Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 22 The Mark of Flame

The Monster Mountain Range is densely forested and has complex terrain. Xiao Yan fled at full speed, and in no time, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group members had disappeared from sight.

However, they were extremely familiar with the outer area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range and had roughly determined the range in which Xiao Yan could escape, so they did not give up.

As night fell, Xiao Yan found a secluded cave, ate something casually, and began to cultivate cross-legged.

Looking inward at the nebula-like vortex of Dou Qi, Xiao Yan finally had time to quietly comprehend it in order to solve the problem of his insufficient Dou Qi.

On this issue, Xiao Yan's overall approach is very clear.

Since low-level Yellow Rank cultivation techniques can only allow the Battle Qi vortex to contain a very small amount of Battle Qi, then we can just find another place to store the Battle Qi.

Simply put, it's about creating something like a second-stage vortex of energy.

His fighting spirit is twice that of an ordinary person, and he can wear down his opponent to death.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan thought of the clan markings of the Dou Qi Continent.

Clan markings are far more powerful than the simple second-stage vortex.

It can dramatically increase a person's strength, allowing them to achieve a comeback victory against all odds.

With these two factors combined, Xiao Yan finalized his plan.

The secret technique he created initially had a simple effect similar to the second Dou Qi vortex, increasing the Dou Qi he could use; in the middle stage, it could also achieve something similar to the clan mark, enhancing his strength; in the later stage, when it reached its peak, it truly rivaled and surpassed the clan mark.

The ancient clan mark activates the bloodline power within the body of the ancient clan member; to say that his bloodline power is negligible would be an exaggeration.

Therefore, there are many problems that need to be solved.

However, Xiao Yan didn't take these issues to heart.

Cultivation on the Dou Qi Continent has reached an era of decline.

Ancient methods of soul cultivation and soul attack are now only stably passed down by the Pill Tower and some ancient families; as for how to break through to the Dou Di level, no more than ten people in the entire Dou Qi Continent know.

Some things created by our ancestors in ancient times have been almost lost to later generations due to their cultivation methods, instead of being developed to a higher level.

With his extraordinary comprehension, Xiao Yan has a very thorough understanding of his cultivation environment.

From the moment it was born, it was able to accomplish things that ordinary people could not do. After years of training, it will be even more extraordinary in the future.

A Dou Di is not born through the power of bloodline!

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty!

As midnight approached, all was quiet except for a gentle breeze rustling through the treetops.

[Through your experience in condensing battle qi vortexes, you've had an epiphany; you've mastered the secret technique, "Seal of Flame"!]

[The Mark of Flame: A secret method to store battle aura in the space between the eyebrows, which can be released at crucial moments. The amount of battle aura stored is affected by physical fitness and the strength of one's soul power.]

The initial plan has been completed! Xiao Yan stopped practicing his cultivation technique, slowly opened his eyes, and looked slightly tired.

After all, the total time spent comprehending the technique was less than a day. Creating this secret technique from scratch can be considered to have reached a heaven-defying level.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan formed hand seals and closed his eyes again.

The Burning Technique was activated again, but this time the absorbed and refined battle qi was not transported into the battle qi vortex. Instead, contrary to the norm, it flowed upwards.

With the convergence of numerous battle energies, a yellow light appeared between Xiao Yan's brows.

The moment the yellow light appeared, the cultivation of the Flame Seal entered the right path.

A terrifying devouring power suddenly erupted from between his brows, and the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly, then condensed into countless energy threads, slowly merging into the yellow light spot.

The energy of heaven and earth entered Xiao Yan's body from there, circulating according to the Burning Technique, refining it into pure Dou Qi, and finally being inputted back into this place.

With the continuous influx of battle energy, what was originally a few scattered specks of light gradually transformed into a mysterious flame mark.

This flame mark seems to contain endless mysteries; it appears to be a raging inferno, yet it also seems to contain boundless wisdom.

Each of its patterns resembles an ancient magic circle, shimmering with profound radiance, revealing a mysterious and majestic quality that transcends the mundane world.

As the energy of heaven and earth continued to flow into the cave, Yao Lao quickly noticed the anomaly.

Emerging from the Bone Flame Ring, and seeing Xiao Yan absorbing the energy of heaven and earth between his brows, even the experienced Yao Lao couldn't help but scratch his head for a moment.

Geniuses always encounter things they can't understand.

This started almost when Xiao Yan was still in his mother's womb. As he grew up, Xiao Yan became increasingly incomprehensible to him.

As the sun rises and sets, the newly risen sun dispels all the darkness before dawn, and the soft sunlight is warm and comforting!

Having absorbed terrifying energy from heaven and earth, the originally yellow flame mark turned crimson like blood, dazzlingly bright.

Looking at the flame-like mark that seemed to be burning, Yao Lao suddenly thought of an almost impossible possibility—the clan mark!

That was all the old doctor could think of.

Yao Lao also came from an ancient family. Although he was of low birth and status, he knew about the existence of the ancient family from the beginning.

Later, he became an eighth-grade alchemist, and he knew far more about some secrets than ordinary people.

But Yao Lao also knew in his heart that the clan mark was not so simple to be born.

First, one needs an extremely strong ancient family bloodline; second, one needs a rather complicated process.

Xiao Yan...

"His surname is Xiao!" The old doctor's eyes widened suddenly, a glint of light flashing in his old eyes.

Some things that I couldn't understand before, I understand a bit more now.

There was once a Xiao clan among the ancient families, but it declined and disappeared as if overnight.

"The fact that they were able to get close to us means it's almost certain." Looking at his disciple, Yao Lao couldn't help but sigh.

With such a background, even if they are currently in a remote area, they will likely face many troubles in the future. They should try to increase their strength as much as possible.

After cultivating all night, Xiao Yan activated the Flame Seal and stored twice his own Dou Qi within it.

Although it's not a huge amount, the Flame Seal still has considerable storage space.

When I have time to complete it later, I roughly estimate that it will be no less than that of a one-star Dou Shi powerhouse who has cultivated a Yellow-rank technique.

"Teacher, you woke up quite early." Xiao Yan chuckled as he saw Yao Lao floating in mid-air.

Having cultivated the "Seal of Flame," Xiao Yan felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Currently, he has only discovered the most basic usage, and there is still a lot of room for exploration in terms of how to further enhance its power.

Yao Lao hadn't slept all night and had absolutely no desire to talk to Xiao Yan.

With a flick of his finger, the pale white light stopped in front of Xiao Yan, condensing into a mirror as white as jade.

A flame mark, resembling a real flame, appeared on his originally delicate face.
