Chapter 1655 - The Flame
The Flame Emperor was very excited. The flames that made up his body started burning more and more fiercely.
It took him a good while to calm down. Looking at Jiang Chen, he said with a puzzled frown on his face, “Have you never found anything odd during these many years that you’ve known me?”
“No. Never,” Jiang Chen said seriously.
“You have never noticed that the connection between the Vulcan Ring and me seems very weak?” asked the Flame Emperor.
Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly and scratched his chin. He shook his head from side to side.
“Oh, man!” The Flame Emperor controlled his impulse to curse. He then complained to Jiang Chen, “You’re really not treating your Flame Emperor’s inheritance very seriously at all.”
“That’s because you’ve never told me the truth.” Jiang Chen decided to tell the Flame Emperor everything he’d discovered. “The Flame Emperor’s inheritance is an inheritance for sure, but it’s not an inheritance of a Venerable Sovereign. Instead, it consists of the Flame Emperor himself.”
It reminded Jiang Chen of Xiao Hongxue’s previous lives and his current life that he had seen through the Wisdom Eye. He nodded his agreement.
“In short, you worked out some perfect schemes. However, in the end, you still failed, and the inheritance went to Xiao Hongxue. Am I right?” said Jiang Chen.
Fire Kylin remained silent. It seemed as if he was ashamed of his failure.
If he had explained honestly everything that had happened, the only thing Jiang Chen could do would be to express his pity.
“He hasn’t got the Flame Emperor’s inheritance completely yet, though,” the Fire Kylin said in a profound voice just when Jiang Chen was going to put the Vulcan Ring aside.
He finally looked like a divine beast at this moment. His fervent flames were soaring. His eyes flashed with many lights.
“The Genuine Fire of the Sun is indispensable to become the Flame Emperor. Thus, I separated the flame of the Genuine Fire of the Sun from the ancient scripture about the Genuine Fire of the Sun in the inheritance.”
Fire Kylin said seriously, “Xiao Hongxue has only received the ancient scripture. He doesn’t have the flame. It is going to be extremely difficult for him to get the Genuine Fire of the Sun.”
“What’s your point?”
“Xiao Hongxue killed everyone wearing the Vulcan Ring once he had received the ancient scripture. But since you’ve made changes to your ring, he wasn’t able to find you. Now you could use this opportunity to get the Genuine Fire of the Sun with your Vulcan Ring.”
Jiang Chen smiled coldly at him. He said, “You’ve failed to seize Xiao Hongxue’s body. So now you’ve cast your eyes on mine?”
“Noooo. I’d given up on this idea of becoming the Flame Emperor already. I only hope you can defeat Xiao Hongxue so that I can possess him.”
“He is only a reincarnator, and he is a human instead of a Fire Kylin. Even so, you still want to possess him?” asked Jiang Chen.
“Why can’t I? Do you want to mount Fire Kylin or what?” Fire Kylin said unhappily.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen didn’t answer him.
The next question was simple: Where was the flame of the Genuine Fire of the Sun?
Without the flame, there was little he could do when he met Xiao Hongxue in the Spiritual Land Battle.
“Deal?”
Seeing that Jiang Chen had been kind of persuaded by him, Fire Kylin asked excitedly.
He would give the flame to Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen would help him defeat Xiao Hongxue so that he could seize Xiao Hongxue’s body and go on living in a different way.
“Yeah, deal.”
Jiang Chen had no reason to refuse him. “Take me to find the flame.”
