Xiao Yan gazed at the Bone Chilling Fla before him. This Heavenly Fla had accompanied him in a way since his youth.
He knew that the Bone Chilling Fla was originally sealed within the Black Demon Cauldron, signifying that the original owner of this storage ring had intentionally left behind an inheritance for a destined person.
According to the records within the storage ring, its previous owner had only managed to refine the Bone Chilling Fla upon reaching the peak of the Dou King realm. Xiao Yan had initially planned to do the sa.
However, he yearned for even greater power because of recent events involving the Gu Clan. A re Di Class Qi thod was clearly insufficient; he needed a Tian Class one!
Now, in this space saturated with Heavenly Fla energy, he could subtly absorb the surrounding energy without wasting cultivation ti during the process of refining and rging Heavenly Flas. It was an ideal place.
Xiao Yan exhaled a deep breath, and a faint glow appeared on his face. His eyes flickered, and threads of eerie pale white flas spread from the depths of his pupils. His eyes were completely covered by the pale white flas in the blink of an eye.
"Then, let the refinent... begin..."
He murmured softly to himself. His hand seals changed, and he slowly closed his eyes. After consuming the Blood Lotus Essence Pill, he extended his hand to touch the Bone Chilling Fla.
"Although I don't know who you were, since I've received your inheritance, if Han Feng truly betrayed and murdered his master, I will ensure justice is served on your behalf!" Xiao Yan's tone was calm and unwavering, as if he were murmuring to himself, yet also making a solemn vow to the heavens.
Perhaps it was the spirit in heaven, but the Bone Chilling Fla flickered slightly despite the absence of wind.
Naturally, the original owner of the storage ring had long since perished, and the Bone Chilling Fla bore no trace of a soul. Otherwise, Hun Huzi would have found it when searching for the Tou She Ancient God's Jade.
The Bone Chilling Fla flowed along his ridians and entered his body as his words faded.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged with eyes closed in the magma world. Waves of terrifying heat continuously radiated from his body. Wisps of pale white flas erged faintly from his pores, intertwining and enveloping his entire body.
His expression was so calm that not a ripple could be seen; he did not notice the changes around him. His mind was entirely imrsed in the unique process of refining the Heavenly Fla within his body at this mont.
Perhaps because he already controlled five kinds of Heavenly Flas, devouring and refining the Bone Chilling Fla wasn't as difficult as he'd imagined.
Although the Bone Chilling Fla ranked higher than the Fallen Heart Fla, everything proceeded smoothly without any uncontrollable anomalies, perhaps because he'd been exposed to it since childhood.
At this rate, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Yan was confident he could successfully refine the Bone Chilling Fla within a month. By then, he would possess six kinds of Heavenly Flas within his body. Even without counting the Seed Fla of the Nihility Devouring Fla, he would still have five complete Heavenly Flas!
If such an extraordinary feat were to spread, it would likely make many powerful experts envious to the point of madness. For most, obtaining even one Heavenly Fla was already a monuntal stroke of fortune; yet Xiao Yan had five!
That was indeed sowhat inconceivable. Not to ntion how hard Heavenly Flas were to find, even if one did find them, few would dare to harbor five different kinds of such destructive power within their bodies simultaneously.
Such an act was no different from swallowing several nuclear bombs. In many people's eyes, it was simply courting death. However, for Xiao Yan, who cultivated the Fla Mantra, this seemingly impossible feat had beco a solid foundation for him to reach the pinnacle of strength.
At this mont, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel fortunate for choosing to cultivate the Fla Mantra back then.
The temperature around his body actually surpassed that of the magma as his refinent gradually entered the right track. Eventually, the terrifying heat even repelled the magma from his vicinity.
Under such temperatures, even ordinary elite Dou Emperors wouldn't dare to stay for long. The violent energy perating the air, if inhaled, would be enough to cause the Dou Qi within their bodies to erupt uncontrollably.
The aura emanating from Xiao Yan's body gradually intensified as ti passed. Waves of vast Dou Qi spread from him like ocean tides, faintly accompanied by the sound of crashing waves.
Cultivation made one lose track of ti. A month swiftly passed.
...
Two graceful figures sat within a stone pavilion in a courtyard belonging to the largest faction within the Inner Academy. Both of their gazes were fixed on a tightly closed stone door at the end of the courtyard at this mont.
"It's been almost two months... Why hasn't Cousin Xiao Yan co out yet?" Xiao i propped her chin with both hands, pouting in boredom as she looked toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
Xiao Yu gently shook her head, her beautiful eyes also gazing toward the tower as she said, "First Elder Su Qian said that he successfully refined the Fallen Heart Fla long ago and is just cultivating inside. Nothing should happen with his current abilities. It's normal for Dou Kings to seclude themselves for a month or two."
Despite her words, there was still a hint of worry between her brows. She wouldn't be concerned if it were ordinary seclusion. But Xiao Yan had entered the magma world to refine a Heavenly Fla. Who knew what unforeseen events might occur?
'Sigh, that guy, really... Always doing things without informing anyone.' Xiao Yu couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Ever since Xun Er left, although Xiao Yan seed unchanged on the surface, she could sense that there had been so changes in his heart. He craved power even more intensely.
Xiao Yu rose from the stone bench, revealing a pair of shapely legs that the short Academy skirt could barely cover. She exuded a confident yet graceful charm. Next to her, Xiao i stretched lazily, curving her waist in a manner that hinted at a languid allure.
The won of the Xiao Clan matured early. Undoubtedly, even though the Dou God Bloodline had long since dwindled, certain qualities still subtly influenced them. Xiao Yu and Xiao i had beco the living emblems of the Xiao Hall since Xun Er's departure.
Just as Xiao Yu was about to leave, a sudden tremor beneath her feet caused her to stumble. She hurriedly grabbed a nearby stone pillar for support, her pretty face filled with astonishnt.
"What's happening?! An earthquake?"
"Could it be Xiao Yan?!"
Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes abruptly turned toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Although she didn't know exactly what was happening, her intuition told her that this matter was definitely caused by that big pervert!
Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of First Elder Su Qian and several other elders.
Xiao Yu unfolded her Lightning Bat Sky Wings and flew directly toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
First Elder Su Qian had already sensed sothing and was waiting calmly above the tower.
'This kid can't even cultivate quietly.' The First Elder shook his head helplessly. Circulating his Dou Qi, he announced loudly, "Students, there's no need to worry. This is just an ordinary earthquake."
However, the First Elder regretted his words the next second. This was anything but ordinary!
An aura that had been dormant for two months gradually perated the area, followed by a scorching heat surging straight into the sky!
Silhouettes flashed out from various parts of Jia Nan Academy. Nurous figures stood suspended in the air, gazing in astonishnt toward the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. So sharp-eyed individuals were utterly shocked when they sensed the aura emanating from that direction.
"Good grief, that's Xiao Yan's aura! How has his strength increased so much again?!" Lin Yan felt like tearing his hair out. He had finally broken through to the Dou King realm after two months, but it was evident that Xiao Yan's cultivation had soared once more.
"Does refining a Heavenly Fla have such great benefits for this guy? Or did he consu so miraculous dicinal pill again? How could his strength skyrocket to this extent in just a month or two?"
"Hmm? What's that..."
Suddenly, layers of thick, dark clouds rolled across the azure sky. The world was engulfed in fierce winds that howled incessantly.
This sudden phenonon left everyone bewildered and at a loss.
"A heavenly phenonon... This is!" First Elder Su Qian was montarily stunned by this scene. Monts later, he seed to realize sothing, and a hint of disbelief surfaced in his eyes.
"This is the ergence of a Tian Class Qi thod? What on earth is that kid up to?!!"
Generally speaking, when a heavenly phenonon occurred, there were roughly three scenarios. The first was the ergence of a tier 8 or higher dicinal pill, which would attract Pill Lightning. The second was when soone broke through to the Dou Venerate realm, which would also trigger such a phenonon. As for the third, it was the so-called ergence of a Tian Class Qi thod or Tian Class Dou Technique. Here, 'ergence' didn't refer to the reappearance of a lost Qi thod or Dou Technique, but rather a kind of creation from nothing.
Such a heavenly phenonon would only be triggered when a Tian Class Qi thod or Dou Technique was created.
Currently, the sky wasn't filled with the fragrance of dicinal pills, so it was obviously not due to pill formation. As for the second scenario, it could be directly ruled out. Although Xiao Yan's strength had greatly increased, it was still far from sufficient to trigger a heavenly phenonon. In that case, only the last scenario fit.
But this realization left the First Elder utterly bewildered. Could Xiao Yan be creating a Tian Class Qi thod or Dou Technique??? That seed even more outrageous!
Two figures appeared with a whooshing sound. They were the guardians of the Book Collection Hall, the peak Dou Ancestors known as the Qian Bai Two Elders.
Even with the composure and insight of the Qian Bai Two Elders, their faces were now filled with solemnity and shock. To create a Tian Class Qi thod or Dou Technique—how many people on the continent today could achieve such a feat?
A twenty-one-year-old youth creating a Tian Class Qi thod or Dou Technique? That was even more preposterous than breaking through to the Dou Venerate realm at twenty-one!
By common sense, not to ntion Xiao Yan, even the Headmaster likely didn't have such ability!
Within the Fallen Heart Fla's Heavenly Fla space, dusa was also startled awake by this phenonon. She looked at Xiao Yan in the center with astonishnt in her beautiful eyes.
"Tian Class... How did he..." she murmured softly, her red lips slightly parted. She hadn't expected that Xiao Yan would actually create a Tian Class Qi thod. This completely exceeded her imagination!
The space around Xiao Yan was distorting at this mont. Six different kinds of Heavenly Flas were revolving around his body, and finally, they all surged into him, rging into one!
His eyes suddenly snapped open. He had finally completed the refining and fusion of all the Heavenly Flas. He gradually ceased the operation of the Fla Mantra, and the heavenly phenonon vanished accordingly.
"Evolved to low-level Tian Class? No, according to ancient records, once a low-level Tian Class Qi thod is utilized, it can instantly absorb all the energy within three hundred ters for one's own use. What I sensed earlier still has a slight gap compared to that. It should be considered a quasi-Tian Class Qi thod."
Xiao Yan's face showed a contemplative expression. He hadn't expected that evolving the Fla Mantra to Tian Class would be so demanding. Even the 11th-ranked Bone Chilling Fla only allowed the Fla Mantra to reach the level of a quasi-Tian Class Qi thod. But it was fine; whether quasi-Tian Class or true Tian Class, stepping into this class ant a leap-like transformation.
One could imagine that to surpass the Tian Class, he'd probably have to devour all the Heavenly Flas on the Heavenly Fla Ranking.
'My strength... actually increased by four stars? I'm now at peak 5-star Dou King.' Xiao Yan frowned. He knew that devouring Heavenly Flas wouldn't increase his cultivation level. But he quickly understood. It was the Heavenly Fla energy in this space. When he used the Fla Mantra to evolve, he had absorbed the Heavenly Fla energy that originally belonged to the Fallen Heart Fla into his body.
Advancing from a 1-star Dou King to a peak 5-star Dou King in two months—such speed wouldn't be achievable even with a Tian Class Qi thod!
After all, simply absorbing Heavenly Flas wouldn't increase one's cultivation level. The previous increases in cultivation when refining the Ten Thousand Beast Fla and the Yin-Yang Life and Death Fla were due to other reasons.
[Author's Note: Following the original setting from Chapter 232: Refining and absorbing Heavenly Flas does not increase cultivation level; any increase is due to other reasons.]
Fortunately, his strength hadn't increased too rapidly. If it had, various problems might have arisen, and resolving those issues could have required even more ti and energy.
If others knew that this fellow Xiao Yan was being ungrateful for his good fortune, gaining strength yet not wanting to increase too quickly, they'd probably curse him to death.
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Queen dusa, who was watching him from not far away. Her face instantly turned cold upon seeing him look over, but deep in her eyes, there was an inexplicable hint of panic, perhaps recalling certain events that happened back in Cultivation Room No. 1.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the progress of condensing your Heavenly Fla body?"
dusa glanced at Xiao Yan and replied coldly, "It should take another year or so to reach Rank 7."
Xiao Yan looked dusa up and down. Perhaps due to absorbing the Heavenly Fla to condense her body, dusa now seed to have an added touch of allure, making her even more captivating.
Even the term 'peerless beauty' was insufficient to describe her. Her graceful and enchanting figure, her flawless beauty that was hard to capture with words...
"Mm?" Xiao Yan's brows knitted as he sensed sothing amiss. His heart sank as he discovered a wisp of evil fire rising within him.
ow! The Seed Fla of the Nihility Devouring Fla instantly surged within Xiao Yan's body, and Mao Wu swallowed this fla in one gulp.
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and thought, 'As expected of the Fallen Heart Fla, called the Heart Fla. Absorbing too much of its Heavenly Fla energy can affect one's mind. Fortunately, I have the Seed Fla of the Nihility Devouring Fla for protection.'
Xiao Yan clenched his fist, sensing the powerful strength within his body, and revealed a slight smile. Thinking of that graceful figure, he now had a bit more confidence.
If he were to encounter Ling Quan again now, Xiao Yan was confident he could directly blast him to pieces with the Angry Buddha Lotus Fla.
Xiao Yan surveyed his surroundings. The Heavenly Fla energy here was still very abundant. Even though dusa was absorbing it, and even Mao Wu had absorbed much of the residual Heavenly Fla energy from the Fallen Heart Fla, there was still plenty remaining.
Undoubtedly, cultivating here, coupled with the Fla Mantra that had evolved into a quasi-Tian Class Qi thod, could allow his cultivation to break through to Dou Emperor within a year. It was even possible for him to reach the high-star Dou Emperor in two years.
After pondering for a mont, Xiao Yan's eyes sharpened. He didn't plan to stay here for two years, because reaching the high-star Dou Emperor in two years was too slow!
