He must possess powerful hidden methods.
I hope that this time, you can escape the pursuit of the Xuan Bone and safely survive this calamity."
As Han Li gazed in the direction where Tang San had departed, a complicated expression flickered deep within his eyes.
Yes—what left with Tang San was nothing more than a shadow clone.
However, that clone contained the majority of Han Li's spiritual power and was capable of using many of his techniques.
He had even entrusted it with puppets and Gold-Eating Insects.
The reason he went to such lengths was simple.
He wanted to confirm whether the events inside the ancient cultivation ruins would unfold exactly as described in the cultivation novel Zhu Chen had given him.
In doing so, he could further verify both the novel's accuracy and the trajectory of his own future.
As for why he had summoned Tang San for assistance, there were two reasons.
First, he wanted to use this ancient cultivation cave to test Tang San's true strength.
If Tang San truly possessed power befitting the title of "Venerable," then Jin Qing might successfully escape danger and overcome this tribulation.
But if Tang San proved insufficient and perished here, then a hidden threat within the chat group would be eliminated.
After all, this person was greedy, sinister, and already hostile toward him. Keeping such an individual around would only invite future trouble.
Better to remove the problem now.
Meanwhile.....
In the Doupo World.
After closing the chat group, Xiao Yan began a new day of cultivation under Yao Lao's guidance.
Because Xiao Yan had learned many techniques from other worlds through the chat group, Yao Lao adjusted his teaching approach accordingly.
In terms of cultivation methods, Xiao Yan was instructed to continue focusing on the Burning Technique.
However, when it came to combat skills, Yao Lao directed him to prioritize Zhu Chen's Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique.
Xiao Yan had downloaded this divine ability through the chat group, gaining direct access to Zhu Chen's comprehension and insights.
Although he could only unleash the first four strikes of the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique, even that level of power far exceeded both his and Yao Lao's expectations.
Yao Lao felt that using the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler would now be nothing short of embarrassing.
The first four strikes of the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique alone were already comparable to a Heaven-rank combat skill.
If all ten strikes were unleashed, its power might even surpass Heaven-rank entirely.
Why abandon such a divine ability to learn some broken Earth-rank technique?
More importantly, both the Burning Technique and the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique were fire-attributed divine arts, perfectly complementing each other.
If Xiao Yan specialized in this path, his future achievements would far surpass the ending of Battle Through the Heavens.
What was a Soul Emperor?
A trivial existence.
My disciple is destined to become a Dou Di!
"Hm?"
Just as Yao Lao was lost in fantasy, a powerful Dou Huang aura suddenly entered his perception.
"Could it be… that female Dou Huang has arrived?"
Yao Lao's expression turned solemn as he immediately pulled Xiao Yan out of cultivation.
At that moment, above the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a graceful figure clad in azure robes appeared, Dou Huang wings unfurled as she flew past at astonishing speed.
Master and disciple were instantly drawn to the faintly visible, snow-white peaks beneath her robes.
"What an overwhelming aura!"
Xiao Yan and Yao Lao exclaimed in unison.
As the female Dou Huang vanished beyond the horizon, Yao Lao suddenly smirked, nudged Xiao Yan with his elbow, and laughed mischievously.
"Kid, your opportunity has arrived. Go refine a few more bottles of aphrodisiacs."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's brows immediately furrowed.
He already knew that Yun Yun was Nalan Yanran's master—how could he possibly take advantage of her?
He wiped the blood from his nose, took a deep breath, and replied seriously, "Master, although I'm no saint, I would never take advantage of someone in their weakest moment. If I did, wouldn't you look down on me?"
Good lad! You truly have the bearing of my younger self!"
Yao Lao had not expected his newly accepted disciple to possess such integrity, and his admiration for Xiao Yan deepened further.
If Xiao Yan had actually accepted his earlier suggestion, Yao Lao wouldn't have said much.....but he certainly wouldn't have respected him as much as he did now.
After all, the "Xiao Yan" in the novel had stumbled into a misunderstanding with Yun Yun without knowing her identity.
But the situation now was completely different.
