As the breathing stabilized, the figure gradually became clearer, and the vast, ocean-like aura was gradually gathered by the figure.
"He's the one who caused the commotion!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it repelled the Three Thousand Burning Flames, truly terrifying."
"Even my elders don't have this kind of strength."
"Who exactly is this person? Besides Feng Xian, who else in the Starfall Pavilion possesses such strength?"
The aura of the four flames clashing was so striking that it attracted countless eyes outside the Starfall Pavilion residence, with whispers filling the air, mostly filled with shock. Reaching the Dou Zun level meant being at the pinnacle of power on the continent, truly possessing the basic qualifications to become a powerful figure. Witnessing this scene firsthand was incredibly exhilarating for many.
Tang Huo'er's gaze fell upon the center of the turmoil, her pretty face showing considerable emotion. As the young lady of Burning Flame Valley, she had dared to absorb the Nine Dragons Thunderfire right after advancing to the Dou Zong realm. Even though she ultimately failed, her strength was undeniable. She was undoubtedly proud, though this pride was deeply buried. But now, looking at the figure at the center of the aura, she realized from the bottom of her heart once again: she was still ordinary compared to the top geniuses of Central Continent.
"That's really perverted..." Tang Huo'er murmured softly.
Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Yan's figure and made many comparisons, but she found that even Yao Chen himself did not have any advantage compared to the figure in front of her.
"Is this the disciple you poured all your energy into teaching...?"
Amidst countless gasps of amazement, the sky filled with crimson flames and shadows gradually disappeared, and the figure became increasingly clear, finally appearing fully in everyone's sight.
In the sky, the figure slowly stretched, and the bones in his body crackled and popped like firecrackers.
"Hoo..." Feeling the seemingly endless power within his body, Xiao Yan let out a long, pleasant sigh.
Although he had long been controlled by Yao Lao and had possessed Dou Zun-level power through secret techniques, truly advancing to Dou Zun now felt completely different. The surging Dou Qi within his body was indeed worth millions of people pursuing their entire lives.
Xiao Yan lightly clenched his fist, and the space in front of him was distorted into a strange depression. This was the power of a Dou Zun to shake space with a mere flick of his wrist!
"Early stage of Two-Star Dou Zun!"
After a brief demonstration, Xiao Yan finally determined his current realm. During his seclusion, Xiao Yan felt that his breakthrough was extremely smooth. Not only did he not encounter any insurmountable obstacles, but after the breakthrough, his Dou Qi continued to surge forward, propelling him forward. Finally, he naturally broke through to the second-star Dou Zun level in one go.
Xiao Yan could never have imagined that the pure energy was the Dou Qi left in his body by Huo Yi, an elder of the Yan Clan whom he had never seen in person, and which had been resolved by the power of luck. The Dou Qi of the Yan Clan's Dou Sheng experts was so pure that it had been hidden deep in Xiao Yan's body after its use was neutralized. This time, it was finally completely induced out during the breakthrough, helping Xiao Yan to steadily advance to the second-star Dou Zun.
At the same time, Xiao Yan clearly felt that a soul power with a spiritual quality was hidden in his mind. Once that power was fully unleashed, it would probably be no less than that of an ordinary Dou Zun powerhouse.
When truly cultivated to its limit, soul power is absolutely no less than battle qi. However, the methods for utilizing soul power are extremely rare, and most alchemists have never even heard of them. But Xiao Yan has already witnessed Ling Zhuo and Song Qing using similar methods, indicating that both the Pill Tower and the Spirit Clan possess this ability. If given the opportunity later, Xiao Yan also plans to obtain some from the Pill Tower; it would be a waste not to properly develop and utilize his powerful soul power.
"Congratulations on advancing, young friend Xiao Yan!"
When the people from Burning Flame Valley and Pill Tower arrived at Xiao Yan's side, Tang Zhen immediately congratulated him.
Xiao Yan touched his nose and smiled, "I must thank Valley Master Tang Zhen for the Earth Core Soul Essence."
Because of the Earth Core Soul Marrow, Xiao Yan encountered relatively little trouble in his breakthrough to the Spirit Realm, and his current soul power was definitely not at the level of a newly advanced Spirit Realm cultivator. Xiao Yan also knew that without Tang Zhen's approval, even with Xuan Yi's instructions, he might not have been able to obtain the Earth Core Soul Marrow, so he immediately expressed his gratitude.
Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Yan with increasing satisfaction. He had something on his mind, and he no longer treated Xiao Yan as a simple junior.
……
Xiao Yan sat in his room, looking at the letter in his hand, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Don't you want to go?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.
"Hmm, the invitation from the Spirit Clan, combined with what you said about the commotion they caused at the Pill Gathering, suggests they may not have good intentions behind it."
After his breakthrough, to Xiao Yan's surprise, Ling Zhuo of the Spirit Clan came to invite him to visit. At the time, Xiao Yan neither agreed nor refused, and now he consulted with Little Fairy Doctor.
"Since you've made up your mind, then you won't go. You wouldn't be willing to help them deal with the Dan Tower anyway."
"It's best to keep your distance from families descended from Dou Di." Xiao Yan flicked his palm, burning the letter as well. "Then there's also the Pill Tower and the Burning Flame Valley."
"I understand the Pill Tower. Aunt Xuan means that the Pill Tower needs help. As for Valley Master Tang Zhen insisting that I come to Burning Flame Valley after the Pill Gathering, I still don't understand it."
"The Valley Master Tang's beloved daughter's eyes have never left you; she probably wants you to be her son-in-law."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan recalled, then shook his head uncertainly, "No, I don't think so."
During the day, when Xiao Yan faced Tang Zhen's invitation, the latter remained unwilling to reveal his intentions, only mysteriously saying that he would know once he arrived at Burning Flame Valley. At that time, Xiao Yan really had no mind to pay attention to Tang Huo'er.
Looking at Xiao Yan, who was both sincere and puzzled, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes also held some complex emotions. Xiao Yan was indeed "reassuring" when it came to matters of the heart.
"So you're planning to go to Danta tomorrow?"
Xiao Yan shook his head: "No rush, I want to go to the Dan family first, after all, we have an agreement."
The Dan family has been preoccupied with the appearance of the Spirit Clan recently. However, Xiao Yan had made a promise with Dan Qiu earlier, but he hadn't kept it because of his advancement. Regardless of whether he could win or not, this competition had to be concluded.
"Then I'll be going now." After reaching a conclusion, Little Fairy Doctor got up to leave, but she didn't move quickly, as if she was waiting for Xiao Yan's consent.
"Since you have a rule against me going to your room, you're not allowed to wander around now that you're here!" A mischievous smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
"What are you going to do?" Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes, as clear as autumn water, were filled with expectation and a little worry. Suddenly, she felt that Xiao Yan was not so innocent after all.
Xiao Yan pulled Little Fairy Doctor into his arms, looked at the beauty in his arms, and smiled, "Of course it's what I should do."
At this moment, not far from the Starfall Pavilion, a gaze from the void was also watching the entire residence.
