Chapter 283: Golden Flame of the Holy Spirit

Xun Er suppressed her internal doubts. The current situation wasn't right to question Xiao Ze, so she could only bury her questions in her heart for now.

The two Dou Zuns from the ancient tribe looked at the golden flame in Xiao Ze's hand. It seemed somewhat similar to the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame that their young lady mastered, but the energy within it was completely different. They couldn't help but look at Xiao Ze with envy; he truly was a person with extraordinary luck.

They knew that the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, being a flame inherited from the Gu tribe, had incredible power. However, the flame that Xiao Ze had now was even stronger than the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame. In a sense, Xiao Ze had surpassed the ancient tribe in this regard.

However, these thoughts remained in their minds, without expressing anything out loud.

Xiao Ze directed his gaze toward the Holy Spirit, with some doubt in his eyes. "Are you sure you can withstand the power of this flame?"

The Holy Spirit intensely observed the golden flame, swallowed hard, and nodded vigorously. "I'm not directly absorbing the original energy of the flame; I just need some of its energy, and that I can handle."

Seeing the Holy Spirit's determination, Xiao Ze no longer hesitated and let the golden flame fall onto the Holy Spirit. At the same time, he watched her condition closely; if she couldn't handle it, he would immediately reclaim the Emperor's original flame.

The golden flame fell onto the Holy Spirit, and her face showed clear pain. However, she continued to endure the burns of the flame with resolve, knowing that this was a necessary process to accept that energy.

Soon after, the Holy Spirit, who initially seemed like an ordinary person, began to emit extraordinary energy as she perfectly contained the power of the golden flame. Her presence became notably imposing.

The appearance of the Holy Spirit also changed; a strong aura of holiness and authority emanated from her, and her white skin showed patterns of golden flames.

This was different from the fire mark Xiao Ze gave to others; the flame was a unique source of power. The Holy Spirit contained the Emperor's original flame, and as long as that energy wasn't exhausted, she could use it indefinitely.

The Holy Spirit raised her hand and saw the golden flame patterns on her arm, showing a confident smile. "Now, I can consider myself the Holy Spirit of the Golden Flame."

"By the way, Holy Spirit, in your current state, can you break the dark energy seal that surrounds us?" Xun Er suddenly asked.

"Yes! Don't worry, I know what concerns you. Before seeking trouble with You Ming, I'll get you out of here," assured the Holy Spirit, confidently patting her chest. Then, she condensed five marks full of sacred energy and handed them to Xiao Ze and the others.

"These are my power marks; they can resist the corrosion of the dark energy. However, You Ming's minions won't be easy to handle, some of them even have the level of a saint."

The Holy Spirit showed a sincere expression. "Actually, I have an additional request. Could you help me eliminate You Ming? If we manage to defeat him, I'll also take care of You Ming's saint minions for you."

Hearing this made Xiao Ze frown. Although they were in a dangerous situation, they didn't necessarily have to join the Holy Spirit against You Ming. They could take the marks and leave, though they risked encountering You Ming's saint minions.

"If you're willing to help me, when I succeed, the combat technique left by the ancient Dou Sheng will be your reward," added the Holy Spirit upon seeing Xiao Ze's doubtful expression.

"By the way, what was that ancient Dou Sheng's name? Don't tell me you don't know," Xiao Ze asked suspiciously.

"Of course, I know, although I didn't think it necessary to mention. But since you want to know, I'll tell you."

"His title was Dou Sheng Han Hai, a water-attribute practitioner. The combat technique he mastered was a genuine heavenly-level technique: the World Devastating Current."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Xiao Ze was momentarily surprised.

"Are you sure it was Dou Sheng Han Hai?" Xiao Ze asked, making the Holy Spirit feel confused. "Do you know Dou Sheng Han Hai?"

Xiao Ze didn't respond directly but asked the Holy Spirit, "Show the appearance of Dou Sheng Han Hai so I can confirm it."

The Holy Spirit hesitated for a moment but then extended her hand and used golden energy to create a figure. Seeing that figure, Xiao Ze finally confirmed that it really was Dou Sheng Han Hai. He couldn't believe that fate had led him to find the inheritance place of Dou Sheng Han Hai.

"To be honest, I have also received the favor of Dou Sheng Han Hai. The variation of my water attribute is due to the Illusory Sea he sealed."

After hearing Xiao Ze's explanation, the Holy Spirit looked at him with a different respect, warmer than before. "You really know Dou Sheng Han Hai... Fate is truly amazing. The inheritance of Dou Sheng Han Hai belongs to you."

"In that case, I am willing to help you. Dou Sheng Han Hai had a compassionate heart, willing to sacrifice himself and become a prison to imprison You Ming, whose nature had changed drastically," said Xiao Ze. "A saint whose character has changed radically can cause unimaginable destruction in the Dou Qi continent. Let's hope this can be resolved properly."

The Holy Spirit nodded excitedly, while Xiao Ze directed his gaze toward his companions, with an apologetic expression. "I'm sorry, friends. You can leave first."

He had no intention of making decisions for the others, knowing that this involved great risk. The Grand Elder smiled. "You are a genius of our Alchemy Tower. We can't let you face danger alone."

Xun Er took Xiao Ze's hand and said, "Wherever elder brother Xiao Ze goes, I will go."

The two elders from the ancient tribe couldn't help but smile bitterly at their young lady's devotion. Their duty was to protect her, so they couldn't leave her alone.

Finally, everyone returned to the main hall, ready to head to the central area and search for the remains of Dou Sheng Han Hai.

However, before they could enter, they felt a powerful presence. "Something is wrong; it seems other powerful beings have reached the central area. Could there be a problem?" Xiao Ze looked at the Holy Spirit, who shook her head.

"After so long, I'm not sure of the current situation, but that powerful presence must be from Dou Sheng Han Hai. Even if it's his residual power, those intruders won't be able to handle it. We mustn't worry about them."

"We must hurry to the central area to avoid complications," added the Holy Spirit.

Following her words, everyone quickly headed towards the central area.
