Yao Lao stared wide-eyed at the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in Xiao Yan's hand, looking utterly astonished.
"Laugh!"
A cold, white flame appeared in Yao Lao's hand, radiating a chilling aura and exuding a terrifying power.
"This..."
Yao Lao stared wide-eyed, his incredulous gaze shifting back and forth between the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in his hand and the Martial Soul in Xiao Yan's hand.
His aged face was full of surprise.
"Your Martial Soul... it's somewhat similar to my Heavenly Flames."
The Yao Lao spoke with some uncertainty.
In his perception, although Xiao Yan's Martial Soul emitted a weaker aura, it was definitely the aura of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
"How strange..."
Yao Lao withdrew his gaze from the Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand.
" Heavenly Flames are naturally occurring phenomena; it's not surprising that such treasures exist in another world as well..."
Despite saying this, the Yao Lao couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Could it be that in the Douluo Continent, this Heavenly Flames is also called the Bone Spirit Cold Flame?
Unable to figure out the problem, the Yao Lao didn't dwell on it.
His gaze returned to Xiao Huohuo, and he asked, "Where were we?"
Xiao Huohuo hurriedly said, "Teacher, the cultivation method of the Flame Mantra you described is related to Heavenly Flames."
"Oh, right." The Yao Lao nodded and continued:
"Although this Flame Mantra can evolve, its strangeness lies in the fact that each Flame Mantra requires consuming a different kind of Heavenly Flames..."
A hint of nostalgia appeared on Yao Lao's face, as if he were recalling the perilous scene when he subdued the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.
"One kind of Heavenly Flames is enough to make Dou Emperor wish he were dead. I can't even imagine what it would be like if someone absorbed two or more Heavenly Flames into their body."
The Yao Lao's tone was tinged with regret as he looked at Xiao Huohuo and asked:
"So, do you still want to learn this technique?"
After listening to what the Yao Lao said, Xiao Huohuo also fell silent.
He certainly wanted to cultivate the Flame Mantra, since it was a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method.
If I could reach the Heaven Tier Cultivation Method, then I'd probably have the confidence to declare war on even Dou Sheng Expert, right?
Xiao Huohuo thought to himself.
However, he then thought of what the Yao Lao had said about the success rate of this technique.
Less than 20%!
Xiao Huohuo interlaced his fingers, his face a mixture of hesitation and resentment.
Xiao Huohuo couldn't help but recall the ruins he saw when he returned a year ago.
The hatred that had been building up in his heart made him grit his teeth.
Moreover...
Xiao Huohuo couldn't help but think of Xun'er again.
The fact that Xun'er could casually produce Earth Tier Cultivation Method for him suggests that the power behind her is probably among the top-tier forces on the entire continent.
Ultimately, this is a world where the strong rule. Only when you possess sufficient strength will others grant you the right to engage in equal dialogue with you!
Having thought this through, Xiao Huohuo had already made her choice!
The hesitation on his face vanished, replaced by unwavering determination!
"It seems... you've already made your choice..."
Looking at the expression on Xiao Huohuo's face, the Yao Lao apothecary spoke somewhat nervously.
"Hmm." Xiao Huohuo nodded, looked at the Yao Lao beside him, and said:
"Teacher, I've made up my mind! I'm going to cultivate the Flame Mantra!"
Yao Lao heard Xiao Huohuo's words, he seemed relieved, but then his face was filled with worry, and he sighed.
"Teacher... what's wrong?"
After hesitating for a moment, the Yao Lao spoke to Xiao Huohuo:
"Actually, I should be happy that you chose the Flame Mantra..."
"You should know that I am currently only in a soul state. Normally, I should be dead, but because my Spiritual Soul Power is much stronger than that of ordinary people, I have been able to survive in this strange state..."
The Yao Lao's voice held a hint of helplessness and bitterness. He chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued:
"I still have unfinished business, so I am unwilling to die like this. According to the introduction of the Flame Mantra, if I successfully cultivate it, I can use several different kinds of Heavenly Flames to forge a body that can Naling. At that time, I will be reborn in another way..."
This was the first time Xiao Huohuo had heard Yao Lao mention such a thing, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he jokingly said:
"Then you should support my cultivation of the Flame Mantra, Teacher."
Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao shook his head, sighed, and said:
"Although I wish to be reborn, the difficulty of successfully cultivating this Flame Mantra is simply unparalleled."
The Yao Lao apothecary waved his hand, and two scrolls, one red and one black, appeared in his hand. He handed them to Xiao Huohuo.
"The red scroll is a Earth Tier fire-attribute cultivation technique I possess, and the black scroll is the Flame Mantra..."
The Yao Lao handed both scrolls to Xiao Huohuo, his voice gentle as he softly said:
"The choice is yours. Whatever you choose, remember one thing: you will always be my disciple, and I will always be there to support you."
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan thought of the Grandmaster who had recently personally dealt with him, and a shadow fell over his heart.
Xiao Huohuo stared blankly at the two scrolls in front of him, licked his lips, took a deep breath, and grabbed the black scroll in his hand.
"Teacher, although I'm a little scared, I must avenge the annihilation of my clan! I will definitely bring my father back!"
Xiao Huohuo held the black scroll in his hand, which then transformed into a stream of light, containing cultivation information, and poured into Xiao Huohuo's mind.
Inside the room.
Xiao Huohuo absorbed the Flame Mantra and began to cultivate cross-legged.
The illusory figure of Yao Lao floated in mid-air, looking at Xiao Yan standing to the side with a searching look in his eyes.
"Old man, have you seen enough?"
Xiao Yan sensed Yao Lao's gaze and stared intently at the other's illusory soul form without hesitation, then asked a question.
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's form of address, Yao Lao showed a hint of surprise, then smiled and said:
"You little rascal, that's so rude!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Lao's powerful Spiritual Soul Power pressed down on Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan tried to resist by mobilizing his Martial Soul, but found that the pressure exerted by Yao Lao left him powerless to fight back. His Soul Power was firmly suppressed, leaving him no room for resistance whatsoever.
"Uh, senior, please forgive my mistake, I was wrong."
A wise man submits to circumstances; since he couldn't even withstand the opponent's pressure, Xiao Yan lost all will to resist.
After all, he knew that in such a dog-eat-dog world, there were only four realms.
Senior, spare my life! Fellow Daoist, please wait! Young friend, please take your leave! You ant, prepare to die!
Compared to this soul entity, my current level is nothing more than that of an ant facing certain death.
Besides, the two had no grudge against each other, so there was no need for him to upset the other party.
"Remember this: regardless of whether you are from a so-called parallel world or not, you absolutely cannot plot against my disciple! Otherwise, even if it costs me my own soul, I will ensure your soul is annihilated!"
The Yao Lao glanced indifferently at the dark lump on the ground and spoke with a cold expression.
This person's Soul Origin is almost identical to that of his disciple. If he were to possess him, the body would probably not offer much resistance, so he had to be on guard.
"Don't worry, senior." Xiao Yan nodded gently and explained.
"I also have my own unfinished business in Douluo. I'm currently stuck in a bottleneck, so I'm taking advantage of this peaceful period to come here for a change of environment to cultivate. It also happens to provide him with some protection."
Yao Lao nodded slightly upon hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, but only he knew how much he truly believed it.
