Chapter 2602: The Lord of the Burning Palace

slashed forward.A moon-shaped sword qi flew towards the monster."Click!"The sword qi struck the monster's head squarely, but only produced a dull thud.And the monster's speed didn't abate at all, cha..."Human race...good, little girl understands." 。A strange light flashed in Zhixi's eyes as she replied. 。Thus, Fang Yu walked and chatted with Zhixi, soon arriving before the palace suspended in mid-air, surrounded by raging flames. 。Zhixi took out a token, and the token shimmered with light. 。"Whoosh!"A beam of light erupted from the ground, enveloping her and Fang Yu. 。"Whoosh!" Immediately, Fang Yu felt his body lighten. 。The scene before my eyes, changed rapidly. 。By the time his feet touched down, he was standing in front of a tea table. 。This is the teahouse that Zixi was talking about. 。Ahead is a clear pond, and on the coffee table are exquisite tea sets. 。The Tiansha clan on the Yunyun Continent also had a tea-drinking culture, which was quite unexpected for Fang Yu. 。"Fang Da-neng, allow me to brew some tea for you first. I'll go invite the sect leader shortly, please wait a moment." 。"Zhixi said" 。

“Good” 。Fang Yu sat directly to the left of the tea table, looking at the pond ahead. 。

Though this was clearly inside the palace, there wasn't a trace of heat, nor could one see any fire. 。The entire teahouse seemed to exist in another space, and the pond before it stretched endlessly. 。Anyway, the whole environment is really great. 。After Zhixi had prepared the tea for Fangyu, she bowed and then stepped out. 。

Fang Yu sat alone in the teahouse, picking up his teacup and taking a sip. 。He looked at the pond ahead, squinting slightly. 。The water in this pond is crystal clear, and you can't see any foreign objects in it. There are also no living creatures swimming inside. 。At this very moment, in another corner of the palace... 。This is obviously a scripture library, with bookshelves everywhere. The bookshelves are filled with all sorts of secret manuals. 。

Zhixi walked among the bookshelves, moving towards the deeper part. 。"This seat has learned of what transpired from the Heavenly Path, but... This seat does not understand why you brought this human cultivator back" Before any figures could be seen, a low male voice echoed out. 。"Master, I believe this human cultivator, Fang Yu, hides a great secret." 。Zhixi bent down slightly and replied. 。"This seat knows he is strong, indeed many years have I not seen such a powerful human cultivator." 。"The sect leader said, "But on the Yunyun Continent, what's most abundant are strong cultivators."> 。“The disciple wasn't brought back simply because of his strength, but because of the spell he used…” Zhixi lowered her head and said respectfully, “When he fought against the enemy in that place of inheritance, he cast a spell containing extremely powerful divine power. That aura… was extremely similar to the aura released by those strong individuals within the Divine Race...” 。"So... what do you think" the headmaster asked. 。"The disciple believes... either Fang Yu is not a member of the human race, or... he obtained divine techniques from somewhere, mastering abilities that only the divine clan can possess, and doesn't even know himself that this technique is related to the divine clan!" Zhixi replied, "And among these two possibilities, the disciple believes the possibility of being a strong expert is smaller... after all, no clan would be willing to disguise themselves as humans, such a lowly race, it makes no sense at all." 。Therefore, the most likely scenario is the latter... Fang Yu, as a human, inadvertently obtained the divine race's secret technique, thus elevating his strength to such a level. 。"

Such a secret technique is what we need" 。If we could obtain it, the entire palace would benefit immensely. 。This is why the disciple brought Fang Yu back and wanted to get closer to him. 。。As long as we can communicate with him, we have many opportunities. 。"Zhixi said softly, "He seems to be unaware of many things about the Yunyu Continent, and he is very eager to learn these details...Therefore, we can use intelligence to exchange with him..."

"This seat does not think that some intelligence can be exchanged for the secret arts of the gods, even if he doesn't know that it belongs to the gods..." The headmaster said solemnly. 。

"If we can't buy it with intelligence, then we'll have to force it." 。"Zhixi's beautiful eyes flashed a cold light, and she said, "The secret technique of the divine race leaked out and fell into the hands of a human. If such news reached the ears of the divine race...the divine race would definitely not let it go." 。"Do you intend to force him into surrendering the secrets of the divine race this way" the Sect Leader asked. 。"Yes, but this is a last resort to be used only when absolutely necessary... We won't use it unless we are completely out of options, and before that, we need to find a way to let Fang Yu know about the terrifying power of the gods..." 。"Zhixi said, “After all... what we want is the divine clan secret art in his hands, not his life." 。Under any circumstances, try your best to avoid direct conflict with Fang Yu, as he is truly formidable. 。"

Looks like you've already got a plan. " 。The headmaster's tone was tinged with relief. 。When he chose his true disciple, there were actually several candidates, and Zhixi was just one of them. 。As for cultivation aptitude, which is most valued by all the sects, Zhixi was actually at a disadvantage, even being one of the worst among the candidates. 。But the headmaster still chose Zhixi as his true disciple and made her the saintess of the Burning Palace. 。What he valued most was Zhixi's intelligence and skill. 。In his opinion, on a place like the Yunyun Continent, finding a cultivation prodigy was very easy, but finding someone like Zhixi who was suitable to be the headmaster... was very difficult. 。"Yes... currently, there are some issues we need to clarify first." 。"For example, does Fang Yu know that his spells are related to the Divine Clan Where did Fang Yu come from, and what does he know about the Yunyun Continent" Zhixi frowned, saying, "Only by fully understanding Fang Yu can I come up with the perfect countermeasure to get him to hand over the Divine Clan's secret techniques." 。"So, next… what do you want me to do" The master pondered for a moment before asking. 。"You don't need to do anything special, just introduce him..." Zhixi looked up and said. 。Fang Yu finished all the tea in the teapot, but Zhixi still hadn't returned. 。He was feeling a bit bored, so he got up and walked towards the pond. 。"Water that is too clear has no fish. But even such crystal-clear water, wouldn't you still need to plant some aquatic plants" Fang Yu thought to himself. 。"Fellow Daoist, I apologize for the wait." 。Just then, a deep and resonant voice came from behind. 。Fan Yu turned around and looked behind him. 。A scholar-like man, dressed in a Taoist robe, stepped forward. 。

He had the same mark on his forehead as Zhixi, and his eyes were filled with authority. 。This must be the head of the Palace of Burning. 。"I am Chou Wanqian, the master of the burning palace." 。“The monk began to speak,” 。Then Zhixi also followed in. 。She bowed to Fang Yu. 。"Friend Fang, please sit down. " 。Chou Wanqian smiled and gestured for Fang Yu to sit down. 。Fang Yu sat back down and looked at Qian Wanxiang across from him. 。Zhixi walked forward and poured tea for the two people sitting on either side of the coffee table. 。
