338: ancient holy city

Even Dou Saints Cultivate it?

Xiao Yan was startled. He had been a bit hesitant, but hearing Yao Tianhuo's words, his eyes instantly blazed with fervor.

"Aren't you skilled in a Fighting Skill that blends flames together? If you Cultivate the Nine Revolutions Flame Manipulation Skill, you can control up to nine types of flames."

Lin Xiu added.

After all, the Furious Buddha Lotus Flame was one of Xiao Yan's signature Fighting Skills, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to see Xiao Yan personally use it in the future.

But without the Flame Mantra and Heavenly Flames, Cultivating this Cultivation Technique could barely make up for the shortcomings.

"Thank you, Senior, I'll choose this one."

Xiao Yan no longer hesitated.

Although he no longer had Heavenly Flames, there were still many powerful Beast Flames on the Dou Qi Continent. If he could master nine types, the nine-colored Fire Lotus's power should at least be comparable to a Heaven Rank Dou Technique.

The Furious Buddha Lotus Flame was one of his trump cards, and currently, it was his strongest Fighting Skill apart from the Emperor Seal Skill given by Xun'er.

"Believe me, Cultivating it will definitely not make you regret it."

Lin Xiu nodded, "Since you've decided on the Nine Revolutions Flame Manipulation Skill, you can stay here. If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can ask Sage Skyfire."

Changing Cultivation Techniques would be somewhat troublesome. Lin Xiu's original intention was not to be disturbed by Xiao Yan, which was why he said these words.

But the next second, he saw Xiao Yan looking at him with gratitude.

"Senior, thank you so much."

Xiao Yan never dreamed that he would have the treatment of being guided by a Dou Saint when changing Cultivation Techniques, and he said excitedly.

Lin Xiu was stunned for a second, then waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

But then he heard Xiao Yan call out to him.

It turned out that Xiao Yan, since he wasn't Cultivating the Flame Mantra anyway, wanted to give Lin Xiu both the Azure Lotus Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame that he possessed.

"Forget it, you are also an Alchemist, and Heavenly Flames are helpful for your alchemy. I don't need the Azure Lotus Core Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame."

Lin Xiu directly refused.

Because he knew that Xiao Yan's Fallen Heart Flame was a semi-finished product that he had personally separated back then.

It couldn't compare to the complete Fallen Heart Flame in his body at all.

As for the Azure Lotus Core Flame, its ranking was too low, and absorbing it wouldn't improve him much.

It was better to do him a favor. If he were to ask for the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame next time, Xiao Yan might even stand on his side and speak up for him.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu saw Yao Tianhuo looking at him resentfully and secretly smiled.

You were the one who talked too much, Sage Skyfire, you can't blame me.

For the next three months, Xiao Yan remained in the Black-Corner Region and the Gama Empire.

The first half-month was mainly spent with Yao Tianhuo, focusing on changing his Cultivation Technique.

During this period, the two Heavenly Flames clashed, causing a small ripple.

But with Yao Tianhuo, a Dou Saint, overseeing it, and Xiao Yan himself being a Dou Venerate, it didn't cause much impact.

Afterward, Xiao Yan began searching for Beast Flames.

One day, Lin Xiu was tending to Yi Nan in the courtyard when his peripheral vision caught a servant leading Xiao Yan in.

"Uncle Xiao."

Yi Nan saw Xiao Yan and trotted over.

"Long time no see, Yi Nan, have you missed Uncle Xiao?"

Xiao Yan squatted down, placed the little Demonic Beast in his arms on the ground, and asked.

"Yes, very much."

Yi Nan's eyes lit up as he looked at the tiger-like Demonic Beast that resembled a small cat.

Xiao Yan teased him for a while, then walked towards the pavilion.

"The courtyard is almost becoming a Demonic Beast's territory."

Lin Xiu joked.

"Senior, he's just a child, let him play."

Xiao Yan also smiled, sat opposite him, and then grew serious, "I'm going back, Senior."

Lin Xiu nodded lightly, not surprised, and pushed a Jade Slip towards Xiao Yan.

He stared at the Jade Slip, his face showing confusion.

"My relationship with the Hall of Souls isn't good now either, but they shouldn't come to provoke me. So, keep this close to you. If you encounter an insurmountable crisis with the Hall of Souls, crush it."

Lin Xiu said solemnly.

In reality, there was a Soul imprint of his inside the Jade Slip, which could vaguely sense the Jade Slip's location.

But Xiao Yan didn't know this.

Therefore, after hearing Lin Xiu's words, Xiao Yan was extremely grateful, expressing his thanks.

Even on his way back to Starfall Pavilion, he believed that this decision to give up the Purification Lotus Demon Flame remnant map and the Bone Chilling Flame was a very worthwhile exchange.

After seeing Xiao Yan off, Lin Xiu pulled Yao Tianhuo out again for sparring.

Another two months passed like this, and Lin Xiu received a notification from the Dean, preparing to go to the Ancient World.

The Ancient World was located in the Eastern Region of Central State, an extremely hidden existence.

Hundreds of forces in that area only knew that there was a boss in this place, but they never had the chance to actually meet him.

To enter the Ancient World normally, everyone had to gather at the Ancient Sacred City first.

"Dean, who are we waiting for?"

After settling into a courtyard, Lin Xiu noticed that several other rooms were specifically left empty.

"I also have a mission this time."

Mang Tianchi sighed, "It's a pity you're not one of the Eight Ancient Clans, otherwise, I'd really want to get you into the Sky Tomb."

"What mission?"

Lin Xiu asked upon hearing this.

"This time, I am leading the people of the Lei Family to the Ancient World, to send them into the Sky Tomb."

Mang Tianchi said.

"You're also from the Lei Family?"

Lin Xiu was taken aback. He indeed had no such impression, mainly because Mang Tianchi didn't appear much in the book.

"Mm."

Mang Tianchi nodded.

Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have found a way to get some of his Bloodline.

Lin Xiu truly hadn't expected that there was a living person from one of the Eight Ancient Clans right beside him, and a powerful one at that.

"Settle down first. There's still some time before the Ancient World opens. If you're bored, you can wander around Ancient Sacred City."

Mang Tianchi said.

Lin Xiu was not someone who liked to wander around, so seeing that there was nothing else to do, he returned to his room.

Over the next few days, the courtyard gradually filled with people and became lively.

Three people from the Lei Family arrived: two young people and an Elder.

The former's strength was around a six-star Dou Venerate, while the Elder was a nine-star Dou Venerate.

During this time, it's unclear what Mang Tianchi said, but the two young people from the Lei Family came to Lin Xiu for guidance.

Lin Xiu wasn't very interested. Half-Saints and Dou Saints were his goals.

But unable to resist the two's persistent pestering, Lin Xiu gave each of them a punch.

In the restaurant.

"Brother Lin, are you really not a descendant of a Dou Emperor Family?"

After a cup of bitter wine, the man with lightning patterns on his forehead looked at the young man opposite him with an expression of disbelief.

He was clearly not very old, and without the blessing of a Dou Emperor Bloodline, how could he Cultivate to such a terrifying Realm?

Was it really talent?

"Lei Hong, Lei Tao, you two have asked several times already."

Lin Xiu showed a hint of helplessness.

"Brother Lin, it's mainly because you're too abnormal, do you understand what I mean? I'm definitely not insulting you."

Lei Tao's face was bitter. To be chosen as a candidate to enter the Sky Tomb this time, his talent and strength within the Family were among the top tier.

Both of them inwardly compared themselves to the younger generation of the other six Ancient Clans.

However, after arriving at Ancient Sacred City, they were reprimanded by Elder Mang Tianchi, and in their frustration, they wanted to prove themselves to Lin Xiu.

Neither of them could even withstand one of Lin Xiu's punches.

Their mentality was almost collapsing.

Lin Xiu chuckled and nodded, his gaze turning to outside the building.

In the middle of the distant, bustling crowd, there was a ring where a fight was taking place.

"Earth Overturning Seal!"

A man roared.

However, his offensive was only just forming when it was interrupted by the black-robed youth opposite him.

The man staggered back a few steps, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Thank you for the concession, Third Commander."

The black-robed youth slightly cupped his hands, his expression calm.

"Yang Hao is truly disgraceful. A dignified Third Commander actually can't even defeat a fallen Xiao Clan descendant."

Following Lin Xiu's gaze, Lei Hong happened to see the moment of defeat and said with some disdain.

"Brother Lin, do you know Xiao Yan?"

Lei Tao's face showed curiosity. From the moment Xiao Yan stepped onto the stage, he had noticed Lin Xiu's gaze occasionally looking towards the ring.
