124: Chapter 124 Starfall Pavilion

"Xiao Yan, you just gave them such a good thing?"

In the pitch-black spatial turbulence, Zi Yan asked Xiao Yan as she flew beside him.

That was a Small World and an Incarnation with the strength of a Dou Sheng!

Zi Yan hadn't expected the Burning Flame Valley to also possess a Dou Sheng level powerhouse, but giving away a Dou Sheng level Incarnation just like that felt far too extravagant.

"It's fine. I can make a few more of those whenever I want... Do you want one too? If you do, I can make one for you to play with." Xiao Yan chuckled as he looked at the pained expression on Zi Yan's face.

As for the Burning Flame Valley, the more powerful such factions became, the happier Xiao Yan was. While such a faction might not be purely 'good,' they were at least neutral-leaning-righteous.

If the Fighting Qi Continent were filled with factions like this, it would definitely be much, much better than it was now.

Because on this Fighting Qi Continent, the constraints on the strong were simply far too low.

For example, the Three Ghosts of the Scorpion Demon who appeared in the original story; they established the Yin-Yang Sect and used 'Human Cauldrons' to increase their own strength.

They would give Cultivation Techniques to thousands of talented women, and after decades of hard cultivation, they would use a unique dual cultivation method to suck dry their Fighting Qi. Those women would then inevitably die within ten days...

This was just a microcosm. After all, there wasn't just one wicked way to increase strength; many others directly involved absorbing blood, flesh, and so on.

However, even more people, knowing their future prospects were hopeless, would specifically head to weaker places to act like tyrants.

If one's mind was sound and they only wanted to spend the rest of their life in leisurely comfort, such a life would undoubtedly be enviable.

But once someone with a poor mindset could not control their desires, it was not rare for them to do anything.

In this Fighting Qi Continent where the strong were respected and no powerful faction maintained order, the existence of people who could not restrain their desires was the norm, not an exception.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan closed his eyes and sighed, then shook the thought from his mind. To unify the continent and establish a faction strong enough to maintain order, he would at least have to destroy the Hun Clan first. But for now, it was still too early...

"That Clone is so ugly. If you gave me a Small World, that would be okay, and then I could plant countless medicinal herbs inside... Hehe!" Zi Yan had a sudden bright idea when she thought of that Small World. Wouldn't it be wonderful to plant herbs in a Small World?

If there were such a world, filled with medicinal herbs that she could eat whenever she wanted, it would simply be too good!

Seeing Zi Yan nearly drooling, Xiao Yan laughed and said, "You want a Small World? Sure, if you raise your strength to Dou Zun, I'll give you one."

"Then it's a deal!" Hearing that Xiao Yan was willing to give her a Small World, Zi Yan immediately became excited.

Thinking of the kind of world Zi Yan was fantasizing about, Xiao Yan also felt some anticipation. If he could get his hands on the Living Spirit Flame, establishing such a Small World would not be a difficult task.

Furthermore, a Dou Di could even control time to a certain extent. By speeding up the flow of time in the Small World and combining it with the Living Spirit Flame...

However, the conditions for obtaining the Living Spirit Flame were not yet met. Old Man Shennong, who possessed the Living Spirit Flame, was a Six-Star Dou Sheng.

Moreover, he lived in the Shennong Mountain Range and was obsessed with Alchemy. Trying to obtain the Living Spirit Flame from his hands now would be difficult in the extreme!

"Zi Yan, have you not sensed your clansmen during this period?" Seeing that the matters in the Central Plains had temporarily come to a close, Xiao Yan asked Zi Yan.

"I haven't had any special feelings these days," Zi Yan said, shaking her head.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan also shook his head helplessly. They had been in the Central Plains for many days, yet Zi Yan still hadn't sensed other Void Ancient Dragons, which made Xiao Yan a bit anxious.

Although the eight ancient clans restricted each other and did not allow powerhouses above the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng to interfere in the affairs of the Fighting Qi Continent, Xiao Yan was still worried.

In the original story, Xiao Yan roamed freely, killing one Hall of Souls powerhouse after another. Even when he snatched the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, they didn't send out higher-Realm Dou Shengs until the very end when they finally dropped all pretenses.

But thinking about how changing the plot before had caused him to encounter Yun Shan early, Xiao Yan decided to hold back for the time being.

After all, destroying the Tianming Sect and befriending the Burning Flame Valley was enough for Xiao Yan to make a name for himself in the Central Plains.

As for killing a Hall of Souls Dou Sheng to refine a body for Yao Lao, that matter could only be pushed back, because Xiao Yan now had a greater pursuit!

Regarding the Void Ancient Dragon matter, Xiao Yan had commissioned the Burning Flame Valley to spread news about the Void Ancient Dragons to attract them.

However, before that, Xiao Yan had spread news about Yao Lao.

After all, Wind Venerable had been traveling abroad for years to find Yao Lao. Even Xiao Yan couldn't find Wind Venerable in a short time, and going directly to the Starfall Pavilion might result in a wasted trip...

...

Southern Region of the Central Plains, Heavenly Star Mountain Range.

Beneath his feet was a continuous mountain range. Lush forests formed a sea of trees. When the mountain wind blew, the sea of trees swayed, making for an extremely pleasing sight.

Sensing the hidden space before him, Xiao Yan lifted his foot and led Zi Yan inside.

Entering the space, a towering mountain peak came into view. Atop that towering peak, buildings were vaguely visible. Even from here, one could faintly hear the shouts of people sparring.

Xiao Yan looked at the surrounding spatial barriers and reached out his right hand. Strands of brilliance entered Xiao Yan's palm. This was Meteor Star Power, the Star Power brought by the meteors in this space. This Star Power was incredibly miraculous, even capable of constructing this space, which was roughly the size of a city.

Even the spatial lockdown outside was naturally formed and was known as the Starfall Grand Array.

"I didn't expect that fallen meteors would also bring such a unique power as Star Power..."

Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of this world. It was said that the Three Thousand Burning Flame was formed in the starry sky and could absorb the power of the stars to continuously grow stronger, hence it was also called the 'Three Thousand Starry Sky Burning Flame'.

The person who obtained that Heavenly Flame would gain its accompanying 'Three Thousand Starry Sky' Physique, also known as the 'Undying Body.' As long as one's head or heart was not directly crushed on the spot, they would be able to heal themselves.

The Yin Yang Twin Flames in Xiao Yan's possession were also products born within the Universe, possessing the Origin aura of life and death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but develop an interest in the starry sky beyond this continent...

While Xiao Yan was thinking this, a wind sound like a dragon's roar echoed from the distance, rapidly approaching with a rumble. A massive green whirlwind appeared before Xiao Yan.

As the green whirlwind turned into countless points of light and gradually disappeared, an old man wearing a green robe with long hair draped over his shoulders appeared. Although the old man was quite old, one could still see a hint of his handsome looks.

"Who is Your Excellency? Why have you intruded into my Starfall Pavilion?" The long-haired old man narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Xiao Yan and Zi Yan, as if facing a great enemy.

The person before him seemed extremely similar to a portrait he had seen. However, before the long-haired old man had time to think deeply, he was shocked by the next scene.

A wisp of pale-white Heavenly Flame appeared from Xiao Yan's hand. Xiao Yan spoke, "You must be Wind Venerable. I am Venerable Yao's disciple, Xiao Yan."

"Bone Chilling Flame!" Wind Venerable exclaimed in surprise when he saw the pale Heavenly Flame in Xiao Yan's hand.

News about Venerable Yao had spread a few days ago, saying he seemed to be looking for him. Thus, Wind Venerable had rushed back to the Starfall Pavilion. He hadn't expected that instead of Yao Chen, his disciple would come to the door.

"You are his disciple? Then where is he?" Wind Venerable approached Xiao Yan, his tone urgent, to the point where even the name Xiao Yan was automatically skipped in his mind, leaving only the title of Yao Chen, Venerable Yao!

Seemingly seeing Wind Venerable's urgency, Xiao Yan didn't keep him in suspense. Instead, he activated the mark left by Yao Lao and woke him up.

Following Xiao Yan's call, an illusory figure appeared before the three of them.

"*Yawn*~ That was a long sleep~ Little Yan, let me see what surprise you've brought me this time." Yao Lao yawned, his voice somewhat casual. He spoke this way, but his attitude suggested he wouldn't be surprised no matter what happened next.

Then, the Soul body floating between Xiao Yan and Wind Venerable revealed a look of astonishment.
