Tang San merely smiled without speaking.
When it came to repaying his master's kindness, he believed he was second to none.
With his help, his master Yu Xiaogang had not only broken through the level-thirty bottleneck he had never surpassed in his life, but had now reached level fifty.
After becoming a god, Tang San had even honored Yu Xiaogang as his adoptive father.
If the Exposure System could also display their story, it would surely move the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.
Yu Xiaogang's expression eased slightly at those words.
Although he knew the help he had given Tang San could not compare to what Yao Lao had done for Xiao Yan, he was still the teaching master of this god!
Across the entire continent, he could be called a "God Teacher."
Though the history books would not record exactly how much he had given on Tang San's path to growth, they would certainly immortalize the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul that he had proposed, along with the glory of being a "God Teacher."
Thinking of this, he could not help straightening his back, his face glowing with pride.
In the Shrouding Heavens World, God King Jiang Taixu looked at the Light Screen and sighed. "That young man in the image bears quite a resemblance to how you were back then."
In the past, he had given Ye Fan a second chance at life. Though he later died and vanished from the world, Ye Fan had not only erected his statues among all races, but had also used the Heavenly Emperor's origin to nurture his remnant body, eventually reviving him after countless years.
Given Heavenly Emperor Ye's status, he had no need to go to such painstaking lengths, yet Ye Fan had always remembered the kindness he had received.
In Jiang Taixu's eyes, Ye Fan's loyalty and devotion were in no way inferior to Xiao Yan's, perhaps even surpassing his—though there was naturally a measure of favoritism in that judgment.
Even if Ye Fan truly fell short of others, he would forever be the best in Jiang Taixu's eyes.
Ye Fan waved his hand and laughed. "Xiao Yan is Xiao Yan, and I am me."
Since they were both people who respected their masters and valued the Way, why compare them?
If there was any similarity, then we truly were the same kind of people.
In terms of strength, even Xiao Yan at the Dou Di realm could hardly stand alongside the Shrouding Heavens World.
But in temperament, the two were indeed quite alike: both free-spirited and unrestrained, loyal and righteous, with a touch of cunning darkness.
Of course, when it came to deep schemes, he believed himself superior; but in the weight they placed on loyalty, neither outdid the other.
He truly wanted to drink and converse with Xiao Yan, but unfortunately, the Light Screen could only display images from different worlds and could not allow them to communicate.
[Xiao Yan won first place at the Yao Clan's alchemy tournament, causing the Yao Clan to lose all face.] [Fortunately, although the Yao Clan chief was proud and arrogant, he was broad-minded.] [Not only did he publicly declare Xiao Yan the champion, he also sincerely invited Yao Lao back into the clan genealogy.] [This had been Yao Lao's lifelong wish.] [Though he had once been abandoned by the clan, he had always cared deeply for the Yao Clan.] [With the clan chief's mediation, the previously tense atmosphere gradually eased.] [However, the peace did not last long before the Soul Clan attacked once more!] [This time, they had actually sent a Seven-Star Dou Sheng and the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Nihility Devouring Flame!] [The Yao Clan exhausted the strength of its entire clan and barely managed to send Xiao Yan, his master, and the clan's surviving descendants out of danger.] [At the critical moment, Xiao Yan condensed an Eight-Colored Fire Lotus to blast open an escape route. He then swallowed a Ninth-grade Profound Pill and broke through to Six-Star Dou Sheng while fleeing!]
It could only be said that one favored by destiny was truly extraordinary.
Facing a Seven-Star expert with the body of a Five-Star Dou Sheng should have been like an egg striking a stone, with no chance of victory whatsoever.
After all, in the Dou Sheng realm, each difference of one star was as vast as heaven and earth, even greater than the gap between a Dou Sheng and a Dou Zun.
Yet Xiao Yan had actually crossed a two-star gulf, carved out a path with the Heaven-Burning Fire Lotus, and even broke through to Six-Star Dou Sheng while escaping!
The Heavens and Myriad Worlds were all shaken. Only today did they understand what a true Child of Destiny was.
Realms others could scarcely hope to reach came to him with ease; obstacles the world could not overcome were as flat ground beneath his feet. Others fell from cliffs and died, while he fell from cliffs and gained divine techniques. Others trapped in desperate situations could only await death, while he would always find a turning point at the edge of despair.
Good grief, how was anyone supposed to compete with that?
People could not help wondering: even if Hun Tiandi himself had acted back when Xiao Yan was merely at Three-Stage Dou Qi, some powerful expert would likely have descended from nowhere to aid him—Gu Yuan, for example!
Thinking of it this way, was becoming enemies with a Child of Destiny not simply seeking death?
At that thought, the villains of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds all felt a chill in their hearts. They could only pray that the Child of Destiny in their own world stood on the side of evil. Otherwise, how could they possibly defeat such a being?
Even if they noticed something was amiss early on and wanted to grind him to dust while he was still weak, all kinds of accidents would always make them fail at the final step. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as their opponent enacted the legend of "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."
How could they possibly contend with that?
[After advancing to Six-Star Dou Sheng, the initiative in the battle had quietly changed hands!] [Though there was still a gap between him and a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, he was no longer as powerless as before.] [Whether to fight or flee was entirely up to Xiao Yan!] [If he wished to leave, no one could stop him!] [At that very moment, reinforcements from the Ancient Clan arrived, leaving the Soul Clan pursuers no choice but to retreat in frustration.] [After Xiao Yan arrived at the Ancient Clan, he revealed the Soul Clan's scheme in full.] [The Ancient Clan immediately summoned the Lei Clan and Yan Clan to discuss a response!] [Yet this played directly into the Soul Clan's hands—while the chiefs of the two clans were gathered in the Ancient Clan, the Soul Clan secretly stole the Tuoshe Ancient Jade held by both clans!] [Furthermore, an insider within the Ancient Clan was exposed and handed over their clan's Tuoshe Ancient Jade as well!] [In the blink of an eye, the Soul Clan had gathered all seven pieces of ancient jade!] [The final piece was in Xiao Yan's hands!] [And the Soul Clan also held Xiao Yan's father as leverage!] [Hun Tiandi proposed exchanging the ancient jade for the hostage. Though Xiao Yan was utterly unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.] [However, he demanded that the exchange be conducted in an open area, and the two sides agreed on a period of half a month.] [In such a short half-month, even with Xiao Yan's extraordinary talent, it would be difficult for him to make a qualitative leap—after all, every further step at Six-Star Dou Sheng required years!] [Yet the more a Child of Destiny was driven into a desperate situation, the more likely he was to find a way to survive!] [Xiao Yan entered the Heavenly Tomb once more and received the full inheritance of his ancestor, Xiao Xuan!] [His soul realm actually broke through to the Emperor Realm!] [And this earth-shattering transformation consumed only half a month in the outside world!] [With the cultivation of a Six-Star Dou Sheng supplemented by an Emperor Realm Soul, Xiao Yan could now battle an Eight-Star Dou Sheng!]
The Heavens and Myriad Worlds: ...
?
When this question mark appeared, it was not because we did not understand, but because the matter was simply too inconceivable!
Do you know what you are saying? In half a month, he had risen from Six-Star Dou Sheng to combat power comparable to an Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and had even broken through the soul realm, the most difficult realm to cultivate!
Good grief, it was truly like a frog at the bottom of a well leaping from the deep shaft—only today did it learn how vast heaven and earth were!
Those hit hardest by this were naturally the living beings of the Dou Qi Continent.
Within the Battle Through the Heavens World, everyone revisited Xiao Yan's path to rise and truly experienced what it meant for men to fall silent and women to weep.
Others spent years struggling at the Da Dou Shi and Dou Ling realms, yet their advancement was not even as swift as Xiao Yan's breakthrough from a Heaven Realm Soul to an Emperor Realm Soul!
Even knowing that the man in the image was the Flame Emperor who had saved all living beings, they could not help sighing at the unfairness of the world.
Xiao Yan obtained opportunities as easily as taking something from his pocket, but what about ordinary people?
Many people could not even gather the medicinal ingredients needed to refine a first-grade pill!
That was the difference between heaven and earth.
And the higher one's realm, the more devastated one felt.
When Yan Jin and Lei Ying saw Xiao Yan break through to the Emperor Realm Soul again, it felt as though knives were twisting in their hearts.
They had spent a thousand years reaching the late Eight-Star Dou Sheng stage, relying entirely on talent and relentless cultivation.
Then there was Xiao Yan. Not only was he exceptionally talented, but in just twenty years, he had gained more opportunities than they had encountered in two thousand!
Among those who could become Eight-Star Dou Shengs, which one was not a favored genius who treated pills like food?
