Chapter 1 The Place of Immortals?

"The Place of Immortals?" Xu Que noticed the name, but didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, Jiang Tai Xu's memories were highly problematic. A figure also emerged in his mind.

"Could it be him?" The figure in his memory was very vague. He had clearly sat in front of him and spoken to him, yet he couldn't remember his appearance at all.

However, if he had to say who had the ability to fabricate Hengyu the Great and the Jiang Imperial Clan, he could only think of that figure. After all, that person also knew about Earth, so those novels on Earth definitely couldn't be hidden from him.

But he was very curious, what was the reason for the other party to do this? Just for fun? It shouldn't... be, right?

Of course, this was just a guess. He couldn't be sure yet, as there was still too little information.

"Tai Xu, apart from awakening the Imperial Clan bloodline and the Divine King Body, and those memories, did you obtain anything else?" Xu Que asked, wanting to deduce the truth behind this matter. For the time being, he could only rely on the memories in Jiang Tai Xu's mind.

"There is..." Jiang Tai Xu seemed hesitant, but after pondering for a moment, he said, "In the family's trial grotto-heaven, I also obtained a cultivation method called the *Fen Jue*."

*Chi!*

Xu Que felt like he had been stabbed in the heart again. Wasn't it Hengyu the Great just now? How did the *Fen Jue* suddenly appear?

"*Fen Jue*... I remember there was a senior in the Exploding Heavens Faction, known as the Flame Emperor. The cultivation method he practiced was also called *Fen Jue*." Xu Que pretended to be calm, but his heart had already become a divine beast grassland, with dense crowds of divine beasts galloping across it.

"So the Flame Emperor is also a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction?!" Jiang Tai Xu's eyes widened in surprise, but this only made Xu Que feel even more tired. Damn it... it really was that *Fen Jue*!

"Why isn't your Jiang family's inheritance the *Hengyu Sutra*, but the *Fen Jue*?" Xu Que had never felt so tired, nor had he felt he could have so many doubts.

Jiang Tai Xu scratched his head and said, "Our clan's *Hengyu Sutra* has been lost. As for the *Fen Jue*, it was obtained by my lineage's ancestor in exchange with the Flame Emperor, so it has been preserved to this day."

Hearing Jiang Tai Xu's explanation, Xu Que was already too exhausted to complain. Looking at Jiang Tai Xu, he asked weakly, "Tai Xu, have you ever practiced the *Fen Jue*? Can you demonstrate it?"

Jiang Tai Xu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll demonstrate it."

To cultivate the *Fen Jue*, one must start from the Foundation Establishment stage. Once past the Foundation Establishment stage, one must abolish their cultivation to have a chance to succeed. Moreover, the *Fen Jue* was initially only a Yellow-Rank, Low-Grade technique, but it was extremely strange and could continuously evolve with the help of different flames.

Jiang Tai Xu obtained the *Fen Jue* when he passed the first trial. At that time, he had no other choice. They couldn't obtain good cultivation methods in the Jiang family at all, so even if it was a Yellow-Rank, Low-Grade technique, he had to cultivate it.

Fortunately, the trial grotto-heaven had no shortage of immortal flames. Each time he passed a trial, he could also fuse with a wisp of the immortal flame's phantom. Although it was only a trace of its aura, after nine trials, he had smoothly advanced the *Fen Jue* to the Profound-Rank, Low-Grade.

He sat down cross-legged and began to circulate the *Fen Jue*. The spiritual energy in his body began to flow along his limbs and bones, circulating in cycles.

"System, is this the real *Fen Jue*?" Xu Que didn't understand the *Fen Jue*, but he had the system at his side. It wouldn't be difficult to know if it was genuine.

"Ding! Do you want to pay 1,000 Acting Tough Points to check?"

"Take it, take it, hurry up!" Xu Que said impatiently. This system was just obsessed with money, with no sense of awareness at all. He would have to educate it properly sooner or later.

"Ding! 1,000 Acting Tough Points have been deducted. Checking..."

"Ding! According to the system's check, it is indeed the genuine *Fen Jue*, priced at 30,000 Acting Tough Points." The system's voice sounded in Xu Que's mind, but he wasn't happy at all. This answer made things even more confusing.

"Wait... what do you mean by genuine *Fen Jue*? Isn't the *Fen Jue* in the shop worth only 300 points?" However, Xu Que suddenly discovered a big problem. The *Fen Jue* in the system shop was only worth 300 Acting Tough Points, but the system had just said it was worth "30,000 points"!

"Ding! If the host upgrades the system to version 4.0, they can exchange for the Star-Grade, advanced technique *True Fen Jue*." The system's voice rang out.

Wonderful words surged in Xu Que's heart. So the techniques he was currently practicing were all fake. Adding the word "True" directly increased the value a hundredfold. He just wanted to curse!

"Eh... wait!" But, he thought about it and realized that this was an opportunity. He looked at Jiang Tai Xu, a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem... Tai Xu, stop." Xu Que said to Jiang Tai Xu with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Tai Xu stopped circulating his technique upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Brother Xu Que, don't I need to continue demonstrating?"

Xu Que waved his hand and said, "No need, it is indeed consistent with the characteristics recorded by the Exploding Heavens Faction. It seems that it was indeed traded by the Flame Emperor with your clan."

Jiang Tai Xu was somewhat puzzled, looking at Xu Que and asking, "Brother Xu Que, doesn't the Exploding Heavens Faction have the *Fen Jue* internally?"

Xu Que sighed to the sky, "Alas... time is ruthless. Even my Exploding Heavens Faction has suffered many losses. The *Fen Jue* just happens to be one of them."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Tai Xu again and said, "Tai Xu, are you willing to trade the *Fen Jue* with me? I can trade it with you for different flames."

"Different flames?!" Jiang Tai Xu's eyes lit up. He was originally wondering, if the Flame Emperor was really a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, how could the *Fen Jue* be lost? But hearing the second half of the sentence, he ignored it. Over time, even their Jiang family's *Hengyu Sutra* was lost. The Exploding Heavens Faction was even more ancient than the Jiang family, so it was normal to lose some treasures.

"That's right, cultivating the *Fen Jue*, the most important thing is different flames. If you are willing, we can trade with different flames." Xu Que looked at the price of different flames in the system, and when he thought of the price of the *True Fen Jue*, he smiled at Jiang Tai Xu.

Jiang Tai Xu looked at Xu Que with a smile on his face and thought for a moment, "Okay, Brother Xu Que, I am willing to trade, but I want three... no, five different flames!"

He was originally prepared to ask for three, but thinking that he might not get another chance, he immediately increased the price.

Oh, you're "asking for a high price"!

Xu Que looked at the price of the different flames, sneering in his heart, but his face showed a slight hesitation. After a brief thought, he said, "Okay, you are now a member of my Exploding Heavens Faction, so I can't let you suffer. I will trade you the *Fen Jue* for five different flames!"

Seeing that Xu Que really agreed, Jiang Tai Xu's face turned red, and he kept reflecting in his heart, wondering if he had asked for too much. If he wasn't a member of the Exploding Heavens Faction, Xu Que definitely wouldn't have agreed just now, right?

This also made him feel a little ashamed, and at the same time, his goodwill towards Xu Que greatly increased.

"System, buy the Profound Yellow Flame, Azure Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, and Bone Spirit Cold Flame." After a brief thought, Xu Que decided which different flames to trade with Jiang Tai Xu.

He didn't know how much Jiang Tai Xu knew about different flames, and in order to make the Exploding Heavens Faction appear more extraordinary, he couldn't trade him the last five different flames on the list.

Of course, he wouldn't let himself suffer. The top ten different flames all started at a minimum of 2,000 Acting Tough Points. How could he be willing to part with them? Even he himself only had the Bone Spirit Cold Flame as his strongest.

"Ding, 100 Acting Tough Points have been spent. Successfully exchanged for the Profound Yellow Flame. Do you want to absorb it into your body?"

"Ding, 380 Acting Tough Points have been spent. Successfully exchanged for the Azure Lotus Core Flame. Do you want to absorb it into your body?"

"Ding, 720 Acting Tough Points have been spent. Successfully exchanged for the Azure Lotus Core Flame. Do you want to absorb it into your body?"

"Ding, 900 Acting Tough Points have been spent. Successfully exchanged for the Azure Lotus Core Flame. Do you want to absorb it into your body?"

"Ding, 1,300 Acting Tough Points have been spent. Successfully exchanged for the Azure Lotus Core Flame. Do you want to absorb it into your body?"

"No!"

Xu Que replied, then took out five completely different different flames from the system space, and then said to Jiang Tai Xu: "These five are the Profound Yellow Flame, Azure Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, and Bone Spirit Cold Flame, all powerful different flames on the Different Flame Rankings. If you think it's feasible, I will trade you with these different flames."

Jiang Tai Xu couldn't take his eyes off the five different flames that Xu Que took out. Each of the five different flames was extremely mysterious, with completely different flavors. If he could really refine them into his body, it would definitely transform the *Fen Jue*!

"Okay, Brother Xu Que, please wait a moment, I will transcribe the *Fen Jue* for you." Jiang Tai Xu said repeatedly, looking at the five different flames, he couldn't wait, and quickly rummaged through his luggage, wanting to find paper and pen to transcribe it.

"Use this thing." Xu Que threw out a piece of jade, which he bought from his sub-system, a heritage jade worth 100 points, which could imprint memories in it. "Place it on your forehead, and just imagine the *Fen Jue* method in your heart."

"Okay! Good!"

Jiang Tai Xu did not doubt him and placed the jade on his forehead, chanting the *Fen Jue* in his heart. The jade also flashed with specks of light at the same time, and then dissipated after a moment.

"Brother Xu Que, is it okay like this?" Jiang Tai Xu handed back the jade. He had never seen such a treasure before, but he didn't doubt what Xu Que said, after all, the other party's origin was too mysterious, and he could easily take out five different flames!

Xu Que took the jade and asked the system to check it. After getting a definite result, he said to Jiang Tai Xu: "It's okay, I will help you refine these five different flames later."

He was now controlling the different flames suspended in the air with spiritual energy, which were all bought from the system. For him, he could use them without refining them at all, but for others, these different flames were extremely dangerous. Any one of them was enough to instantly burn a Core Formation or even a Nascent Soul into ashes.

Without his help, he didn't think Jiang Tai Xu could refine any of them.

"Okay!" Jiang Tai Xu said, feeling a little moved in his heart. He could guess that Xu Que could easily control five different flames, then he must have special methods, otherwise with the violent power of the different flames, they would have already turned into ashes when all five appeared.

Even if he cultivated the *Fen Jue*, it would be difficult to refine them, and he might even die, but Xu Que took the initiative to mention helping him refine them at this time, which made him even more grateful to Xu Que.

"Well, let's refine the Profound Yellow Flame first, and then refine the other types when the time comes." Xu Que said, and at the same time looked at Jiang Linlin, who was standing there blankly, "Little sister, come behind me, it will be very dangerous for your brother later."

"Ah? Why?" Jiang Linlin said, she didn't understand what Jiang Tai Xu and Xu Que were saying before, and she didn't want to interrupt to ask, but it had been holding her back for a long time.

"Sister, listen to Brother Xu Que, I will explain it to you after your brother refines the different flame." Jiang Tai Xu said to Jiang Linlin, he wasn't much older than Jiang Linlin, but after getting the inherited memory, his mind had gradually matured and he considered more, so he also took on the obligation to take care of Jiang Linlin.

"... Okay." Jiang Linlin pouted, but still obediently stood behind Xu Que.

Xu Que didn't wait any longer and said to Jiang Tai Xu: "Then let's start."

He walked up to Jiang Tai Xu and sent the Profound Yellow Flame into Jiang Tai Xu's body with his own spiritual energy as a medium, and Jiang Tai Xu didn't dare to hesitate and immediately began to circulate the *Fen Jue*, while the Divine King Body also began to exert its power, and the two forces began to refine the Profound Yellow Flame.

Xu Que watched Jiang Tai Xu's body crack and recover, recover and crack again, marveling at the power of the Profound Yellow Flame, and also rejoicing that he had a system, so he didn't need to deliberately refine it at all.

"It's a pity that I only earned a mere 26,000 Acting Tough Points." Playing with the jade in his hand, Xu Que couldn't help feeling emotional, after all, he was too soft-hearted and couldn't bear to cheat children, otherwise he could easily negotiate the price into one type of different flame, and even empty-handed tricks were not impossible.
