The Demon Saint's Information
"Bring out those three Ancient Map you have as well. Although you said so back then, I still want to see them with my own eyes."
As Ninth-Grade Alchemist, Old Yao was clearly very interested in Heavenly Flames of the level of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. He smiled and waved his hand to seal off and distort the surrounding space, urging him on.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan suppressed his wild joy and became more solemn. With a thought, ancient Fragmented Map flew out of his Storage Ring, lined up in front of him.
It is said to be four Ancient Map, but there are actually five pieces, because one of the Ancient Map was divided into two pieces by Hai Bodong using special methods.
It can only be said that Elder Hai's map-making skills are probably unmatched by many in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
With the power of Dou Emperor) and the strength of Dou Ling), he separated the map created by the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint Purifying Lotus Demon Saint.
That's outrageous!
Although Xiao Yan was mature beyond his years, he couldn't help but feel excited and a little flustered at this moment. He rubbed his hands together before starting to piece the five Ancient Map together along the edges of the patterns.
This wasn't difficult to work with; Xiao Yan easily pieced it together into a complete Ancient Map.
However, the completed Ancient Map only showed a landscape pattern, which looked ordinary and unremarkable, with no clues whatsoever.
Hua Yu was completely out of the loop. Ever since Old Yao said, "You said it back then," she hadn't understood what was going on. She could only tell that, in the current situation, the Ancient Map that Xiao Yan had specially brought her and Yao Chen to hunt down the Scorpion Demon Three Fiends didn't seem to be as valuable as they had imagined.
Xiao Yan naturally knew the clues behind this, so he wasn't in a hurry. He simply smiled calmly, and then the Six-Harmony Heaven-Annihilating Flame and the Eight Desolation Destruction Flame within his body merged, transforming into a dark purple flame that rose up in his palm. With a flick of the flame, it swallowed the Ancient Map!
Old Yao knew this was a necessary process and didn't say anything, but Hua Yu was almost shocked by Xiao Yan's reckless methods.
However, trusting Xiao Yan, she didn't say anything and continued watching silently.
Upon seeing this, she was suddenly startled!
The seemingly tattered ancient scroll showed no signs of being ignited, let alone Heavenly Flames to ashes, even amidst the terrifying Heavenly Flames that filled her with dread.
However, the dark purple flame of the Six-Harmony Heaven-Annihilating Flame Annihilation Flame, now fused with the Eight Desolation Destruction Flame, has surpassed the power of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, which ranks fourth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
According to Xiao Yan's calculations, once he truly merges the Eight Desolation Destruction Flame, the power of the newly formed Heavenly Flames will likely be comparable to the Purifying Lotus Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and might even be slightly superior.
After all, that was a flame created by the fusion of seven Heavenly Flames, which meant that one-third of the Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flames ranking list were now in Xiao Yan's possession. At that time, the newly created Heavenly Flames might undergo a qualitative change!
If he could also fuse with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, it would be equivalent to more than one-third of the Heavenly Flames being fused into one by Xiao Yan, and even four of them would be among the top ten Heavenly Flames.
In this way, Xiao Yan felt that in terms of flame intensity alone, even a super Heavenly Flames like the Nihility Devouring Flame, which had reached the level of Nine-Star Dou Saint, was not intimidating at all!
As expected, the combined dark purple flames were no less powerful than the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Xiao Yan only slightly increased the intensity, and the surrounding space was immediately distorted.
At the same time, the patterns in the Ancient Map gleamed brightly, as if something was about to break free from its seal.
Xiao Yan raised the temperature again, and small cracks began to appear in the space, revealing the dark void. At this moment, the seal of the Ancient Map seemed to be completely refined. Streams of landscape patterns flew out from the Ancient Map and finally transformed into several rows of ancient characters, which floated in mid-air in front of the three of them.
Although Xiao Yan was considered a cultured man, he didn't really understand this ancient script, so he subconsciously looked at Old Yao.
"Twin Moons Appear Together, nine stars unite, the tides of heaven and earth surge, and demonic fire descends upon the world."
Old Yao a seasoned veteran; he recognized these ancient characters and read them aloud, clearly recognizing the content that Xiao Yan was familiar with.
Hua Yu, being a veteran in the field, also took the initiative to explain to her young boyfriend:
"The Twin Moons Appear Together unification of nine stars describes a special celestial phenomenon. However, I recall that such a phenomenon only occurs once every thousand years. The celestial tides are anomalies caused by this celestial phenomenon. In other words, when these celestial phenomena and anomalies appear, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame that you have been longing for will descend upon the world."
The Old Yao shook his head helplessly:
"Judging by the time, it has been 987 years since the last celestial tide, which means you have a full thirteen years left..."
Honestly, he felt that if Xiao Yan were given another thirteen years, Xiao Yan might already be able to spin the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame like a top.
Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
The early appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree is not a big deal, after all, this thing hasn't appeared for nearly ten thousand years, and it doesn't have to be subject to the rule of appearing only once every thousand years.
But the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is quite different!
This thing only opens the space that seals the demonic fire when Twin Moons Appear Together and nine stars are in harmony.
As for other times... even the Soul Clan probably wouldn't be able to find a way to enter.
Xiao Yan was truly at a loss for what to do at this moment.
To be honest, he was just waiting for the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and his group to openly and legitimately bring his girlfriends, who came from the seven Ancient Clans, in to slaughter the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, and then have a happy party!
But those thirteen years are simply too long to wait!
However, it was too early to worry about this now, so after thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Yan decided to leave this trouble to his future self.
As for now...
He looked down at the Ancient Map that remained motionless amidst the dark purple Heavenly Flames and gently touched it.
Swish!
The black Demonic Lotus emblem on the Ancient Map seemed to come alive, transforming into a black beam that shot directly into Xiao Yan's brow.
The sudden turn of events caused Hua Yu's expression to change drastically!
Old Yao couldn't help but clench his fists. Although Xiao Yan had mentioned the methods left behind by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, he was still somewhat nervous, fearing that Xiao Yan's soul would be instantly refined by the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint and directly possessed.
"I'm fine. With my brother Devourer here, the Demon Saint's technique can't harm me."
Xiao Yan waved his hand, indicating that Old Yao and Hua Yu didn't need to worry.
His soul is now protected by the Ancestor Symbol. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Xiao Yan does not intentionally burn his soul, even if the Hun Tian Di comes and slaps him, he can rely on the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to escape with his soul body!
This is the confidence that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol gave him!
Moreover, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol contains the Devouring Divine Temple, which in turn contains the Master of Devouring Primordial Spirit of the Devouring Divine Temple Lord.
Although they couldn't defeat the Hun Tian Di, escaping to save their lives wasn't difficult.
At this moment, a ball of light the size of a fist was quietly floating between Xiao Yan's brows.
Xiao Yan knew this was the method of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint, and since his soul was protected by the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, he was not panicked. After exchanging some soul power with the ball of light, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
There's a chance!
Although the ball of light didn't exchange much information with him, he still gleaned the information he cared about most: once Xiao Yan was strong enough, he could activate the power within the ball of light, allowing him to tear through space, enter the Demonic Flame Space, and collect the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
"No problem, it is indeed the method of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint. Furthermore, if my strength reaches the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng, I can actively tear open a passage into the Demonic Flame Space."
Xiao Yan smiled and said to Old Yao.
"Well, then this time limit isn't a big deal for you."
Upon hearing this, Old Yao visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He had met that otherworldly senior known as the Master of Devouring before and knew that in his prime, his strength was probably no weaker than that of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint.
Now that the Master of Devouring Primordial Spirit has been repaired, and with that strange Devouring Ancestral Symbol, there's no way the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint could refine Xiao Yan's soul.
"The methods of the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint?"
Still oblivious to the situation, Hua Yu felt even more confused at this moment.
Wait, what are those two, master and apprentice, talking about?
Why can't I understand?
However, she did know about the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint. This person was an unparalleled powerhouse who was active ten thousand years ago and was known as the one who came closest to becoming Dou Emperor in that era.
"Oh, this is how it is."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan briefly introduced Hua Yu to a series of information about the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint.
As for more detailed information, that can only be revealed after the two of them know each other inside and out.
Although Hua Yu could sense that Xiao Yan was deliberately concealing some information, as an understanding older sister, she certainly wouldn't pry too deeply at this time. After a moment's thought based on the available information, she earnestly instructed:
"In any case, you should still be careful. That Purifying Lotus Demon Saint's style is somewhat strange and unpredictable. Many ancient books only contain a few words about him."
Xiao Yan knew that this was his beautiful aunt Hua Yu showing concern for him, so he nodded readily and said, "Okay, I'll be careful, don't worry."
"Although time seems plentiful, you may not actually have that much time. In any case, you still need to focus all your efforts on breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm. Fortunately, the Bodhi Ancient Tree has appeared ahead of schedule, which is indeed an opportunity for you. You must seize it!"
The Old Yao also offered his advice with a solemn expression.
The ten years that Hun Li Li and Xiao Yan mentioned back then are now less than a year away. At most, Hun Tian Di's injuries will be fully healed within a year. At that time, the Soul Clan will definitely begin to take action.
Putting everything else aside, Xiao Yan has to save the Ling Clan!
Otherwise, his senior Ling Yanfei, would face the loss of her family and home.
"To attain sainthood through the Bodhi Ancient Tree, one must first obtain the Bodhi Heart, but the Bodhi Heart is not so easy to obtain."
Hua Yu frowned slightly and said in a somewhat heavy tone.
Xiao Yan, however, was quite optimistic, and said with a smile:
"This matter is easy."
He's now 70% certain that the Bodhi Ancient Tree is targeting him.
He is probably the only one on the entire continent with the ability and the willingness to help the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Seeing Xiao Yan's confident demeanor, Hua Yu still felt somewhat strange, because she knew that Xiao Yan was by no means an arrogant or complacent person. His current confidence must be due to some kind of reliance that she did not know about.
Sigh, I really want to know what this reliance is!
Although she was curious, she was too embarrassed to act coquettishly in front of Xiao Yan, her former Old Yao, so she could only pout and remain silent.
"However, there's something you need to be careful about. You don't have any Bodhi Seed this time. According to what you told me before, these Bodhi Seed are a key... uh, a tool? Anyway, just to be on the safe side, we'll have to see if we can get our hands on these Bodhi Seed after we return to the Danta."
After pondering for a moment, the Old Yao offered his earnest advice.
"Yes, I instructed Elder Sheng about this beforehand. He has been keeping an eye on Bodhi Seed for me recently. The Dan, Cao, and Ye families are also keeping an eye on this matter, since we can't rely on the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva from the Black Corner Region this time."
Xiao Yan nodded and said with a smile.
After settling in Danta, he was already aware of the possibility that he might not be able to obtain the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. He specially arranged for someone to help him search for the relevant Bodhi Seed. In addition, he also asked Great Elder Su Qian to keep an eye out for information about the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. If he found any, he asked Elder Su Qian to bid for it on his behalf and then send him a message.
However, he has been busy cultivating lately and hasn't paid attention to the progress of obtaining the Bodhi Seed. He'll just go back and ask Elder Sheng and the others.
"Hehe, you're quite observant."
Upon hearing this, the Old Yao shook his head in speechless disbelief; he hadn't actually paid attention to this matter.
After all, he spent his days in the courtyard of the Xuan Yi, spending his time either exchanging feelings or refining medicine; he really didn't care about anything else.
As for Venerable Feng, after his resurrection, he stayed in the Danta for a while before returning to the Starfall Pavilion to take care of its affairs. When he left, he complained quite a bit about how Old Yao, the proper Pavilion Master, was irresponsible.
Before the Old Yao could say anything, Xuan Yi glared at Venerable Feng.
She's just been resurrected and is treasuring it dearly!
How could we let Old Yao go when we were so deeply in love, leaving her alone in her empty room?
Besides, it's not time for Old Yao to officially return to work yet; what's wrong with taking a couple of days off to relax?
Venerable Feng, having lost all interest in women, could only give his old friend a "good luck" look before leading Xiao Yan reluctant Mu Qingluan back to the Starfall Pavilion.
"Haha, isn't that a good lesson from you! Let's go back to Danta."
In response to Old Yao's praise, Xiao Yan returned the compliment, then called Hua Yu and Old Yao to embark on their return journey.
He planned to go back and study the Azure Jade Treasure Body to see if he could develop a cultivation method for the fourth level of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body.
That way, we'll have another option when we go to the Ancient Wasteland Region.
After all, this Azure Jade Treasure Body is a genuine Heaven Tier Battle Skill, so it must have some extraordinary aspects.
"Okay, let's go!"
Upon hearing this Old Yao smiled and nodded. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Space Channel twisted and formed in front of him.
The three of them rushed in and returned to the Danta as quickly as possible.
