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

After Xiao Yan finished refining the battle puppet, he had no choice but to end his seclusion early and leave the Heavenly Tomb.

The anticipated great battle did not actually begin, and a strange calm remained outside. The reason why Little Fairy Doctor summoned Xiao Yan was because Mu Yaoyin, the veteran Dou Sheng powerhouse of Guiyuan Mansion and the ancestor of the Tianluan Clan, was on her deathbed.

Mu Yaoyin is an extremely important Dou Sheng fighter in Guiyuan Prefecture, and also the true backbone and soul of the Tianluan Clan.

She was the first Dou Sheng powerhouse Xiao Yan encountered, and she always firmly believed in him, supporting him without reservation. Without Mu Yaoyin, Xiao Yan might not have had the opportunity to make his mark in Zhongzhou.

Xiao Yan tried his best to cure her, but Mu Yaoyin's lifespan had indeed come to an end. Moreover, because she used the heaven-defying secret technique of "Phoenix Eyes Gazing at the Heavens," her body's ability to absorb pills was much weaker. After trying for a month, the results were minimal. Knowing her physical condition, she simply refused Xiao Yan's request to continue trying.

"Master, you don't need to waste your energy on this old servant anymore."

Mu Yaoyin also instructed Xiao Yan: "Now, both Guiyuan Prefecture and Tianluan Clan are developing in a positive direction, which is enough to prove that I did not misjudge my master."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but recall the time when he first came to Zhongzhou. "If it weren't for Senior Mu, I don't even know if I could be standing here."

It was only because the Tianluan Clan, led by Mu Yaoyin, came to the aid of Xingyun Pavilion that Xingyun Pavilion was not completely destroyed.

"Those are all things this old servant should do. Before I close my eyes completely, there are two things I must remind my master of."

"Xiaoxue has inherited my Phoenix Eye Heaven-Seeing Technique, but before she reaches the Half-Saint realm, what she sees is extremely limited. She absolutely cannot believe it, or great disaster may ensue!"

Xiao Yan nodded seriously. Mu Yaoyin's judgment on many things was extremely accurate, and he trusted this ability very much. Now that she was reminding him, she was afraid that he would rely too much on this ability, and that a misjudgment might lead to an irreparable situation.

"The second thing is that I know what Master has been worried about. At this last moment, I have decided to use the Phoenix Eye Sky-Gazing Technique on Master once again to explore the opportunity Master has been desperately seeking to defeat the Soul Ancient Clan."

Xiao Yan frowned upon hearing this: "I remember the senior once said that the Phoenix Eye Sky-Gazing Technique can only be used five times in a lifetime."

"Ahem, that's true. My strength has now reached its peak, and the information I can see will definitely be of help to Master. Master must not refuse!"

Xiao Yan shook his head firmly: "In that case, we absolutely cannot use it anymore!"

"If the day comes that I am truly no longer able to live, and I have delayed my master's important affairs, I fear that even after I die, I will not be able to forgive myself."

Even though Xiao Yan genuinely didn't want Mu Yaoyin to use this ability one last time, she remained steadfast. She even said that if Xiao Yan insisted on refusing, she would use this ability behind his back.

Having come this far, Xiao Yan naturally could no longer utter any words of refusal. He could only sincerely thank Mu Yaoyin for her contributions to him and to Guiyuan Mansion.

Aside from that, Mu Yaoyin didn't give any further explanation. She was different from Huoyun Patriarch. After Xiao Yan entered Zhongzhou, she basically helped him and understood his personality better than outsiders.

As for the Tianluan Clan, which she cares about, as long as Xiao Yan is still alive, they will never decline. And if one day Xiao Yan is gone too, then all her worries will be meaningless.

Subsequently, all forces in the Guiyuan Prefecture witnessed another awe-inspiring celestial phenomenon, and Mu Yaoyin once again used her remaining energy to fully unleash the Phoenix Eye Sky-Gazing Technique.

This time, the duration was much longer than before. The sun and moon appeared in the sky at the same time once again, and the giant eye of the celestial phoenix in the sky seemed to be watching everyone in Guiyuan Mansion.

"What is that?"

"It's the Ancestor!"

"The Celestial Phoenix Clan? What terrifying power!"

Finally, after an incense stick's time, the phantom of the Heavenly Phoenix in mid-air completely disappeared. Xiao Yan immediately appeared and supported Mu Yaoyin, who was extremely weak after casting the spell and whose entire body had lost its luster.

Upon arriving beside Mu Yaoyin, Xiao Yan was shocked by her appalling condition. Mu Yaoyin's state couldn't even be described as terrible; she had completely lost all life. Her entire body bore no resemblance to a living person; the only reason she hadn't yet breathed her last was likely due to the last vestiges of her vitality.

"Master...cough cough, I just glimpsed a crucial opportunity for you...the battle against...the Soul Ancient...is not without a chance of victory...You must go to...Canaan Academy...and take...Zi Yan with you..."

Xiao Yan already knew that Mu Yaoyin was willing to pay the price of her life for this final divination. She wanted to see where the almost non-existent chance of victory lay between Guiyuan Prefecture and the allied forces of the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan.

Now it seems she really did make a discovery!

Xiao Yan cautiously asked, "Senior Mu, I understand, but when should I go?"

At this moment, Mu Yaoyin was barely breathing. When she heard Xiao Yan's question, she trembled slightly, knowing that she had to explain things clearly to Xiao Yan.

"When the time comes... you will naturally feel it..."

After saying this, Mu Yaoyin's last bit of strength completely disappeared. Her body could no longer bear the burden, and her withered hands fell limply to the ground.

Then, Xiao Yan supported her body and watched as Mu Yaoyin's body began to dissipate. Her soul and body seemed to have been scorched by extremely intense flames, turning directly into fragments. Xiao Yan watched all this, wanting to stop it, but he was completely helpless.

Mu Yaoyin had also told him that the Phoenix Eye Sky-Gazing Technique, which was meant to explore the secrets of heaven, was inherently against the will of heaven, and that using it too much would also result in punishment from the plane of existence.

Now it seems that her body completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind, which was the price she paid for using the Phoenix Eye Sky-Gazing Technique five times. Seeing yet another Dou Sheng powerhouse from Guiyuan Palace, a loyal senior who had fallen, Xiao Yan was also in a very bad mood.

He solemnly assured the void, "May Senior Mu rest in peace. As long as Xiao Yan is still alive, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will never weaken!"

After Mu Yaoyin left, a figure appeared as promised, standing beside Xiao Yan. It was Mu Qianxue, the successor Mu Yaoyin had painstakingly cultivated, the next young woman from the Tianluan Clan capable of mastering the Luan Eye Sky-Gazing Technique.

"Mu Qianxue greets her master."

Xiao Yan kept Mu Yaoyin's instructions in mind. Mu Qianxue was a descendant personally taught by her, and she knew more about many things and details than Xiao Yan. So Xiao Yan also conveyed to Mu Qianxue what Mu Yaoyin had just told him, wanting her to help him analyze it.
