Soaring Nine Breaks

"It seems that old guy was quite lucky to have met two geniuses like you two brothers."

After listening to Xiao Yuan briefly summarize the plot of the first million words of the book, Wind Venerable couldn't help but show a look of emotion.

Putting aside their cultivation level in Dou Qi, at the age of twenty, they had already reached the Seventh Grade Alchemist alchemist level. In fact, they had only started learning alchemy at the age of fifteen. That is to say, both brothers went from being complete beginners to Seventh Grade Alchemist in just five years! This is truly unparalleled talent!

Moreover, with Wind Venerable's keen eye, it was clear that Xiao Yuan's Dou Qi was quite solid, without any of the superficiality that comes with rapid advancement in cultivation.

To cultivate one's Dou Qi and alchemy to such a level within five years is truly astonishing.

"By the way, please have the soul within you come out and meet us. At first, when I sensed its presence, I thought it was that old guy, but after sensing it more closely, I felt that its aura was not right."

Wind Venerable glanced at Xiao Yuan, who was wearing a white ring, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, I've been wanting to come out and meet you for a long time. After staying in this dark and sunless place for so long, I've finally met a strong person of the same level."

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable flew out of his Storage Ring, smiled, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"So you are the Heavenly Flame Venerable, right? I suppose you stayed by Xiao Yuan's side for the sake of resurrection?"

Wind Venerable also cupped his hands in greeting and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, not bad, naturally it's for resurrection. This kid is a good person, and he has a rare variety of Heavenly Flames that can help me revive. I also passed on my signature technique to him. Although he already has a teacher, he can still be considered my successor."

Heavenly Flame Venerable didn't mince words, nodded, and spoke very frankly.

"Besides, this kid is to my liking, so I'll follow him from now on!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable glanced at Xiao Yuan and said with a smile.

"That's great! With Senior Tianhuo's help, I can practically roam freely in the Central Plains Continent from now on!"

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Haha, sure!"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable laughed heartily.

"Well, actually, I have an idea."

Seeing this, Wind Venerable nodded, and then finally got down to business.

"Please speak, Old Feng."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression turned serious, and he asked in a deep voice.

"It just so happens that Heavenly Flame Venerable is currently in a soul state and needs to be resurrected. Perhaps we can use this to further mislead the people of the Soul Hall later." Wind Venerable said, a hint of apology appearing on his face. "However, this will put the two of you in danger!"

"I've long heard of the power of the Soul Hall, and this is a good opportunity to see for myself!"

Upon hearing this, Heavenly Flame Venerable did not care. Instead, he smiled nonchalantly and said in a rather domineering manner.

With his strength back then, coupled with the power of the Five Round Fire Separation Method and the Fallen Heart Flame, he dared to fight even Nine Stars Dou Zun.

Although his strength is not as great as before, if he can rely on Xiao Yuan's power, he can even fight against some low-level Dou Zun expert.

After all, Xiao Yuan truly possessed four different kinds of Heavenly Flames.

If the Five Round Fire Separation Method were to be unleashed, the effects would likely be terrifying.

Of course, Xiao Yuan was even more looking forward to what the effect would be after he condensed the fifth type of Heavenly Flames.

The Five Round Fire Separation Method, composed of five Heavenly Flames, must be considered one of the strongest among Heaven Rank Battle Skill.

Of course, that might have to wait until after advancing to the Dou Zun level.

Xiao Yuan is currently only a Three Star Dou Zong. It will probably take him another year or two to reach the Dou Zun realm!

"Well, since Heavenly Flame Venerable is so agreeable, I won't let you take such a risk for nothing. I'll figure out what materials are needed for the resurrection!"

Seeing this, Wind Venerable smiled and nodded, then clasped his hands in gratitude and quickly said...

"Nothing else is a problem, but the main issues are pills and essence blood. I wonder if Old Feng has any way to find the essence blood of Eighth-Rank Magical Beast? And these Medicinal Herbs, the more the better."

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan told Wind Venerable about the Medicinal Herbs needed for the Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill.

"The matter of Medicinal Herbs is not difficult to handle. Back then, Yao Chen's reputation resounded throughout the continent, and many people asked me to help introduce them, hoping to exchange medicinal herbs for Medicinal Herbs. Yao Chen was also straightforward back then, and he would often take out seventh and Eighth-Tier pills to barter with people. That's why he was targeted by the Soul Hall. Now, as long as I collect Medicinal Herbs in his name, it shouldn't take too long."

As for the essence blood, I'll go ask the Azure Luan Tribe.

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable smiled and said.

"Then I'll have to trouble Old Feng. During this time, I will focus all my efforts on cultivating my alchemy skills."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded solemnly.

He can certainly distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.

The best way to combat unknown risks is to increase one's own strength as quickly as possible in a short period of time.

Normal training would obviously not yield such a significant improvement.

So we only have a few options at the moment.

First, improve your alchemy skills as soon as possible. Once you reach the Eighth-Tier, even ordinary Dou Zun expert will not dare to provoke you easily.

Second, to create a body for Heavenly Flame Venerable and help him be resurrected.

Third, go to the Burning Flame Valley to obtain the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations.

With Xiao Yuan's current foundation of four Heavenly Flames, the effect of unleashing the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations would likely be extremely terrifying.

With the addition of the Qi Gathering Palaces Infusion Method, it would probably be enough to raise one's strength to the Dou Zun level.

In this way, he could be considered to have some ability to protect himself in Central State.

Of course, if one truly wants to walk sideways without any worries, then one would probably need to reach at least the level of Nine Star Dou Sheng.

It would be even better if he could reach the Dou Di.

Well, it's clear that this is really a long way off for Xiao Yuan.

After careful consideration, the best way to enhance Xiao Yuan's strength right now is still the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations of Burning Flame Valley.

It would be even better if we could take this opportunity to activate our Clan Mark.

However, Xiao Yuan remembered that if he went to Burning Flame Valley, he would probably need to refine medicine. With his current seventh-grade medicine refining skills, it was indeed a bit insufficient. Therefore, the most urgent task was still to improve his medicine refining skills.

Xiao Yuan was quite confident about this.

"Hmm, that's fine. Besides your cultivation, I'll also give you some pointers on your Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills. Perfect!"

Wind Venerable nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"By the way, Old Feng, in just two days I will be getting engaged to the Han Clan sisters, Han Yue and Han Xue. Would you do me the honor of attending?"

Xiao Yuan blinked and said with a smile.

"Can."

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable nodded in agreement almost without thinking.

He is indifferent to women, but he won't let that affect other people's opinions or behavior.

As long as Xiao Yuan doesn't abandon him after starting something and it doesn't affect his cultivation, he's fine with whatever he does in this regard.

Given Wind Venerable's status and position, his attendance at the engagement banquet as Xiao Yuan's elder would likely cause the entire Han Clan to be overjoyed.

It should be noted that Hong Chen's mere membership in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion made the Hong Clan incredibly powerful, allowing them to act with impunity in Tianbei City, completely disregarding the Han Clan's opinions and feelings.

Now that Xiao Yuan is the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, even forces with similar Dou Zun power have to give the Starfall Pavilion some face.

Not to mention, Thunder Venerable of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is actually not as strong Wind Venerable. In a real fight, he would be no match for him.

"Then thank you very much, Old Feng."

Xiao Yuan bowed gratefully.

"There's no need for such formalities with me. Yao Chen's disciple is my disciple."

Wind Venerable spoke in a gentle tone.

"Hehe, you guys chat, I'm going back to rest for a while."

Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Heavenly Flame Venerable returned to his Storage Ring quite consciously.

With his experience, he naturally understood that what followed was not something he could understand.

"Good."

Xiao Yuan nodded, watching Heavenly Flame Venerable enter the Storage Ring, then raised his head to look at Wind Venerable.

"Old Feng, this is perfect. I need your guidance on my cultivation techniques and Dou Technique. To be honest, I've never used these Dou Technique before. I've always kept them as a trump card. I don't know how well I've cultivated them. I'd love to have you take a look."

Upon hearing this, Wind Venerable nodded, waved his arm, and a Space Rift appeared. He grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm and led him into it.

Whoosh! A Space Rift appeared in a mountain range Tianbei City, and Wind Venerable led Xiao Yuan out from it.

The courtyard was too small to operate properly, so you can practice here instead.

Wind Venerable nodded to Xiao Yuan and said with a smile.

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan's expression turned solemn, and his Dou Qi surged forth, causing a blue vortex to automatically condense around him and spin wildly.

The Wind Venerable's Cyclone Wind Riding Art is paired with a mid-level Earth-rank palm Dou Technique called Soaring Nine Breaks.

This is a Dou Technique that, in a sense, is very simple and brutal.

Because this palm technique is not flashy, it won't create any messy special effects like a sky full of palm prints.

Its effect is simple: by stacking palm force nine times in succession, it unleashes astonishing power.

However, the terrifying aspect of this Dou Technique lies in the fact that as long as Dou Qi is abundant and each strike is delivered with maximum output force, then when accumulated to the end, its power is no less than that of Earth Rank High Level Dou Techniques.

Even with Xiao Yuan's talent, after using the secret technique to enhance his strength, he could only stack nine attacks with half his power. If he were to use this Dou Technique at full strength, he would only be able to stack it five times before he could barely control it. If he were to force it to stack nine times, his entire arm would be crippled by the impact of the stacked power.

After all, that was equivalent to accumulating an attack at the Dou Zun level within his body, and with his current physical body, he really couldn't withstand an attack at the Dou Zun level.

Under the watchful eye of Wind Venerable, Xiao Yuan did not use any secret techniques to enhance his strength. Instead, he began to use the Soaring Nine Breaks with the strength of Three Star Dou Zong.

With his robes fluttering, Xiao Yuan shot out towards Wind Venerable. Deep blue light condensed into an almost tangible handprint on his palm, which he then pushed forward along his arm.

However, there was no fluctuation of Dou Qi on Wind Venerable's body. He simply raised his hand and caught Xiao Yuan's attack.

Xiao Yuan was not surprised by this. He continued to unleash his palm techniques. By the ninth palm strike, the deep blue handprint on his palm had become like a layer of energy crystals, bursting out with a wave that made the space tremble violently.

At this moment, Wind Venerable made his first move, raising his palm that emitted a blue light and casually deflecting Xiao Yuan's nine attacks.

"Not bad. Although you are only Three Star Dou Zong now, this move is enough to deal with Six-Star Dou Zong. I heard that you have a secret technique to increase your strength? Why don't you use it too, and let this old man see what level you can reach when you go all out!"

Wind Venerable nodded in satisfaction, and then said...

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan swallowed a pill to restore his Dou Qi, and then activated the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations Qi Gathering Palaces Infusion Method.

Boom! Sensing Xiao Yuan's aura surge to the Peak Dou Zong, a hint of surprise finally flashed in Wind Venerable's eyes.

The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was not surprising, but the secret technique that was later used, which was said to gather the Dou Qi in Xiao Yuan's body into one place, had a mysterious and ancient feel to it.

How to describe this feeling? It's somewhat like the aura from the Ancient Ruins that Yao Chen and I explored back then.

"Old Feng, in my current state, I cannot unleash the full power of the Soaring Nine Breaks. You must be extra careful!"

After giving a reminder, Xiao Yuan's figure transformed into Azure Lightning and flashed in front of Wind Venerable. As his deep azure wind and thunder Dou Technique surged, the sound of wind and thunder also rang out in his palm. With a single strike, the terrifying Dou Qi shattered the void, creating numerous tiny cracks.

"He's actually stronger than a typical Peak Dou Zong?"

Wind Venerable couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Such strength is simply astonishing! Keep in mind that the next Four Pavilion Grand Meeting is only about a year away.

However, the most outstanding talents in the four pavilions are still only at the Dou Emperor level.

Xiao Yuan has not only reached the Dou Zong, but he can even use a secret technique to raise his strength to the Peak Dou Zong.

If he were sent out, let alone sweeping through the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting, as long as the Dou Zun of the four pavilions didn't make a move, probably no one would be his match! Moreover, this kid seems to have also cultivated the Three Thousand Lightning Movement of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?

No wonder there was a conflict with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion; it seems there was this reason too! As his thoughts raced, Wind Venerable became more serious and withstood Xiao Yuan's first four palm strikes one after another.

But when the fifth palm strike came, even Wind Venerable couldn't help but become more cautious.

This fifth strike had reached the level of killing Peak Dou Zong expert with a single blow.

Even Dou Zun expert wouldn't dare underestimate this palm strike.

Of course, Wind Venerable was not someone who had just entered the Dou Zun. Although he was surprised by Xiao Yuan's strength, he still easily took the fifth blow.

At this moment, Wind Venerable also noticed that Xiao Yuan's palms seemed to be turning red.

It is obvious that his current body cannot withstand the full power of the Soaring Nine Breaks.

After all, the secret techniques that enhance strength already place considerable demands on and influence physical strength. To then unleash such powerful Dou Technique, with such terrifying power flowing through the body, could easily lead to accidental injury. It might be fine to use them for desperate situations, but it's unnecessary to use them for practice.

Thinking of this, Wind Venerable reached out and lightly touched Xiao Yuan's palm, pulling away the terrifying superimposed force and guiding it down into the mountain range below.

Boom! With a loud bang, the once towering mountain was blasted to pieces.

"Not bad, the effect is somewhat beyond my expectations."

Wind Venerable nodded and said with a smile.
