As for subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flame, everyone knew that it was basically impossible. After all, this Heavenly Flame ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. To successfully absorb it, the time required definitely wouldn't be short.
From the moment Lin Feng and the others entered the Star Region until now, not even a full day had passed. With such a short amount of time, unless one was a Dou Sheng, there was simply no way to successfully absorb the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"Hiss!"
In the distance, when they saw the purple-black sea of fire receding, Grand Elder Qiu Ling and Old Qing Hua hurried back.
Seeing the scene before them, both couldn't help but suck in a breath of the residual heat left behind from the burning fire sea. The Three Thousand Burning Flame had been discovered by the Pill Tower decades ago within the void.
After many experts joined forces to seal it, the Pill Tower sent a large number of powerhouses inside, hoping to subdue it. It could be said that within the entire Pill Tower, aside from the Grand Elder of the Small Pill Tower…
Almost all the elders had entered this Star Region to try to subdue it. But without exception, every one of them failed. Yet Lin Feng, using only the strength of a One-Star Dou Zun…actually succeeded in controlling this Heavenly Flame ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!
As for Dan Chen, upon seeing Lin Feng safe and sound, the fear that had been weighing on her heart finally loosened. She lightly patted the soft fullness on her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Cao Ying also relaxed greatly when she saw that Lin Feng seemed unharmed, the worry on her pretty face fading considerably.
However, compared to the two women who were relieved, Xuan Kongzi's brows furrowed tightly, and his heart abruptly sank. When the Three Thousand Burning Flame exploded earlier, its power had been troublesome even for them.
He had thought that Lin Feng, being at the center of that explosion, would surely be heavily injured if not dead. But unexpectedly, not only was this guy perfectly fine, he even succeeded in subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"How in the world did this kid subdue that Heavenly Flame?"
At this thought, deep confusion surfaced on Xuan Kongzi's face.
After all, even they had been unable to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame. By common sense, Lin Feng—who was far inferior to them in every aspect—should have been even less likely to succeed.
Just as everyone was feeling shocked that Lin Feng had managed to control the Three Thousand Burning Flame, the latter suddenly opened his eyes. As his eyes opened, a tiny purple-black fire dragon flashed across his pitch-black pupils.
"Swish!"
The next moment, Lin Feng's figure shot through the air and landed in front of the group.
Seeing Lin Feng appear, Xiao Yixian stepped forward with her long, slender legs. Her graceful body instantly crossed the space and arrived at his side. Seeing her husband truly unharmed this time, she quietly let out a breath of relief.
Even though she knew that with Lin Feng's abilities, losing was unlikely…the fact that her man was clashing souls with a Heavenly Flame still made it impossible for her not to worry.
"Lin Feng, did you actually subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame?!"
Upon seeing him, Cao Ying immediately walked forward, her fiery-red eyes curiously sizing him up from head to toe. Hearing her question, Lin Feng shook his head.
"It wasn't that easy. I just used a certain method to temporarily control it."
"Was it that golden light on your palm earlier?"
Recalling the dazzling golden glow that appeared on Lin Feng's hand when he approached the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Cao Ying asked curiously.
From their conversation, Xuan Kongzi and the two old men realized Lin Feng had used some sort of method to control the flame. Their expressions immediately shifted, and they waited eagerly for Lin Feng's explanation.
After all, by the time they entered the Star Region, Lin Feng's fight with the Three Thousand Burning Flame had already reached its final stage. Earlier, when Cao Ying and Dan Chen called for them, the situation had been urgent, so they hadn't had time to explain anything.
Therefore, the three of them naturally had no idea about this matter.
Grand Elder Qiu Ling and Old Qing Hua, who had witnessed that golden light earlier, quickly gathered around as well. After all, they were just as curious about this.
"Yes, the golden light you saw was released by the Dragon Seal."
Since Cao Ying was asking out of curiosity, Lin Feng didn't hide anything and directly explained.
"Dragon Seal?"
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Cao Ying's delicate brows knitted together as she murmured softly.
She searched through her memories, and suddenly recalled that Lin Feng seemed to have a pretty good relationship with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. Just from the name "Dragon Seal," one could tell it might have something to do with dragon-type magical beasts.
So she continued asking, "Could it be something related to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan?"
When the others heard that this thing was connected to such an ancient race, their brows all tightened slightly. They really couldn't understand how on earth the Three Thousand Burning Flame had anything to do with the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.
"That's right. The Three Thousand Burning Flame originally belonged to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. They just didn't care much about it, so it ended up running off on its own, and later it was discovered by the Pill Tower."
As he spoke, Lin Feng spread his hands helplessly and continued, "But when they found it, the Pill Tower had already announced that the top ten of this Pill Gathering could enter the Star Region to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame."
"In order to avoid making the Pill Tower look too embarrassed, I didn't ask the Ancient Void Dragon Clan to come retrieve their flame. Instead, I took some blood from an Ancient Void Dragon Ban Sheng, then asked them to plant the Dragon Seal on my hand. The rest you all know—I entered through the Pill Gathering and used the Dragon Seal to regain control of it."
Lin Feng had deliberately said this with eight parts truth and two parts falsehood, wanting to scare away those who had thoughts about the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
Besides, he had already bribed that brat Zi Yan with a pile of eighth-tier pills. Using the name of the Ancient Void Dragons a little— even if the clan found out, they likely wouldn't object.
"What?!"
Hearing Lin Feng's explanation, everyone except Xiao Yixian exclaimed in shock. Their expressions instantly turned into a unified look of stunned disbelief.
A moment later, Xuan Kongzi frowned and said, "When we were sealing that beast earlier, it never said anything about being a Heavenly Flame raised by the Ancient Void Dragons?"
This situation was completely beyond what he had expected. Earlier, even if Lin Feng controlled the Three Thousand Burning Flame, Xiao Yan would still have had a chance to use other methods to 'take' it back.
But now… if the Three Thousand Burning Flame was truly the property of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, then even if they managed to get it, they would never dare let Xiao Yan absorb it recklessly.
After all, they had no idea whether the Ancient Void Dragon Clan would come to reclaim it. When facing such an ancient race, even the Pill Tower's old ancestor would have to proceed cautiously—let alone the rest of them.
