Upon hearing the voice, everyone trembled. They looked towards the source and saw a handsome figure walking through the air.
"Brother Xiao Tian!" they exclaimed respectfully upon seeing him. They held Xiao Tian in high regard, not only for his immense strength and status as an alchemist but also for the numerous cultivation pills he had provided them.
"You're all here!" Xiao Tian smiled. He then turned to Xiao Yan and said, "Alright, let's head back to the Jia Ma Empire!"
Xiao Yan asked, "Brother Xiao Tian, will we make it in time?"
"We'll be there in a moment," Xiao Tian replied.
"A moment?" Everyone was puzzled and skeptical. Without further explanation, Xiao Tian waved his sleeve and he and Xiao Yan disappeared.
They arrived at a secluded place where Xiao Tian summoned a Spatial Gate.
"Let's go. This gate leads to the Jia Ma Empire," Xiao Tian said, stepping through. Xiao Yan curiously followed.
Inside the space, Xiao Tian noticed a river brimming with terrifying energy and a giant beast with wings on its back above the river. The beast exuded an overwhelming aura, like a divine presence.
"Brother Xiao Tian, what is this?" Xiao Yan asked in shock.
Xiao Tian laughed and said, "This is Tian Yao Diao, but you can call him Xiao Diao."
"It's Diao Ye!" the beast spoke.
In a flash of purple light, the beast shrank rapidly, transforming into a handsome, somewhat androgynous young man.
"A shapeshifting magical beast!" Xiao Yan thought to himself. "This must be at least a seventh-tier beast."
Outwardly, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Diao... Diao Ye!"
"Not bad, kid. You're the first to call me Diao Ye!" Xiao Diao nodded. "I'll look out for you from now on."
Xiao Tian asked, "Xiao Diao, how much have you recovered?"
Xiao Diao thought for a moment and said, "I should be at the Dou Zun level now."
"Dou Zun?" Xiao Yan was stunned. He had thought Xiao Diao was a Dou Zong-level beast, but he had underestimated him. A Dou Zun was powerful enough to dominate the entire northwest region.
Moreover, Xiao Diao seemed to be recovering from injuries. If fully healed, he would be even more terrifying.
"By the way," Xiao Tian said suddenly, "I can refine a Fuling Qing Dan for you. It's specifically for restoring cultivation. It might help you recover faster."
Xiao Diao was delighted. "Xiao Tian, that would be great. Thank you!"
"Alright, I'll gather the materials when we get back," Xiao Tian nodded and turned to Xiao Yan. "Let's go."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Tian," Xiao Yan replied eagerly.
They exited the Spatial Gate and found themselves outside the Jia Ma Imperial City. Looking at the huge city, Xiao Yan asked, "Brother Xiao Tian, where are we?"
"This is Jia Ma Sacred City," Xiao Tian replied. Pointing north, he said, "See that massive mountain range? Yun Lan Sect is on top of it."
"Yun Lan Sect! Nalan Yanran!" Xiao Yan turned to face the hidden mountain peak, his body trembling with determination.
Xiao Tian patted his shoulder. "It's not time yet. Stay in an inn in Jia Ma Sacred City for a few days."
"Yes, Brother Xiao Tian," Xiao Yan nodded.
"Oh, you don't seem to have a proper weapon yet," Xiao Tian remarked. "What kind of weapon do you need?"
Xiao Yan responded, "I've been practicing a sword technique, so I need a sword."
"A sword, huh? Alright," Xiao Tian said, flipping his hand to reveal a long sword radiating a fiery red glow. He handed it to Xiao Yan and said, "This is the Fiery Sword, a high-level spiritual treasure. Fully utilized, it can unleash attacks at the Dou Huang level."
"A sword with Dou Huang-level attacks?" Xiao Yan was incredulous. In the Dou Qi Continent, the path of crafting was primitive, and the best weapons only slightly enhanced attacks.
Xiao Tian smiled. "I said fully utilized. With your current strength, you can probably only wield Dou Wang-level attacks."
"It's too valuable. I can't accept it," Xiao Yan said, trying to refuse.
"Just take it," Xiao Tian said, tossing the sword to Xiao Yan and tapping his forehead. "You need to refine this spiritual treasure to use it. I've taught you the method."
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Tian!" Xiao Yan said, elated.
"Alright, head to the inn. I'll show up for the challenge," Xiao Tian said, stepping into the void and disappearing.
"Spatial power!" Xiao Yan thought, amazed. "Brother Xiao Tian has broken through to the Dou Zong level. He truly is the greatest in the Xiao family!"
...
Yun Lan Sect was the premier sect of the Jia Ma Empire. Although it never interfered in political affairs, the royal families of various dynasties feared this powerful entity. As Xiao Tian flew towards Yun Lan Mountain, he saw an elite army stationed at its base, clearly a precaution by the Jia Ma royal family against Yun Lan Sect. Ignoring them, he stepped into the void again.
Deep within Yun Lan Sect, in a quiet courtyard, a little girl in a white dress was running around happily. She looked about two years old, adorably innocent, with a face full of pure joy. As she ran, she called out, "Mother, come chase me!"
A graceful figure in a moon-white dress followed her with small steps. The dress highlighted her alluring curves as she chased the little girl. After a while, the girl got tired and sat on the ground.
"The ground is dirty, Yun Xiao. You shouldn't sit on it," the woman said, picking her up.
At that moment, the void fluctuated, and Xiao Tian emerged. Seeing the woman, he spoke softly, "Yun'er, I'm back."
Hearing his voice, the woman in the moon-white dress trembled and turned around, revealing a beautiful, elegant face. It was Yun Yun. Seeing Xiao Tian smiling at her, her eyes became misty.
