Chapter 25: Xiao Yan Stands Up?

After acquiring the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and Original True Understanding, everyone in the group began to Cultivate diligently. Shi Jian was no exception. Besides training in the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and Original True Understanding, he also chose the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist from the Great Five Elements Technique. This unique skill primarily focuses on surging power, enduring stamina, and dense resilience. It was most suitable for his monstrous strength. With the power of the Giant Elephant, a single punch, even the cub of an ancient Vicious Beast, could not withstand his blow. During the day, he went out to hunt various Vicious Beasts. He also collected rare herbs. Then, he brewed these items into powerful medicines according to the ancient prescriptions given by Willow Deity. In the evening, he did not stay in Stone Village. Instead, he ran to the chaotic stone waterfall group more than seventy miles away to Cultivate. This was precisely where Shi Hao Cultivated in the original novel. Here, three large rivers converged, cascading down from the chaotic stone valley. Waterfalls fell in sheets, occasionally bringing down rolling rocks, creating a magnificent spectacle. Those who didn't know would hear the sound and think it was an army of thousands charging. This place was indeed a Cultivation Holy Land. After devouring the precious blood of various Vicious Beasts, Shi Jian directly tempered his Physical Body and absorbed energy within the waterfalls. The incredibly violent pressure of the waterfall continuously tempered his Physical Body. The huge rocks that occasionally fell with the waterfall were even more heart-stopping. This kind of Cultivation not only benefited the Physical Body's Cultivation but also served as a test for one's mental will. Without using the power of the Giant Elephant, Shi Jian's Cultivation in this waterfall was quite challenging. He often had bruises all over his body. However, correspondingly, his progress was also incredibly terrifying. Leaving aside the improvement in his Cultivation, just the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, he had already Cultivated it to a very profound level. The Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist was originally a grand and powerful fist technique. And the convergence of three great rivers into a cascading waterfall, that majestic power, coincided perfectly with the Concept of the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist. Under these circumstances, Shi Jian went against the current of the river, and his Cultivation and comprehension naturally advanced by leaps and bounds! More than ten days later, he had already touched the threshold of the extreme of the Blood Moving Realm. During this period, he also occasionally paid attention to the chat group and similar situations. He was making progress, and the other members of the group were also progressing rapidly. Dou Qi Continent. Deep underground, a faint green light enveloped the underground magma. Xiao Yan focused his gaze and saw a green lotus standing gracefully within that green light! "Green Lotus Core Flame? The Heavenly Flame is indeed in this place!" Yao Lao's excited voice rang in Xiao Yan's ear. A few days ago, Xiao Yan had already told Yao Lao about the chat group. Yao Lao initially didn't believe it. Then Xiao Yan directly took out Battle Through the Heavens. Compared to the Heaven-Defying cheat of the chat group, a future script was no longer anything special. So Xiao Yan simply gave Battle Through the Heavens to Yao Lao to read. After Yao Lao finished reading, his entire being was shaken. Battle Through the Heavens recorded everything that had happened since he and Xiao Yan had met. If it only contained past events, it could be explained as Xiao Yan himself having written it. The problem was that it also contained future events. His origin, his disciple Han Feng, all of this was recorded in Battle Through the Heavens. Moreover, all the future events recorded in Battle Through the Heavens had discernible context. This single book directly shattered Yao Lao's worldview. However, no matter what, Yao Lao was someone who had experienced the harsh realities of life. He quickly accepted this fact. So he and Xiao Yan followed the descriptions in the original book to search for the Green Lotus Core Flame. In the original future, the Green Lotus Core Flame was initially taken by Queen Medusa, and Xiao Yan only intercepted it later. But now, they arrived at the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame before Queen Medusa. Now, the Green Lotus Core Flame was still well-placed here. The green flame burned above the flame, emitting a dazzling light. With just one glance, Xiao Yan's mind was completely captivated by it. "The Green Lotus Core Flame is the nineteenth-ranked flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. It is born deep within the earth, going through countless times of tempering, fusion, and compression by underground magma... Ten years to form a forest, a hundred years to take shape, a thousand years to become a lotus!" Yao Lao was also somewhat excited upon seeing the Green Lotus Core Flame. "There is a clear fire deep within the Green Lotus Core Flame's brow, and this fire is the Green Lotus Fire. This fire has unfathomable power and can even trigger volcanic eruptions in areas near volcanoes, causing terrifying destructive power!" "The things I prepared for you can increase your success rate in devouring this Heavenly Flame, but the fusion is a very painful process, so you must be prepared!" Yao Lao instructed Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan nodded with firm eyes, his mind, however, immersed in a Cultivation Technique. That was a Cultivation Technique uploaded by a group member, Fang Han. It was named: Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi. It was a fire-attributed Cultivation Technique from the Great Five Elements Technique. It could transform all fire Qi. The Great Five Elements Technique uploaded by Fang Han was also terrifyingly strong. Although it was not as high in grade as the Original True Understanding and the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, every world possessed the power of the Five Elements! Therefore, no matter which world, this Great Five Elements Technique would not be suppressed. For the group members, the Great Five Elements Technique was highly applicable. Thus, almost all the group members chose to Cultivate one or two chapters from the Great Five Elements Technique. Xiao Yan chose the fire-attributed Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi. This Cultivation Technique claimed to be able to transform all fire Qi. It should help him subdue the Heavenly Flame! "When you are ready, absorb this Green Lotus Core Flame. It's best if you absorb the flame on this green lotus, as the Green Lotus Core Flame is nurtured by this green lotus, and both share the same origin!" "Even if you fail to absorb it, this green lotus can still protect your life!" Yao Lao instructed Xiao Yan, who nodded and then swam towards the green lotus! He carefully avoided the roots of the green lotus and then came to the top of the green lotus! On the small lotus platform in the center of the lotus, a small cluster of green flame burned there. This was the legendary Green Lotus Core Flame. This flame seemed to have life, almost greedily absorbing the violent fire-attributed energy from the surrounding magma. Even a Great Dou Master approaching this Green Lotus Core Flame would instantly be burned to ashes by its terrifying temperature. It was only because Xiao Yan had Yao Lao's Bone Spirit Cold Flame protecting him; otherwise, he would have long been reduced to ash. Looking at this small cluster of green flame, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He immediately swallowed the Snow Lotus Pill prepared for him by Yao Lao, and then approached the Green Lotus Core Flame. Xiao Yan stretched out his hand towards that small cluster of green flame, and a suction force suddenly surged out, pulling the Green Lotus Core Flame into mid-air. After the Green Lotus Core Flame left the green lotus platform, a violent destructive power instantly awakened within it! A terrifying high temperature, hundreds, even thousands of times greater than before, instantly swept across the entire underground area. The volume of the originally small cluster of flame expanded a hundredfold. It was like a domestic puppy suddenly turning into a lion that intimidated all beasts. Under Yao Lao's guidance, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and forced one hand into the Heavenly Flame, wanting to grasp the core flame seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame! That terrifying temperature instantly swept over his entire body. The protective measures he had taken earlier failed one after another in the face of this terrifying temperature... Once all these protective measures failed, with Xiao Yan's current Cultivation, he would probably turn into a pile of ashes within a few seconds in front of this flame. Yao Lao, on the side, was sweating for Xiao Yan. However, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry at all. He endured the pain and began to circulate the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi! The moment the Cultivation Technique was circulated, the originally incredibly violent flames suddenly became docile. Wherever his hand passed, the flames retreated. Xiao Yan easily grasped the flame seed of the Green Lotus Core Flame. Yao Lao was dumbfounded watching from the side. When did refining Heavenly Flames become so simple? Xiao Yan looked at the flame seed in his palm, a surge of excitement in his heart. The green flame seed churned in his hand, and chaotic, multicolored energy surged towards him like a multicolored river of stars. This was the Green Lotus Core Flame refusing to submit to Xiao Yan, so it rioted. Xiao Yan once again circulated the Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi, and all those chaotic energies transformed into fire Qi, enhancing his Cultivation. Xiao Yan only felt his Cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds. He, Xiao Yan, had stood up!
