!
The Route the meridians followed was much more intricate than before, but Xiao Yan seemed to be born with the knowledge; he could smoothly circulate his Dou Qi with just a thought!
Besides the complex meridians, he also discovered that the changes in his Dou Qi weren't entirely due to the new meridian Route. Even the original main meridians were much wider than before. Even without forming new routes, just based on the current strength and resilience of his meridians, the speed at which his Dou Qi circulated was much faster.
It felt like a country road had been upgraded to a highway. The same car would travel at different speeds on a country road compared to a highway, wouldn't it?
In Xiao Yan's perception, the speed of his Dou Qi circulation within his body couldn't even be described as the change from a country road to a highway. Compared to before, that feeling was hundreds of times faster.
He stared blankly at the Dou Qi rapidly flowing along his meridians. As the Dou Qi began to circulate, Xiao Yan could clearly feel a powerful Strength within his body gradually climbing to a peak it had never reached before. After a long while, he finally came back to his senses, still finding it somewhat unbelievable, and murmured:
"It really succeeded?"
He opened his eyes and immediately looked at Yao Chen. He felt that this joy was only meaningful if shared with his Teacher. At this moment, he even forgot about Zhao Li, who had played an indelible role in this great transformation.
"Mm..."
Looking at Xiao Yan's slightly amusing expression, Old Yao smiled and nodded, sighing with emotion. He gently patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Congratulations. You have successfully proven that this Flame Mantra can indeed Devour Heavenly Flames! That means its Potential is virtually unlimited, and your Potential is also unlimited..."
Old Yao's words echoed in his ears. Xiao Yan suddenly felt a bit dizzy from this sudden influx of happiness. The ecstasy on his face was impossible to hide.
After being immersed in ecstasy for a long time, Xiao Yan gradually regained his composure. He turned towards Zhao Li, ready to express his gratitude, but saw Zhao Li wave his hand, stopping his attempt to shout slogans, and said:
"Dou King Cultivation Level, Earth Tier Low Grade Cultivation Technique, and a Heavenly Flame that can definitely rank among the Top Ten in terms of Strength. In this Jia Ma Empire, you can be considered a pretty good expert. We can start now."
Zhao Li wasn't surprised by the evolution of the Cultivation Technique. As early as when he first saw the Flame Mantra, he had already understood the principle of its evolution: using the Rules within the Heavenly Flame to perfect its Route, forming a set of meridians that were most suitable for the cultivator and most easily connected to the world!
It was precisely because it was the most suitable that it allowed the cultivator to display abilities a level higher than ordinary Cultivation Techniques. A Yellow Tier Low Grade technique could be comparable to a Yellow Tier Middle Stage one.
He could feel that among the new meridian routes opened up by the Green Lotus Core Flame within Xiao Yan's body, there were a few meridians unique to Xiao Yan. Although few, they played a crucial role.
Even if Xiao Yan drew out the current Flame Mantra Route and spread it, unless there was someone exactly like him, without those few meridians, others would only be able to cultivate it into a technique that barely reached the Mysterious Tier level!
"It's ingenious, but unfortunately, it's not suitable for me. However, this can be considered a Super Evolution for Xiao Yan, right?"
To say he wasn't envious was naturally impossible. After all, Devouring a Heavenly Flame could upgrade both hardware and software simultaneously. But Zhao Li didn't lose his balance because of this. He just thought about Xiao Yan's state and murmured in his heart.
Hearing Zhao Li directly state his Strength, Xiao Yan was startled, and then filled with ecstasy. Although he knew he was much stronger than before after the great transformation, he wasn't as clear about the specific extent as Zhao Li was.
He didn't doubt that this terrifying Grandmaster could be mistaken. A green light flickered in his dark eyes. With a thought, the Dou Qi within his body suddenly surged out, following a strange meridian Route, and finally erupted from his back.
*"Bang!"*
A pair of green Flame wings suddenly shot out from his back, emitting a muffled sound in this Magma Space. The wings, about a zhang wide, were like phoenix wings, magnificent and stunning.
"Dou Qi Wings, I actually advanced to the Dou King level!"
Xiao Yan slightly tilted his head, looking at the green Flame wings extending from his back. His face was slightly lost in thought. The Azure Fire Seal reflected on his handsome face, which now held a hint of maturity. Then, a slight curve quietly spread from the corner of his mouth...
He wasn't using a flying Dou Technique now, nor was he performing a Secret Method, nor was he borrowing someone else's Strength. This time, he had completely relied on himself to manifest Dou Qi Wings!
He was very clear about what manifesting Dou Qi Wings solely through one's own Strength represented. It meant that from now on, he, Xiao Yan, had truly entered the ranks of the Continent's experts, even if only among the Lower Ranks!
Moreover, he hadn't forgotten that the current Flame Mantra was Earth Tier Low Grade. With its characteristics, it was no less inferior to ordinary Earth Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Techniques. At the Dou King level, how many people could cultivate Earth Tier Cultivation Techniques?
The current Flame Mantra was enough to support him in a full-scale battle. Even Earth-tier Dou Techniques like the Flame Splitting Wave Eating Ruler, even if they couldn't be used as normal attacks, were no longer life-threatening Skills like before. He no longer needed to be cautious and only use them in desperate situations. Now, he could completely use them as minor Skills!
As for the rest...
A fervent look appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes. He understood that while these improvements were significant, compared to the true meaning of this successful breakthrough, they were merely Additional Achievements.
By Devouring the Heavenly Flame, the Flame Mantra had successfully evolved. As Yao Chen said, its Potential was virtually infinite, and his future was also virtually unlimited!
As for Heavenly Flames? He still had two types of Flames in his hands that he hadn't Refined yet, and any one of them could still give him a strong sense of threat. If he could Refine them, then...
Xiao Yan's heart pounded. He didn't dare to think further. He knew that after this time, he couldn't Refine Heavenly Flames for at least half a year, otherwise, it might take several times longer to solidify his foundation, which would be a net loss.
Seeing Xiao Yan's changing expression, Zhao Li and Old Yao exchanged a smile. They didn't interrupt Xiao Yan's joy at this moment, but Zhao Li secretly produced another Memory Stone...
Even Yao Chen didn't notice Zhao Li's small action. He was clearly very happy but forced himself to suppress his joy, only showing a look of relief, which made his expression a bit strange.
After a while, Xiao Yan seemed to have recovered from his joy. Seeing the smiles of the two elders, he felt a little awkward, reached out and rubbed his nose, and said:
"Thank you, Grandmaster, for protecting me. Teacher, it won't be long until you are resurrected!"
This was just a small matter. In Zhao Li's opinion, this matter couldn't compare to the interesting task of preserving precious images of the future Flame Emperor's youthful growth and releasing them at specific times in the future.
Yao Chen nodded in relief but warned him:
"With your Grandmaster protecting you on this trip, there were no surprises or dangers. Don't think that Devouring Heavenly Flames is always this simple. Next time, you won't be this lucky. At that time, the battle for the Heavenly Flame in the Snake People Tribe's Ancestral Land will happen within your body. Any bit of underestimation could leave you without a burial place!"
