Chapter 532: The Duke of Green Flame (Subscription Requested)
"An ocean? A sea composed entirely of Seeds of Fiery Sun?"
Qing Shi Song, the Green Envoy, stared at the scarlet mirror, wondering if he was hallucinating.
Since when had the Seeds of Fiery Sun, which were incredibly difficult to condense and usually amounted to only one, now formed an entire 'sea'?
Ever since the Duke of Green Flame received his title from the Ancient Nation of Fiery Sun and took control of the Green Flame Domain, countless geniuses had emerged throughout the ages.
A Ten Fiery Suns genius was considered a prodigy within a time frame of ten thousand to a million years, and they could directly become disciples under the Duke of Green Flame.
However, if one were to lengthen the timeline to millions or even billions of years, a Ten Fiery Suns genius was not that dazzling anymore.
According to Shi Song's knowledge, the strongest genius in the history of the Green Flame Domain was the current chief disciple of the Duke of Green Flame, Feng Wanxing.
Initially, before Feng Wanxing turned five hundred years old, he had condensed a total of seven hundred and thirty-two Seeds of Fiery Sun.
But now?
Shi Song stared blankly at the scarlet mirror, which reflected a sea of Fiery Suns. Even the splash of a single wave contained dozens of Seeds of Fiery Sun.
Then how many Seeds of Fiery Sun were there in the entire ocean?
Three thousand? Ten thousand?
Shi Song dared not imagine; it completely exceeded his understanding.
"This matter must be reported to Senior Brother immediately!"
Qing Shi Song barely calmed himself down, realizing that the situation before him was beyond his ability to handle. The only thing he could do was to notify his senior brother as soon as possible.
In fact, even his senior brother, who was at the Dominion Realm, wouldn't be able to deal with such a monstrous talent who had condensed so many Seeds of Fiery Sun. However, he still had to inform his senior brother about this matter.
Buzz.
The next moment, Qing Shi Song took out a red jade slip.
This was a communication tool among the disciples of the Duke of Green Flame. As long as they were within the Green Flame Domain, they could achieve 'instant communication'.
"Senior Brother, I'm at the Yu Family, and I've discovered a sea of Fiery Suns here."
Qing Shi Song revised his message multiple times, trying to organize his words to convey his current situation as clearly as possible.
"Is something the matter, Envoy?"
The elders and clan leaders of the Yu Family noticed the change in Qing Shi Song's behavior, but they only showed a hint of doubt. They didn't think much of it.
At this moment, most of their attention was focused on dealing with the dire situation they were facing.
The birth of a Ten Fiery Suns genius in the Dongyang Family was absolutely the worst news for the Yu Family.
If they were not careful, it could lead to the annihilation of their entire clan.
Therefore, the Yu Family's elders who had reached the Dao Realm were already considering relocating the family's hope and fire seed.
The Yu and Dongyang Families had been fighting for so many years, and their grudges were irreconcilable. Now that the Dongyang Family had risen, how could they possibly spare the Yu Family? Thus, the elders of the Yu Family didn't even consider options like surrender or negotiation.
Even if the Yu Family had produced a Ten Fiery Suns genius, they wouldn't have accepted surrender or negotiation from the Dongyang Family.
"Can that scarlet mirror probe the situation of the Seeds of Fiery Sun within my body?"
Lin Yuan stood in place, observing Qing Shi Song, who was standing there dumbfounded, staring fixedly at the scarlet mirror.
He had clearly sensed a peeping presence earlier, and each of the Seeds of Fiery Sun within his body had reacted to it.
Now, the Seeds of Fiery Sun within Lin Yuan's body had formed a complete cycle, like a single entity. He could perceive even the slightest change in his surroundings.
"Looks like they now know how many Seeds of Fiery Sun I've condensed," Lin Yuan thought, looking at the envoy's reaction without much surprise.
Half a year ago, Lin Yuan had already condensed over three thousand Seeds of Fiery Sun, and the number he had condensed now exceeded ten thousand.
To be exact, he had condensed ten thousand and three hundred sixty-three Seeds of Fiery Sun.
Such a number of Seeds of Fiery Sun appearing in a cultivator below five hundred years old was, at the very least, unheard of by Lin Yuan.
"But this is also good."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
Whether it was the Green Flame Domain or any other domain, they were all shrouded in the eternal radiance of the Fiery Sun.
Unless Lin Yuan intended to hide in the dark forever and stand against the Ancient Nation of Fiery Sun, his only option was to join the Ancient Nation of Fiery Sun's camp and strive for the greatest benefits for himself.
At least, from the current situation, the Duke of Green Flame was a powerhouse at the Chaotic Honored Master level, and the Ancient Nation of Fiery Sun was even more unfathomable.
Dongyang Family.
The tall figure was currently being entertained by the elders of the Dongyang Family.
Dongyang Meng stood obediently by his side, and the numerous high-ranking members of the Dongyang Family below showed her reverence.
As a Ten Fiery Suns genius, Dongyang Meng would attain an unimaginable status and glory if she successfully became a disciple under the Duke of Green Flame.
The entire Dongyang Family would benefit for countless years because of her.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have needed to assassinate Yu Yan," Dongyang Meng thought aimlessly.
If she had not yet condensed her tenth Seed of Fiery Sun, taking out Yu Yan from the Yu Family beforehand would have been a good choice.
But now that she had finally condensed her tenth Seed of Fiery Sun, the so-called assassination seemed a bit laughable in retrospect.
In Dongyang Meng's mind, her future status would be completely different from that of Yu Yan.
"Why isn't Shi Song back yet?" The tall figure wondered.
He had sent Shi Song to the Yu Family just as a formality, but it seemed like he was also being entertained by the family.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, the tall figure's expression changed as he took out a scarlet jade slip. Shi Song, who had gone to the Yu Family, had sent a 'message'.
"What's going on?"
The tall figure frowned, unsure why Shi Song had to use a communication method and couldn't just return in person. Although he was somewhat impatient, the tall figure still immediately divided a strand of his consciousness and probed the jade slip.
The information conveyed in the jade slip was not long, but it caused the tall figure's expression to change drastically.
"An ocean of Seeds of Fiery Sun?"
The tall figure found it hard to believe. If he hadn't been certain that Shi Song wouldn't dare to joke about such matters, he would have thought it was nonsense.
An ocean?
An ocean composed of Seeds of Fiery Sun?
"Senior Brother, has something happened?"
Another Green Envoy beside him asked in a low voice.
"It's the Yu Family."
The tall figure's heart shook, and he glanced at the envoy beside him before quickly saying, "Come with me to the Yu Family."
Although he was sure that Shi Song wouldn't dare to joke about this, if the Yu Family had truly condensed an ocean's worth of Seeds of Fiery Sun, he had to see it with his own eyes to believe it.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Immediately afterward, the tall figure and the other Green Envoy disappeared from in front of the Dongyang Family's elders.
From start to finish, the tall figure didn't explain anything to the Dongyang Family's elders. If the situation on Shi Song's side was true, then Yu Yan from the Yu Family would be the greatest genius in the history of the Green Flame Domain.
In comparison, Dongyang Meng, the Ten Fiery Suns genius, was insignificant.
Every period of time, the Green Flame Domain would give birth to some geniuses who condensed ten Seeds of Fiery Sun before the age of five hundred.
"Envoys."
The Dongyang Family's elders were a little dazed as the sudden disappearance of the envoys caught them off guard.
Dongyang Meng was the future hope of the Dongyang Family, and now they had been left behind?
"Perhaps something urgent came up?" One of the Dongyang Family's elders speculated.
The hasty departure of the two Green Envoys suggested that they had encountered something significant.
"I hope so." The second elder of the Dongyang Family added, his eyes darting uncertainly. "I'll go take a look near the Yu Family."
Although the possibility seemed slim, with Qing Shi Song not returning from his visit to the Yu Family and now the other two Green Envoys behaving strangely, he couldn't shake the feeling that their disappearance might be related to the Yus.
"The Yu Family? What business could they have there?" The clan leader of the Dongyang Family asked, perplexed.
"We'll know once we get there." The first elder replied, a hint of worry creeping into his voice. "I hope it's not what I'm fearing."
Yu Family.
Not long after Qing Shi Song had left...
The tall figure and another Green Envoy arrived at the Yu Family's location.
Given the proximity between the Yu and Dongyang Families, the tall figure was puzzled as to why it had taken Qing Shi Song so long to return.
"Senior Brother." Qing Shi Song approached the tall figure upon his arrival.
The elders of the Yu Family, who had been contemplating their next move regarding the family's fire seed, noticed the arrival of the two additional Green Envoys.
"Greetings, esteemed Green Envoys." Yu Chaolong immediately stepped forward and bowed, his confusion evident. "I thought you mentioned that the other two Green Envoys were at the Dongyang Family. And with Dongyang Meng, their ten Fiery Suns genius, why have they come here as well?"
The Yu Family elders exchanged glances, their confusion mirrored in their eyes.
"Honored Green Envoys." The leading elder of the Yu Family addressed them, taking the scarlet mirror from Qing Shi Song. As he held the mirror, a startling speculation began to form in his mind.
Could Yu Yan also be a ten Fiery Suns genius? Why else would the other two Green Envoys come here and continue to use the Fiery Sun Ancient Nation's bestowed Fiery Sun Domain to confirm?
"My son?" Yu Chaolong's thoughts mirrored those of the elder. The reactions of the three Green Envoys were highly unusual, and even without explicit words, their thoughts were not difficult to decipher given their advanced stages of life.
"Is that Green Envoy a Dominion Realm cultivator?" Lin Yuan's gaze rested on the tall figure, noting that among the three Green Envoys, two were at the peak of the Path Breaking Realm, while one had reached the Dominion Realm.
"This world truly is extraordinary." Lin Yuan marveled inwardly at the concentration of powerful beings in this source world.
Although the Green Flame Domain was vast and expansive, its size was comparable to a single universe in the chaotic void. Yet, it boasted an impressive number of formidable beings.
"Perhaps it's because of the 《Fiery Sun Enshrinement Technique》?" Lin Yuan speculated.
The 《Fiery Sun Enshrinement Technique》 heightened the understanding of the rules for the lives of the Fiery Sun Ancient Nation, resulting in a significant increase in the probability of producing powerful beings.
While other lives might not be able to match Lin Yuan's feat of condensing over ten thousand Seeds of Fiery Sun, without the five-hundred-year limit, they would still have a good chance of condensing several or even dozens of Seeds of Fiery Sun.
And with that many Seeds of Fiery Sun, their understanding of the rules would be elevated to a whole new level.
"Could it be true?"
The tall figure stared at the scarlet mirror, which reflected a surging 'sea of Fiery Suns', his thoughts in turmoil.
Hearing about a 'sea of Fiery Suns' and actually witnessing it were two very different experiences.
"Even our senior brother, with all his Seeds of Fiery Sun, probably couldn't match this."
The tall figure's thoughts turned to Feng Wanxing, the chief disciple of the Duke of Green Flame, the most powerful being in the Green Flame Domain second only to the Duke himself.
Before Feng Wanxing had turned five hundred, he had condensed over seven hundred Seeds of Fiery Sun, and with his continued cultivation over the years, that number had surely increased.
However, even Feng Wanxing's achievement seemed to pale in comparison to the 'sea of Fiery Suns' reflected in the mirror.
"How is it possible to condense so many Seeds of Fiery Sun under the age of five hundred?"
The other Green Envoy found it hard to believe. They had never questioned the accuracy of the Fiery Sun Ancient Mirrors, as they were bestowed by the Fiery Sun Ancient Nation and were infallible.
But the more they trusted the mirrors, the more astonishing this discovery became. An ocean composed of at least ten thousand Seeds of Fiery Sun? Did Yu Yan condense a Seed of Fiery Sun every few days or years?
What the three Green Envoys didn't know was that Lin Yuan had condensed these ten thousand plus Seeds of Fiery Sun within the last year alone, far surpassing their assumption of five hundred years.
In fact, he had condensed them at a rate of one per breath.
"Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Qing Shi Song asked, feeling a sense of relief at seeing the tall figure standing there, perplexed.
"What do you think we should do?" The tall figure glanced at Qing Shi Song.
"I think... we should contact the Duke?" Qing Shi Song suggested after a moment's thought.
Even though they were disciples of the Duke of Green Flame, they respectfully referred to him as "Duke."
"No need for that." The tall figure shook his head, his expression inscrutable. "The Duke most likely already knows."
Each Fiery Sun Ancient Mirror was divided into a child mirror and a mother mirror. The Green Envoys carried the child mirrors as they traveled the Green Flame Domain.
However, the mother mirror remained with the Duke of Green Flame.
Any Seed of Fiery Sun detected by the child mirrors would be 'synchronized' with the mother mirror.
Central Green Flame Domain.
In the heart of the Green Flame Domain stood an imposing and majestic city, with countless powerful auras converging from all directions.
Within the city, in the Green Flame Palace.
A man clad in a green robe sat cross-legged, his eyebrows flickering with a cluster of green flames. The aura he exuded casually was far more vast than that of the entire Green Flame Palace, or even the Green Flame City.
This man was none other than the Green Flame Duke, known as the Green Flame Grand Master before receiving his title from the Fiery Sun Ancient Nation.
"Hmm?"
The Green Flame Duke suddenly opened his eyes, the green flames between his eyebrows dancing.
At that moment.
A scarlet mirror, identical to the ones the Green Envoys carried, appeared before him.
This mirror exuded a heavy aura of authority, resembling the eternal fiery sun hanging high in the sky, radiating infinite light and heat.
"A being has been discovered who has condensed ten thousand three hundred and sixty-three Seeds of Fiery Sun under the age of five hundred?"
The Green Flame Duke gazed at the scarlet mirror, upon which a scarlet ocean, composed entirely of Seeds of Fiery Sun, was reflected.
He fell into a moment of silence.
