256: Chapter 256 The Void Compass! Journey to the Great Thousand Worlds?

"P-P-P... Purification Lotus Demon Flame?!"

Xiao Yan gaped in shock.

"The third one on the strange fire ranking list?"

"Yes." Xiao Ting nodded slightly. "As expected of the third-ranked flame on the strange fire ranking list. Although it isn't as strong as the Void Swallowing Flame, it still possesses the strength of a peak Five-Star Dou Sheng."

"Most of its energy has already been devoured by me. This is the remaining one-tenth of its energy and a portion of its intact source. However, Third Brother, your current cultivation is still a bit too weak, so you can't refine it yet."

"I will seal it inside your body to subtly strengthen your physical body and Dou Qi. Its purifying power can help you accelerate your Dou Qi devouring and raise your cultivation."

"Once you break through to the peak Nine-Turn Dou Zun, you can devour and refine it, helping the Burning Technique evolve while simultaneously breaking through to the Dou Sheng level."

As he spoke, Xiao Ting tapped Xiao Yan's forehead, right on his Xiao Clan clan tattoo, sealing the one-tenth of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame inside.

Xiao Yan mastered multiple strange fires, so utilizing his modified Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations to activate the clan tattoo was naturally not a problem.

"Brother Ting..."

Feeling the powerful strange fire that had suddenly appeared within his clan tattoo, Xiao Yan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was starting to believe some people's speculations about Xiao Ting—that he was likely the reincarnation of a Dou Di.

Otherwise, how could he, not even twenty years old, possess the strength to suppress and refine the peak Five-Star Dou Sheng Purification Lotus Demon Flame?!

"Third Brother, there's no need to be polite with me, nor is there any need for sentimental words." Xiao Ting said with a smile, "Continue your secluded cultivation. I have some matters to attend to in the Ancient Clan now. I hope the next time we meet, your strength will have broken through to the Dou Sheng level."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ting's figure vanished in an instant.

Xiao Yan: "..."

Coming and going without a trace.

This younger brother of his was just a tiny bit too strong.

On the other side, Xiao Ting wrote today's itinerary into his Diary while rushing toward the Ancient Clan.

It didn't take long for him to reach his destination. However, instead of directly barging into the Ancient World, he sent a message to Xun'er and Gu Yuan.

"Hmm?"

While waiting, Xiao Ting suddenly received a notification from his Diary.

[Plane Blessing]: One small-scale infusion of worldly energy

[Great Dao Blessing]: void compass (Saint-Rank Peerless Sacred Object. Activated by a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, it can displace a continent across endless space, and allows free teleportation within the range of the Great Thousand World)

"The void compass, a Saint-Rank Peerless Sacred Object?!" Xiao Ting's breath hitched.

Aside from the firmament tablet and the Primal Dharma Body, a Saint-Rank Peerless Sacred Object was the most powerful magical treasure and divine object in the Great Thousand World.

Not to mention that the void compass was a space-type magical treasure, making it even rarer and more powerful.

"However, with my current strength, I probably can't unleash much of the void compass's power, right?"

With a thought, Xiao Ting materialized the void compass in his soul space.

Since it was a reward from the journal copy, the void compass had already acknowledged him as its master.

As a flood of information surfaced, his heart began to race.

Admittedly, he couldn't even unleash one-billionth of the void compass's power right now, but a Saint-Rank Peerless Sacred Object was a Saint-Rank Peerless Sacred Object—it was extraordinary.

With his current strength as a half-step Six-Star Dou Sheng, activating it with all his might would be enough to teleport him to the nearest continent in the Great Thousand World.

In other words, he could head to the Great Thousand World right now without needing someone to break through to Dou Di and open a planar passage.

This also meant he could switch to cultivating the Great Thousand Law right now.

In addition, the void compass would also protect him.

Even if a Heavenly Supreme attacked him, as long as their strength had not reached the Saint-Rank, the void compass would carry him through a maximum-distance teleportation to evade the attack.

In other words, as long as he didn't face a Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, he was inherently invincible.

Furthermore, the void compass also increased his affinity with the void. If he were to travel through the Void Planar Ocean, he could avoid ninety-nine percent of the risks.

"With this step, I can be considered invincible in a different way, right?!" Xiao Ting's heart surged with excitement.

Just then, Gu Yuan's voice sounded in his ear, "Nephew, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Ting immediately reined in his emotions, turned to look at Gu Yuan, and cupped his hands in greeting. "Uncle, I was thinking about how to ask for your help in a moment."

"Help with what?" Gu Yuan asked with a smile.

He couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Ting's cultivation had actually reached the half-step Six-Star Dou Sheng level.

Having someone with such terrifying talent as his future son-in-law was truly delightful.

It was truly pleasing.

"I would like to ask Uncle to enter the Heavenly Tomb with me and help me deal with the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb." Xiao Ting spoke bluntly.

If it were just to enter the Heavenly Tomb to obtain the top-tier resources Xiao Xuan had prepared for the younger generation of the Xiao Family, he could have entered by himself using Flying Body Tracing.

His true goal was the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb, intending to devour its source to help his soul break through to the emperor realm.

However, to obtain the source of the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan would need to burn his own soul.

If Gu Yuan was willing to help, and perhaps with Zhu Kun added as well, there would be no need for Xiao Xuan to make a sacrifice.

"Deal with the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb?" Gu Yuan frowned slightly. "What do you want to do?"

"I want to devour the source of the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb to break through to the Emperor Realm Soul." Xiao Ting continued to speak the truth.

Gu Yuan was inwardly startled.

An Emperor Realm Soul itself possessed combat power not inferior to a Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

Combined with one's own cultivation, one would have the power to fight even against an Eight Star Dou Sheng.

If Xiao Ting could possess an Emperor Realm Soul...

"Are you sure this is feasible?" Gu Yuan confirmed.

"Of course." Xiao Ting nodded gently. "Ancestor Xiao Xuan has preserved a portion of our Xiao Clan's pure Dou Di Bloodline in the Heavenly Tomb. He can help me with this matter."

Since it actually involved Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan believed him immediately.

He nodded without hesitation. "No problem, I will help you."

"I won't let Uncle act for nothing either." Xiao Ting raised his hand and released one-tenth of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame. "I will give this portion of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame to Xun'er. Consider it Uncle's fee for assisting me, how about it?"

Gu Yuan: !!!

Gu Yuan was already shocked to the point of numbness.

Even if Xiao Ting broke through to Dou Di in the next second, he felt there would be no need to make a fuss about it.

"With this Purification Lotus Demon Flame, those old fellows in the Council of Elders will have nothing to say."

Gu Yuan raised his hand to create a spatial passage and brought Xiao Ting into the Ancient World.

The two immediately headed to the Ancient Clan's Assembly Hall. Gu Yuan gathered the elders to discuss, stating that Xiao Ting wanted to enter the Heavenly Tomb.

As expected, some elders objected, but after learning that Xiao Ting was willing to hand over the Purification Lotus Demon Flame to the Ancient Clan, they all shut their mouths.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan decided to give this Purification Lotus Demon Flame to Xun'er to devour.

It was essentially Xiao Ting moving it from his left hand to his right hand.

"Xun'er, I'll go get busy first."

"You don't need to rush to devour it. Wait until your strength has increased."

After sealing the Purification Lotus Demon Flame inside Xun'er's body, Xiao Ting and Gu Yuan arrived at a certain void in the Ancient World.

Gu Yuan mobilized the Dou Qi in his body, transforming it into a giant hand to forcefully tear open the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Ting immediately slipped inside and said, "Uncle, I'll go scout the way first."

"Once I've greeted Ancestor Xiao Xuan, I'll come out to find you."
