Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey

The process of absorbing the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame went incredibly smoothly, much smoother than Kurumi had imagined!

In her mind, taming such a top-tier flame should involve numerous trials. Was the pure bloodline of the Gu Clan so attractive to it?

Though she couldn't fathom it, Kurumi did manage to absorb the entire Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame into her body. However, with her current strength, merely summoning it was exhausting, let alone using it in battle.

"Xun'er, close your eyes."

Kurumi and Xun'er interlaced their fingers as the golden sea of flames surged around them, constantly distorting space.

What she was about to do was extremely dangerous—dividing the origin of a flame she hadn't fully mastered!

Kurumi activated her bloodline power, tightly gripping Xun'er's fingers. Small cuts appeared, linking their bloodlines together. They moved closer, their foreheads touching.

The golden sea of flames flowed around them, gradually forming a vortex!

Since they were twins, their bloodlines shared the same origin. Though the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame had consciousness, it wasn't particularly intelligent.

Kurumi intended to use their twin connection to deceive the flame!

The flame's origin was split in two. Surprisingly, the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame showed no reaction as the origin flowed through the bloodline into Xun'er.

No reaction... it worked!

Kurumi's face lit up, but the side effects of splitting the flame's origin hit her instantly! Her face turned as pale as a sheet!

Moreover, her bloodline power was being rapidly absorbed by Xun'er. Her vision darkened, surrounded by specks of starlight, as she felt her consciousness fading...

Her eyes shot open! Xun'er couldn't yet suppress the half-origin of the flame within her. Kurumi fought against the encroaching darkness, channeling the essence of her bloodline into Xun'er!

As long as her bloodline could appease the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, its quality didn't matter. Whether it was divine or not was irrelevant.

After all, outside the barrier, she had a vast amount of original power. With enough treasures, she could restore her bloodline at any time!

But Gu Yuan didn't know this! He saw his most talented daughter dividing her origin for her sister and "helping" refine her bloodline!

His face darkened, as if ready to drip black water. Xun'er was his daughter too, and he loved both his girls deeply.

Reflected in his eyes was Kurumi's deathly pale face. Gu Yuan's powerful Dou Qi wavered slightly!

He couldn't intervene. In this situation, a single misstep could be fatal for his daughters. Gu Yuan could only prepare elixirs and watch the center of the golden vortex closely.

Unlike her sister's pale face, Xun'er looked increasingly rosy, as if lightly blushed, incredibly alluring.

She felt the warmth from the flame flowing from her sister into her body, enveloping her in a comforting warmth.

Relaxing, Xun'er felt incredibly happy, happier than when eating malt sugar.

But when the bloodline power surged within her, Xun'er's face stiffened.

'What is this warmth? My sister's bloodline power!'

A look of bewilderment crossed Xun'er's face. Even though her sister had called her a little fool countless times, she knew how important bloodline power was!

The clan saints continually praised her sister for her potent bloodline power.

But now...

Xun'er's face paled slightly from fear. She couldn't break the bloodline link between them! She had always admired her sister but never wanted to steal her bloodline power like this!

She wanted to be praised by the elders, but not this way!

"Relax! Don't think about anything else!"

Xun'er shuddered, her lips trembling. Her sister had never spoken so harshly to her before.

The bloodline power within her formed a vital dragon, nourishing every meridian in her body. Even the half-origin of the flame settled quietly within her.

Seeing Kurumi's bloodless face, Xun'er couldn't hold back her tears, her body resisting the bloodline transfer.

"Sister, let go! Waaaah~ Sister... Sister!"

Kurumi heard Xun'er's cries, her consciousness slipping into darkness.

Gu Yuan, his face stern, stepped into the golden vortex. The surrounding sea of flames grew more violent. With its monarch absent, the flames seemed to mourn, knowing they would soon vanish without the flame's original power.

With her sister unconscious, Xun'er was at a loss. Seeing her father, she couldn't contain her fear any longer, breaking into sobs.

"Father! Save sister... sister!" Xun'er cried, tears falling into the sea of flames.

"It's all Xun'er's fault! Waaaah! I don't want the flame anymore!..."

Gu Yuan wrapped Kurumi in his powerful Dou Qi, feeling the poor condition of her body. His face grew even darker.

Taking an elixir from his space ring, he carefully fed it to Kurumi. Gentle Dou Qi circulated through her meridians, calming the violent bloodline power.

"Stop crying!"

Xun'er's crying irritated Gu Yuan slightly, and he scolded her softly.

The obedient girl immediately stopped crying, but her large eyes remained filled with tears, occasionally spilling over.

With both girls protected, Gu Yuan tore open space and left in one step. The golden sea of flames grew even more tumultuous!

"Patriarch!"

The crowd saw Gu Yuan nod lightly before disappearing into the sky.

They exchanged glances, finally focusing on the middle-aged man.

"Saint, what do you think...?"

The man smiled, "The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame has chosen its master, though which young miss is so fortunate remains to be seen."

Everyone smiled, discussing what gifts to send. As for which young miss it was? That was obvious.

"Judging by the patriarch's expression, the process of taming the flame didn't go smoothly for the young miss."

The black-robed semi-saint laughed heartily, clearly in a good mood. "Taming a heavenly flame is never easy. For a young miss to succeed at such a young age is unique on the continent!"

Others chimed in, "Truly a prodigy! Our clan will surely remain at the top of the ancient eight clans for another millennium!"

Smiles adorned their faces, but their minds were active. With Miss Mo'er's talent, her coming-of-age ceremony would undoubtedly shock the continent!

And that day would be when the clan's young elites would showcase their abilities!
