Heavenly Rank Advanced Technique: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!

"Brother Xiao Ze, you're so naughty." Xun Er lightly tapped his chest with her little hands, her eyes full of reproach.

"Hahaha, since you've gotten chubby, then let Brother Xiao Ze help you work it off." Xiao Ze's eyes held a smile as he scooped her up in his arms, then pressed his face against her.

At once, a warm current surged through his heart.

Xun Er's maternal instincts overflowed. She wrapped her arms around his head and held him tightly against her chest.

In an instant, Xiao Ze could no longer breathe, as if he had ascended to immortality.

It was wonderful beyond words.

That night, the sound of flutes and pipes rang ceaselessly through the loft.

It was not until the sun was high in the sky the next day that they finally parted from each other.

Lying on her side in his arms, Xun Er's cheeks were flushed with a tipsy blush. She was as delicate as a peach blossom kissed by morning dew, her skin gleaming with a honeyed sheen.

The night's passion had seemed to carry her into a land of bliss.

Everything went without saying.

Just then, Xiao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly as the system's voice sounded softly beside his ear.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, on unlocking the achievement 'A Long Drought Welcomed by Timely Rain'!]

[Achievement Reward: Heavenly Rank Advanced Technique, One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!]

[Wife Reward: Dou Zong cultivation!]

One Qi Transforms into Three Purities?

Hearing those words, Xiao Ze was overjoyed.

He knew about One Qi Transforms into Three Purities! With this technique, he could conjure three clones, each capable of independently unleashing Dou Techniques to attack.

What was more, if the three clones joined forces, they could perform "Three Purities Return to One," briefly condensing an "Avatar of the Dao" that ignored suppression from higher realms and defeated an enemy with a single strike!

With this Dou Technique, even though he was only a Dou Zong, he had confidence that he could contend with a Dou Zun expert!

"Xun Er, you're my treasure." Xiao Ze happily pulled her into his arms and planted a fierce kiss on her.

After just one night, Xun Er had given him such a wonderful gift. How could he possibly let her down?

So their little game for two continued.

Xun Er was left dazed by him, but faced with Xiao Ze's enthusiastic advances, how could she bring herself to refuse?

Besides, she could clearly feel the Dou Qi within her body surging wildly, with signs that she was about to break through to Dou Zong...

The two of them lived shamelessly carefree days like this.

It was not until a week later that Xiao Ze stepped out of his room for the first time and drew a breath of fresh air.

As for Xun Er?

She was lying in bed, resting. It seemed she would be unable to get out of bed for a while.

After a week of high-intensity battles, even though she had successfully advanced to Dou Zong, she had still been utterly defeated by Xiao Ze, who had spared no effort.

After leaving the loft, Xiao Ze headed straight for the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.

On the surface, the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was simply a place for students to cultivate.

But Xiao Ze knew full well that beneath the tower lay a vast treasure trove.

It included the Fallen Heart Flame, Venerable Skyfire's soul, a second Fallen Heart Flame, and Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion.

However, he did not yet have the ability to reach Tou She Ancient God.

So the main purpose of this trip was to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame and bring Venerable Skyfire's soul out with him.

Inside the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, fire energy was especially dense. The deeper he went, all the way to the lowest level, the hotter it became. Even a Dou Huang expert would be unable to endure it for long.

But Xiao Ze was already a late-stage Dou Zong, and with two Heavenly Flames at his side, the so-called high temperature could do nothing to him.

Instead, it became nourishment for his Flame Mantra to absorb.

However, just as he was about to dive into the underground magma, a gigantic, transparent Fire Python suddenly sensed something. As if it had noticed the gaze from above, it abruptly raised its enormous head. Its triangular pupils, wreathed in invisible flames, fixed on Xiao Ze at the entrance of the deep cavern!

"Just a mere Fire Python dares to block my way?" Xiao Ze showed not the slightest panic.

This creature would have been troublesome for an ordinary Dou Zong, but to Xiao Ze, it was nothing special.

The next moment, he raised his hand and slammed his palm down. A terrifying wave of energy surged forth in an instant.

"Scree!"

The transparent Fire Python was roused by the attack. Its enormous body slapped hard against the magma, unleashing a violent, piercing shock wave.

In a flash, its massive body, nearly twenty or thirty zhang long, shot up through the deep cavern like an invisible bolt of lightning, wrapped in searing heat and violent energy!

It was determined to kill the human before it.

Perhaps its previous opponent had been Great Elder Su Qian, giving it confidence to fight back, but Xiao Ze's palm strike was no ordinary attack.

With a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique unleashed, how could a mere sound-wave attack hope to break through?

It shattered the Fire Python's defenses almost instantly, and the terrifying suction soon devoured it completely.

After dealing with the transparent Fire Python, Xiao Ze finally saw the Fallen Heart Flame's true form.

It was colorless and transparent, its surging energy exceptionally violent. If it had not been sealed, the entire Inner Academy might have been transformed into a sea of flames.

Fortunately, he had the Flame Mantra, so devouring the Fallen Heart Flame was not difficult.

Though the Fallen Heart Flame was a hundred times unwilling to be devoured, there was nothing it could do.

It was already sealed, and Xiao Ze's cultivation was no weaker than a Dou Zun's. The Fallen Heart Flame could not resist in the slightest.

Who knew how much time had passed?

As the Fallen Heart Flame was devoured, Xiao Ze could clearly feel his cultivation growing. It was a completely new realm, one he had never entered before.

And with the Fallen Heart Flame gone, the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower could no longer improve anyone's cultivation.

Ever since Xiao Ze entered the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, Great Elder Su Qian had come here to watch and see what would happen.

Feeling the dramatic changes in the tower, a look of surprise appeared in the Great Elder's eyes. "He actually succeeded!"

"Great Elder, what happened in there? Why has the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower stopped working?"

At that moment, the elders from the tower's various levels came out one after another, looking at the Great Elder in confusion.

How had it suddenly stopped working?

The students inside the tower were cursing up a storm. After all, they had finally scraped together enough Fire Energy and had been looking forward to enjoying themselves. Now the Fire Energy was spent, but where were the benefits?

At that moment, everyone wanted to cry.

"That young man has already gone in." The Great Elder did not explain further.

Hearing this, the elders exchanged glances, their hearts filled with astonishment. The young man in question was naturally Xiao Ze.

They all knew about the Great Elder's visit to Maple City. The Great Elder had also told them about Xiao Ze. At first, they had not believed him, but they had never expected Xiao Ze to actually dare to go down—and to succeed so quickly.

"Great Elder, does this mean the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower will be useless from now on?"

The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was the foundation of the Inner Academy. Without it, wouldn't the students revolt?

"This... I can't say for sure." The Great Elder's expression was complicated.

Although the young man had promised to resolve the problem with the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, whether he could succeed remained a big question mark.

At the bottom of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, after completely devouring the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Ze successfully advanced to Dou Zun!

He had reached one-star Dou Zun!

Feeling the surging Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Ze could not stop the corners of his mouth from lifting. His eyes were full of delight.

With Dou Zun cultivation, and One Qi Transforms into Three Purities on top of that, ordinary Dou Zun experts would be no match for him.
