At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

Instead, there were stone tablets with words engraved on them.

After Lin Chen scanned the records, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. The records here were martial arts, body refining techniques, and insights into refining.

And they were all extremely profound and complicated. After Lin Chen finished reading, he felt his eyes swollen and painful. This was obviously not suitable for cultivation.

He turned to look at the stone tablets.

"The Yan Emperor Sutra: The technique created by the Yan Emperor is based on flames. It uses flame energy to perform martial arts, which is extremely domineering! When practiced to the extreme, it can burn mountains and boil seas, and burn everything!"

"The Yan Emperor Classic: The alchemy created by the Yan Emperor uses flames to warm the alchemy furnace, refine various elixirs with flames, and improve the level of alchemy. When alchemy reaches its peak, one can be called an emperor and transcend the saint level!"

"The Yan Emperor Fist: With the powerful and fierce power of the fire element, condense the fire boxing gloves, and perform the Yan Emperor Fist with the boxing gloves, which can destroy all enemies blocking the way!"

...

These martial arts are extremely powerful without exception, and there are a total of 968 stone tablets here, recording 968 powerful martial arts such as the Yan Emperor Sutra, the Yan Emperor Fist, the Yan Emperor Finger, and the Yan Emperor Leg!

The Nine Mysterious Queen looked at the scene in front of her, extremely excited, her eyes shining, she could feel that the martial arts here would definitely not be weaker than the techniques circulated in the Tianxuan Continent.

At this time, the old man frowned and said, "How come the Flame Emperor Tower has become like this?"

Hearing this, the Nine Profound Empress looked at the Nine Heavens Formation next to her and said, "It seems that the formation was set up by that person, so it has become like this!"

"That Lin Chen is really a despicable villain!"

The Nine Profound Empress gritted her teeth and said, "Humph! This guy is quite cautious. He actually made the Flame Emperor Tower so hidden. Fortunately, he died today, otherwise, I would never forgive him!"

"Your Majesty, calm down. This guy is just a clown." The old man comforted.

The Nine Profound Empress shook her head: "No, this guy is really cunning and treacherous. I once sent people to investigate him, but it turned out that I couldn't find out his background or where he came from. His identity seemed to appear out of thin air."

Speaking of this, the Nine Profound Empress paused and snorted coldly: "There must be a force hidden behind him. We should not provoke him!"

There was a trace of fear on her face.

The old man nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Okay, let's go in and take a look." The Nine Mysterious Queen said.

Then, she led everyone to the third floor of the Yan Emperor Tower. Along the way, she also met some Tianxuanmen disciples. When these disciples saw the Nine Mysterious Queen, their faces were excited and they knelt down and shouted, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

However, when they saw the old man next to the Nine Mysterious Queen, their faces changed drastically, with fear and shock in their eyes. They hurriedly lowered their heads and dared not look directly at the old man.

The Nine Mysterious Queen nodded as a response and led everyone to continue going up. Suddenly, Lin Chen stopped.

The Nine Mysterious Queen looked at him in confusion.

Lin Chen stared at a scroll in front of him.

This scroll depicted a vast grassland with tall green trees growing on the grassland, and on the branches of the trees, there were several wooden houses.

Under the tree, an old man with tattered clothes, scars all over his body, and a head full of white hair sat cross-legged.

Lin Chen noticed that the old man exuded a vast and ancient smell, as if he had existed since ancient times, which made people feel awed!

"Is this Emperor Yan?"

Lin Chen's pupils shrank slightly. From this old man, he felt an extremely dangerous breath, as if he was facing a prehistoric beast.

The Queen of Nine Mysteries followed Lin Chen's gaze and her face was also a little surprised.

Although this old man was already very old, he still gave her a very scary feeling, more terrifying than anyone she had ever met.

"Lin Chen, do you see anything?" asked the Queen of Nine Mysteries.

"This old man is not simple!"

Lin Chen nodded, a little surprised in his heart, because he felt that although this old man was dying, his soul was still very powerful.

Perhaps, the other party has reached the reincarnation realm, or even a strong man in the Tongtian realm, but he can't detect any vitality, obviously he won't live long.

He looked at the Nine Mysterious Empress and said, "This old man should be running out of energy soon."

The Nine Mysterious Empress looked at the old man with a gloomy expression. Although she was already an empress, she was only at the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and the gap between her and the old man was too big.

The old man opened his eyes when he heard Lin Chen's words, looked at Lin Chen, and said indifferently: "Who are you, why do you know Emperor Yan?"

He was hunched over, with loose skin, and looked like a dying tree.

"Are you the Yan Emperor that the Nine Mysterious Empress mentioned?"

Lin Chen did not answer his question, but asked instead.

Although he saw that the old man was in a bad state, he was not too worried.

"I am Emperor Yan, but I have fallen for many years!"

The old man said indifferently, and closed his eyes again, "Since you are a friend of Jiuxuan, please leave here, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

His words were cold, but weak, making people tremble, as if he would die in the next moment.

The face of the Nine Mysterious Empress changed, and she hurriedly said: "Senior Yandi, please don't misunderstand. He is not an enemy, he is the one who saved you, and he is my savior!"

"Savior?" The old man opened his eyes.

Empress Jiuxuan immediately briefly described what happened before.

After hearing this, the old man looked delighted and said, "So you are the alchemy master?"

The alchemy master, as the name suggests, is the alchemy king who refines elixirs.

There are only a handful of alchemy masters in the entire Xuanyuan Continent.

"It's this junior!" Lin Chen said, cupping his fists.

"Haha! It's really hard to find anything after trying hard to find it. It took a lot of effort to get it!"

The old man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, saying: "I never expected that the "Holy Flame Burning Heaven Technique" that I have been searching for for thousands of years would finally be in the hands of a yellow-haired boy like you!"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Senior Yan Emperor, you... do you know the "Holy Flame Burning Heaven Technique"?" Empress Jiuxuan said in surprise.

Lin Chen was also a little suspicious. Logically speaking, he knew nothing about the origin of "Holy Flame Burning Heaven Art".

"Senior Yandi, I appreciate your kindness. However, I don't want to become a disciple now. I'll wait until I have the chance to do so in the future."

Lin Chen shook his head. Although the old man was very mysterious, he did not trust him.

After all, he had just arrived here, and he didn't even know how Empress Jiuxuan found him. How could he rashly become a disciple?

"snort!"

The old man snorted coldly and did not try to dissuade him any more.

Empress Jiuxuan was a little annoyed when she saw this scene. She understood that this man didn't trust her at all, and she didn't bother to explain.

She said: "Senior, we are ready to leave here. Is there any way you can help us get out of this hellish place?"

The old man said calmly: "I only have a trace of my soul left now, and my strength is greatly damaged. It is basically impossible to leave the Yandi Tower. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Empress Jiuxuan asked.

The old man said: "Unless you can find the Yan Emperor Cauldron, as long as the Yan Emperor Cauldron is there, I can use the Yan Emperor Cauldron to perform the 'Advent of the Yan Emperor', and then I can leave here!"

"The Flame Emperor Cauldron?"

Lin Chen frowned. The Yan Emperor Pagoda was a treasure created by Emperor Yan. Could it be that the Yan Emperor Cauldron that the old man mentioned was also something left by Emperor Yan?

Empress Jiuxuan said with a solemn face: "The Yan Emperor Cauldron was left behind by Emperor Yan?"

"Not bad!" The old man nodded.

He paused and said: "Emperor Yan is one of the greatest martial artists I have ever seen."

"I once followed Emperor Yan to conquer the heavens, and he was as famous as the Bagua Qiankun Furnace, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and the Hunyuan Bell! Emperor Yan's reputation is spread throughout the universe. He is the most powerful person I have ever seen. One of the martial arts practitioners."

"It's a pity that he is dead now. Otherwise, I would have to ask him for advice. My skills are somewhat lacking. I hope he can give me some advice!"

"Senior Yandi, do you mean that the Yandi Cauldron is also sealed in this space?"

The Empress of Jiu Xuan looked at the old man and was a little excited. Although she was the Empress of Jiu Xuan Kingdom, she had never seen Emperor Yan before.

As the totem of Jiuxuan Kingdom, Emperor Yan had great respect for him. When she heard the old man's words, she was naturally extremely excited.

"good!"

The old man nodded and said, "The Flame Emperor Cauldron is indeed sealed in this space. My inherited memory tells me that only by gathering one of the four top flames and being able to control them can the seal be unlocked and leave this space!"

He looked at Lin Chen and said: "Boy, you can control the four top flames, which means you are a miracle. However, I don't believe there are so many miracles in this world. If you want to leave here, it is not luck! And! It’s your potential!”

He stared at Lin Chen with burning eyes.

"Oh?" Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Senior, what you mean is that it is possible for me to defeat the genius who was reincarnated by Emperor Yan?"

"That's right." The old man nodded and said: "Your talent is far beyond ordinary people, and is not much worse than my original master. But you lack one thing, and that is the understanding of martial arts!"

"As a cultivator, you should know that if you want to improve your realm and spiritual power, you need to comprehend various mysteries, but you cannot comprehend the rules of heaven and earth! Only by comprehending the rules of heaven and earth can you take the most critical step, step into the realm of transformation. Divine Realm!”

"I have been observing you for a long time and found that you have a special physique and an extremely profound understanding of the laws of fire. You may be able to gain some kind of understanding through the illusion in the Flame Emperor Tower, and thus cross the last step and enter the realm of divine transformation!"

After hearing this, Empress Jiuxuan showed a look of surprise on her face.

She was not stupid, and she quickly understood what the old man meant.

Although Lin Chen is very strong, he does not have any experience in cultivation. It is still difficult to break through to the realm of transformation.

If the phantom in the Yandi Tower helps, then a lot of time will undoubtedly be saved!

And, not only that, Lin Chen is also an alchemist, and his alchemy skills are also very strong. If he becomes his disciple, he can get his help!

Thinking of this, Empress Jiuxuan's beautiful eyes glowed, and she looked at Lin Chen and said: "Senior Yan Emperor is right, your talent is extremely strong, and your future achievements are limitless!"

Lin Chen's thoughts turned and he made a decision in his heart. He looked at the old man and said, "Senior, I agree to accept a disciple! But I have a condition."

"What conditions?" the old man asked.

Empress Jiuxuan also looked at Lin Chen expectantly.

Lin Chen said: "I don't like to be restrained, and I don't want to be restrained by others. Therefore, I hope you, Empress Jiuxuan, will not force you to force me!"

Empress Jiuxuan frowned and said, "Do you think I will make any intimidation move against you?"

Lin Chen shrugged and said, "I don't know if you will coerce me. Anyway, you are my wife. This is an indisputable fact. I don't think there is any trust between us!"

The pretty face of the Nine Profound Queen turned red, and she glared at Lin Chen: "I am the Queen of the Nine Profound Kingdom. How could I coerce others!"

"That's good. In this case, I am not afraid of you coercing me." Lin Chen spread his hands and said, "In short, I don't want to be controlled by others."

The face of the Nine Profound Queen changed for a while, and finally said: "I won't force you. As long as you help me sincerely, I will never treat you unfairly!"

She glanced at the storage bag hanging on Lin Chen's chest and said: "Your storage bag is of a high grade. What material is it made of?"

Lin Chen said: "It is made of meteorite iron."

Meteorite iron is a rare ore, which is much harder than ordinary rocks. It can be melted into weapons to make them sharp, and it can also be forged into armor.

Although Lin Chen's storage bag is made of meteorite iron, its grade has reached the middle grade spiritual weapon, which is priceless!

"I see."

The Nine Mysterious Empress nodded, looked at Lin Chen and said, "I can allow you to stay in this Yan Emperor Tower and wait for your opportunity. As long as you are willing to assist me, after I ascend the throne, I will appoint you as the Yan Empire's National Master and take charge of the Yan Emperor Legion!"

"Yan Empire National Master!"

The old man was stunned. Obviously, he didn't know what the Yan Empire National Master represented.

However, Lin Chen knew that the status of the Yan Empire National Master was comparable to that of an ordinary frontier official. In the imperial capital, he was definitely a person who could shake the imperial capital three times with just one stomp of his feet.

"What do you think?" The Nine Mysterious Empress asked again.

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Sorry, I refuse!"

"Why?"

The Nine Mysterious Empress was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Lin Chen to refuse directly.

The old man also looked at Lin Chen in surprise. In his opinion, Lin Chen was just lucky. If he hadn't happened to meet him, he would not be able to enter the Yan Emperor Tower at all.

And if he joined the Yan Empire, with the identity of the descendant of the Yan Emperor, then he would be the father-in-law of the Yan Empire in the future!

"No reason." Lin Chen said indifferently.

"Humph! You don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"

The Nine Mysterious Empress snorted coldly and looked at the old man, "Father, you see..."

The old man waved his hand and sighed, "Since he chose to stay here, he naturally has his reasons, so we won't force him."

He looked at Lin Chen and said, "Boy, you are a smart man, you should know what is the best choice! Don't worry, I will send a special maid to take care of you. However, if you break your promise, then I will make you live a life worse than death!"

There was a strong threat in his tone.

Lin Chen did not comment.

"Father, let's go find the Yan Emperor Tower and see what is inside!" The Nine Mysterious Empress said excitedly.

She was indeed very eager to get the secrets of the Yan Emperor Tower. After all, if she got the treasure there, then she would be able to rule the entire continent.

Lin Chen followed the Nine Mysterious Empress and the old man into the palace and walked towards the deepest part.

The interior of the palace was extremely spacious and empty, with nothing inside. There was only an altar in the center, and above the altar was a fist-sized, red bead like a fire crystal.

This bead was exactly the ‘Holy Flame of All Things’ that Lin Chen was looking for!

At this moment, the Nine Mysterious Empress stared at the ‘Holy Flame of All Things’ with an excited look.

The old man stood beside her and said to Lin Chen: “This Holy Flame of All Things was left for you by the Emperor Yan. If you take it away, it will be considered as a reward!”
