Dou Venerate! Reactions from the Outside World
The Heavenly Flames and phenomena in the sky suddenly disappeared.
All seven Heavenly Flames subsided and returned to their original, primordial form.
Xiao Yan opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and reached out to touch the Heavenly Flames: "You all deserve a lot of credit this time."
After saying that, Xiao Yan retracted all the Heavenly Flames into his body.
Yao Lao sensed Xiao Yan's Dou Venerate aura and his face was full of joy. "Yan'er, congratulations on your breakthrough!"
Xiao Yi Xian gently bit her lip, stepped forward and gave Xiao Yan Xiao Yan a hug, her lips brushing against his earlobe as she whispered, "Congratulations."
Xiao Yan returned the hug. "Yeah, same to you."
The Yao Lao smiled like a loving father. Only after Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian separated and embraced did he ask, "Yan'er, what was that strange phenomenon with your Heavenly Flames just now?"
Xiao Yan replied, "It was my fault; I overestimated the effects of the pills."
The energy from that pill could barely help me break through to the Dou Venerate, but my realm would be unstable. Even if I managed to maintain my realm, my Dou Qi essence would be far lower than that of other experts at the same realm."
The Yao Lao understood. "So that's why those Heavenly Flames actively helped you absorb energy?"
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "Yes, I was a little surprised myself."
Since I absorbed these Heavenly Flames, their intelligence has increased, and they are now able to actively absorb energy to help me.
Without them, I would most likely have suppressed my cultivation to the Half-Step Dou Venerate and sought an opportunity to break through later."
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Yan, could you use Heavenly Flames to cultivate in the future? That would speed up your progress, wouldn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Xian'er, what just happened was quite a drain on the Heavenly Flames. If it is used repeatedly, I'm afraid it will damage the Heavenly Flames's essence, and then it will be a loss."
Xiao Yi Xian understood and said no more.
The Yao Lao asked again, "Yan'er, how do you feel after breaking through to the Dou Venerate?"
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and carefully sensed the power within his body. He then said, "The total amount and quality of my Dou Qi have improved considerably. When refining Tier 8 Medicinal Pill or refining my body, even if I use the Fusion Heavenly Flame to refine them throughout the entire process, I will no longer need to rely on pills to restore my Dou Qi."
"Besides that, I feel that my control over spatial power is more precise and effortless now."
"I feel that even some High-Star Dou Venerate are inferior to me in their control over spatial power," Xiao Yan affirmed.
The [Space Control] Heaven-Swallowing Talent, awakened from the Ancient Void Dragon Royal Bloodline, has been of immense help to him in the realm of space.
Even at the Dou Zong level, his mastery of spatial power was comparable to that of an ordinary Dou Venerate, giving him the combat strength of Dou Venerate despite his Dou Zong.
Now that he has broken through to the Dou Venerate, this Heaven-Swallowing Talent is still putting its strength to use.
Battles at the Dou Venerate level are all about the total amount of Dou Qi, Dou Skill, special methods, and mastery of spatial power.
His Quasi-Heaven Rank Flame Mantra gave him an advantage in total Dou Qi.
In terms of Dou Skill, he possesses the Five Wheel Fire Method, which, when unleashed, is comparable to Heaven Rank Dou Skill. If he wishes to learn Heaven Rank Dou Skill later, he can freely choose one from his mind.
In terms of special abilities, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes, the various awakened abilities, the Fusion Heavenly Flame, and Soul Dou Skill can all provide him with tremendous support.
The final spatial power, enhanced by [Space Control], is no less than that of High-Star Dou Venerate.
It can be said that Xiao Yan is now fully confident in his ability to contend with a High-Star Dou Venerate.
If he could raise his cultivation to the Peak Dou Venerate, even if he wasn't Nine-Revolution Dou Venerate, he was even confident that he could briefly contend with Semi-Saint!
"Yan'er, even if you were at your peak, I wouldn't dare say I could defeat you with 100% certainty," Yao Lao said with satisfaction.
"That would be wonderful! Once you're resurrected, Teacher, I'll lead the charge, while you stay in the rear, focusing on refining medicine and managing the forces for me," Xiao Yan said.
The Yao Lao, "Yan'er, it's still a long way from my resurrection. Now that you've broken through to the Dou Venerate and resurrected the Venerable Skyfire, it's time to go and get your hands on the Yin-Yang Dual Flame."
"Your constitution is special. After you subdue the Heavenly Flames, Heavenly Flames can exert an effect far exceeding that of others."
Although the Yin-Yang Dual Flame are ranked low, their characteristics are excellent. Subduing them will be a significant boost to your character.
Xiao Yan nodded, agreeing with what Yao Lao said.
"Okay, teacher, let me rest for a few days, and then I'll set off."
He then looked at Xiao Yi Xian: "Xian'er, you'll come with me then, it'll be safer that way."
The Xiao Yi Xian is perfectly acceptable.
For Xiao Yan, breaking through to the Dou Venerate level was simply achieving a goal.
However, when it was released to the outside world, it caused a huge uproar.
The extraordinary phenomena he caused during his breakthrough were known to those with some knowledge; such phenomena were only possible at the Dou Venerate level.
The birth of a new Dou Venerate has an impact on the entire Northwest Continent, especially since this Dou Venerate appeared in the Tian Shu Alliance.
Coincidentally, because Venerable Skyfire became the fifth elder of the Tian Shu Alliance, this strange phenomenon was directly attributed to Venerable Skyfire.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that this Dou Venerate was actually a veteran Dou Venerate with four stars, a top-tier expert who ranked among the best in the entire Northwest Continent.
With such a powerful figure emerging from the Tian Shu Alliance, many forces, though not openly saying so, immediately changed their attitude towards the Tian Shu Alliance.
If there was previously some isolationist or suppressive attitude...
When the name of the Venerable Skyfire appeared on the tables of the major powers, these powers immediately changed their attitudes.
Within just one or two days, most of the spies within Yan City had left.
On the contrary, invitations and letters of goodwill appeared on Xiao Ding's desk.
Fortunately, Xiao Ding is no longer alone.
This was because Xiao Yan's instructions before his seclusion to refine medicine and break through to the next level had already been carried out.
Yao Ye has arrived in Yan City from the Jia Ma Empire and become Xiao Ding's assistant.
As for why it was so fast, that's all thanks to the Yao Tianhuo.
He became the fifth elder of the Alliance, but he had no power under his command.
Mo Tianxing has the Black Emperor Sect, Xiao Ding is in charge of handling the affairs of the entire Alliance, Hai Bodong manages the Vientiane Auction House, Gu He manages the Pill Hall.
He alone was idle, his entire strength being used as a nuclear weapon to intimidate other forces.
So, having nothing else to do, he personally went to pick up Yao Ye, which took less than half a day.
Upon arriving at the Alliance and learning all this, Xiao Yan immediately assigned Yao Tianhuo a mission.
That is to build a Space Channel between the Jia Ma Empire and Yan City, so that personnel from various factions can travel there.
Yao Tianhuo was worried about having nothing to do and was afraid that he would be idle and forgotten by Xiao Yan in the future. Now that he had been given this task, he happily agreed.
As a veteran Dou Venerate, constructing Space Channel is not difficult for him, especially since the journey between the Jia Ma Empire and the Black-Corner Region only takes a few days for Dou Wang, so the distance for constructing Space Channel is not too long.
After quickly handling some matters, Xiao Yan went to Hai Bodong and asked for some Medicinal Herbs.
Before setting off, he planned to refine some high-grade healing and enhancement pills as a precaution.
Since the topic was refining pills, Xiao Yan thought for a moment and decided to hold a small exchange meeting, bringing together his Alchemist and giving them some pointers on alchemy techniques.
Just then, he heard that Shi Tian had returned swiftly. During the few days that he was working on his breakthrough in alchemy, Shi Tian had already brought the sect's Alchemist back to Yan City, waiting for him to fulfill his promise of guidance.
His move could be considered a triple win.
