Chapter 1323: Waking Scarlet Flame

The Ziling Sect members couldn’t get a clear look at how Xiang Shaoyun had solved the dispute, but they understood that their young sect master had become even more incredible. Even powerful enemies could be easily repelled.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun had more things to think about. The Yu and Di Clans did not seem like they were about to give up on Yu Caidie. Perhaps an even stronger person would come in the future. He had to grow as quickly as possible. Only by becoming stronger would he be able to dictate his own life.

After making sure that the Yu Clan visitors had left, Xiang Shaoyun brought Purple Lightning Marquis and Devouring Ghost to the Buried Monarch Mountain Range. They were there to look for Scarlet Flame Monarch. Only when all of them were together would the reunion be complete.

Purple Lightning Marquis would also be able to help Scarlet Flame Monarch recover a large portion of his strength. As a Rebirth Realm expert who had cultivated for over 10,000 years, his strength had reached a level regular people couldn’t even begin to imagine.

The Buried Monarch Mountain Range was incredibly extensive, spanning a large area. One mountain after another stood tall, surrounded by clouds and mists. Numerous ancient towering trees dotted the landscape. Birds and other animals could be occasionally seen. One could easily get lost in there, slowly losing one’s life to the range’s numerous dangers.

Xiang Shaoyun and Devouring Ghost might be decently strong, but they were still too weak compared to Purple Lightning Marquis. Thus, Purple Lightning Marquis would have to lead the search.

Scarlet Flame Monarch was a flame cultivator. He needed a place with dense flame energy for his cultivation. Only then would he be able to regain his full strength. To find him, they had to find a place with dense flame energy.

Purple Lightning Marquis’ senses were extremely powerful and could cover a large distance. Thus, he was much better equipped to search for such a place than Xiang Shaoyun and Devouring Ghost.

The Buried Monarch Mountain Range was worthy of being an ancient mountain range. Even Demon Saints could be seen moving around. If Purple Lightning Marquis wasn’t present, they would have already been attacked by these Demon Saints.

The deeper they penetrated the mountain range, the more they could feel that the mountain range was ancient. With the dense spiritual energy in the air, this place was extremely suited for cultivation.

“This is quite an ancient place,” said Purple Lightning Marquis.

“Um. There are quite a lot of secrets hidden here,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

He remembered that when Little White had entered this place with the old demon, they had discovered some heaven devouring canines. The heaven devouring canines were an extremely powerful species of demonic beast that could very well have a Demon God among their ranks.

“It really isn’t easy to find a place with thick flame energy in this place. I wonder if second brother managed to find one,” said Devouring Ghost in a worried manner.

“Don’t worry. If I’m not wrong, he should be over there,” said Purple Lightning Marquis as he pointed in a certain direction.

He then brought Xiang Shaoyun and Devouring Ghost to a place with multicolored rays running through the air. The place seemed near, but even a regular cultivator would need to spend several days flying to reach it. However, Purple Lightning Marquis only needed an instant to reach it.

“A dormant volcano,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he looked at the reddish mountain below him.

Below him was a red mountain range formed of dormant volcanoes. It was unknown how these volcanoes had gone dormant. Numerous demonic beasts resided in the area, such as scarlet lions, scarlet tigers, scarlet bulls, scarlet scorpions, and so on. Each species held its own territory, occupying the entire mountain range. They would constantly fight against each other for territory and resources.

“Second brother might really be here.” Devouring Ghost grew excited.

“Allow me to search,” said Purple Lightning Marquis as he swept his senses through the mountain range. However, he couldn’t find any traces of Scarlet Flame Monarch.

“Is Scarlet Flame not here?” muttered Purple Lightning Marquis.

“Let’s search somewhere else?” suggested Devouring Ghost in a somewhat disappointed manner.

“There’s no rush. Purple Lightning, try searching again. Do not let go of even a single detail. If possible, try searching underground as well. I have a feeling Scarlet Flame is here,” said Xiang Shaoyun.

Purple Lightning Marquis nodded and started searching seriously, spreading his senses deep underground.

After a short while, joy covered his face. “Found him! He hid too well.”

“Really?” Devouring Ghost was overjoyed.

“Yes. There won’t be a mistake. He is concealing even his breath. No wonder I missed him during the first search,” said Purple Lightning Marquis. “Overlord, do we wake him up?”

“Yes. He has rested for several years already. If he remains unconscious for too long, he might fall into a coma, which would be troublesome,” said Xiang Shaoyun decisively.

“Okay,” said Purple Lightning Marquis. “Scarlet Flame, wake up!”

His voice was akin to a thunderclap, bombarding the ground below him, entering Scarlet Flame Monarch’s brain and forcing him to wake up.

“Who dares to interrupt my cultivation!” Scarlet Flame Monarch roared and shot up from underground.

He transformed into a fireball, displaying a strength much greater than his previous strength. A fiery palm was sent flying toward Xiang Shaoyun and the others.

“Second brother!” Devouring Ghost shouted.

When Scarlet Flame Monarch heard his voice, he shifted the trajectory of his fiery palm.

“Scarlet Flame, it looks like your temper is as bad as ever,” Purple Lightning Marquis said with a smile. However, he sighed inwardly, Scarlet Flame has turned old.

Unlike Devouring Ghost, who had gotten a new body, Scarlet Flame Monarch was still using his old body. However, he looked much older than 10,000 years ago, and his vitality was much weaker than when he was at his peak.

Xiang Shaoyun could see that Scarlet Flame Monarch had recovered a lot compared to before. At the very least, his cultivation level had recovered up to the late-stage Heaven Battling Realm.

When Scarlet Flame Monarch’s gaze landed on Purple Lightning Marquis, he trembled and exclaimed, “Y-you’re Big Brother Purple Lightning!”

Purple Lightning Marquis still looked the same as 10,000 years ago. It was as though nothing had changed. Thus, Scarlet Flame Monarch immediately recognized him.

“Yes, it’s me,” said Purple Lightning Marquis as he patted Scarlet Flame Monarch’s shoulders.

“Hahaha, this is great. I never expected that us brothers would be able to meet again,” said Scarlet Flame Monarch as he punched Purple Lightning Marquis’s chest. His eyes were covered by a layer of mist.
