In the silent chamber, the concept of time became extremely vague. The lingering sandalwood incense filled the air with a refreshing scent, and in this leisurely atmosphere, time slipped away quietly…
Three months… Xiao Yan’s seclusion for meditation lasted an entire three months, a duration that even he himself might not have anticipated. In that state of deep slumber, he forgot about time, as if engrossed in the wondrous sensation of cleansing his physical body.
Xiao Yan sat quietly on the cold jade bed. His skin now had a faint purplish hue, and beneath it, one could faintly see a faint purplish-red color flowing. These purplish-red streams emitted a tremendously strong fluctuation as they moved. The rippling light, which was now dancing over Xiao Yan’s body, emanated from his heart, spreading out in circles, enveloping his entire form…
This luminescence continued for three months! Three months of purification turned Xiao Yan’s originally pale skin into a purplish-red, and even his black hair took on a slightly reddish tint, giving him a somewhat otherworldly appearance.
Of course, the transformation was not just external. His aura also reached its peak in the late stage of one-star Dou Sheng within these three months, nearly ready to break through to the two-star Dou Sheng realm!
The bloodline tempering clearly brought great benefits to Xiao Yan. When his aura reached the peak of the late stage of one-star, he still did not awaken from his deep slumber…
Time passed slowly in this state of slumber. Day 91… Day 93… Day 97… Day 99… Day 100!
As the 100th day arrived, a peculiar sound, like rushing water, suddenly appeared in the quiet chamber. The source of the sound was Xiao Yan, who was sitting on the cold jade bed! As the sound intensified, the space around Xiao Yan began to violently fluctuate. Energies condensed into whirlwinds, swirling around him, emitting a whistling sound.
The speed of the whirlwinds accelerated, and more energy flooded into the chamber, being absorbed by the whirlwinds, which rapidly expanded in size.
“Bang!” The sturdy chamber was instantly torn apart by the expanding whirlwinds, and blinding light spilled in from the outside, illuminating the room.
“What’s happening?”
“What’s going on?”
The sudden appearance of the energy whirlwind on Eastern Dragon Island drew the attention of many powerful individuals. Instantly, figures streaked across the sky, appearing outside Xiao Yan’s chamber, and gazed at the madly spinning energy storm with astonishment.
“Don’t panic, everyone, stay in your positions.”
While everyone was in shock, a calm voice emerged from the Dragon Hall. Zi Yan and Little Healer Immortal appeared in the sky.
Seeing Zi Yan appear, the members of the Ancient Void Dragons hurriedly bowed, then moved back to a respectful distance.
“I wondered why it took so long for the healing. It turns out you were aiming to make a breakthrough,” Zi Yan chuckled, floating in the sky, looking down at Xiao Yan, who was in the eye of the whirlwind.
Little Healer Immortal and Qing Lin sighed in relief. They had been incredibly worried for the past three months. If not for Zi Yan’s assurance, they would have forcibly entered the chamber. After all, Xiao Yan’s injuries were severe, and anyone would be concerned about an unforeseen event. Fortunately, their worst fears did not materialize, and Xiao Yan even managed to break through to the two-star Dou Sheng realm due to the power of his bloodline!
“Brother Xiao Yan truly is extraordinary. Just a few months ago, he was at the early stage of one-star Dou Sheng, and now he has the opportunity to reach two-star.” Yao Ming praised sincerely. During this time, although he occasionally returned to the Nine Serpent Deep Pit, he spent most of his time on Eastern Dragon Island, eagerly climbing the ladder of the Ancient Void Dragons.
As the crowd on the island discussed Xiao Yan’s transformation, the energy pouring into the whirlwind grew increasingly terrifying. Eventually, the whirlwind became viscous, and droplets of energy liquid floated around it, emanating a shocking fluctuation.
As more and more energy condensed into droplets, the whirlwind gradually evolved into an energy vortex. In just a few minutes, the final surge of energy was transformed into a drop of liquid, merging into the giant vortex.
“Boom!”
When the whirlwind finally transformed into an energy vortex, the entire vortex quivered violently. Then, Xiao Yan, who had been in a near-hundred-day slumber, suddenly opened his eyes, and two shocking purplish-red beams shot out!
These two beams pierced the sky, and on the island, many of the Ancient Void Dragons felt an unusual pressure. This pressure came from the bloodline…
“Is this… the pressure of the Dragon Emperor bloodline? How could it be on his body?”
Amidst the astonishment of the Ancient Void Dragons, Zi Yan’s face showed a hint of surprise. From the light, she sensed a familiar flavor.
“It’s the power of the Dragon Phoenix bloodline, and it seems to be mixed with other forces.”
Of course, no one knew that Xiao Yan’s bloodline power was a fusion of the Xiao Clan, Gu Clan, and Dragon Phoenix bloodlines, containing the unique essence of the Dragon Phoenix.
As exclamations echoed on the island, Xiao Yan’s mouth suddenly opened wide, and the enormous energy vortex was swallowed by him in a single gulp!
“Boom!”
When the final surge of energy was drawn into Xiao Yan’s body, the cold jade bed on which he sat exploded into powder. A horrendously powerful aura slowly permeated from him, enveloping the entire area.
“Success.”
Feeling the powerful aura, Zi Yan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with joy.
“Whew…”
Xiao Yan raised his head, exhaling a dense breath, which condensed into a droplet and fell onto the fragments of the cold jade below. Instantly, the fragments coalesced back into a stone platform, from which a tremendous energy fluctuation radiated.
With a long exhale, Xiao Yan stood up, clenching his hand, and a burst of intense power spread through every cell of his body.
“Such a strong physical body…”
Slightly sensing his current state, Xiao Yan was delighted. After three months of bloodline tempering, his physical strength was probably no less than that of the Ancient Void Dragons.
“This time, it seems I’ve benefited from misfortune…”
Xiao Yan lightly touched his chest. If not for the life-and-death battle, the bloodline in his heart might not have activated, and he wouldn’t have broken through to the two-star Dou Sheng realm so quickly. His body would not have been strengthened to this extent either. Now, Xiao Yan could sense a continuous stream of purplish-red blood flowing from his heart, continuously purifying his body. Although the efficiency was lower, it was persistent, and this constant tempering, if accumulated, would be extremely potent.
“Haha, Brother Xiao Yan, congratulations! To break through again in just a few months, this training speed is truly humbling.”
As Xiao Yan rejoiced in his changes, a hearty laugh echoed from the sky. Yao Ming and the others descended, landing near him.
Xiao Yan nodded to Yao Ming, then looked at Zi Yan, relieved to see her face had returned to normal. It seemed she had recovered from her previous weakened state.
“How long have I been in seclusion this time?”
“For more than three months, precisely a hundred days.”
“A hundred days…”
Xiao Yan’s eyes flickered with surprise, and then he asked, “Any news from the alliance?”
“Yes, a message came a few days ago from Pharmacist Elder. He wants you to return to the Star-Falling Pavilion as soon as possible.”
A look of seriousness appeared on Xiao Yan’s face. The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was about to be born, and the Soul Temple was also making big moves, indicating they were planning to act on the Demon Flame.
Xiao Yan nodded. The timing matched the emergence of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. As for the Soul Temple, he knew they would not be idle. This heavenly treasure was bound to trigger their greed.
“If that’s the case, we should set off for the Star-Falling Pavilion today. The matter of the Demon Flame needs to be discussed carefully…”
Xiao Yan’s voice carried a tinge of somberness. For the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, he had invested immense effort. This would be a powerful means to deal with the Soul Temple and the Soul Clan. Therefore, no matter what, he must obtain the Demon Flame!
