Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

On the eve of setting out to find the Purple Lotus Flame, Xiao Muchen knew the difficulty and danger of this trip, so he decided to help Xuanying refine his body first to strengthen the team. Previously, in the thrilling battle with the Evil Dark Palace, the bodies of two Dou Zun peak powerhouses were captured, which could now be used by Xuanying.

Xiao Muchen had put a lot of effort into this refining. He had used up many precious pills, all of which were treasures he had collected. Among them was the Nine-Turn Diamond Pill that could reshape the bones and muscles. This pill was round and translucent, emitting brilliant golden light. Each pill contained a magnificent vitality, as if it had condensed the purest vitality between heaven and earth. There was also the Heavenly Soul Gathering Pill that could condense the soul. The pill was surrounded by a dreamlike mist, as if it could piece together the broken soul.

Xiao Muchen began to refine in a closed secret room. The secret room was engraved with complex array runes, flashing with mysterious light. He placed the bodies of two Dou Zun peak masters in the center of the array, quickly formed seals with his hands, and injected powerful Dou Qi into the array.

The flames burned fiercely under Xiao Muchen's control, and the scorching heat caused the air in the secret room to become distorted. As time passed, the two bodies began to slowly merge, with bones, meridians, and muscles intertwined, gradually forming a brand new body.

Sweat rolled down Xiao Muchen's forehead, but his eyes remained firm, not daring to slack off in the slightest. He kept adjusting the temperature of the flames and adding various precious materials and elixirs.

After several days of meticulous refining, in a dazzling light, Xuanying's new body finally appeared in front of everyone. A powerful aura spread like a tide, and the surrounding space trembled. Everyone was amazed that Xuanying's strength had broken through to the early stage of Dou Sheng in one fell swoop, directly skipping the semi-saint stage.

At this moment, something unexpected happened. Xuan Ying looked at Xuan Fan, with complex emotions in his eyes, and slowly said: "My child, I didn't expect to meet you again today. Our family was once glorious, but it gradually declined due to various changes. Now that I have been reborn, I will definitely work with you to revive the glory of the family."

Everyone was surprised to find that Xuan Ying was Xuan Fan's ancestor. Xuan Fan's eyes widened with disbelief, and then he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He never thought that the person in front of him who had been reborn and was so powerful was actually the legendary ancestor of his family.

After making all preparations, Xiao Muchen, along with Xuan Ying, Xuan Fan, several Dou Zun-level disciples, and Lin Wan'er, set out on a journey to find the Zi Lan You Lian Fire.

Along the way, Xiao Muchen's face was always solemn. He knew very well that the Purple Lotus Fire was not something that could be easily obtained. Without full preparation, going there rashly would only lead to an extremely dangerous situation.

Led by Xiao Muchen, the group moved forward cautiously. Everywhere they passed was an uninhabited valley and a gloomy forest. Sometimes there was a gloomy wind whistling past, and the wind seemed to carry the cries of countless wronged souls; sometimes there was a strange sound coming from the dark, which made people shudder.

Lin Wan'er looked at Xiao Muchen's frown and said softly, "Muchen, is this trip really so difficult?"

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wan'er, this Purple Lotus Fire is a rare thing in the world. Possessing it is enough to make a force rise, and it can also drive countless people crazy. There must be many obstacles and powerful protective forces around it. We must be extremely careful. If we are not careful, we may be doomed."

Lin Wan'er nodded gently, her eyes revealing determination: "I believe you, Muchen."

As they continued to move forward, the closer they got to the purple fire land, the weirder the surrounding environment became. The originally lush trees gradually became sparse, replaced by a charred land, as if it had been burned by endless flames.

The temperature was rising, and the scorching heat was blowing in their faces, as if it was going to burn them all to ashes. As soon as the sweat oozed out, it was instantly evaporated.

Xiao Muchen stopped and looked at the area ahead that seemed to be covered by purple flames. He said, "Everyone be careful. We are close to the location of the Purple Lanyou Lotus Fire. From now on, you must be extremely alert."

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert, and their fighting spirit quickly circulated in their bodies, forming a protective film to resist the scorching heat.

Xiao Muchen walked in the front, holding the Star Sword tightly in his hand, the blade flashing with a cold light. Lin Wan'er followed closely behind, the staff in her hand emitting a soft light, ready to cast a buff spell for everyone at any time. Xuan Ying and Xuan Fan stood on both sides, vigilantly observing the movements around them.

As we went deeper, the surrounding scene became more and more bizarre. Purple flames appeared from the ground from time to time, jumping like they had life. The air was filled with a pungent smell of sulfur, making it difficult to breathe.

One disciple couldn't help but say, "This place is too weird, is there really a Purple Lanyou Lotus Fire?"

Xiao Muchen looked back at him and said seriously, "Since there are clues from our predecessors, there can be no mistake. Everyone, don't be distracted."

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, carrying countless sparks, and rushed towards everyone.

Xiao Muchen shouted: "Form a defensive formation!"

Everyone quickly formed a circle and each used their strongest defensive fighting skills. Xiao Muchen waved the Star Sword in his hand, and a sword energy turned into a barrier, blocking most of the sparks.

After the strong wind, before everyone had time to catch their breath, the ground began to shake violently, and a huge flaming beast emerged from the ground, opened its bloody mouth, and roared at everyone.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were stern: "Everyone, come together and make a quick decision!"

Everyone displayed their unique skills and started a fierce battle with the flame beast. Xiao Muchen's figure was as fast as lightning, and the star sword in his hand shone brightly. Every time he swung the sword, it was accompanied by a sharp sword energy, directly approaching the vital point of the flame beast. Lin Wan'er waved her staff, and healing rays of light sprinkled on everyone, allowing them to maintain sufficient fighting power. Xuan Ying and Xuan Fan cooperated tacitly, displaying the powerful fighting skills inherited from their family. For a time, the light shone brightly and the fighting spirit was rampant.

After a tough battle, the fire monster finally fell to the ground under the joint attack of everyone. However, this was just one of the many challenges they faced.

The group continued to move forward and finally arrived in front of a huge valley. The valley was filled with purple smoke, and in the center they could vaguely see a burning purple flame, which was the Purple Lotus Fire they had been searching for.

But around the flames, there are powerful protective formations and unknown dangers waiting for them.

Xiao Muchen looked at the mysterious and powerful flame and swore secretly in his heart: No matter what the cost, he must get the Purple Lan Youlian Fire.
