970. Chaos in the Beast Realm
Unfortunately, after Xiao Yan advanced to the Dou Sheng level, he discovered that the clay puppet that had originally helped him defeat powerful enemies had lost its effect. No matter how many times he used it, he could not transfer any of his injuries.
When asked, Xiao Xuan replied that one's body undergoes a fundamental change after advancing to the Dou Sheng level. It's common for some abilities to become unusable.
Although it was a bit of a pity, Xiao Yan still expressed his understanding. The ability to transfer injuries is indeed very important, but if a comparison had to be made, the improvement at the Dou Sheng level was simply too great.
The Three Thousand Thunder Illusions learned from their two disciples that although they had experienced a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation in the space of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, only a little over a month had passed in the real world of Zhongzhou.
After ten days of cultivation in the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi was stabilized, and he successfully advanced from the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng to the peak of a one-star Dou Sheng, just one step away from becoming a two-star Dou Sheng.
During these ten days, Xiao Yan truly felt the enhancement that the Bodhi Heart brought him; endless power surged from his heart, seemingly without end. It was precisely because of the Bodhi Heart that Xiao Yan was able to raise his Dou Qi realm once again.
It should be understood that once one reaches the Dou Sheng realm, if one only focuses on arduous cultivation, progress in strength can take decades or even centuries.
Therefore, once you reach the Dou Sheng realm, further progress is inseparable from various opportunities. The reason why the Bodhi Ancient Tree has gained such a great reputation on the continent is because its effect on improving the abilities of Dou Sheng-level beings is also clearly visible.
Xiao Yan enjoyed the boost he received and was naturally extremely satisfied. If he could maintain this rate of advancement, becoming a nine-star Dou Sheng would be just around the corner. Of course, Xiao Yan was also well aware that this was merely wishful thinking. This power would eventually run out, and only by continuously improving himself could he achieve stable progress and reach the peak!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan took out all the remaining fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map. After Yao Lao returned, all four map fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame ended up in Xiao Yan's hands.
Xiao Yan tried to piece them together, and it was indeed a complete map, but there was nothing else besides that.
Even when Xiao Yan showed it to Xiao Xuan for identification, the ancestor could only confirm that it was indeed related to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. As for what it actually was, Xiao Xuan didn't have a definite answer, which was enough to illustrate the mystery of this thing.
However, Xiao Xuan gave Xiao Yan another piece of information: the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was located in the Central Continent, and it only appeared during specific time periods. Therefore, although Xiao Yan was determined to acquire this third-ranked Strange Flame to enhance his combat power, all he could do now was wait for news.
"The improvement has been fast enough, but it's still far from sufficient to address the current situation!"
Xiao Yan sighed for a moment, then sensed that the three thousand Thunder Illusions outside were about to take him to the Starfall Pavilion. He changed his appearance and left.
After Xiao Yan left, the two soul entities in the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Le and Feng Qiu, waited outside Xiao Xuan's tomb.
Sensing Xiao Yan's departure and the aura he exuded as he left, the two were filled with emotion.
"When our young master first entered the Heavenly Tomb, he hadn't even reached the Dou Sheng realm yet. Now, he's already a peak one-star Dou Sheng expert. His speed of progress is truly terrifying."
"We didn't witness Senior Xiao Xuan's experiences firsthand back then, but now it seems that our young master is no less remarkable than Senior Xiao Xuan."
Xiao Le nodded in agreement, saying, "There may still be a slight gap, but with Master's assistance, the young master's future is immeasurable."
"I'm lucky to have seized the opportunity to get to know the young master. Now, I can practically walk sideways in this Heavenly Tomb."
……
Inside the Starfall Pavilion.
Little Fairy Doctor has been quite busy lately.
Not only did she have to handle clan affairs and take care of the Xiao family members, but the alliance was also about to be established, and the balance of power among various forces was quite troublesome. Not to mention, with the falling out with the Dou Di descendant family, Little Fairy Doctor had recently developed some new ideas she wanted to test. With one thing after another to deal with, she wished she could split her time in half to use it.
Just days before, the situation in the Beast Realm began to deteriorate. The Nine Netherworld Python clan faced an open threat from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan. Qing Lin's arrival had rapidly increased the strength of the Nine Netherworld Python clan's higher-ups, but they were still no match for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Furthermore, Qing Lin had been in seclusion, and the Nine Netherworld Pythons dared not awaken her, and had to maintain a stable environment as much as possible. Therefore, they directly contacted the Starfall Pavilion, hoping to obtain assistance from the soon-to-be-formed alliance.
The Nine Netherworld Pythons are also a core force of the alliance. Little Fairy Doctor is well aware of the relationship between Qing Lin and Xiao Yan. Among the various forces, the Nine Netherworld Python clan ranks among the top three in overall strength and holds an important position. Therefore, after careful consideration, Little Fairy Doctor still requested that Yao Lao, who had recently returned, go to the Nine Netherworld Python clan for assistance.
Just as Little Fairy Doctor was considering welcoming the Flower Sect and Burning Flame Valley, who had agreed to form an alliance, Yan Yu, a direct subordinate of the Poison Medicine Valley, also arrived. His usually calm face showed a hint of unease.
Little Fairy Doctor noticed his unusual behavior and calmly asked, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"
Yan Yu wiped a few beads of sweat from his forehead, speaking slightly faster than usual, and replied, "Valley Master, there's an urgent message from Young Master Wei: internal strife has broken out within the Dragon Clan. The three Dragon Island Lords, who were originally willing to cooperate, seem to be at risk of turning against each other. The atmosphere is extremely delicate right now, and he suspects that a battle is very likely to break out soon!"
"What Young Master Wei means is that he and Young Master Lei alone cannot control the situation and need more help."
Upon hearing this news, even Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly: "First, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan felt threatened by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and now the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is in turmoil. The time interval is so short; this Beast Domain is truly lively these days!"
Despite saying that, Little Fairy Doctor was also carefully considering the situation. Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao had gone to the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, and now that a message had been sent, the situation was definitely not optimistic.
Little Fairy Doctor wasn't particularly worried about their safety. After all, aside from their own strength, both of them had at least the backing of a five-star Dou Sheng. If there was any great danger, they would be able to escape on their own. That was the very reason that she sent them to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan in the first place.
However, the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void is quite important, and was a key force that the alliance had already agreed upon. While the three major magical beast races of the Beast Realm might not be as powerful as the families descended from Dou Di, their advantage lies in their ability to command all magical beasts through their bloodline.
