“Big Brother, just burn me. I’m not afraid,” Jie Huang said, his teeth almost grinding. Then, he added in a gentler tone, “Could you seal my senses and feelings before you burn me?”

Di Jiu laughed and said, “No, maybe this formless Desire Poison exists in your senses or feelings. Therefore, I will not seal anything that is related to you. Of course, I will create a noise isolation restriction so that you can scream and nobody will hear you.”

Jie Huang’s face turned increasingly paler, as he knew how scary and torturous it would be although he had never been through it before.

“Big Brother, the flame might not work because my father has a very high-level flame too. He would have used it long ago if it had worked,” Jie Huang mumbled.

Di Jiu said emotionlessly, “Your father may have flames, but he definitely does not have what I have. Furthermore, your senses are weak because you have been cultivating in a bed of roses. Only when you are burned with fire will you undergo nirvana once again and temper your will.”

Di Jiu was not boasting because he had the Dao fire. In the entire universe, there were minimal flames that could form the Dao fire. In addition, his Dao fire was with the Golden Dao Law in his Spiritual Sea. Therefore, his Dao fire was much stronger compared to other people’s.

“Big Brother, just burn me even if it kills me.” Jie Huang gnashed his teeth as he thought of how his father had looked down on him, abandoned him and confined his mother in jail. The torture of the Desire Poison sprang to his mind.

Di Jiu looked at Jie Huang and said, “I would not dare kill you. However, my Dao fire is rather low-level, so I will need more time to burn you. Bear with it.”

“Big Brother, can you level up your Dao fire by using this?” Jie Huang opened his palm and a light purple crystal stone appeared in it.

“Is this the Planetary Core Crystal?” Di Jiu exclaimed before taking the purple crystal stone. “Where did you get such good stuff?”

Di Jiu had once had a Planetary Core Rock. This rock was formed by the flame in the deepest part of the planet and could level up immortal flames. The Planetary Core Crystal was formed by condensed Planetary Core Rocks which had absorbed the aura of flames for numerous years and transformed into crystals.

“I can’t get such good stuff. My mother gave it to me, and now I’m going to give it to you.” Jie Huang remained fearful.

Di Jiu did not ask anything else. He could feel that all the good things that Jie Huang possessed had been given to him by his mother. His father had given him fewer things.

“Wait for me to level up the fire.” Di Jiu opened his hand and a ball of black flame appeared in front of his eyes. The black flame sensed the Planetary Core Crystal immediately and became enraged before sweeping the crystal away.

The black flame erupted so suddenly that it would probably have shot out of the roof if Di Jiu had not controlled it.

“That’s formidable! What is that flame?” Jie Huang exclaimed. After all, he did not know anything about the Dao fire.

“The Luminous Starry Sky.” Di Jiu’s Dao fire leveled up quickly while he was speaking. Meanwhile, the crystal disappeared completely within a short time. As a result, the Dao fire officially became a level-six immortal flame.

“Big Brother, are you going to burn me now?” Jie Huang looked at the black Dao fire frantically and trembled.

Di Jiu shook his head and said, “I can’t burn you yet because you still need to learn the Starry Sky Art, the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art, and the Forging Spiritual Art. You have to control your will and use your own power while tempering your body.”

“Big Brother, I’m afraid that I cannot switch the techniques because I have cultivated the Star Demon Art.” Jie Huang shook his head. He could not do it.

Di Jiu laughed. “Have some trust in me. I have confidence in knowing how to change your cultivation to the Starry Sky Art. I am going to burn your body after all.”

Di Jiu would obviously allow Jie Huang to cultivate the Starry Sky Art since he was going to change the meridians Jie Huang used to absorb aura and create a Starry Sky meridian for him.

The foundation of all cultivation techniques was how the aura moved due to the Qi Circulation. Di Jiu changed the way Jie Huang’s aura moved from its roots and created a new Starry Sky meridian.

It was not the first time he was doing this. Although he did not have the help of the Golden Dao Law, his cultivation experience had increased many times. Besides, Jie Huang was not an ordinary person with no cultivation experience. He was a Grand Zenith Immortal.

“Okay, you are the Big Brother. Everything you say is right. I will listen to you. I have a request before you burn me, Big Brother.” Jie Huang sighed hopelessly, as he did not have a choice.

“Say it.” Di Jiu did not mind.

Jie Huang drew a breath of cold air and much of the fear in his eyes disappeared. “Big Brother, although I’m a nouveau riche, I’m not so stupid as to be clueless about everything and call anyone my big brother. I have seen your capabilities and I know that you will be successful in the future. My father might not be able to kill you even if you burn me to death.”

“Just say whatever you want and stop beating around the bush and being so emotional.” Di Jiu knew that he would not burn Jie Huang to death.

Jie Huang said unhurriedly, “If I die, please save my mother when you become more powerful. I also want you to help me kill two people. One of them is Xiling Pu from the Buzhou Immortal Sect, and the other is Yue He’er from the Heavenly Cloud Dao.”

...

The Yaohua Snow Mountain was one of the five greatest immortal sects in the Immortal Land of Demonic Clothing. Its Sect Master, Immortal Emperor Melting Snow Mo Louxue was a seventh-stage Immortal Emperor and one of the five big Immortal Emperors.

Today was a joyous occasion for the Yaohua Snow Mountain. All the five great sects in the Immortal Land of Demonic Clothing received Immortal Emperor Melting Snow’s invitation to visit the mountain.

The Yaohua Snow Mountain lived up to its name. There were rolling snow mountains over a large area of 100,000 li. Hidden in those snowy peaks were countless treasures that nobody dared to take because they belonged to the Yaohua Snow Mountain.

“Cheng’er, this is the first time I’m bringing you to the public. You should take note of the details of the heirs of the other sects and prepare for the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. Your cultivation experience is probably the lowest now, but it is fine because there is still a long way to the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. Judging from your aptitude, you can catch up with the others.” Jie Wanling reminded the boy with the golden hair patiently as they flew to the Yaohua Snow Mountain on a flying boat.

Jie Wanling sighed after saying those words. “Haish, I was planning to come after you attained the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm in the Star Demon Lake. Never had I expected that Mo Louxue’s disciple, Ai Qingbing, would attain the Immortal King Realm so quickly.”

An Immortal King did not matter to the sect masters of the five great sects at all. However, the heir of the sect attaining the Immortal King Realm was a big deal.

During the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit, not only would the sect masters be sharing, but their heirs would be sharing too. In fact, there would just be a battle between them.

The five disciples who had gone to the previous summit had become the current sect masters. The five great sects had a mutual clear agreement that whenever an heir broke through to the Immortal King Realm, the rest of them would bring their heirs to congratulate him. That was a way to flaunt one’s competence and boost the morale of the upcoming Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit.

This time, Ai Qingbing, the heir of Sect Master Melting Snow from the Yaohua Snow Mountain, was the first to attain the Immortal King Realm. Therefore, the four other sect masters had to bring their heirs to congratulate her.

The boy with the golden hair said firmly, “Father, rest assured. Although I am the youngest and have the lowest cultivation experience, I am confident that I will not be weaker than any of these four people before the next summit.”

Jie Wanling nodded, as he knew who the four people were.

The door of the Yaohua Snow Mountain was like a delicately-crafted sculpture that was both beautiful and majestic.

“Palatial Lord Jie Wanling from the Star Demon Palace and young palatial lord Jie Huang have arrived,” a palace maid announced loudly just as Jie Wanling and Jie Cheng entered the hallway.

Jie Wanling’s face darkened as he said coldly, “This is my younger son, Jie Cheng.”

An extremely beautiful woman wearing a white gown appeared in front of Jie Wanling and greeted him apologetically. “Palatial Lord Jie, I am so sorry. My palace maid did not know that the Star Demon Palace had changed its heir. This is our bad. Please pardon us.”

Jie Wanling laughed. “It is fine, Sect Master Mo.”

It was acceptable to change heir for the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit. However, the new heir had to be younger than the previous one and the sect master and the new heir had to be more closely related compared to the previous heir. It was obvious that Jie Wanling had brought Jie Cheng there to show everyone that the heir of the Star Demon Palace had changed.

“Ha ha... The Palatial Lord is really bold and resolute. You change the young palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace whenever you wish to...” Someone laughed from afar.

When this laughter stopped, the palace maid of the Yaohua Snow Mountain announced the guests’ names. “Sect Master Xiling Yuanyi from the Buzhou Immortal Sect and young sect master Xiling Pu have arrived.”
