"Huuu …"
Xiao Yan stood proudly in the sky. He had a fanatical expression on his face. He clenched his fists and sensed the surging Dou Qi within his body. After a long time, Xiao Yan's state of mind gradually stabilized.
"Is this the power of a mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor? Indeed, compared to an early stage six star Half Martial Emperor, there is a huge difference!"
Xiao Yan muttered softly. He could not help but exclaim in admiration. Compared to an early stage six star Half Martial Emperor, there was indeed a huge difference between a mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor and an early stage six star Half Martial Emperor.
As the saying goes, the slightest mistake could lead to a difference of a thousand miles. Even though the difference in strength between an early stage six star Half Martial Emperor and a mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor was only a single step, the gap between them was like a chasm.
If an ordinary early stage Six Star Half Martial Emperor were to rely solely on cultivation, and without the use of any external items, it would likely be impossible for them to increase their strength to mid stage Six Star Half Martial Emperor without several years or even several tens of years.
If one were to use time to measure the difference between the two, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would take a hundred years.
Of course, it had only been half a year since Xiao Yan had broken through to the early stage six star Half Martial Emperor. In half a year's time, he had broken through from a five star Half Martial Emperor to a mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor. Such a frightening cultivation speed could be said to be heaven defying!
One must know that if an ordinary person wanted to break through from the mid stage five star Half Martial Emperor to the mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor, it would likely take them at least a hundred years. However, the current Xiao Yan had indeed only used half a year's time to break through from the mid stage five star Half Martial Emperor to the mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor.
Such a frightening cultivation speed was simply something that no one could compare to!
"Hehe, boy, not bad. In less than half a year's time, you've managed to break through from the middle stage five star Half Martial Emperor to the middle stage six star Half Martial Emperor. With your cultivation speed, even if you were to be placed among the peak powers of the continent, you would likely be ranked at the top."
The empty space beside Xiao Yan distorted slightly before Gu You's figure gradually appeared. He looked at Xiao Yan with a mocking smile. His old eyes, which contained a glint, involuntarily revealed a surprised expression.
Even he had never imagined that Xiao Yan would be able to break through from the middle stage Five Star Half Martial Emperor to the middle stage Six Star Half Martial Emperor in merely half a year's time. This was truly shocking!
"Haha, Old Gu, please don't make fun of me. I know my own limits. Compared to those people that you have mentioned, the strength that I obtained by relying on external objects has a somewhat opportunistic feeling. Otherwise, how could I possibly raise my cultivation by so much within half a year's time?"
Xiao Yan shook his head after hearing Gu You's words. His face sighed as he spoke.
He knew very well how he obtained his current cultivation. Even though he might be a rare exceptional genius in the eyes of others, in his own eyes, he had merely relied on external objects to reach his current level of cultivation.
This was not merely because he had broken through from the fifth star Half Martial Emperor to the sixth star Half Martial Emperor. After all, on the path that Xiao Yan had walked, exactly how much of his strength and cultivation had been obtained through his own cultivation …
Almost none.
By relying on all sorts of opportunities and the Flame Mantra Martial Technique that he had cultivated, Xiao Yan had always been searching for all sorts of powerful Heavenly Flames. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Heavenly Flames were the most tyrannical and ferocious power in this world. However, to Xiao Yan, they were the source of his strength, the foundation of his cultivation. It could be said that without Heavenly Flames, he, Xiao Yan, would not have been able to reach his current level of cultivation.
"Humph, brat, there is no need for you to belittle yourself. That's right, practically all of the strength that you possess right now is obtained through external help. Even your mid stage six star Half Martial Emperor cultivation was bestowed to you by that woman called Leng Bingshuang …"
Gu You seemed to have seen through Xiao Yan's thoughts. He coldly snorted to express his dissatisfaction with Xiao Yan's dispirited attitude. At the same time, the words that came out of his mouth were also provoking Xiao Yan.
"However, you should not forget just how much pain you had to go through when you swallowed the Heavenly Flames to obtain your strength. That degree of pain is enough to turn an ordinary person into ashes. Yet, you were able to endure it and obtain a transformation. This is already sufficient to prove yourself. As long as your efforts are proportional to your returns, nothing else is important."
Gu You stared at Xiao Yan in front of him as he spoke in a solemn tone. At the same time, the expression on Xiao Yan's face was volatile as he repeatedly thought about Gu You's words in his heart.
"The method you used to obtain strength is indeed a shortcut. However, at the same time, isn't the pain and danger that you have to endure also a few times or even dozens of times that of others? In this entire world, has there ever been anyone who had put themselves in a dangerous situation because of purely practicing Dou Qi? I'm afraid that there is no one else other than you, who practices the Flame Mantra! "
The emotions on Xiao Yan's face gradually stabilized after hearing Gu You's words. A determined expression flashed across his eyes.
Indeed, Gu You's words were not false. One's efforts and returns must be proportional. Even the members of those large aristocratic families had to rely on the resources of their clan in order to train at such a fast speed.
As for Xiao Yan, he was alone in the outside world. He needed to think of a way to obtain everything. Xiao Yan did not have the so-called training resources. He was only searching for ways to raise his strength. Compared to the members of those clans, Xiao Yan's strength was even more difficult to obtain.
"Ha ha …"
Xiao Yan involuntarily laughed softly when he thought of this. The distracting thoughts in his heart were tossed aside, and his emotions returned to normal. His condition had once again recovered to its peak.
"Ha ha, Old Gu, relax. I understand what you have said. There is no true right or wrong on the path of training. Ultimately, only the strong can control the truth in this world. It seems that I have thought too much. As long as I am worthy of my strength, I will not regret it. No one will delve into the origin of my strength."
Gu You nodded. His old face revealed a gratified smile. In this world, strength was respected. Without strength, one was even less than a pile of dog shit. At the very least, no one would dare to step on dog shit …
"Let's go. We will talk after reaching our destination. The opening of the Desolate Ancient Remains is imminent. It is likely that quite a number of experts will gather this time around. This is also a good thing. It will also allow you to broaden your horizons and see the world of an elite Dou Di. That level is not something that an ordinary place can compare with!"
Gu You sighed softly. He immediately turned his body, turned into a ray of light, and entered Xiao Yan's body. Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. After meeting a couple of elite Dou Di, his heart had become increasingly excited about the so-called Dou Di class. He did not know when he would be able to reach that level!
A fiery heat involuntarily surged deep within Xiao Yan's eyes when he thought of this. Dou Di was a level that could truly be ranked among the experts on the Yuanwu Continent. He believed that he would one day reach that level or even go further and become even stronger!
However, Xiao Yan could only focus his attention on the present. The path of an expert had to be taken one step at a time. One had to rely on oneself to walk down this path!
