"Peak six-star Da Dou Shi. Unfortunately, once I reached this level, data and the like had begun to lose their usefulness."
Yan Qingshan sensed the power within his body. That surging strength gave him an urge to destroy.
For the three realms of Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, and Da Dou Shi, Dou Qi underwent the successive processes of spinning into a vortex, liquefying, and solidifying into crystals.
A Da Dou Shi's Dou Qi became a Dou Crystal much like a magical beast's Magic Core, taking on a completely solid form. At this level, the data Yan Qingshan had previously relied upon no longer served much purpose.
Those who could become Da Dou Shi were generally middle- or upper-ranking figures within some faction. Even the worst-off among them had the means and strength to possess Profound-tier cultivation methods and Dou Techniques.
Yan Qingshan's own cultivation method was only Profound-tier High-grade, not much better than those of most Da Dou Shi. Moreover, the place he was about to go was filled with gifted experts, some of whom even possessed trump cards and inheritances at the Earth tier. His current methods desperately needed an upgrade!
As Yan Qingshan considered these matters, he rose to his feet. After calling out to the Two-headed Fire Spirit Snake, he strode out of the cave. Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth through fire—he had won that gamble. From this day onward, his potential would be entirely different.
As the sun set in the west, its lingering rays spilled down from the horizon. The cave, gradually falling silent, still retained some warmth. Countless gazes were fixed upon the cave entrance. Footsteps sounded, and a figure slowly emerged from within. Walking toward the setting sun, draped in crimson clouds, his bearing and presence became all the more dazzling.
"I'm fine now!"
