Perched atop the precipice, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, the fierce winds whipping around him, seemingly oblivious to the scorching heat and the sandstorm whipping against his body.
Feeling the surging energy within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but show a hint of joy in his eyes. Through countless battles, his cultivation had finally gradually increased, and now, it was time for the right opportunity to succeed.
Once Six-Star Dou Di advances, it means his combat power will increase again. This will allow him to reap even greater rewards in the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb, which will open in five months. Perhaps he will even be able to obtain the Origin Return Mantra from the Venerable Heavenly Severing Master!
Of course, besides that, there's also the Heavenly Severing's inheritance, which is also quite tempting!
Filled with surprise, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged, clearing his mind of all chaotic thoughts. His breathing gradually became calm and even, and his turbulent heart gradually returned to peace. His pair of dark eyes were as black as a deep pool, their unfathomable depths making him seem even more mysterious.
This Wilderness Cliff is extremely barren, and the harsh environment is even more dangerous than elsewhere. Therefore, Xiao Yan is not worried that anyone will come here to disturb him. So, he did not seek another place to hide during this advancement.
Furthermore, although the environment of this Wilderness Cliff is harsh, the fire-attribute energy in the world is extremely abundant. Cultivating here will undoubtedly have a certain amplifying effect on Xiao Yan, improving both his cultivation speed and the degree of refinement of his Dou Qi.
Therefore, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the fluctuating energy within his body, he quickly formed cultivation hand seals. With a thought, the Flame Mantra Technique within his body immediately began to operate. In an instant, all the fire-attribute energy in this world suddenly surged and, as if attracted by something, frantically converged towards Xiao Yan at the edge of the cliff.
As the cultivation technique circulated, the Heavenly Flames within Xiao Yan's body surged, rapidly rising along all the meridians of his body. Finally, it burst forth directly from the top of Xiao Yan's head, the eerie white flames twisting and swirling, transforming into a long white fire dragon that coiled around Xiao Yan, making him tilt his head back towards the sky, open his mouth wide, and let out a silent roar. The powerful fire-attribute energies in the world then gathered even more frantically, before being swallowed whole by the fire dragon. After being refined, they finally merged into Xiao Yan's body.
With such a continuous influx of energy, Xiao Yan's aura also increased rapidly, and the Qi Cyclone Space within his body gradually expanded under the constant injection of the massive Dou Qi.
Meanwhile, in the Northern Region.
On a deserted island in the endless North Sea, a beautiful woman dressed in a simple white dress, with long hair reaching her waist and exuding an ethereal charm, gazed at the boundless sea with a slight frown, her heart heavy.
"Where exactly is this place? Why is this sea so vast that even my strength cannot cross it?"
Over the course of more than a year, the woman had tried various methods, but she was still unable to cross this boundless sea. It was as if the island had cursed her; no matter how hard she tried, she could only retreat helplessly in the end.
A year has passed, and even though she still feels resentful, she has to face her current situation. She knows very well that the reason she cannot cross this sea is ultimately a matter of strength.
If she truly wanted to cross this sea, the best way was to cultivate diligently. Only by increasing her own strength would she have a chance to leave this place, and then she would be able to find the person she longed for. But for now, the only thing the woman could do was to stay on this island for the time being and devote herself to cultivation.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Only now has Xiao Yan, who has been immersed in cultivation, gradually awakened. By this time, the aura within his body has reached a new level.
Six-Star Dou Di!
Within the Dou Di realm, there is a huge difference between each star; the saying "a difference of a hair's breadth leads to a difference of a thousand miles" is fully demonstrated in the realm of such powerful individuals.
Normally speaking, with Xiao Yan's current strength, at the Early-Stage Six-Star Dou Di, ordinary people would have no chance of winning against a strongman like Qin Yun, who is at the Mid-Stage Six-Star Dou Di. However, Xiao Yan is different.
Whether it's his physique or the depth of his strength, his combat power far surpasses that of other experts of the same level. When Late Five-Star Dou Di, he was able to kill a Late-stage Eight-Star Dou Di expert. His strength was comparable to that of Quasi-Nine-Star Dou Di. Now, Xiao Yan has broken through to the Six-Star Dou Di, and every aspect of his strength, from the inside out, has been improved. His powerful combat strength makes him comparable to an ordinary Nine-Star Dou Di!
Such power would certainly place him among the top tier of experts in this Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb!
Beside the cliff, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, feeling the surging Dou Qi within his body. He slightly opened his hands, then slowly closed them.
Although there was nothing in his palm, Xiao Yan still felt a faint but powerful force.
The void between his palms distorted slightly; although it didn't cause any major changes, it still sent a shockwave through him.
To create such a scene using only one's physical body without using any Dou Qi is truly astonishing!
With such powerful physical strength, combined with his own Xiao Yan Dou Qi, Xiao Yan was absolutely confident that if he faced Eight-Star Dou Di again, he would be able to kill him in one blow!
With this thought in mind, a cold smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. This trip to the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb would be the final end to his grudges with the Four Great Sects!
Coming to his senses, Xiao Yan did not rush to get up. Instead, with a thought, his powerful Spiritual Strength spread outward, covering the entire sky, as if beckoning something.
In a short while, wisps of dark energy condensed in the empty void and rapidly converged on Xiao Yan.
This pitch-black energy is the Power of the Great Dao!
As his strength increased, Xiao Yan also wanted to see just how much his Power of the Great Dao had improved.
With a thought, the Power of the Great Dao the size of a washbasin that had gathered in front of him quickly split apart, forming nine separate curtains.
Meanwhile, the Power of the Great Dao, which was constantly being drawn in, slowly condensed, and finally, it successfully formed the tenth curtain.
