Xiao Yan's Gift to His Grandfather
Xiao Yan didn't improve his cultivation level during his trip to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, but what he gained was far more than any improvement in cultivation level!
Just like in the Original Work, during this trip to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, Xiao Yan rescued Yao Ming, the former patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, who had been imprisoned.
Subsequently, after receiving the other party's promise, Xiao Yan successfully helped them regain the position of patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.
The only difference from the Original Work is that, thanks to Ling Miao's intervention, Yao Xiaotian and the First Elder did not die, but were enslaved by Qing Lin.
Having suffered so much torment over the years, Yao Ming originally intended to kill the two of them.
However, firstly, Ling Miao was stronger than him, and secondly, he had figured it out. Compared to directly killing Yao Xiaotian and the First Elder, it seemed that letting the two of them be enslaved by others would better relieve his hatred!
Therefore, Yao Ming ultimately did not object.
After helping Yao Ming regain the position of patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, the latter directly promised to lead the Nine Netherworld Python Clan to join the Heavenly Mansion Alliance!
Furthermore, to repay Xiao Yan, Yao Ming also allowed Xiao Yan to comprehend the legacy left behind by the Yellow Springs Demon Saint.
Xiao Yan lived up to expectations, successfully obtaining the Yellow Springs Three-Piece Set of inheritance left by the Yellow Springs Demon Saint within the Yellow Springs Stone Tablet, thanks to his Soul Power at the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.
These include the Yellow Springs Finger, the Yellow Springs Palm, and the most terrifying Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath!
The first two are one thing, although they are Low-Tier Heaven Rank -rank Dou Technique respectively, their power is only average because they are not very compatible with Xiao Yan's Dou Qi attributes.
In this Dou Qi Continent, many things are actually quite strange.
Everyone possesses different Dou Qi attributes, and Dou Techniques of different attributes can also be learned.
However, when using Dou Techniques that are not compatible with one's own attributes, their power is often greatly reduced.
Of course, there are also cases where the power is not diminished.
Just like in the Original Work, when Xiao Yan used lightning-attribute Dou Techniques, the power was basically not weakened.
It seems that the conflict between Dou Qi aura and Dou Technique attributes should be reduced, for example, a person with Fire Attribute Dou Qi learning water-attribute Dou Techniques.
If they are not incompatible, then the effect will not be weakened, or it will be weakened only slightly.
Finally, if the match is perfect, it will be enhanced!
Xiao Yan's Dou Qi attribute is fire with wood element, which can be considered a masculine type of Dou Qi.
The Dou Techniques Yellow Springs Finger and Yellow Springs Palm are predominantly Yin in nature.
Therefore, although Xiao Yan mastered these two Dou Techniques, their power was somewhat reduced when he used them.
This is also why Xiao Yan basically didn't use these two Dou Techniques later in the Original Work.
But the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath Dou Technique is different!
It is not only High-Tier Heaven Rank Dou Technique, but also Soul Dou Technique!
Soul Dou Technique naturally have nothing to do with Dou Qi attributes.
It is not only rare, but also special. Under the same level, its value far exceeds that of Ordinary Dou Technique and can be compared with Cultivation Method.
Furthermore, the stronger a person's soul, the more terrifying their Soul Dou Techniques will be!
If you use Heaven Rank Dou Technique against Dou Venerable, the opponent might be able to defend against it. However, if your soul realm is stronger than theirs, and you use Soul Dou Technique, then the opponent definitely won't be able to defend against it!
Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath is at the High-Tier Heaven Rank, and Xiao Yan now possesses the Soul Power of the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.
In other words, although Xiao Yan is only Three-Star Dou Sheng at present, if he encounters someone whose Dou Qi cultivation is higher than his but whose soul realm is lower, he can use the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath to make the opponent doubt their existence!
This is the domineering power of the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath!
In the later stages of the Original Work, Xiao Yan wielded the Fire Lotus in his left hand and the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath in his right.
In this situation, the question is, who can handle it?
It can be said that the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath, a High-Tier Heaven Rank Soul Dou Technique, is Xiao Yan's greatest gain from this trip to the Nether Serpent Earth Vein, without exception!
It directly raised Xiao Yan's combat power by a whole level!
If Xiao Yan had mastered the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath when he fought the Soul Hall's Vice Hall Master's Hun Ling earlier, the opponent would have had no chance to escape!
In addition to the Yellow Springs Three-Piece Set, Xiao Yan also obtained six drops of the Demon Saint Essence Blood.
This is also a huge gain!
It should be noted that the Yellow Springs Demon Saint's realm had already reached the point where his own Essence Blood had mutated.
It's almost unimaginable how much improvement this mutated Demon Saint Essence Blood can bring to a person.
Of these six drops of Demon Saint Essence Blood, besides giving one drop to Yao Ming, Xiao Yan already had a plan for how to distribute the remaining five drops.
This also differs somewhat from the Original Work.
In the Original Work, Xiao Yan gave six drops of the Demon Saint Essence Blood to Yao Ming, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, and Yao Lao, and kept one drop for himself.
In this life, it's one drop each for my eldest and second eldest brothers, one drop for Nalan Yanran, one drop for Yun Yun who didn't come), one drop for Xiao Yi Xian, and one drop for Yao Ming.
Because the Demon Saint Essence Blood was limited, Xiao Yan allocated it in this way after careful consideration.
Medusa and Qing Lin refused the offers themselves.
The former felt that he was about to undergo a transformation and wanted Xiao Yan to find a more suitable person.
The latter, by enslaving Yao Xiaotian and the First Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, had already achieved the status of Two-Star Dou Saint, and therefore did not need the Demon Saint Essence Blood.
If Qing Lin is like this, then Xiao Yan himself and Yao Lao are naturally the same.
The three of them—one Three-Star Dou Sheng, two Two-Star Dou Saint —could indeed receive some improvement from a drop of Demon Saint Essence Blood, but at most it would only bring about one or two minor realms of advancement, far less than the improvement it would bring to others!
In the Original Work, Yao Lao was High-Level Half-Saint at that time, and he did need a drop of Demon Saint Essence Blood to help him break through to the Dou Sheng. In this life, however, there is not much need for it.
Needless to say, Yao Ming provided everything; you couldn't very well leave him not even a drop of his Demon Saint Essence Blood, could you?
Xiao Yan isn't some god-king after all!
And so, Xiao Yan returned to the Starfall Pavilion with a wealth of gains.
As soon as he returned to the Starfall Pavilion, he went to find his grandfather.
Then, as if presenting a treasure, Xiao Yan offered the Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath, a High-Tier Heaven Rank Soul Dou Technique, to Xiao Lin.
At this time, Xiao Lin had just returned to the Starfall Pavilion after "wandering" for a while.
"Hehe, Grandpa, what do you think of this Dou Technique? It should be useful to you, right?"
Xiao Yan looked at his grandfather with a grin and asked.
"Yellow Springs Heavenly Wrath, the signature Dou Technique of the Yellow Springs Demon Saint! Below the Dou Emperor, who dares to say that such a Dou Technique is useless?"
Xiao Lin's tone carried a hint of emotion when Xiao Yan presented the treasure.
"As long as it's useful to you, Grandpa!"
Hearing his grandfather say this, Xiao Yan was very happy.
Xiao Yan wasn't stupid; he had already guessed how much his grandfather had contributed behind the scenes to the Xiao Household's current success and his own smooth growth.
Although his grandfather often liked to trick him, he was genuinely good to him!
This is beyond doubt!
"Xiao Yan, you're so thoughtful..."
Clearly, Xiao Lin was somewhat moved that Xiao Lin Xiao Yan had thought of him.
