893. A great harvest
As the ancient clan's essence blood within Xiao Yan's body was activated, Xiao Yan's already enhanced aura was amplified once again, rising directly from the late stage of a one-star Dou Sheng to the peak of a one-star Dou Sheng!
It really works!
Xiao Yan's eyes also shone with ecstasy. Although the boost was not as great as the Xiao Clan's clan mark, and he only barely reached the peak of the One-Star Dou Sheng realm, it was still a real boost! He had successfully acquired two clan marks!
"Hiss—" This time, Xiao Xuan was shocked by the clan mark and couldn't help but gasp. This was completely beyond his understanding of the clan mark itself. Xiao Yan's gains from advancing to Dou Sheng were far greater than he had expected.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao Yan! This ability is more valuable than any Heaven-Rank Battle Technique!" Xun'er's beautiful eyes shone with admiration as she sincerely congratulated Xiao Yan.
Seeing Xiao Yan's change, Huo Zhi had an idea form in her mind and asked Xiao Xuan, "Senior Xiao Xuan, what about my Yan Clan's clan emblem? Can Xiao Yan use it?"
Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Based on the current situation, I should be able to use the clan emblems of the Spirit Clan, Thunder Clan, Flame Clan, and Ancient Clan. However, I cannot try it here in the Heavenly Tomb. I do not know how to draw the clan emblems of the other clans, and I only learned the Ancient Clan's emblem for reference when I was studying my own clan's emblem."
Clan crests are one of the greatest secrets of a clan. Although only those with the corresponding bloodline can use them, they are almost never leaked.
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhi replied almost without hesitation to Xiao Yan, "After leaving the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Yan, you can come with me to the Yan Clan. My clan will definitely agree to help you outline and condense the runes, and then you will have the blessing of three clan runes!"
Xiao Yan, feeling his current strength at the peak of the One-Star Dou Sheng realm, nodded. As the user of this ability, he knew best the incredible power of multiple clan markings. The mere superposition of the Xiao Clan and Gu Clan markings had propelled him from the mid-stage of the One-Star Dou Sheng realm to its peak.
If I can collect all five clan emblems at the same time in the future, the instantaneous growth rate will be even more astonishing, and fighting across stars at the Dou Sheng level will no longer be a dream.
Once you reach the Dou Sheng realm, even the difference between the early and middle stages is enormous, let alone cross-star combat. Every expert who can cultivate to the Dou Sheng realm possesses talent, perseverance, and exceptional opportunities. If Xiao Yan, at the Dou Sheng realm, could achieve cross-star combat using his clan's markings, he would no longer be just a simple genius, but an anomaly capable of shaking the entire Dou Qi Continent!
Xiao Yan now understood that his mission had expanded to include collecting the clan emblems of the other clans. The Flame Clan's emblem was the easiest to obtain, needless to say. As for the Thunder Clan's emblem, given his relationship with Lei Jingxiao, he could potentially acquire it by paying a certain price. Only the Spirit Clan's emblem remained; with their irreconcilable blood feud, obtaining it would be far more difficult.
However, even with the enhancement of the four races' markings, its power will definitely not be small.
"You little fellow, you are truly blessed with extraordinary opportunities and good fortune, not to be underestimated!" Xiao Xuan exclaimed sincerely. He had only spent a short time with Xiao Yan, but he had already seen through Xiao Yan several times.
"Ancestor, you flatter me. I have to thank you for your efforts. Without you, I would never have comprehended this ability." Xiao Yan thanked him again. Without Xiao Xuan's pioneering attempt, he would have only obtained the essence of the Xiao clan and been able to use the clan's emblem.
Xiao Xuan nodded slightly and handed the black flame in his hand to Xiao Yan. As Xiao Yan looked at the somewhat calm black flame, a strange feeling instantly came over him. This black flame was completely different from the one he had controlled before!
The restlessness and ferocity of the black flame vanished completely; now it was a tamed and docile flame.
"Within the black flames, there was another person's soul imprint. He could use these black flames to know your whereabouts at any time if he wanted. However, I have now removed it. The sub-flame cannot be refined into the original flame. You only need to leave your own unique soul imprint within it to completely control it and have no more worries."
"Thank you, Ancestor." A huge weight was finally lifted from Xiao Yan's heart.
With Xiao Xuan's help, Xiao Yan can now use the Black Flame without any worries. This thing has always been a double-edged sword. The Void Devouring Flame can not only devour everything but also possesses its own consciousness, previously a method Xiao Yan relied heavily on. However, the Black Flame's unpredictability is too great, and its lack of complete resolution remains a hidden danger. From now on, this incredibly powerful Black Flame will become one of Xiao Yan's reliable trump cards.
Xiao Xuan did not stop. He flipped his palm again, and a white pupa about the size of a fist, with a warm and jade-like luster, appeared in his palm.
"And this too."
"This is the queen of the ancient devouring insects that you encountered when you entered the Heavenly Tomb. Your observation is correct; it is the absolute leader of the ancient devouring insects. This pupa is the core material for making the Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe. I have been working hard to finish refining it these days. You can absorb it by dripping your essence blood on it."
"The Ancient Insect Emperor's Robe, what are its effects?"
"After you absorb it, the Insect Emperor's Robe will cover your body, providing excellent defense. As for its effect, it can ignore almost all attacks below the level of Dou Sheng, and even weaken the attack of a one-star Dou Sheng. Moreover, you can repair it with Dou Qi, so you don't have to worry about it breaking after one use."
After listening to Xiao Xuan's detailed explanation, Xiao Yan's eyes showed considerable satisfaction. In terms of attack methods, he possessed Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques, Heaven-Rank Soul Techniques, and the top-tier trump card, the Fusion Fire Lotus.
However, defense has always been his weak point. His only reliance is the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies formed after fusing with the Bloodstone Clay Golem, allowing him to physically withstand attacks. This Ancient Insect Emperor Robe not only offers excellent defense but can also be reused repeatedly, making it practically tailor-made for his current situation.
The battles after becoming a Dou Sheng will be even more intense than before. Only by becoming well-rounded can one gain the upper hand in the battle.
"Once you absorb and refine this Insect Emperor's Robe, then brand your soul with the Black Flame Sub-Fire..."
Xiao Xuan looked out into the space, a smile appearing on his lips. A sharp killing intent flashed across his previously calm body.
"It's time to go see those two old friends. There are some old grudges, thousands of years old. If we don't settle them now, they might be forgotten."
