Answers to All Questions

Ever since the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor led the Outer Realm Evil Clan to surrender, the living beings of the entire Great Thousand World have been restless, and this has continued for several years without ceasing.

The most talked-about aspect is that the Immortal Great Emperor Reincarnation, Great Thousand World no longer needed to worry about the indelible demonic souls of the Outer Realm Evil Clan. The power of heaven and earth would actively absorb those demonic souls and purify their Demonic Qi.

In addition, Xiao Yan's name being recorded on the Sky Ranking also caused quite a stir.

Although it was common knowledge that Xiao Yan was able to contact the Sky Ranking, many people were still deeply moved when Xiao Yan actually took that step.

Among them, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor is the most outstanding.

Of course, the reactions of the Outer Realm Evil Clan are minor matters. In this Great Thousand World, what matters more is that Xiao Yan now has several more unfamiliar Heavenly Sovereign by his side.

Because the Great Thousand Alliance takes place once every thousand years, it requires the Heavenly Sovereign to gather and manipulate the Great Thousand Demon-Slaying Array to obliterate the Life Origin of the Heavenly Evil God. Therefore, the Heavenly Sovereign are basically recorded in the annals.

Unexpectedly, after a sea of fire that blotted out the sky burned for more than half a year, eight more Heavenly Sovereign appeared by Xiao Yan's side.

Although they are all only Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign, their unique way of appearing makes people wonder if these eight people are from Xiao Yan's hometown, that magical Lower Plane.

A new wave of enthusiasm has emerged, and one of the most puzzling things is: what kind of Lower Plane is the Dou Qi Continent? Why can it nurture so many powerful individuals?

Just as countless beings were discussing and eager to understand the mysteries of the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan casually opened the Dou Qi Continent dimensional passage, allowing anyone who reached the Sovereign Realm in the Great Thousand World to go there for training.

Of course, even the Earthly Sovereign is not allowed to enter.

Judging from the realm alone, the Sovereign Realm and the Dou Zun Realm of the Dou Qi Continent are not much different, and the Half-Step Earthly Sovereign is roughly equivalent to the Half-Saint, so they are basically on equal footing.

However, Spiritual Power is more condensed than Dou Qi, and the Sovereign also cultivates the Sovereign Dharma Form, a killer move. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat power of a half-step Earthly Sovereign is comparable to that of Dou Sheng Expert in the Dou Qi Continent.

When powerful individuals of this caliber clash, the aftershocks of their battles can easily spread over a radius of a thousand miles. If the impact were any greater, the damage to the Dou Qi Continent would be far too great.

Of course, considering that there are too many Sovereign Realm in the Great Thousand World, in order to prevent Dou Qi Continent from becoming too crowded and resulting in too little gain for the participants, and also to make up for the burden that the massive number of outsiders put on the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan will charge each Sovereign Realm expert who wants to go to the Dou Qi Continent a fee based on their strength.

A first-grade Sovereign needs to pay 10,000 drops of Sovereign Spirit Liquid, a second-grade Supreme 20,000, and so on. A half-step Earthly Sovereign, having touched the domain of Earthly Sovereign, has combat power that cannot be generalized and needs to pay 200,000 drops of Sovereign Spirit Liquid.

As for the number of spots, Xiao Yan plans to open up 10,000 spots, just to easily earn a few small profits...

One year later, on a wide plaza in the Fire Domain Continent.

"The Fire Domain Continent was originally an ordinary continent, but it had an extraordinary fate—it was utterly destroyed in the battle between the Flame Emperor and many Heavenly Demon Emperors."

"It is said that in that battle, Flame Emperor Yan was besieged by eight Heavenly Demon Emperors."

"Out of caution, Flame Emperor immediately sought help from the renowned Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign of the Great Thousand World. However, by the time the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign arrived, the original continent had already disappeared, and six of the eight Heavenly Demon Emperors had been reduced to ashes by Flame Emperor, with even their demonic souls becoming objects in Flame Emperor's hands."

"In the overwhelming sea of fire, only the two most powerful Heavenly Demon Emperor, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor and the Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor, were left, barely holding on until the Flame Emperor's reinforcements arrived."

"Flame Emperor Yan deeply felt that the two had not cultivated for a long time, so he decided to give them a chance and accept the surrender of the Outer Realm Evil Clan."

"The Dark Heavenly Demon Emperor still wanted to resist, but the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor had already been impressed by Xiao Yan's magnanimity and was willing to repent and let Flame Emperor deal with him."

"This continent, which witnessed the victory in the war, therefore has a special significance."

"Flame Emperor reshaped the continent with his supreme power. The entire continent was transformed from the flames Flame Emperor controlled. Even the sun, moon, and stars hanging in the sky contained the will of Flame Emperor."

In the center of the square, a long snake, thousands of feet long, with its body covered in tiny, inch-sized scales, split at the neck and bearing nine heads, was talking animatedly. It exuded a chilling and ferocious aura.

Before it stood thousands upon thousands of obedient children, all Sovereign Realm experts. These young people from various powerful forces looked at the long snake with envy, as if they themselves were the one who had defeated everyone in the world.

In reality, even though Xiao Yan charged a "ticket" that was of a high level for the Sovereign Realm, even Earthly Sovereign could grit his teeth and pay for the Sovereign Spirit Liquid needed by his Sovereign Realm experts.

Even those Sovereign who missed the deadline due to late registration all settled down in the Fire Domain Continent, waiting for the next opportunity.

This plaza is built beneath a whirlpool that is hundreds of feet in size.

The center of the vortex was a fixed, circular cavity several tens of feet wide, surrounded by a dark ring dotted with countless bright silver specks, giving it an overall dark silver appearance.

If anyone looks into that vortex, they will be drawn into it without realizing it. In their daze, they will be completely unaware of the passage of time and will be unable to extricate themselves from the mystery of time and space until their physical body decays.

Only those who have reached the Heavenly Sovereign level can detect the anomaly. The people in the square each hold a Jade Slip with a concave center as a "pass" to isolate themselves from the fluctuations of the vortex.

Even Yao Xiaotian, who was boasting loudly in the center of the square, was no exception.

Besides the crowd in the square, on the high platform in the distance, many Heavenly Sovereign were staring at the Nine-Headed Serpent, each one clicking their tongues in amazement.

The vortex involving the power of time was already beyond their comprehension, and they were powerless to delve into it. But this new Divine Beast was a different story.

In this Great Thousand World, if a snake-like spirit beast wants to evolve into Divine Beast, it basically needs to gravitate towards the Dragon Clan, activate the True Dragon bloodline within its body, and gradually grow dragon horns and claws, first transforming into a flood dragon, and then into True Dragon.

But this Nine-Headed Serpent is clearly the pinnacle in another direction, like the progenitor of all serpentine mythical beasts.

Although it was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, the Bloodline Power, the chilling power that seemed to freeze even the soul, and the ferocious aura of a top predator created a sense of oppression no less than that of any True Dragon.

No one doubts that, given enough time, this Nine-Headed Serpent will be able to break through to the Heavenly Sovereign realm, its bloodline will become even stronger, and it will become Super Divine Beast of the Great Thousand World.

This unique bloodline, not recorded in the Divine Beast Ranking, greatly intrigued the Heavenly Sovereign. In addition, the Dragon Phoenix, currently ranked first on the Great Thousand World Divine Beast Ranking, also originated from the Dou Qi Continent. Among the Sovereign in the square, there were also many young talents from Divine Beast races.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was also on the other side of the Fire Domain Continent, in a volcano far away from the square, and did not listen to Yao Xiaotian's boasting.

Originally, Yao Xiaotian had just broken through to the Seven Star Dou Sheng and was not on the list of people Xiao Yan was going to bring to the Great Thousand World.

However, after careful consideration, Yao Xiaotian believed that it would take a long time to reach the Peak Dou Saint, and with his poor soul talent, it would take even longer to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul. Reaching Dou Emperor was a distant prospect.

Therefore, Yao Xiaotian simply gave up competing for the Origin Qi, even abandoning the Nine Nether Nether Python Clan, and followed in Xiao Yan's footsteps to the Great Thousand World.

Since Xiao Yan was short of people to manage the specific matters, he handed over those Sovereign to Yao Xiaotian for placement. As a result, Yao Xiaotian just sat in the square and spent his days boasting about Xiao Yan's various deeds.

It just so happens that the name of Flame Emperor is already a legendary existence in the Great Thousand World. Now, with a snake telling the story of how Flame Emperor Yan gradually rose to the top, everyone listens to it with genuine respect. As a result, they admire Xiao Yan, who came from humble beginnings, even more.

As for Xiao Yan himself, he felt that the burning gazes of his many fans were unbearable, and the meaningful gazes of those familiar Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign were like sharp blades piercing his back, so he simply immersed himself in the lava to cultivate in hardship.

Yao Xiaotian took Xiao Yan's tacit approval of his actions as the reason. After inquiring about the Yan Flame Emperor's reputation in the Dou Qi Continent, he began to fabricate miracles and boast even more, just like a responsible pope proclaiming the god he believed in.

Just as Yao Xiaotian continued to boast about how magnanimous Flame Emperor was in forgiving the Outer Realm Evil Clan, the Glazed Great Sun that had been shrouding the Fire Domain Continent suddenly trembled, and then a black and white flame appeared out of thin air.

Before the man could speak, Yao Xiaotian, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the square, suddenly opened his nine large mouths and roared, "Chirp!"

A ripple spread, and the space trembled at the roar, but the black and white flames completely ignored the attack. A figure emerged from it, also ignoring the Nine-Headed Serpent in the center of the square and the Sovereign, and said softly, "Where is the Flame Emperor? I have urgent business to discuss with him!"

Although it was spoken softly, the sound waves carried a hidden Soul Power, wandering through the Fire Domain Continent, and finally stopping in front of a volcano before reaching Xiao Yan's ears.

However, before Xiao Yan could even step out, a sharp retort rang out from the plaza.

"How dare you! Who do you think you are? You think you can just come and see my master whenever you want!"

Yao Xiaotian's eighteen cold, triangular eyes fixed on the person with a restrained aura. Although he didn't recognize him or know his strength, Yao Xiaotian remained calm and launched an attack without hesitation.

The reason is simple: powerful individuals who are familiar with Xiao Yan have communication Jade Slip to contact him. Therefore, there are only two possibilities for a powerful stranger who suddenly barges in.

Firstly, he lacked the strength and had never met Xiao Yan, so he desperately needed Xiao Yan's help, which is why he acted rashly. Secondly, someone he didn't get along with came to cause trouble.

Given the unusual behavior that caused the Glazed Great Sun to react, it is most likely the latter. Since they are here to cause trouble, isn't this the perfect time to show their loyalty?

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor froze, not expecting that a mere Earthly Sovereign would dare to be so arrogant. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared at Yao Xiaotian, his mind racing with hundreds of ways to cook long worms.

Yao Xiaotian felt an overwhelming terror between life and death envelop him, his soul trembling, but his nine heads still stood proudly raised, meeting the gaze of the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor took a deep breath, no longer confronting this ant. He glanced at the many Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign staring at him, and his figure gradually faded as he traversed space to arrive at the volcano where Xiao Yan was.

"Flame Emperor, I respect your unparalleled strength and magnanimity, and I have voluntarily surrendered. Why do you allow your subordinates to humiliate me?" the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor said to the volcano.

After a few breaths, Xiao Yan stepped out of the volcano and looked at the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor with some surprise, saying:

"Using the Saint Demon Flame as a foundation, first cultivating Spiritual Power on top of the Demonic Qi in one's body, and then gradually transforming it completely, is not a bad approach—those supreme beings who cultivate the Sovereign of Life-and-Death Dharma Form, aren't they actually people from your Saint Demon Clan?"

"..." The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's pupils shrank slightly, but he did not panic. He said calmly, "They have already switched to cultivating Spiritual Power. Does the Flame Emperor not consider them human beings?"

"If I don't treat them like human beings, they won't have a chance to get the 'pass' at all," Xiao Yan shrugged.

The little incident brought up by Yao Xiaotian was thus put aside, and both of them acted as if it had never happened. The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor congratulated Xiao Yan on leaving his name on the Sky Ranking, and Xiao Yan also congratulated the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor on successfully switching to Spiritual Power cultivation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor pondered and said, "I vaguely sensed recently that the Great Thousand World is no longer as hostile to outsiders as it used to be. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse?"

Xiao Yan roughly understood the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor's purpose and casually said, "Not being rejected is certainly a good thing."

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor shook his head repeatedly, saying, "After that, I wanted to meet the Heavenly Saint God again, but I was stopped by the Lord of Immortality. The Flame Emperor was not there at the time, but the Flame Emperor and the Immortal Great Emperor were of equal cultivation. Surely the Immortal Great Emperor wouldn't disrespect the Flame Emperor?"

"The Immortal Great Emperor is dead. In a way, I was the one who caused his death, wasn't I?" Xiao Yan said with a face full of sorrow.

Strictly speaking, if Xiao Yan hadn't explained the matter of Reincarnation to the Immortal Great Emperor and hadn't been able to suppress the entire Outer Realm Evil Clan, the Immortal Great Emperor wouldn't have felt so ambitious and wanted to live another life and return to his peak.

Therefore, it's not unreasonable to say that Xiao Yan killed the Immortal Great Emperor.

"..." The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor did not reply. Although he tried his best to hide it, Xiao Yan still noticed. His cheeks twitched slightly, and his eyes widened even more, clearly indicating that he was deeply in doubt.

But Xiao Yan casually patted the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor on the shoulder, looked around and found no one there, then said softly, "I almost forgot the status of the Immortal Great Emperor in the Great Thousand World. I'm telling you, don't go around telling everyone, okay?"

The Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor nodded blankly, seemingly oblivious to whether he had taken it all in, and left with his mind a jumbled mess.

Originally, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor came to find Xiao Yan with answers in mind, hoping to obtain some information to confirm the specific situation of the Immortal Great Emperor and make preparations as soon as possible.

However, now, even the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor probably doesn't know what to do.
