Chapter 46: Xian Yan Wakes Up

"That fellow will never let this pass. The look in his eye as he walked away was unmistakable for a fire of annihilation!"

"It doesn't matter. If he wants to destroy himself, that is his problem. What worries me is that the whole Lingyun Sect is not sucked into this; otherwise, Xian Ran will then be red-faced if he gets involved in the fray."

Xian Yue watched closely, and it's very careful to record every subtle change on the face of the other. Even if Han Pu was annoying, what could the Lingyun Sect actually do?

His allegiance was to his own clan rather than these invaders.

"But Xian Ran has a concealed body, and it's fairly powerful. But it needs a method to activate, right?

Xian Yue stroked his chin, realizing that this was something. Many talents were harbored by the Xian family, but the technique to awaken such a physique was strange.

"Does it need extreme sorrow or rage to activate this physique?"

"What kind of incidents lead to such intense emotions? Death of a loved one? Loss of a family? How could anyone in my family meet such an end while I'm in charge?

"Heh, it looks like we have a couple of elders who need to be hauled in. They are pretty good at this theatrics business. I'll have a word with them later, we just need the right moment!"

Back in the City

Han Pu stormed back into his quarters, his face a picture of rage, bordering on tears. He'd never experienced such indignity: being reduced to barking like a dog was more than degrading.

"Why is it that the Xian family has so many Golden Core and Nascent Soul? Their riches are said to be as substantial as the Lingyun Sect! "

If not for this, how easily could he have swallowed his pride?

But it bugged him!

How could a simple household from Feihua City be said to have those kinds of strongmen?

Does this family hide some secret? No, I'll leave my grandfather decide on my return to the sect. But the Xian family. Han Pu says he won't be able to live as a human being unless he takes his revenge. Anyone who sees me humiliated will die!"

Next day, Xian Ran and others left Feihua City early for gathering information.

As they left, the atmosphere in Feihua City had suddenly become quite different. Patrons arrived and left the place with greater frequency, but their faces were somber, as if others were strangers to be kept away. The atmosphere was oppressive in general.

Everyone felt something was amiss!

"Clan head, this is bad, this is really bad—Xian Yan is on fire!"

Xian Yuanshan dashed off to seek Xian Yue, his voice rumbling with panic,

"Why in such a hurry?

"Elder, what do we do in such a situation?"

Xian Yue's face scrunched up in surprise at the alarm.

"No, I'm serious! Xian Yan is literally spitting fire!" Xian Yuanshan exclaimed, his voice urgent.

"Why worry? I have put a method on him to control the flames. They won't break through and cause mischief in other buildings. There's no need to worry," Xian Yue said, seemingly nonchalant.

"Ahh? You knew?"

"Of course. There are only a handful of matters concerning my family that I actually care about," Xian Yue stated.

"Then what about the golden flames on Xian Yan? Is that part of his awakening?"

"Indeed, it seems he's finally on the cusp of waking up from such a long sleep!" Xian Yue exclaimed, looking in the direction where Xian Yan was resting. If he hadn't controlled the flames surrounding him, this raging heat would have turned the entire Xian residence into ashes.

"But those flames are scary! They look like a golden dragon. Is he going to burn himself?"

Xian Yue looked at the second elder with a pleased look. "Your worrying has no bounds!"

Inside the room, where Xian Yan was detained, an oval golden barrier shut him up; he was covered in fierce golden flames that twisted into a golden fire dragon that coiled around him.

As the flame dragon spiraled, the aura around Xian Yan gradually grew stronger. He broke through three body tempering, then four, five… until the Golden Core realm, reached the Nascent Soul realm, and finally stopped there as he broke through to the soul formation realm.

Three whole years of not practicing; he was now ready to unleash his potential!

But now he was recovering everything he lost when he awakened his body.

The golden barrier is a measure that Xian Yue employed so that the flames inside him did not cause trouble in the surroundings.

On the side, a middle-aged man, at his fringes with his ragged beard and distress scribbled on his face, paced anxiously. "Why has the second elder not returned? Does he not have an antidote for this?"

"Son, you cannot leave me now! I lost your mother over ten years ago; you must not go too!" Xian Xiantian said, shaking as he gazed at his son lying motionless on the bed.

He had been forced to be separated from Xian Yan's mother.

Not only that, but he had also suffered a crippling of his cultivation.

Since then, he had been living in a fog, numbing his pain with alcohol.

Yet, not so long ago, after bathing in the fairy pool, his hurt meridians were healed. Just as he was about to regain his confidence and step back onto the road to cultivation again, he found that Xian Yan had a crisis once again.

So he had opted to stay by the side of his son, night and day, during this chaos.

At that moment, Xian Yan opened his eyes suddenly. Two golden fire dragons shot out. And with a low roar, the fire dragons that had encircled him once before sank down and were drawn back into his body.

As the flames dissipated, the golden barrier surrounding Xian Yan began to fade away as well.

"Son, you're finally awake! How do you feel?" Xian Xiantian asked, his voice laced with both relief and concern.

"Father?" Xian Yan blinked in amazement. His father, sober for the first time in ten years or more!

"Yes, I'm perfectly all right!"

"I feel fantastic!" Xian Yan declared, straining to clench his fist with the overpowering tide of energy surging through him.

"What just happened? Why did flames engulf you earlier?" Xian Xiantian asked, his worry at this point becoming even deeper.

"I awakened a special physique, and that flame was my innate fire—The Golden Emperor Dragon Flame! "

It was an abnormal fire of the fairies, which could burn everything in front of him.

Moreover, his body was an ultimate immortal body, namely the Immortal Sovereign Body of Emperor Yan!

Xian Yan did not know exactly how strong the Supreme Immortal Body was; however, he felt its gigantic potential.

"If it wasn't for the energy from the fairy pool, it might have taken me much longer to awaken! "

"A special physique?"

Xian Xiantian's eyes widened in shock, then immediately replaced by ecstasy. His son possessed a rare physique?

"I remember your mother also had a fire-attributed special physique. It seems you have inherited her outstanding lineage perfectly!"

"My mother?"

A flicker of surprise creased Xian Yan's face at the mention of his mother.

"Father, where is my mother?" he asked, his voice coming alive suddenly.

Xian Xiantian had nothing to say for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed without reserve: "Your mother came from the other side of the starry sky!"
