Chapter 226: Fruition

The flaming human figure flew across the skyline and suddenly paused in midair a moment later. The thick white flame on his body also gradually disappeared. Once the flame completely vanished, the delicate and handsome face of a young man was revealed.

The young man’s black eyes blinked gently as he tilted his head back. The vicissitude in his eyes swiftly withdrew and a cunningness and vitality of a young man replaced it.

“Teacher, just now… what happened?” Xiao Yan gently twisted his neck, pressed his eyebrows together and softly asked. His inquiry was naturally about why Yao Lao’s sure attack from before was suddenly shattered.

“It’s the doing of that thing in your sleeves…” Yao Lao helplessly answered, “Was it not for the ‘Bone Chilling Flame’ isolating its Qi, I’m afraid that Yun Zhi and the Snake-People would have sensed that this Qi was Queen Medusa’s…”

“It’s her?” Hearing this, Xiao Yan stilled for a moment. His palm extended into his sleeves and carefully pulled out the Seven-Colored small snake, whose entire body was warm like jade. He placed her on his palm and stared intently.

Sensing Xiao Yan’s focus, the Seven-Colored small snake also raised her small head up high. She blinked her pale purple-colored eyes which were filled with spirituality. Opening her snake mouth, she gently extended her snake tongue seemingly intending to lick Xiao Yan’s face.

Tilting his head slightly to avoid this small creature’s naughty act, Xiao Yan smiled and immediately asked in a soft but somewhat serious voice, “Teacher… do you think that she has already regained Queen Medusa’s memories?”

“I don’t think so… If she had regained her memories, Queen Medusa would not stay by your side given her haughty and rude character… I think, perhaps it was because I intended to kill the five Dou Wangs of the Snake-People just now that caused Queen Medusa to temporary break through the bound of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Looking at the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python’s current manner, I think that Queen Medusa’s spirit was once again suppressed.” Yao Lao voiced his thoughts.

Xiao Yan let out a gentle sigh. His palm gently rubbed the Heaven Swallowing Python’s head and he bitterly smiled as he muttered, “This little thing is really a time bomb. It is difficult to say when Queen Medusa will once again emerge from it…”

“Back then, I have already told you this, but you still insist on keeping her by your side.” Yao Lao gloatingly laughed.

Xiao Yan rubbed his head and stared at the cute Heaven Swallowing Python before helplessly saying, “Blame it on the extremely large attraction this little creature has… I hope that it will be able to continue suppressing Queen Medusa’s spirit.”

Taking out a bottle of Amethyst Winged Lion Birth Essence from the storage ring, Xiao Yan dropped a few drops of it into the Heaven Swallowing Python. The little creature then extended its snake tongue in satisfaction before it lazily entered into Xiao Yan’s sleeves.

After appeasing the Heaven Swallowing Python, Xiao Yan’s gaze swept across the desert under him and gradually descended from some distance on a particular spot. He lowered his head and stared at the yellow sand under his feet as he said softly, “This should be the place.”

Xiao Yan’s palm slowly opened, aimed at the sand dune and was slightly quiet. An enormous suction force suddenly surged from his palm. Under the suction force, the yellow sand in the area under him suddenly swarmed up toward the sky.

As the yellow sand was removed, a pitch black hole that was a few meters deep suddenly appeared under him. A green-colored lotus seat which was emitting a faint glow was suspended within the hole.

Seeing that the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ was completely safe, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief. His hand beckoned and the green lotus immediately changed into a green light that shot toward Xiao Yan’s palm.

Xiao Yan carried the Green Lotus Seat in his hand and observed the continuously soaring tiny green-colored flame with a gaze that was somewhat intoxicated with a heated glow.

“Let’s go to the outer part of the desert. That place should be a little safer. After which, find a quiet place and swallow the ‘Heavenly Flame’!” Appearing to understand the desire for the ‘Heavenly Flame’ in Xiao Yan’s heart, Yao Lao immediately suggested.

“Ok!” Xiao Yan nodded his head seriously. He took an ‘Energy Recovery Pill’ out from the storage ring and threw it into his mouth. With a chewing motion, he swallowed it into his body. He then carried the Green Lotus Seat and began to fly crazily toward the outer regions of the desert.

As Xiao Yan’s body disappeared within the yellow sand filled sky, the soul-stirring fight for the ‘Heavenly Flame’ within the Tager Desert finally came to a close with someone obtaining a complete victory.

After flying for nearly half a day and consuming thirteen ‘Energy Recovery Pills’ along the way, Xiao Yan finally and gradually arrived at the outer regions of the Tager Desert. The direction that Xiao Yan was currently headed for was toward a region on the map which was the most sparsely populated since he needed a place that was extremely isolated.

When the hot sun in the sky gradually set and completely fell below the horizon, there was finally some withered grass that appeared in the monotonous yellow sand. He flew for some time more and a fresh green color once again appeared in his sight. In the distant horizon, the small peak of a majestic mountain began to gradually appear.
