Xiao Yan looked somewhat dazedly at Yao Lao and Xiao Yang beside him.

Was this still the world he knew?

How was his rebuilding speed even slower than Xiao Yang's?

Even now, he had only just approached the Dou Qi Seventh Stage!

Yet Xiao Yang had directly broken through to become a Dou Zhe!

Was the Marrow Cleansing Pill really that powerful?

Just as Xiao Yan began doubting his life, Xiao Yang looked at Yao Lao and grinned.

"Hehe, Teacher, look, I've already broken through. So, about that cultivation method..."

Seeing Xiao Yang's ingratiating smile, Yao Lao could not help but laugh and scold him.

"You brat, no wonder you came looking for me the moment you broke through. So you wanted to ask me for a cultivation method."

Xiao Yan, standing nearby, also came back to his senses, his gaze toward Yao Lao carrying a trace of anticipation.

He was also curious about what kind of cultivation method Yao Lao claimed was even more bizarre than a Heaven Tier one.

Yao Lao had mentioned it to him a few days ago, yet refused to say what it was.

Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yang, clasped his hands behind his back, and put on the air of a reclusive master.

"Ahem, I'll give you two choices."

"One is a low-grade Earth Tier cultivation method. The other is a cultivation method even stranger than a Heaven Tier one, one that can evolve!"

"Which will you choose?"

Xiao Yan could no longer hold himself back.

"Teacher, can this cultivation method really evolve?"

Yao Lao's expression became extremely complicated.

"To be honest, I can't be certain."

"But in my opinion, the chance of successfully cultivating this method to its peak does not exceed twenty percent."

Xiao Yan's expression stiffened at those words.

"Twenty percent? It can't... it can't be that low, can it?"

Yao Lao sighed and spoke bitterly.

"I'm afraid it really is that low."

"For this cultivation method to evolve, it needs to devour Heavenly Flames!"

"In the early stages, it may be able to devour Beast Flame, but without devouring Heavenly Flames later on, it absolutely cannot evolve!"

"I do not doubt its potential, but the odds of successfully cultivating it are simply too low!"

Yao Lao fell silent for a moment before looking at Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan.

"You can both think it over carefully."

"You too, Little Flame. The faction behind your childhood sweetheart is extremely complicated."

"If you want to catch up to her and stand before her openly and proudly, you will need sufficient strength."

"A low-grade Earth Tier cultivation method may allow you to reach Dou Zun."

"But before that little girl, Dou Zun is far from enough."

Xiao Yan was silent for a moment.

"Then... can this evolving cultivation method give me that kind of power?"

Yao Lao shook his head.

"This nameless cultivation method, I have named it the 'Burning Mantra.'"

"For you, only by cultivating this method will you have a chance of obtaining that level of strength."

As he spoke, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yang beside him.

"As for Xiao Yang, to be honest, with your current talent, cultivating that low-grade Earth Tier method would guarantee that you become a Dou Zun."

"If you switch to another cultivation method later, your chances of becoming a Saint of Fighting will be extremely high."

"So, for you..."

At this point, Yao Lao gritted his teeth.

"For you, cultivating this Earth Tier method would actually be the safest choice."

He could not deceive his own heart.

He knew that Xiao Yang was different from Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yang did not have a goal like Xun'er, and his talent was already extraordinarily powerful.

Therefore, for Xiao Yang, the most important thing was still to proceed steadily.

Even if Xiao Yang cultivated the Burning Mantra, his chances of reviving him would be greater.

Yet Yao Lao still advised Xiao Yang to choose the low-grade Earth Tier cultivation method.

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yang felt somewhat moved.

He knew what kind of potential the Burning Mantra possessed.

He also knew that cultivating the Burning Mantra was the key to reviving Yao Lao.

After all, without cultivating the Burning Mantra, refining three Heavenly Flames would be far too difficult!

Xiao Yan, beside him, had a somewhat strange expression in his eyes.

"Teacher, you want Brother Yang to cultivate the low-grade Earth Tier method to play it safe, but when it comes to me, you want me to take the risk and cultivate the Burning Mantra?"

Yao Lao rubbed his withered old face, a trace of embarrassment flashing across it.

He gave an awkward laugh.

"From a certain perspective, I do hope that one of you can cultivate the Burning Mantra."

"To be honest, the Burning Mantra contains a method that can use three Heavenly Flames together to forge a body capable of housing a soul and revive me."

Looking at the Bone Flame Ring on Xiao Yan's hand, an almost imperceptible sorrow flashed through Yao Lao's eyes.

He looked at Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan, his face tinged with bitterness.

"Just take these words as the ramblings of an old man."

Yao Lao shook his head self-mockingly.

With a thought, two illusory scrolls, one black and one red, appeared before them.

"The red scroll is the low-grade Earth Tier cultivation method. The black one is the Burning Mantra."

"Choose for yourselves. Just consider your own circumstances."

"No matter what you choose, you will both remain my disciples in the future. I will not blame you for it."

Looking at the illusory scrolls before them, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance.

The two smiled freely and, as if of one mind, placed their hands on the illusory black scroll.

"Hehe, Teacher, you said it yourself. Without the Burning Mantra, I might not even be qualified to stand before Xun'er in the future."

At this point, Xiao Yan's face reddened, and he hurriedly explained.

"Ahem, what I mean is, as Xun'er's brother, I need to protect her properly!"

"I won't be able to do that without enough strength!"

Hearing Xiao Yan's added explanation, the looks Xiao Yang and Yao Lao gave him immediately became somewhat strange.

Seeing their strange expressions, Xiao Yan hurriedly changed the subject.

"Ahem, enough about me. Brother Yang, why did you choose the Burning Mantra too?"

"As for me, I also want to see the most magnificent sights at the peak of this continent."

"I do not want to merely become a Saint of Fighting!"

At that moment, a fiery glint flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

Looking at his two disciples, Yao Lao's eyes reddened, and the corners of them grew moist.

Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then directly grabbed the black illusory scroll.

The next moment, a stream of information surged straight into their minds.

Watching the two digest the information, Yao Lao silently thought to himself.

"I will definitely nurture you into the most outstanding alchemists!"

In his view, Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan's choice of the Burning Mantra was surely partly because of him.

Xiao Yang quickly finished digesting all the information.

He discovered with some surprise that even though this information did not exist in the form of a physical scroll, he could still view it.

He had never examined it carefully before.

At that moment, he was inspecting the information on the Burning Mantra.

[Burning Mantra (Level 10): Can devour Heavenly Flames and evolve without limit. It is the origin left behind after the fire-attribute Primordial Supreme Dharma Body shattered, a cultivation method that fell into the Dou Qi Continent and was passed down. Usage: With Dou Qi... Completeness: 70% Owner: Xiao Yang Can it be amplified: No]

Level 10—it was actually a Level 10 cultivation method!

As expected of the Burning Mantra!

Xiao Yang had never expected to encounter a Level 10 treasure in the Dou Qi Continent.

This was a treasure corresponding to the Emperor of Fighting of the Dou Qi Continent and the Supreme of the Great Thousand World!
