As Mu Yan left the main hall, he headed towards the area where the disciples resided.
"Master gave me a technique, but I don't know what level it is," he muttered, eager to start practicing his newly acquired skills.
At that moment, five burly men approached. Their aura was so intense that Mu Yan stopped involuntarily.
"Don't be afraid. We are the elders of the sect, here to pay our respects to the sect master," one of the men said with a friendly smile. Mu Yan relaxed upon hearing this.
"Disciple Mu Yan, has met the elders!" he bowed.
Once the five elders left, Mu Yan continued to the disciples' quarters.
"It's too scary here. I don't even dare to move, let alone leak any of my aura!" Mr. Li's frightened voice echoed in Mu Yan's mind.
"Master Li, don't worry. This is Kunlun Holy Land, and I'm already the eldest disciple here. Nothing will happen!" Mu Yan reassured him. He trusted that his master would not harm him. Besides, no matter how powerful Mr. Li was, he was just a remnant soul.
Even Mu Yan himself did not realize that, although he had always regarded Master Li as the most powerful figure, he now looked down on his cultivation. Witnessing higher levels of power had broadened his horizons.
"What did your master tell you?" asked Mr. Li curiously.
Mu Yan couldn't contain his excitement. "Master has helped me improve my aptitude. I am no longer born with just a fire spirit root!"
"Improve your qualifications? Is that true? Let me see!" Mr. Li took over Mu Yan's body, half in disbelief, and was shocked by the heat and power emanating from it.
"What kind of physique is this? You are like a ball of fire now. I have never seen such a strong physique!" Mr. Li exclaimed in horror.
"Master said this is the Flame Spirit Holy Body, but I don't really know what that means," Mu Yan replied.
Mr. Li was stunned. "Do you know what the Flame Spirit Sacred Body is? It's the closest physique to the origin of fire in legends. A fire spirit root is rubbish compared to the Flame Spirit Sacred Body!"
"Who is your master? How could he improve your physique to this level?" Mr. Li was incredulous. Even a genius like him, who specialized in fire, had never seen such a physique and thought it was a mere legend.
"I don't know, but Master must be one of the most powerful people! Oh, and I just met five elders from the sect. Their aura was even more powerful than that of the Spiritual Transformation Stage!" Mu Yan shared.
"Could it be the Void Refining Stage? Or even the Body Fusion Stage? Or the Mahayana Stage?" Mr. Li pondered. He was curious about the Kunlun Holy Land. Despite his great strength and unparalleled fire-controlling skills, he didn't dare release any aura in front of Ye Chen.
"Since you now have the Flame Spirit Holy Body, it would be best to practice my 'Heaven Burning Art.' This is a magical technique that can grow, and in the future, it can become an immortal-level technique!" Mr. Li exclaimed excitedly and handed Mu Yan a jade slip containing the technique.
The levels of martial arts were: mortal level, spiritual level, mysterious level, king level, saint level, immortal level, and emperor level.
"Don't underestimate it just because it's currently a spiritual-level technique. With your aptitude, you can upgrade it to an immortal-level technique by absorbing a lot of immortal fire!" Mr. Li proudly explained. This treasure was his biggest secret, capable of allowing Mu Yan to cultivate to the realm of a true immortal.
Mu Yan hesitated as he looked at the jade slip. Noticing this, Mr. Li asked, "Mu Yan, what's wrong? Don't you like 'Heaven Burning Art'?"
"No, it's not that. Master has already given me a technique. He said it's the most suitable for me," Mu Yan replied.
"Take it out. I'll help you check it out," Mr. Li said, slightly annoyed.
Mu Yan took out the flaming scroll from his space ring. The room's temperature suddenly rose, and even Mr. Li's soul felt uncomfortably burned.
"What an amazing scroll!" Mr. Li's expression changed. The flame attached to the surface was already powerful, so the scroll itself must be extraordinary.
Mu Yan opened the scroll with great anticipation. Written on it were the words "Flame God Art," followed by "Emperor Level."
Mr. Li and Mu Yan were stunned.
"Emperor level! Only an Immortal Emperor can create an emperor-level technique. Every emperor-level technique is a treasure guarding a holy land and is the foundation of a transcendent force," Mr. Li said. "Just casually teaching an emperor-level technique to a teenager at the seventh level of the foundation-building stage? No one in the entire Wild Immortal World has such courage!"
Compared to the emperor-level "Flame God Art," Mr. Li's immortal-level "Burning Heaven Art" was like garbage.
Mr. Li and Mu Yan were speechless for a long time, recovering slowly from their shock.
"Now that you have the 'Flame God Art,' my 'Burning Heaven Art' is indeed not suitable for you," Mr. Li said, feeling both embarrassed and disappointed. The treasure he had hidden away was now worthless.
Mu Yan didn't know how to comfort him. Compared to Ye Chen, Mr. Li was indeed lacking.
"Mr. Li, maybe one day I can talk to my master and ask him to help you?" Mu Yan suggested, knowing that Mr. Li's greatest wish was to condense a physical body. He believed that his master could easily accomplish this.
"Is this feasible?" Mr. Li was tempted.
Before they could continue chatting, Mr. Li's face turned terrified as an irresistible force grabbed him and pulled him into the void.
"Mr. Li!" Mu Yan reached out anxiously but caught nothing.
"Disciple, I asked him to come over. You don't have to panic. Just practice with peace of mind." Ye Chen's voice echoed in his ears.
Mu Yan was relieved. Since it was his master's doing, there was no need to worry. With his master's strength, he must have detected the remnant soul within Mu Yan.
