After Tang Siqi finished giving some more instructions to Lin Qiuyue and the others, she let them leave.
"Master, are you really not considering letting Qiuyue serve you?" Tang Siqi asked softly.
Jiang Li shook his head, gently embraced Tang Siqi, and savored her delicate fragrance.
"We'll talk about that later. You first deal with your matters, I'm going out!" Jiang Li continued.
"Master, do you want me to accompany you?" Tang Siqi's eyes were filled with reluctance.
Jiang Li pursed his lips and stroked Tang Siqi's hair, "You should focus on breaking through. Breaking through to the Spirit River realm is your most important task right now!"
Tang Siqi's eyes became as lustrous as silk, and she gave Jiang Li a deep look. She naturally understood what Jiang Li meant.
"Also, in our Demonic Sect, there are people named Lin Dong and Su Ming. Find someone to keep an eye on them and see what they've been up to recently!" Jiang Li added.
Jiang Li had originally intended to deal with Lin Dong as soon as he returned, but the Heavenly Flame was too important.
He had to obtain it as quickly as possible. As for Lin Dong, as long as his own strength improved, it would be easy to subdue him.
Tang Siqi nodded, memorizing everything Jiang Li had instructed.
After finishing his instructions, Jiang Li also left Sacred Maiden Peak.
Now it was time to find that Heavenly Flame. If he could refine it, his strength should improve by a considerable margin, Jiang Li mused.
...
Jiang Li headed towards the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Along the way, he collected any fortunate encounters he came across.
Although these minor opportunities could have been delegated to Tang Siqi,
the system was Jiang Li's foundation. He did not want even the slightest possibility of it being discovered,
even though Tang Siqi was already controlled by the 【Soul Control Technique】.
Jiang Li still did not trust her. He felt that the only one he could fully trust was himself.
By now, the news of Saint Son Li Xinyuan being defeated by Tang Siqi had spread throughout the entire Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Many people were even openly discussing who would be the new Saint Son.
Despite being from the lower echelons of the Demonic Sect, they were arguing more fiercely than the candidates themselves.
Jiang Li ignored the murmurs, silently collecting opportunities.
...
Half an hour later, Jiang Li had finally finished collecting all the opportunities along the way.
Then, he arrived at the edge of the cliff in the Monster Beast Mountain Range where the Heavenly Flame was hidden.
Around this cliff, a bloody aura permeated the air.
A cold wind constantly blew up from below the cliff.
The cold wind brushed against Jiang Li, his clothes fluttering in the breeze.
After confirming that there were no issues, Jiang Li slowly began to descend.
This cliff was several thousand zhang high.
That guy's skin must be too tough, to fall from such a height and still be fine, Jiang Li muttered as he carefully climbed down.
Jiang Li thought of Su Ming, truly worthy of the Undying Divine Body. Not only did he survive a fall from a cliff thousands of zhang high, but he also managed to find the Heavenly Flame. He was indeed powerful.
Fortunately, there were many rock protrusions around, making it convenient for Jiang Li to climb.
Coupled with the spiritual armor he was wearing, the fierce cold winds could not cause him too much harm.
It took Jiang Li a full half an hour to reach the bottom of the cliff.
...
The moment he stepped onto the cliff bottom, Jiang Li felt an extremely piercing cold wind all around him.
The cold wind almost penetrated his spiritual armor and reached his very core.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, and the Demonic Flame True Fire slowly emerged, enveloping his entire body.
With the protection of the Demonic Flame True Fire, Jiang Li felt no discomfort whatsoever.
Apart from the raging hurricane, the surroundings were desolate, with only sparse vegetation in the distance.
Jiang Li walked towards the wind gap.
There were no caves or shelters around, indicating that the Heavenly Flame was located at the wind gap.
"Rustle, rustle!"
As Jiang Li walked forward, a rustling sound echoed around him.
It sounded like something was crawling nearby.
Jiang Li held his breath and carefully sensed his surroundings.
"Rustle, rustle!"
The rustling sounds grew more urgent. With a wave of his right hand, the Crimson Flame Dragon Soul Spear appeared.
The moment the Crimson Flame Dragon Soul Spear appeared, a vortex of surging spiritual energy instantly formed.
The scorching heatwaves made the cold air a bit warmer.
At this moment, a group of giant lizards with sturdy hides and sharp teeth charged towards Jiang Li.
Sandstorm Giant Lizards!
Sandstorm Giant Lizards were relatively rare third-tier ferocious beasts, with tough hides and powerful attacks.
Their hides could withstand damage from all directions.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed, and then his spear moved like a dragon.
The Crimson Flame Dragon Soul Spear, emitting a golden glow, swept directly towards the Sandstorm Giant Lizards.
Although Jiang Li could not fully unleash the power of the Heavenly-grade spiritual treasure, the Crimson Flame Dragon Soul Spear was inherently indestructible.
The 【God Slaughtering Spear Technique】 further amplified Jiang Li's strength.
The surrounding Sandstorm Giant Lizards let out pained roars under Jiang Li's ferocious assault.
Before long, blood and torn flesh scattered everywhere.
The smell of blood instantly permeated the entire area.
Within a few rounds, all the Sandstorm Giant Lizards were eliminated by Jiang Li.
After eliminating the giant lizards, Jiang Li continued towards the wind gap.
...
The closer he got to the wind gap, the more Jiang Li felt the ferocity of the wind intensify.
The howling wind made it almost impossible for Jiang Li to open his eyes.
After a quarter of an hour of difficult progress, Jiang Li finally approached the wind gap.
There, a Heavenly Flame emitting white flames was blooming with an incomparably brilliant luster not far away.
Mystic Wind Spirit Flame!
Jiang Li's eyes lit up. It was actually the Mystic Wind Spirit Flame.
The Mystic Wind Spirit Flame was a Heavenly Flame containing powerful wind attributes, possessing the momentum of wind, forest, fire, and mountain.
It could even form hurricane-like flames, with astonishing speed and immense destructive power.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart.
He then slowly approached, walking towards the Mystic Wind Spirit Flame.
With the experience of refining his first Heavenly Flame, Jiang Li was now quite familiar with the process.
The 【Fire Fusion Scripture】 slowly circulated, and the fire source within his body began to absorb the surrounding Mystic Wind Spirit Flame.
Jiang Li felt a mixture of pain and pleasure as he absorbed the essence of the Mystic Wind Spirit Flame.
...
Eastern Wilderness.
Qingyang Sect.
Gardens were in full bloom everywhere.
In the gardens, numerous flowers vied for beauty, and nearby spiritual herbs exuded rich spiritual energy.
A beautiful maiden in a blue dress, with delicate features, propped her chin on her hand, gazing dazedly at the sea of flowers.
"Jiang Li, what are you doing? That demonic woman must be seducing you again!" The maiden seemed to recall something, her heart burning with anger.
Yet, her longing for Jiang Li only grew.
"Junior Sister, why are you playing here again? You haven't been out since you returned!" As Li Qin stood lost in thought amidst the flowers, a voice sounded from behind her.
