Chapter 412: Pill Tower, Three Thousand Burning Flames!
"Central Plains, the central region of the Dou Qi Continent. It is home to countless intricate factions and strange races unseen elsewhere, making it the heart of the continent."
"It is the most fascinating place on the Dou Qi Continent, where peak experts gather, opportunities are endless, and dangers are just as great."
"Among them, the strongest factions are ranked as follows: One Hall, One Tower, Two Valleys, Three Sects, and Four Pavilions!"
"These are the dominant forces of the Central Plains. You are already familiar with One Hall our enemy, the Hall of Souls!"
"Hiss~"
Everyone present gasped upon hearing Wu Tian's words. One of the strongest forces in the Central Plains was actually their sworn enemy, the Hall of Souls!
That was terrifying!
"As for the force equal to the Hall of Souls, the One Tower, that is the Pill Tower. It is the place every alchemist dreams of, filled with countless pills and high tier pill recipes!"
As Wu Tian spoke, his gaze locked onto Xin Lan beside him.
Xin Lan lowered her head slightly, speaking gloomily, "Lord Yan Zun, you are correct. My family once held an Elder seat in the Pill Tower, but that is no longer the case…"
Everyone was shocked to hear Xin Lan's words so she was from a faction within the Pill Tower!
With such a powerful background, why had she come here?
"Xin Lan, I came to find you to help your family regain its Elder seat. In exchange, my goal is the Pill Tower's Heavenly Flame Three Thousand Burning Flames!"
Wu Tian's calm voice rang out.
Xin Lan was stunned and asked in surprise, "How do you know the Pill Tower possesses Three Thousand Burning Flames? Only families with Elder seats have access to such information!"
Wu Tian's expression darkened slightly.
"I have my own sources. All you need to know is that I can help your family reclaim its Elder seat. The choice is yours."
"If Lord Yan Zun personally aids my family, how could I refuse? I would be endlessly grateful!" Xin Lan responded without hesitation, her voice filled with excitement.
"Good. There's no time to waste. Prepare tonight we set off for the Central Plains tomorrow!"
"Understood! Xin Lan thanks Lord Yan Zun for his assistance!"
…
After leaving the Sunfire Alliance, Queen Medusa appeared.
As Wu Tian's wife, Cai Lin didn't ask about Xiao Mei or Xin Lan. Instead, curiosity flickered in her eyes as she asked, "Husband, the Pill Tower is such a formidable force. Will we provoke them by going there?"
Wu Tian gazed at Cai Lin's exquisite face and smiled warmly.
"No, my dear, you don't understand. No one has ever been able to subdue the Pill Tower's Three Thousand Burning Flames. Due to the Pill Tower's unique status, the Heavenly Flame is up for grabs to anyone capable of taking it!"
"Besides, the Pill Tower has only sealed Three Thousand Burning Flames all these years, but it is far from an easy opponent."
"Look at the Fallen Heart Flame from Jia Nan Academy it's clear how much effort and time it takes to completely suppress a Heavenly Flame."
"Even the Pill Tower wouldn't waste excessive resources keeping Three Thousand Burning Flames contained. In fact, they are preparing to release it!"
"Release it???"
Cai Lin's confusion deepened. Why would they allow others to subdue a Heavenly Flame, one of the most powerful natural treasures in existence?
Even with the Pill Tower's vast resources, this seemed like an unwise decision.
"Of course, it's not as simple as it sounds. Every thirty years, the Dou Qi Continent hosts the largest event in the alchemy world the Pill Gathering, and only the Pill Tower has the right to organize it!"
"The Pill Tower plans to use the Pill Gathering to release Three Thousand Burning Flames. Anyone who enters the top ten will have the right to attempt its subjugation but only the right!"
"Participants must gather their own materials for the process. If they die, it's their own fault!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. Since it belongs to the Pill Tower, its ranking on the Heavenly Flame List must be high, right?"
Wu Tian nodded.
"Indeed. Three Thousand Burning Flames, also known as the Three Thousand Starry Flames, ranks ninth on the Heavenly Flame List two places higher than Bone Chilling Flame."
"This flame is one of the most elusive and mysterious on the list."
"It doesn't originate from the earth but from the distant starry skies. When it forms, silver flames descend from the heavens, turning a thousand miles into a barren wasteland. Day and night become indistinguishable, and neither the sun nor the stars can be seen!"
"Because it dwells in the cosmos, it is nearly impossible for ordinary people to reach. As a result, Three Thousand Burning Flames has existed far longer than most other Heavenly Flames, giving it ample time to evolve."
"Most discovered instances of Three Thousand Burning Flames possess extraordinarily high intelligence, making them incredibly difficult to capture."
"Even the legendary Tou She Ancient Emperor only managed to find and consume it toward the end of his reign!"
Cai Lin grew even more intrigued by Three Thousand Burning Flames.
"If it's a flame from the stars, it must be breathtakingly beautiful. Its abilities must also be unique!"
"The abilities of this flame are indeed different from the ones I possess. It has a particularly special trait the legendary 'Three Thousand Star Physique,' also known as the Immortal Body!"
"The reason for this name is that Three Thousand Burning Flames grants its wielder incredible vitality."
"Like the Magic Cockroach Beast among magical beasts, no matter how severe the injuries, it rapidly heals and restores battle strength at an astonishing speed!"
"If you face an opponent with this Three Thousand Star Physique, your only option is to kill them instantly in one blow. Otherwise, as long as they have even a single breath left, they will recover to full strength!"
"Because of this, warriors with this physique are a nightmare to fight against. No one wants an enemy with such terrifying resilience!"
Hearing this, even Cai Lin couldn't help but feel envious. Who wouldn't want an immortal body like that?
However, she had already experienced the excruciating pain of being burned by a Heavenly Flame and had no desire to endure it again. Besides, she couldn't refine a Heavenly Flame.
Still, with the flame seed Wu Tian had given her, she could accelerate her power growth essentially absorbing the benefits of a Heavenly Flame in another way.
Wu Tian gazed at the starry sky, a smirk playing on his lips.
"This upcoming Pill Gathering… I wonder if it will be entertaining."
He had already slain Elder Mu Gu, and Xiao Yan had left with Yao Chen. Would they show up at this grand event?
Yao Chen, that old man, was a former champion of the Pill Gathering and had deep ties within the Pill Tower… His beloved was there. Surely, he wouldn't miss this event.
If so, then things would become quite interesting.
Xiao Yan… I hope that when we meet again, you will give me a pleasant surprise.
