338. Changes within the body
The battle at Starfall Pavilion was an absolute major event in the entire Central Continent! The battle at night came suddenly, and relatively few people knew about it. However, the three major forces—Wind and Thunder Pavilion, Yellow Springs Pavilion, and Ice River Valley—made no attempt to conceal their attack on Starfall Pavilion, which immediately attracted enormous attention.
Not to mention that many people have personally experienced it, this super-bombshell news began to spread rapidly throughout the Central Continent. Besides these four major powers, there were numerous legends about the Soul Palace, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, which constantly evolved into different versions through word of mouth. Eventually, there was even an absurd version claiming that the Soul Palace, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, the Ice River Valley, the Yellow Springs Pavilion, and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion—six super powers in total—attacked the Starfall Pavilion, and that the Medicine Venerable was resurrected and single-handedly defeated them all. Although the Medicine Venerable had been missing for many years, his title as the continent's number one alchemist was still too resounding.
Among these legends, one name has once again become the focus of discussion in the Central Continent—Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's feat of single-handedly killing two veteran Dou Zun powerhouses of the Central Continent, Lei Zun and Huang Quan Zun, is truly astounding. Moreover, this event has been personally confirmed by many who witnessed the Battle of Xingyun Pavilion, making it impossible for it to be fabricated!
Although Xiao Yan had already made a great appearance at the Four Directions Pavilion Tournament, it was still just a competition among juniors. Although he also fought against Venerable Huang Quan, almost everyone who heard about it believed that it was merely a test of the juniors by the elders, and could not truly represent that Xiao Yan had the strength of a Dou Zun.
But in less than a month, Xiao Yan was already able to kill two Venerables on his own! This terrifying change left those who first heard the news dumbfounded and in disbelief.
Those at the bottom level would naturally find it unbelievable that Xiao Yan had killed the Pavilion Master of the Four Directions Pavilion, but the true elite of the Central Continent were equally bewildered! Because, according to their information, Gu Xun'er of the Ancient Clan and Huo Xuan of the Flame Clan were both protecting a young man named Xiao Yan!
Their shock was no less than that of the lower classes! Ancient Clan and Flame Clan—such simple four words, yet they represented terrifying energy capable of shaking the entire continent!
"What are the Ancient Clan and the Flame Clan doing? Are they preparing for a marriage alliance so that the two clans can join forces?" This was the most common guess in everyone's mind. And some astute individuals even noticed that "Xiao Yan" might not be a simple person at all. Could the "Xiao" in "Xiao Yan" be the same "Xiao" who once influenced the entire Dou Qi Continent?
Amidst this turbulent political landscape, Xiao Yan, at the heart of the matter, has been lying peacefully for four days, yet still shows no sign of waking up. After Huo Yi's treatment, Xiao Yan's body has almost fully recovered, and his internal organs appear to be completely healthy; he simply remains in a deep sleep.
Mu Yaoyin had visited him once and then said that Xiao Yan was fine and there was no need to worry. Although Mu Yaoyin was blind, she could see through the surface of things because she had used the Phoenix Eye Heaven-Gazing Technique many times. Since Mu Yaoyin had spoken, the others naturally felt relieved.
Meanwhile, unnoticed by anyone, within Xiao Yan's body lay a hidden, extremely cunning fire-attribute energy. This was the energy Huo Yi had secretly left behind while searching for Xiao Yan. Because it had no direct effect, those weaker than him would absolutely not be able to detect it.
This energy will only disrupt the Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body when he attempts to break through the Dou Zun bottleneck, causing the massive amount of Dou Qi at the time of breakthrough to go out of control and thus leading to failure. Breaking through the Dou Zun bottleneck is a very complex matter for an individual. No one can sense every single Dou Qi within their body, so naturally they won't notice the seemingly ordinary Dou Qi of the same attribute suddenly appearing within them.
What no one, including Huo Yi, knew was that a seven-colored light, invisible to others, was slowly emerging from within Xiao Yan's limbs and bones. This light seemed to possess sentience, precisely locating the residual energy within Xiao Yan's body.
The seven-colored light then began to envelop this stubborn energy, and as the two came into contact, the seven-colored light slowly began to disappear. Correspondingly, the fire-attribute energy also slowly transformed into pure fire-attribute battle qi. The seven-colored light was consciously helping Xiao Yan purify the malicious energy that Huo Yi had left within him.
This seven-colored energy was naturally the power of fortune that Xiao Yan gained from rescuing the genius soul of the Myriad Beasts Space. At the bottom of the magma, Xiao Yan absorbed two different flames at the same time, and it was this power of fortune that served as a neutralizer, helping Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor survive amidst the numerous mixed energies.
Sensing its own predicament, the flame energy began to circulate within Xiao Yan's meridians, attempting to avoid being directly devoured and annihilated. However, the seven-colored energy wouldn't allow it to succeed. It relentlessly pursued the flame energy, constantly making contact and purifying a portion of it.
Although this energy was only the power of Huo Yi's single strike, it was genuine Dou Sheng-level Dou Qi, incredibly pure! After being purified by the power of destiny, the massive Dou Qi began to naturally merge into Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan's bottleneck at the eight-star Dou Zong level began to loosen naturally, and then shattered. Under these circumstances, Xiao Yan's aura began to break through! Xun'er, sitting to the side, immediately sensed Xiao Yan's change and was overjoyed. If Xiao Yan could break through, his awakening wouldn't be long!
Xun'er then took out several fire-attribute medicinal herbs, hoping to create an environment full of Dou Qi for Xiao Yan to help him break through smoothly. However, before Xun'er could even make a move, she discovered that there was still Dou Qi being expelled from Xiao Yan's body! At this moment, Xun'er was both amused and exasperated as she put away the medicinal herbs and began to protect Xiao Yan from outside the door during his breakthrough.
The commotion immediately caught the attention of everyone in the Starfall Pavilion. However, upon learning that it was Xiao Yan who had broken through, everyone wore an expression of understanding and then went about their business as if nothing had happened. Everyone here was used to the miracles Xiao Yan had created; breaking through to an eight-star Dou Zong was nothing. Even if Xiao Yan woke up tomorrow and broke through to Dou Zun, no one would be too surprised.
Although everyone else had left, Little Fairy Doctor remained. Sensing the movement inside the house, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, looking at the breathtakingly beautiful Xun'er beside her, Little Fairy Doctor asked with a complex expression, "Shall we talk later?"
Xun'er smiled faintly: "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
