996.2 Star Saint
Inside the Heavenly Tomb, Feng Qiu and Xiao Le continue to serve as guardians of Xiao Xuan's ancient tomb.
The two sensed the energy fluctuations within Xiao Yan's tomb without any urgency, because they clearly understood why such a change had occurred.
"Young master, are you about to break through to the second-star Dou Sheng realm?"
"Judging from this aura, it can't be fake."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qiu gave a wry smile: "It seems like our young master has no bottlenecks at all when he cultivates. It hasn't been long since he broke through to the peak of the one-star Dou Sheng last time, and he's about to advance to the two-star Dou Sheng again so quickly."
Xiao Le nodded in agreement. They, the guards of the Heavenly Tomb, knew best the speed of Xiao Yan's progress. They themselves had once been powerful humans and knew that reaching the Dou Sheng realm was truly a series of hurdles.
This law seems to pose no problem for Xiao Yan at all; his cultivation speed has not decreased at all, and there is even a hint that his speed will increase as he progresses to the Dou Sheng realm.
"If things continue at this pace, you and I may be able to witness the day when our young master ascends to the top of the continent."
"This is very difficult, but now it seems that there is still hope."
Inside the Heavenly Tomb, the extremely dense battle qi was pouring into Xiao Xuan's tomb like a giant funnel.
In the end, it was Xiao Yan who accepted all of this and absorbed all the energy!
After a month and a half in the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan had completed the internalization of all the dragon blood essence within him, resulting in a significant enhancement to his physical body. This time, he was no longer just comparable to magical beasts, but truly like them, and even far stronger than them after equipping the Ancient Insect Emperor's Armor.
The remaining energy still propelled Xiao Yan to the level of a two-star Dou Sheng.
After Xiao Yan had absorbed all the Dou Qi that was continuously pouring into the Heavenly Tomb, his two-star Dou Sheng realm stabilized. Because he had absorbed so much energy, he encountered almost no bottlenecks and advanced very smoothly.
Xiao Yan exited his cultivation state. Apart from the dragon scales and claws on his body, his pupils, which were originally round, became elongated and vertical, transforming into vertical pupils like those of the dragon race!
At this moment, judging from his appearance alone, he had transformed into a hybrid human-dragon form. His entire body exuded immense power, and his posture was even somewhat chilling.
Under Xiao Yan's deliberate control, the changes on his body gradually subsided, and he slowly returned to human form, with all the strange phenomena disappearing from his body.
Seeing that he could turn back into a human, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if he had maintained his human-dragon mentality, it would have been a significant problem.
Seeing himself back to normal, Xiao Yan waved his hands, and with a flick of his fingers, his energy soared. Without using any fighting spirit, Xiao Yan's casual strikes were now extremely terrifying and astonishing.
The feeling of having one's realm improved and one's strength evolving again is wonderful.
At this moment, Xiao Xuan also appeared at the right time. Looking at Xiao Yan, who was adapting to the power, he smiled and said, "In such a short time, your strength has improved again. It is indeed a blessing for the Xiao Clan to have you."
Hearing such praise, Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and asked, "What has our ancestor been busy with these past few days while he's away?"
Xiao Yan did not see Xiao Xuan after he came to the Heavenly Tomb last time, but Xiao Xuan is now the nominal master of the Heavenly Tomb and did not encounter any trouble.
Xiao Xuan nodded: "I'm making some small attempts. You're under a lot of pressure right now, so it's good to be able to help you in some way."
Xiao Yan is not usually at the Heavenly Tomb, but his Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies can communicate on his behalf. Ever since he informed Xiao Xuan of the Soul Clan's information about a Nine-Star Dou Sheng who uses the Void Devouring Flame, Xiao Yan has noticed that his ancestors have also felt some pressure because of this. Most of the attempts they are making now are also for the purpose of fighting against the Soul and Ancient Clans.
"You don't need to worry about me. Just call me if you need anything. I can sense you in this Heavenly Tomb."
Xiao Yan naturally had complete faith in his ancestor, Xiao Xuan. This old man had staked his entire life on the future of the Xiao family and clan, and was still working tirelessly. This was also one of the reasons why Xiao Yan was working so hard; there were too many people he needed to take responsibility for.
After a brief farewell to Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan returned to the Void Thunder Pool.
The reason for going to the Heavenly Tomb to advance is twofold. First, the Heavenly Tomb has an astonishing amount of Dou Qi, making the advancement smoother. Second, Xiao Yan's time is currently extremely limited, so he wants to save time wherever possible.
"Unfortunately, I have already absorbed all of that magical black lightning, otherwise I could have tried the effect of Heavenly Thunder Forging Spirit."
Xiao Yan's greatest gain from cultivating in the Void Thunder Pool was discovering the black lightning. Although he didn't recognize it, he knew it must be the essence of the Void Thunder Pool. It was precisely because he absorbed all the black lightning he could find that Xiao Yan was able to advance to the second-star Dou Sheng realm so smoothly.
However, there really are none left now. Originally, Xiao Yan was thinking that if there were any left, he could try to see if he could improve his soul power. After all, with his current Heaven Realm soul, ordinary lightning had no effect, and it was not much different from the effect of his own cultivation.
"We should go check on that person."
Xiao Yan did not forget another person who was also cultivating and breaking through in the Void Thunder Pool. When he arrived, he found that the Dean of Canaan Academy had already successfully advanced.
Although he successfully advanced, he didn't leave; instead, he remained waiting in the same spot. He hadn't even touched the protection Xiao Yan had provided for him, clearly showing considerable apprehension.
Xiao Yan smiled upon seeing this. The reason he stayed here was naturally not for any other reason, but to wait for him.
"It seems you've already sensed everything I've done?" Xiao Yan said to him.
Xiao Yan's voice came out suddenly, startling the dean of Canaan Academy. Then, sensing Xiao Yan's sudden appearance and his unfathomable strength, he inwardly cursed.
"Are you kidding me? Even a Dou Sheng-level old monster has come to the Void Thunder Pool?"
There must be a reason why someone could approach him without him even noticing and even help him break through his bottleneck. Moreover, judging from Xiao Yan's actions, he clearly understood that Xiao Yan was a friend, not an enemy. Given the vast difference in their strength, and not daring to act rashly, he could only patiently wait for Xiao Yan to arrive.
"Thunder Clan Mangtian Ruler, thank you for your help, senior."
After realizing what had happened, Mang Tianchi immediately thanked Xiao Yan. Of course, he also immediately explained his background, so that if Xiao Yan had any ill intentions towards him, he would have to consider the Lei Clan's connections.
He glanced at Xiao Yan, somewhat surprised, because the person in front of him looked rather young.
However, the Dou Qi Continent is full of wonders. Although most people with high strength look mature or even old, there are some strange and special techniques that can keep people young forever.
Not to mention, the person in front of me is very likely a master alchemist, so youthful appearance is nothing special.
