As Zhu Chen was speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

[Zhu Chen: Wait a minute, how did you jump to the Dou Sheng level? Dou Zong and Dou Zun are one thing, but do you think I don't know how high the threshold for Dou Sheng is? Without special opportunities or top-tier rare treasures, it's simply impossible to cross that line.]

[Xiao Yan: This is all thanks to my teacher. When I was refining the strange fire in the Strange Fire Plaza, my teacher was worried that my cultivation was improving too fast and that something might go wrong when I reached the Dou Sheng bottleneck. So he asked my father-in-law to protect me outside the plaza, while he himself took advantage of that opportunity to secretly go to the Desolate Ancient Domain on the northeastern border of Zhongzhou!]

Zhu Chen raised an eyebrow.

Ancient Wilderness Domain?

Isn't that the territory of the ancient Bodhi tree?

[Zhu Chen: Did your teacher help you obtain the Bodhicitta?]

Xiao Yan: Yes, Teacher has also read the Battle Through the Heavens novel and knows the approximate location where the Bodhi Tree was born.

With his current strength as a nine-star Dou Sheng, coupled with his Divine Realm soul and precognitive abilities, he quickly found the Bodhi Ancient Tree and also collected many of the accompanying rare and precious materials.

Later, my teacher used that Bodhi Heart as the main ingredient, along with some other precious medicinal herbs, and personally opened the furnace, expending a lot of effort to refine a 'Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill' for me.

With the help of the Bodhi Heart's heaven-defying power of enlightenment and breakthrough, I was able to break through the shackles and enter the realm of Dou Sheng!
However, my current cultivation level is only at the initial stage of the first-star Dou Sheng realm. My realm has improved too quickly, and I still need time to stabilize it.

Moreover, it becomes even more difficult to advance to the next level after reaching the Dou Sheng realm.

Aside from continuing to inherit the legacy of the ancient emperor, they'll probably have to rely on refining a strange fire of the level of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

After reading the long comment sent by Xiao Yan, Zhu Chen couldn't help but admire Yao Lao's meticulous cultivation of Xiao Yan.

Having a teacher like this really helps you avoid a lot of detours!

[Zhu Chen: Xiao Yan, your teacher really has it all for you. But I remember in the original story you only formally received the complete Ancient Emperor's inheritance when you were a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, right? You're only a One-Star Dou Sheng now, isn't that a bit too early? Can you withstand the information flow and energy surge during the inheritance?]

Zhu Chen reminded Xiao Yan in the group chat.

Prematurely encountering forces far beyond one's own level may not be a good thing.

Xiao Yan: Don't worry, big brother, I've thought of that too.

My main goal in entering the inheritance space this time is not to immediately receive all the inherited power to forcibly improve my cultivation, but to obtain the most core 'Emperor's Origin' left behind by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe!
This wisp of origin is the key, the foundation for future breakthroughs to the Dou Di realm.

As for the immense energy and experience inherited, I can seal a portion of it within my body and digest it slowly. My main focus is on comprehending the laws of fire and the insights gained from becoming a Dou Di, thus solidifying my foundation.

Even if this inheritance doesn't allow me to directly reach the advanced Dou Sheng level, I've still prepared a backup plan.

After I get out, I can go to the Heavenly Tomb to find Ancestor Xiao Xuan. There should still be some things there that are useful to me.

Or I could try to find the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and refine it!

Seeing Xiao Yan's clear and logical plan, Zhu Chen felt a little relieved.

But at that moment, he suddenly remembered something.

With a thought, Zhu Chen took out a jade bottle sealed with special runes from his own cave.

This was a trace of the purest primordial fire that he had deliberately preserved when he killed the Void Devouring Flame!
He is now at the peak of the Venerable Realm, so the improvement brought by refining this wisp of fire seed with the "Burning Technique" is negligible.

However, the Devouring Law and the Origin Aura of the Second-Ranked Strange Flame contained within this wisp of fire are priceless treasures to Xiao Yan!

Without hesitation, Zhu Chen directly used the gifting function in the chat group to send the sealed Void Devouring Flame Origin Seed to Xiao Yan.

[Zhu Chen: Xiao Yan, this is a wisp of the original flame of the Void Devouring Flame. It's not very useful for me to keep it, so I'm giving it to you. I hope it will be of some help to you.]

...Battle Through the World.

Inside the ancient emperor's cave dwelling's heritage space.

When Xiao Yan saw the familiar black flame in the jade bottle, he was stunned, and then a surge of joy welled up in his heart!
[Xiao Yan: Big brother, this thing you gave me is too precious. I thought you refined it along with the gift. Thank you so much, big brother, I will remember your kindness!]

Xiao Yan was so excited that he was almost incoherent.

The Void Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Strange Flame Ranking, possesses a unique devouring characteristic, which has immeasurable benefits for him in perfecting the "Burning Technique" and fusing various strange flames within his body!
This gift is more practical than any elixir or cultivation technique!

After a moment of emotion, Xiao Yan brought the topic back to its original point.

[Xiao Yan: Big brother, you see, I simply don't have time to go to the Yunlan Sect right now. I really can only ask you for help. Could you just go and show up for me and tell Nalan Yanran that I can reunite with my sister-in-law? Wouldn't that be great?]

Xiao Yan started to plead and beg again, hoping that Zhu Chen could help him.

But Zhu Chen's answer remained the same.

[Zhu Chen: Xiao Yan, it's not that your older brother doesn't want to help you, but think about it carefully. You're a Dou Sheng now, while Nalan Yanran is at most a Great Dou Shi. What kind of three-year agreement are you, a Dou Sheng, going to fulfill with a Great Dou Shi? Isn't this bullying? If word gets out, what will become of your 'Flame Emperor' reputation? Do you really want to eat two bowls of noodles but only pay for one?]

[Xiao Yan: Eat noodles? Pay me? Bro, what do you mean by that? I don't understand.]

[Zhu Chen: Never mind that, just tell me, do you have no shame at all?]

[Xiao Yan: I...I'm just reminiscing about my youth...Besides, I already made those promises back then...]

Xiao Yan was still struggling, but his tone had weakened considerably.

Just then, Naruto Uzumaki, who had been diving, jumped out again.

[Naruto Uzumaki: @Xiao Yan, I have a great idea, do you want to hear it?]

[Xiao Yan: What idea? Tell me quickly!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Didn't you say you couldn't go? I can go in your place!]

[Xiao Yan: You'll go in my place? How will you do it?]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Use the Transformation Jutsu! My Transformation Jutsu is so powerful that even the Sharingan has a hard time seeing through it. I'll transform into your appearance and fight that Nalan Yanran!]

Naruto Uzumaki suggested with great interest.

[Xiao Yan: Become like me? This... is that even possible?]

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment.

[Naruto Uzumaki: I can definitely do it. Although my strength is not as good as yours and Brother Zhu Chen's, I have downloaded so many cultivation techniques in the group. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with a Great Dou Shi. Even if I can't win, I still have a lot of ninjutsu to deal with, such as Shadow Clone Jutsu, Rasengan, Summoning Jutsu...]

Naruto Uzumaki confidently counted his abilities on his fingers.

After the "incident" at the Ancient Emperor's Cave, he trained even harder after returning home, and his strength improved significantly. He was looking for an opportunity to prove himself.

Xiao Yan thought about it carefully.

Although Naruto Uzumaki is not as reliable as Zhu Chen in getting things done.

But if Zhu Chen really can't spare the time, then he'll have to trouble Naruto Uzumaki to make the visit.
