Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

"Because a thousand years ago, or even earlier, no Dou Di was ever born on the Dou Qi Continent."

"After Tuoshe Ancient Emperor broke through, no one else could break through to the Dou Di level."

"Therefore, the inheritance in the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe may be the only hope to break through to the level of Dou Di."

"Now you know why the Soul Palace has been searching for the Xiao family, right?"

"That's why I deliberately brought in the Protector of the Dragon."

Xiao Yan finally understood why Xiao Yang had gone to such lengths.

He knew very well that Xiao Yang was always one to take action rather than resort to threats.

"Then what should we do with this guardian deity?"

"Wouldn't killing them directly attract the attention of the Soul Palace?"

Xiao Yang chuckled and took out the container holding the soul of the Guardian of the Yellow River.

"Watch me."

He took Xiao Yan directly into the Strange Fire Tower.

Then, he activated the Meteorite Heart Flame to envelop the two souls, the spirit of the two, and the container where the Guardian of the Flying Dragon was located.

After doing all this, he released the somewhat weakened Protector.

"Kid, you'd better let me go!"

"Otherwise, the Soul Palace will notice if I disappear."

"You're dead then!"

As soon as Protector He appeared, he immediately began to threaten Xiao Yang.

However, Xiao Yang's expression did not change at all.

With a thought, a wisp of Falling Heart Flame enveloped Protector He.

"what!"

"You bastard, I won't let you get away with this!"

Xiao Yang didn't say anything, but simply increased the intensity of his attack.

"Stop! Stop now! If you kill someone from my Soul Palace, they won't let you get away with it!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang merely gave a faint "oh" and continued to torment Protector He.

After a while, Protector He finally stopped being stubborn.

He quickly begged for mercy.

"Stop, please stop, please."

"I'll give you whatever you want, and I can even tell you information about the Soul Palace."

Because he had been constantly burned by the meteorite heart flame, the guardian appeared much more transparent at this moment.

His aura was also very weak.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang then used the Heart Flame to drive away the soul of the guardian deity.

However, he still activated the Fallen Heart Flame to surround the group.

"Release your soul, do not resist."

"Otherwise, you'll have to slowly endure the torment of meteoric heart inflammation."

Xiao Yang looked at Protector He and said.

"Okay, okay, let's talk this out. I won't resist."

At this moment, the Protector had no other choice.

He never wanted to experience that kind of pain again.

He would rather die than be burned by the meteorite-induced heart fire.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang left a beast-taming seal directly into the soul of the guardian deity.

Not only that, he also left behind a streak of fallen heart flame.

With just a thought, he can unleash it!

However, this was not enough; Xiao Yang also gave Protector He a pill.

This was a seventh-grade poison that he had specially concocted beforehand!

Even Xiao Yang's own inventory is not much.

He took out one pill and gave it to Protector He, though he himself felt a little heartbroken.

However, just in case, for safety's sake, Xiao Yang still took it out.

This is a poison that targets the soul.

Without an antidote, their souls will soon perish in agony.

Xiao Yang's specially made antidote can guarantee that this soul poison will not take effect within a year.

He also explained the effects of this poison to the Protector.

They also gave him a year's supply of the antidote.

Not only that, Xiao Yang also told Protector He about the methods he had left behind.

After all, these measures are precisely designed to prevent the other party from betraying them.

Upon hearing that three methods had been left on him, each more vicious than the last, Protector He was now unsure whether he was the one speaking for the Soul Palace or whether Xiao Yang was the true Protector of the Soul Palace.

Xiao Yang also told Protector He about his request.

His request was simple: the Dharma Protector should remain the same as before.

If he has any news to report to the Soul Palace, he needs to inform Xiao Yang first and obtain Xiao Yang's permission before he can report it.

Xiao Yang forbade it; he couldn't reveal a single word.

After doing all this, Xiao Yang released Protector He directly.

Watching Protector He leave, Xiao Yan was somewhat worried, but considering the methods Xiao Yang had left behind, he didn't say anything.

He thought those methods were vicious just by hearing about them.

He doesn't even know who the villain is anymore.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, Xiao Yang stopped him.

"Wait a minute, there's something else good for you."

"This is a secret practice of our Xiao tribe."

Chapter 348 Separation

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

The secret methods left behind by the Xiao tribe!

He had never heard of the Xiao family having such a secret method before.

Xiao Zhan never mentioned it to him.

"Brother Yang, how did you obtain the secret techniques left behind by the Xiao clan?"

"Could it be that our Xiao family still possesses some artifacts left behind by the Xiao clan?"

Xiao Yang shook his head.

"I obtained this by accident. How could the Xiao family possibly still possess the cultivation techniques and fighting secrets left behind by the Xiao clan?"

"Some of those words have already been eradicated."

"I obtained this secret method by chance, but it's a bit of a pity that it's incomplete."

"This secret technique is called the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire."

Before Xiao Yan could speak, Yao Lao said with some surprise.

"The Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire? Isn't that the signature secret technique of Burning Flame Valley?"

Xiao Yang shook his head and said.

"This was created by Xiao Xuan, the ancestor of the Xiao clan."

"It's just that the Burning Flame Ancestor who founded Burning Flame Valley and the Xiao Xuan Ancestor were good friends, which is why Burning Flame Valley has the secret technique of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire."

As he spoke, Xiao Yang casually created a task.

[Mission: Grant Xiao Yantian the first transformation of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire. Reward: Qi +10, Low-level Heavenly Rank Combat Skill "Emperor's Explosive Flame".]

Then, he pointed directly at Xiao Yan's brow and transmitted the first transformation of the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations to him.

The next moment, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Quest: Grant Xiao Yan the first transformation of the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire. Reward: Qi +10, Low-level Heavenly Rank Combat Skill "Emperor's Explosive Flame". Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yan offered no resistance; he knew Xiao Yang wouldn't harm him.

Upon witnessing the effects of the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with excitement.

This Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations is perfect for him!

This secret method was practically tailor-made for him!

With this secret method, Xiao Yan's combat power will be greatly enhanced in the future.

The only regret is that this Heavenly Fire Three Transformations is an incomplete version, containing only the first transformation.

However, even so, it still had many benefits for him.

"Alright, the mission for this trip is complete, and the secret method is yours."

"It's about time we left."

Xiao Yang prepared to go back to find Little Fairy Doctor and the others.

Next, he was to head to Zhongzhou.

The Northwest Continent was still too small for him.

Even if it were to be a battle, there wouldn't be any suitable opponents.

Moreover, he also planned to go to the Central Plains Pill Tower to see if he could obtain some rare and precious materials.

Xiao Yang certainly didn't lack medicinal herbs, but he still didn't have any elixir-making materials like Earth Core Milk.

Therefore, there are some elixirs that he is unable to refine.

For example, the two types of pills he wanted—the Venerable Spirit Pill and the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill.

One of these requires Emperor Spirit Liquid, and the other requires Nine-Turn Mystic Water.

Neither of these are medicinal materials, and Xiao Yang himself did not have them.

The Venerable Spirit Pill can enhance a Dou Zun's cultivation by one star, while the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill can help a Nine-Star Dou Zun complete the first transformation.

Xiao Yang wanted to refine and consume both of these elixirs.

However, the Emperor Spirit Liquid and the Nine-Turn Mystic Water are completely unavailable in the Northwest Continent.

Both of these are extremely rare treasures.

He was going to check if Danta had it.

If all else fails, we can ask Xun'er to see if we can exchange pills or medicinal herbs with the ancient tribe.

On their way back, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yang also discussed their plans for the future.

Xiao Yan also had the idea of ​​going to Zhongzhou.

However, he also planned to go to the Black Corner Region for a period of training, and after killing Han Feng and avenging Yao Lao, he would go to the Central Plains.

Before heading to Black Corner, he planned to go home first.

After all, the three-year agreement had ended, and he wanted to go back and tell Xiao Zhan and the others the good news, and also go back to see them.
