Three days later, at the headquarters of the Great Demon Sect.

It was still the same courtyard as last time. Yao Yan saw Mu Qianqian who had crushed the jade token. She was still wearing the enchanting long dress. She stood respectfully with a humble attitude. It was only when she saw Yao Yan walk out of the space in front of her that a hint of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Compared to the last abrupt meeting, this time she sensed carefully, but could not sense even the slightest fluctuation of vital energy, as if the power before her appeared out of thin air.

This level of strength is hard to imagine.

Even the legendary powerful person in the realm of life and death might not be able to do this.

“Found it?” Yao Yan looked at Mu Qianqian and asked softly.

“Yes, sir.” Mu Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to continue looking directly at the person in front of her. She said respectfully, and at the same time slapped the Qiankun bag on her waist. With a stream of light flying out, the Yunshen Cushion appeared in front of Yao Yan.

Its shape is no different from that of an ordinary futon, and looking at it from the outside, there is almost nothing special about it.

“I wonder if this is what the adults need?” Mu Qianqian asked. After getting the thing in front of her, she studied it for a while, but apart from the effect of nourishing mental strength, there was no other magical feature.

“It’s this thing. You’ve done a good job. This is the martial arts of creation that I promised you.” Yao Yan’s eyes flashed, and he instantly saw through the ancient Qiankun formation in the Yunshen cushion. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a good mood. Then he flicked his fingers and sent a wisp of mental power into Mu Qianqian’s Niwan Palace.

This martial art was acquired by him from the Tianyan Dynasty. It was called the Soul-Capturing and Soul-Breaking Art, and it was very compatible with the opponent’s naturally charming physique.

Mu Qianqian was quickly immersed in the martial arts of creation, and when she woke up, there was no one in front of her, only an empty house, as if it was a dream. Only the martial arts of creation that emerged in her mind proved that everything that had just happened was real.

She actually obtained a martial art of destiny so easily…

Mu Qianqian was a little absent-minded for a moment, and her mind couldn’t help but try to remember Yao Yan’s voice and appearance, but it was like the moon in a well. The more she wanted to remember it, the more vague it became. An inexplicable sense of trance filled her whole body, as if she had seen the vastness of the world, but still couldn’t jump out of the well she was in.

After all, that man was just a passer-by in her life.

……

Inside the inn.

As soon as Yao Yan returned, the ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ floated out impatiently, with white light flashing around it. The old voice condensed slightly: “It is indeed the Qiankun Ancient Formation, but it’s a pity that the formation spirit and the formation plate have been separated from it, and the power has been greatly reduced.”

The reason why a divine object is a divine object is that its material itself is extremely important. At present, the ability that this array pattern can play is really limited.

Yao Yan smiled but did not comment, because to him, this formation was far more important than the formation spirit and the formation plate. As a wisp of flame emerged from his palm, the soul-enhancing cushion was burned to ashes, revealing the complicated light formation inside. Unlike ordinary formations, there was a ball of life light similar to the core in the center of the Qiankun Ancient Formation.

“Fu Zu is truly a genius…” Yao Yan looked at the complicated light array in his palm. The more he looked at it, the more he discovered the horror of the spiritual array. The ancient Qiankun array before him had actually transformed from an array into an existence similar to a living being.

The kind that truly evolved into living things.

It can be seen how far Fu Zu has come in the field of spiritual formation. Perhaps it is because he has spent too much time and energy on the field of spiritual formation that Fu Zu’s own realm and combat power are not high. Otherwise, how could he be forced to the point of burning himself by the Demon Emperor?

The most crucial point is that Fu Zu should not be the descendant of those super powers in the universe. He is most likely just a casual cultivator without any powerful inheritance. He can only rely on himself for everything.

“My luck is a bit bad.” Yao Yan commented in his heart, and then put the Qiankun Ancient Array into his spiritual space. If the array patterns on the ancestral stone contain the inheritance of Fu Zu, then the Qiankun Ancient Array is undoubtedly Fu Zu’s finest work. This thing is worth his careful study for some time.

The ancestral stone spirit ‘Yan’ thought about the scene when the Qiankun Ancient Array was broken. It remembered that some of the fragments were taken away by the ancestral palace. Perhaps the array spirit and array plate of the Qiankun Ancient Array were among them. Just when it was hesitating whether to reveal these things to Yao Yan, it saw the other party pushing the door and walking out.

It could only restrain its thoughts for the time being and follow.

Yao Yan found Ling Qingzhu who was playing with Jiang Yinyin and said, “Do you have anything else to do in the Great Yan Dynasty? If not, let’s set off to Jiutian Taiqing Palace. If you do, I can wait for you for a few days.”

Ling Qingzhu was stunned when she heard this, then she shook her head slightly and said softly: “No more, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time.”

As for what her cousin asked her to do… she could only make up for it later. Compared with the current matter, what her distant cousin asked her to do was nothing. Ling Qingzhu could still distinguish the importance of it. Besides, she could not do such a thing as letting the senior in front of her wait for her.

“Big brother, what is Jiutian Taiqing Palace?” Jiang Yinyin blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

“Your sister Qingzhu’s sect~” Yao Yan explained with a chuckle, then raised his hand to distort the space, and took the two women to move towards the Jiutian Taiqing Palace. With his speed, they could arrive in half a day at most.

As for the specific location of Jiutian Taiqing Palace… with the young palace master Ling Qingzhu leading the way, we won’t make a mistake.

……

Douqi Continent, Heaven.

Yao Yan was sitting cross-legged in a sea of ​​chaos, with all kinds of strange visions lingering around him, as if a world was constantly appearing and disappearing. The power of creation kept emerging from it, and endless thunder was opened from it. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly opened his eyes, and all the strange visions around him suddenly dissipated. The entire sea of ​​chaos disappeared like an illusion and returned to calm.

“Om~”

As he slowly raised his hand, an object wrapped in endless power of reincarnation was sacrificed.

Its shape is an eighteen-story pagoda, which is black in color. The walls and eaves of the pagoda are ancient bronze, containing endless power of death. Each floor has six white light circles, through which the power of creation and vitality flows, fitting together with the endless power of death.

If someone observes carefully, they will find that there are countless marks of true spirits constantly revolving in it, as if they are sinking into it.

The Hades Tower!

This is a magical object that Yao Yan created by using the Heavenly Tomb as the material and integrating it with the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion. It also integrates the ancestral stone array pattern and the reincarnation path he comprehended, which can revive the true spirit marks inside it and walk the world again. As for how much strength can be restored, it still needs to be tested. As Yao Yan’s mind moved, the Dark Tower began to rotate, and six terrifying reincarnation halos emerged from the void. The terrifying power of reincarnation surged from it. At the same time, the energy of the heaven and earth in this void began to swarm and gather, gradually turning into a human figure.

It turned out to be the figure of Xiao Xuan, who was dressed in a dark black robe. His temperament was no longer as elegant as before, but rather a little eerie, without a trace of life. He was like a ghost that walked out of the underworld and should not exist in this world.

As Xiao Xuan’s true spirit flickered between his eyebrows, Xiao Xuan’s lifeless eyes gradually became lively, and a powerful fighting spirit instantly vibrated out.

“The peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint? Not bad~” Yao Yan nodded with satisfaction. Unlike the energy body of the Heavenly Tomb, with the help of the power of reincarnation, Xiao Xuan’s strength has been infinitely close to his former peak. However, because he has no physical body, his combat power is ultimately not as good as when he was alive. But even so, it also exceeded his expectations.

The power of reincarnation is indeed an extremely terrifying force. With his current level of cultivation, even if he can only comprehend part of it, it is enough to reverse yin and yang and tamper with life and death.

Xiao Xuan looked around in a daze, then clenched his fists. A look of bewilderment emerged in his eyes, and finally fell on Yao Yan. Some of his memories from his previous life gradually recovered. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, “Did you resurrect me?”

“An attempt… When the senior died, he left behind a soul mark that I captured. It happened that I have recently mastered some of the power of reincarnation, so I decided to give it a try.” Yao Yan nodded slightly and said softly.

“This is not a true resurrection…” Xiao Xuan was not an ordinary person during his lifetime, so he naturally quickly realized his own condition. The flesh and blood in his body were not real, but a kind of energy from heaven and earth. This kind of resurrection was just a more advanced energy body, blessed with a kind of reincarnation power.

“Of course, if I want to truly resurrect you, I can do it with my current level, but the cost is too high… But if you are willing to work for me for a thousand years, I can truly resurrect you.” Yao Yan looked at Xiao Xuan and said calmly.

“You have broken through to the Dou Emperor!” Xiao Xuan did not answer Yao Yan’s question. Instead, he looked at Yao Yan solemnly. He did not expect that the other party could actually go this far. Since the other party successfully broke through to the Dou Emperor, it meant that both Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan had failed.

“Thanks to the clan leader for his help.” Yao Yan was brief and to the point, with no intention of discussing in detail.

Emperor Hun Tian will help you?!

Xiao Xuan felt like he had heard an interesting joke, but the content of this sentence was enough for him to ponder. After a while, he continued to ask, “How is the Xiao clan?”

“According to the agreement made with my predecessors, I helped Xiao Ning break through to the Douluo Saint level, and then rescued Xiao Chen from the Demon Fire Space. Unfortunately, they were both captured by the Void Devouring Flame later. In order to obtain the Xiao family’s ancient jade, they were both sacrificed by the Void Devouring Flame.” Yao Yan had no intention of hiding anything and said it directly.

“Failed again?” Xiao Xuan didn’t have too many thoughts after hearing that. He had done what he should do. Xiao Ning and Xiao Chen were unwilling to hide their identities and preserve the bloodline of the Xiao clan, which led to them being captured by the Void Devouring Flame for a blood sacrifice. He had no way to deal with this.

A dead person can’t do anything.

What’s more.

His Xiao clan had disappeared thousands of years ago. The current Xiao family has little to do with the former Xiao clan as the time gap is too long. In order to preserve a line of blood, he waited in the Heavenly Tomb for a thousand years, but the so-called hope was just an illusory dream.

“What do you want me to do?” Xiao Xuan was silent for a long time before asking again.

“No hurry, let’s wait until I resurrect the patriarch.” Yao Yan controlled the Nether Tower again, released the true spirit of Emperor Hun Tian from it, and began to imitate and revive Emperor Hun Tian.

Xiao Xuan watched all this with his eyes flickering. He could feel his connection with this pagoda, just like when he was in the Heavenly Tomb. However, he was strong enough to break free of the shackles back then, but now, he couldn’t do it. He even felt that his thoughts were shackled, as if something had been branded on him.

“Om~”

Soon, the figure of Emperor Hun Tian also emerged, and his strength was also at the peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint, and he had not yet broken through to the Half-Emperor level. This might be because he originally broke through using the Emperor Grade Young Pill.

He had just woken up and his eyes narrowed. After taking a look at Yao Yan, he glanced at Xiao Xuan beside him. He suddenly felt a sense of absurdity as if he had met an old friend.

“Hehe, I didn’t expect to see you again, and in this form…” The words were spoken lightly, with a hint of self-mockery.

“I also didn’t expect that you would lose to your junior. He said that he was able to break through to the Dou Di level, and it was all thanks to you?” Xiao Xuan looked at his former ‘old friend’, there was not much anger in his tone, only calmness and indifference. With strength at their level and having experienced life and death, there was nothing that he couldn’t see through.

What’s more, they are the same kind of people.

The corner of Emperor Hun Tian’s mouth twitched, and he looked at Yao Yan again, whom he didn’t want to face. The scenes before his death emerged in his mind. Finally, he smiled softly and said with relief: “It’s not unfair to lose. This kid is more ruthless than I was back then. Most importantly, he is very good at hiding. Until the last step, you may not know what level he is at!”

“Thank you for your praise, Patriarch. I’m just a little afraid of death.” Yao Yan said with a modest smile.

“Now that I think about it, it is indeed true. I have been at the top for too long and have lost my sense of awe. I have even forgotten one thing… Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. I should have eliminated all of you variables back then.” Emperor Hun Tian said slowly with an indifferent look in his eyes.

He really regretted this. He had many opportunities originally, but he trusted his own abilities too much, so Yao Yan stole the opportunity.

“Tell me, you evil Soul Clan kid, what do you want to do? You even don’t let the dead go!” Xiao Xuan stared at Yao Yan with a somewhat cold look. The arrogance of being a former powerful man made him unwilling to bow to a junior. Even if the other party broke through to the Dou Di, what was there to be afraid of a dead person?

Emperor Hun Tian looked at Yao Yan with great interest. For him, being able to come back to life again was a good thing, and he might still have hope of a comeback.

“You two have impure thoughts and need to be purified~” Yao Yan could clearly feel Xiao Xuan and Emperor Hun Tian’s thoughts. He shook his head slightly, sighed, and immediately began to control the Nether Tower to deepen the imprint.

Suddenly, the way the two looked at Yao Yan began to change. Even though they were the strongest and most arrogant in their lifetime, they were now just a special energy body. How could they withstand such an extremely domineering will?

In an instant, the proud head lowered, and at the same time, he saluted to Yao Yan in a respectful manner: “Greetings, Lord Ming!”

“The awareness of the two seniors is still good.” Yao Yan nodded with satisfaction.

Xiao Xuan and Emperor Hun Tian were silent. Even if they had other ideas in their minds, they seemed to be affected by something the moment they arose and forgot about them. At the same time, they looked at Yao Yan as if they were looking at some supreme being, with only respect and admiration.
