Xiao Tian was utterly bewildered after Nalan Jie sent him back to Qingshan Town.
Oh, Heavenly Flames! I was so close to you! Yet worldly prejudice has separated us forever, like the living from the dead!
Under the protection of a Da Dou Shi expert from the Nalan Family, Xiao Tian and the others joined a caravan bound for Wutan City.
Along the way, Xiao Tian thought of ways to escape.
Looks like I can only take a gamble on upgrading the Three Basic Techniques!
Host: Xiao Tian Level: Six-Star Dou Shi Passive ability: Infinite Resurrection Ability Skills: Two-Tomoe Sharingan (390/1000), Three Basic Techniques LV3 (410/1000) System points: 1205
After some thought, Xiao Tian steeled himself and spent 1,100 system points on the Three Basic Techniques!
"Ding! Three Basic Techniques successfully advanced to LV4!"
Xiao Tian was ecstatic. With the Three Basic Techniques at level four, the Transformation Technique's effects reached the Da Dou Shi realm!
Night fell, and the caravan stopped to rest. Xiao Tian pretended to go to the caravan's cooking area for another cup of soup, then, in a blind spot, transformed into the likeness of Kusi, another Three-Star Dou Shi in the caravan, and slipped straight away.
When the Two-Star Great Dou Master Nalan Han noticed that little Xiao Tian was nowhere to be seen, he frowned and went looking for him.
"Where's the child who came with me?"
The caravan leader answered reverently, "Esteemed expert, he went back after refilling his cup just now."
"That was a comfortable rest. When are we setting off?" The Three-Star Dou Shi Kusi climbed down from a carriage at the rear.
"Huh! Kusi, didn't you just go relieve yourself in the woods over there? How did you get back into the carriage?"
Hearing this, Nalan Han inwardly sensed trouble.
"I miscalculated! That little child actually knows a rare Dou Technique from the Chu Yun Empire! The Transfiguration Technique!"
"Was it that direction?" After asking, Nalan Han immediately gave chase.
Nalan Han pursued him all the way to Qingshan Town without seeing Xiao Tian, leaving him with a terrible headache.
"Ah, what am I supposed to do now? I've actually botched the task the old master entrusted to me! That little child really is something." Nalan Han smiled bitterly. To think that a dignified Da Dou Shi like himself couldn't even keep watch over a child-he couldn't help feeling disgraced.
Having entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range again, Xiao Tian gleefully transformed into the Staff Demon's likeness. Every mercenary group and adventurer he encountered along the way was scared out of their wits upon seeing that distinctive, cold-faced man carrying a staff, and fled at top speed.
"The Staff Demon! He's wreaking havoc on the mountain range's outskirts again!"
Xiao Tian farmed wild monsters for points along the way while thinking about how to reach the meteorite in the sea of fire and get close to the Heavenly Flames.
Those Dou Emperors and Dou Wangs are all there. There's no way I can barge in.
"Ah!" As someone's scream rang out in the distance, accompanied by a magical beast's savage roar, Xiao Tian's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh.
"I've got it!"
His Infinite Resurrection Ability in this world allowed him to choose a resurrection point within a thousand li!
Calculating the distance, if I circle around from the other side, I can absolutely resurrect in the Heavenly Flames' area! Thanks to his earlier observations from Blue Eagle's back, as well as Yao Lao's reminder, Xiao Tian already knew where the Heavenly Flames were.
"Hehehe! Time to show off the power of infinite resurrection!"
Xiao Tian began crossing the Magical Beast Mountain Range. He had an extremely keen sense of terrain and direction, and slaughtered many Tier 2 Magical Beasts along the way to earn points. Whenever he encountered a Third-Order Magical Beast, he immediately transformed into a Third-Order Magical Beast, a Thunder-Winged Tiger, successfully intimidating those fellows.
At last! Xiao Tian encountered a Fourth-Order Magical Beast and was hunted down and killed!
His resurrection ability in this world activated!
"Resurrection location selected!"
