Venerable Feng held the stone in his palm, glanced at it, and a complex, almost imperceptible expression flashed across his eyes.
He then flicked his finger, and the stone traced an arc before landing steadily in Xiao Yan's hand.
You take this.
The Venerable Feng's tone was calm and even, but Xiao Yan caught a fleeting glimpse of solemnity in the depths of those seemingly still eyes.
The stone felt heavy in my hand, many times heavier than an ordinary rock of the same volume.
Xiao Yan instinctively gripped it tightly, and a peculiar warmth seeped from the stone's surface into his palm.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed that the speed at which his Soul Power circulated within his body seemed to have increased slightly.
"This stone contains the power of my full-force attack."
The Venerable Feng spoke casually, but Xiao Yan's back stiffened upon hearing it, and he almost dropped what he was holding.
Dou Zun expert, the Venerable Feng, unleashing a full-force attack?
If this were thrown out, let alone Dou Zong, even a powerhouse who had just stepped into the Dou Zun Realm would be crippled.
Ignoring the look of disbelief on Xiao Yan's face, Venerable Feng continued:
"When you encounter a problem that you can't solve, just inject your Soul Power to activate it."
Although it can only be used once, it can still buy you a chance to survive, even when facing Dou Zun expert.
However, this thing is too powerful, so you should stay far away and don't get yourself caught in it.
Xiao Yan opened his mouth, as if to say something, but his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton.
This gift is far too heavy, much heavier than the Mystic Spirit Nourishing Rhyme Pill.
No matter how precious the elixir, it is ultimately just an external thing.
A full-force attack from a Dou Zun expert is like a second life at a crucial moment.
"Besides..."
Before Venerable Feng could finish speaking, he continued:
"This stone has another use."
It contains my original wind attribute power; you only need to carry it close to your body.
Without any deliberate activation, the wind-attribute energy within will automatically flow into you, enhancing your speed and agility.
Especially when flying, it also enhances your wings.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately probed his Soul Power into the stone.
Sure enough, as soon as his Soul Power touched the inside of the stone, he felt the vast and boundless wind attribute energy inside, like an abyss.
Although that power was compressed into an extremely small space, it faintly emitted fluctuations that caused the space itself to tremble slightly.
Only then did he truly realize how precious the item Venerable Feng had given him was.
"Senior, this..."
Xiao Yan looked up at Venerable Feng, unsure of what to say for the first time.
Venerable Feng waved his hand, his gaze falling on Xiao Yan, and slowly said:
"Kid, you don't need to feel guilty about it."
I've always acted according to my own whims; since I've given it to you, it's because I feel you deserve it.
If you ever encounter a truly desperate situation in the future, I hope I can offer you a glimmer of hope.
If it's not needed, that would be best.
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, took two steps back, and bowed deeply to the ground. This time, he didn't say anything unnecessary.
Some kindness cannot be expressed in words.
All he can do is live, live on, and live until the day he can repay this kindness tenfold.
Venerable Feng watched Xiao Yan's departing figure and remained silent for a moment.
The main hall was empty, and the star patterns on the pillars flickered, casting long shadows.
After a long silence, he muttered something to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it:
"Old man, I wonder what state you're in now..."
When Xiao Yan went to say goodbye to Mu Qingluan, the fourteen-year-old Grandmaster was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips, put her hands on her hips and walked up to him.
He said in his usual Gu Ling tone:
"Hey, Xiao Yan, remember what you said."
If you need anything in the future, remember to come back to the Starfall Pavilion.
Then she turned around, waved to him with her back to him, and left with the same decisive and swift departure as before.
Xiao Yan left the Starfall Pavilion without alerting anyone.
Although the Starfall Pavilion is located in an independent small world, with his current cultivation level of 65 and the white jade token in his hand, opening an exit to the outside world is not a difficult task.
The exit of the small world is in a desolate plain.
This place is also known as the Starfall Great Plain.
Feeling the spatial door behind me gradually closing.
Xiao Yan turned around and solemnly bowed towards the direction of the Starfall Pavilion.
Then, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and sped off in one direction.
Half an hour later, he arrived at a remote mountain range.
Having found a relatively secluded mountaintop, Xiao Yan took out the stone given to him by Venerable Feng from his bosom.
Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations within the stone, a look of struggle flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
Reason told him that what he should do now was to continue cultivating and constantly improve himself.
But people are ultimately impulsive.
He closed his eyes, and the Soul Power within his body began to circulate along a specific route.
Yellow, purple, black, black!
Six Soul Ring emerged from beneath Xiao Yan's feet.
The sixth Soul Ring, which had been dim for so long, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!
As Soul Power was continuously injected, fine cracks began to appear in the space in front of him.
The cracks spread outwards from his palm, and the space itself emitted a low, unstable hum.
During his time at the Starfall Pavilion, he was constantly on edge, thinking about the Douluo Continent, about the person waiting for him to return, and about the grudges he had yet to settle.
Every time I close my eyes, Zhu Zhuqing's aloof face appears before me.
Every time he entered a meditative state, that promise from the distant Douluo Continent would echo in his ears.
" Sixth Soul Skill! Gate of the Mystic Realm!"
The spatial cracks grew larger and larger, eventually forming a spatial portal in front of him that was barely large enough for one person to pass through.
On the other side of the portal, the faint scent of another world wafted through the air.
The aura was very faint even through the spatial barrier, yet it still made Xiao Yan's heart tremble violently.
That was the air of the Douluo Continent, the place he truly belonged.
Without further hesitation, he stepped into the spatial portal.
The Sixth Soul Skill, Gate of the Mystic Realm, is not an attack or buff-type Soul Skill.
It has only one function.
Grant Xiao Yan the authority to open a portal between two worlds!
However, having just broken through to the Soul Emperor, Xiao Yan could only allow himself to pass through.
It may even require a long cooling period.
And now his strength has reached level 65 Soul Emperor.
His proficiency with his Sixth Soul Skill has also become increasingly refined.
Now, as long as his Soul Power doesn't run out, he can continue to open this spatial portal.
However, each time he passes through a spatial portal, he needs to expend a great deal of Soul Power to maintain it.
In his current state, he can carry one more person through, in addition to himself.
Of course, the stronger the companions are, the more Soul Power Xiao Yan needs to maintain the sect.
According to Xiao Yan's estimation, the strength of his companions could not exceed that of him by one major realm.
Otherwise, his Soul Power would not only be unable to support the opening of the portal, but he would also be in danger of getting lost in the spatial reverse flow.
" Bibi Dong, I'm back..."
Within the mountains, as Xiao Yan's calm voice faded, the portal abruptly closed.
Xiao Yan's presence has completely disappeared from the Dou Qi Continent.
