In the blink of an eye, two days had passed since Xiao Yan refined the remnant soul of the Hei Mu. Under the terrifying temperature of the Fused Heavenly Flame, the remnant soul of the Hei Mu was quickly and completely refined. At the same time, a huge amount of energy once again filled Xiao Yan's vortex.
Streams of energy circulated rapidly within the spacious meridians. After circulating once along the cultivation path of the Flame Mantra, and then being tempered by the Heavenly Flames, they finally entered the Qi Cyclone Space.
Supported by this enormous energy, Xiao Yan's aura Peak of the Late Two-Star Dou Di Stage also surged once again.
Half a month later, Xiao Yan's strength successfully advanced to the Three-Star Dou Di!
But that's not all!
Within the cyclone, nearly half of the enormous energy remained, which made Xiao Yan feel pleasantly surprised.
Everyone says that the Ginseng Spirit Root is a top-grade cultivation treasure, but no one knows that even a mere wisp of Hei Mu's remnant soul contains such powerful energy. If Xiao Yan can completely refine this energy, he is confident that he can reach the Middle Three-Star Dou Di Stage!
As the refining process continued, time quietly passed. And at that very moment, on another continent outside the Origin Martial Continent, the heavens and earth changed color...
Dou Qi Continent, Central Plains.
Today, the Dou Qi Continent is more prosperous than ever before. Countless powerful figures are constantly rising across the continent, and powerful individuals from all walks of life are rapidly taking their place on this land, just like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Central Plains, as the most prosperous region of the Dou Qi Continent, is witnessing all these changes.
In the Central Plains today, powerful figures stand tall, and various forces rise from the ground, making the already prosperous Central Plains even more bustling.
In the Central Plains, the strongest force is naturally the Heavenly Mansion Alliance. Although the name of the alliance no longer exists, this behemoth still exists in everyone's heart. This is not for any other reason than that a peerless powerhouse who saved the entire continent once appeared in this force!
Flame Emperor, Xiao Yan!
Starfall Pavilion.
Inside the Starfall Pavilion, an elderly man with white hair and beard and a weathered face sat in the hall, chatting and laughing with a middle-aged man.
Judging from their appearances, these two were none other than Xiao Yan's teacher, Yao Lao, and his father, Xiao Zhan!
Many years have passed, and both of them have aged considerably. Yao Lao needs no further explanation, but Xiao Zhan has many more white hairs at his temples, yet his face appears much more rosy.
As the two were chatting and laughing, a woman with a petite figure like a young girl slowly walked into the hall, came to their side, and poured tea into their cups.
"Hehe, Xun'er, weren't you in Wutan City? How come you have time to come here?"
Upon seeing Xun'er suddenly enter the hall, the Yao Lao's aged face showed a slight pause before he smiled and asked.
In recent years, after Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin left one after another, Xun'er also went into seclusion for a long time. Now that they meet again, Xun'er's strength has reached the Late Nine-Star Dou Sheng Stage. Looking at the entire continent, there are very few people who can match her.
As for Xiao Zhan, his eyes were filled with affection when he looked at Xun'er. However, Xiao Zhan expression suddenly hardened, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise:
" Xun'er, your strength... has broken through to the late stage of the Nine Stars?"
Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over Xun'er from head to toe before he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Hearing the two elderly people's slightly teasing words, Xun'er couldn't help but blush slightly on her fair face. She habitually shrugged and spread her hands, saying:
"I was just lucky."
As soon as these words left his mouth, the two elders teased him again. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, the Yao Lao stopped looking at Xun'er and asked softly:
"What about Xiao Xiao? She's been practicing that cultivation technique all these years. She should have reached the bottleneck of the second level by now, right?"
Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but look at Xun'er.
The latter, with her red lips slightly pursed, smiled and said:
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you..."
Before the words were finished, Yao Lao and Xiao Zhan exchanged a suspicious glance. With that girl's talent, she should have at least reached the second level by now, but how come...
" Xiao Xiao, actually she broke through to the third level two months ago."
"What!"
Upon hearing this, both old men couldn't help but show a look of shock on their faces. They had thought that it was already quite good that Xiao Xiao had been able to cultivate that scroll of cultivation to the second level, but what they didn't expect was that Xiao Xiao would surprise them even more than they had imagined.
"Haha, I really didn't expect this girl's talent for cultivation to be even more terrifying than her old man's!"
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Yao Lao's weathered face, but when he mentioned Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan and Xun'er, who were present, couldn't help but fall silent.
Xiao Yan has been gone for more than ten years, and there has been no news of him. How could they possibly be at peace?
Sensing the sudden change in the atmosphere, Yao Lao was slightly taken aback, gave an awkward smile, and then quickly said:
"By the way, where is Xiao Xiao now? Is she still in seclusion? Pursuing strength is certainly good, but if she only focuses on cultivation, it might not be a good thing."
"Don't worry about that. I've already spoken to Xiao Xiao about it, and she understands. Xiao Xiao came out of seclusion a week ago and entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"Hmm, that's true..."
Just as the Yao Lao was about to speak, he paused, then silently thought to himself:
"In this respect, he is exactly the same as Xiao Yan back then."
In the Northwest Continent, within the Jia Ma Empire, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, deep in a dark valley, amidst a thick, purplish-black poisonous fog, lies a decaying coffin and a beautiful figure.
At one moment, the woman's tightly closed eyes, filled with desire, trembled slightly...
On the Central Plains Continent, beneath the Nine Netherworld Python Clan and the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, undercurrents surge...
In the Endless Void, within the Dragon Tomb of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, where dragon energy surged, a graceful figure, whose delicate body had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, trembled slightly at this moment...
Looking again at Central Plains, above the Twin Emperors' Abyss.
Suddenly, the calm void began to churn violently, like a lake tossed with a boulder. Ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, and in an instant, rolling thunderclouds covered the sky, enveloping the entire Central Plains...
"Hehehehe... So this is the Dou Qi Continent...?"
