"The Divine Fire Ring has all the secrets in it . " The man who had called himself the Flame Emperor said, "Only one person can really get the inheritance of the Flame Emperor . The other qualified ones will all die . " Then the flame, including the figure, went back into the ring instantly .
"Can you explain it more clearly?" Jiang Chen was very confused . He patted the ring, but nothing happened . The ring, which seemed to have grown out of his flesh a minute ago, could now be taken off easily .
He put the ring back on his finger after some hesitation .
"So, Flame Emperor?"
Although he didn't know too much about it yet, he naturally imagined that it would be an interesting title to have . The emperor title suggested he wouldn't be an average man . He should be even stronger than Grand Venerables because Grand Venerables were quite fragile in comparison with emperors .
In addition, thanks to Jiang Chen's divine body, the odds were in his favor . He would probably become the Flame Emperor . He opened the Flame Emperor's method and martial arts techniques books to read . Soon he was immersed in them . He read and read and even forgot to eat or sleep . He didn't put the books down until several days later .
He had read like this in his previous life too . And, thanks to his photographic memory, he could easily memorize so many things .
"Something doesn't seem right . " During these days, Jiang Chen was sometimes enlightened and sometimes puzzled . Sometimes, he was lost in deep thoughts . In the end, he was pretty bothered .
The method was called Fire God Scripture . The martial arts technique was called Divine Fire Formula . They were both magnificent method and martial arts techniques, but Jiang Chen couldn't get rid of the feeling that there was something wrong .
Then he thought back to the design of the back room . It seemed to him that the Flame Emperor really liked to test people . An idea suddenly occurred to him . He piled up the two books together . An evil flame rose from his palms . Made of ordinary paper, the two books were burned to ashes as soon as the evil flame started to burn .

However, Jiang Chen didn't feel frustrated . His tightly knitted brows finally became smooth again . He felt a pleasure, as if he had solved a puzzle .
The method and the martial arts technique shouldn't be practiced separately . Otherwise neither of the two's values could be shown . However, it was possible to practice them separately . The practice of one of them wouldn't affect the practice of the other . It was impossible to find this out without sharp eyes . Practitioners usually wouldn't find anything wrong until the crucial moment came at the end . By then, much time would have been wasted .
Jiang Chen found out on the first day that the method and the martial arts techniques were not good enough to be the inheritance of the Flame Emperor . After burning the two books, a completely new book emerged in Jiang Chen's head . The content was similar, but it was more skilled and more mysterious .
The book's name was a combination of the previous two books' names . It was called Divine Fire Scripture . Jiang Chen smiled happily as he started to read again . Divine Fire Scripture could be used with the Sky-burning Evil Flame . This would level up his fighting power .
"Even if I don't use the Wind and Fire Swords Wheel, average Celestial Venerables won't be a match for me now . "
Jiang Chen stood up . His eyes were full of passion . He looked firm and resolute . He was only one step away from Celestial Venerable . Then, he would astound the whole world in the Title Battle .
The Eight Divinities Territory belongs to the Jiangs . I can't stay here for too long . I should go to the Cliff Mountain first .
Venerable Fengyu helped him before . It would be inappropriate if Jiang Chen did not stop at the Cliff Mountain to pay Venerable Fengyu a visit on his way to take part in the Title Battle .
Cliff Mountain was located in Jing Prefecture, one of the ten prefectures . According to the situation of the Three Middle Realms, this place couldn't compare with any places in the Nine Territories . Bluntly speaking, it was quite backward .

Jiang Chen worried he would bring the trouble of the Jiangs there, so he removed his disguise .
Jiang Chen was driving an airship in the Desolate Forbidden Land, guided by the Itinerary Stone the Elixir Association had given him . The Elixir Association's Itinerary Stone had a powerful function . No matter where you started your journey, as long as you had a specific destination, you would be able to travel through the Desolate Forbidden Land at will . This proved in some way how powerful the Elixir Association was . However, even in the Elixir Association, only Heaven Alchemists could own such Itinerary Stones .
A few days after his departure from the Eight Divinities Territory, Jiang Chen arrived in Jing Prefecture .
"Oh, my?" He was shocked by the first view that unfolded before him as soon as he left the Desolate Forbidden Land . If the Desolate Forbidden Land could be compared to a sea, there were numerous airships traveling to and fro along the coastline .
Jiang Chen looked around . He saw all kinds of airships of different sizes . As far as he could see, there were endless buildings on hills, plains, and mountains . Precisely speaking, what he saw was a giant mountain city . Most airships came from the city . They flew into the Desolate Forbidden Land in haste .
At first, Jiang Chen thought that what he was seeing was because of war, but the people looked quite calm . He flew toward the mountain city . Some soldiers appeared to stop him as soon as his airship landed . "Unregistered spiritual airships should land outside of the city . "
All of these soldiers were in the Reaching Heaven State, but they didn't show any fear at all when facing a Venerable . They sounded quite firm, as if they didn't allow any questions to be asked . Needless to say, they must have some strong people's support .
Jiang Chen packed up his airship and then went into the city . An hour later, he came to understand why this place was so bustling . He had underestimated Jing Prefecture . Thanks to its terrain and rich resources, Jing Prefecture was the heart of the Ten Prefectures . It was as flourishing as any of the territories of the Nine Territories .
It was possible to travel to five prefectures and four territories from the mountain city where Jiang Chen was . Since the puzzle was solved, Jiang Chen didn't want to stay here any longer . After learning the location of Cliff Mountain, he was going to set off .
"Young master . " A silvery voice came from behind him when he was leaving .

Jiang Chen turned and saw a young girl in azure looking at him, smiling .
Jiang Chen looked around to make sure it was him who she had called . Then he said confusedly, "What's up?"
"Young master, you are going to Cliff Mountain, aren't you? I heard you ask the way . "
"Yes . "
"Well, here is the thing . I am running a business with a few friends . We came here to replenish our stock, but we need more escorts on the way back . Young master, do you want to work for us? I promise you will be happy with the pay," the woman in azure said .
"But why?" Jiang Chen said .
"Sorry?" The woman didn't understand what his question meant . She was a little bit astounded .
"Why do you want me to be your escort?" Jiang Chen said .
"Because young master you are alone, and we are going the same way . You seem the perfect person for us . "
"Aren't you afraid that I could be a bad person and steal what I escort?" Jiang Chen wondered why these businessmen were looking for strangers on the street to be their escorts .
"Sorry for the disturbance . "
Seeing him on guard, the woman knew it would be useless even if she tried to talk him into it, so she apologized to him and then turned to leave .
Squinting, Jiang Chen intuited that she had something that she couldn't speak about . However, . . . it had nothing to do with him .
When Jiang Chen was leaving, he saw the azure-clad woman walk up to another young Martial Venerable with the same smile . She made the same offer to him politely .
"Ha, ha, ha, miss, as a businessman, you can't even afford to hire an escort . As pretty as you are, why do you have to live such a difficult life? Why don't you stay with me? I promise your life will be easier than doing business . "
That young Spiritual Venerable's eyes lit up as soon as he saw the woman . He said whatever came to his mind .
"Sorry for the disturbance . "
A look of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she covered it well .
"Don't go . If you know you disturbed me, aren't you quite impolite to walk away like this?" The young Venerable didn't let her go easily . He stopped her .
No passers-by on the street tried to intervene . They just stayed there watching, waiting for a good show .
