Chapter 197: Xun'er Comes Out of Seclusion! Imperial Flame of Origin!
The Ancient World.
On the inheritance altar, a golden flame rose, emitting a majestic and powerful presence that attracted the attention of many elders in the Ancient World.
As soon as this presence was felt, the figure of Gu Yuan appeared on the inheritance altar.
The Golden Flame of the Fentian Emperor was slowly absorbed back into Xun'er's body, who opened her eyes, showing golden flames burning in her pupils.
Seeing her father's figure, a gentle smile appeared on Xun'er's face.
Before accepting the inheritance of the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame, her father was standing before the altar, looking at her expectantly, just as he was now.
Finally, Xun'er completed the inheritance of the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame, fulfilling her father's expectations.
Xun'er stood up and walked towards Gu Yuan. With each step, golden lotus flowers appeared in the air under her feet.
Facing Gu Yuan, Xun'er softly said, "Father, I did it."
"Ha ha, excellent! Today is the day of the competition among the clan's youths. Would you like to participate?"
"...Alright," Xun'er replied after thinking for a moment, nodding slightly.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuan quickly took them to a huge plaza.
The members of the Gu Clan in the plaza were full of energy, watching the fights on the stage attentively, not noticing the arrival of Xun'er and Gu Yuan.
After two clan members finished their combat, Xun'er floated in the air and landed on the stage.
"I just came out of seclusion. Please guide me," Xun'er said.
Xun'er's appearance on the stage provoked intense discussion among the Gu Clan members.
"The young lady is back!"
"I wonder what the young lady's current strength is."
"With the young lady's talent, she's probably already among the most powerful of her generation."
"She's still very young. If given more time, she'll surely surpass them all."
In the midst of the conversation, a figure suddenly appeared on the stage.
"Xun'er, if you don't mind, I'll be your opponent."
"Please," Xun'er responded with a gentle smile.
The spectators watched as the figure launched toward Xun'er.
In the next instant, the stage filled with golden flames, and the figure found themselves defeated on the ground.
"Thank you for your indulgence, Leader Lin," Xun'er said.
"I admit my defeat. Thank you for your restraint," Lin responded, bowing.
The battle ended so quickly that it left the spectators stunned.
Gu Yuan, observing from below, slightly furrowed his brow.
After several more battles, Xun'er lost interest and returned to Gu Yuan's side.
Back in Xun'er's courtyard, Gu Yuan said, "Xun'er, your skills are limited. You won using only the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame. You need to master more combat techniques."
"You became a Dou Wang and inherited the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame without time to practice the clan's techniques. Use this time to train," said Gu Yuan, a peak-level Dou Sheng, capable of detecting more issues.
"I understand, father," Xun'er replied, nodding. In the previous battles, she had relied solely on the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame to win.
"Right now, I have some free time. I'll teach you the Emperor's technique," Gu Yuan offered.
"Yes," Xun'er said happily. Learning from her father wouldn't be difficult.
...
At the top of the Elder's Tower in Dan Tower, black clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared. Powerful lightning snakes intertwined among the clouds.
Inside the Yunling Cauldron, a golden pill was slowly forming.
Xiao Ze changed his hand posture, and his spiritual energy flowed, accelerating the pill's formation.
Waves of powerful energy clashed against the cauldron, releasing a medicinal aroma that made Xiao Ze squint.
'Condense!' Xiao Ze thought.
The Xuanyang Spirit Pill finally formed.
The pill's lightning arrived, a silver bolt descended from the sky, striking the top of the Elder's Tower.
The nearby elders looked up towards Xiao Ze's tower, serious.
The power of this lightning indicated that the pill was of the highest grade among the seventh.
Before, the elders didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ze, who joined the Pill Tower on the recommendation of Xuan Kongzi and Liu Tian. However, now they saw his refining ability as exceptional.
They wondered about Xiao Ze's strength, as he didn't ask for help to resist the lightning.
To their astonishment, the lightning quickly disappeared as it touched the tower, with no energy dispersal.
At the top of the tower, golden roots surrounded Xiao Ze, devouring the lightning.
"With the Origin Tree, I don't need to worry about lightning when refining high-grade pills," Xiao Ze thought, satisfied with the golden pill he had just created.
He checked the system panel.
[Xun'er has fully mastered the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame. Congratulations, you've received a tenfold return!]
[The return includes the special reward of Xun'er's Dou Huang level. You have received the Imperial Flame of Origin!]
"Incredible!"
Xiao Ze was astonished to see the words "Imperial Flame" on the system panel.
Information about the Imperial Flame of Origin was scarce, known only to ancient beings like the Old Dragon King, father of Zi Yan.
Formed in a thousand years, concentrated in ten thousand, and perfected in a hundred thousand...
The Imperial Flame of Origin devoured all the flames on the Exotic Flames List, becoming the first, called the Imperial Flame, the Emperor Flame.
A true Emperor of Flames.
After a thousand years, it broke through and became Dou Di, known as the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.
Xiao Ze was amazed. With the reward from the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame, he had obtained the Imperial Flame.
Although having the Imperial Flame didn't guarantee becoming a Dou Di, its power was immense.
In the Dou Qi continent, anything related to the title of "Emperor" was extraordinary.
