This is also his greatest asset: the Emperor Flame, formed from twenty-two different kinds of strange flames. Although it requires a great price, it is enough to deal with the Soul Emperor.
But why was Xiao Yan unable to control the Nine Dragons Thunderfire?
Chu Yang knew without a doubt that Tang Huo'er must have secretly tampered with the Nine Dragons Thunderfire and sealed it.
What he could think of, Xiao Yan could naturally think of as well.
Previously, when borrowing fire on the border of the Great Xia, they even offered Tang Huo'er the condition of serving for a hundred years, which was already giving Tang Huo'er enough face.
Tang Huo'er nodded. She never questioned Chu Yang's words, but she couldn't help feeling a little down.
Just as Chu Yang had guessed, it was all part of her scheme.
Locking up the Nine Dragons Thunderfire prevented Xiao Yan from achieving the Emperor Flame, thus rendering him no match for the Soul Emperor. Then, at a critical moment, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was released.
From the perspective of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xiao Yan is an exceptional genius who will not be forgotten in the future when he arrives in the Great Thousand World.
If the Great Xia Dynasty can secure this powerful ally, it will become much easier for it to quickly establish itself in the Great Thousand Realms.
However, because she was not quite clear about Chu Yang's attitude towards Xiao Yan, Tang Huo'er did not give a clear answer to the conditions Xiao Yan had proposed.
Seeing through her thoughts, Chu Yang smiled and said, "You did a great job, and it was very effective. It wasn't a wasted effort."
"For someone like Xiao Yan, the hardest thing to repay is a favor."
"You have no shortage of capable men under your command; what you lack is a strong leader who can stabilize the situation."
"With this favor, Xiao Yan will certainly not stand idly by when the Great Xia Dynasty is in need."
Upon hearing his words, Tang Huo'er understood his intention. A hint of admiration appeared in her beautiful eyes, along with the uncontrollable worship she felt whenever she saw Chu Yang.
However, she had some doubts. Chu Yang hadn't had much contact with Xiao Yan, so why did he know so much about him?
"Immediately summon all Dou Sheng experts. I will open a dimensional portal above the palace."
Chu Yang said softly, "Whether or not one is willing to enter the Great Thousand World is entirely up to personal choice. Those who wish to stay will be responsible for guarding the palace."
"So soon?" Nalan Yanran was not very interested.
Chu Yang had been gone for three years, and now that he had finally returned, he was in a hurry to open up a dimensional portal.
She knew very well that once the interdimensional portal was established, everyone would go their separate ways after entering the Great Thousand World, and it would be difficult for them to reunite in a short period of time.
Chu Yang said irritably, "Do you really think Mu Tianyin helped so many people reach the peak of Dou Sheng cultivation without any cost?"
"This process consumes the very foundation of the Dou Qi Continent, not to mention that my seclusion this time has also caused a great loss."
"If we don't connect to the Great Thousand Worlds soon, the Dou Qi Continent will run out of energy in at most a year."
"However, opening up the interdimensional passage does not require my personal involvement at all times. During this period, I will remain in the palace."
Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up, and Tang Huo'er's expression also brightened. She quickly asked, "How long will it take?"
Chu Yang thought for a moment and gave a conservative estimate: "It will take at least three months and at most half a year."
If it's just about bringing people into the Great Thousand Worlds, it actually wouldn't take this long.
However, he plans to build an absolutely stable interdimensional passage that would allow people to travel freely between the two worlds, thus solving the problem once and for all, which will take some time.
The Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect had long been planning their advance into the Great Thousand Worlds, and the powerful figures at the Dou Sheng realm were preparing almost constantly.
With Tang Huo'er and Xiao Xiao's order, regardless of their location or what they were doing, even the powerful figures in seclusion rushed to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately.
This event caused quite a stir on the mainland. Anyone with eyes to see could see that this meant the Dou Qi world was about to connect with the Great Thousand World! (End of Chapter)
Chapter 370 Xiao Yan, still counting money after being sold? 'The Pilgrim' and 'The Prophet'!
In the Dou Qi Continent today, almost everyone who has reached a certain level of strength or status knows about the existence of the Great Thousand Realms.
As early as three years ago, everyone knew that the Chu Emperor wanted to connect the two worlds.
However, during those three years, Chu Yang suddenly disappeared, and people stopped paying attention to the matter.
Now that the Great Xia and Yunlan Sect have suddenly made some big moves, it has stirred up the thoughts of various forces.
Although the Yunlan Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty almost control the entire continent, there are still many forces that live in seclusion or develop independently.
The Yunlan Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty have always kept to themselves and their interests separate from these forces.
However, many forces are now showing their sincerity, wanting to "borrow a route" to the Great Thousand World.
Tang Huo'er and Xiao Xiao accepted all comers, but since they weren't one of their own, those forces would inevitably have to suffer a "heavy blow".
In just three days, all the Dou Sheng experts under the Yunlan Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty had gathered in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Meanwhile, the battle between Xiao Yan and the Soul Emperor finally came to a conclusion.
The battle between the two took place in the Burial Sky Mountains, a remote and sparsely populated area. Furthermore, Mu Tianyin secretly isolated the area, so no one was affected.
The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and Xiao Yan finally won with great difficulty.
The Soul Emperor died at his hands, but Xiao Yan's physical body was also destroyed, leaving only a soul.
This result was unexpected by many people. No one expected that Xiao Yan, who was originally at a disadvantage, would turn the tide and even kill the Soul Emperor in one fell swoop!
The Soul Clan has become a thing of the past, and a once-powerful hero has fallen.
But few people felt regret; instead, they felt relieved.
Because the many things that the Soul Emperor did were too outrageous, he not only destroyed the Spirit Clan and the Medicine Clan, but also sacrificed all his own clansmen.
If someone is so ruthless to their own people, it might not be a good thing for the Dou Qi Continent if they continue to grow stronger.
Immediately after the battle ended, Xiao Yan did not return directly to the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, but instead went to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Inside the Golden Palace, Xiao Yan's soul seemed somewhat ethereal, as if it might dissipate at any moment.
Zi Yan and Feng Qing'er stood on either side of the dragon throne. The former looked at Xiao Yan with concern and worry.
The latter, however, wore a cold smile. Although her personality had changed drastically, Feng Qing'er still couldn't help but feel resentful about what had happened back then.
He was repeatedly crushed by Xiao Yan, and even in the Desolate Ancient Domain, he was slapped away in front of so many people. It was something he could never get over.
Xiao Yan did not look at the two women, but stared directly at Tang Huo'er, clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for lending me the fire, Your Majesty. I am not an ungrateful person. For the next hundred years, I will be at Your Majesty's beck and call!"
Tang Huo'er smiled and waved her hand, saying, "You have received the inheritance of Emperor Tuoshe, so the Nine Dragons Thunderfire should belong to you."
"It was because of this fire that I became acquainted with you, my teacher. So I had selfish motives and sealed it within my body, which is why you were unable to condense the Emperor Flame."
"Therefore, there's no need to bring this up again..."
At this point, Tang Huo'er raised her hand and tossed out a jade bottle, then added, "The milk in this bottle is a top-grade medicinal liquid refined by your teacher, enough to completely restore your soul."
"After your soul is restored, you can go to the Valley of Sound. I have already spoken with the senior Emperor of Sound, and she will help you rebuild your physical body."
Xiao Yan took the jade bottle and was momentarily lost in thought.
He never expected that Tang Huo'er would say such a thing.
Just like Chu Yang thought, Xiao Yan had already guessed Tang Guo'er's intentions. That's why he offered her a hundred years of service when they were at the border of Da Xia.
But now it seems...
Perhaps I have wronged Tang Huo'er?
Is it possible...
Was the other party trapping the Nine Dragons Thunderfire really due to personal feelings?
Xiao Yan knew more or less about the relationship between Tang Huo'er and Chu Yang; in fact, it had long been a well-known story on the continent.
Tang Huo'er possessed a unique flame, and at that time, the Chu Emperor needed a unique flame to assist in refining medicine, so he took her as his disciple.
Unexpectedly, Tang Huo'er, who was unknown on the mainland back then, has now become the Empress of Great Xia.
Chu Yang, who was only considered a child prodigy back then, has become the strongest person on the continent!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the jade bottle in his hand and said with a guilty expression:
"Although I am known as the Flame Emperor, the Nine Dragons Thunderfire is a family heirloom of His Majesty. How can His Majesty bestow it upon me for nothing?"
"Your Majesty lent me fire in my time of crisis, for which I am already deeply indebted. Now you have helped me restore my soul and rebuild my body; I have no way to repay you..."
"I won't say any more sentimental things. If Your Majesty needs anything in the future, please just ask!"
Tang Huo'er smiled and nodded, saying, "We are all from the Dou Qi Continent, so we should naturally look after each other when we arrive in the Great Thousand World."
Xiao Yan felt that he had been judging others by his own petty standards, and he felt even more ashamed.
But he didn't notice that the expressions on Zi Yan's and Feng Qing'er's faces had subtly changed.
The former looked sympathetic, yet also somewhat reluctant.
The latter had a mocking smile on his face.
They were right there when Chu Yang returned that day, and they heard him giving Tang Huo'er advice with their own ears.
At this moment, in their eyes, Xiao Yan was nothing more than a foolish boy who had been sold out but was still helping the seller count the money.
After Xiao Yan left, Tang Huo'er couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
There is still a huge gap between myself and my teacher!
The gap stems not only from strength, but also from shrewdness and intelligence.
