"Is there still time Don't you want to go back and look" Su Meiyao could tell that Shen Xiang had made some progress in refining Heaven-grade pills, but she didn't know exactly how he planned to achieve his goal.

"That little bad dragon is watching the palace lord of the Fire God Temple. As long as he doesn't act, I don't need to worry," said Shen Xiang as he took out a piece of tree root. This was one of the main ingredients needed for the refining process of the One-Embraced Fruit, which was a root from the One-Embraced Tree.

Su Meiyao sighed, knowing that when someone was deeply engrossed in alchemy, it was difficult to disturb them with other matters. She had also experienced this before, where nothing else mattered.

"The Fire God Temple has another Celestial King, you should know that. Don't only focus on this palace lord," Su Meiyao reminded him, not wanting Shen Xiang to miss out on anything important. Although Shen Xiang's strength was significantly weaker compared to Celestial Kings, it was only he who could come up with a way to deal with them.

Shen Xiang thought for a while, realizing that the hidden Celestial King was indeed a big problem.

"That Celestial King acted on his own initiative before, and because of that, he ended up like this. This palace lord doesn't want the hidden Celestial King to end up in a similar situation either, especially since there aren’t many powerful people in the Fire God Temple – this is not good for that palace lord," said Shen Xiang, although he still had Dragon Xueting go and contact people from the Falling Dragon Sect. He wanted to obtain information about Dawn Martial Continent through this channel, while Lan lan and Yan Y嫣然 were responsible for collecting intelligence in the Heavenly Empyrean domains, leaving secret signals everywhere.

After dealing with these matters, Shen Xiang could finally focus on his alchemy. He needed to quickly create Heaven-grade pills to pass the Eight Tribulation of Nirvana and at the same time use those Heaven-grade pills to recruit a batch of secret retainers.

"The One-Embraced Tree Root is much harder to obtain than the One-Embraced Fruit. Although this root isn't as sturdy as the fruit, its insides are very complex; I failed many times when refining the One-Embraced Pill because I couldn't control those complex changes," explained Su Meiyao.

Shen Xiang looked at the tree root in his hands and could clearly feel its temperature changing – it alternated between cold and hot. The temperature varied each time, sometimes leaving his hands extremely hot like burning charcoal, while other times it was warm and comfortable. When placed in water, when the water was cold, he could freeze a whole basin of it into ice. When it was hottest, the water could dry out completely, which was a very rare characteristic among medicinal herbs.

"The One-Embraced Tree Root is indeed a miraculous medicinal herb, alternating between cold and hot. It represents Yin and Yang, and I might be able to control the changes since I have the divine Meridian of Yin and Yang," said Shen Xiang as he opened his palm, laying the tree root flat inside. Then, like before, he released flames and burned the tree root.

He had done something similar with the One-Embraced Fruit, but no one knew what he was doing. Since it wasn't edible, Dragon Xueting didn't feel any regret, only wondering about the significance of Shen Xiang's actions.

Both Su Meiyao and Dragon Xueting had asked Shen Xiang about it, but he didn't explain everything clearly to them. He only said that they would understand once they succeeded.

Just like with the One-Embraced Fruit, Shen Xiang sat motionless, staring at the burning tree root in his hands. He did this for several days.

Compared to the One-Embraced Fruit, this process lasted much longer. The tree root had some changes; originally black in color, it now turned snow-white, even though it was being burned by flames, releasing a series of snow-white light rays.

Shen Xiang's face was calm, but his eyes revealed excitement. It seemed as though he had already successfully completed something.

"Little bad guy, there's an old lady looking for the palace lord of the Fire God Temple. They're outside the seal formation, which was used to seal you before," suddenly informed Dragon Xueting as she sent a telepathic message to Shen Xiang. This was an urgent matter: "The old lady isn't weak, and she looks like she can be on equal terms with the palace lord. She should be that hidden Celestial King."

Shen Xiang frowned slightly. He saw that the tree root he had burned white suddenly flashed and disappeared, but there was no look of disappointment on his face. He already had a preliminary understanding of the "God Metamorphosis Method" he'd created.

"Can we eavesdrop on their conversation" asked Shen Xiang. The appearance of the hidden Celestial King was good news for him because that allowed him to monitor her movements.

"Yes, I'll send it to you," said Dragon Xueting. Her Divine Flight technique was more advanced than Shen Xiang's, allowing her to fly farther and faster while remaining more hidden. She also transmitted the appearance of the old lady into Shen Xiang's mind.

The hidden Celestial King of the Fire God Temple was a woman, although she appeared to be near her end with her life almost extinguished. However, she was very powerful. Shen Xiang could sense the oppressive pressure coming from her even when he flew there using his divine path, which surprised him. The old lady seemed to be utilizing spiritual power.

In order not to be discovered, Shen Xiang didn't dare to use his divine path closely. His proficiency in the divine path wasn’t as high compared to Dragon Xueting, who could do it much more stealthily.

"Qiong Jin Wang, what's your intention How could I suspect that you killed my junior brother" the palace lord's voice was filled with anger, his face turning red.

Shen Xiang immediately understood that the young Celestial King was her junior brother.

"It’s actually Qiong Jin Wang. She's still alive!" Su Meiyao was surprised as she and Bai Youyou could hear Dragon Xueting's conversation.

Qiong Jin Wang also showed anger, "There's no one else who could destroy the Holy Flame Mountain. That mountain was created by the Heaven God Emperor; only you know how weak its formation is."

"Don’t forget that there are many powerful people hidden in this Heavenly Empyrean realm! If you investigate thoroughly, you'll find out that the junior brother was poisoned before. He was poisoned by Dark Cold Evil Poison because he provoked Ghost-Killing King, and after a conflict with him, the Ghost-Killing King ended up taking revenge on many people. Your followers should have reported to you, right"

Qiong Jin Wang's wrinkled old face flushed red as she said coldly, "So you had the opportunity to destroy the formation and let the magma volcano erupt, destroying the entire Holy Flame Mountain. Now that there's no one left to testify against you, everything you say is valid; in any case, this matter is your responsibility. You knew he was poisoned but still stayed here to guard the seal."

"If you don't want to attack Dawn Martial Continent, then it's fine. But you must hand over your forces to me; I'll take care of this," said Qiong Jin Wang as she suddenly took out a red fire-colored token; even from Dragon Xueting's image transmitted by telepathy, it was very dazzling.

"Fine. You can go and attack Dawn Martial Continent; since you're willing to die, I won't stop you. Don’t expect it to be simple," said the palace lord coldly before walking into a small house and continuing to guard the seal formation.

Qiong Jin Wang left, also taking away a large number of very powerful people from the Ice and Fire City. These were people that the palace lord could mobilize, which also counted as a part of very powerful forces within the Fire God Temple.

"Where did they go" instantly, Shen Xiang moved to follow the people led by Qiong Jin Wang. This palace lord was now no longer worth monitoring; he only wondered what the palace lord was worried about in Dawn Martial Continent that made him lose his courage to attack.

"They went to a place in the Domain of Evil. It seems that this old lady has been hiding in the Domain of Evil all along; let's go. I'll tell you which city they teleported to in the Domain of Evil," said Dragon Xueting before asking, "Sister Meiyao, do you know that Qiong Jin Wang"

Bai Youyou, who usually didn't speak much, said, "She doesn’t know, but I do – she was a powerful person in the Domain of Evil back then and had the nickname Fiery Lotus Mystic Woman. She was also one of the most beautiful women in the Evil World, with countless追求ers. Her master was a very powerful Heavenly Monarch, and she herself and our master, the Immortalless Mystic King, were both powerful individuals. However, after going to the Nine Heavens Mystic Temple, she never returned."

"I didn't expect her to have a junior brother Rumors said that they got together in the past, and you even killed him So good… Hehe…" Su Meiyao suddenly laughed happily as she said, "I wonder what happened that made her get so old. Back then, she was very concerned about her appearance because she heard that my Youyou was more beautiful. She chased you for hundreds of years, eventually even involving me in her affairs. Our senior sisters gave her a good lesson back then, which led to both of our masters' involvement in the conflict. They fought fiercely."

Shen Xiang didn't expect that such a thing happened between them, and he sighed, "It’s indeed true that beauty can be a curse.uld be that the forces under the Heaven Evil Sacred Sword and Devouring Demonic Sacred Sword are working together to plot this.” Mian Jian replied, they were communicating using whispers to avoid some...
