[Yao Lao was left speechless by a single sentence from the "Flame Emperor."]

[But my "Brother Yan" failed to notice and continued his steady performance, saying, "It seems that if I get the chance to go to the Central Plains in the future, I must give my all when facing opponents and cannot hold anything back."]

"What was wrong with that sentence?" The five women each had their own doubts.

From Xiao Yan's perspective, if he believed everything Yao Lao said was true, then having such thoughts only meant he was quite perceptive.

To Yao Lao, those words did not count as another stab. The truly lethal blow had been the previous sentence.

But in the next instant, the five women got their answer.

[After my "Brother Yan" became famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire and stole the spotlight at Jia Nan Academy and the Black-Corner Region, he went to the Central Plains to develop.]

[The rise of the newest Dou Di in ten thousand years was naturally accompanied by bloodshed, flowers and applause, countless opportunities, friends, and enemies.]

[But since "Brother Yan" was the "number one," he was destined to surpass all geniuses and even his predecessors.]

[The Central Plains truly had more geniuses than other places, not counting the seven great Di Clans hidden in the shadows.]

[There were many Dou Emperors in their early twenties, and those in the first echelon had all reached the Dou Zong level!]

[If the Di Clans were included, the first echelon would all be Dou Zuns.]

Medusa:?

Yun Yun: "..."

[But when "Brother Yan" arrived in the Central Plains, these geniuses welcomed their strictest father. "Brother Yan" also gained the title of "Central Plains Genius Corrector."]

Hiss!

Central Plains Genius Corrector.

That title sounded inexplicably impressive.

[Leaving aside the Di Clans, let us speak only of one hall, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and the Four Pavilions.]

[Among the younger generation, Feng Qing'er and Cao Ying were representative figures who were corrected.]

"Two more." Xun'er rubbed her brow lightly with a headache.

Based on the information she had gathered so far, she could tentatively confirm that Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Yun Yun also possessed Notebook Copies, while Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, and Yao Lao did not.

These people had all been mentioned by Xiao Ting in the Notes, just like her. The reason she suspected they might possess Notebook Copies was because of the Notebook Copy's "erasure warning" and "blessing rewards."

If she voluntarily revealed the existence of the Notebook Copy and its contents, or deliberately did anything to harm Xiao Ting, she would be "erased."

If Xiao Ting mentioned someone's name in the Notes, that person could receive a "Plane Blessing" that day.

The blessing reward she had received yesterday was seven days of cultivation experience for an Earth Tier Dou Technique.

Based on those two points, she guessed that the copy holders had all had their names mentioned by Xiao Ting in the Notes.

Now, Feng Qing'er and Cao Ying would also become subjects of her investigation. Since they came from one hall, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and the Four Pavilions, narrowing down the scope would be easy.

[Feng Qing'er was a descendant of the direct bloodline of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. In the current Beast World, she possessed a top-tier magical beast bloodline second only to the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, as well as wind and lightning attributes.]

[When she reached the Fifth Rank, she used a secret technique passed down through the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan to assume human form ahead of time, then became the disciple of Lei Zunzhe of the Wind Lightning Pavilion.]

[She met the "Flame Emperor" when they were both preparing to break through to the Dou Zong realm. Their first battle erupted at the Four Pavilions Assembly, and the "Flame Emperor" won.]

[After that, Feng Qing'er remained unconvinced. Yet every time they met and fought, she was taught a lesson. Moreover, every encounter showed her that the "Flame Emperor" was growing faster than she was.]

[Cao Ying was known as the Demoness of the Cao Clan. She was the disciple of Xuan Kongzi, one of the Dan Tower Three Greats. She displayed astonishing soul power at birth, became an alchemist at seven, was exceptionally admitted by the Dan Tower as a core disciple at fifteen, became the youngest Tier 7 Alchemist in the Cao Clan at twenty, advanced to an Eighth-Rank Alchemist at twenty-two, mastered the high-level Xuan Tier soul technique Soul Hand Seal, and reached the Spirit Realm in soul power, yet she lost to the twenty-five-year-old "Flame Emperor" during the Pill Gathering.]

Yun Yun, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin: "..."

At that moment, they finally understood the weight behind the "Central Plains geniuses" Xiao Ting had spoken of.

They had not even become Dou Zhes at seven, while others had become alchemists at seven and Tier 7 Alchemists by twenty.

The Jia Ma Empire currently had only one Sixth-Rank Alchemist, Gu He, who was nearly forty years old.

Yet all those geniuses had been "corrected" by Xiao Yan.

No wonder Xiao Ting wanted to observe a moment of silence for those geniuses.

[With my help in this life, the "Flame Emperor" will definitely grow faster and more smoothly. I hope they will not be so devastated that they shut themselves away when the time comes.]

[However, in the real Dou Qi Continent, not everything may develop according to the original "plot."]

Having written this much, Xiao Ting felt it was about enough and "put down his pen."

After carefully completing his breathing adjustment, he did not seek Yao Lao's guidance and instead began cultivating on his own.

Using cheats was certainly satisfying and useful, but he still needed to work hard himself. He did not want to become some useless freak who only knew how to rely on "cheats."

"Cultivation is also cultivation of the heart."

"Only by understanding one's heart can one comprehend the Dao."

As he practiced the Bagua Lightning Chasing Steps, Xiao Ting comprehended the mysteries of lightning's power.

"What are you looking at?" Yao Lao's voice sounded behind Xiao Yan.

"Teacher, I feel that I am still not working hard enough." Xiao Yan's gaze became resolute. "Little Ting is stronger than me and works harder than me. That will not do."

A flash of gratification passed through Yao Lao's eyes. "Not bad. At least you know that the stupid bird must start flying early."

Xiao Yan:?

Meanwhile, in the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range of the Northern Region of the Central Plains.

A cold and aloof young woman walked into a magnificent pavilion in the East Pavilion.

Her temperament and beauty were both peerless. Her slightly slender cheeks formed a perfect oval face, while the most eye-catching feature was her pair of violet-brown, gem-like eyes that radiated beauty and holiness. She wore a multicolored short skirt that gave her an innate air of nobility, and beneath it were a pair of straight, beautiful legs wrapped in white stockings.

This woman was Feng Qing'er, who had just taken Lei Zunzhe as her master and joined the East Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion.

Feng Qing'er had originally been unwilling to take a master. She was from the direct bloodline of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and her mother was a Dou Sheng expert.

Although, with her current strength as a newly advanced Fifth Rank magical beast and her state of having only just assumed human form early through her clan's secret technique, it was impossible for her to receive guidance from a Dou Sheng, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan still had Dou Zun and Dou Zong experts.

But after witnessing Lei Zunzhe's methods and seeing part of the Wind Lightning Pavilion's inheritance, she no longer felt much resistance.

With merely the strength of a human Dou Wang, becoming the sole personal disciple of a Dou Zun did not disgrace her.

"Hmm?"

The moment Feng Qing'er sat down at the table, she saw an ancient book appear out of thin air before her.

"Is this some secret treasure of the Wind Lightning Pavilion? A special method of imparting techniques?"

Feng Qing'er furrowed her beautiful willow-leaf brows and reached out to catch the book.

Only then did she see a line written on its cover.

[Xiao Ting's Great Dao Notes (Feng Qing'er's Observation Copy)]

Meanwhile, within the Dan Region, where the Dan Tower was located.

There stood a city called "Cao." Inside a heavily guarded alchemy room somewhere within it.

"Boom!"

An aura surged forth, accompanied by unusual energy fluctuations.

Several Cao Clan elders appeared, their expressions excited. "Little Yingzi is about to succeed."

A thirteen-year-old Fourth-Rank Alchemist was about to be born. In another two years, reaching the Fifth-Rank Alchemist level would not be a problem. She would surely be exceptionally admitted by the Dan Tower as a core disciple and enter the Little Dan Tower to cultivate.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from within the alchemy room.

All the Cao Clan elders, who had already begun imagining the Cao Clan becoming the master of the Dan Tower: ???
