in purple-black scales, slowly emerged from the glow. Soon, as the light scattered, a gigantic beast nearly twenty zhang long appeared in the void.
Its entire body was covered in palm-sized purple-black scales, and from the top of its head rose a three-foot-long spiral black horn that pierced toward the heavens.
Hiss hiss~
Its forked tongue flickered in and out as the serpent let out a soft hiss.
"Go."
With those words, Wei Yang and the others stepped onto the giant serpent’s head.
"Set off, to Central Plains!"
Wei Yang raised his hand, pointing toward the direction of the stars, his voice brimming with vigor.
Hiss~
The great serpent let out a long hiss, and with a sweep of its body, it shot forward, rushing toward the direction where the stars shone.
In just a few flickers, they had completely vanished into the void.
Silence once again reclaimed the area.
Only the Vortex of Wind below continued to whirl violently, its sinister winds blowing ceaselessly, day after day, never-ending.
In the vast and desolate darkness of the void. Only the faint glow of scattered stars shone weakly. In the distance, a streak of purple-black light raced through the darkness like a meteor.
As it drew closer, one could see clearly—it was a giant serpent.
Whoosh!
The serpent howled as it streaked across the void, chasing stars and chasing the moon, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
In its wake, it left behind faint ripples in the void, like water spreading outward, but with time, those traces too faded into nothingness.
On the serpent’s head.
Wei Yang and the others sat cross-legged, their gazes fixed forward.
In their pupils reflected the dim starlight of those dozens of stars at the edge of the horizon, so far away. On Wei Yang’s face, a faint smile and a glimmer of anticipation appeared.
Central Plains, finally, it was coming into view!
In his heart, a surge of heroic spirit welled up.
A truly grand era was about to begin.
The Jia Ma Empire, the Black-Corner Region, even the entire Northwestern Region—those could only be considered beginner villages.
Only Central Plains was the true grand stage where one could spread their wings and soar. Thinking of this, Wei Yang couldn’t help but let out a soft, self-mocking laugh.
By this calculation, it had already been nearly twenty years since he came to this world.
Almost twenty years of grinding, and finally, he was leaving the beginner’s village!
But it was all worth it.
Without these years of foundation, how could there be any chance of an explosive rise in the future?
And if he wanted to compete in Central Plains against countless geniuses, fight, and ultimately rise above them all to reach the summit—without a solid foundation, it would be impossible.
Now, in his hands were the Death Life Flame, Life Spirit Flame, Nine Serene Wind Flame, and Ghostly Poison Flame—four Heavenly Flames.
He also had the Calamity Poison Body, the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, the Nine-Star Dou Zong Du Jiao, and the Dou Zun-level Ah Da.
Not to mention Wei Yang himself.
This was an utterly terrifying force!
What’s more, Xian’er and Qing Lin’s potential was by no means low—at the very least, both of them had the foundation to reach Dou Sheng.
As for Ah Da after his resurrection, reaching Dou Sheng was uncertain, but given time, Ban Sheng was still within reach.
Du Jiao, on the other hand, would probably peak at Dou Zun.
A ninth evolution was unlikely, because his soul carried a defect.
In short, after reaching Central Plains, it would mark the true period of explosive growth for Wei Yang and his group.
Ah Da’s resurrection.
Xian’er condensing a Poison Pill.
Qing Lin acquiring the soul of the Ancient Heaven Serpent.
