"Bang!"
The smoke and dust within the mountain cave had completely scattered. Two figures were standing opposite each other on a platform that was not considered very large. They stood on both ends of the platform. An enormous ice dragon was crawling behind the white-colored figure in front of it. The smoke and dust that permeated the sky automatically scattered a couple of feet in front of the old man, allowing one to clearly see his face. That person was wearing a plain white long robe. Both of his hands were placed behind his back. His icy-blue long hair was draped over his shoulders. His face had some traces of the vicissitudes of life. At a glance, he did not appear any different from an ordinary old man. However, the smile that was revealed on the corner of his mouth caused one to feel a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
At this moment, the corner of this old man's mouth contained a smile and a trace of helplessness as he looked at the shocked face of Xiao Yan opposite him.
Xiao Yan looked at this somewhat familiar old man. His usually calm face was filled with a rich shock at this moment. This was because the person who was currently standing opposite of Xiao Yan was none other than the enormous stone statue, the Tou She Ancient God!
"Hey! Brat, are you planning to destroy this old man's cave dwelling? " That old man's eyes carried some mockery as he looked at Xiao Yan and spoke. However, Xiao Yan was stunned after hearing these words. Cave dwelling? Did that not mean that this' Heavenly Flame 'spirit did not seal itself. Instead, it was in a retreat to train. In other words, not only had he destroyed the other party's home, he had also disturbed the other party's retreat.
Xiao Yan was stunned. He had fought for a long time before barging into this place. However, in the end, this place was actually the other party's retreat. When he thought about the restriction from before, wasn't it used to chase away and deter those with weak strength? Xiao Yan's face twitched when he thought of this. In this way, everything that he had done had become a disturbance to the other party's retreat? Then, wouldn't the 'Heavenly Flame' that he was about to obtain become a joke?
As everyone knew, it was most taboo to disturb a practitioner when they were in a retreat. This was because if the person in retreat was in the midst of a breakthrough and someone outside suddenly interrupted the breakthrough of the person in retreat, then the offense was equivalent to a life and death grudge. This was because once the breakthrough was interrupted, the mottled and chaotic natural energy within the practitioner's body would not be able to be suppressed and refined. It would rampage within the practitioner's body, destroying the practitioner's channels and causing the Dou Qi within the practitioner's body to go berserk and there was the danger of an explosion. If this kind of thing happened, the practitioner's future would be destroyed and his cultivation would stagnate.
At this moment, it was clear that Xiao Yan had already violated the rules of the continent. However, it was fine if he had violated it. However, looking at this seemingly amiable looking old man in front of him, Xiao Yan admitted that if the two of them were to face each other, he might not be able to receive even one attack from the other party. Xiao Yan's expression became increasingly solemn. However, the huge dragon behind the old man roared softly a few times for some unknown reason. When the plain-clothed old man heard this, he immediately turned his head around and glared fiercely at the huge dragon. The huge dragon hurriedly shut its mouth and no longer made any noise. However, from its pair of huge dragon eyes, one could sense that it was watching a joke. This caused Xiao Yan to feel a little strange.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of something. He abruptly raised his head towards the plain-clothed old man. He stared at the old man and opened his mouth to speak, "You are an Emperor tier medicinal pill right? Otherwise, why would you have the appearance of the Tou She Ancient God? You should also be a medicinal pill refined by the Tou She Ancient God right? "
"Puff!"
The plain-clothed old man, who had originally taken out a bottle of wine and was drinking, suddenly spat out a mouthful of wine that he had yet to swallow. The wind blew and it landed on the old man's wrinkled old face. The old man ignored the wine that landed on his face. His face was filled with fury as he looked at Xiao Yan. The huge dragon behind him opened its dragon mouth and trembled intensely. It was short of letting out an earth-shaking dragon roar. Its pair of huge dragon eyes were filled with tears that were being held back.
Xiao Yan also seemed to have realized that he had said something wrong. However, there was no way to salvage the situation. Hence, he could only quietly stand in the same spot and wait for the plain-clothed old man's reply.
A moment later, the old man finally reacted. He curled his lips and said to Xiao Yan, "Little brat, an Emperor tier embryonic pill is able to leave such a deep impression on you. You are really a poor brat who has never seen the world. Alright, follow me. This old man will personally tell you who I am and let you have some knowledge. Otherwise, heh! On this continent, your eyesight is only passable in the outer region. However, once you reach the central region of the continent, tsk … "
The plain-clothed old man emitted waves of laughter as he spoke. Xiao Yan continued to curl his lips when he heard this. However, at the same time, he became even more curious about this old man. This plain-clothed old man clearly knew him very well. It seemed that there were still many things about him that he did not know.
Xiao Yan followed the plain-clothed old man into the large hall that the old man had previously been in. Xiao Yan saw three words written in flamboyant calligraphy on the signboard of the large hall:
"Serene Bone Palace"
Xiao Yan glanced at it briefly before continuing to follow the plain-clothed old man into the large hall.
After entering the large hall, Xiao Yan found that it was no different from some of the ordinary discussion halls. The only difference was that there were only two chairs and a prayer mat in the entire large hall. Xiao Yan was unable to figure out just what use they had, so he simply skipped over them.
The plain-clothed old man gestured for Xiao Yan to sit on one of the chairs. The chairs were placed together and there was a table between them. Xiao Yan directly sat on the chair and did not say anything. He quietly sat on the chair. Xiao Yan knew that he would be able to find out the doubts in his heart soon.
Sure enough, the plain-clothed old man also sat down after Xiao Yan sat down. He waved his sleeve and a tea set appeared. It was accompanied by a steaming hot mist that scattered within the large hall.
"This old man is called Gu You. My original form is the Bone Chilling Flame. It is a Heavenly Flame that can incinerate everything in the world. I have followed the Tou She Ancient God here in the past and have been waiting here in accordance with the Tou She Ancient God's orders!"
Gu You's tone was filled with a sense of disdain when he spoke. His old face was filled with an arrogant expression. However, Xiao Yan could hear the hidden meaning in his words. Gu You was actually waiting for someone!
Since Gu You had spoken in front of Xiao Yan, it was likely that he was waiting for someone. Xiao Yan's heart suddenly became anxious when he thought of this. He did not know why, but Xiao Yan had a special feeling. He needed strength, a very powerful strength. This was also the reason why Xiao Yan continued to advance towards the large mountain. He hesitated for a moment before asking Gu You.
"I think I can interpret what you just said to mean that you're waiting for someone. If you're waiting for someone, then that person is me, right?"
Gu You nodded and continued, "My mission is to help you obtain all the contents of your cultivation method and help you cultivate it to the great success stage."
Xiao Yan was originally engrossed in listening, but he suddenly heard the complete content of his Qi Method. Xiao Yan immediately lifted his head when he heard this. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared intently at the plain-clothed old man in front of him.
Xiao Yan naturally understood the words of the plain-clothed old man. The Qi Method that the plain-clothed old man spoke of was naturally the Qi Method that Xiao Yan practiced: Flame Mantra.
Xiao Yan's throat made a gulping sound as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. His eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the plain-clothed old man. His entire body trembled because of his excitement. It was a long while later before Xiao Yan opened his mouth and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Are you saying that there is a second part to the Flame Mantra? The Flame Mantra can be further strengthened? "
The plain-clothed old man heard Xiao Yan's hoarse voice and knew that Xiao Yan was extremely excited at this moment. Hence, he did not joke around. Instead, he nodded to Xiao Yan in acknowledgment.
Xiao Yan was extremely excited when he saw this. He was just about to open his mouth to ask when Gu You opened his mouth and spoke again.
"Although I will help you cultivate the Burning Flame Mantra to the advanced stage, you will still need to obtain the entire Cultivation Method by yourself. This is because even if it's me, I only have a fifth of the complete Burning Flame Mantra. The other four parts are in the hands of the other four fellows. Whether or not you can obtain them will all depend on you."
Xiao Yan's eyes were originally looking at Gu You with a sigh. However, he shrank back when he heard the latter part of the sentence. His face was depressed as he looked at Gu You. Gu You was also depressed and helpless. This was something that the Tou She Ancient God had done back then. Why was it all blamed on him? However, Xiao Yan reacted a moment later and continued to ask.
"You said that the other four parts are in the hands of the other four people. Could it be that you know who those four people are? Why don't you snatch them back? "
Xiao Yan was just about to continue asking when he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His eyes were shocked as he looked at Gu You.
"Or perhaps, you are not a match for those four fellows. Every one of them is stronger than you!"
Gu You was listening to Xiao Yan make wild guesses about the whereabouts of the four parts of the Qi Method. However, when he suddenly heard Xiao Yan's words, his eyes immediately became excited. He suddenly let out a wild roar and said, "Junior!
How can you speak of your elders in such a manner! How can those four old fellows be a match for the old me! Moreover, the old me has already obtained a successor. How can they be compared with the old me! Ugh … "
Gu You seemed to have suddenly recalled that he had said something. He turned his head and saw Xiao Yan's dark and sinister expression. Gu You was suddenly stunned on the spot and did not say anything. Only when Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at Gu You did Gu You sigh.
"Ugh! Little fellow, it seems that you have purposely said this because you are certain that the old me will not hurt you. Alright, alright. In any case, I will have to tell you sooner or later. "
"The old me is Gu You. I am the guardian of one of the Five Flame Sealed Points, the Serene Bone Point. Back then, the Tou She Ancient God was the original bodies of the five of us. Back then, the Tou She Ancient God was born on the Dou Qi continent and merged with many Heavenly Flames. Finally, he reached the peak of this continent!"
"On the day he broke through, the world trembled. Fire rain fell from the sky and incinerated everything. It was just like a calamity on the continent. The land continued to tremble. Magma shot into the sky like spring water. It corresponded with the fire rain and turned the sky into a sea of fire. The entire continent turned into a purgatory.
"When the Tou She Ancient God saw this, he used his great ability to summon the life energy of the world and reshaped everything on the continent. All life in the world was able to survive. A hundred years later, the Tou She Ancient God wanted to return to this world after having tasted everything in the world. However, there was a secret on the continent that had yet to be resolved. Hence, he left his inheritance behind and waited for the fated person to come and obtain it.
"However, he was afraid that it would be snatched away by a bully. Hence, he separated the five of us from his body and ordered us to choose a successor. He scattered his cultivation and disappeared from this world."
"Hu ~ you should be aware that the old me has spoken until this point, right?"
Finally, Gu You exhaled a long breath. Only then did he speak with some agitation in his heart.
Xiao Yan nodded. However, he quickly raised his head and frowned as he asked Gu You.
"Since the Tou She Ancient God disappeared on this continent, what is the matter with the Tou She Ancient God Mansion on the Dou Qi continent?"
"This … Don't tell me that you do not allow a living person to leave behind a mansion? Hee, it is merely a mansion. What is there to make a fuss about? "
Gu You's eyebrows were involuntarily lifted when he heard this. He spoke in a calm voice. Xiao Yan continued to look at Gu You in a somewhat doubtful manner, but he was unable to see anything. Finally, he could only give up on thinking about it. However, his heart suddenly felt a little lost when he looked at the Heavenly Flame Square on the distant Dou Qi continent. It seemed that there was something that he was unaware of that attracted him, but he was interrupted by Gu You.
However, Xiao Yan still blurted out a sentence in his dazed state.
"Why does that Heavenly Flame Square seem to have been seen somewhere before?"
Gu You's eyes suddenly shrank upon hearing this.
