Xiao Xuan
Xiao Yan put away the Mystic Heavy Ruler and looked up. The source of this oppressive feeling was the unremarkable, thin old man not far away.
"You're surnamed Xiao?" Tang Zhen, who had red curly hair like Tang Huo'er, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.
Tang Zhen was also slightly taken aback when he heard Xiao Yan's name, but he concealed it well and didn't show it. His gaze slowly swept over Xiao Yan, and as he scanned him, the surprise in his eyes grew stronger.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded lightly.
"To be able to conceal his aura so perfectly, this Tang Zhen is very strong. No wonder he's the helmsman of Burning Flame Valley, one of the Three Valleys of Central State." Xiao Yan was secretly glad that he hadn't brought Little Fairy Doctor and Heavenly Flame Venerable with him.
If a real battle broke out, it would be hard to say.
Xiao Yan had deliberately come alone, his purpose being to avoid making Burning Flame Valley too vigilant.
It was like now, no matter how outrageous an Eight Star Dou Huang was, people would think he was joking. An Eight Star Dou Huang infiltrating Burning Flame Valley alone didn't put much pressure on many Burning Flame Valley disciples at all.
Even Tang Huo'er didn't want to alert the enemy at first and observed for a while.
After all, according to Old Ancestor Xiao Xuan, the founder of this Burning Flame Valley had some friendship with the Xiao Clan. He had to give Old Ancestor some face.
"Hmph, I don't care who you are. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is the secret of Burning Flame Valley. Any outsider who cultivates the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations must either cripple one of the Meridians used to perform the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, making them unable to use it, or, if they can pass Burning Flame Valley's assessment and join Burning Flame Valley, they can be exempted from punishment." A bland, aged voice suddenly sounded. Xiao Yan glanced over and saw the white-haired old man standing next to Tang Zhen.
Xiao Yan just smiled faintly at the old man's question, not wanting to argue.
In any power, there would naturally be both good cop and bad cop. He wasn't angry. If someone else learned his Xiao Clan's Cultivation Method, he wouldn't just ignore it either.
"Could it be that Old Ancestor's words are no longer effective? Do they not know Xiao Xuan?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder. His Old Ancestor's name wasn't working!
Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was created by Old Ancestor and left in Burning Flame Valley to await the arrival of the Xiao Clan's descendants?
Look at this white-haired old man, he doesn't seem to know about it.
Just then, Tang Zhen suddenly raised his hand, looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice, "Huo'er, take this little friend to the Guest Room to rest. I'll be there in a while."
! ? The Third Elder Wu Chen, who had just spoken, was also shocked. Now that an outsider had secretly learned the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, you still want to treat him well? Are you crazy?! "Third Elder, you don't need to say more. I will talk to this little friend about the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations." Tang Zhen glanced at the Third Elder, his eyes carrying the inviolable majesty of the Valley Master.
Seeing Tang Zhen's expression, the Third Elder Wu Chen had no choice but to nod sullenly.
Immediately, Tang Zhen looked around and said in a deep voice, "Look at you all, you couldn't even capture him when he was alone. All Burning Flame Valley disciples, listen up! From now on, for one month, double your training!"
"Ah!" For a moment, all the Burning Flame Valley disciples focused their angry gazes on Xiao Yan.
Although everyone didn't know what had happened, they understood that Xiao Yan was the reason they had to train harder!
Xiao Yan touched his nose, looking innocent. He couldn't be blamed for this.
...
A moment later, with a creak, the tightly closed door was gently pushed open, and Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er slowly walked out, then raised their eyes and looked at the Courtyard.
Outside the room was a garden, filled with many colorful flowers. A gentle breeze blew, and the entire Courtyard was filled with a faint floral fragrance, giving people a feeling of peace.
"Who exactly are you? Why did my dad react like that when he heard your surname was Xiao?" As soon as Xiao Yan entered the Guest Room, Tang Huo'er couldn't help but ask.
She had never heard of an outsider cultivating the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, but this kind of thing was a matter of dignity for any power! Her dad was the Valley Master, so why was he treating Xiao Yan so well instead? "Well, I think you should ask your dad about that. Some things are hard for me to say." Xiao Yan smiled, poured himself a cup of tea, and waited for Tang Zhen's arrival.
However, Xiao Yan could sense that there were more and more patrolling disciples outside the room, almost surrounding the entire Courtyard.
Xiao Yan didn't have to wait long before Tang Zhen finally came to visit him.
Tang Zhen also needed to explain to the Elders. Some things were only known to the Valley Masters of each generation, not even his daughter or the Great Elders.
"Little friend Xiao Yan, you said your surname is Xiao. Can you elaborate on how you obtained the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations?" After Tang Zhen sat down, he didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
Although he was already ninety percent sure of some things, Tang Zhen didn't say it too clearly, as there were too many people in the world with the surname Xiao.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, "Since we're all straightforward people, let's get straight to the point. Valley Master Tang, I am Xiao Yan, and I am here under the orders of my ancestor Xiao Xuan to learn the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations that he created and left in Burning Flame Valley."
!!!!!!!!
Tang Huo'er was shocked and stood up, saying, "The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is the secret of Burning Flame Valley. How can you say it's your ancestor's!"
"Huo'er, you're being rude." Tang Zhen's face didn't show any surprise, but instead he reprimanded his daughter.
"But Dad, he... he's slandering our Burning Flame Valley!" Tang Huo'er stomped her feet. Could this be her dad's illegitimate son? Why was he helping him in every way! "Sigh." Tang Zhen sighed, shook his head, and looked deeply at Xiao Yan, saying, "He's not slandering Burning Flame Valley. As little friend Xiao Yan said, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was indeed created by a super powerhouse named Xiao Xuan."
"Ah?!" Tang Huo'er's mouth widened in surprise. The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, which the entire Burning Flame Valley regarded as a treasure, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations that they had always promoted, was actually someone else's?! "It's normal that you don't know about this. Not only you, but even the Great Elder and Second Elder don't know about it. This is a secret that has been passed down orally by the Valley Masters of each generation." Tang Zhen said slowly.
"Burning Flame Old Ancestor, who is also the founder of my Burning Flame Valley, a peak powerhouse who once shook the entire continent, had a very deep friendship with Senior Xiao Xuan."
"According to the secret records in the Valley, in the Dou Qi Continent of Burning Flame Old Ancestor's era, there were five supreme powerhouses. These five people represented the most peak power of the Dou Qi Continent, and Burning Flame Old Ancestor was one of them. All five were people with profound strength, only one step away from the legendary Dou Di level..." Tang Zhen said slowly, his voice filled with awe for the supreme powerhouses of that era.
"Dou Di." This was the first time Xiao Yan had heard about his Old Ancestor's era, his eyes slightly narrowed as he listened attentively.
Tang Huo'er's pretty face was filled with shock. This title, without any embellishment, possessed endless power, making everyone under this word as small as ants.
"Who are the other four strongest individuals?"
Tang Zhen's face showed a look of contemplation. After a long while, he said, "Due to the distant era, the specific titles of the other four have been lost, but it is known that three of them belonged to the three major forces: the Gu Clan, the Soul Palace, and the Pill Tower. And the force of the last person no longer exists. It was Xiao Xuan from the Xiao Clan."
"According to secret records, this Xiao Xuan had a good relationship with the Burning Flame Old Ancestor. It is said that the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was created by him and, for some unknown reason, has remained in the Burning Flame Valley. The Burning Flame Old Ancestor ordered it to be guarded as the treasure of the Burning Flame Valley."
Hearing this, Tang Huo'er's small mouth opened slightly in surprise, her face full of astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.
"The ancestral records state this, but the truth is hard to verify due to the long passage of time," Tang Zhen nodded.
Tang Zhen's eyes also looked at Xiao Yan with some strangeness, because to be honest, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was not qualified to become the treasure of the valley. Within their Burning Flame Valley, there was even a super Old Ancestor of an Eight Star Dou Sheng still alive.
Rumor has it that this Old Ancestor even guarded Heaven Rank Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques, but for some reason, since the Burning Flame Old Ancestor's unknown fall, the powerful Burning Flame Valley had hidden itself. The strength of the Burning Flame Valley plummeted, and the powerful Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques were put away.
This led to the once-powerful Burning Flame Valley falling into its current situation, as if it were avoiding some powerful enemy.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, a secret method that did not belong to the Burning Flame Valley, had always been regarded as a treasure.
Now Tang Zhen even suspected that the orally transmitted instructions left by the Burning Flame Old Ancestor were waiting for the descendants of Xiao Xuan? Was the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, as the secret method of the valley, feared to be lost???
If that were the case, then this young man before him was extraordinary.
Hearing Tang Zhen's words, Xiao Yan also pondered, because he knew more. Xiao Xuan was defeated by Hun Tiandi, and even the Xiao Clan was destroyed by the Soul Clan.
And this Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations seemed to be of great importance. Old Ancestor Xiao Xuan did not hesitate to secretly hide the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, wanting his descendants to cultivate it.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up, cupped his hands towards Tang Zhen, and politely asked, "Valley Master Tang, although this was indeed left by my ancestor, I, Xiao Yan, do not intend to take it away. The clan has passed down the first transformation. I only hope to cultivate the last two transformations of the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations."
Tang Zhen pondered. It was impossible for someone to impersonate the descendants of Xiao Xuan. Because this matter was only known to the successive Valley Masters of the Burning Flame Valley, it was top secret. How could others know that the treasure of the Burning Flame Valley was not created by the Burning Flame Valley?
Of course, the Soul Clan knew, but if the Soul Clan wanted it, the entire Burning Flame Valley could not stop them.
"The Old Ancestor has passed down orally that if the descendants of the Xiao Clan ask for the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations in the future, they should be given to them unconditionally. Come with me." Tang Zhen finally nodded. After all, this was the secret method left by someone else's Old Ancestor. Their Burning Flame Valley had occupied it for so many years, there was no reason not to let them cultivate it.
Xiao Yan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Valley Master."
"You're welcome. This was originally your clan's secret method," Tang Zhen shook his head and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Zhen turned around and took the lead towards the depths of the valley. Tang Huo'er quickly followed, and Xiao Yan also hurriedly followed.
"The Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is the top secret method of the Burning Flame Valley, so it is generally stored in the Dou Technique Pavilion in the valley." Tang Huo'er followed Tang Zhen behind Xiao Yan, and the former whispered to Xiao Yan with a smile.
"Oh."
"How did you cultivate? Although your cultivation is weaker than mine, your strength is not weak at all."
"I didn't cultivate much."
"We'll fight again after you cultivate the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations. This time I won't hold back!"
During the chat with Tang Huo'er along the way, the gravel road under their feet became much shorter. When Xiao Yan noticed that Tang Zhen in front of him suddenly stopped, he raised his head. At this moment, at the end of this gravel path, there was a building hidden among the lush trees. Faintly, on that building, there were three large characters: Dou Technique Pavilion.
"This is the Dou Technique Pavilion of my Burning Flame Valley. Usually, it is forbidden for people to enter here." Tang Huo'er said beside Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the surrounding trees without a trace. He could faintly feel that there were hidden auras here, obviously the guards of the Dou Technique Pavilion, and each of them was a Dou Zong.
When the three of them stopped in front of the Dou Technique Pavilion, three figures immediately swept down from the top of the pavilion, then transformed into three red-robed Elders, and then bowed to Tang Zhen.
"Three Elders, please open the Dou Technique Pavilion." Tang Zhen waved his hand and said lightly.
Hearing this, the three Elders, all of whom were filled with majestic auras, glanced at Xiao Yan, then nodded in response. At the same time, they formed mysterious hand seals, and red rays of light shot out from their hands, then shot on the closed door of the pavilion.
As these red lights hit, the surface of the door suddenly rippled violently, and then the door slowly opened with a creaking sound.
Seeing the door open, Tang Zhen took the lead and stepped into it, and Xiao Yan and the other two quickly followed.
As soon as they entered the door, the light became much dimmer. In sight, there were rows of neat high cabinets. On the wooden shelves, there were scrolls of different colors. However, Tang Zhen did not stay here too much, and went directly to the upper floor.
This pavilion had a total of three floors, and Xiao Yan and the other two stopped after walking to the third floor.
The third floor of the Dou Technique Pavilion was not large. At a glance, it seemed quite empty. At the four corners of this floor, there were rich rays of light shrouded. Outside those rays of light, the space had a distorted feeling. Obviously, everything here had been added with special protection.
"Don't touch anything here, or there will be some trouble." Tang Zhen reminded Xiao Yan, then walked to the middle of this floor, where there was a red light lingering. His ten fingers quickly tapped on it, and the red light gradually dissipated, finally revealing a red crystal ball the size of a head.
The crystal ball was suspended in mid-air, and the whole body was red. At a glance, it could be seen that the crystal seemed to be filled with countless mysterious runes, which looked extremely magical.
"This is the Inheritance Crystal of my Burning Flame Valley. It not only contains the most complete Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations cultivation method, but also the experiences of the Burning Flame Valley's past seniors regarding this Cultivation Method," Tang Zhen said with a faint smile.
"How much experience you can absorb will depend on your comprehension ability. I can't help you with that."
Xiao Yan looked at the Inheritance Crystal in front of him, his heart burning with excitement. He had used this incomplete Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations for many years, and today he could finally obtain the complete version! "Let me see, what are the mysteries of this Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations that even the Old Ancestor was willing to spend great effort to leave behind!" Xiao Yan slowly reached out his hand.
