Chapter 17 Returns to the Past, A Small Test of Skill
Xiao Yan froze, then slowly raised his head, only to find that the person in front of him was not the ruthless man he had imagined, but merely an ancient tree shaped like a human.
Although it felt a bit strange, Xiao Yan still breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing enemies everywhere was better than having a ruthless person suddenly appear in his face.
That was definitely a bit too bold.
Looking around, he saw two boys of similar age lying on the spot.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo, who also experienced a reversal of aging, are both young again.
Wanting to do something more, Xiao Yan discovered that his body was beginning to feel somewhat ethereal.
Xiao Yan immediately felt a mix of emotions.
too fast.
But in just a few days, he underwent a complete transformation.
At this moment, Xiao Yan had already realized the truth.
This time the cooldown time will be significantly shorter than normal. After he has established some bonds with this world, he will be able to come back again in the near future, and the time he can stay will be greatly increased.
That will be the time when he begins to distinguish himself.
Ye Fan's sword was sharp, but Xiao's sword was no less formidable.
Taking advantage of the last moments, Xiao Yan took out all the remaining Buddhist artifacts, used his divine technique to refine their essence, and divided them into three parts. He integrated one part into himself, and the other two parts were each integrated into a relatively complete Buddhist artifact, leaving them for the two of them.
After he altered its properties, it could be used against enemies or as a consumable for cultivation.
Two jade slips were also left behind, containing some information.
A figure, resembling a goddess, flew towards them from the horizon.
At this moment, Ye Fan and Pang Bo finally woke up.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan laughed loudly.
"My name is Yan Xiao. I entrust these two relatives to you, fellow Daoist. Both of them are rare and exceptional immortal talents."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan winked at Ye Fan and Pang Bo, and then his figure faded into a wisp of mist and disappeared.
When we meet again, everything will be different.
"This!" Ye Fan's eyes widened.
"Holy crap, Ye Zi, is Lao Xiao a human or a ghost?"
"...It should be a person, right?" Ye Fan's lips twitched wildly. Most people wouldn't have the brainpower to think that Xiao Yan's name was entirely made up.
Before they could exchange any more words, the graceful young woman in the sky descended on a rainbow of light.
Weiwei: (One`ˊOne)
Pang Bo: (一`ˊ一)
Ye Fan: (눈_눈)
Xiao Yan: (∥•/ω/•∥)
……
Beneath the forbidden zone, a pair of eyes quietly closed, and the wisp of divine thought that had been separated was completely withdrawn.
It seemed like he was muttering something, but it also seemed like he wasn't saying anything at all.
…………
On the Dou Qi Continent, outside the Monster Mountain Range.
Xiao Yan strolled along.
He needs a touchstone.
Soon, a third-tier magical beast spotted him.
It was a behemoth.
A massive snake head sprang out, a fierce glint flashing in its eyes. It was as thick as a person could hug, and its scales were many times thicker than those of ordinary snakes, shimmering with a metallic sheen.
"hiss--"
This is a formidable Vajra Forest Python even among third-tier monsters. It feeds on ores, and during battles, it can activate the scales on its body, making it even stronger than the battle qi armor of an ordinary Grand Battle Master.
The moment it spotted Xiao Yan, the python roared and swept its long tail across the room.
"Well done!" Xiao Yan laughed, without intending to use his fighting spirit. He locked his soul power onto the trajectory of the python's long tail, spread his five fingers, and streams of divine light flowed from his dantian into his limbs and bones. He then met the attack with a slap accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.
Bang! !
Like metal clashing, the air currents surged, and soil and rocks flew everywhere. The marks on the ground were clearly visible from the point of impact.
"Hiss!" As Xiao Yan exerted his strength, the python felt a sharp pain. With one palm strike, its bones broke and its tendons snapped, and its solid scales shattered.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan clenched his fist, feeling the abundant power within his body, and immediately raised an eyebrow.
The numbers are weird.
Although the underlying principle is unknown, he seems to be able to integrate the cultivation systems of various realms, taking the essence of each.
This path is different from cultivating the Emperor's Scripture. It is clearly more dangerous, and a slight mistake could lead to death. Yet, Xiao Yan feels like a fish in water.
Any minor imperfections can be slowly corrected in the gray fog space, at the cost of countless deaths from exploding bodies.
It can only be attributed to luck.
After briefly reflecting on the current stats, Xiao Yan smiled slightly as he looked at the clearly fearful python.
Xiao is not a petty person. Since he dared to attack first, then let him stay.
The Dou Qi that had undergone a tremendous transformation circulated, and Xiao Yan's whole body was instantly engulfed in flames. He held his hands in front of his abdomen, mobilizing the power in his limbs and bones. His life essence and Dou Qi intertwined, and then he raised his left arm high, covered by a pale yellow flame symbolizing the low-level Yellow Rank Burning Technique.
"Flame-Dividing Wave Ruler!" Using his palm as a ruler, he swung it down heavily, unleashing a solid flame over ten feet long. In an instant, the intense heat incinerated all the surrounding vegetation, smoke and dust rose, and thick white mist quickly spread out, with the smell of burnt meat mingling with the aroma of meat filling the air.
"Hiss... Ha!" The python's roar was no longer as fierce as before, but rather weak and powerless, revealing its shock and anger.
"Huh? Not only are you still alive, but you even dare to breathe on me?"
Upon sensing the monster with his soul power, Xiao Yan discovered that it was about to launch a counterattack, which amazed him.
The enemy not only didn't flee, but dared to fight back against me?
Upon returning from the world of Shrouding the Heavens and refining all that immense primordial power, Xiao Yan felt as if his condition was improving every day.
He needs time to process what he has gained.
This time the gains were enormous.
The massive amount of life essence enhanced his primal power countless times, giving him a completely transformed innate talent and aptitude...
这 是
Within the sea of bitterness in his dantian, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi vortex underwent a dramatic transformation compared to ordinary Dou Qi cultivators.
Its form of existence is constantly changing towards flames.
Although fire seems to be a high-temperature gas according to Xiao Yan's physics knowledge from his previous life, in the Dou Qi Continent, both flames and Dou Qi are a special kind of energy.
Although it's a bit strange, the increased intensity is undoubtedly a good thing for Xiao Yan.
"It's said that essence, energy, and spirit are the three treasures, and none of them can be lacking. I've already tried essence and energy, so what about spirit..."
Glancing at the serpentine python that had been aroused and was about to launch a sneak attack, Xiao Yan slowly raised his left palm, spread his five fingers, and sublimated his essence, energy, and spirit to the extreme. The pale yellow flames around him instantly turned pure white.
This method originates from the Wuhou Sect's ultimate technique in the world of Under One Person. It integrates the life-giving fire ignited by the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, which can burn anything and cannot be extinguished by conventional means. It directly affects the source.
It can achieve the effect of harming only the spirit and soul without harming the physical body.
After Xiao Yan comprehended the Dao through the Immortal Coffin, this method completely transcended its original limitations, opening up the upper limit of the seal, and its existence form is more similar to Xiao Yan's Origin Flame.
Furthermore, as Xiao Yan's cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit improves, the power of this fire will also increase accordingly.
The most important point is to integrate essence, energy, and spirit. Improving any one of them can benefit the other two. If all three are addressed simultaneously, it will have the effect of stepping on the other foot.
"Burn to ashes."
Xiao Yan covered his face with one hand, revealing only his eyes, which flickered with white flames. In the next instant, pure white flames rose from the massive body of the serpent, burning fiercely.
