With this Emperor Flame Seed, it would make it much easier for Xiao Yan to devour Heavenly Flames in the future.
At the same time, with the activation of the Flame God Art, the power unleashed by this wisp of Bone Chilling Flame in Xiao Yan's hands was not much weaker than Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame.
Of course, Xiao Yan's current Dou Qi quantity determined that he temporarily couldn't use the Bone Chilling Flame as wantonly as Yao Lao.
However, with this trump card, even if he encountered a Dou Ling expert, Xiao Yan could take out one or two by surprise.
"Since my Emperor Flame Seed has been successfully cultivated, then next, I can break through to Dou Zhe!"
A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. The next moment, that wisp of Bone Chilling Flame, which he had refined into a source flame seed, was easily commanded by him, catalyzed by Dou Qi into wisps of Bone Chilling Flame.
Easily commanded by Xiao Yan to drill into various parts of his meridians, the Bone Chilling Flame quickly refined the remaining energy of the Small Earth Spirit Pill in those meridians, then converted it into pure Dou Qi, and finally gathered it in Xiao Yan's Dantian.
Breaking through from the Dou Qi stage to Dou Zhe was actually the process of gathering the scattered Dou Qi in the body into a Dou Qi cyclone that could rotate on its own.
From then on, the Dou Qi cyclone would operate on its own, condensing scattered Dou Qi into streams, thereby making a Dou Zhe's Dou Qi storage and endurance far exceed that of the Dou Qi stage.
The reason why many people failed when breaking through the Dou Qi stage was mainly because they were not familiar enough with the laws of Dou Qi and couldn't grasp the best form and timing for the cyclone to condense.
However, what did this kind of problem count for the current Xiao Yan?
With his tens of thousands of years of experience, how could he not grasp such a small breakthrough? Therefore, the so-called Qi Gathering Powder was now almost useless to Xiao Yan.
The Dou Qi in his body was continuously catalyzed into Bone Chilling Flame, and then a large amount of energy refined from the Small Earth Spirit Pill was converted into new Dou Qi.
Under such continuous circumstances, the Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body quickly returned to its peak state and was even continuously gathering.
Finally, at a certain point when the Dou Qi had gathered to its peak, Xiao Yan's mind moved, and his powerful soul power instantly manipulated all the Dou Qi to condense in his Dantian.
"Peng!"
As that Dou Qi was compressed to the size of a fist, already approaching its limit, a muffled sound rang out. A palm-sized cyclone appeared and finally rotated quietly within Xiao Yan's body.
"Dou Zhe, success!"
Almost at the instant Xiao Yan became a Dou Zhe, his physical body and soul were also instantly strengthened to some extent. Especially Xiao Yan's soul power, which had always been very strong.
The reason why he could only exert the soul level of a second-grade alchemist now was actually just because Xiao Yan's body couldn't withstand too much soul power.
And the moment he broke through to become a Dou Zhe, his soul power naturally recovered to a level comparable to a third-grade alchemist.
A third-grade alchemist was already barely considered a prominent figure in this Jia Ma Empire.
Of course, Xiao Yan had no interest in this status within the Jia Ma Empire. What truly made him a little excited was that after his soul power reached this level, two crucial abilities would be unlocked.
That was the ability to interfere with matter using the soul, and the ability to transmit information using the soul.
In other words, a third-grade alchemist already preliminarily possessed the ability to fight with soul power and to impart cultivation techniques and information with soul power.
Of course, the soul power of most third-grade alchemists could only roughly interfere with matter. The actual attack power they could exert was probably less than that of a Dou Zhe.
However, Xiao Yan possessed numerous soul attack methods, so the level he could display was naturally terrifying.
But what made him most happy was the ability to transmit information using soul power.
This also meant that he could transmit many of his memories and techniques from his previous life to Yao Lao through soul transmission.
Once Yao Lao learned these methods, his strength would naturally soar like a rocket. Temporarily putting aside these thoughts, Xiao Yan continued to activate the Bone Chilling Flame to continuously refine the remaining medicinal power in the Small Earth Spirit Pill within his body.
This Small Earth Spirit Pill had no specific grade; it was just deduced by Xiao Yan using the medicinal formula of the Earth Spirit Pill. However, the energy it contained should not be lower than that of a fourth-grade or even fifth-grade medicinal pill.
Some of the remaining energy in it was enough to save him a period of arduous cultivation.
After wisps of pure energy were refined by the Bone Chilling Flame, they were then converted by Xiao Yan into the Dou Qi of the Flame God Art. Although he had only refined a wisp of Bone Chilling Flame, it still temporarily raised his Flame God Art to the advanced Huang rank.
Just like that, after sitting cross-legged in the cave until it was dark, Xiao Yan finally opened his eyes again. As he exhaled a breath of turbid air mixed with a few wisps of ghastly white flame, Xiao Yan slowly stood up.
Abundant Dou Qi circulated rapidly within his body, and his pair of eyes were filled with a brilliant light.
"Three-star Dou Zhe. At this speed, in a few more months, I should be able to try breaking through to Dou Shi. At that time, I can help Father and my two older brothers activate their Dou Di bloodlines."
A faint smile touched Xiao Yan's lips. This breakthrough had brought a huge improvement to his strength.
He had refined a wisp of Emperor Flame Seed using the Bone Chilling Flame, and his Dou Qi had directly reached the level of a three-star Dou Zhe.
At the same time, his physical body had also become stronger. Moreover, after becoming a Dou Zhe, he could use the numerous body-refining methods from his memories to forge an even more formidable body.
Of course, the biggest help was that his soul power had recovered a lot. Not only did he gain the ability to transmit information with his soul, but he also recovered many memories.
Basically, all the cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques he had collected before ascending to the Great Thousand World had been completely remembered by him.
"It's a pity that the memories regarding the Great Thousand World and after becoming a Sovereign are still somewhat blurry, especially the memories after becoming a Sovereign. I almost only remember what major events happened, but the specific details are completely unclear."
Xiao Yan sighed, his gaze turning to Yao Lao at the side, but a smile appeared on his lips.
"Never mind. Although I only remember these things, it should be temporarily enough for Teacher."
"Teacher, I will temporarily impart three secret arts to you now. I believe they should be enough for you before you become a Dou Di."
Hearing Xiao Yan's call, Yao Lao was stunned for a moment, then his old face also showed a bit of bewilderment.
Enough even before becoming a Dou Di, this little fellow sure has a big mouth.
Could it really be as he boasted, that Dou Di experts were nothing? Thinking this, his old face also showed a trace of curiosity. Yao Lao floated lightly in front of Xiao Yan.
Seeing Yao Lao arrive, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He closed his eyes in contemplation, recalling three secret arts that could stir up a bloody storm in the Dou Qi Continent. Then, his soul power brewed, and he gently tapped Yao Lao's forehead with his finger.
As a vast stream of information flowed out from his soul, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned pale.
The three secret arts he imparted were all created by Dou Di experts or even stronger individuals. The amount of information used was extremely vast. An ordinary third-grade alchemist would probably find it incredibly difficult to transmit even a single chapter of any one of these secret arts.
Only because his control over soul power was so exquisite could he achieve this.
But even so, the consumption involved still made Xiao Yan's brain feel dizzy.
And after these three pieces of information entered Yao Lao's mind, Yao Lao also fell into a brief period of contemplation.
After a long while, his pair of old eyes suddenly opened, bursting forth with an unprecedentedly excited light.
