Episode 9

In the dark forest, two people were seen talking. One was a man and the other a woman; they were Zhao Ling and the woman he had helped, Gu Xiao Er.

"Why are you in this forest?" Zhao Ling asked the woman named Gu Xiao Er.

"I just wanted to practice here, is there something wrong?" Gu Xiao Er said in surprise.

"Heh, with your realm, you dare to enter here? Do you want to die?" said Zhao Ling sarcastically, making Gu Xiao Er grit her teeth.

"I am a genius in my clan, and you say my strength is weak?" Gu Xiao Er said angrily.

"Hahahahaha, Miss Gu Clan, maybe in your clan you are a genius, but this is the wilderness. There are no people from your clan here. If I hadn't come earlier, you might already be dead," laughed Zhao Ling, who couldn't believe the girl's way of thinking.

"Hmph," Gu Xiao Er snorted. She preferred to go to another corner of the cave because she was annoyed with Zhao Ling.

"Hmph, what a rude man," Gu Xiao Er said in annoyance. She preferred to recover herself, while on Zhao Ling's side, he had left the cave, leaving the girl behind.

"Hmm, that girl is protected by a Sacred Realm expert, no wonder she dares to enter here," Zhao Ling muttered, then he disappeared into the darkness of the forest. Meanwhile, on Gu Xiao Er's side, a person dressed in black suddenly appeared and knelt on one knee in front of her.

"What do you think of that young man?" said Gu Xiao Er, who still closed her eyes.

"Young Miss, that young man is very mysterious because I can't sense his cultivation realm at all," said the man.

"Interesting, there's someone like that in this Desolate Continent," Gu Xiao Er muttered, and she returned her focus, while the person had already left.

Back to Zhao Ling's side, he was now in a cave very far from Gu Xiao Er's cave.

"Damn, my clan always produces geniuses, only 15 years old and already in the Warrior Realm," Zhao Ling muttered. He found it funny about himself.

"No matter, it seems like many geniuses will be born in my life now. In the past, I became the youngest in the Sacred Realm, but it seems that legend will disappear now," Zhao Ling muttered. Yes, what he said was true, if there was a Warrior Realm expert at his young age.

"Interesting, it seems that there have been many changes since I died. Well, let's see what the future holds for the Golden Sky Realm," Zhao Ling said, then he entered the cave.

After entering, Zhao Ling chose to sit in meditation and drank a second-level pill to increase his energy circle.

Time passed by so quickly, and before he knew it, a week had passed, and now Zhao Ling had finished meditating.

"Now my energy circle has reached five thousand, which is equivalent to the Warrior Realm. Hmm, for now, it's probably enough. I'd better focus on increasing my cultivation. I only have two years left. Even though I have full confidence to face it, I will still let him know who is the sky and who is the earth," Zhao Ling muttered, satisfied with the results of his meditation for a week.

"Alright, now let's explore this forest and look for the Cold Bone Flame," Zhao Ling muttered, and he then darted into the depths of the dark forest.

Rowrrrrrrrrrrr

Boom!

A large bear attacked Zhao Ling blindly.

"Damn bear, I will kill you," Zhao Ling snarled, and he drew his sword.

Slash!

Thud!

The sound of a head falling, and that head was the head of the bear that attacked Zhao Ling. After killing the bear, Zhao Chen took its spirit stone and a few drops of its blood, and he continued his journey exploring the place.

One month passed by so quickly, time flies by, and Zhao Ling had been in the dark forest for almost two months.

Now Zhao Ling was standing at the edge of a dark abyss. The young man looked down with a serious gaze.

"That flame is down there, but can I get in there?" Zhao Ling muttered. Yes, after a long time searching for the Cold Bone Flame, he finally felt its aura in the abyss.

"Huff, well, I've already come this far, so let's go in," Zhao Ling muttered.

Swoosh!

Zhao Ling jumped into the abyss, coating himself with the Golden Emperor Flame, and after a while, he finally reached the bottom easily.

"Hmm, what a terrifying cold energy," Zhao Ling muttered. He felt a chill sensing the cold aura. Fortunately, he had coated himself with the Golden Emperor Flame, which prevented him from feeling the cold energy.

"Alright, let's find that flame. It's time for me to recreate the Lotus Flame," Zhao Ling muttered with a smile. Yes, the Lotus Flame he was referring to was the ultimate technique he created, which was to combine more than one type of flame and create a terrifying Lotus Flame, and it was this technique that made his name so well known in the Central Continent.

Back to Zhao Ling, he was already in a cave that emitted a large amount of cold aura.

"What a terrifying cold energy. It's a good thing that the Golden Emperor Flame is one of the strongest flames. Otherwise, I doubt I could conquer this flame, even if I had the Sacred Flame from back then," Zhao Ling muttered. He then increased the intensity of his Golden Flame to envelop his entire body. After not feeling the cold energy anymore, Zhao Ling immediately entered the cave slowly.

Who knows how much time he had spent exploring the cave until he reached the end of it, and he saw a flame in the shape of a lotus, which had a snow-white color.

"Hmm, finally, I found this flame. I will start to conquer it. This flame is different from other flames, so I will need a long time to refine it. Hehehe, but no matter. With this flame, at least my realm will soar, especially with the Snow Lotus Seed, it's a seventh-level herbal ingredient," Zhao Ling muttered, looking down at the flame. There was a lotus-shaped bulge, and there were many pearl-shaped seeds in the flower. The flower was the birthplace of the Heavenly Flame, while the seeds were deposits of Heavenly Flame energy that had been around for a very long time. Therefore, the Snow Lotus Seeds were extremely rare.
