Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

After crossing the space gate, Xiao Yan and his followers followed Patriarch Danta and arrived at Danta's private territory, which was also the place where the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was born, the Wanyao Mountains.

Xiao Yan looked at the place he had been away from for a long time, and his past experiences here flooded into his mind. That was one of the few times Xiao Yan came close to death, and he could not forget it even if he wanted to.

It was also here that Xiao Yan encountered the three sisters Hun Yan for the first time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's eyes were sad, and he was also feeling emotional in his heart.

Whether it was myself meeting them for the first time, or them meeting themselves for the first time, I'm afraid neither could have anticipated the final outcome.

Then Xiao Yan came back to his senses, suddenly remembered something, and looked at the Danta Patriarch to ask.

"Senior, from what you just said in the space channel, you are very familiar with the Pure Lotus Demon Saint?"

“Not familiar, just met a few times.” Patriarch Danta waved his hand gently, Xiao Yan understood, a white light flashed in his hand, and the map related to the Pure Lotus Demon Fire appeared in his palm. Looking at Patriarch Danta, he asked, “Then, senior, do you know what this is?”

Xiao Yan showed the map in front of Patriarch Danta so openly, without any suspicion at all, or there was no need for him to be cautious.

Anyway, Xiao Yan still hasn't figured out what this thing is used for, so it would be a waste to keep it hidden. Even if it is taken away by the Danta Patriarch, there is no need to regret it.

Patriarch Danta was just looking over casually, but when he saw the map in Xiao Yan's hand, he was slightly stunned, and then his expression became solemn.

"This is."

"It is composed of four fragments of pictures that I found by chance during my travels over the years. My master guessed that it is related to the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but I am not sure what its specific function is. Could you please explain it to me, senior?"

Xiao Yan respectfully presented the map to Patriarch Danta. Patriarch Danta raised his little hand and the map flew into his tender hands. He then spread out the map and glanced at it with his clear and wise eyes. He was startled at first, then gradually calmed down, and finally smiled.

“Haha. I really didn’t expect that he had this trick up his sleeve.” Patriarch Danta closed the map and gently threw it to Xiao Yan. “Little friend Xiao Yan, you are so lucky. It seems that even the heavens are blessing you.”

Xiao Yan held the map and looked at Patriarch Danta in confusion, who chuckled and said.

“As I said before, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire is violent in nature. Even a strong man like the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was killed by it. Ordinary strong men don’t have much chance to refine it. Even if they are lucky enough to refine it successfully, the final result will probably be the same as the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.” Patriarch Danta glanced at the people present and said leisurely: “At least in my eyes, none of these people present can bear the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed. The Ancient Clan and the Thunder Clan were fine. The two clans had their own purposes for coming here, and they were not actually that sad about the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

Yao Wanhuo's expression changed slightly. He had decided to give up the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and fully assist Xiao Yan in order to do him a favor. However, even so, he still had regrets in his heart.

That is the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, the third-ranked strange fire on the strange fire rankings. How could we not feel regretful when giving it up with such difficulty?
Now, after hearing what Patriarch Danta said, Yao Wanhuo felt a lot more relieved.

Since you can't get it in the first place, there's no need to feel regretful.

At this time, Patriarch Danta fixed his gaze on Xiao Yan and said lightly.

"Including you, Xiao Yan. From the moment we met just now, I noticed that you have several kinds of strange fire in your body, and some of them are of high quality. I guess you used some special skills." Patriarch Danta paused, and continued, "However, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire is a strange fire with self-awareness. Although it has been sealed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint until now, it has also absorbed the remaining strength of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. In these years, the Pure Lotus Demon Fire has appeared several times, but has not been subdued by anyone so far. You can roughly guess how terrifying its strength is."

Yes, thousands of years have passed since the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was sealed by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and during these thousands of years, many powerful people have coveted the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. This is indeed recorded in the history of the eight clans and is an indisputable fact.

But in the end, none of those strong men who came to seize the Pure Lotus Demon Fire succeeded, and many even died in the battle, which was enough to prove that the power of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire was extraordinary.

When Xiao Xuan, who was standing behind Xiao Yan, heard what Patriarch Danta said, his expression turned a little ugly.

The reason why Xiao Xuan came to fight against the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire this time was not entirely because of Xiao Yan, but also because of her own reasons.

She clearly remembered that her cousin, who was as close to her as a brother, had participated in the fight for the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and eventually disappeared completely, with his whereabouts unknown, most likely having been killed by the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

So to put it bluntly, Xiao Xuan and the Pure Lotus Demon Fire have a grudge against each other.

At this time, Xiao Yan looked at Patriarch Danta and asked again.

"Senior, what is the opportunity you just mentioned?"

“That’s it.” Patriarch Danta raised his hand and pointed at the map in Xiao Yan’s hand, saying, “If you originally had no chance of successfully refining the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, but now you have this map in hand, plus the special technique you’ve practiced, the probability of you successfully refining the Pure Lotus Demon Fire should be about 30%, not 20%. ”

%
Everyone's faces changed. They all heard that the map in Xiao Yan's hand was the key to subduing the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but even so, was the success rate only 20%?

Xun'er looked worried after hearing this and came to Xiao Yan to dissuade him.

"Brother Xiao Yan, even with this map, the probability of successfully refining the Pure Lotus Demon Fire is only 20%. What if it fails..."

“Xun’er, don’t worry. I know my limits.” Xiao Yan chuckled, and then looked at the Danta Patriarch. “Senior seems to have misunderstood. I have no intention of refining the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.”

Xiao Yan's words stunned Yao Wanhuo and the others. They had originally thought that Xiao Yan must have come here to refine the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, but now he said that he didn't have that intention? What did you mean?
Cai Lin, Gu Qinghan, Feng Huang and other close people except Xun'er all looked normal. Xiao Yan had already told them the purpose of his visit before coming, so they were not surprised.

When Patriarch Danta heard what Xiao Yan said, he was stunned and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"You have no intention of refining the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire? Then what are you doing here?"

“Initially, it was just to prevent the emergence of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire from causing a chain of unrest in Zhongzhou, so I decided to come here to minimize the impact as much as possible.” Xiao Yan said so calmly, “And after listening to your story just now, I have a new idea.”

"If the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire is really as violent as you said, it will surely bring disaster to the Central Plains if it escapes. And you also said that no one present can subdue it, so I only have one goal."

Xiao Yan paused, his expression solemn, and spoke word by word.

"Seal it completely. If possible, it would be best to completely annihilate it from the world."

Listening to Xiao Yan's solemn words and looking at his clear blue eyes, Patriarch Danta came to a conclusion in his heart.

What Xiao Yan said was all true, without a trace of falsehood.

Patriarch Danta frowned slightly and said.

"Do you really want to give up? That's the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. If you succeed in refining it, it will definitely greatly increase your strength. A 20% chance sounds low, but it's already quite generous for an opportunity of this level."

Yes, a 20% chance of greatly increasing strength, and if it fails, both the body and soul will be destroyed, which sounds like a very uneconomical deal. But the magnitude of this huge increase in strength is definitely worth the risk.

When Xiao Yan heard what Patriarch Danta said, he shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

"I have never aimed to improve my strength. Strength is just a means to achieve my goal. Now this means is enough for me. There is no need to gamble for the 20% probability."

Xiao Yan is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of meaningless death.

The rewards for successfully refining the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire are very attractive, but for Xiao Yan, it is not necessary for him.

Now that the Tianhe Alliance has completely gotten on the right track, the pressure from the eight clans is gradually weakening over time. As long as he waits a few more years, the world that he expects can be truly built.

And if he died, then everything that the alliance had established today might collapse. Xiao Yan believed that Yunying could continue his ideals, but many times problems could not be solved by just believing.

To sum up, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Xiao Yan came to a conclusion.

It would be better not to have this Pure Lotus Demon Fire. What's more, I still have many important people here. I can't just put myself in danger for an unnecessary thing without any scruples.

"So, Senior, I beg you to help me and completely seal the Pure Lotus Demon Fire."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and saluted solemnly to Patriarch Danta, bowing his head deeply to show his full respect for him.

Patriarch Danta looked at Xiao Yan who bowed his head to him, and his heart, which had been calm since birth, suddenly began to ripple.

This kind of person who has such a clear understanding of power is the first time that the Danta Patriarch has seen in thousands of years, especially someone of Xiao Yan's level.

Xiao Yan knew better than any powerful man that Danta Patriarch had ever seen why he pursued power, and he would never betray his original intention for the sake of power.

After a long silence, the corner of Danta's mouth slightly raised, and then he laughed out loud.

“Hahahahaha~ Good! Good! Good!”

The childish and hearty laughter, as well as the three consecutive "good" words, made everyone clearly hear the joy in the laughter of Patriarch Danta.

After a while, Patriarch Danta gradually stopped laughing and looked at Xiao Yan with shining eyes.

"This time, I will do my best to seal the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Xiao Yan looked overjoyed, while Patriarch Danta waved his hand lightly.

“No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. If it were anyone else, even if they were the former Pure Lotus Demon Saint, I would not even bother with them.”

Xiao Yan smiled, and then his eyes focused, and he suddenly remembered the matter of the Fire Spirit Fairy. He closed his eyes slightly and spread his spiritual awareness to search the Wanyao Mountains, but he did not find the figures of the Fire Spirit Fairy and others.

Although he didn't find her, Xiao Yan was very sure that the Fire Spirit Fairy was here. She must have used some secret method to conceal her whereabouts.

“Everyone, go find the Fire Spirit Fairy before the Pure Lotus Demon Fire actually appears in the world. Make sure she doesn’t cause any trouble.” Xiao Yan said, his expression stern. “Also, be sure to be vigilant while searching. The Soul Clan has not made any movement so far. It’s possible that they have already ambushed here. Please be careful.”

"Ok!"

Everyone nodded in unison and dispersed. Yao Chen was about to go look for it, but was stopped by Xiao Yan and Han Feng. Han Feng spoke lightly while Yao Chen was looking at him in astonishment.

"Teacher, you stay here."

"That Fire Fairy is targeting you. It would be terrible if you run into her. Senior Yao, please stay here for the time being."

Xiao Yan scratched his cheek lightly and said this very awkwardly. Yao Chen was silent for a while, and then nodded.

At this time, in the forests of Wanyao Mountains, a team of Yan clan envoys were walking leisurely in the mountains. The stunning woman in the lead was dressed in red, walking barefoot on the ground, but she was not stained with a single speck of dust while walking. Who else could it be but the Fire Spirit Fairy?
As she was walking, the Fire Fairy suddenly turned her head to look at the sky blocked by leaves. She frowned slightly, her eyes revealed displeasure, and she murmured in a low voice.

"You're here so soon! I brought people here at midnight yesterday. It's really quick."

Just as Xiao Yan guessed, the Fire Spirit Fairy used a secret method to conceal the soul traces of their group, making Xiao Yan unable to detect their location through their souls.

Hearing the Fire Spirit Fairy's murmurs, an envoy of the Yan Clan behind him also sensed the breath of Xiao Yan and his group, and said to the Fire Spirit Fairy with an embarrassed expression.

"Elder Huo Ling, how about we stop hiding? This time the clan leader specifically ordered us to make friends with Xiao Yan and obey him as much as possible. Is that what you want to do?"

Before the Yan clan envoy could finish his words, the Fire Spirit Fairy glared at him coldly.

"What? Do you need to question how I do things? Do you want me to be the elder?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

The envoy of the Yan clan lowered his head hurriedly. Although the Fire Spirit Fairy was not so cruel as to kill people directly when she was unhappy, she would still beat them up, and he did not want to get beaten up in vain.

When the Fire Spirit Fairy saw him lower his head, she snorted softly and turned her gaze to the front again.

"Who would listen to his orders when he disturbed me and the beauty?" Fire Fairy said, with a slight smile on her lips. "Wait for me to get the Pure Lotus Demon Fire first. When the time comes, I will use the Pure Lotus Demon Fire as a condition. I don't believe he won't push his teacher out."

The Fire Spirit Fairy's plan was perfect. She had already imagined the scene where Xiao Yan sincerely persuaded Yao Chen to follow her in order to purify the Demonic Lotus Fire.

The Pure Lotus Demonic Fire was such a rare item that Fire Spirit Fairy didn't believe that Xiao Yan wouldn't be tempted by it.

"Follow closely, don't get discovered, or you'll be in trouble."

The Fire Fairy threatened like this, and the Yan Clan envoys could only follow her into the depths of the jungle with tears in their eyes. (End of this chapter)
