Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Burning Resolve

Seeing the extremely determined look on Xiao Yi's face, even a powerhouse like Xiao Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

After all, Xiao Xuan had fallen a thousand years ago, and during these thousand years, the thought of revival was not something Xiao Xuan had never considered.

"Alas... Little Fellow, revive?"

"Who wouldn't want a vibrant Physical Body? Unfortunately, I am just a wisp of remnant Soul now, so it's probably impossible..."

A strange look flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes, and then he burst into hearty laughter.

After all, after a thousand years, Xiao Xuan had long since grown indifferent to revival.

Now, Xiao Xuan's heart held only one thought: to see the Xiao Clan rise again.

However, hearing Xiao Xuan say this, Xiao Yi's face remained extremely serious: "Ancestor, the Fighting Qi Continent is so vast, we can surely find Spirit Medicine to restore your Soul Origin..."

"Moreover, as long as we can refine a Physical Body capable of bearing your Soul Power, plus high-grade Medicinal Pills, reviving Ancestor doesn't seem entirely impossible..."

After all, Xiao Xuan's Half-step Dou Di strength was truly terrifying; if he could be revived, the Xiao Family's strength would be unimaginable.

However, Xiao Xuan merely smiled faintly at his words:

"Little Fellow, your idea is quite good, but do you know how difficult it is to forge a Physical Body capable of containing the Soul of a Half-step Dou Di powerhouse?"

"Forget it, just thinking about it is enough. The most urgent matter now is for you, Little Fellow, to properly learn this Cultivation Technique and improve your strength..."

"This Dou Practitioner Realm is indeed a bit low..."

Xiao Xuan waved his hand, not wanting to continue the conversation.

Xiao Yi nodded in response.

Indeed, with his current strength, even if all the Materials were available, reviving Xiao Xuan would be highly improbable.

However, for refining a Physical Body, the Burning Technique's ability to devour different fires was indispensable.

If Xiao Yi were to Cultivate this Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique now, wouldn't he lose all his Dou Qi if he changed Cultivation Techniques later?

"Ancestor, if I start Cultivating this Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique now, what should I do if I want to Cultivate other Cultivation Techniques later?"

Xiao Yi looked up at Xiao Xuan and asked in a deep voice.

After all, changing Cultivation Techniques mid-Cultivation would result in losing all one's cultivation.

However, Xiao Xuan heard this and remained unperturbed, calmly saying:

"Little Fellow, rest assured. Cultivate this Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique with peace of mind. This Seat guarantees that you will still be able to Cultivate other Cultivation Techniques later without your cultivation changing!"

Seeing Xiao Xuan's extremely confident demeanor, Xiao Yi didn't dally. After all, given Xiao Xuan's terrifying strength, he would never deceive him.

Immediately, Xiao Yi began to Cultivate the Cultivation Technique he had just acquired, the Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique!

The moonlight was hazy.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in the cave, clutching the "Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique" in his palm.

The characters detailing the Cultivation methods on this Earth-rank Cultivation Method flickered in the moonlight, as if wisps of crimson Spiritual Qi seeped from between the pages.

"Little Fellow, Cultivate diligently. Although this is just an introductory Cultivation Technique, for you right now, it offers many benefits..."

Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi and reminded him softly.

Xiao Yi nodded.

He took a deep breath and, following the incantation, activated his Dantian Qi Sea.

Initially, there was no movement.

"Little Fellow, concentrate!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan gently reminded him.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi forcefully circulated the Dou Qi within his body.

Instantly, a scorching, needle-like Qi current suddenly surged into his Meridians.

Xiao Yi's body tensed abruptly, veins pulsed on his forehead, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

The hot current surged wildly, like a red-hot iron rod stirring in his blood vessels, every inch of his Meridians felt as if it were being torn apart.

"Hold on! You've entered the getting Started!"

Xiao Xuan floated in mid-air, constantly monitoring Xiao Yi's condition.

When necessary, he would also offer guidance.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Xiao Yi panted heavily, his fingertips turning pale from gripping too tightly.

The phrase "Heart Fire self-generates, Crimson Sun begins to burn" recorded in the Cultivation Technique echoed repeatedly in Xiao Yi's mind.

Enduring the severe pain, Xiao Yi once again condensed his Dou Qi.

He attempted to tame the self-generated Heart Fire within his body.

This time, a faint glow finally appeared around Xiao Yi's body, and a very pale crimson flame flickered in his Meridians.

That was the Heart Fire!

However, that seemingly stable Heart Fire erupted the next second, and a more violent burning pain swept through his entire body, causing Xiao Yi's vision to blacken and nearly making him fall.

Xiao Yi bit his lower lip hard, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth.

"Little Fellow, hold on, this is the most crucial step!"

"Rather burn oneself than extinguish the Heart Fire!"

Xiao Xuan also saw Xiao Yi's current state and said in a deep voice.

Seeing Xiao Yi's extremely pained expression, Xiao Xuan almost wished he could take his place in Cultivation at this moment.

Xiao Yi trembled as he readjusted his breathing, once again following the incantation and circulating the Cultivation Technique.

However, that wisp of crimson flame remained unstable.

"Stabilize for me!"

Xiao Yi exerted all his strength and roared.

Finally, with Xiao Yi's persistence, the Heart Fire barely circulated halfway along his Meridians.

It could be considered stable.

At this point, Xiao Yi was already exhausted, his entire body drenched in sweat.

"Hoo..."

"This Earth-rank Cultivation Method is truly not easy..."

Xiao Yi panted heavily, unable to help but sigh.

Xiao Xuan, seeing this, nodded with great satisfaction.

"Little Fellow, your talent is quite good..."

"You've only just started learning and can already condense Heart Fire. Not bad, not bad, though still a bit inferior to me back then..."

"Being able to condense Heart Fire means, in a strict sense, you can officially begin learning this Cultivation Technique..."

"After all, only by condensing Heart Fire can one ignite flames and absorb the energy of heavenly and earthly fires..."

"With the Cultivation Technique's enhancement, plus your talent, Little Fellow, your Cultivation speed should be considerably faster in the future..."

"Reaching the Dou King Realm earlier means countless Opportunities await you in the future!"

Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with appreciation for Xiao Yi.

"Little Fellow, how about we stop here for today?"

Xiao Xuan looked up at the waning moon suspended in the sky and spoke softly.

Xiao Yi slowly got up and shook his head: "Ancestor, don't worry, I can still continue..."

"Since I've just condensed Heart Fire today, I'll take the Opportunity to practice my spear techniques!"

As Xiao Yi's words fell, a cold light flashed on the storage ring on his fingertip, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear appeared in response.

Xiao Yi immediately began practicing his spear techniques on his own.

Xiao Xuan saw this and said nothing more.

He simply smiled and nodded as he watched Xiao Yi's figure under the moonlight.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan seemed to see his own shadow from back then in Xiao Yi.

Back then, Xiao Xuan was also full of youthful vigor, reaching the Dou Zun Realm at fifteen.

In an era where Geniuses emerged in droves, Xiao Xuan still became the most outstanding among his peers.

He took on the heavy responsibility of Clan Chief early on and, to revitalize the Xiao Clan, resolutely decided to challenge the supreme Dou Di Realm.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of Source Qi, he ultimately failed.

Xiao Xuan's mind was like a revolving lantern at this moment, reviewing his magnificent life.

Yet, he felt no regret.

Because this was Xiao Xuan's style: regardless of success or failure, he simply followed his Origin!

Now, seeing Xiao Yi's figure, Xiao Xuan felt as if he had finally found his Legacy.

"If this child can continue like this, he will surely possess the demeanor of a Dou Di in the future!"

"My Xiao Clan has hope of returning to its Peak!"

Xiao Xuan murmured softly, a slight smile playing on his lips...
