What? You Say He's Wind Venerable of Starfall Pavilion's Disciple?

The name Wind and Thunder Pavilion East Pavilion carries considerable weight even in the entire Central State. As the headquarters of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, it is filled with powerful figures and its defenses are impregnable. Over the years since the establishment of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, it has experienced many trials and tribulations, but East Pavilion has always stood firm. Its reputation has gradually emerged from those past power struggles, and only then did it achieve its current status.

The Wind and Thunder Pavilion East Pavilion is located in the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range on the edge of the Northern Region. This area is quite peculiar. Perhaps due to its high altitude, thunder rumbles constantly, and the weather is unpredictable. One moment the sun is shining brightly, and the next moment there may be a thunderstorm.

On the Thunder Throne in the East Pavilion sat a man. He was quite tall and looked to be only about forty or fifty years old, but he had a wisp of silver-white beard on his chin. He wore a silver robe covered with lightning patterns that looked like living things from afar, constantly flowing and with a faint aura of thunder emanating from them.

In the main hall below stood a silver figure. His face looked quite young, but his hair was mixed with some white, giving him a hint of old age. Most surprisingly, he had a pair of extremely rare silver-white eyes.

"Fei Tian, explain yourself. During this period, our Wind and Thunder Pavilion has completely lost face because of your North Pavilion."

As Thunder Venerable's voice resounded, thunder roared, carrying an extremely terrifying pressure. Even Fei Tian, who had now reached the Peak Dou Zong, felt an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Sect Master, based on my investigation over the past few days, I've discovered that the power behind Xiao Yuan is probably not simple!"

Fei Tian's reluctance to make a move was certainly not due to Xiao Yuan's fighting prowess.

After the three elders of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion died, he went directly to Tianbei City, concealed his presence, and secretly investigated.

"Oh? You mean the Starfall Pavilion? I've heard rumors that he's Wind Venerable's disciple? Heh, in all these years, I've never heard of Wind Venerable having such a disciple! As for that Seventh Grade Alchemist, that's utter nonsense. Wind Venerable doesn't even know how to refine pills, how could he possibly teach a seventh-grade alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, Thunder Venerable sneered.

"Sect Master, not only that, before returning, I went to the auction held by the Han Clan a couple of days ago and bought several pills that were said to be refined by Xiao Yuan. I have already had the alchemists in the pavilion examine them, and they are indeed of the seventh grade without a doubt. Moreover, the quality of the pills is extremely good, and the technique is superb. To have such alchemy skills at such a young age, he must have been guided by Eighth-Tier- grade Alchemic Grandmaster. Furthermore, he should possess Heavenly Flames. I also discovered this during my investigation in Tianbei City. It is said that Xiao Yuan controls a dark golden flame."

However, in that ranking of Heavenly Flames, only the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and the seventh-ranked Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire are golden in color. Considering his terrifying combat power, it is indeed only Heavenly Flames of this ranking that can amplify his combat power so much. Even if I encountered that level of flame, I would find it difficult to resist, yet he was able to subdue it. If it were up to his own strength, it would be most likely impossible. There must be a powerful figure secretly helping him.

Furthermore, according to descriptions from some powerful figures in Tianbei City, Xiao Yuan seems to have used a secret technique to amplify his strength. Judging from the effects of the technique they described, I suspect he used the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations from Burning Flame Valley! Moreover, he seems to possess another method to increase his strength, though I don't know what that method is, but it could raise his strength to around the Eight Star Dou Zong. At the same time, he seems to have some resistance to lightning-attribute attacks. The Pavilion Master should know that even I would find it difficult to break through the formation and kill everyone when Wind, Thunder, and Lightning Three Elders, and Dian led so many disciples. That kid's combat power is probably no less than mine.

That's why I didn't take action and rushed back to consult the Pavilion Master. After all, this Xiao Yuan is indeed no ordinary person. At only twenty years old, he's Dou Zong, Seventh Grade Alchemist, and his background is quite mysterious. The Starfall Pavilion alone is already enough to give our Wind and Thunder Pavilion a major headache. If he also has the Burning Flame Valley and the Danta behind him, it will be even more troublesome!"

Fei Tian said with a serious expression.

If Xiao Yuan had only defeated the people of the North Pavilion and was unable to pursue them, he could have simply charged in without a second thought. However, he not only defeated the formation set up by so many powerful people from the North Pavilion, but also killed all the members of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion who had mastered the Three Thousand Lightning Movement.

Even he was extremely wary of such methods. Moreover, although Xiao Yuan's secret technique only raised his strength to the Eight Star Dou Zong level, with the power of the top ten Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, his ability to confront them head-on was probably stronger than he had imagined.

Not to mention, he also had a female Dou Zong who was dominating Hong Tianxiao.

If a fight really breaks out, even if he uses his Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body, he probably won't gain much of an advantage.

"But these are just speculations, not evidence."

Thunder Venerable shook his head, feeling that Fei Tian's words were not very convincing.

"Alright, I'll ask Wind Venerable. As for Burning Flame Valley and Danta, let's just pretend we don't know about them for now."

However, after a little thought, Thunder Venerable decided to play it safe.

After all, Wind Venerable has been famous for a long time. Although he has openly taken a young girl from the Azure Luan Tribe as his disciple, it is not surprising that he has been hiding such a disciple in secret all along.

Of course, Thunder Venerable was more worried about whether Xiao Yuan was related to the Danta.

He wouldn't take an ordinary Dou Zong seriously, but if it's a Seventh Grade Alchemist, so young, with that level of Heavenly Flames, and if it's really related to the Danta, it would probably involve the three giants of the Danta, who are all Dou Zun Peak experts. Although the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is said to be one of the Four Directions Pavilion among the One Tower, One Hall, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion, it is not qualified to compare with the Danta in terms of size and strength.

The thought that this young man might actually be related to the Danta gave Thunder Venerable a headache.

No wonder Fei Tian didn't dare to act rashly. If Xiao Yuan were really a disciple of any of the Pill Tower Three Giants, not to mention Fei Tian, even Thunder Venerable wouldn't dare to make a move against Xiao Yuan at this time.

He didn't want to die in vain.

After thinking it over, he decided to contact Wind Venerable. He then took out the Space Jade Slip slip he used for communication.

"Have you heard? The Han Clan of Tianbei City has been quite remarkable lately. First, their patriarch Han Chi, broke through to the Dou Zong. Then, he married his two beautiful daughters to a young man named Xiao Yuan. This man is no ordinary person. It is said that he is a Seventh Grade Alchemist and a disciple of Wind Venerable, the master of the Starfall Pavilion!"

Inside an inn on the Northern Region of the Central Plains, some people were eating and chatting in the lobby.

"What? He's actually Seventh Grade Alchemist? The Han Clan is about to become rich!"

Upon hearing this, some people who were not well-informed exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, what this brother said isn't entirely correct. It seems he's just arrived in our Northern Region of the Central Plains and has only heard some rumors from others, right?"

Immediately afterwards, someone else spoke up with a smile, the deeper meaning in their tone quite intriguing.

"Oh? You know the details?"

Upon hearing this, the person who spoke first turned around and asked curiously.

"Of course! I just passed through Tianbei City half a month ago and got all the first-hand information!"

This person clearly enjoys keeping people in suspense; after saying two sentences, they didn't get straight to the point.

"Please explain further, brother!"

Upon hearing this, many people around also echoed his sentiments.

The Central State has never lacked geniuses, but recently, the name Xiao Yuan has become famous throughout the Northern Region.

Even looking at the whole of Central State, its reputation is not weak.

Therefore, anyone who comes to the Northern Region will soon learn of the significance of the name Xiao Yuan through casual conversation.

"This matter begins with the two great families of Tianbei City, the Han Clan and the Hong Clan."

Next, Hong Chen joined the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and gradually rose in status. The Hong Clan took advantage of this to pressure the Han Clan, using forced marriage to gradually erode the Han Clan's power. Xiao Yuan descended from the sky, single-handedly shattering the Hong Clan, then beheading Shen Yun of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and subsequently killing three Dou Zong elders, twenty-three Dou Emperor, and forty-six Dou Wang, achieving the terrifying feat of directly destroying the Wind and Thunder North Pavilion.

After that, Fei Tian, North Pavilion Master Wind and Thunder Pavilion, remained silent, while Han Chi, the head of the Han Clan, broke through to the Dou Zong realm and announced his intention to marry his two beautiful daughters to Xiao Yuan, the Young Pavilion Master Starfall Pavilion, who was rumored to have reached the Dou Zong realm at a young age, Seventh Grade Alchemist, and had terrifying combat power. At the auction hosted by the Han Clan, he sold a variety of Grade 7 Pill, confirming Xiao Yuan's identity as Seventh Grade Alchemist.

"Is this Xiao Yuan truly Seventh Grade Alchemist, or a disciple of Wind Venerable?"

A gust of wind blew by, and an old man appeared in a corner of the hall at some unknown time. He was dressed in a green robe, and his long hair was draped over his shoulders. He looked quite carefree. His appearance was not ordinary. Even though he was old now, one could still vaguely see a handsome look. It is conceivable that he must have been good-looking when he was young. His aura was also somewhat ethereal and uncertain, giving people a strange and unpredictable feeling.

Upon seeing the old man's extraordinary bearing and mysterious aura, the people in the hall immediately realized that his strength must have surpassed that of their Dou Zong experts.

"Senior is a Dou Zong level expert, so you must be curious about Xiao Yuan, who has reached the Seventh Grade Alchemist at such a young age, right? He should still be in Tianbei City right now. Senior can go to Tianbei City directly to take a look. With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to meet Mr. Xiao Yuan."

Upon hearing this, the man who had previously recounted Xiao Yuan's general resume after arriving in Central State politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"So, this Xiao Yuan really is Wind Venerable's disciple? I remember Wind Venerable only accepted one female disciple, right?"

The old man in the green robe asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know. Even if they aren't, they must have a good relationship. Otherwise, if Wind Venerable heard about it, wouldn't it cause a great disaster? But now that you mention it, I do remember something. Xiao Yuan claims to be the disciple of the Starfall Pavilion Master, but everyone knows that the disciple of the Starfall Pavilion Master is none other than Wind Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, the man frowned and said somewhat uncertainly.

"What did you say? He said he's a disciple of the Starfall Pavilion Master?"

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the eyes of the old man in blue. In a flash, he appeared in front of the man. His Dou Qi was out of control and fluctuated uncontrollably. In an instant, an incomparably powerful aura suppressed the entire hall into silence. Feeling that terrifying pressure, many people trembled.

This old man is probably already at the Peak Dou Zong, or even a super strong expert who is halfway to the Dou Zun level, right? "Senior."

The man, who was closest to the old man, was almost suffocating from the pressure and spoke with some difficulty.

Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to realize what was happening. He immediately withdrew his oppressive aura and then asked, "Are you sure he said he's the disciple of the Starfall Pavilion Master?!"

"Yes, senior, I heard it with my own ears at the auction. Xiao Yuan said it himself. His teacher is the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, and his alchemy skills are inherited from the Pill Danta."

The man didn't even have time to catch his breath before he finished speaking and began to breathe heavily.

"Our teacher is the head of the Starfall Pavilion, and his alchemy skills are inherited from the Pill Danta; he is Seventh Grade Alchemist."

The old man in the green robe muttered to himself, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Yao Chen once studied alchemy at the Pill Danta! This young man named Xiao Yuan might have clues about Yao Chen! Thinking of this, the space behind the old man in the green robe cracked open, and he turned around and stepped into it, casually tossing out a scroll.

"Thank you for informing me. This is a Profound Rank High Level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills. Consider it my token of gratitude."

After saying that, the space closed, and the old man's figure disappeared.

"My God, this person is actually Dou Zun expert!"

Upon hearing this, the hall erupted in an uproar.

Dou Zun is a legendary powerhouse. Even at the level of Dou Wang or Dou Emperor, they probably wouldn't see one more than a few times in their entire lives. And now, they've actually met Dou Zun expert in such an unexpected place.

It was incredibly exciting! The man who had introduced Xiao Yuan was also visibly excited. He was just a rogue cultivator and a Dou Wang, but simply by sharing some information he knew, he had actually obtained a set of Profound Rank High Level Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills!

Moreover, it even matches his Wind Attribute perfectly! Dou Zun expert could casually bestow something upon him that would be enough for him to enjoy for a long time!

The Han Clan.

Xiao Yuan was still cultivating.

During this period, he refined a lot of pills for the auction, which was of great benefit to his cultivation of Dou Qi. These past few days, Han Yue Han Xue have been busy with their engagement on the two auspicious days, so they haven't had time to accompany him. Therefore, he has been mainly cultivating Dou Qi and Dou Technique these past few days.

In addition, there was good news: after some research, Xiao Yuan found some breakthroughs in the obscure thunderous characters of the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body Cultivation Method.

His comprehension of combat Dou Technique was truly terrifying; even without the key to unlocking the cultivation method, he still managed to find some clues about cultivation.

Of course, this is also thanks to the Mysterious Rank Dou Techniques he learned back then, "Ice Phantom Body".

Both are illusions, and both are actually formed from energy. However, one uses Dou Qi to create a deceptive False Body, while the other uses soul power to create an avatar with its own strength by borrowing the body of a residual image.

In general, there are certain similarities. Therefore, after some research, Xiao Yuan also found a breakthrough. He was confident that he could successfully condense the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body within a month!

Whoosh! A gentle breeze blew through the courtyard, and the figure of the old man in blue robes gradually solidified.

At the same time, Xiao Yuan, who was still studying Dou Technique, suddenly felt that the Wind Attribute Dou Qi in his body was trembling slightly.

Resonance of cultivation techniques?

Xiao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
