305. Fully Prepared
Having confirmed Little Fairy Doctor's attitude, Venerable Feng did not try to persuade her any further. After all, he was not Xiao Yan and could not change Little Fairy Doctor's opinion in such a short time.
The Starfall Pavilion's protective array was also hindering the Ice River Valley's allied forces. Venerable Wind seized the opportunity to issue a series of orders, warning that the array would eventually fail and preparations must be made. While the gap in high-level combat power between the two sides was significant, the gap in ordinary disciples was even greater. The Starfall Pavilion was facing a combined force of Ice River Valley, Wind and Thunder Pavilion, and Yellow Springs Pavilion all on its own.
At the level of ordinary disciples, the Ice River Valley alone already surpasses the Starfall Pavilion. Venerable Wind glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, unsure whether he should pray for Xiao Yan's arrival. He knew his old friend would likely accompany Xiao Yan, but could Mu Xinyuan's arrival change anything?
……
The speed of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Phoenix Wind was indeed beyond Xiao Yan's imagination; even with his current strength, he couldn't see the scenery along the way.
Such a rapid pace is a tremendous burden on the body; even a Dou Zun powerhouse from the Tianluan Clan could only protect himself. Mu Yaoyin, being much stronger, could only protect one more person.
Throughout the journey, Mu Yaoyin didn't even ask Xiao Yan who his opponent was, fully demonstrating her absolute trust in him. If the situation hadn't been so critical, Xiao Yan would have seriously considered the matter of the Tianluan Clan recognizing him as their master.
However, the situation was far more troublesome than Xiao Yan had imagined. With only half an hour left to reach the Starfall Pavilion, the jade pendant in Xiao Yan's hand that was used to communicate with Venerable Feng shattered. Xiao Yan's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. The shattered jade pendant represented the worst-case scenario: things were hopeless, there was no need for rescue, and the priority was to protect himself.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth. The situation at Starfall Pavilion was far more serious than he had anticipated, and it was probably a matter of life and death. Otherwise, Venerable Feng would never have sent him this message. However, Xiao Yan had no intention of leaving. He was completely different from what he had been a dozen days ago. The support from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan gave him unbelievable confidence.
Xiao Yan forced himself to calm down; the more critical the moment, the less he could afford to lose his composure. Currently, Xiao Yan was on Mu Yaoyin's back, protected by her special protection, making him very stable and safe. Therefore, he immediately sat down cross-legged, needing to be fully prepared. He had a premonition that a bloody battle was likely to ensue today.
Under his command, the fighting spirit within Xiao Yan's body began to circulate slowly in a mysterious way. During this process, the fighting spirit disappeared at an extremely fast speed, while Xiao Yan's soul power began to become powerful. This was one of Xiao Yan's greatest gains in the Myriad Beasts Space: the Soul Transformation Secret Technique.
The ability to temporarily convert one's internal fighting spirit into soul power is a secret technique that completely defies common sense. Only a peerless powerhouse like Emperor Xu Tian, who has reached the Dou Di realm, could make such a groundbreaking attempt.
The power of the Soul Transference Technique is undeniable, but Xiao Yan has had relatively few opportunities to use it. After all, once used, the technique requires converting all one's Dou Qi into soul power, and restoring Dou Qi takes time. In battle, no one will stand idly by and wait for the conversion. While the converted soul power is easy to wield, it differs from one's own soul power and cannot be used for delicate tasks like alchemy.
However, the current situation is very suitable for the Soul Transfer Technique to be used, so Xiao Yan patiently began to transfer his Dou Qi.
Mu Yaoyin, carrying Xiao Yan on her back, also noticed the rapid disappearance of Dou Qi within Xiao Yan's body. She was startled and almost interrupted Xiao Yan's meditative state. However, the next moment, Mu Yaoyin sensed the surge of Xiao Yan's soul power and stopped her actions.
Although Xiao Yan is an alchemist, the power of his soul cannot be without limits. However, Mu Yaoyin has now discovered that Xiao Yan's soul power has become so vast that it can be compared with that of an ordinary Dou Zun powerhouse.
With her keen eyesight, Mu Yaoyin quickly deduced what Xiao Yan was doing after observing him for a short while. After understanding the situation, Mu Yaoyin showed a hint of appreciation. While there were many fighting techniques using Dou Qi on the Dou Qi Continent, soul power was far more complex. Even in the Central Continent, skills related to soul power were extremely rare. Xiao Yan's ability was definitely unrelated to the Starfall Pavilion; otherwise, there was no reason why no one had known about it for so many years. The ever-expanding potential within Xiao Yan confirmed to Mu Yaoyin that her choice was absolutely correct.
As time passed, after Xiao Yan transformed all his Dou Qi into soul power, he felt as if he were omnipotent. Clearly, his soul power had entered a new realm in a short period of time, and he could even contend with Dou Zun.
Xiao Yan took out a pill to restore his Dou Qi. The pills Yang Yue had given him were all destroyed in one go, and Xiao Yan hadn't had time to properly replenish them yet. He couldn't afford to squander them for the time being. The Tianluan Clan wasn't much better off. It was already incredibly lucky for a magical beast race to produce a genius like Chen Wei; none of their members could refine high-grade pills.
The Celestial Phoenix Clan's flight speed was extremely fast, but fortunately, Xiao Yan had already recovered most of his Dou Qi before reaching the Celestial Star Mountains. Now, standing atop Mu Yaoyin's body, Xiao Yan could already sense the astonishing energy erupting within the Celestial Star Mountains, clearly indicating that the Starfall Pavilion was facing an unprecedented crisis.
Just as Xiao Yan and the others were about to enter the Tianxing Mountain Range, a chilling aura swept across from them. Everyone except Mu Yaoyin was forced to stop. Although this attack was not fatal, it was definitely launched by an opponent at the Dou Zun level, and it was enough to stop them.
"This road is blocked, hehehehe." A hoarse voice came, but Xiao Yan felt it was extremely familiar. The owner of the voice was none other than the Soul Palace's Fifth Heavenly Venerable, the Sacrificial Spirit Venerable, who had ambushed them in the spatial passage back then.
The Sacrificial Spirit Venerable stepped out from the dark spatial rift. The aura of decay and death made Mu Zier frown. Here, apart from Xiao Yan, she was the weakest and was naturally the most affected.
At the same time, another figure appeared beside the Five Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace. Even with Mu Yaoyin's protection, Xiao Yan could still sense the bloodthirsty aura on that person that was almost solidified.
Mu Que looked at the person blocking his way and laughed loudly: "The Soul Palace's four Heavenly Venerables and five Heavenly Venerables have come out together, what a grand display!"
