Chapter 313: Big Brother, Do You Have Some Kind of Method?
"What are Big Brother's plans next?" Xiao Fan asked curiously.
From Li Xun's earlier words, he had keenly sensed that Li Xun seemed to have something he intended to do next.
"I'm going to make a trip to Flaming Feather Lake," Li Xun said lightly.
"Flaming Feather Lake?"
The moment those three words were spoken, both Xiao Fan and Jiang Taixuan exclaimed in surprise.
Only Huang Xi frowned slightly, clearly unaware of what this meant. The years she had spent in self-sealing were far too long. During that period, the entire world had undergone tremendous changes. Many astonishing geniuses had risen and dominated their eras, and it was only natural that she didn't know all the details.
"Immortal, why would you want to go there?"
Jiang Taixuan pondered for a moment before asking.
Flaming Feather Lake.
These three words carried enormous fame throughout the entire world—let alone on the present Desolate Ancient Continent. Though its name suggested it was merely a lake and not a forbidden land, in the eyes of the world, Flaming Feather Lake was no less dangerous than one.
The reason for its reputation was simple.
Flaming Feather Lake had another name—
The Place Where Emperors Sacrifice Their Treasures.
Since ancient times, several Emperors had gone to Flaming Feather Lake to perform treasure sacrifices. The last of them was the Flaming Feather Emperor. Unfortunately, this emperor's descendants were not particularly generous, they directly claimed the entire lake as their private property and ultimately even renamed it Flaming Feather Lake.
From this alone, one could tell that the descendants of the Flaming Feather Emperor were extremely difficult to deal with. To borrow Flaming Feather Lake from them, one would need an Emperor to personally step forward.
Otherwise, even if a Quasi-Emperor went, it was still uncertain whether they would show any courtesy at all.
Because they, too, were an Imperial Clan.
There's an Imperial Weapon in that clan, and they possessed an Emperor-level killing formation. Trapping and killing an Emperor might be impossible, but trapping a Quasi-Emperor was not difficult at all.
Li Xun was not an Emperor, nor was he even a Saint yet. If he went to Flaming Feather Lake, the other party might very well refuse to give him face.
After all, a genius was still only a genius.
Before fully growing up, it was difficult for everyone to truly fear them.
Ultimately, there were simply too many geniuses in history who had fallen before reaching their peak.
"I'm just forging a treasure," Li Xun said casually.
Though he spoke with ease, both Xiao Fan and Jiang Taixuan understood perfectly—
This was Li Xun making preparations for becoming a Saint.
In the present age, aside from certain lone cultivators who became Saints on their own, or sudden breakthroughs like that of the Profound Sun Holy Land's Grand Elder, most Holy Land elders would—before stepping into sainthood—forge a Sacred Weapon of their own in advance.
Once they became Saints, they would only need to inscribe their understanding of heaven and earth onto it, allowing it to be quickly nurtured into their personal Sacred Weapon.
"The descendants of the Flaming Feather Emperor don't seem easy to deal with," Jiang Taixuan said slowly.
Over the years, he had seen and heard quite a lot on the Desolate Ancient Continent. Unlike Xiao Fan, who had only revenge on his mind, Jiang Taixuan had no real enemies.
Usually, if he encountered an enemy, that person would not see the sun the next day.
As such, he had the leisure to inquire about the strange events and legends of the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Flaming Feather Lake was one of them.
"It's fine."
Li Xun waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Back in the small world of the Great Strength Divine Demon Sect, I once had a brief encounter with one of Flaming Feather Lake's elders."
To be precise, that Flaming Feather Lake elder had even owed him a favor.
If his memory served him right, that elder's cultivation was also at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm. After he went there, he could see whether the other party was willing to accept a bit of "investment."
If that were possible, Li Xun wouldn't mind letting that elder achieve instant sainthood on the spot.
A Divine Palace Realm elder might not have much say among the descendants of the Flaming Feather Emperor, but once a Saint spoke up, that authority would more or less be sufficient.
If he could successfully draw in the Flaming Feather Emperor's lineage, then whether it was dealing with the Xiao Clan, the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty, or the Star-Moon Demon Sect, it would be of tremendous benefit.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Taixuan and the others suddenly understood.
No wonder the Immortal wanted to go to Flaming Feather Lake, there was an old acquaintance there. With that connection, things would indeed be much more convenient.
"Since the Immortal already has plans for his next step, I'll take my leave for now." Jiang Taixuan cupped his hands and spoke.
The main reason he had followed Xiao Fan to the Spirit Clan this time was because of Li Xun. If not for the great kindness Li Xun had shown him, given his temperament, there was no way he would have followed Xiao Fan into such a dangerous venture.
After all, what kind of place was the Spirit Clan?
It was a power with an ancient and deep-rooted legacy. Luckily, Li Xun arrived at the final moment. If Li Xun hadn't come, the two of them would probably be fleeing for their lives by now.
Especially when he thought about how, at the very last moment, Xiao Fan had been marked by a Saint—Jiang Taixuan had broken out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.
Now that everything had finally been resolved, Jiang Taixuan planned to travel around and see whether he could find some opportunities of his own.
As for Xiao Fan… He truly didn't dare follow him anymore, fearing that one careless step might land him straight into another pit.
"No need to rush."
Li Xun extended one hand and gently pressed downward, a warm smile on his face, as he said:
"You two were seen by quite a few people on the Spirit Clan's ancient star. If you walk around openly now, it's hard to guarantee that no one will try to make a move against you."
The Spirit Clan might be gone, but the Xiao Clan still existed—and that was a genuine Imperial Clan. There would be no shortage of people willing to kill Xiao Fan or Jiang Taixuan and gain the Xiao Clan's favor.
Li Xun's words were by no means baseless.
"Big Brother, could it be that you have some way to help us change our appearances?" Xiao Fan's eyes lit up as he asked eagerly.
Beside him, Jiang Taixuan remained calm. When it came to concealing one's aura and hiding one's presence, he was extremely proficient.
With his current strength, he was confident that as long as a Saint didn't observe him too carefully, he could still deceive them.
"I don't really have a method for that."
Li Xun's smile didn't change. He flipped his palm, and two storage rings appeared in his hand. He sent them toward Jiang Taixuan and Xiao Fan and continued:
"But I do have some Blood Essence Stones here, which can help both of you push your strength a bit further."
As early as the moment he first met the two of them, the system had already prompted him that they were investable. It was just that at the time they were on the Spirit Clan's ancient star, and there hadn't been a good opportunity.
Only now did Li Xun finally find the right moment to take out these two storage rings.
