243: Chapter 243 Little Canaan Academy? Is there a Dou Di's cave below?

"I really can't imagine how soundly I could sleep if I could just lie down in Gu Han's treasure vault."

Envious and covetous tears almost flowed from the corners of her mouth; Zi Yan reached out and lightly wiped her lips.

Gu Han glanced at him and said, "Senior, could you find some time to refine a bone-growing blood-merging pill?"

"You don't need to worry about the Pill Lightning; I can step in to handle it."

The group finally recovered from their shock. Yao Lao stared intently at the corpse of that Dou Zong: "He gives me a familiar feeling. Could it be someone I know?"

"It's not because you know him, but because you are very familiar with the power inside his body," Gu Han explained to Yao Lao. "He was a Hall of Souls Protector with the strength of a Six-Star Dou Zong. I captured him half a year ago when he came to Yunmu City to investigate."

At that time, his cultivation had just reached Peak Dou Huang and he was preparing for a Breakthrough; the Opportunity provided by the Black Tortoise Shell had informed him of this.

When he eliminated Han Feng, he had guessed it might draw the Hall of Souls. He had long been prepared in various aspects for this and did not feel surprised.

He would definitely destroy the Hall of Souls, not just because of his innate disgust and dissatisfaction with their style of doing things, but also because the Cloud Mist Sect had a blood feud with the Hall of Souls, making their positions naturally antagonistic.

However, the Hall of Souls was too strong. It was currently unwise to confront them openly and have them send experts he couldn't withstand, so he could only cause trouble in secret.

"A Six-Star Dou Zong of the Hall of Souls!?" The group was shocked once again.

They hadn't expected Gu Han to have killed such an expert without their knowledge.

"In that case, all the conditions needed to help a Soul body like mine resurrect have been gathered." Yao Lao's voice couldn't help but tremble.

He also hadn't expected that only six short years since awakening, he would already see all the conditions for resurrection met.

As long as Gu Han was willing to give him these things, he, Venerable Yao, could be revived in a year or two.

Although his strength wouldn't be as it was in his prime, with his abilities, returning to his Peak was only a matter of time.

"Indeed. The biggest difficulty is the Heavenly Flame, but for us, it's not a problem at all." Gu Han waved his hand to put everything away and said with a calm expression, "I have the Yin Yang Twin Flames, there's the Fallen Heart Flame here, my maid has the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, Brother Xiao has the Green Lotus Core Flame and Sea Heart Flame, and Senior has the Bone Chilling Flame."

Everyone present: !!!

If you hadn't said it, we wouldn't have realized that five Heavenly Flames were actually hidden within this tiny Jia Nan Academy.

If Gu Han knew their thoughts, he would certainly find it amusing in his heart.

Right beneath Jia Nan Academy, there was also the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode.

Inside the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode, there was a Heavenly Flame Square, containing the Heavenly Flame Origins of every flame except for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame and the Void Swallowing Flame.

"Senior, the method you mentioned should only be the most basic resurrection method, right?" Gu Han already knew the actual situation, but he still had to ask for appearances. "A Dou Zong's corpse, the essence blood of a Rank 7 Demonic Beast comparable to a Dou Zong, and a Peak Seventh Grade Pill... it feels like these wouldn't be enough for a former Peak Nine-Change Dou Zun like yourself to return to your prime, right?"

"Peak Nine-Change Dou Zun?" Xiao Yan's expression froze; clearly, this was the first time he had heard of this Realm's existence.

"Brother Xiao didn't know?" Gu Han was somewhat surprised.

"His cultivation wasn't high enough before, so I didn't tell him too much to avoid him being overambitious." Yao Lao stroked his illusory beard and took the initiative to explain, "At the Dou Zong level, every three stars is a world of difference."

"At the Dou Zun level, every single star's increase brings earth-shattering changes. A Nine-Star Dou Zun can easily defeat several Six-Star Dou Zuns without any pressure."

"After the ninth star of Dou Zun, it isn't the Dou Sheng level, but rather the Peak Dou Zun level, known as the Nine Revolutions to Sainthood."

"Completing each 'change' requires the total Dou Qi needed to Cultivate from a One-Star Dou Zun to a Nine-Star Dou Zun."

"Each change is a different world. If one can condense a tenth change after the ninth, they become a Ban Sheng."

"A Ban Sheng already has one foot in the Dou Sheng level. With enough time to accumulate, they will surely reach One-Star Dou Sheng."

"Back then, I was a Peak Nine-Change Dou Zun, only half a step away from becoming a Saint."

From this, it was evident just how much Yao Lao had trusted Han Feng and how little he had guarded against him to actually be brought down by a sneak attack. Even with Mu Gu Old Man's help, it was still mind-boggling.

It was no exaggeration to say that Yao Lao wouldn't even need to use Dou Techniques; he could have crushed Mu Gu Old Man simply by using space and world energy pressure.

Hiss!

Only now did everyone, aside from Gu Han, finally gain some understanding of Yao Lao's Peak strength.

Even for Ling Xiao and Ling Ying, their status in the Ancient Clan was not high, and they had only heard some information circulating on the surface of the Central Plains.

They only knew that Venerable Yao of the Four Pavilions was powerful and that, relying on his own Realm and alchemy skills, he had made the Starfall Pavilion almost catch up to the five veteran top-tier powers of the Central Plains: the Two Sects and Three Valleys.

However, he had always been traveling the continent looking for something, leaving the development of the Starfall Pavilion to Wind Venerable, so this faction was known for its mystery.

Despite this, over the years, even with only Wind Venerable alone, Venerable Yao had still allowed the Starfall Pavilion to faintly become the head of the Four Pavilions.

They hadn't expected that Yao Chen was only half a step away from being a Dou Sheng.

"Little friend, you are right. The conditions mentioned earlier cannot allow me to return to my Peak." Yao Chen signaled Xiao Yan not to be too shocked and smiled at Gu Han. "The Realm of the corpse when it was alive, the grade of the pill, the essence blood used, and the degree of my own Soul's recovery will all affect the final resurrection result."

"Thanks to you, my Soul state has now recovered to its Peak. If I were resurrected using the items you just brought out, my cultivation would probably recover to around a Three-Star Dou Zun. The essence blood mostly affects potential."

"Then how long would it take for Senior to return to your Peak?" Gu Han asked again.

"Less than ten years," Yao Lao said very confidently.

Back then, it had only taken him ten years to rise from a One-Star Dou Zun to a Peak Dou Zun.

But that was because he had good luck and gained many benefits from exploring an ancient ruin.

"What if we use a Dou Zun's corpse, an Eighth Grade Pill, and Rank 8 Demonic Beast essence blood?" Gu Han asked again.

"Even if I can't return to my Peak immediately, I could be around a Nine-Star Dou Zun, and the recovery speed would be faster," Yao Lao said.

"Understood." Gu Han communicated with Venerable Skyfire using his Soul Power: "Senior, do you want to resurrect now, or wait for me to gather some Rank 8 Demonic Beast essence blood, pills, and a Dou Zun's corpse for you?"

Yao Tianhuo: !!!

There was actually a choice.

If he were in the magma world, he would have been impatient to resurrect.

But the foundation Gu Han revealed while chatting with everyone gave him ambition.

"Little friend, I'm in no hurry. I am willing to serve as your assistant for a while first." Yao Tianhuo thought that the corpse and pill didn't matter as much, as he was only a Five-Star Dou Zun in life and his Soul Realm was inferior to Yao Chen's.

But for future potential, he hoped to rely on more precious Demonic Beast essence blood to boost it.

"Senior can decide this for yourself." Gu Han left the choice to Venerable Skyfire, then looked at Su Qian. "Grand Elder Su Qian, let's begin now and settle this once and for all."

He had to get things done as quickly as possible.

At his twin wives' place, there were matters waiting for him.
