On the other side, in the Western Lin Region, Four Great Clans.
Inside the Zhuo Clan's dark room, soft white light emanated from the luminous pearls on the wall, making the entire secret room appear less gloomy.
At this moment, Zhuo Lin, the young master of the Zhuo Clan, is sitting cross-legged here, his eyes closed, his hands forming cultivation hand seals. In the surrounding space, streams of mottled heaven and earth energy are constantly flowing into his body. As time goes by, Zhuo Lin's aura is gradually increasing, and it is clear that he is now close to the Late Two-Star Dou Di.
Bai Clan
In a similarly dimly lit secret chamber, the Bai Clan father and son sat cross-legged. Before them lay a milky-white crystal, undoubtedly a Spirit Stone stone. However, unlike ordinary Spirit Stone, this one possessed a much purer energy. After more than half a year of continuous absorption and refinement, the light emanating from the Spirit Stone Spirit Stone not undergone any significant change. This alone was enough to amaze anyone.
This Spirit Stone was, in fact, a genuine High-Grade Spirit Stone!
Such Spirit Stone are probably not something that even the Four Great Sects could boast!
Looking at the aura of Bai Ying and his son, Bai Ying, who was originally at the Middle Three-Star Dou Di Stage, has now successfully broken through to the Late Three-Star Dou Di. Even Bai Zhan's strength has reached the Late Two-Star Dou Di, surpassing even Zhuo Lin of the Zhuo Clan!
As for the Huo Clan...
Sun Clan
Since the deaths of the patriarch Sun Shuo and the young master Sun Hanxi, the Sun Clan has been in decline. Already ranked at the bottom, the Sun Clan has now become a laughing stock among many forces, attracting ridicule from many people when they go out. This has made the entire Sun Clan extremely disappointed...
Currently, the only people in the Sun Clan family who can still wield real power and keep the family in check are the elders. As for the middle-aged generation like Sun Shuo, they are either too weak to command respect or incompetent, possessing strength but unable to manage family affairs. The younger generation is even worse. The Sun Clan is like a rock on the edge of a cliff, teetering on the brink of collapse, seemingly on the verge of falling from its pedestal among the Four Great Clans. When that happens, not only will its past glory and reputation be gone, but it will also suffer attacks from countless forces.
As one of the Four Great Clans, the Sun Clan has made many enemies over the years, and now it is in such a state of decline that its future is predictable!
Turning our gaze back to the Xilin Mountain Range, facing the vast thunderclouds hidden in the thick white fog, the Northern King remained fearless. His purple-gold body stood proudly between heaven and earth, unmoved by the sweeping cold winds and crashing lightning. Each strike of the Pill Lightning was either neutralized by the Northern King's punch or swallowed up by him. Such power was enough to make anyone who saw it tremble with fear. Such a powerful puppet was probably unparalleled in the entire Origin Martial Continent!
The Pill Lightning lasted for nearly two days, and Xiao Yan had already used his Pill Transformation Ring to retrieve the Ice Spirit Pill that he had tried to escape. At this moment, he was calmly refining the pill he had swallowed in the cave. As the medicinal power of the pill gradually spread, Xiao Yan's aura gradually returned.
One week later.
After Xiao Yan Xiao Yan refined three third-tier pills in succession, his physical condition returned to its peak once again.
Slowly rising to his feet, feeling the renewed abundance of Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the Northern King, who had already returned to the cave.
At this moment, after absorbing all the Pill Lightning, the Northern King's purplish-gold skin appeared much purer, and its original dark color was gradually fading, as if it were undergoing a slow metamorphosis.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yan flipped his hand and slammed his palm heavily into the chest of the Northern King in front of him. A heavy thud resounded, and the Northern King staggered back a few steps before regaining his footing. Xiao Yan, on the other hand, stumbled back more than ten steps before forcibly stopping himself with a look of astonishment. Looking at his reddened right palm, Xiao Yan's surprise deepened, and at the same time, a surge of wild joy also filled his heart.
In that attack just now, Xiao Yan used at least 30% of his physical strength. Judging from this result, the Northern King's strength is probably already close to that of Three-Star Dou Di!
How could Xiao Yan not be overjoyed by such an outcome!
The increase in the strength of the Northern King has undoubtedly added to Xiao Yan's overall strength. With the Northern King's current strength alone, he should be able to face an ordinary Three-Star Dou Di without any problem. With his puppet body, he should be able to fight against even a mid-stage three-star Northern King Middle Three-Star Dou Di Stage!
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Yan, who was already incredibly excited, felt his emotions become even more indescribable.
The increase in the strength of the Northern King gave Xiao Yan more confidence when facing the Four Great Sects in the future. The Four Great Sects probably never imagined that the little Half-Emperor they didn't take seriously back then would now become a force that could shake the power of Dou Di!
Pulling himself back to his senses, Xiao Yan flipped his hand and turned his gaze to the jade bottle that had appeared in his palm.
Inside the jade bottle at this moment, there was an ice-blue pill lying inside. Despite the isolation provided by the jade bottle, Xiao Yan could still feel an extremely powerful and cold aura emanating from this pill. Faced with that aura, even the Heavenly Flames within his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"As expected of a pill capable of suppressing Heavenly Flames, this Ice Spirit Pill is truly extraordinary!"
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in surprise.
Next, it's time to prepare to devour the Heavenly Flames!
As the thought crossed his mind, the smile that had just appeared on Xiao Yan's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of sadness.
"Haha, alright, little guy, how many times have I told you? What's meant to happen will happen. No matter how reluctant you are, what can you do? If you really want to live up to my expectations, then cultivate diligently and become a powerful figure. Even if I have to give up my life, I'll feel it was all worth it!"
Beside Xiao Yan, Gu You's figure gradually materialized, patting Xiao Yan's shoulder with one hand. His aged gaze swept over the jade bottle in Xiao Yan's hand, his expression seemingly carefree yet also reluctant.
