"Big Sister Xun Er, I didn't intend to snatch it from you." Zi Yan, thinking that Xun Er was unhappy, immediately tried to explain.
"Don't be nervous." Xun Er covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled softly, then said with a serious expression. "I don't care about this evaluation at all. Moreover, judging from what Brother Xiao Ting wrote, in every aspect, I think you are more suitable for this status than me."
In terms of family background, the ancient clan is not as superior as the Ancient Void Dragon clan.
In terms of bloodline talent, Zi Yan's Ancient Void Dragon King bloodline is not inferior to this ancient clan's Dou God-level bloodline.
In terms of the greatest supporter, Zhu Kun holds a slight advantage over Gu Yuan. He will also become a doting father who spoils Zi Yan without a second thought.
Completely incomparable!
"It's good that you're not angry. Such empty fame doesn't matter anyway." Zi Yan said while swinging her braids. "Having that kind of background is much better. In the future, when I become stronger than you, I can protect you."
The Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin felt the sincerity in her words and looked at her with smiles in their eyes.
As the saying goes, "No conflict, no friendship." This meeting will be a good opportunity to become friends in the future.
…
[As the princess of the Ancient Void Dragon clan, she was born with three talents: overwhelming strange strength, spiritual perception, and space control ability.]
[For Ancient Void Dragons, strength and space control are standard features, but Zi Yan's are even more powerful. Her unique talent is sensitivity to spiritual objects — a special affinity with heaven and earth spiritual objects from birth.]
[By making good use of Zi Yan's talent, I can maximize my own alchemy ability and refine precious spiritual Pills.]
[If Zi Yan obtains the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit in the future, consumes and refines it, she will become a Dragon Phoenix at the fifth stage of Dou Saint.]
All women: !!
Zi Yan is the true fated protagonist of the Battle Qi Continent!
…
"As expected!" Feng Qing Er's expression became extremely gloomy.
Sensing that Xiao Ting was treating Zi Yan specially and clearly wanted to become friends with her, she began to have this concern.
Now that Xiao Ting knows the location of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, will he consider giving it to Zi Yan in the future?
Now that her prediction has come true, she is very indignant.
After learning of the existence of the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, she thought she could make it her own.
She had seriously considered that if Xiao Ting gave her the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, she wouldn't mind becoming one of his Dao companions.
But before anything was finalized, the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit had already become far out of her reach!
"What if I compete with Zi Yan for his favor with all my strength?!" Feng Qing Er unconsciously clenched her fist and began calculating in her mind.
Putting other things aside, that was the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit.
If she could successfully consume and refine that spiritual herb, she could transform into a Dragon Phoenix that surpasses both the Ancient Heaven Phoenix and the Ancient Void Dragon.
With this bloodline talent, even if she went to the Great Thousand World in the future, she might hold a high position and have the opportunity to become the Heavenly Emperor mentioned in Xiao Ting's Journal!
After successful refinement, one would obtain the power of a five-star Dou Saint, on par with the leader of the Heaven Demon Phoenix clan. However, at the same level, the Dragon Phoenix would definitely defeat the Heaven Demon Phoenix.
Just as Feng Qing Er was trying to convince herself, reality slapped her in the face.
…
[The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was born from the fusion of the bloodlines of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heaven Phoenix after they perished together. Only those who inherit the bloodlines of both species can refine it. Those who successfully refine it can evolve into a Dragon Phoenix possessing the abilities of both species. In history, this fruit has only appeared six times.
The first time it appeared, it was absorbed by the Ancient Heaven Phoenix, suppressing the Ancient Void Dragon clan for hundreds of years. Later, the Ancient Void Dragon itself also successfully refined it and turned the tables.]
[The third successful example was Zi Yan, who succeeded with the help of Heavenly Flame. Otherwise, she would have lost her life.]
[Refining the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit with the bloodline of the Primordial Ancient Void Dragon King is fraught with danger.]
[Sending members of the Heaven Phoenix clan to refine it would almost certainly result in death.]
[This opportunity was precisely prepared for Zi Yan.]
…
Feng Qing Er: "..."
If there's no hope of survival, it's better to give up.
If one can reach the Dou Saint level, even if it means death, it's worth betting everything.
However, she possesses a copy of the Journal, which allows her to receive Plane's Blessing. It will only be a matter of time before her bloodline returns to its ancestral form and she transforms into an Ancient Heaven Phoenix.
She has a bright future ahead. There's no need to risk her life.
"As Xiao Ting said, this is a great opportunity for Zi Yan." Feng Qing Er shook off all the distracting thoughts in her head.
The most urgent task is to contact clan members to investigate the disappearance of the eighth-rank clan member in the Northwest Continent.
The clan strictly manages bloodlines and forbids the outflow of Heaven Demon Phoenix essence blood. Even dead Heaven Demon Phoenixes must be buried in the clan's forbidden grounds.
With relevant information, it would make perfect sense for her to go to the Black Corner Region in the Northwest Continent.
…
Meanwhile, inside Jia Nan Academy, at the lowest level of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower...
Guided by Su Qian, Xiao Ting arrived at this place.
It was a very spacious area with no people in sight, giving a very empty impression.
It was more spacious than any floor above, with no special training rooms set up.
In the center, there was a huge opening about 3 meters wide, and directly opposite it, several meters above, there was another equally large opening.
Xiao Ting followed closely behind Su Qian and stopped about 10 feet from the central black hole. At that moment, he clearly felt a strange temperature appearing and enveloping his entire body, making his inner Battle Qi more active.
"Let's do it here!"
Su Qian pointed to a place where an exquisite jade table was placed, with chairs around it.
Xiao Ting sat in the seat closest to the cave entrance and immediately felt a faint coolness seeping into his body from below, isolated from the scorching heat of the outside world.
"This jade pedestal was built in the old inner courtyard according to the Fallen Venerable's techniques to seal the core of the Fallen Heart Flame."
While introducing it to Xiao Ting, Su Qian quickly formed hand seals with both hands.
His Battle Qi surged out, and the moment it touched some force, an illusory energy ripple appeared in front of Xiao Ting.
Soon, a pale white light shield the size of a human head floated up from the dark cave and flew in front of Xiao Ting as Su Qian moved.
"This contains the original heart flame of the Fallen Heart Flame."
Su Qian casually removed the light shield, and a flame floated up inside.
"This item is very difficult to obtain. Every year, the inner courtyard invests enormous manpower and resources to cultivate it 3 to 4 times."
"This item isn't very useful for those above the Dou King realm, but it's extremely valuable for practitioners below the Dou King realm. It can pave the way to the Dou King realm, but the risk of failure is also great. Since you're a Dou King expert, using this will only increase your training speed."
"At your training level, training on the upper floors of the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower no longer makes sense."
Xiao Ting nodded to show he understood. He already knew this information.
"The maximum training period here is 6 months. You can leave at any time."
After giving a few more instructions, Su Qian handed a specially crafted token to Xiao Ting and left.
"Alright, for the time being, let's focus on training."
"I can't let Xun Er and the others catch up to my training progress."
"Become a Dou God within 10 years — this is already the goal we've set, and it must be achieved."
Xiao Ting entered seclusion, and this training continued for a full 3 months.
…
In the mountain range of the Black Corner Region, an extremely compressed dazzling sword light pierced through the sky, shaking the space.
This powerful and astonishing technique was easily blocked by an energy shield made of gold and silver.
Two old men wearing gold and silver robes respectively, who looked exactly alike, spoke simultaneously.
"Yun Yun, hand over that item. Otherwise, today next year will be your death anniversary."
Hearing the words of the two elders, Yun Yun gripped her long sword tightly and said coldly, "You two have both reached the peak of the 9-star Dou Emperor realm, and I am the same. Even with two of you, you can't keep me here."
Hearing this, the Old Man Silver and Old Man Gold said in unison, "If you're so stubborn, then it's our fault for bullying the weak!"
