Dou Sheng Ruins
Gu Xun'er's lips curled up slightly. She hadn't meant to blame Xiao Yan, but his anxious behavior still made Gu Xun'er feel a little excited.
Straightening her legs, Gu Xun'er leaned back slightly and stretched, revealing her alluring curves. Then, with her slender fingers, she pinched a strand of hair and scratched Xiao Yan's nose. "Do you think I should accept your apology?"
Looking at Gu Xun'er's pretty face, which seemed both happy and annoyed, Xiao Yan's heart raced slightly. He involuntarily held his breath, afraid that his breath would hit that beautiful face.
Xiao Yan's mind became increasingly confused, but he felt that there was something more to Gu Xun'er's words. He tried to figure out the deeper meaning, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
Seeing Xiao Yan's embarrassed and reserved appearance, Gu Xun'er's face flushed slightly, and she gently reminded him, "I don't blame you for not being gentle enough before."
Xiao Yan seemed to understand, but he also grasped Xun'er's intentions to some extent. He gave up thinking and reached out to embrace Xun'er's slender waist, pulling her into his arms.
Gu Xun'er couldn't help but gasp, but she didn't resist. Her face flushed red as she leaned on Xiao Yan's shoulder, her head lowered, not daring to look at Xiao Yan.
Holding his sister in his arms and inhaling her faint fragrance, Xiao Yan's thoughts finally cleared. He held Xun'er's small hand, which was clenched tightly due to nervousness, and said softly, "I will be good to you from now on."
"Hmm..." Gu Xun'er responded softly, her voice barely audible, and snuggled closer to Xiao Yan's chest.
Stroking Xun'er's soft hand, Xiao Yan began to ponder how long it would take him to break through to the Dou Sheng...
Since arduous cultivation was pointless, Xiao Yan went straight to Burning Flame Valley to ask Tang Zhen for the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire that had been stored away for so long.
Tang Zhen did not refuse. During this time, he even erased most of the Blood Soul Mark unique to the Burning Flame Valley in the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire, just waiting for Xiao Yan to refine it.
It took Xiao Yan a full month to completely eliminate the Blood Soul Mark inside the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang Fire and then devour and refine it.
After Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion, Tang Zhen Xiao Yan invited him to explore the Dou Sheng Ruins together.
A Magical Beast clan discovered a blue flame capable of devouring Dou Qi and directly contacted Burning Flame Valley, attempting to establish a connection with the Ye Family and obtain some Form Transformation Pill.
After exploring the Burning Flame Valley and the Ye Family, they were astonished to discover that the blue flames were actually an external mechanism of some ruins, with a hidden world inside.
The two sides immediately blocked the news, established a base there, and used blue flames as raw materials to create the Prosperous Fire to deceive others. At the same time, they conducted a preliminary exploration of the ruins and found a library, confirming that this was a Dou Sheng Ruins built by the Creator Saint.
This ruin is extremely ancient and contains the wealth accumulated by that Dou Sheng Expert throughout his life. Even the Ye Family and Burning Flame Valley today cannot ignore it.
After recalling the events, Xiao Yan realized that besides the Small Space where the Peak Dou Saint Ancient Void Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix were buried, the most valuable items in the ruins were nothing more than Pill Beast, Heavenly Tier Dou Technique, and the Dou Sheng Skeleton...
Xiao Yan readily accepted Tang Zhen's invitation. After sending Soul Communication to Zi Yan, they headed together to the Dou Sheng Ruins.
If news of the Dou Sheng Ruins spreads widely, the Soul Hall will definitely interfere. If they see Xiao Yan, they will seal off the space and report it, inevitably leading to another Dou Sheng battle.
There's no problem now that the news hasn't spread; all we need to do is fend off the powerful Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
However, the location of this Dou Sheng Ruins is in the Beast Skeleton Mountain Range, which is within the territory of the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan. It is highly unlikely that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix would appear rashly there.
Although the area of Beast Region cannot compare with that of the Central Continent, it should not be underestimated. The endless mountain ranges are known as the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but the actual number is even more than one hundred thousand.
This Dou Sheng Ruins appeared in the Skeleton Mountain Range of the Beast Region, a continuous mountain range with a terrifying Bone Sea.
Countless Magical Beast skeletons were left here, and as time passed, these skeletons would gradually emit the strange Beast Power contained within them.
This energy has no effect on humans, but it is a good supplement for Magical Beast. Therefore, the Skeleton Mountain Range has become a favorite gathering place for many Magical Beasts.
Upon arriving here, Xiao Yan immediately discovered a Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, which he then plunged into the endless skeletons and swallowed whole.
This situation left Tang Zhen speechless, unsure of what to say.
The group quickly arrived at the hilltop near the ruins, reaching the stronghold established by the Ye Family and the Burning Flame Valley.
Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yan was shocked to find that his disciple Gu He was arguing with an old man who exuded a chilling aura.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You've already given up this ruin! Everything inside should belong to us!"
"Master Gu is being a bit too greedy. From beginning to end, we only handed over the area where the blue flame was located to you. As for the other things in the ruins, that's fine. The Heavenly Tier Dou Technique naturally belong to our Nine Nether Nether Python Clan."
The argument between the two temporarily ceased with the arrival of the newcomers, and the old man immediately revealed a fierce glint in his eyes. "Are you trying to force me to retreat? We, the Nine Nether Nether Python, are not lacking in strong individuals!"
"Give him the Heavenly Tier Dou Technique; it's not anything particularly valuable." Xiao Yan's casual remark left the old man speechless.
His fierce gaze froze instantly, followed by a deep sense of confusion: What did he mean by "not something valuable"?
What other treasures are hidden in these ruins that the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan hasn't discovered yet?
Just as the old man was questioning the meaning of life, Gu He rushed up to Xiao Yan, his face full of bitterness, and said, "Teacher, that's still Heavenly Tier Dou Technique!"
"I know, isn't that something you can just buy by refining an Eighth Grade Pill? Why ruin the harmony?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.
"Haha, my apologies, so you are Master Gu's teacher. You must be the legendary Pill Gathering Champion, Master Xiao Yan, right?" The old man's eyes lit up immediately, even more excited than Gu He, and he moved closer, pushing Gu He aside.
"As far as I know, ever since the Nine Netherworld Python Clan had its Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire taken away by the Yan Clan, it seems to have been plagued by bloodline inconsistencies?" Xiao Yan asked.
The old man's cheek twitched. Being exposed about his past upon meeting him made him very embarrassed, but it was the truth. In addition, with the powerful figures beside Xiao Yan, he couldn't retaliate.
Overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, the old man's face contorted for a moment.
"You must have heard of the Formation I set up in Ye City. Recently, I was fortunate enough to obtain a Myriad Beast Spirit Flame. Combined with the endless Beast Power contained in this Skeleton Mountain Range, it may be able to temper the bloodline of your Nine Netherworld Python Clan." Xiao Yan did not give the old man a chance to react and delivered another heavy punch to his heart.
