Xiao Yan sat cross-legged within the mountain cave. The powerful aura within his body was just like a huge entrenched dragon. Following the complete merger of the 'Heavenly Flame', Xiao Yan's strength had completely stabilized at the peak of an advanced two star Dou Di. However, it was also at this moment that an unusual change suddenly occurred deep within Xiao Yan's body and deep within his mind.
The dark-black Soul Bead slowly stood within his mind. The extremely solid Spiritual Strength had caused the Soul Bead to become a little deeper. At the same time, following the increase in Xiao Yan's strength this time around, his own Spiritual Strength had also greatly increased. Based on the current situation, it was likely that Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength could be considered outstanding among all the rank three alchemists.
However, just as Xiao Yan's aura broke through to the peak of an advanced two star Dou Di, an extremely obscure aura suddenly surged out from within the dark-black Soul Bead.
The moment he sensed this aura, Xiao Yan's heart was not the least bit worried. Instead, it was filled with a cold smile. It seemed that he had already expected this.
"You are finally willing to come out. I have been waiting for you!"
Xiao Yan coldly laughed in his heart. It was also at this moment that the Soul Bead within his mind began to tremble intensely. Waves of majestic Spiritual Strength spread out uncontrollably. Soon after, a cluster of black smoke slowly rose from within the Soul Bead. After a couple of changes, it agglomerated into a somewhat illusionary human figure.
"Ga ga ga ga! Xiao Yan, do you still remember the old me? Ga ga ga ga! "
An ear-piercing strange laughter repeatedly reverberated within Xiao Yan's mind. A dense black fog spread out and surrounded the Soul Bead within his mind.
Xiao Yan looked within his mind. The Spiritual Strength within the Soul Bead swiftly surged out and agglomerated into Xiao Yan's illusory figure. Xiao Yan stood opposite Hei Mu and faced the latter with a smile.
"Hei Mu, it has really been a long time since we last met!"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly. His tone was calm as he spoke. One could not hear any emotional fluctuation in his tone. It was as though he had already expected this moment to arrive.
Yes, this ball of pitch black mist was the Black Wood that should have been annihilated in the southern territory's Ginseng World!
"Hmph, pretending to be calm. This old man has been hiding in your body for so long just for this day. How could you find me so easily?!"
Hei Mu sneered disdainfully. He did not believe that Xiao Yan could remain calm in front of him at such a critical moment.
Unfortunately, he had overlooked one person before this.
Gu You
Xiao Yan could not detect Hei Mu's existence, but it did not mean that Gu You could not detect him. Given Gu You's powerful means, Hei Mu's remnant soul could crush him as easily as crushing an ant. However, Gu You did not do so.
According to what Old Luo had said back then, they had found a fragment of the Ginseng Spiritual Root in the Ginseng Spiritual Space. However, the powerful energy that was originally contained in that fragment of the Ginseng Spiritual Root had completely disappeared. Even its original body had been destroyed.
The disappearance of the energy in the Ginseng Spiritual Root made Gu You think of Hei Mu immediately. Unless Hei Mu had taken away the powerful energy when he separated the remnant soul from the Ginseng Spiritual Root, it was impossible for the Ginseng Spiritual Root to turn into scrap metal.
However, if that was the case, Hei Mu's remnant soul was a great fortune to Xiao Yan!
Based on the situation at that time, Gu You did not forcibly remove Hei Mu's remnant soul from Xiao Yan's body. Firstly, he did not want to harm Xiao Yan's essence and affect his future cultivation. Secondly, the Ginseng Spiritual Root contained a great amount of energy. Given Xiao Yan's strength at that time, he could not contain it. If he was not careful, his body would explode and he would die.
Therefore, in order for Xiao Yan to make the best use of this energy, Gu You had asked Xiao Yan to keep Hei Mu's remnant soul in order to wait for the day when Hei Mu appeared.
As long as Hei Mu dared to leave the depths of Xiao Yan's essence, everything would be under Gu You's control. Coincidentally, the time Gu You had predicted Hei Mu's appearance was now, right after Xiao Yan had refined the Bone Freezing Fire!
Without Gu You's protection, Xiao Yan would be alone. As long as Hei Mu took Xiao Yan by surprise, he was confident that he could erase Xiao Yan's consciousness and devour Xiao Yan's Spiritual Origin to achieve his goal of being reborn.
However, it was a pity that all of this was within Gu You's expectations.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, Hei Mu, who was surrounded by black fog, let out a roar. His body moved, and his body, which was surrounded by black fog, charged forward.
A large amount of black fog pounced toward Xiao Yan in an imposing manner that seemed to cover the sky. At the center of this black fog was Xiao Yan and the dark-black Spiritual Bead.
Xiao Yan's expression was calm in the face of Hei Mu's attack. He only smiled when Hei Mu's body was close to him. He slowly lifted his hand and aimed it at Hei Mu.
"Deliberately mystifying things!"
Hei Mu viciously laughed. His speed became even faster as he charged forward. In the blink of an eye, he was only two steps away from Xiao Yan's raised hand.
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly clenched his outstretched hand. In an instant, a large white flame rose in the space around Xiao Yan's body. Immediately, Xiao Yan's entire Spiritual Sea turned into a sea of fire.
Fierce flames rose. A few wisps of beautiful flames were mixed within the dense white flame. It was like a beautiful stamen that was wrapped under snow-white petals.
The black fog around Hei Mu was swiftly incinerated by this dense white flame. Hei Mu, who had originally come in a menacing manner, had become a general without an army at this moment. He no longer had any means to resist.
"This … this is!"
Hei Mu's heart suddenly shook when the flame rose. A deep fear involuntarily surged from the bottom of his heart.
"Haha, it is indeed impossible for me to discover your existence. However, don't forget that Elder Gu's strength was even greater than you at your peak. Therefore, before he scattered his consciousness, he had already made a plan for you."
"What!"
Hei Mu's heart was incomparably terrified when he heard Xiao Yan's words. He did not expect that Gu You had already discovered him hiding deep within Xiao Yan's soul. His goal had also been used by Gu You!
"You … no … that old thing! And you! All of you … are too vicious! "
Hei Mu involuntarily let out a furious roar. Xiao Yan let out a mocking cold laugh when he heard this.
"You say that we are frightening. Don't tell me that you, who have thought of swallowing another person's soul, are not even more frightening?"
Xiao Yan suddenly withdrew his tightly clenched fist after he spoke. Immediately, the dense white flame swiftly gathered toward Hei Mu.
"Ha ha, coincidentally, I am still lacking some energy to breakthrough to a three star Dou Di. In that case, I shall borrow your energy to help me breakthrough to the three star Dou Di class!"
