Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

Xiao Yan frowned slightly: "Now that the Stone Clan, Medicine Clan, and Thunder Clan have merged into one, if they want to seize the ancient jade, they will have to attack together. This will almost completely determine the pace of the great war."

Currently, there are only three powerful factions on the continent: the alliance of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, the alliance of the Stone Clan, the Medicine Clan, and the Thunder Clan, and their Guiyuan Palace.

If the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan are determined to seize the ancient jade from the Thunder Clan or the Medicine Clan this time, then it will be a true life-or-death battle where they will fight with all their might.

Little Fairy Doctor, standing to the side, also frowned deeply: "Then something is not right. If they have truly decided to start a battle of this magnitude, they should at least wait until the strongest experts in their clan, namely Gu Yuan and the Soul Emperor, are able to act before making a move. But judging from the current situation, these two should still be recuperating."

At this moment, Xun'er also seized the opportunity to remind everyone: "There is another possibility that we should not forget, which is that there is a very high chance that this situation is false information."

The Spirit Clan's previous incident did indeed benefit from this mysterious figure from the Ancient Clan, but Guiyuan Prefecture has not completely ruled out the possibility that the Ancient Clan acted deliberately to kill two birds with one stone.

After listening to the discussion, Xiao Yan finally made the decision: "For now, we can ignore these things and treat them as genuine intelligence. Have Qing Lin and the many Dou Sheng level experts scattered outside return to Guiyuan Mansion for the time being. Also, give the Three Clans Alliance a slight reminder, but of course, the reminder should be kept to a minimum. We absolutely cannot reveal that we have information from the ancient clans."

The fewer people who know about such confidential matters, the safer it is. Once they reveal this to the Thunder Clan, Stone Clan, and Medicine Clan, it's impossible to know how many people will eventually find out. In the process of information transmission, leaks are inevitable, and Xiao Yan and his group dare not gamble that none of the three clans will leak it.

In the months that followed, Guiyuan Prefecture fell into silence, choosing not to act rashly but instead quietly withdrawing its power.

During the trade fair, a group of powerful individuals, moved by Xiao Yan's, or rather, by the Guiyuan Mansion's resurrection method, officially joined the Guiyuan Mansion. Of course, their resettlement was also a matter that needed to be considered. There might be spies from the Soul Clan among these people, and how to make them truly work for the Guiyuan Mansion was a headache. However, Xiao Yan had great faith in Little Fairy Doctor to handle this matter well.

What pleased Xiao Yan the most was that the Dou Sheng powerhouse who had given them the Hurricane Qi couldn't resist the temptation of resurrection and joined the Guiyuan Palace.

After the battle with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Xiao Yan personally experienced the excellent effects of the Hurricane Qi and knew that it was indeed worth its price. So he took the opportunity to inquire about the details of how he obtained it from the Dou Sheng expert.

According to him, this hurricane-like energy was obtained from ruins whose exact age was long ago, and he himself had used it three or four times. Later, under his guidance, Xiao Yan used it again.

Even though he was prepared for the second time, Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at the wondrous feeling after absorbing the hurricane energy. His body was suddenly filled with an extremely large amount of wind energy, which couldn't even be called battle qi. It was completely different from the wind-attribute battle qi that Xiao Yan knew, and its speed was astonishing, much faster than heaven-rank battle techniques.

That person also informed Xiao Yan about the hidden activation of this hurricane aura. With deliberate control, it could disturb spatial ripples while passing through, making it impossible for others to pinpoint its location immediately.

Clearly, this Dou Sheng expert had held back during the transaction, not fully revealing the method of using the Hurricane Wave to Xiao Yan. Only now, after joining the Guiyuan Mansion, was he willing to tell him everything. Xiao Yan didn't find it problematic; his own style was to keep things under wraps. He wouldn't tell anyone at the trade fair that only Wang Yun could currently use this ability, and that the others in the Guiyuan Mansion couldn't.

However, this hurricane aura was indeed mysterious and unpredictable. No one in the entire Guiyuan Mansion, including Yan Jin and Xiao Xuan, knew its origin. When Xiao Xuan communicated with Xiao Yan, he proposed a hypothesis: this hurricane aura did not belong to the present, but appeared in ancient times and had been buried deep underground for many years.

Afterwards, Guiyuan Prefecture also tried to send strong people to search there again, but they found nothing. If they could obtain a large amount of this hurricane energy, it would definitely have an unexpected effect, but the current amount is not enough.

Despite this, Xiao Yan carefully put it away, as consuming it during battle could still play a significant role, as was the case during his chase with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix last time.

We brought back a lot of things from this trade fair, not just hurricane gas.

After completing his experiment with the Hurricane Qi, Xiao Yan plunged back into the Heavenly Tomb. Although the current situation was indeed very tense, Xiao Yan still had a lot to do.

Xiao Yan stayed in the Heavenly Tomb for three whole months, during which time he accomplished two major tasks.

Firstly, the successful absorption of the Xuanhuang Flame, a strange fire ranked twenty-third on the Strange Fire Ranking, did not bring Xiao Yan much improvement. Firstly, its quality was the lowest among the strange fires; Xiao Yan already possessed five primordial strange fires, each stronger than the Xuanhuang Flame, so it couldn't provide a significant boost. Secondly, this flame wasn't found by Xiao Yan himself; a considerable amount of energy was consumed during its discovery and control.

However, Xiao Yan didn't feel sorry, since he had already made preparations. He absorbed the strange fire more to enhance the power of his Buddha's Fury Lotus.

Secondly, Xiao Yan successfully crafted another battle puppet using the body of the Northern Dragon King. This time, the battle puppet used both the Northern Dragon King's physical body and soul, but Xiao Yan wasn't particularly satisfied with the final result. After a simple experiment, he discovered that the Northern Dragon King battle puppet was significantly weaker than the Western Dragon King battle puppet.

At this point, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh once again: the power of a Dou Di is truly incomparably strong!

The physical body of the Western Dragon King is definitely inferior to that of the Northern Dragon King, who is at the level of a five-star Dou Sheng. The reason why he was able to surpass him after becoming a battle puppet is because of the fragment of the remnant soul of the Spirit Clan Dou Di Ancestor that Xiao Yan seized. The power of the Dou Di significantly enhanced the strength of the Western Dragon King battle puppet.

Xiao Yan had made up his mind: the Northern Dragon King Battle Puppet wouldn't be of much use to him. Rather than keeping it himself, he'd rather give it to Little Fairy Doctor, who hadn't yet advanced to Dou Sheng, and he was always worried about her safety.

A great battle is imminent, and anything can happen then. Without the strength of a Dou Sheng, one cannot say for sure that one can protect oneself in the great battle.
