Dou Saint, One Star
The Profound Yellow Flame ranks last on the Heavenly Flame Ranking Heavenly Flames, being the least powerful of them all.
For Xiao Yan, who had cultivated by frequently fusing with the Green Lotus Core Flame, the Profound Yellow Flame was completely incapable of causing him any harm.
After swallowing the Profound Yellow Flame, Xiao Yan sat down cross-legged and began refining this new Heavenly Flames using the Flame Mantra.
In just a short time, Xiao Yan had completely mastered the Profound Yellow Flame.
However, now that the Flame Mantra has advanced to the Heaven Tier Rank, the mere Profound Yellow Flame is completely insufficient to allow the Flame Mantra to undergo a qualitative leap.
However, as Heavenly Flames, the Profound Yellow Flame also possesses extraordinary effects.
Profound Yellow Flame has unique advantages in refining and purifying Dou Qi.
After being purified by the Profound Yellow Flame, even a fraction of Dou Qi can unleash the power that previously required ten parts of it to achieve.
It is precisely because of this special effect that the Profound Yellow Flame grows extremely slowly, ranking at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
Xiao Yan's Medicine Spirit Sacred Body allows him to consume countless medicinal herbs and pills without restraint. Relying on the numerous Heavenly Flames within his body, he refines and purifies these energies, reducing the accumulation of impurities and avoiding the near impossibility of breaking through to become Dou Sheng.
Even so, breaking through to the Medicine Spirit Sacred Body requires a massive amount of resources. Although Xiao Yan has reached the Saint level, he is still some distance away from becoming a true Dou Sheng.
At this stage, Heavenly Flames with the effect of Profound Yellow Flame is exactly needed to compress and purify the Dou Qi in the body once again.
After successfully cultivating the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the Yin-Yang Twin Flames Flame God Power, Xiao Yan began cultivating again. Behind him, the ferocious phantom of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames Flame God appeared, and beneath him, a delicate energy lotus emerged.
With complete concentration, Xiao Yan began to circulate the Flame Mantra Technique, frantically absorbing the icy energy of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring.
Even at the ten-thousand-year level, the Green Lotus Seat, which coexists with the Green Lotus Core Flame, can only purify energy for fire attributes.
However, the lifelike green lotus formed by the energy beneath Xiao Yan could even purify the icy energy of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring.
When that immense, chilling energy pierced through the blue lotus, the icy temperature seemed capable of freezing the space itself.
In an instant, a chilling energy, seemingly capable of freezing even the soul, surged into Xiao Yan's body.
Just then, the Bone Chilling Spirit Flame Flame God was greatly invigorated. Her petite figure flashed out of the Naling Space and appeared within the meridians, guiding and absorbing the extremely pure icy energy.
Immediately following, the illusory image of the ferocious beast behind Xiao Yan shone brightly, and the effect of the Yin-Yang transformation took effect immediately. When the Bone Chilling Spirit Flame Flame God absorbed the icy energy, it also generated a heat.
After undergoing the transformation of the three Flame God effects, the energy of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring caused Xiao Yan Dou Qi to increase rapidly. Under Xiao Yan's control, all of this Dou Qi surged towards the newly acquired Heavenly Flames, the Profound Yellow Flame.
To Xiao Yan's surprise, the palm-sized flame of the Profound Yellow Flame seemed to contain immense pressure.
Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra Dou Qi, tempered by numerous Heavenly Flames, had advanced to the Heaven Tier, making it one of the best in the Dou Qi Continent. However, after passing through the Profound Yellow Flame, it had actually shrunk by half.
Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Yan's Dou Qi were to undergo such a purification effect, the rate at which the energy of heaven and earth replenished would likely be completely unable to keep up with the rate at which Xiao Yan absorbed and refined it, ultimately resulting in a permanently barren land devoid of spiritual energy.
However, just soaking in the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring allowed Yao Ming to advance from Half-Saint to Two-Star Dou Saint, which is enough to demonstrate the terrifying energy it contains.
This is undoubtedly an excellent place for Xiao Yan to cultivate and break through.
Whenever Xiao Yan's Dou Qi is purified by the Profound Yellow Flame, and he absorbs and refines the Yin-cold energy of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi will increase by a certain amount.
In the process of continuous refinement and purification, the quality and quantity of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi are constantly increasing.
However, under this continuous refining process, the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring also underwent changes.
Having spent many years in the spring, Yao Ming was acutely aware of the changes in the water. His expression changed drastically; the icy spring water was actually beginning to warm up?!
With the infusion of boundless energy, Xiao Yan's aura began to grow stronger.
Under the impact of this aura, tiny cracks appeared in the environment around Xiao Yan. Although these cracks were small, they continued to grow larger and deeper.
As these cracks appeared, a heat flow, like magma, surged from the fissures. The interplay of ice and fire accelerated the spread of the cracks.
When Xiao Yan's momentum reached its peak, a huge hole appeared in the ground with a loud hum, and the strange heat surged in, instantly engulfing Xiao Yan.
"Dou Sheng!"
Xiao Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and an overwhelming aura filled with dense pressure spread out like lightning.
Seeing the crimson liquid around him, Xiao Yan's plan to release Yao Ming and seize control of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan changed.
"Where is this?" Xiao Yan frowned. This place seemed to be a Magma World, but since it could be connected to the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, it was definitely not just ordinary magma.
With a thought, Xiao Yan summoned the Yin-Yang Twin Flames Flame God, mounted the ferocious beast, and rapidly traversed this world.
After a while, the eerie, scorching temperature around them gradually decreased, eventually turning into normal lava.
As Xiao Yan arrived at a passage, a volcano in the Ten Thousand Mountains trembled violently. With a loud boom, lava erupted into the sky, revealing the figures of Xiao Yan and the ferocious beast beneath him.
After surveying his surroundings, Xiao Yan realized he seemed to have gone the wrong way.
However, he also realized one thing.
The Profound Yellow Flame might pass through the passage it just traversed and arrive in a new environment.
In his previous simulations, Xiao Yan neither ventured deep into the bottom of the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring to enter the Heaven Swallowing Python Nest, nor did he cultivate within the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring.
Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I've learned a lot of secrets I didn't know before.
"Yao Xiaotian, the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, it's time to hand over control of the Nine Netherworld Python." Xiao Yan sneered, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Having broken through to become One-Star Dou Saint, Xiao Flame God reappeared before the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring.
To Xiao Yan's great surprise, the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring was completely different from when he first arrived here. It was bubbling and gurgling, like a huge hot spring.
"Could it be that I absorbed too much energy? Is this strange place, the Nine Netherworld Cold Spring, ruined?" Xiao Yan raised his hand and touched his chin, even he thought it was a bit of an exaggeration.
In the simulation, he mostly relied on the energy contained in the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Bodhi Seed, or Heavenly Flames to break through to the Dou Sheng. This is the first time he has broken through by relying on cultivation techniques.
