Refining Blood Essence, Learning Dou Techniques

In a Secret Chamber of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yuan stared thoughtfully at the scene before him.

The Secret Chamber was large, but it was completely filled with furniture.

There are mainly three things.

The Dou Sheng Skeleton, the bones of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and the flesh and blood of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.

Having seen the remains of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, Xiao Yuan was able to discern the difference between the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix has more than ten more bones than the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and most of them are different, concentrated in the wings.

These wings are also useful to Xiao Yuan, so they should be kept.

As for the remaining body parts, Xiao Yuan needed to refine the essence and blood from the bones.

The necessary elixirs and body were all available to revive Yao Lao.

Only the essence and blood were lacking.

Although Xiao Yuan collected the remains of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, the best quality of their essence blood was at most at the level of Five Star Dou Zun.

This is completely unworthy of the Dou Sheng Skeleton that Xiao Yuan prepared.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan's plan was naturally to refine the bloodline from the remains of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Despite the passage of many years, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit has been produced again. However, some essence blood still remains in the massive body of this Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. By refining the essence blood from the flesh and blood of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan into it, it will be strong enough to be used for the resurrection of Yao Lao.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yuan spat out a golden flame that transformed into a fire dragon, enveloping the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's flesh and blood mass, which was frozen in mid-air by Space Power. With a wave of his hand, his soul power surged out, separating the wings of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix on the ground and splitting off a golden flame that wrapped around the body of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, burning it together.

With his Heavenly State soul power and that terrifying golden flame, refining the essence blood within would naturally not be difficult.

In less than an hour, the huge mass of flesh and blood and a large pile of white bones in the two flames disappeared, replaced by a large mass of bluish-red essence blood and three drops of bluish-purple blood that shimmered with golden light.

Next, Xiao Yuan activated his soul power, separating one-third of the cyan-red essence blood into three parts, and guiding each part to a drop of golden-glowing cyan-purple blood, slowly approaching it with his soul power.

As expected, the bluish-red essence blood was completely absorbed the moment it approached the golden-glowing bluish-purple blood.

This method of nourishing blood was something Xiao Yuan figured out after consulting with Heavenly Flame Venerable, Yao Lao, Xuan Yi, Cai Lin, and Cao Ying.

The first three are knowledgeable and experienced, while the latter two are a demon beast in its true form and possess the Blood Demon Flame.

After referring to the Flame-Making Flame Manipulation Art Transformation Fire Burning Flame Valley the refining method of Blood Demon Flame, Xiao Yuan also conducted some experiments, and the results were as expected.

Furthermore, since the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was the ancestor of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, their bloodlines were naturally connected, so there would be no unexpected events.

After a series of refining processes, Xiao Yuan exhausted the crimson and blue Heavenly Demon Phoenix Blood Essence and obtained six drops of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence.

Xiao Yuan was not very satisfied with this result.

But there's not much we can do.

That Heavenly Demon Phoenix's flesh and blood mass, there was only one Two Star Dou Zun, one Five Star Dou Zun, and some Peak Dou Zong.

Being able to obtain three more drops of Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Blood Essence is actually quite good.

With a sigh, Xiao Yuan carefully collected the six drops of golden-glowing purplish-blue blood, then focused his gaze on the Dou Sheng Skeleton.

To be precise, it refers to the specific three ribs of the Dou Sheng Skeleton.

Xiao Yuan walked over and reached out to touch the three ribs with tiny, closely spaced characters on them.

When you touch the ribs, they feel warm and cool, without any of the roughness of bone. Instead, they feel like the most perfect jade, smooth and cool, giving you an extremely wonderful tactile experience.

The text on it is extremely mysterious and difficult to understand.

After taking a closer look, Xiao Yuan realized that no matter how talented he was, he couldn't understand these unfamiliar characters.

"It seems that ordinary methods cannot open this rib."

Xiao Yuan looked thoughtful. After a while, he lowered his head and gently placed his ribs against his forehead. His soul power spread out, but it was directly bounced back as soon as it touched his ribs.

"Hmm? There are seals on the surface of the bones?"

Xiao Yuan's lips curled up, and then his gaze suddenly turned sharp. His vast soul power transformed into countless threads, which, under his control, relentlessly bombarded the surface of those three ribs.

At the same time, the golden Heavenly Flames flew out along with the countless strands of soul power, turning it golden. Under the extreme heat, the surrounding space became extremely distorted.

Although the seal of Dou Sheng was not simple, Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flames and soul power were far beyond what ordinary Dou Zun expert could match. After three full hours of soul bombardment, the seal was finally broken! "Whoosh~"

In the quiet room, a strange sound of liquid flowing suddenly came from inside, and Xiao Yuan's tightly closed eyes slowly opened at that moment.

From the three ribs, a strange dark golden liquid seeped out. The liquid flowed slowly in mid-air, as if it possessed its own intelligence, and occasionally it would condense into various bizarre shapes.

"Is this what it looks like after the seal is broken?"

Xiao Yuan murmured softly, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath of the slightly dry air, gently stretched out his palm, and then put it into the flames. After pausing for a moment, he finally inserted a finger into the pool of dark golden liquid.

"Sizzle!"

As his fingers were inserted into the liquid, a sudden change occurred. The liquid began to writhe violently, then tightly wrapped around Xiao Yuan's fingers, instantly enveloping his entire hand.

"Hiss!"

The dark golden liquid enveloped his entire right palm, and an unbearably itchy sensation emanated from his palm, causing Xiao Yuan's face to contort in pain.

A moment later, the dark golden liquid, as if avoiding a snake, quickly separated from Xiao Yuan's palm.

"???"

Seeing this, before Xiao Yuan could even think about why, his head suddenly throbbed, a dark golden light faintly appeared in his pupils, and he uttered a muttering sound to himself.

"Hmm? The Great Heaven Creation Palm?"

"Boom!"

As a deafening explosion echoed deep within Xiao Yuan's mind, his soul also trembled violently. His vision gradually blurred, and when he regained his senses, he found himself in a strange space.

This space was not wide, empty and lifeless. Xiao Yuan's gaze swept across it briefly, then suddenly stopped at a certain spot in the Void Space. There, a figure stood with his hands behind his back. This figure was extremely ordinary. Xiao Yuan could hardly detect any aura or Dou Qi spirit emanating from his body. He looked just like the most ordinary person.

However, this visual sensation only made Xiao Yuan's heart grow heavier. How could someone who could appear in such a strange place be an ordinary person? If he was not mistaken, this figure should be the true master of the Great Heaven Creation Palm, that is, the Dou Sheng Expert within the ruins.

"This should be a hidden memory space within the Dou Technique. This figure is not a true Dou Sheng Expert, but rather a fragment of his memory."

Gazing at the figure, Xiao Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. With his current experience, he naturally wouldn't be startled. After a moment of contemplation, he figured out the figure's background.

As Xiao Yuan had expected, the figure did not even glance at Xiao Yuan. Shortly after the former entered the space, a calm and even voice slowly echoed within it.

"The Great Heaven Creation Palm, Low-Level Heaven Rank Dou Technique, was created by me through a lifetime of effort, fusing various Dou Technique. This palm technique emphasizes the meaning of creation, using the palm to shatter the heavens and force to destroy all things. Heaven Rank Battle Skill transcend the mundane and surpass even sainthood. To obtain the secret I have hidden within my bones is a matter of fate. Since you have obtained the bones, your hands should have been tempered by the Golden Spirit Saliva. Remember, the Great Heaven Creation Palm can only be successfully performed using a tempered hand; otherwise, you will suffer a backlash."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan was taken aback. Just now, the so-called Golden Spirit Saliva had clearly disliked and kept its distance from his palm. Could there be a problem?

"The Great Heaven Creation Palm possesses the power of creation."

However, the figure completely ignored Xiao Yuan and suddenly emitted a faint glow. Its body became transparent, revealing a very clear meridian route. Within those meridians, a wisp of dark golden energy rapidly traversed, outlining a rather strange meridian route.

"This is the meridian route for cultivating the Great Heaven Creation Palm!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yuan disregarded his doubts and quickly focused his mind, firmly memorizing the energy's movement path.

After the meridian pathways had been circulated several times, they gradually faded away. However, Xiao Yuan's talent for cultivating Dou Technique was such that saying he had a photographic memory would be an understatement; naturally, he memorized them all.

As the meridian pathways faded, the light on that figure's body dissipated once more, while the dark golden light on its palm suddenly intensified, and then it swung out a palm, which landed heavily on the void.

"Bang!"

With a single palm strike, a terrifying energy surged forth like a storm, and a massive black halo once again formed beneath the figure's palm.

The halo took shape and then expanded outwards with lightning speed. The surrounding space crumbled instantly, like glass that had been forcibly shattered. Watching the black halo rapidly spreading in his pupils, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, but showed no sign of panic. Instead, he bowed respectfully to the figure within the dark halo.

"Those who are destined to be here, remember my name, the Creation Saint!"

A faint voice, like thunder in the spring, exploded in Xiao Yuan's mind, while the figure within the dark halo grew fainter and fainter until it was completely annihilated.

The last image of this Dou Sheng Expert that he left behind in this world dissipated in this way.

Xiao Yuan nodded silently, letting the dark light circle crash down on him, tearing his body apart. "These three materials are all top-notch. The material refined from them should be able to restore Yao Chen to his former peak strength. However, I don't know if he can break through to the Dou Zun and reach the Dou Sheng level." Wind Venerable stroked his beard and pondered.

"Disaster"

Yao Lao shook his head. Dou Zun and Dou Sheng are two completely different realms. Dou Zun expert can be considered true first-rate experts across the continent, while Dou Sheng is the pinnacle of existence at the top of the pyramid. With the resources of Central State, Dou Zun expert are rare, but not particularly uncommon. Dou Sheng Expert are different. Take Xiao Yuan for example. In all the years he has been in Central State, he has never truly encountered a Dou Sheng Expert! Of course, this does not include the Dou Sheng Remains he saw in the Ancient Ruins. That thing only had a remnant soul of Dou Sheng Expert and could not be considered a true expert. But even so, those lifeless bones made Xiao Yuan Star Plucking Old Ghost Zhaixing extremely embarrassed, and they almost capsized in the end. From this glimpse, one can vaguely see the terror of a true Dou Sheng Expert.

That realm truly possesses immense power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

"Now that all the materials are ready, let's get started tomorrow. Yao Chen should recover to his peak strength as soon as possible so that Starfall Pavilion won't have to worry about the Soul Hall's retaliation. You destroyed one of the Soul Hall's branches and tricked them in the ruins. Given their style, they certainly won't swallow such a huge loss easily," Wind Venerable pondered.

"Um"

Xiao Yuan and Yao Lao both nodded. Although everything seemed calm now, it was clear that this was just the prelude to a storm. Inside the room, Xiao Yuan suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and muttered to himself, "I wonder if it will work?"

After a moment, Xiao Yuan was fully awake. His gaze first fell on his right palm, where the Golden Spirit Saliva floated about a foot away from his palm, sometimes probing downwards and sometimes retracting.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yuan took out the jade bottle, put it away, and then focused his mind on his body. He then turned his right palm around and recalled the Dou Qi circulation route of the Great Heaven Creation Palm. He immediately showed a look of doubt.

It seems fine. Why don't you give it a try?

Anyway, I'm Eighth Grade Alchemist, so even if something unexpected happens, I'm unlikely to die.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, and then his internal Dou Qi began to slowly circulate along the meridian routes of the memory in his mind.

Initially, the circulation of Dou Qi was quite slow, and the route was also quite complicated. However, Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan was very patient, so after spending some time, he succeeded on the first try! Just as the circulation of Dou Qi was completed, Xiao Yuan's arm suddenly trembled, and the dark golden light on his right palm suddenly shone brightly. Then he was shocked to find that the Dou Qi in his body was flowing away like a tide, and the direction of the flow was his right palm!

"What terrifying Dou Qi consumption! It's only been used for a short time, yet the Dou Qi consumption is already comparable to that of using the Sky Annihilation Seal!"

As more and more Dou Qi gathered in Xiao Yuan's palm, the dark golden light grew stronger and stronger. After a while, when the dark golden light reached its peak, a drop of black light finally quietly appeared in the center of the golden light.

As the black light appeared, a terrifying suction force surged forth, instantly swallowing up all the surrounding dark golden light, while the black light gradually expanded at that moment.

"Hiss, something's not right!"

Suddenly realizing the problem, Xiao Yuan hurriedly stopped the consumption of his Dou Qi. He then clenched his fist slightly, and the walnut-sized black light trembled before gradually fading and turning back into Dou Qi, surging into Xiao Yuan's body.

Wiping away his sweat, Xiao Yuan looked at the Dou Sheng Remains, which had been drawn three inches closer to him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I reacted in time, otherwise I would have been devastated if this thing had sucked into my bloodstream!

But I don't feel there's anything wrong with it. Why did the Creation Saint say that it must be performed with a palm tempered by Golden Spirit Saliva?

Xiao Yuan fell into deep thought.
