--- Chapter 347 ---
Han Yuan followed Di Tian back to the Lake of Life. On their way, several ferocious spirit beasts looked at them with admiration, their previous fight having shocked them to the core.
Whether it was Bear Lord, Myriad Demon King, or even the Abyss Demon Dragon, they all regarded Han Yuan with respect.
While they detested humans, whose greed knows no bounds, strength was always paramount among the spirit beasts.
Furthermore, Han Yuan was not like other humans.
He advocated for peace between humans and spirit beasts by creating the Soul Contract and Spirit Soul methods.
Additionally, he was able to back his talks with his strength, which he showcased while fighting Di Tian.
As a result, Han Yuan earned the respect of the ferocious spirit beasts, especially from Bear Lord.
"Hey, kid!" Xiong Jun called out to Han Yuan, crossing his arms. "Let's have a drink later. This Brother Bear will treat you to some delicious Honey Wine and a welcome gift."
Both Han Yuan and Di Tian were stunned by this sudden invitation from the Bear Lord.
Han Yuan pointed to himself in confusion, while Di Tian shot Xiong Jun a strange look, knowing how much Bear Lord typically disliked humans.
However, the moment of confusion quickly passed, and Di Tian realized why someone as rebellious as Xiong Jun would do something like this.
He noticed that the views of the other ferocious spirit beasts towards Han Yuan were less hostile.
Di Tian nodded inwardly, thinking, 'Considering we owe Han Yuan a lot, he deserves the highest treatment from the Star Dou Forest.'
He then nudged Han Yuan's shoulder and said, "Just say yes. Xiong Jun is a straightforward and blunt fellow. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear also has something that your spirit masters would definitely find valuable."
Han Yuan realized what Di Tian meant and responded with a nod, "Alright, I'll visit you later, Bear Lord."
"I'll also treat you to some of the wines I made myself!"
"Hahaha, good!" Bear Lord exclaimed excitedly, laughing out loud.
The Myriad Demon King, Abyss Demon Dragon, and other ferocious spirit beasts were speechless.
They didn't expect the usually muscle-headed Xiong Jun to extend his favor to Han Yuan first.
They exchanged glances and then also invited Han Yuan to visit their territories, offering conditions similar to Xiong Jun's, if not better.
Han Yuan sensibly replied to all their invitations, and Di Tian pulled him away before the situation could escalate.
"Sigh, it's rare to see them this lively," Di Tian remarked in a low voice.
Han Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you usually supposed to be in a deep slumber? Of course, it's rare for them to gather like this."
Di Tian chuckled bitterly, "You don't understand. Although the Core of the Star Dou Forest is quite united, it's an alliance of many powerful ferocious spirit beast clans—Bear Lord, Myriad Demon King, Abyss Demon Dragon, Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff, Emerald Swan, and many others."
"As you cooperate with the Star Dou Forest, the interest of the forest also changes, which revolves around you. They are trying to gain your favor for better treatment later."
"Well, what's the problem?" Han Yuan tilted his head.
"You... I don't really know what to say," Di Tian replied helplessly.
Han Yuan smiled, "What if I told you I have something that would drive spirit beasts crazy?"
"Sure, the Soul Contract and Spirit Soul methods might not sound appealing to most spirit beasts."
"But what about a chance for bloodline purification?"
Di Tian froze in place, while the spirit beasts nearby dropped their jaws in disbelief. They gazed at Han Yuan with intense curiosity, wanting to know if he was serious.
Nearby, Ah Yin, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Rou also heard Han Yuan's statement and exchanged confused glances.
"Did Han Yuan have such a treasure?"
While they knew Han Yuan had the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and some Immortal Herbs, which he had already refined into several precious pills, the growth of new Immortal Herbs was too slow to let all the ferocious spirit beasts present undergo bloodline purification.
What they didn't know was that Han Yuan wasn't referring to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well because he understood that resources in the Douluo Continent were limited. He had used most of them himself, aside from a few treasures from the Extreme North and other dangerous areas.
What Han Yuan meant was something from another world, specifically, the Dou Qi Continent.
Yes, Han Yuan was talking about the Heavenly Flame!
Under the disbelieving gazes of everyone around, Han Yuan snapped his fingers and summoned the projection of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Enma.
Using the Authority of Dream, Han Yuan was able to manifest anything he imagined into reality. Although this projection had a weaker fire force, it still retained the traits of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.
The traits to purify, refine, and strengthen the bloodline of a beast.
Looking at the crimson-blooded flame, every spirit beast in the vicinity couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Even Ah Yin and Myriad Demon King, who were supposed to be plant-type spirit beasts, craved the power that this flame possessed.
Deep in the small realm beneath the Lake of Life, a pair of beautiful amethyst eyes opened.
The eyes gazed up, "This presence..."
"Strange Flame?" A feminine voice questioned in a surprised tone.
"I thought such a thing could only be born in the most extreme and bizarre place in the universe?"
"Since when did the Douluo Continent produce a Strange Flame?"
Meanwhile, Di Tian gazed at the Heavenly Flame above Han Yuan's hand and asked, "I-Is this creation from that place?"
Han Yuan acknowledged, "Mm, the Douluo Continent couldn't give birth to something like this."
"Only 'that' place where the law of cultivation is quite fair to all creation, such a force of nature could come into existence."
Di Tian sucked a cold breath, "Impressive..."
Han Yuan calmly explained, "The name of this fellow is Enma, also known as the Ten Thousand Beast Flame."
"It is capable of purifying, refining, and strengthening the Magical Beast's bloodline by at least one stage, more if the treatment is 'naturally' done often."
"Avatism Evolution is almost 99,9 percent guaranteed."
"Um, why not 100 percent?" A random ferocious beast asked.
Han Yuan smiled faintly, "The small percentage is the possibility of your bloodline undergoing a benign mutation, and surpassing your own ancestor."
Hiss!
Previously, it was Di Tian who sucked a cold breath. Now, almost every single one of them is doing the same.
None of them thought Han Yuan wasn't lying because they could clearly feel that the power of Ten Thousand Beast Flame was beneficial for their bloodline.
When Han Yuan recalled the projection of Ten Thousand Beast Flame, they couldn't help but lament in sorrow.
"Alright, alright, don't give me that face." Han Yuan waved his hand to them casually. "I can summon Enma anytime, and even produce the Flame Seed for your clan to use, but you need to exchange some treasures in return."
"Don't worry about losing deals, because each Flame Seed could last for ten years."
After hearing this explanation, the ferocious spirit beasts sighed in relief, and they quickly vanished from Han Yuan and Di Tian's sight, leaving an empty field.
They were running to gather treasure from their clans. In fact, some of them might dig their ancestors' graves to fetch their spirit bones.
What? Disrespectful?
What matters is that their clan prospers!
Han Yuan rubbed his chin and commented, "I knew the Ten Thousand Beast Flame would be attractive, but damn..."
"..." Di Tian's mouth twitched.
"Well, now that they are gone," Han Yuan flashed a smile at Di Tian. "Let's check the Emperor Auspicious Beast."
Di Tian gave Han Yuan a snort, "You'd better leave some Flame Seed for me, too."
"I got you, I got you, Di Tian. Don't worry, homie..." Han Yuan replied carelessly, not minding Di Tian's request at all.
