Is and Isn't

"Tian Ge, is there a fight going on? Take me there, I'll conjure a Fire Lotus and send it to them." Xiao Yan patted his chest and said with a smile.

Under Yao Lao's tutelage, Xiao Yan's speed and efficiency in creating the Fire Lotus have significantly improved.

"With Xiao Tian's strength, apart from those old monsters in Central State, I don't see anyone who can be his match. If he can't even beat him, how could you?"

Yao Lao slapped Xiao Yan on the head and said.

"Hehe, even if I can't beat him, I'll still take a bite out of him." Xiao Yan scratched his head and chuckled.

"Okay, I'll definitely call on you next time I need to fight." Xiao Tian patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder:

"Alright, let's get down to business."

"I've come to give you something; you can decide for yourselves how to use it."

After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he waved his hand and a figure was thrown in front of Xiao Yan, startling Xiao Yan.

"Tian Ge, you actually used a corpse to launch a sneak attack! That's unethical!"

The Yao Lao carefully examined the corpse before him, frowning in thought, before looking up at Xiao Tian: "Old Ghost Zhaixing?"

"That's right, it's him." Xiao Tian nodded.

"It seems the Soul Hall is about to make a move." Yao Lao stroked his beard and said. The fact that Xiao Tian was able to encounter Heavenly Venerate from the Soul Hall meant that the other party had come to him on purpose. Otherwise, the Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall usually stayed in their respective branch halls and rarely went out to make their own way.

"No, what are you talking about in riddles?"

Xiao Yan was completely bewildered by what the two were saying.

Yao Lao gave Xiao Yan a brief explanation and a brief overview of the Soul Hall's levels and strength.

After listening, Xiao Yan immediately understood.

You must understand that in Central State, as long as Dou Zun Dou Sheng doesn't appear, Dou Zun is the ceiling-level existence, someone who can dominate the entire Central State.

Now, look what's happened—it's lying here coldly in front of me.

"Tian Ge?" Xiao Yan looked at the rather gruesome-looking Old Ghost Zhaixing in front of him, and he had a guess in his heart.

"Isn't this what you need right now?" Xiao Tian said with a slight smile, looking at Yao Lao.

"You're quite the enigma, kid. It seems you know more than I thought." The Yao Lao gave Xiao Tian a deep look.

"I only know a little bit of the inside story by chance." Xiao Tian chuckled softly, then continued, "However, if you're going to use it to refine your body, I don't recommend doing it too early, because Ancient Ruins will appear later, and there will be some things inside that you can use. It might even help you advance further, Yao Lao."

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Yao Lao's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand inside his sleeve clenched slightly.

His previous realm was the peak of the Nine Revolution Dou Zun. The next step would have been Half-Saint, a step that has trapped and killed many people.

Xiao Yan also looked at the corpse in front of him with excitement, as if the corpse was a rare treasure in his eyes.

"Teacher, keep this for you. It would be a complete waste for me to use it to make Puppet," Xiao Yan said sincerely to Yao Lao.

Moreover, the materials he used to craft Puppet were insufficient compared to others, so the puppets he created might only be mediocre. However, they would be more effective in reviving Yao Lao.

Whether this body was ultimately used remains unknown.

At this moment, Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and thought to himself that he had not misjudged him this time.

At that moment, he had already made a decision in his heart, a decision that also represented his hope.

Seeing Xiao Yan diligently restoring the disguise of the Old Ghost Zhaixing, Xiao Tian approached Yao Lao and asked, "This time you weren't mistaken, were you?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and said, "Yes and no."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Xiao Tian pressed.

"I wasn't wrong about you this time, but I was wrong about you."

"Me?" Xiao Tian pointed to himself.

"Yes, when I was in the Storage Ring before, I sensed you all and discovered your talent." Yao Lao looked at Xiao Tian, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"So-so, right?" Xiao Tian shrugged.

He had realized long ago that his talent was far inferior to Xiao Yan's, so he had no choice but to take the unorthodox path and rely on Xiao Yan's powerful connections.

"Yes, that's why I chose Xiao Yanzi." After saying this, Yao Lao stared at Xiao Tian: "I just didn't expect that when I woke up again, your body seemed to have been transformed by some great fortune, and even I couldn't see through it at all."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian thought to himself, "I'm protected by my System father, the system. When I travel through time, it's all about relying on the system."

Xiao Yan: Don't you dare yell at me!!

"I was fortunate enough to obtain some opportunities left by my ancestors." Xiao Tian pulled out Xiao Xuan, the shield used by those Transmigrator through Battle Through the Heavens.

After all, Xiao Xuan is recognized as the most talented person among the Eight Clans. Using him to intimidate Tiger Hide is definitely effective and perfectly legitimate.

"Teacher, I'm all packed up." Xiao Yan approached the two, then said gratefully, "Tian Ge Xiao Yan, thank you!!"

"We're brothers, no need for such formalities. Greatness needs no further explanation!" Xiao Tian waved his hand. "Now that it's all settled, let me tell you about two other pieces of news."

Xiao Yan tilted his head and leaned his ear closer to Xiao Tian, while Yao Lao beside him also looked quite interested.

"Alright, alright, stop it. Your ears are practically stuffed into my mouth." Xiao Tian slapped Xiao Yan on the head in annoyance.

Xiao Yan shrank back sheepishly, scratching his head awkwardly.

Meanwhile, the Yao Lao watched the two playfully bickering with a smile, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, wondering how his old friend was doing now.

"The first thing is news about the Heavenly Flames. I suppose Yao Lao already told you that in Central State, most Heavenly Flames are controlled or passed down by various powerful forces, right?"

Xiao Yan nodded silently. Now that he hadn't lost Yao Lao Xiao Yan, he wasn't like a headless fly in the Original Work. He looked at Xiao Tian excitedly. "Could it be that you, Tian Ge, have found out about a wild Heavenly Flames?"

"There is indeed such a Heavenly Flames, and it's the one you have the best chance of obtaining."

"What kind of Heavenly Flames?" Xiao Yan licked his lips excitedly, his eyes filled with longing.

Xiao Tian slowly uttered these five words, emphasizing each one:

"Three Thousand Blazing Flames."

"The Three Thousand Burning Flame?" Upon hearing this name, Xiao Yan was taken aback at first, then his dark eyes suddenly burst forth with a fiery light. Thanks to Yao Lao's explanation, he already knew all the information about the Heavenly Flames.

The Three Thousand Burning Flame, also known as the Three Thousand Starry Sky Burning Flame, ranks ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, which is two ranks higher than the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his teacher's hands.

Xiao Yan wasn't concerned about the high ranking, but rather its special ability: the Three Thousand Burning Flame, which made the person who possessed it exceptionally resilient.

A strong vitality means that as long as he has a breath left, he can become lively and energetic again, and the speed of recovery depends on the severity of the injury.

This ability is exactly what Xiao Yan wants most, because he enjoys close-quarters combat and Fire Lotus, which almost always results in him getting injured.
