Everyone in the hall was startled as they watched everything that had happened. Zhou Tai, who was still in an overbearing manner a moment ago, was actually sent flying by Xiao Yan with a single palm strike …
A dignified advanced seven star Half Martial Emperor expert was actually sent flying by a single palm strike from a three star Half Martial Emperor. If news of this were to spread, Zhou Tai's reputation as a high class Half Martial Emperor would likely become a joke.
However, while the other people in the hall were still shocked by Xiao Yan's palm strike, Zhou Tai suddenly turned his head around. His pair of deep eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan. The shock deep within his eyes was indescribable.
Although Zhou Tai's strength was merely that of a seven star Ban Di, his alchemist skills had already stepped into the third rank. The level that he had come into contact with was that of a genuine elite Dou Di. Hence, he was clearly aware of some things that an ordinary person did not know …
When Xiao Yan's afterimage disappeared, Zhou Tai clearly sensed that there was an undetectable energy swiftly gathering in the space behind him. It was also this energy that allowed Xiao Yan to quietly appear behind him …
According to his knowledge, that mysterious energy was an extremely pure form of Spatial Energy!
When he looked at this moment, he saw that under the encirclement of Zhou Tai's frightening Spiritual Strength, a layer of faint Spatial Energy was surrounding Xiao Yan's body, protecting him within it. The natural energy within this space was also slowly being devoured …
Xiao Yan's strength was also slowly increasing as it was devoured bit by bit. Although it was slow, Zhou Tai discovered that at the same time that Xiao Yan's strength was increasing, the Spatial Energy that was protecting Xiao Yan was also increasing at an extremely slow pace. It was likely that this Spatial Energy would become a great help to Xiao Yan in the future.
However, compared to this, what caused Zhou Tai's expression to change the most was Xiao Yan's control over the Spatial Energy. That kind of control was not purely based on external control. Instead, it was a perfect control from the inside out. Although Xiao Yan's current strength was insufficient and it was quite difficult to control it, if he was able to use this unexpected move in a battle, it might become the key to overturning the entire battle situation.
"This Spatial Energy has actually already merged into his body. Then, this layer of protective shield that he emitted, doesn't that mean … this … could it be that he has already comprehended … the aura of the Void Dao?!"
No matter who it was, the Void Dao was one of the most terrifying forces in the world. It was the true power of the world!
If an ordinary Half-step Emperor could control the world for his own use, then an expert who had comprehended the Void Dao could be said to be the ruler of the world!
All experts that had comprehended the Grand Dao of Void were capable of obliterating the heavens and the earth with a single thought. So long as they thought about it, then no matter what the heavens and the earth were, everything would be obliterated with a single thought and transformed into chaotic nothingness!
From this, it could be seen just how terrifying the Great Dao Energy was. At that time, even the world would be under one's control, and one would be able to do as one pleased. Only then would one be able to be called a true miracle of the world!
Of course, no matter what, everything in this world depended on strength. It wasn't impossible to destroy the Grand Dao. As long as one possessed sufficient strength, not to mention the energy of the Grand Dao, even the might of the heavens would be able to withstand it!
…
Zhou Tai's eyes narrowed slightly. His deep gaze was both fierce and overbearing, causing others to feel fear in their hearts.
However, at this moment, his gaze was staring at Xiao Yan as if he wanted to use all his strength to see through him completely. However, in the end, he was still unable to see through him.
"Hmph! Kid, you have some ability. You barely pass. However, remember that my Alchemist Association does not accept mediocre people. If you lose in this Alchemist Grand Meeting, I will definitely not let you off easily!"
Xiao Yan's impeccable defense caused Zhou Tai to feel rather helpless in his heart. He curled his lips, thought for a moment, and then snorted softly and spoke unyieldingly.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan laughed softly when he heard this. He similarly curled his lips and then raised his eyes to look at Zhou Tai and smiled.
"If you don't accept mediocre people, then why did you accept a disloyal and unjust person like Wei Yi? Wouldn't you be shooting yourself in the foot?"
"Cough cough …"
The tea that he had yet to swallow was instantly spat out. The lustrous jade cup in Zhou Tai's hand also exploded because of the excitement in his heart. Clearly, he was greatly agitated by Xiao Yan's words.
On the other side, Gu Li's old face instantly turned red from Xiao Yan's words. If one wanted to talk about this matter with Wei Yi, one could only blame him. Who asked him to give the position of the chief alchemist to Wei Yi without investigating.
"Cough cough, alright, let's leave it at that. Today, brother Yan Xiao is the new chief alchemist. He must be tired. Everyone still has their own matters to attend to. Let's leave!"
Finally, this somewhat awkward deadlock was broken by Gu Li. Gu Li was indeed worthy of the position of chairman. With a single sentence, all the elders present withdrew one after another.
After which, Gu Li turned his gaze towards Xiao Yan and said with a smile,
"Elder Yan Xiao, you have also taken action quite a bit today. In addition to the exhaustion from earlier, it is likely that you are also a little tired. It is also not easy for the three of us to gather together …"
Before Gu Li's words sounded, Xiao Yan clearly understood the meaning within. He smiled. Xiao Yan's expression involuntarily revealed a trace of exhaustion. After which, he did not say anything else. His body moved and he left the Alchemist Association. However, he did not head in the direction of the inn. Instead, he flew towards the west of the Savage Ancient City.
At the same time that Xiao Yan left the Alchemist Association, a human figure whose entire body was wrapped in a large black robe on a certain pavilion emitted a cold laugh and swiftly followed.
…
A moment later, Xiao Yan's figure slowly landed in front of a dilapidated house. A respectful expression involuntarily flashed onto his originally cold face at this moment.
This place was surprisingly the place where Old Luo lived in seclusion. As usual, this place was incomparably quiet. Of course, Li Kang's contribution was also largely due to this.
If it was not because Old Luo had acted to demonstrate his strength back then, it was likely that there would be people seeking Old Luo's help even though it was already close to midnight.
…
At this moment, Xiao Yan's heart was quite excited. Although the waves of weakness that were transmitted from his body caused him to feel a little giddy, the one month that he had bitterly waited in his heart had finally passed. The seriously injured Heavy Xuan Ruler could finally see the light of day again today!
Xiao Yan forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. He slowly walked to the front of the small courtyard and once again looked at the door that had given him hope one month ago. He involuntarily smiled and stepped through the door.
Everything was still the same as it had been one month ago after entering the small courtyard. The huge pit that had been smashed by an eight star Dou Sheng back then had completely disappeared. It was as though this matter had never happened.
Xiao Yan remained unmoved in the face of this. Old Luo's strength caused even Gu You to feel incomparably grave. This little trick was not surprising.
When one's cultivation had reached the level of a true expert, only then would one understand that this world was merely a small piece of land. Everything in the world was just like that. Many things that could be considered as peerless treasures in the eyes of ordinary people could be easily obtained in their hands.
From this, one could tell that the current level that Xiao Yan had reached was merely so …
The reason why Old Luo was still pursuing the path of weapon refinement was merely because of his personal interest. Otherwise, given his strength, it was likely that he would be able to easily obtain most of the refining materials in the world.
… …
Xiao Yan stood respectfully in the small courtyard. Immediately, he bowed toward the Inner Academy and said, "Brother Xiao Yan, I have been waiting for a long time.
"Old Luo, this little one, Yan Xiao, has come to retrieve this junior's Heavy Xuan Ruler!"
His voice sounded, but Old Luo's voice did not appear from within the inner courtyard. This caused Xiao Yan to involuntarily frown. His heart began to feel a little worried.
However, just as he was frowning, a somewhat impatient old voice was emitted from the Inner Academy in a soft and gentle manner.
"It is fine that you have come. Why is there a need for so many formalities? Come in."
Xiao Yan involuntarily muttered in his heart upon hearing these words. Who within this savage ancient city did not know about Old Luo's temper? Without his permission, even those eight star Ban Emperors, who were usually high and mighty, would not dare to step into this inner courtyard of his. How would Xiao Yan, who was only a three star Ban Emperor, dare to randomly enter this inner courtyard?
Although Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little worried in his heart, the worry in his heart was, at the very least, unnecessary. In this way, Xiao Yan was relieved. Moreover, he was able to step into the only place in this savage ancient city that no one could enter. Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little excited in his heart.
Xiao Yan stepped into the inner courtyard. Indeed, compared to the front courtyard, this place was the pinnacle of the human world. The two courtyards that were next to each other could be said to be two different worlds. However, this was indeed the case.
The instant he stepped into this inner courtyard, Xiao Yan instantly felt an extremely overbearing power sweep past his body. Immediately, all of Xiao Yan's secrets were exposed under that frightening power.
When that power swept past Xiao Yan's body, Xiao Yan's heart also instantly rose to his throat.
He could clearly sense that the investigation this time around was not an ordinary investigation of aura. That feeling was as though he was being peeled off layer by layer. Even the appearance of his bones was completely exposed to the other party's eyes.
Fortunately, that was all. With Gu You, who could also be called an ancient antique, within his body, even if Old Luo was incomparably powerful, it would be a little too wishful thinking for him to break through Gu You's protective aura.
However, compared to the relief in Xiao Yan's heart, Old Luo's gently shut eyes in front of a small wooden house deep within the inner courtyard suddenly opened at this moment.
Although he did not know the reason why he was unable to discover anything during his earlier probing, this point also proved that Xiao Yan's secret had already been completely investigated by him.
At this moment, however, his mind was not on this matter. Instead, it was on the secret that Xiao Yan had buried deep within his body!
At that moment earlier, he had clearly seen that all of the bones within Xiao Yan's body were purple-gold in color. Moreover, under the purple-gold light, some mysterious lines had vaguely appeared on the bones within Xiao Yan's body. These mysterious lines had connected all of Xiao Yan's bones together.
This point caused one to feel that these bones were incomparably mysterious.
This was the thing that caused Old Luo to feel the most surprised.
Everyone knew that the bones within the body of a successful practitioner would undergo a transformation. It was just like the Dou Sheng arm that Xiao Yan had obtained back then. It was crystal clear.
The formation of this point was akin to removing all of the impurities within a practitioner's body. It would extract the essence and remove the impurities.
This was even more so for an ordinary Ban Di.
Today, however, Xiao Yan's bones were different from an ordinary person's bones. Although they appeared similarly lustrous and crystal clear, this strange purple-gold light was something that one could not understand.
An ordinary person would become more lustrous the more they trained. Why did it become like this when it came to Xiao Yan?
However, after Old Luo's careful investigation, he finally saw that the mysterious lines on Xiao Yan's bones seemed to have faintly pieced together to form a picture. After seeing the thing on the picture, Old Luo's originally uncertain face finally became completely shocked at this moment.
The picture that had been pieced together was actually … actually a real purple-gold divine dragon!
While Old Luo was looking at it, the purple-gold divine dragon on the picture also seemed to have sensed Old Luo's gaze. The picture, which originally appeared to be a dead object, instantly began to move on the spot at this moment. It widened its large mouth and emitted a soundless dragon roar toward Old Luo …
Although the dragon roar did not enter the ears of others, Old Luo could clearly hear it. Immediately, Old Luo's mind, which was surrounding Xiao Yan, seemed to have been beaten back to its original state as it instantly withdrew …
At the same time that the mysterious strength withdrew in an instant, Xiao Yan had also stepped into the Inner Academy. However, he was unaware that the true ultimate expert deep within the Inner Academy had traces of blood seeping out from Shuang 'er's hands at this moment. Her originally sleek red face had also turned pale at that instant …
… …
However, the instant that the soundless dragon roar was emitted, an old man wearing a purple-gold robe in a mysterious large hall tens of thousands of kilometers away appeared to have sensed something at this moment. He suddenly opened both of his eyes.
A pair of old eyes, which were filled with the vicissitudes of life, also carried a rich surprise at this moment. He instantly looked towards the border of the continent, the south-western region …
"That place seems to be … the south-western region of the continent. However, the dragon roar just now, could it be … hiss … it doesn't seem like it … but … ugh … forget it. Since you have already sensed it, my clan will also send people to search for it …"
After his voice sounded, the figure of this old man also slowly disappeared from this large hall …
Correspondingly, in the other two mysterious realms, two old men, who were tens of thousands of kilometers apart, also used strange gazes to look in the direction where Xiao Yan was currently located.
After the former sensed the dragon roar, the expression on his face involuntarily became a little ugly. However, in the end, he helplessly shook his head and gave up on the thought in his heart …
As for the latter, after frowning and pondering for a moment, he finally shook his head. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from his original spot …
… …
However, this was not the end.
A long while after this dragon roar was emitted, in a similarly mysterious purple-gold realm, a gentle and beautiful figure was seated cross-legged in the empty space in an even more distant place that had already surpassed the restrictions of the continent …
Around her, wisps of purple-gold dragon aura also transformed into a real dragon as she inhaled and exhaled, surging into this woman's body …
The woman was wearing purple-gold skintight clothes. There were also grain-sized purple-gold dragon scales on it, protecting her entire body under these dragon scales.
Although these dragon scales appeared ordinary, there was an extremely mysterious and vast strength on them. It was this strength that perfectly protected the woman.
The strength of that strength was likely something that even the full force attack of a nine star Dou Sheng would be nothing in front of it. From this, one could tell just how frightening the defensive strength of these dragon scales was!
At this moment, under the contrast of the tight-fitting clothes, the woman's beautiful figure was fully displayed.
Her smooth purple-gold hair was scattered all the way to her waist. It caused one's eyes to inadvertently notice her narrow waist that could not even be hugged …
Above her waist, the purple-gold skintight clothes completely displayed the perfect curves of the woman's stunning figure. This woman was clearly an absolute beauty that could cause the downfall of a country!
However, a long while after the dragon roar was emitted, the gentle and beautiful body of the lady, who was in the midst of training, suddenly trembled. Immediately, her pair of intelligent pretty eyes instantly looked towards a certain direction in the empty space. The expression on her face was filled with worry …
However, in the end, the woman did not do anything unnecessary. At this moment, if she really wanted to help that person, she could only work hard in her training …
Only by doing so would she be able to help him to the best of her ability. Otherwise, regardless of how worried she was, it would all be in vain …
The woman ceased hesitating after this thought flashed across her heart. She tried her best to calm the emotions in her heart, allowing herself to quickly enter her training and work even harder to raise her strength …
