“This is… the Immortal Holy Mountain…”
Wu Ming and the other two gazed at the towering peak not far away, stretching across the horizon and piercing the clouds, their faces showing a trace of astonishment.
Around this volcano, the concentration of fire elements had reached an extreme peak. The air was filled with pale red smoke, saturated with a scorching heat, each breath feeling like swallowing flames.
It wasn’t just ordinary people; even a typical Spirit Tamer coming here would likely be unable to survive.
Surrounding the vast and boundless Immortal Holy Mountain, numerous fire-type spirits were everywhere, with faint traces of royal auras lurking. The sky was filled with flamingos, their wings shimmering and leaving golden flame tassels in the air.
“Chirp chirp!”
Suddenly, a distant and urgent cry echoed. A large flock of flamingos took flight from the Holy Mountain, heading unmistakably toward the other side of the mountain.
“Hmm? It seems something has appeared on the other side, drawing the flamingos’ attention…”
Donghai Wang and Nihuan Wang, both masters of human nature, saw this scene and spoke in unison: “It must be royal Spirit Tamers, and not just one!”
“It seems we’ve got competitors!”
Wu Ming smiled slightly. Although they hadn’t officially met yet, he was already certain in his heart that the other party must be Jun Xuanming, Xingming Wang, and Lüshe Wang without a doubt. He immediately laughed and said: “It seems Jun Xuanming has also arrived here!”
“Little Jun, heh!”
Nihuan Wang sneered, looking at Chiyan Elf King behind him, whose eyes were also filled with anger.
Thanks to the “nourishment” along the way, Chiyan Elf King’s injuries had mostly healed, and he was now eager for revenge.
“Actually…”
Donghai Wang wore a hesitant expression: “If we don’t interfere with each other, we could join forces and divide the Eight Tribes. As for our grudges? We can settle them after we leave!”
He had no direct stake in either side and wanted to play the role of a mediator.
After all, with six royal Spirit Tamers working together, they could even challenge the royal spirits of the Eight Tribes on the Immortal Holy Mountain.
“Give it up? Do you really think I would trust my back to Jun Xuanming?”
Wu Ming sneered coldly.
“That’s right, I also have an irreconcilable feud with that little Jun. There’s absolutely no way we would join forces!”
Nihuan Wang spoke loudly, leaving Donghai Wang with no choice but to sigh helplessly.
Since both royal spirits in their group held such views, he naturally couldn’t insist further.
…
“Donghai Wang and Nihuan Wang have also arrived at the Immortal Holy Mountain!”
On the other side, Xingming Wang muttered while holding his crystal ball.
“Heh… Donghai Wang? Hiss…”
Lüshe Wang’s amber vertical pupils narrowed, a cold smile appearing on his face as he licked his lips, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue: “What a nostalgic name…”
“Nihuan Wang is nothing but a defeated foe! Where exactly is the Flame Emperor?”
Jun Xuanming waved his hand, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Azure Dragon suddenly disintegrated into fine vines, wrapping around his body to form an excellent defense: “Without obtaining a divine spirit, I will never have the confidence to face Dongfang Shuo!”
After being repeatedly defeated by Wu Ming, he had finally become smarter.
“The seal of the Flame Emperor is about to be broken… The arrival of the chosen one will accelerate this process. As for his location…”
Xingming Wang’s voice was hoarse as the images in his crystal ball flickered, suddenly revealing a scene—the crater of the Immortal Holy Mountain!
“Chosen one… you must remember, you must subdue the divine spirit. Otherwise, once the Flame Emperor fully awakens, it will become a nightmare for the entire Flame Continent!”
Xingming Wang repeatedly warned.
“Hiss… Trouble, the entrance is actually on the Holy Mountain!”
Lüshe Wang hissed: “On the way there, we will pass through numerous fire-element tribes, each guarded by royal spirits. We have no confidence in directly storming through…”
“Compared to the most formidable flamingo clan, this is already the best option…”
Xingming Wang looked at Jun Xuanming: “Before meeting the divine spirit, I will help you subdue as many royal spirits as possible to enhance your strength! Ordinary royal Spirit Tamers naturally cannot forcibly subdue royal spirits, but I have a secret method to increase the contract success rate. As the chosen one of the Flame Continent, you have an incomparable advantage over other royal Spirit Tamers!”
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuanming’s eyes flashed with a glint of brilliance.
…
“I’ve already scouted. The opposing side is the Fire Elf Tribe, numbering over fifty thousand, led by the Royal-level Blazing Flame King!”
With a flash of light, Wu Ming’s figure suddenly appeared.
Thanks to Wang Langying, there’s actually such a technique!
Both Donghai Wang and Nihuan Wang were delighted, then hesitated slightly: “Blazing Flame King? This is also a golden race not inferior to Chiyan Elf King! Extremely powerful!”
“And… in the core of that tribe, I also saw a young Blazing Flame King, guarded by over a dozen Flame Lords!”
Wu Ming smiled slightly and revealed another piece of information.
“What? A young one?”
The other two royal Spirit Tamers’ breathing immediately became heavy.
If subduing a royal spirit had a success rate of only one in a thousand or one in ten thousand, then capturing a young one was practically guaranteed.
Such a great opportunity to enhance their strength naturally wouldn’t be missed.
At the same time, their gazes toward Wu Ming carried a trace of awe: “Such golden race younglings are always heavily protected. It’s amazing that Langying Wang could discover it…”
Wu Ming smiled without answering.
With the ability of the Divine Ghost Star, he even had a few chances to directly steal the youngling.
Unfortunately, raising the youngling would take too much time, making it not worth the effort. Speaking of which, he was actually more interested in the royal-level Blazing Flame King.
At this thought, he felt somewhat disappointed, thinking about another spirit.
“The potential of Lava Tyrant has been exhausted. It’s really a pity…”
In recent days, he had summoned the Lava Tyrant daily, gaining many benefits by following Chiyan Elf King.
However, apart from a slight enhancement in aura, the Lava Tyrant showed no sign of evolution, unlike the Dahuang Blue Wolf and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird.
These two not only had complete evolution paths but had also reached the brink of advancement after three years of cultivation, otherwise they wouldn’t have easily ascended to the Golden King.
But the Lava Tyrant was different!
Although it wasn’t completely insensitive to the world’s power like the Divine Ghost Star, improving it was still very troublesome.
According to Wu Ming’s estimate, if the world essence invested in the Dahuang Blue Wolf and the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird was considered as one unit, then the Lava Tyrant would need at least thirty units to evolve into a Golden Race!
Obviously, such an investment was disproportionate, making Wu Ming quite hesitant.
“This might… be a matter of true potential…”
Even Jia Kongming couldn’t elevate every spirit to the Golden Race. The Lava Tyrant was clearly one of those whose potential only reached the Silver Race.
In that case, Wu Ming naturally considered replacing it.
After all, there were so many fire spirits on the Immortal Holy Mountain, with dozens of royal spirits to choose from, all superior to the Lava Tyrant.
As for the issue of soul damage caused by abandoning a contract?
Wu Ming wasn’t too worried about it even at the King level, let alone now.
After all, the world’s power was the best substance for enhancing the soul’s origin!
Beside him, Donghai Wang and Nihuan Wang were already gleaming with excitement, considering how to obtain the youngling.
“Nihuan Wang, your Chiyan Elf King is also a fire-type royal spirit. I have a secret method that can conceal its aura and let it pretend to be a wild spirit to challenge the Blazing Flame King. How about that?”
Donghai Wang said: “As long as it’s a royal succession battle among fire elves, it will certainly not provoke other tribal kings…”
“This… no problem!”
Nihuan Wang gritted his teeth and agreed immediately.
“Excellent!”
Seeing that the most dangerous task had been taken, Donghai Wang’s face lit up: “While the Blazing Flame King is occupied, I can use my techniques to open a path through this giant tribe and also restrain other King-level spirits. Langying Wang! The rest will be up to you!”
“Agreed!”
Wu Ming lowered his eyelids and nodded.
“Then, how should we distribute the spoils? According to Langying Wang’s words, there’s only one youngling!”
After the plan was set, Nihuan Wang suddenly spoke, revealing his true intentions.
“This…”
Donghai Wang hesitated. Nihuan Wang had taken on the most dangerous task, so logically, the choice should naturally be given priority to him.
“How about this, give me the golden youngling, and I swear to continue helping the two of you obtain spirits, or perhaps exchange it for other compensation?”
“I have no objection!”
Wu Ming smiled slightly: “The youngling can be yours, but when subduing the Blazing Flame King, I want to try first!”
“This naturally isn’t a problem!”
Upon hearing that Wu Ming, who was most likely to object, had actually agreed first, Nihuan Wang felt greatly relieved and eagerly promised, secretly laughing at Wu Ming’s ignorance, thinking he was naive enough to try to subdue a wild royal spirit directly.
Didn’t he realize that if such a thing could really succeed, how could it possibly be his turn?
“Since Langying Wang also says so, I naturally have no objections either…”
Donghai Wang and Nihuan Wang were old acquaintances. After a few whispered words with Nihuan Wang, he also said with a bitter smile.
“Excellent! Time waits for no one. Let’s act now!”
Since learning that Jun Xuanming had also come to the Immortal Holy Mountain, Nihuan Wang had shown a sense of urgency. After the discussion, he couldn’t wait to speak.
…
Inside the giant fire elf tribe.
This place was a vast open-air lava lake, with dark red and golden magma constantly flowing. Inside were numerous joyful fire element elders and Flame Lords bathing.
Around the lake, large patches of fire magnolias were everywhere, each containing a cluster of crimson glowing orbs fluttering about. These were the lowest-level fire elves. Once their energy was sufficiently accumulated, they had a certain chance of evolving to a higher level.
