With his legs crossed in the wooden basin, the young man's chest rose and fell slightly, and faint streams of Qi flowed from his nostrils with each breath.
At the same time, gentle energy from the medicinal liquid in the wooden basin slowly flowed into Xiao Yan's body, then transformed into wisps of Dou Qi.
"With the experience of my previous life, my Cultivation speed in this life will be much faster than before."
Xiao Yan's lips curved into a faint smile.
With his tens of thousands of years of Cultivation experience, he could already perfectly control his Physical Body.
How to control his breathing, how to adjust his state to achieve the maximum Cultivation effect—these were things his past self couldn't do.
Therefore, in this life, even for the Cultivation of Dou Qi, Xiao Yan was more than twice as fast as he was in his previous life.
"At this rate, perhaps in half a year at most, I can once again break through to a Dou Master."
Xiao Yan was quite satisfied. The Dou Qi stage of Cultivation was already the slowest stage. After crossing this stage and entering a Dou Master, his Cultivation speed would experience a rapid increase.
"In my previous life, it took me twenty-two years to become a Dou Emperor (excluding special places like the Heavenly Tomb). In this life, I wonder how long it will take me to reach this step."
Xiao Yan stopped thinking and instead calmed his mind, adjusting his body to absorb the medicinal power to the greatest extent, while a majestic and endless flame lotus appeared in his mind.
The Cultivation of the Physical Body could not be relaxed, but the Cultivation of the Soul also had to keep up. In his previous life, he only obtained a crude Soul Cultivation method after reaching the Dan Tower.
But in this life, Xiao Yan possessed a Soul Cultivation method from the very beginning, and it was one of the most top-tier Soul Cultivation methods in the Major Thousand Worlds and even this Universe.
This was a Cultivation Technique created by Xiao Yan himself, named the Emperor Flame Spirit Refining Art. As the name suggests, it uses the power of the Emperor Flame to temper the Soul, making the Soul purer and stronger.
It's just that he currently doesn't even possess a wisp of beast flame, let alone the Emperor Flame. Fortunately, the first layer of Xiao Yan's Emperor Flame Spirit Refining Art only requires contemplation.
After all, this method is not only Cultivated by Xiao Yan himself; many powerhouses in the Major Thousand Worlds also use this secret technique to Cultivate their Divine Soul.
Created by the Flame Emperor, even Heavenly Sovereigns say it's good after using it.
The first stage of the Emperor Flame Spirit Refining Art is the Contemplation Realm. Cultivators will receive a wisp of the Emperor Flame Contemplation Image passed down by the Flame Emperor. Although it is an illusion, it has the miraculous effect of tempering the Soul.
By contemplating the might of the Emperor Flame day and night, the Soul will become purer and stronger day by day.
In fact, when it comes to building a foundation, Yuan Zun Zhou Yuan's "Chaos Divine Grind Contemplation Method" from the Tian Yuan World is more suitable. However, Xiao Yan's Soul Power is currently limited, and it is already very difficult for him to remember the method he created.
He doesn't know when he will be able to recall the "Chaos Divine Grind Contemplation Method."
As he thought this, a majestic flame lotus had already appeared in Xiao Yan's mind.
The flame lotus was beautiful and enchanting, with hundreds of thousands of dense petals. Each petal displayed a different color. Some might have similar colors, but upon closer inspection, they presented completely different auras.
Hundreds of thousands of colors intermingled, presenting a beautiful and dazzling splendor, but beneath this splendid beauty lay a terrifying power that made one tremble.
This was the ultimate form of the Emperor Flame, accumulated by Xiao Yan over tens of thousands of years, finally condensing various powerful flames.
The Emperor Flame floated quietly in the endless Chaos, and its terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding Chaos Void Realm to constantly undergo creation and destruction.
The might of the Emperor Flame can incinerate Gods!
This statement was not empty words. Xiao Yan had truly used the Emperor Flame to incinerate a deity comparable to a Sovereign. It was that battle that established his reputation as the foremost person in the Dao of Flames in this Universe.
In the Late Stage of his Cultivation, Xiao Yan had long since achieved Fusion with the Emperor Flame. The Emperor Flame was him, and he was the Emperor Flame. However, after Rebirth, he had to rely on contemplating himself to enhance his Soul Power, which indeed felt somewhat peculiar.
As his Soul contemplated the Emperor Flame, he truly felt the terrifying pain of being burned by the high temperature. Contemplating the Emperor Flame was not something ordinary Cultivators could do.
That terrifying flame power would make one feel as if their Soul was being scorched, a pain ten times worse than the Physical Body being incinerated.
Once unable to bear this pain, one's Soul could be burned by the terrifying might of the Emperor Flame. Therefore, in the Major Thousand Worlds, even many Supreme and Earth Supreme experts dared not casually Cultivate the Emperor Flame Spirit Refining Art.
However, as the creator of this Cultivation Technique, Xiao Yan naturally had no fear. Had he not experienced the pain of flames burning his Soul enough times? Now, it had long become commonplace for him.
The jade liquid in the wooden basin swirled, and the young man in the basin had a calm expression. Only the pale flame in the old man's hand kept changing.
Sleepless through the night, it wasn't until the first ray of morning sunlight entered the room that the young man slowly opened his eyes.
However, deep within his dark pupils, a wisp of brilliant flame seemed to be slowly flickering.
After getting up and dressing, Elder Yao had already placed four jade bottles on the table by his bedside, then slipped back into the ring to rest.
"Two bottles of Foundation Establishment Divine Liquid and two bottles of Foundation Establishment Liquid. Although not much, these resources should be enough for me to Cultivate for a while."
Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, carefully storing the four bottles of medicinal liquid, then lay on the bed, closing his eyes to rest.
With his current Physical Body quality, he still couldn't go sleepless and foodless; he still needed appropriate rest to replenish himself.
As for the matter of the Foundation Establishment Liquid, there was no rush to sell it. Refining the Medicinal Pill in one night would still be quite astonishing for Ya Fei at this moment.
After resting for a full hour, Xiao Yan stretched, sprang from the bed, and walked out of the room, heading towards the Xiao Family's back mountain.
Having Cultivation alone was not enough; his Physical Body also needed to be tempered, otherwise, this Physical Body was simply too fragile.
It was a pity that he didn't even have Dou Qi now. He had many Body Refining methods but could only rely on the most primitive Physical Body tempering method to refine his body.
For the entire morning, Xiao Yan was searching for and setting up a dedicated training ground for himself.
He rested briefly at noon, and when the weather began to cool down in the afternoon, Xiao Yan began the most rough and simple Physical Body training.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
By evening, as the bright moon began to rise, Xiao Yan was covered in bruises, his small face was dirty, but only his eyes remained bright.
"Young Master, the Patriarch said that today's Family dinner, he wants you to come and eat."
Returning to his small room, he saw an old servant already waiting at his door.
"I understand."
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, quickly cleaned himself, and a moment later appeared in the Family's main dining hall.
The moment he pushed open the door, besides his father Xiao Zhan and a few Elders, dozens of young men and women fixed their eyes on him.
