Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

"If Emperor Yan is willing, we naturally have no objection."

The Ninth Divine Lord felt slightly annoyed, but he didn't say anything more.

They didn't have any deep-seated hatred for Xiao Yan. The reason they disliked him was simply because they were a little jealous of the treatment Xiao Yan received at the Dao Integration Realm.

Since Xiao Yan took the initiative to participate, they naturally had no objections.

The other powerful figures who originally disliked Xiao Yan were slightly bewildered when they saw him speak directly. However, they were naturally quite happy when they thought that this would allow them to witness the strength of this guy.

"Emperor Yan, although there are many treasures in that ancient world, there are also many powerful figures from the demon god camp. Even though you are a world god, you must be careful of the dangers there."

Seeing Xiao Yan's decisive desire to enter the Ancient Hidden World, Chu Qing, a top world god in the Tianyuan Realm, couldn't help but remind him.

Why does the ancient Tibetan world open only once every ten thousand years, and why is it called "opening"?
This is because the origin of this world is extremely chaotic and is not suitable for ordinary living beings to survive. To survive here for a long time, one needs at least the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign.

However, under normal circumstances, each time the Ancient Hidden World opens, it is a group of powerful beings at the level of gods who enter it, mainly the Primordial Gods and World Gods. Creator Gods and above are not allowed to enter. This is a rule set by seventeen Dao Integration Realm experts from the two major camps.

This ancient Tibetan world has become a battlefield at the level of gods. Each time it opens, the demon god camp and the righteous god camp send a large number of world gods and nascent gods into it.

Besides plundering large amounts of source crystals and acquiring some treasures, the world gods of these two factions have an even more important task: to kill the gods of the opposing faction.

Yes, every time the Ancient Tibetan World opens, apart from the extremely valuable treasures left in the Ancient Tibetan Emperor's cave, the truly valuable things are actually the corpses of enemy gods.

The corpse of a nascent god, if converted into energy, would be enough to give birth to several supercontinents, while the corpse of a world god contains more than ten times the energy of a nascent god.

Besides, the armor, weapons, and various treasures on these gods are more valuable than their corpses.

Therefore, this is the true treasure of the ancient Tibetan world.

The Ancient Tibetan World, though said to be a land of opportunities and treasures, has in reality become a battlefield for numerous gods from two major factions.

Since it is a battlefield, while slaying other gods, there is naturally also the risk of being slain by other gods.

Therefore, while the ancient Tibetan world is a great place to acquire wealth, it is also extremely dangerous.

Xiao Yan had some understanding of this in his previous life. However, without the Creator God appearing, it seemed that no World God in this universe could truly threaten him.

Therefore, this ancient and vast world is destined to become a treasure land for Xiao Yan to recover to the Creation Realm.

"Thank you for your concern, Realm God Chu Qing. Since I am willing to enter, I am naturally confident."

Xiao Yan nodded to the bald World God Chu Qing, who looked at Xiao Yan, opened his mouth, glanced at Yuan Zun, and then closed his mouth again.

Because he saw that Yuan Zun was not worried about Xiao Yan at all because of the dangers of the Ancient Hidden World; on the contrary, he had a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Chu Qing, the God of the Realm, naturally said no more. He trusted his former junior brother, now the master of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

After the banquet, many world gods, during their conversation with Xiao Yan, discovered that this Flame Emperor was indeed not as simple as they had imagined. A group of people, including the Ninth God Lord, slightly restrained their dissatisfaction with Xiao Yan, but were even more eager to see how Xiao Yan would perform after arriving in the Ancient Hidden Great World.

After the banquet ended, Xiao Yan prepared to return to his residence, but as he stepped out of the palace, he was blocked by a figure in golden robes.

"Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan, please wait."

The Golden Cloud Ancestor had appeared before Xiao Yan at some point, his usually imposing face now forced into a smile, seemingly with a hint of ingratiation.

"Ancestor Jinxiao?"

Xiao Yan paused slightly, looking at the Golden Cloud Ancestor with some curiosity.

This old guy seemed to have been winking at me throughout the banquet; I wondered what he was up to.

"Emperor Yan."

Jin Xiao Patriarch looked at Xiao Yan, who had already vaguely guessed what was going on. His face had become expressionless, showing no emotion.

Sure enough, Ancestor Jinxiao spoke up the next moment.

"Emperor Yan, my good-for-nothing son offended you three days ago, and even spoke rudely, daring to talk wildly about the hometown of the Great Thousand Emperor. I was quite terrified after learning about this."

Today, I have brought this rebellious son to apologize to you, Emperor Yan.

"It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly, allowing this unfilial son to do such a wicked thing."

After Jin Xiao Patriarch finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a figure was sent out from his sleeve.

If even a Heavenly Sovereign can refine a space into a weapon, how much more so would an Ancestor like Jin Xiao?

Having reached the level of world gods, they all have some mastery of the Dao of Space, so hiding someone inside would naturally not be a problem.

This figure was none other than Jin Hong, the golden-armored youth from that day.

Jin Hong had clearly been severely disciplined by Ancestor Jin Xiao over the past three days. Upon seeing Xiao Yan, he recognized him immediately and knelt down with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I was short-sighted that day and dared to speak so disrespectfully. Please forgive me."

Faced with a life-or-death threat, Jin Hong clearly knew what he wanted. After saying this, he slammed his forehead down and prostrated himself on the ground.

"This"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised. Just as he was about to say something, the Golden Cloud Ancestor spoke up again.

"Emperor Yan, this rebellious son has committed a grave error. It is my fault for not disciplining him properly. However, he is, after all, my youngest son. I am willing to offer 300,000 Origin Crystals to Emperor Yan, only asking that you reconcile with him and no longer hold my Jin Xiao's matter against you."

As soon as Ancestor Jinxiao spoke, Xiao Yan fell silent.

He couldn't help but glance at Ancestor Jinxiao, thinking to himself that this old man was being far too cautious.

He had long since stopped caring about the golden-armored youth, Jin Hong. A little guy who wasn't even a god had no right to be resented by him.

The fact that he did not kill it outright that day already meant that he was willing to spare its life.

I never expected that Ancestor Jinxiao would be so proactive, offering to compensate me with 300,000 Origin Crystals for such a trivial matter.

It's important to understand that the combined assets of an ordinary World God are only around a million Origin Crystals. Ancestor Jinxiao is a peak World God, and has existed for an incredibly long time. He might possess hundreds of millions, even nearly ten million, of Origin Crystals, but accumulating three hundred thousand would likely take him hundreds of years, or even longer. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but glance at Ancestor Jinxiao.

The same gaze took on a different meaning in the eyes of the Golden Cloud Ancestor.

"Damn it, is Xiao Yan still not satisfied?"

Three hundred thousand source crystals! I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years and I only have a fortune of ten million source crystals.

Ancestor Jinxiao gritted his teeth and spoke again: "Five hundred thousand!"

Five hundred thousand source crystals, that's the most I can give. If Xiao Yan is still not satisfied, then even if I offend this guy, I can't give him any more!
Jin Xiao Lao Zu's heart was bleeding.

At this moment, Xiao Yan finally realized what was happening. Looking at the Golden Cloud Ancestor's smile, which was clearly more like a grimace, he couldn't help but nod slightly.

“Ancestor Jin Xiao, you are being far too polite. Although your young master is arrogant, I have already punished him. There is no need to do this again.”

"However, Ancestor, you really need to manage him more strictly. I, Xiao, am kind-hearted; if it were anyone else, your youngest son might have perished that very day."

Xiao Yan kindly reminded him.

That's the truth. If his illiterate good brother had encountered him, Jin Hong might have been slapped to death that very day.

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Jin Xiao nodded in agreement. He flipped his hand, and a small bag, resembling a cloth bag, landed in his hand, which he then handed to Xiao Yan.

"Emperor Yan is right. When we return this time, I will punish this brat by confining him to his quarters for a hundred years so that he can reflect on his actions."

Ancestor Jinxiao nodded in agreement.

Because of this scoundrel son, he lost a full 500,000 Source Crystals, a sum that would drive even a newly born god mad.

"I'll go back and educate my children now. If Emperor Yan is interested in the future, he is welcome to visit my Golden Cloud City, and also welcomes to visit my Nine Heavens Great World."

Jin Xiao Patriarch nodded. Seeing that Xiao Yan was no longer concerned about Jin Hong, he bid farewell to Xiao Yan and left, leaving a somewhat bewildered Xiao Yan standing there.

"Is this like 500,000 Source Crystals falling from the sky?"

Xiao Yan waited until the Golden Cloud Ancestor had gone far away before he couldn't help but touch his nose.

He had originally planned to rely on alchemy to obtain more source crystals for cultivation, but he never expected that someone would bring him water when he was thirsty. Just as he came out, the Golden Cloud Ancestor brought him 500,000 source crystals.

"With the help of these source crystals, I can save a lot of time. By the time the Ancient Treasure Great World opens, my strength should at least reach the late stage of the World Realm."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, but did not return immediately. Instead, he took out a communication token and contacted the hundreds of gods, intending to refine a few more pills.

Although his understanding of the Great Dao surpasses that of any World God or even Creator God, he is currently only at the initial stage of World God cultivation. If he wants to gain an absolute advantage in the Ancient Hidden Great World, it would be best to raise his cultivation to the peak of World God as well.

The token in his hand was given by Yuan Zun to every deity in the Tianyuan Realm. With this token, one could communicate directly with other token holders in the Tianyuan Realm.

With his current strength, he can only refine Primordial Divine Pills for gods to consume, and the materials required are naturally extremely precious. Although a few Heavenly Sovereign level experts may possess them, trading with gods is obviously much easier.

"Oh, Emperor Yan, I never knew you could refine pills!"

"Tsk tsk, an alchemist who can refine the Primordial Divine Pill would be highly valued in any major power. Now I understand why Yuan Zun values ​​you so much."

Upon learning that Xiao Yan could refine pills, many gods were astonished and began to pay even more attention to him.

At their level, anyone who has grasped even a rudimentary understanding of the Great Dao of Fire can refine pills, but those who can actually refine the Primordial Chaos Divine Pill are extremely rare. Many creator gods do not have a single alchemist capable of refining the Primordial Chaos Divine Pill.

After collecting all the alchemy materials, Xiao Yan returned to his residence at night.

"Starting today, I will go into seclusion to cultivate and strive to reach the peak of the World God level before the Ancient Tibetan Great World opens."

The phantom of the Chaos Furnace rose above Xiao Yan's head once more, and hundreds of Origin Crystals were casually tossed into it, quickly being refined into pure divine power and infused into his body.

Xiao Yan gazed calmly at the small lake in front of him, which was several hundred miles in diameter.

The small lake may not seem large, but its actual area is equivalent to a small plane. It has been shrunk to this size by people using the methods of spatial arts. There are even several divine beasts at the level of Heavenly Sovereigns in this small lake. As for those with lower cultivation levels, they have been transformed into small fish and shrimp.

In the center of this small lake, there are several small islands, each several tens of miles in size. In fact, these islands are also small spaces where countless creatures thrive.

However, unbeknownst to these creatures, a terrifying being was silently watching them.

To refine a space and its surroundings into a mansion—this is the immense power of a deity.

As the source energy poured in, Xiao Yan's strength began to improve rapidly. In just half a month, his cultivation level surpassed the early stage of the World Realm and reached the middle stage of the World Realm.

At this moment, the giant puppet he was controlling had finally crossed the endless starry sky and returned to the territory of the Great Thousand World.

The puppet at the peak of the World Realm is indeed terrifying in strength. Even without deliberately activating the Great Dao to help it, it still managed to return to the Great Thousand World in half a month.

Xiao Yan gazed at the immense Great Thousand World before him, then glanced at the Flame God Realm beside him, which was equally vast but as insignificant as an infant compared to the Great Thousand World, and a slow smile appeared on his lips.

With these gifts from the Great Thousand Emperor, the strength of these two worlds can truly and rapidly increase.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, took a step forward, and appeared outside the world membrane of the Great Thousand World.

Then, the aura of the peak of the World Realm was casually released, causing the world membrane of the Great Thousand World to change quickly. In just a moment, a sharp sword light tore through the heavens and earth and appeared in front of the Earth Giant.

It was the Green Robe Sword Saint, dressed in a green robe.

"Who dares to trespass into my vast world!"

The Green-Robed Sword Saint stared warily at the hundred-foot-tall giant before him, the aura emanating from which made him feel tense and uneasy.

In his perception, if he left the Great Thousand World, he would definitely be killed by this guy very quickly. Even with the help of the power of the world's will, he still couldn't kill this guy.

"Hehe, Brother Liu, it's only been half a month since we last met, and you already don't recognize me?"

The giant, who was a hundred feet tall, made a familiar voice and a familiar soul fluctuation came from it, which made the green-robed sword saint pause slightly. Then he looked at the burly guy in front of him with some disbelief.

"Xiao Yan?" (End of Chapter)
