No one could avoid this war, and neither would they want to .
Within just one year, various Dao Masters from different clans in the Green Fire World arrived at Green Fire Palace one after another .
“So many people!”
Floating above Green Fire Palace, Jian Wushuang was shocked when he looked down at the scene inside the palace .
Within the perception range of his Soul, he sensed that there were over 10,000Dao Masters here and even more were on their way .
There were also over 100 Celestial Masters here .
Nearly all the powerful forces within the Green Fire World had gathered here .
“There are so many of them now, but how many would survive the war?” Jian Wushuang asked .
“Humph . It’d be fortunate if 10 percent of them even survived the war . If we lose, the whole Green Fire World will be destroyed and everyone here is doomed to die . The lucky survivors will have to go to Eternal Chaotic World,” Gu King replied .
“It’s dangerous there with countless bandits running rampant . If they wander around, it would be hard for even one out of 10 Dao Masters to survive . I estimate that only Celestial Masters would be lucky enough to survive . ”
Jian Wushuang’s expression became sober . He clenched his fists and said, “Either way, we cannot lose the war!”
Just then, he spotted several familiar faces in the open space of Green Fire Palace . He immediately flew toward them .
Soon, he landed among the crowd .
“Uncle Xiao and Emperor Yun . ”
He looked at the two men in front of him .
“Jian Wushuang . ” Emperor Xiao looked at him with a smile .
“Brother Wang Yuan, Second Brother, and Fourth Sister are here too!” Jian Wushuang’s eyes shone with joy when he saw Wang Yuan, Yang Zaixuan, and Su Rou .
“Third Brother!” They greeted Jian Wushuang .
“We’ve gatheredonce again . ” Jian Wushuang was once again reunited with his three siblings .
This was their first time gathering since Su Rou’s departure in the Ancient World .
Jian Wushuang, Wang Yuan, and Yang Zaixuan met often but Jian Wushuang was the only one to have met Su Rou as she was in the Samsara Continent .
Now that all the experts in the Green Fire World were here, there was no separation between continents and clans . Naturally, they were able to reunite .
“Brother Wang Yuan, why have you come for the war?” Jian Wushuang asked in confusion .
Only experts over the Dao Master level were qualified to participate in the war .
Yang Zaixuan had improved by leaps and bounds to become a Dao Master’s level in a short period of time . Furthermore, thanks to his powerful bloodline, his strength was close to rival Emperor Xiao’s .
Su Rou, Asura Lord of the Blood Asura Clan, was a formidable opponent . In addition, thanks to her Asura Eye, she commanded control over many experts . She was easily one of the main forces of Green Fire Palace .
Jian Wushuang sensed that Wang Yuan was still in the Eternal Realm, perhaps in the weak first or the second level .
Unfortunately, Eternal Realm experts could bring nothing to the table in this war .
Wang Yuan forced a smile . “I didn’t want to, but my master forced me to come here . ”
“Your master?” Jian Wushuang was dumbfounded .
Just then, a weathered elder dressed in a grey frock walked toward them at a leisurely pace . He humbly greeted them . “Nice to meet you, Palace Master Wushuang!”
Jian Wushuang raised an eyebrow . “Alchemy Master . ”
This was Alchemy Master Huo Qiong, Wang Yuan’s master . He was also acknowledged as the top alchemist in the Ancient World .
“Palace Master Wushuang, please call me Huo Qiong . I can’t bear the title of Alchemy Master in Green Fire Palace,” Huo Qiong said .
Jian Wushuang blinked and stifled a laugh .
Huo Qiong was renowned as the top alchemist of the Green Fire World but that was as far as his fame extended . There were countless monsters who had lived such long lives in Green Fire Palace . They had all made impressive contributions in refining elixirs, making formations, and forging weapons .
In elixir refinement alone, there were at least five who were more proficient than Huo Qiong .
Huo Qiong was well aware of this fact himself and thus requested to be addressed by name .
“Senior Huo Qiong, Wang Yuan is still in the Eternal Realm . Why did you send him here?” Jian Wushuang asked in astonishment .
“To be honest, I told him to come here not for the war but Dan Xin Palace!” Huo Qiong said .
“Dan Xin Palace?” Jian Wushuang was stunned .
Dan Xin Palace was the palace born on the battlefield, the one that triggered a ferocious war between Green Fire Palace and the Jin Kingdom .
Huo Qiong was also involved in the birth of Dan Xin Palace .
But no matter how hard everyone struggled, no one could claim Dan Xin Palace . The battle was fought in vain .
In the past few years, both Green Fire Palace and the Jin Kingdom had sent experts with outstanding achievements in elixir refinement to try but no one succeeded .
Just like that, Dan Xin Palace stood in silence on that battlefield .
“Senior Huo Qiong, are you planning to take the test of Dan Xin Palace yourself or send Brother Wang Yuan there?” Jian Wushuang asked .
“There were many stronger alchemists who had failed . I myself know I’m not strong enough for it, but my disciple might be able to do it,” Huo Qiong said .
“Brother Wang Yuan?” Jian Wushuang was even more puzzled .
How could Wang Yuan succeed when Huo Qiong and the other Celestial Masters who were good at refining elixirs had failed?
Jian Wushuang was truly skeptical .
“Jian Wushuang, let him have a go at it . Maybe there’s an opportunity waiting for him,” Gu King said .
Jian Wushuang was even more surprised . “Gu King, do you also think that Wang Yuan will pass the test of Dan Xin Palace?”
“I don’t know about others but I think that little fatty might stand a chance,” Gu King joked . “This little fatty is pretty interesting, isn’t he?”
“Interesting?” Jian Wushuang was confused .
Gu King snickered . “He refined himself into an elixir . Isn’t he interesting?”
“What? He refined himself into an elixir?” Jian Wushuang was aghast . “What do you mean?”
His face became somber .
Wang Yuan was his brother and one of few that he cared deeply about .
Gu King continued to laugh . “Take it easy . The little fatty will be fine . ”
