Chapter 27

As the异火 (mysterious fire) absorbed and refined the Emperor's Source Qi, faint yellow flames began to emerge within the mysterious fire. This phenomenon did not escape Xiao Yan's notice. Although only a few faint yellow flames appeared, Xiao Yan could clearly feel that these yellow flames contained an extremely terrifying power.

Xiao Yan carefully observed the colorful mysterious fire composed of twenty-two different flames. Each of the twenty-two flames produced a faint yellow flame, and these yellow flames continued to emerge as the Emperor's Source Qi was absorbed, eventually converging into a single strand. The flames exuded an ancient aura, as if calling out for something. As the Emperor's Source Qi continued to be absorbed, the few strands of yellow flames, filled with a powerful aura, slowly swirled within the mysterious fire.

The originally impure Emperor's Source Qi, after passing through the yellow flames within the mysterious fire, instantly became pure and clean, and the refined energy surged into the Dou Qi vortex in Xiao Yan's dantian. Xiao Yan's aura gradually increased.

As Xiao Yan continued to absorb, the surrounding energy began to dissipate, a phenomenon that Xiao Yan also noticed. Xiao Yan knew that this time, it was really about to end.

Time slowly passed.

"Boom—" An extremely powerful energy burst forth from Xiao Yan's body.

The energy that had been present was now completely absorbed by Xiao Yan, and the terrifying power within his body burst out, rippling outward.

He broke through!

The more than a month of cultivation had not been in vain.

"Whoosh—" A breath of white vapor, tinged with a faint yellow, slowly exhaled from Xiao Yan's mouth.

With the end of cultivation, Xiao Yan's tense mind gradually relaxed, and his soul became drowsy, then he withdrew from the cultivation state.

In the spacious cultivation chamber, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and a faint yellow light flashed in his dark pupils.

Xiao Yan slightly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the two people in the cultivation chamber. His dark eyes instantly became deeper and clearer.

"Such powerful strength! This is the middle stage of a one-star Dou Di? And it's even the advanced middle stage?! Indeed, it's not comparable to the initial stage."

At this moment, Xiao Yan had no more objections to Elder Zhan. This result was indeed beyond his expectations, and the several flames within his body showed signs of fusion. If not for Elder Zhan's reminder, he would have missed this excellent cultivation opportunity.

"Thank you..."

Xiao Yan slowly turned around, looked at Elder Zhan in the distance, and bowed in gratitude. At this moment, he felt like the naive young man he was in U坦 City, and Elder Zhan was like Elder Yao back then, guiding and managing everything for him.

Elder Zhan, with his wrinkled face, smiled lightly at Xiao Yan and waved his hand, saying, "It was just a small effort."

"How long have I been cultivating?" Xiao Yan frowned slightly and turned to ask again.

"One and a half months, to be precise, forty-five days..." Elder Zhan replied lightly.

"Such a long time... No wonder..." Xiao Yan muttered, but secretly felt a bit delighted. In just over a month, he had reached the advanced middle stage of a one-star Dou Di. If this were in the outside world, it would have taken hundreds of years of hard cultivation to achieve this.

Looking at the vast cultivation chamber, Xiao Yan couldn't help but purse his lips and murmur to himself, "This... Zichen Spirit Tower truly has boundless mysteries."

If not for the tower, even the initial cultivation of a Dou Di, even after one and a half months, would have only just broken through to the middle stage of a one-star Dou Di. Reaching the advanced middle stage of a one-star Dou Di would have been absolutely impossible. Xiao Yan could clearly feel that the energy absorbed seemed to be refined by some mysterious energy within the tower, greatly enhancing the effect.

Praising silently, he then looked at a light path in the center of the tower, which was clearly the entrance to the second level. Feeling the benefits of the first level, Xiao Yan couldn't help but want to enter the second level, his heart swelling with excitement.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to go, Elder Zhan's voice sounded behind him: "Hey, kid, don't be too greedy. Although you now have the qualifications to enter, you should first deal with the people outside your room. If you stop cultivating, they might rush in, and if they discover the tower, it won't be good for you."

Hearing these words from behind, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. Outside the room? Clearly, Xiao Yan was unaware of the situation outside. Turning to look at the two figures in the distance, one was Elder Zhan, and the other was the recovered Long Yi. Xiao Yan nodded, walked to Long Yi, and smiled at the recovered Long Yi. He turned to thank Elder Zhan, and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly paused, as if thinking of something.
