Primordial One-Qi Sect

When Xiao Yan and his companions arrived at the core hall of the sect ruins, they found that many powerful figures from various factions had already gathered there.

Many of them were people Xiao Yan knew.

For example, the Three Elders of Mulan, who were somewhat renowned; Shi Tian of the Lion Underworld Sect; Xie Shan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate; Elder Tianbao of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion; and the Jia Ma Imperial Family Prince of the Tianxin Empire...

In short, quite a few people came; it seems they've all gathered here.

In addition, Xiao Yan also sensed some hidden auras in the shadows. With his current Mid-Stage Spirit Realm soul power, even a Dou Zun expert would have nowhere to hide in his eyes.

The Soul Hall's Dou Zun...

Xiao Yan lowered his eyelids slightly.

Xiao Yan could sense that the Soul Hall's Dou Zun was only Three-Star Dou Zun. Xiao Yan didn't even need Old Yao to take action personally. He only needed to borrow the power of Venerable Skyfire to make his own strength reach the Peak Dou Zong, which would be enough to confront him head-on.

After all, he now possesses the soul power of the Mid-Stage Spirit Realm. If it weren't for the fact that many techniques in the Blood Soul Art require the bloodline power of the Soul Clan to unleash their full potential, he could easily use the power of his soul skills to fight against Dou Zun expert.

If he were to unleash the Fire Lotus, Xiao Yan was confident he could kill that Soul Hall Dou Zun directly!

The Tianxin Empire's branch hall only has two Dou Zun, the main hall master and the deputy hall master, and only one person entered the ruins space this time.

However, Xiao Yan intended to save his trump Dou Technique, the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, for the Alien Demon General. Therefore, he couldn't possibly reveal this move prematurely for the sake of the Soul Hall's Dou Zun.

Unfortunately, he had only barely mastered the Emperor Seal Art to the level of Earth Covering Seal, and he wasn't very proficient at it. Unlike the Mountain Opening Seal and the Sea Overturning Seal, Xiao Yan could skip the hand seal steps and start directly with zero frames.

Just as Xiao Yan was planning his next move, the voice of the Master of Devouring suddenly rang out:

"Huh? There's another expert here? She's quite pretty too, I've been secretly watching you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was also stunned. "Huh? An expert? How powerful is he?"

After a moment of silence, the Master of Devouring spoke in a slightly grave tone:

"The Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm, or, using your level system, the Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun."

"Ah!?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Not a buddy?

Who is it?

Do you think so highly of me?

"Don't worry, she doesn't seem to want to kill you. Instead, she's observing and scrutinizing you. She's probably not an enemy."

The Master of Devouring is a true veteran; even the combined age of Old Yao and Venerable Skyfire is less than half that of the Master of Devouring. He has truly seen countless people.

Hearing the Master of Devouring say this, Xiao Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he was still somewhat wary.

That level of powerhouse was terrifying even in the entire Central Plains. Xiao Yan truly dared not provoke them lightly, nor did he dare to let his guard down.

Although in front of a powerhouse of that level, with his strength, he probably wouldn't even have the right to self-destruct, Xiao Yan would not sit idly by and wait for his death.

"Alright, please keep an eye out for me. I really can't handle someone of that level."

After making a request, Xiao Yan refocused his attention on the people in the main hall.

"Yan Alliance!"

In less than half a minute, Xiao Yan heard a familiar voice behind him. It was the voice of Si Yuan, the Master of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, who had recently become his adopted brother-in-law.

"Master Si."

Xiao Yan turned around and led Queen Medusa and Zi Yan to greet them.

"I didn't expect Yan Alliance to have already found this place. Your methods are indeed extraordinary." Si Yuan said with a smile, then waved his hand, enveloping his six companions in Dou Qi before becoming serious and continuing, "Yan Alliance must have also discovered that the ruins here are definitely not from the Dou Qi Continent!"

"Yes, this ruin is just a fragment that drifted over from another continent, but what is certain is that the energy of heaven and earth on that continent is much denser than that on our side."

Xiao Yan nodded and said in a serious tone.

"That's right. According to the information we have, this sect is an ancient sect from another world. The people there do not cultivate Dou Qi, but cultivate a power called Yuan Power. When fighting, they use a kind of ' Dou Technique."

Besides, that world cultivates an ability corresponding to soul power—spiritual power. You are an alchemist with powerful soul power, so I think you have more to say about this. I just happened to obtain a scroll of spiritual secret techniques, which might allow you to unleash soul attacks!

In the end, Si Yuan actually took out a yellowed booklet from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Secret techniques of the spirit?"

Xiao Yan was also somewhat surprised: firstly, he hadn't expected Si Yuan to know so much and be so lucky as to obtain the spiritual secret technique; secondly, he hadn't expected Si Yuan to give him such a good thing directly.

"We'll be family sooner or later. I've seen this before, but I don't understand it. You're a genius, so you'll definitely be fine! If you can glean even a move or two from it, it would be even better if you could teach it to me."

Si Yuan rubbed his hands together and said with a smile.

Xiao Yan chuckled upon hearing this. Si Yuan's personality suited him quite well. He immediately took the booklet and said with a smile:

"Rest assured, if I can glean any techniques from this, I will definitely compile them and hand them over to Master Si."

Despite the protection of the Dou Qi barrier, Xiao Yan still chose to use a more formal form of address, just like Si Yuan.

After all, when you're at work, you have to be addressed by your job title!

"Haha, it's all thanks to you!" Si Yuan laughed heartily, then asked, "By the way, there's something called a Spirit Treasure in that world, a top-grade weapon. Unfortunately, I was unlucky and didn't get one. How's your harvest here?"

"So that thing is called a spiritual treasure? I've seen it before, but it was too broken, so I didn't want it."

Xiao Yan, looking annoyed, began to spout nonsense.

"Sigh, it's really useless when it's broken, after all, nobody in our Dou Qi Continent knows how to repair that kind of thing."

Si Yuan shook his head with some regret upon hearing this, but there wasn't much disappointment on his face.

"However, I did obtain some pills that are helpful for cultivation."

Xiao Yan changed the subject and handed Si Yuan the six Nirvana Pill he had casually condensed on the way here in order to learn how to control the Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

It's only polite to reciprocate; since the other party gave him a mysterious skill, he should naturally give them some elixirs in return.

"Oh? This pill has a pretty long shelf life."

Si Yuan raised an eyebrow, took the pill, sniffed it carefully, and then his eyes lit up.

"Just smelling it makes my Dou Qi feel restless; this pill is quite interesting."

Xiao Yan simply smiled faintly at this.

In fact, for a powerhouse at the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Realm, a few Nirvana Pill are not very useful. However, for Peak Dou Zong powerhouse who has never absorbed Nirvana power, the Nirvana Qi contained in these Nirvana Pill has a significant effect.

"By the way, you're here early. How's the Primordial Martial Stele?"

After putting away the bottle of Nirvana Pill, Si Yuan continued to ask questions.

"I don't know. I haven't explored the ruins much lately; I've been focusing on cultivation. There are many things about the ruins that I don't know much about."

Xiao Yan shook his head and spoke the truth.

"Cultivation?" Si Yuan frowned, and after examining Xiao Yan's aura, he was taken aback. "Your aura hasn't changed at all. What are you cultivating? It's not the martial arts here, is it?"

"No, I just took some medicinal herbs and my soul realm has improved somewhat. I'll take care of your breakthrough to Dou Zun later."

Xiao Yan waved his hand, then gave Si Yuan a meaningful smile.

"Dou Zun?"

Si Yuan was taken aback at first, then stared intently at Xiao Yan. After a moment, as if he had realized something, a look of wild joy appeared in his eyes.

He knew that his future brother-in-law's gift to his son Si Ming was a Sect Breaking Pill, and Xiao Yan himself was an extremely outstanding Seventh-Tier Alchemist.

The refinement of the soul's realm...

The promise to break through to the Dou Zun...

The meaning is quite obvious!

My brother-in-law is about to become Eighth-Grade Alchemist!

"Holy crap! Really?"

Si Yuan couldn't help but swear; only in this way could he perfectly express his feelings at this moment.

"Well, I need to go back to the Danta to have my alchemist level reassessed and take care of some other matters. Afterwards, I will personally travel to the Heavenly Snake Empire to bring you the pills and make some follow-up plans."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Very well, everything will proceed according to your plan! This is my personal token. With this token, you can freely enter and leave the Heavenly Snake Mansion without anyone daring to stop you!"

Si Yuan nodded quickly, then took out a black token with green snake patterns from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

He really wants to improve!

"Okay, sure."

Xiao Yan smiled and put away the token. Then his gaze fell on the core of the main hall, where there was a stone platform and an ancient stone tablet standing quietly on it. There were two unfamiliar characters on the stone tablet, but Xiao Yan could guess that the two characters were "Taichu".

The stone tablet exuded a mysterious aura, ethereal and intangible.

"Senior Devourer, what exactly is that Primordial Martial Stele?"

Xiao Yan asked himself quietly.

To get information, you should naturally ask the locals.

The chances of these people from the Dou Qi Continent obtaining detailed information about the "Primordial Martial Stele" are extremely slim.

"This Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele is a divine artifact ranked thirteenth on the Ancient Divine Object Ranking."

The moment the Master of Devouring spoke, Xiao Yan's eyes widened.

"The thirteenth divine artifact?"

Xiao Yan felt his heart pounding.

This is really good stuff!

But soon, the Master of Devouring's indifferent words extinguished the burning passion in Xiao Yan's heart.

"Don't rush, you can't touch this thing right now. That Alien Demon General was suppressed by this thing, which is why he hasn't been able to recover for so many years. If you take it away, everyone here will die."

"Alright..."

Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless. Being able to look at such a good thing but not be able to take it was truly frustrating for him.

The Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele is quite slender overall. In a sense, it is a thickened and reinforced Heavy Profound Ruler without a handle, which would probably be very convenient to use.

"To possess a divine artifact of this caliber, this sect must be quite extraordinary, right?"

Xiao Yan thought for a moment and then asked.

"Yes, this place was once the territory of a super sect in ancient times, the Primordial One-Qi Sect. Its sect leader, Yi Yuanzi, was also Reincarnation Realm expert back then. This place was once attacked by five alien Alien Demon King and ten Alien Demon General."

When I supported the Primordial One-Qi Sect back then, although I joined forces with Yi Yuanzi to kill those five Alien Demon Kings and also killed nine Alien Demon General, Yi Yuanzi was also seriously injured and died.

After I left, the Alien Demon General who was feigning death due to serious injuries absorbed the residual demonic energy of the other five Alien Demon Kings and nine Alien Demon General. After recovering from his injuries, he took advantage of the Primordial One-Qi Sect's unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack on the Deputy Sect Leader, who was also seriously injured, causing his death.

The rest of the Primordial One-Qi Sect members were no match for him, so they had to use the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele to sacrifice the entire sect's power to suppress him. The sect's space was completely sealed off until this part of my spiritual power, along with the Devouring Ancestral Symbol formed from my remaining body, fell into this place."

The voice of the Master of Devouring echoed in Xiao Yan's mind.

"So, this Alien Demon General isn't just any ordinary Alien Demon General?"

Xiao Yan grasped the key point.

"It's alright. The power of the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele- Suppressing Stele is so great that even if the Alien Demon King is suppressed, he will have difficulty breaking free. Even if he absorbs that demonic energy, he will still only be Alien Demon General. In recent years, I have also secretly used various methods to strengthen the seal, so he will not have any chance."

"The Master of Devouring said confidently."

"So, if we can use the power of the Primordial Demon-Suppressing Stele, dealing with that Alien Demon General shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Xiao Yan asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, even if it's the Alien Demon King, with me taking action, there's no chance of failure!"

The Master of Devouring remained domineering and arrogant, looking down upon the world with extreme confidence in his own strength.

He has survived Triple Reincarnation Tribulation and is a super strong person whose strength is second only to the Symbol Ancestor and the Ice Master. Even among the Alien Demon, only the Alien Demon Emperor can threaten him!

Even the Heavenly King Hall, he fears nothing!

In his eyes, an Alien Demon General was no different from an ant.

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan understood the Master of Devouring's meaning.

After all, this difference means that for Xiao Xuan, who only has a wisp of remnant soul left, dealing with the two Soul Clan Dou Sheng energy bodies in the sky would be as simple as slapping them.

"However, the methods of the Primordial One-Qi Sect are quite interesting. You should give them a good try later. If you can obtain the inheritance of the Primordial One-Qi Sect, it will be of great benefit to you."

The Master of Devouring quickly added.

"Could you elaborate a bit, senior?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat curious. Logically speaking, the cultivation systems of the two worlds were quite different, and there were also differences in martial arts and Dou Technique. For the Master of Devouring to speak of a sect's inheritance that would be of considerable benefit to him with such certainty, it must have some unique aspects.

"Besides the regular martial arts and spiritual techniques, the Primordial One-Qi Sect also has a unique method that is extremely effective against Alien Demon beings!"

The Master of Devouring explained with a smile.
