As for Xiao Yixian, after consuming the poisons she obtained through trading her own pills and those collected by Wind Lightning Pavilion, her strength had already reached the Eight-Star Dou Zun.
That was only because she had many matters to handle, wasting quite a bit of ti. Otherwise, her strength would have undoubtedly beco even more terrifying.
After Xiao Yan signed the agreent, the Gu Clan, to prevent any accidents with the deal, did not try to play any tricks. After so back and forth, they managed to squeeze out two ninth-tier Treasure Pills from the two Dou Sheng elders.
Because of that, those two elders from the Gu Clan complained endlessly about Xiao Yan's outrageous demands.
At the sa ti, soone suggested that since the item had already been obtained, there was no need to waste such precious pills just to make the agreent legitimate.
After all, a ninth-tier Treasure Pill was an extrely rare existence even within the Gu Clan. Even among Dou Sheng-level elders, not everyone could enjoy one.
Besides, now that Xiao Xuan was dead, and the descendants of the Xiao Clan were hardly remarkable — with their strongest only at the Dou Zong level — could they really co and snatch sothing from the Gu Clan?
However, as soon as that proposal was brought before the Elders' Council, it was imdiately rejected by the majority of Gu Clan elders.
After all, their previous behavior had already been rather dishonorable. If anything went wrong again, they could easily end up being judged no better than the Soul Clan.
This ti, with a chance to finally settle the matter, most elders believed that paying this price was worth it. After the Gu Clan sent their top alchemist, they successfully cured the Fire Cloud Ancestor.
With the addition of a ninth-tier Treasure Pill capable of enhancing a half-step Dou Sheng expert's strength, the Gu Clan managed to exchange it with the Burning Fla Valley for the Nine Dragon Lightning Fla.
Although Burning Fla Valley felt trendous pain giving it up, when they thought about their Dou Sheng Ancestor being restored to full health and even having a ninth-tier Pill to further improve his power, they gritted their teeth and handed over the strange fla.
After all, once Ancestor Huo Yun fully recovered, he could, with the help of that ninth-tier Pill, break through to a new realm. His lifespan would then extend for nearly another thousand years.
A healthy Dou Sheng expert, over such a long ti, could bring benefits far beyond what a single Nine Dragon Lightning Fla could provide.
However, when they brought the pills to that hidden clan for a trade, an unexpected situation occurred.
The reason was that the strongest mber of that clan was rely an Initial Ban Sheng, who had no use for a ninth-tier Treasure Pill at all. After all, such a pill was ant for true Dou Sheng experts at Five-Star and below.
Their clan's Ban Sheng was already nearing the end of his lifespan — possessing a ninth-tier Treasure Pill would be useless to him. On the contrary, having such a top-tier pill would only invite trouble and greed from others.
After thinking it over for a while, they simply rejected the Gu Clan envoy's offer. The Gu Clan elders, seeing this, could only scratch their heads helplessly.
While wiping out that hidden clan wouldn't be difficult, if the Gu Clan went around slaughtering for no reason, it would easily draw suspicion from other ancient factions.
Especially since that hidden clan wasn't based in the Eastern Region under their domain, but in another Dou Di clan's territory.
In the end, the Gu Clan elders had no choice but to promise that as long as the clan was willing to hand over the Fire Mountain Rock Fla, the Gu Clan would marry one of their clan's daughters and form an alliance through marriage.
Of course, Dou Di clans valued bloodlines greatly, so the Gu Clan would not allow a direct clansman to marry that woman. The one who actually married her was soone from the Gu Clan's outer branch.
Though those people had countless ties with the Gu Clan and were indeed permitted to use the Gu Clan na in the outside world, they were not true mbers of the clan, did not bear the surna Gu, and had no right to live within the Gu Realm.
Instead, they resided outside, managing part of the Gu Clan's worldly assets. Tempted by the chance to form a connection with the Gu Clan, the hidden clan finally agreed to exchange the Fire Mountain Rock Fla.
After all, an opportunity to be linked to the Gu Clan was sothing almost impossible to co by — they simply could not let it slip away.
After that, both the Nine Dragon Lightning Fla and the Fire Mountain Rock Fla naturally ended up in Xiao Yan's hands. Having been stuck at a bottleneck for so long, Xiao Yan was overjoyed when he finally obtained the two strange flas.
Especially the Nine Dragon Lightning Fla, which was ranked twelfth on the Heavenly Fla Ranking — it was a delightful surprise. After pondering for a while, Xiao Yan decided to first absorb the Fire Mountain Rock Fla.
After all, the Nine Dragon Lightning Fla was only one rank lower than his master's Bone Chilling Fla, and its power was terrifying.
At his current level of only Four-Star Dou Zong, trying to absorb it recklessly would be extrely dangerous. By comparison, the Fire Mountain Rock Fla, ranked seventeenth, carried less than one-tenth of that risk.
Moreover, the Pill Gathering was only four or five months away. If he attempted to absorb the Nine Dragon Lightning Fla and failed to subdue it in ti for the competition, he would lose a huge opportunity!
While Xiao Yan forgot all his troubles and happily entered closed-door cultivation, terrifying pressure was quietly spreading from the mountain cave where Lin Feng was secluded.
That pressure grew stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly overbearing. The might emanating from within forced all the nearby magical beasts — the strongest among them only at the sixth rank — to flee hundreds of miles away.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, after nearly eight months of silence, an overwhelming aura erupted from the cave.
That terrifying pressure surged forth like a slumbering dragon awakening from its deep sleep. The imnse force instantly turned the lush forest within a dozen miles into barren wasteland.
Even the space itself began to distort and ripple.
"Rumble!"
Monts later, a thick pillar of energy, as wide as a man's waist, shot skyward from where Lin Feng was cultivating, piercing straight into the heavens.
At the sa ti, his eyes, which had remained closed for more than half a year, suddenly snapped open. A vast and boundless aura surged outward from his body like a tidal wave.
His pitch-black eyes were now completely consud by crimson flas. However, that state didn't last long. The red flas in his eyes gradually faded away until they vanished completely.
His black pupils reappeared, calm and deep once more. In the next instant, Lin Feng's figure abruptly disappeared from where he stood. In the blink of an eye, his slightly lean form reappeared high up in the sky.
"Ha!"
With a deep shout, his voice echoed like thunder.
Invisible sound waves exploded outward in all directions at extre speed. Wherever the waves passed, space distorted violently, and entire mountain peaks shattered into dust.
The terrifying power was enough to obliterate many Dou Zong experts. A mont later, Lin Feng stretched his body — one that hadn't moved for over half a year — and lightly clenched his fists.
Feeling the vast, ocean-like Dou Qi surging within his body, he couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.
"After so many years of cultivation, I've finally reached the Dou Zun realm."
Lin Feng took a deep breath and murmured with a smile on his face.
