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

Upon hearing Mu Yaoyin's final words, Mu Qianxue replied without hesitation, "This last glimpse of the heavens through the Phoenix Eye was released by Grandma at all costs, so the information she saw must be the most complete. Since she said you must go to Canaan Academy, then you must go there. Moreover, her only instruction was to bring Miss Ziyan along, and you must do as she says!"

"That's natural, but I still don't understand this timing," Xiao Yan continued, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't worry, Master. Since Grandma said that, she must have her reasons. Just keep waiting, and when it's time to leave, you'll definitely sense it."

These words were vague, and Xiao Yan didn't obtain any other information. However, based on Mu Yaoyin's previous behavior, her judgments were generally correct. When the time was right, she would definitely sense something.

At this moment, Xiao Yan could only ponder to himself that the hope of defeating the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan was actually related to Canaan Academy. He had also studied at Canaan Academy before, although he only stayed there for a month due to his overwhelming strength. Xiao Yan knew that apart from a strange flame, there was nothing special about the academy. In fact, the strange flame stored at Canaan Academy was deliberately left there by Jiang Yunyan. After she took it out and gave it to Lei Jingxiao, Canaan Academy should theoretically have nothing else there.

Furthermore, they absolutely had to bring Zi Yan along. While Zi Yan was indeed incredibly strong, she could only be considered the fourth strongest in Guiyuan Prefecture at the moment, so their lineup wasn't exactly luxurious. The only connection was that Zi Yan had grown up at Canaan Academy.

After realizing he couldn't get any more information, Xiao Yan could only bury this important information in his heart.

He was constantly thinking about ways to fight against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. Although he had a solution now, it was too vague and still could not alleviate his true anxiety.

……

After the passing of Ancestor Tianluan, a full six months passed. During these six months, the continent remained calm and peaceful, without any major disturbances.

The quieter the situation, the more cautious the Guiyuan Prefecture became, for a simple reason: the ancient clan would never send a message without a reason.

He either genuinely wanted to warn Guiyuan Prefecture, or he wanted to gain their trust before inflicting real damage. His true goal was definitely not to force Guiyuan Prefecture to retreat and remain inactive, as it is now.

Although those within the Guiyuan Manor who were unaware of the situation felt that nothing had changed much, those like Xiao Yan who knew everything were becoming increasingly anxious.

The feeling of being completely out of control, with a sharp blade hanging overhead that could fall at any moment, unable to predict when it will fall and potentially injured by it, is extremely unpleasant.

Little Fairy Doctor noticed Xiao Yan's barely concealed anxiety and was naturally worried about his situation. So she assigned him a small task: every fifteen days, he had to inspect the entire Guiyuan Prefecture. He could do nothing else, but he must personally inspect the condition of at least one pavilion in Guiyuan Prefecture. The euphemism was: to do some proper work that a pavilion master should do.

Since it was Little Fairy Doctor who made the suggestion, Xiao Yan naturally did as she asked.

His strength has now reached another bottleneck, and he's unlikely to make any significant breakthroughs in the short term. Once you reach the Dou Sheng level, relying solely on arduous cultivation is a slow and inefficient process, a situation that's fair to everyone. Furthermore, Little Fairy Doctor has already handled the truly important matters; Xiao Yan only needs half a day to inspect them.

Speaking of the inspection, Xiao Yan had already made considerable gains, but some of what he saw left him feeling somewhat helpless.

First and foremost is Wang Yun, who can be considered the most "arrogant" figure in the entire Guiyuan Prefecture.

Every day, all he could say was "Damn it!" and "That damned skinner!" Ever since returning from the Medicine Clan, Wang Yun's complaints had never stopped. The reason, of course, was that he was simply too busy. He hadn't yet truly mastered his soul resurrection technique, and currently, he was the only one in the entire Guiyuan Prefecture who could control the Origin Spirit Crystal. Therefore, no one else could do the task of resurrecting the soul body; he had to handle it all by himself.

If it were just resurrection, that would be fine. He resurrected all the souls from the Heavenly Tomb before; it would just be a busy period. But since his resurrection technique was revealed, the Medicine Clan has become extremely interested in it. Will the amount of herbs used have an impact? How will changing the proportions affect the resurrection? How should the use of these herbs be arranged?

The Medicine Clan was extremely interested in everything and didn't want to miss a thing. Since they took it so seriously, Wang Yun, as the legitimate creator, naturally had to cooperate with them.

He had previously reported this matter to Little Fairy Doctor, and Little Fairy Doctor's reply was very simple: nowadays, fighting against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan has become the general trend. The stronger the allies, the stronger the Guiyuan Palace will be. Elder Wang Yun is asked to prioritize the great cause of Guiyuan Palace and not refuse. She perfectly deflected the question.

Unable to change the situation, Wang Yun had no choice but to continue burying himself in work, constantly helping the Stone Clan, Medicine Clan, and Thunder Clan complete their soul rebirth plans.

In the surprise attack by the Stone Clan and the Soul Ancient Clan, a significant number of powerful individuals perished, and the number of soul entities was unprecedented, providing the Medicine Clan with ample opportunities for experimentation. Facing such a group of meticulous individuals greatly increased Wang Yun's workload. His complaints were naturally directed at the couple, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor, who had been constantly "torturing" him.

When Little Fairy Doctor learned of this, she merely smiled and ignored it. Xiao Yan had visited once before, but after being severely reprimanded by Wang Yun, he chose to avoid seeing him altogether and deliberately avoided the area during his patrols.

So, the others weren't surprised to see Wang Yun in this state. After all, he had done his job very well; so many powerful members of the Stone Clan had been resurrected by him, and there hadn't been any complaints. On the contrary, they all praised the Guiyuan Palace's efforts.

As for Wang Yun himself, he naturally knew that the current environment in Zhongzhou was not good. Even if he could escape from Guiyuan Prefecture, he would have even less of a good life with the more powerful Soul Clan and Ancient Clan. Although he was busy now, he could at least see that Guiyuan Prefecture was a place worth entrusting himself to. As long as he could become the winner in the end, he wouldn't suffer any losses. However, he had to suffer the losses in front of him now, and his way of resisting them was through constant complaining.
