章 103: Chapter 103: Embarking on the Return Journey
Wei Yang ultimately decided not to destroy it for now.
He reached out his hand and with a thought, commanded, "Come!"
Immediately, the immense tornado that connected heaven and earth began to shrink rapidly.
Finally, it transformed into a small whirlwind about the size of a palm, obediently hovering in Wei Yang's palm with all its power contained.
Wei Yang stared at the Windfury Dragon Flame in his hand and warned, "This is my final warning to you: don't mistake my mercy for luck. Otherwise, with just a thought... you know the consequences, understand!"
From within the whirlwind came the sound of dragon chants as the Windfury Dragon Flame slightly rotated and trembled, exuding a sense of submission and gentleness, perhaps even a faint hint of friendliness?
"Hmph," Wei Yang snorted softly.
He had no doubt that with the intelligence of the Windfury Dragon Flame, it wouldn't surrender so easily. Given the opportunity, it would surely try to break free of his control and even look for a chance to retaliate.
But Wei Yang wasn't worried. As long as he remained vigilant, it would never succeed.
An otherworldly flame with its source badly damaged would certainly be of lesser value.
Otherworldly flames with strong origins, great power, and not insignificant intelligence in their mature form possess much greater value.
This level of risk was worth the minor hidden danger for Wei Yang to retain.
With a soft exhale, he looked around.
As both the Black Sun Heaven Flame and the Windfury Dragon Flame were put away, the wild sandstorm also slowly subsided.
In the sky, dark clouds began to disperse gradually.
This area gradually regained its calm.
He glanced in one direction where, in the distance, he could vaguely see the King Cobra now miniature like a toothpick, swiftly heading his way with two small figures on its head looking towards him.
Wei Yang smiled and unfolded his black wings behind, giving a flap.
Whoosh!
His entire body turned into a streak of light, disappearing from where he stood.
...
"Brother Yang."
"Young Master."
When Wei Yang landed on the King Cobra's head, the two girls quickly gathered around him.
Before they could ask questions, Wei Yang stretched his hand out from his broad sleeve and said, "Look!"
The two girls looked down at Wei Yang's palm.
In his palm hovered a small whirlwind about the size of a palm, slowly rotating.
Within, a yellowish-brown flame flickered and burned, accompanied by faint dragon chants amidst the wind.
"This is the Windfury Dragon Flame!" Xian'er's eyes lit up.
"It really is a whirlwind with fire inside, and you can hear dragon chants!" Qing Lin exclaimed in surprise.
It was hard to imagine that this palm-sized miniature whirlwind was the very same immense tornado that had covered the sky and seemed like a massive natural disaster!
"Yes, this is the Windfury Dragon Flame!"
Wei Yang smiled, "It may look small and harmless now because its power is restrained. If unleashed, it can instantly transform back into that giant tornado connecting heaven and earth!"
"Every otherworldly flame should not be underestimated; remember that. Don't be fooled by a pretty flame into thinking it's harmless!" Wei Yang admonished solemnly.
He knew that some otherworldly flames appeared quite beautiful.
Like the Red Lotus Industry Flame, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame...
He was concerned the two of them might not be wary when encountering such pretty flames in the future.
In truth, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it often is.
Xian'er and Qing Lin, both still in their teens, needed this early lesson on the true dangers of these flames.
Below, the King Cobra trembled slightly in fear.
After all, hovering above it was a flame that had almost taken its life, suspended right above it. How could it not be afraid?
No, two!
There was also a black sun!
...
Wei Yang sensed the King Cobra's fear and shook his head with a smile. He flipped his hand to take out a jade bottle and sealed the Windfury Dragon Flame inside it with several layers of soul seals before putting it away.
Seeing Xian'er's slightly reluctant gaze, Wei Yang sat down cross-legged and smiled, "What, you like this otherworldly flame?"
Xian'er nodded with a smile, not shy about it. She sat down beside Wei Yang, leaning against him, and whispered, "Yes, it's an otherworldly flame after all. Which alchemist wouldn't be tempted?"
Wei Yang comforted her with a pat on the shoulder, "This flame isn't suitable for you. When we return, I'll take you to the Netherworld Swamp of the Yunlan Empire to find the flame that perfectly suits you. This Windfury Dragon Flame will serve as a backup for now; if we can't find that flame, we'll talk again then."
"It's the Netherworld Poison Flame!" Xian'er's eyes lit up.
Just from the name, she knew it was a flame that suited her very well.
Moreover, she had long been intrigued by the Netherworld Poison Flame after reading about its characteristics in ancient texts.
"Exactly, the Netherworld Poison Flame! This flame suits you perfectly, and it might even perfectly resolve your Doom Poison Body issue," Wei Yang said with a smile. "So don't think about the Windfury Dragon Flame unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I won't let you refine it."
"Okay." Xian'er shrugged seemingly in resignation.
Nearby, Qing Lin came closer, curiously asking, "Young Master, is there a flame that suits me too?"
"Of course," Wei Yang said, pulling her to sit down. He took out an ancient book from his dimensional ring, placing it in her hands, and instructed, "Read this yourself. You have ten days to finish it and remember its contents, or else you won't be allowed to sleep!"
"Oh..." Qing Lin pouted, hanging her head in dismay at the thick ancient book, clearly distressed.
Xian'er laughed softly, "Qing Lin never likes reading; she gets sleepy whenever she tries."
"No reading, no learning some things won't do. I don't need you to be highly learned, but you must know some basic knowledge," Wei Yang said with a shake of his head, leaving no room for negotiation.
He gently patted the King Cobra and said, "Big Eye, let's set off for the Jia Ma Empire!"
Hiss~
The King Cobra responded softly, nodding obediently. It slithered in the direction Wei Yang pointed, without even needing orders, and voluntarily opened a protective shield to shield Wei Yang and the others from wind and sand.
It couldn't afford not to be obedient.
This human was terrifyingly powerful!
At least, magical beasts were good at recognizing the current situation this much.
Wei Yang raised an eyebrow, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Good sense of timing, not bad!
Depending on its future behavior, Wei Yang didn't mind allowing it to use a sub-flame of the Windfury Dragon Flame.
The Windfury Dragon Flame was undoubtedly highly suitable for the King Cobra.
It couldn't use the main flame, but a sub-flame was something Wei Yang could consider.
Perhaps with this chance, it could make a breakthrough to the sixth rank?
"We're finally heading back~" Xian'er gazed towards the direction of the Jia Ma Empire, sighing with emotion.
"Yes, we're finally going back," Wei Yang exhaled deeply, stretched, and lay down, resting his head comfortably on Xian'er's lap.
Xian'er smiled down at him, her jade-like fingers gently massaging his scalp.
Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh comfortably, closing his eyes to enjoy the moment.
Since their journey began, venturing deep into the endless desert, a year and three months had passed.
Now, they were finally heading home!
