Yao Chen took the cultivation method given by Yao Dan and opened it with a hint of anticipation. The cultivation method was sealed with a special technique, so only the first half was visible for now. To see the latter half, the mysterious person who provided this cultivation method would have to come knocking.
After browsing for a moment, the excitement on Yao Chen's face receded, replaced by a strange expression.
"Teacher, Teacher, how is it? What kind of cultivation method is it?" Xiao Yan curiously leaned over.
"See for yourself." Yao Chen casually tossed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan quickly caught it: "Hey, Teacher, this is the cultivation method practiced by Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, you should at least treat it with a little more care."
He muttered as he opened the scroll and extended his mental force into it.
After a while, he looked up, a little bewildered, at Yao Chen: "Ah... this..."
Isn't this the Burning诀?
This Yao Ceremony was so grand, attracting so many powerful individuals, even the Yao Clan chief, Yao Dan, personally participated, and more than half of it was because of it... He didn't expect it to be the cultivation method he himself practiced!
Xiao Yan shook his head and chuckled bitterly. It seemed he had been living in bliss without realizing it in the past!
After finishing his conversation with Yao Chen, Yao Dan sought out the Gu Clan's delegation. The Yan Clan's people happened to be there as well.
He slightly cupped his hands to Gu Lie: "Black Nirvana King, Mr. Huo Yao, you have all seen the power displayed by the Soul Clan, haven't you... the Nine-Star Dou Saint strength of Void Swallowing Flame, the Four Demon Saints, and Hun Xunzi..."
Gu Lie nodded: "Even my Gu Clan would probably fall short."
Fairy Huo Ling said with a solemn expression: "Just those few who came earlier, if they were to attack the Yan Clan, we would probably have to activate our clan's protective Great War array. Even if we could barely block them, it would certainly not be easy."
Yao Dan said in a low tone: "The Soul Clan has always been extremely aggressive. If Yao Chen hadn't refined a ninth grade golden pill, who knows how this Yao Ceremony would have ended... They wouldn't have needed such a grand display just to snatch that cultivation method."
Huo Yao's gaze sharpened: "Are you saying their original target might have been the Yao Clan?"
Yao Dan nodded: "Highly likely."
After a pause, he said: "I hope to deepen our ties with the Gu Clan and Yan Clan, and establish a stable spatial passage. In return for the help of you all this time, the Yao Clan is willing to provide various pills to both clans at a low price."
Although the Gu Clan had Gu Feng and the Yan Clan had Huo Yao, the number of Alchemists within both clans was still too small, and pills were in short supply. The Yao Clan's willingness to provide pills at a low price was a very tempting offer.
Gu Lie understood that the Yao Clan was doing this more to seek protection. After some thought, he said:
"This matter is of great importance. After I return and report to the Clan chief, let's convene an Ancient Alliance Meeting... The threat of the Soul Clan cannot be ignored. Not only our three clans, but the Lei Clan, Ling Clan, and Shi Clan must also be notified."
Huo Ling and Huo Yao exchanged glances. After a silent exchange, the former nodded: "The Yan Clan will definitely participate."
After a brief discussion and confirming their preliminary intentions, the people from the Gu Clan and Yan Clan left the Yao Clan.
On the other side, with the Yao Ceremony concluded, Yao Wanhuo organized the guests to leave the Medicine World. Usually, after the Yao Ceremony, guests could stay in the Yao Clan for some time, purchasing medicinal ingredients, pills, and so on in Medicine City. However, due to the special circumstances this time, the subsequent series of activities were canceled.
The guests had no complaints about this and expressed their understanding. This trip had already opened their eyes. Not only had they witnessed the birth of a ninth grade golden pill, but they had also seen the remnant soul of Medicine Emperor, Void Swallowing Flame, and even a Great War between Nine-Star Dou Saint... It was more lively than any previous Yao Ceremony!
Yao Chen wrote the names of his parents on the Yao Clan's Monument of Merit (Merit Stele)... Their merit was in raising a Golden Pill Master... Afterwards, he visited his parents' graves, and after paying his respects, he left the Medicine World with Xiao Yan and Xun'er.
In the void, they encountered the Gu Clan A group of people (group of people) waiting there.
"Black Nirvana King," Gu Lie said, "Miss, the situation has changed. Please come back with me... The coming-of-age ceremony is about to begin, and you need to prepare."
Xun'er hesitated, looking at Xiao Yan with a hint of worry in her eyes. Although Xiao Yan's mindset had become much more stable than when she first saw him, she was still a little concerned.
The latter gave her a smile: "Don't worry, I've adjusted. Xiao Meng might still be saved... I'll be there to observe your coming-of-age ceremony, good luck!"
Xun'er suddenly hugged Xiao Yan, her lips gently touching his cheek: "Brother Xiao Yan, you must come, Xun'er is still waiting for you to beat up my father and then propose."
Recalling their previous agreement, Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. The more he grew, the more he understood Gu Yuan's formidable power.
Beat up the Clan chief? A smile appeared on Gu Lie's face. He was very much looking forward to seeing this scene... In the void, the chase continued.
A massive creature, thousands of feet long, moved at an extremely high speed. Wherever it passed, energy surged, and the rampant spatial storms could not leave a single mark on its purplish-gold dragon scales.
A dark, black light relentlessly pursued it. This dark, black light emitted an extremely scorching aura, devouring the surrounding energy along the way to replenish its own consumption.
Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li, clad in black robes with wide hoods concealing their faces, watched from afar as the giant dragon and the flame swept past, one after another.
"Are we just going to watch?" Xiao Li asked.
Xiao Ding also looked at his father, his eyes showing a questioning look.
Xiao Zhan remained silent, not a single fluctuation of aura emanating from him, appearing exceptionally profound.
He contacted Amon in his mind: "What should we do next? Do you need our help?"
"No need, I can handle it... Stay far away, don't get caught in the battle." Amon's voice echoed directly in his mind.
"Your Main Body shouldn't have broken through to Nine-Star Dou Saint yet, right? How will you deal with these two guys?" Xiao Zhan asked with some doubt.
"I can't deal with Void Swallowing Flame, but I have a special method for that ninth grade golden pill, so I have to wait for the right moment... The Yao Clan is currently weak, you can take the opportunity to seize the ancient jade."
Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and felt this was an opportunity.
He had previously traded the Xiao Clan's ancient jade to Hun Tiandi, and not having a single fragment in his hands always made him uneasy, worrying that Hun Tiandi might quietly gather the entire Tuoshe ancient emperor jade someday.
He replied: "Alright, you be careful."
Ending his conversation with Amon, Xiao Zhan looked at his two sons and said: "Don't worry about this side, follow me to the Yao Clan."
"Yao Clan?"
"Yes, we are going to seize the Tuoshe ancient emperor jade."
