Yao Ling: First Come, First Served, Sisters!
Before we knew it, two and a half days had passed.
During this time, while Yan Protector, the members of the Flower Sect were also recovering their own condition. As time went by, a heart-palpitating sense of oppression emanated from the Heavenly Demon Blood Pool in the heart of the mountain range. Coupled with the Xiao Yan left behind in the mountain, this area almost became a Forbidden Ground zone.
After all, although Xiao Yan's Dou Qi realm is currently only at the Nine-Star Peak Dou Zun, if he were to release his pressure, even the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python at the Five-turn Peak Dou Zun would not be as oppressive as Xiao Yan's physical body, which is comparable to the Dragon-Phoenix at the Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun.
Many powerful individuals passed by during this time, but after sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from Xiao Yan, they all unanimously chose to take a detour.
They all came for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, so naturally they wouldn't fight to the death with the ferocious beasts in this Ancient Wasteland Region.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the pressure alone caused the Dou Qi of some weaker Dou Zun expert to stagnate and even their control over Spatial Strength to become sluggish, the strength of this ferocious beast must have reached a terrifying level.
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Demon Blood Pool deep within the mountain, the once incomparably crimson water had almost completely vanished without a trace.
The energy within had been completely absorbed into Xiao Yan's body, while the impurities were thoroughly burned away by Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames.
In the center of the completely dried-up blood pool, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by a huge dark purple energy phantom, which was the third level of Xiao Yan's Azure Jade Treasure Body cultivation, the Azure Jade Treasure Form.
However, judging from its color, calling it a "purple jade treasure" might be more accurate.
"Buzz!"
Seemingly having finally and completely refined the energy in the Heavenly Demon Blood Pool, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. Then, his entire body shone with a brilliant dark purple light, which spread outwards layer by layer, making the dark purple phantom around him even more solid.
At the same time, an invisible wave suddenly erupted from Xiao Yan's body, instantly sweeping across the entire cave. All the white bones inside the cave were completely shattered by this terrifying energy wave, and the entire mountain peak trembled due to the impact of this energy wave.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan's aura began to surge, and almost instantly, he broke through the bottleneck and entered a new realm!
First-Turn Dou Zun Peak!
His robes began to flutter without wind, and his long hair danced in the air. Suddenly, his eyes opened, revealing a dark purple flame!
"Azure Jade Treasure Form!"
With a low shout, the dark purple light surrounding Xiao Yan solidified into a dark purple treasure image that was eleven zhang tall, with a dark purple sun floating behind his head, which was the sign of the third level of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body reaching perfection.
The two body-refining Dou Technique now seemed to complement each other perfectly!
After the treasure image was completely formed, Xiao Yan's figure had also merged with the treasure image, becoming one with it.
"This method of revealing one's true form is quite interesting..."
Xiao Yan, who had conjured up a precious image, stroked his chin thoughtfully and said...
This precious image reminded him of the Supreme Celestial Body of the Great Thousand World.
To be honest, he didn't know anything about the Great Thousand World originally; it was Hun Li Li who told him about it.
In this Great Thousand World, any powerful individual who reaches the Supreme Realm can cultivate Supreme Celestial Body.
In a sense, this Azure Jade Treasure Form can be regarded as a minor Supreme Celestial Body. Although it does not have the world-destroying power of Supreme Celestial Body, its boost to combat power is still considerable.
No wonder the Azure Jade Treasure Body mentioned that after cultivating this Dou Technique to its ultimate height of thirty-three zhang, its power is comparable to Intermediate Heaven Tier Dou Technique.
The fact that he could condense such a massive body from his internal Dou Qi and blood qi speaks volumes about the energy contained within. Coupled with Xiao Yan's already formidable physical strength and combat prowess, as well as his terrifying speed as Dragon-Phoenix, it's safe to say that both his left and right fists deal high damage, making his combat power far beyond that of ordinary people.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yan has only reached the minor completion stage of the third level of this Dou Technique, and has only managed to condense an eleven-zhang-long treasure image, so its aura is not particularly oppressive.
If one could cultivate the third level to perfection, the imposing presence of the thirty-three-zhang-long treasure would exceed one hundred meters, and the oppressive feeling would surely be quite terrifying.
After experiencing the perspective of the eleven-zhang-tall giant, Xiao Yan withdrew his supernatural powers, transformed back into his normal two-meter-tall form, and with a single step, tore through space to reach the mountain peak.
Xiao Yan's breakthrough had caused quite a stir, so everyone had already gathered around. Now that they saw Xiao Yan emerge from seclusion, they quickly surrounded him.
"He's First-Turn Dou Zun Peak! What terrifying talent!"
The Great Elder could see Xiao Yan's current cultivation level at a glance and couldn't help but sigh.
For ordinary people cultivating, it's not uncommon for them to spend several years, ten years, or even decades accumulating the process of compressing their Dou Qi.
How long has it been? Xiao Yan has already completed a compression of Dou Qi and advanced to the First-Turn Dou Zun Peak!
Just a few months ago, Xiao Yan was only Four-Star Dou Zun!
Such a rapid pace of improvement is truly ashamed of one's own abilities.
Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran gazed at Xiao Yan's powerful and spirited figure, both with a look of intoxication in their eyes.
Their men are just that outstanding!
"Young President, congratulations!"
The elders of the Flower Sect also bowed and offered their congratulations.
"Thank you all, elders. Without further ado, now that I'm done, let's head straight for the Ancient Domain Platform!"
Xiao Yan returned the greeting with a cupped hand and directly stated his thoughts.
The elders naturally had no objections, but they still turned their gaze to their sect leader, Yun Yun.
"Then let's set off!"
Yun Yun, of course, listened to her husband, and seeing this, she quickly expressed her opinion.
"Alright, let's get going!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan laughed heartily, then waved his sleeve, enveloping everyone in a purple-gold light. He then led everyone, tearing through space and speeding towards the Ancient Domain Platform deep within the Ancient Wasteland Region.
The territory of this Ancient Heavenly Demon Python was quite a distance from the Ancient Domain Platform. Normally, it would take at least three days to travel there. However, with Xiao Yan tearing through space to travel, it took less than two and a half hours. When the group reappeared in the Ancient Wasteland Region after Xiao Yan tore through space, they could already vaguely see the blurry shadow of the Ancient Domain Platform.
However, having reached this point, Xiao Yan couldn't continue tearing through space to travel further; it would attract too much attention.
After all, even a Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun expert who has reached the Half-Saint realm in the Ancient Wasteland Region does not dare to easily enter the void to travel. In the vast void, it is not an easy thing to determine the direction.
Traveling through the void and traveling by opening Space Channel are two completely different things.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the site of the Ancient Domain Platform was once an ancient battlefield where many top-tier experts perished, creating a unique and strange pressure that could deter ferocious beasts from entering.
Furthermore, the Ancient Domain Platform is located at the junction of the central and deep parts of the Ancient Wasteland Region, which is a key node on a well-known optimal route. Therefore, it has been chosen by many forces as the best foothold in the Ancient Wasteland Region.
Subsequently, under Xiao Yan's leadership, no ferocious beasts dared to provoke them along the way, and the group arrived at the Ancient Domain Platform smoothly.
The Ancient Domain Platform looks like a huge plaza, but judging from the broken walls and ruins around the outer edge, it originally resembled a gladiatorial arena.
After flying into the Ancient Domain Platform area, the group landed on the ground.
The all-female cast, excluding Xiao Yan, along with the Flower Sect's iconic sect attire and the subtle elegance they exuded, also attracted considerable attention.
Many people's gazes were not on the elders of the Flower Sect, nor on Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, the two young and beautiful women, but rather on Xiao Yan.
Firstly, the group from the Flower Sect was clearly led by Xiao Yan. Secondly, the people on the outer perimeter of the Ancient Domain Platform were not very strong. Therefore, just one glance at Xiao Yan was enough to make them feel a sense of crisis that they would die if they looked at him again. It was as if they were facing not a young man who looked to be only about twenty years old, but a ferocious beast with extremely terrifying combat power.
This is naturally a side effect of absorbing the energy from the Heavenly Demon Blood Pool, as well as the further strengthening of my physical body and the further improvement of my Dou Qi realm.
Of course, this was also because Xiao Yan deliberately didn't conceal his aura, intentionally letting these people see his strength, which could also avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Unsurprisingly, after realizing Xiao Yan's strength, many people withdrew their attention to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves.
Knowing that his Xun'er and the other sisters must be in the center of the Ancient Domain Platform, Xiao Yan headed straight for the center of the plaza.
Having not seen them for many years, he was also curious about what level they had reached in their cultivation.
Soon, the central area of the plaza came into view. There was a stone platform with a diameter of several hundred feet and a height of two meters. The crowd on the platform was noticeably sparser, but each small group was quite powerful, with at least one Peak Dou Zun expert who had compressed their Dou Qi leading the group.
But Xiao Yan was already strong enough that he dared to challenge even Dou Sheng level experts, so he didn't care too much about how strong these people were, since they couldn't possibly be stronger than him!
Leading everyone onto the stone platform, Xiao Yan glanced around and a broad smile appeared on his face.
He saw many familiar figures, but the most familiar one was naturally the beautiful girl who was his childhood sweetheart, dressed in a flowing blue dress with wide sleeves.
"Xun'er..."
Xiao Yan murmured her name, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Xun'er is now eighteen years old, and her delicate and beautiful face truly made Xiao Yan lose his composure for a moment.
Although he could see the phantom of Xun'er's Dou Qi when he cultivated the Emperor Seal Art over the years, it was never as exciting as seeing her in person now.
Xun'er also looked over as if she sensed something, and then her pair of bright, beautiful eyes became much brighter.
"Brother Xiao Yan!"
Her face was full of joy, and she was about to stand up to greet her Brother Xiao Yan when a figure flew out and landed beside Xiao Yan!
Xiao Yan! It really is you!
A voice filled with the excitement of a young girl rang out. The aloof beauty with flowing blue hair approached with great enthusiasm and grabbed Xiao Yan's arm. Her intimate manner left the Yao Clan members not far behind her completely dumbfounded.
One of the white-haired youths, in particular, clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage at seeing his beloved younger sister being abducted by the blond-haired man!
Damn it, is this the Xiao Family's Yao Tian that Ling'er keeps talking about all day long?!
Their momentum is impressive, but I wonder about their actual strength.
"Senior Sister Yao?"
Xiao Yan watched as the first person to come up to him secretly sniffed and inhaled the Yao Ling, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
This is truly unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable!
Immediately afterward, another figure landed in front of Xiao Yan, smiling and saying:
"Long time no see, boyfriend!"
Huo Zhi, wearing a scarlet veil, also came before Xiao Yan. She looked Xiao Yan over, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes.
The Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yan's body is becoming increasingly terrifying; it even surpasses the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within Xun'er's body!
"Junior Brother Xiao Yan, your physical abilities are quite formidable!"
Seeing that Yao Ling and Huo Zhi had gone up, Shi Xuanxuan followed suit.
However, as expected of someone who cultivates the body, her focus is different from others.
Ling Yanfei had already moved gracefully to stand in front of Xiao Yan, her gaze carefully examining this younger boyfriend who both intrigued and reassured her. She spoke gently:
"Aunt Jing just told me that she's not even confident she can beat you anymore. After all these years, you've surpassed all of us. You've worked so hard."
Perhaps because of the years she spent studying at the Sound Valley, Ling Yanfei now speaks as if she's singing, her voice ethereal and melodious, making Xiao Yan's mood even more wonderful.
Caw! All those years of hard work, and this is it!
But at this moment, whether on or below the stone platform, everyone who noticed Xiao Yan's commotion had their eyes red.
Ling Yanfei was alright. She came with Li Lingjing and several elders from Sound Valley, but her goddess-like beauty, which couldn't be hidden even by a veil, captivated many people.
But Yao Ling, Huo Zhi, and Shi Xuanxuan are all from Ancient Clans!
They all have such a close relationship with this young man named Xiao Yan?
What makes this kid so special?!
Oh my god!!!
"Brother Xiao Yan!"
Xun'er was stunned for a moment, and then these sisters who had no sense of martial ethics beat her to it. Each one of them was faster than the last, which made her very anxious!
Forget about being reserved, she lifted her skirt and ran over quickly.
Fortunately, her older sisters knew how to take care of their younger sister, so they made way for her, allowing Xun'er to rush directly into Xiao Yan's arms.
That's it, the Ancient Domain Platform is completely destroyed!
There are only seven Ancient Clans in total, and four noble ladies from each race, along with a disciple from the Sound Valley whose temperament is no less than theirs, are all so intimate with this bastard named Xiao Yan. Is he here to steal the Bodhi Ancient Tree's opportunity, or is he just here to show off?
While others enjoy the blessings of having multiple partners, they only have two or three companions around them.
There are five of them, and they're all of such high status!
Even the two people behind him didn't seem like ordinary people!
As for the elders of the Flower Sect, they were ignored.
In the distance, watching Xun'er tightly embracing Xiao Yan, Gu Qingyang shook his head helplessly and sighed to his brothers beside him:
"It's been many years, Brother Xiao Yan, you're still as dashing and debonair as ever!"
