Mystic Yellow Flame

More than seven years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Jie had grown to the height of a normal adult man.

After seven or eight years of cultivation and keeping a low profile, Xiao Jie now had delicate features and an extraordinary bearing.

His cultivation had reached the level of a six-star Dou Wang, while his alchemist rank had also reached the fifth tier.

Xiao Jie awoke from cultivation and thought to himself.

It's time to head to the Tager Desert and claim the Green Lotus Core Flame. While I'm at it, I'll refine the Heavenly Flames in the Simulation Space as well.

Over these past seven-plus years, Xiao Jie had obtained another Heavenly Flame from the Simulator: the Mystic Yellow Flame, ranked twenty-third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

This flame was born within volcanoes. It took a hundred years to take form and a thousand years to gain spirit. Deep yellow in color, it seemed to contain a dragon-shaped creature swimming within its flames, making it exceptionally magnificent.

Xiao Jie had found this Heavenly Flame while venturing deep into a volcanic region during one Life Simulation.

For it, he had nearly died to the magical beasts within the volcanic lava. Though it had only recently taken shape, it was still a genuine Heavenly Flame.

Nearly two hundred Simulations over seven years had also brought him quite a few good things, such as the Mystic Yellow Flame, Spirit Container, Icy Spirit Spring, and other items that assisted in refining Heavenly Flames.

A Spirit Container was essential for collecting Heavenly Flames. Cultivation methods and Dou Techniques accounted for half of his gains; most were Xuan-tier, with a small number at Earth-tier, but not a single Heaven-tier scroll.

There were also all kinds of precious medicinal ingredients and various pills. The highest were only seventh-tier pills, including the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Humanoid Pill, Ancestor-Breaking Pill, Dou Ling Pill, Emperor-Breaking Pill, and Emperor-Extreme Pill, with several bottles of each. He also had two high-grade Storage Rings and thirteen mid-grade Storage Rings.

The Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva from the Nalan Clan had contributed greatly to Xiao Jie becoming a peak fifth-tier alchemist. To obtain it, he had spent more than forty Simulations intersecting with the Nalan Clan.

Only then had he extracted three stalks of Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva. Thanks to the help of those three stalks, his soul power had now reached mortal-tier perfection.

Under Xiao Jie's soul perception, no one anywhere in the Xiao Clan could hide. Even Ling Ying of the Ancient Clan, who cultivated a dark-attribute technique, had nowhere to conceal himself. However, Ling Ying could not sense him, and Xiao Jie had no desire to alert him.

Xiao Jie did not wish to probe Xiao Yan. He knew that Yao Lao had probably already awakened by this point, merely choosing not to reveal himself. Ever since Xiao Yan's Dou Qi had suddenly vanished more than two years ago, he had endured countless scornful looks.

After Xiao Jie broke through to Dou Wang and became a fifth-tier alchemist, he spoke up for Xiao Yan within the Xiao Clan, and no one dared mock him openly anymore. Still, gossip behind his back was unavoidable.

And because he had become a Dou Wang as well as a fifth-tier alchemist, the Xiao Clan had become an overlord-level force in Wutan City.

The Mittel Family had opened every possible door for the Xiao Clan, allowing its business to prosper without hindrance. The imperial family had also sent people to offer congratulations and befriend Xiao Jie, this young fifth-tier alchemist.

The Nalan Clan and Mu Clan were unwilling to fall behind and sent lavish gifts. The Nalan Clan Head even brought up the marriage agreement between the two families, while the Misty Cloud Sect also came bearing valuable gifts and extended an olive branch to Xiao Jie.

There was an endless stream of people coming to seek medicine. Thanks to Xiao Jie's status as a fifth-tier alchemist and Dou Wang, the Xiao Clan Head and First Elder had both reached the peak of Da Dou Shi and could break through to become Dou Ling experts at any time.

Xiao Jie also planned to refine Spirit-Breaking Pills so the Xiao Clan would possess Dou Ling-level combat power. He himself needed to leave and gain experience as well; remaining in Wutan City could not support his path to becoming a peak expert.

Xiao Jie had once remained in Wutan City throughout an entire Simulation, only to find himself unable to advance even a single step after reaching the peak of Dou Zong. In the end, he had been forced to leave.

So he had to go. He could also take a look at the wonders of this Battle Through the Heavens World.

He had not neglected his Dou Technique training during these seven years. He had cultivated three Earth-tier Dou Techniques: the movement technique Lightning Flash Thunder Sound, the low Earth-tier Dou Technique Heaven-Burning Palm, and a low Earth-tier sonic Dou Technique, Mad Dragon Roar. Combined with the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill he had obtained from the Simulator, their effects became even stronger.

Earth-tier Dou Techniques were difficult to cultivate, especially Lightning Flash Thunder Sound, the mid Earth-tier movement technique. He had only managed to master it through the life insights he acquired from the Simulator.

He had also cultivated five Xuan-tier techniques. After all, Earth-tier Dou Techniques consumed too much Dou Qi, and Xiao Jie had yet to devour any Heavenly Flames, while his cultivation method was still only low Yellow-tier. But once he went out and found a safe place, he could begin devouring Heavenly Flames.

At present, the Simulation Space contained the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Mystic Yellow Flame. Adding the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tager Desert, his cultivation method should at least be able to advance to high Xuan-tier.

After devouring the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Jie's strength would soar. It would make his future plans for Han Feng's Heavenly Flame and the Heavenly Flames of Jia Nan Academy far easier, and he could also visit the place where he had obtained the Mystic Yellow Flame in that Life Simulation and claim it.
