96. True Reward
Inside the secret room of Xiao Yan's room in the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, but waves of fighting spirit emanated from his body, and the violent fighting spirit permeated the entire secret room.
The situation within Xiao Yan's body was even more perilous. The raging, magma-like crimson lotus karmic fire was circulating rapidly within him along a mysterious path, while Xiao Yan's aura was also rapidly rising, even approaching the level of a Dou Huang in an instant.
Just as the entire process was about to be completed, the crimson flames went out of control, overflowing from Xiao Yan's body and burning his clothes.
Crimson flames were scattered throughout the secret chamber, but in the next instant, an attractive force emanated from Xiao Yan, and the scattered crimson flames were directly gathered by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan took out dozens of sets of black outfits from his storage ring and put them on, his expression somewhat helpless.
I failed to cultivate the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations again. I don't know if it's because of my lack of comprehension or because my strange fire is too ranked and difficult to circulate. Anyway, I've had the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations for more than ten days, and I'm still just one step away.
If it weren't for Mingmei allowing him to perfectly merge with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, he probably would have been injured while cultivating the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire.
Because of his absorption of the Star Spirit Nurturing Orchid, Yao Lao was also preoccupied and had to figure it out on his own. However, it was clear that Xiao Yan's progress on his own wasn't very good. Of course, Xiao Yan wasn't discouraged; the more arduous the process, the more anticipated the outcome.
Xiao Yan regained his composure and then stepped out of the room. That was it for today's cultivation; there were more important matters to attend to later.
Although the Beast Gathering has ended, the demarcation of the Northwest Region has not yet begun. It usually starts about half a month after the Beast Gathering ends.
The reason why the chosen ones cultivated by the major powers scheme and compete fiercely in the Myriad Beasts Space is ultimately for the division of this territory.
The Void Emperor established a restriction that would divide the Northwest Region for the next ten years according to ranking and position. Any forceful measures taken would be directly annihilated by the restriction set up in the shadows of the Northwest Region.
Although there have been opposing opinions about the actions of the Void Emperor, it is undeniable that the Northwest Region is indeed the least turbulent and relatively safest area in the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Moreover, thanks to the Myriad Beasts Space left behind by the Void Emperor, the Northwest Region has always been the most talented region among the eight regions, second only to the Central Continent. The Northwest Region's ranking as the number one region among the eight regions is definitely not just boasting.
Today marks the agreed-upon division of spheres of influence for the new decade, and Yang Yue extended a strong invitation for Xiao Yan to participate, also expressing his commitment to placing the Jia Ma Empire under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Serpent Prefecture. Of course, Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to this. His family members had already left the Jia Ma Empire and were properly settled by the forces behind Xun'er. He had no worries about the future. Although Jia Ma was his birthplace, Xiao Yan had never been particularly concerned with imperial honor.
Of course, since it was the conclusion of the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering, Xiao Yan was still willing to go and see it. After everything was over, Xiao Yan decided to leave. He hadn't yet fulfilled his promise to Hai Bodong, and afterwards he needed to find a way to meet with the Xiao family members and his close friend, Venerable Feng, who was searching for Elder Yao.
When Xiao Yan walked into the main hall of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, everyone in the mansion, regardless of their age or seniority, showed him an indescribable gentleness.
Xiao Yan arrived at the main hall of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion and was somewhat shocked by the number of people there. There were so many Dou Zong level experts that he couldn't count them on two hands, and this wasn't even the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion. The people from Tianlan City were only the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's forces gathered for the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering; they weren't the entirety of this super-powerful force.
Of course, because today is of extraordinary importance, it is still the day when the Heavenly Serpent Palace has gathered the most people.
Those below the Douhuang level are not even qualified to enter here, although there are exceptions.
At this very moment, there was still a Fighting King in the main hall of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, namely Qing Lin, who was gathered with Xun'er and Zi Yan.
Xiao Yan noticed that Qing Lin's aura was more composed than when he first left the Beast Space, and the green in Qing Lin's eyes was fainter than before. However, Xiao Yan knew that the real danger was always well hidden, and Qing Lin had improved again!
"After all, he is the personal disciple of a nine-star Dou Sheng powerhouse!" Xiao Yan sighed inwardly. He even had a premonition that Qing Lin's strength would surpass his own sooner or later.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Yang Yue suddenly raised his hand, and the slightly noisy sounds in the hall immediately disappeared.
"Gentlemen, the Heavenly Serpent Palace has participated in the Ten Thousand Beasts Gathering three times in the past thirty years, and its performance has been worse each time. It has even become a laughing stock in the Northwest Region. As the Palace Master, seeing the odds in Tianlan City betting on the Heavenly Serpent Palace not being able to obtain the Ten Thousand Beasts Token fragments is so low, I feel angry but even more helpless."
At this moment, most of their eyes were somewhat moved. They were the backbone of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, and they could immediately empathize with Yang Yue's words.
No one likes being looked down upon or ostracized.
"But!" Yang Yue's voice suddenly rose, "From today onwards, the situation will completely change, and the Heavenly Serpent Mansion will no longer be an object to be coveted."
"And all of this is thanks to Xiao Yan!"
Yang Yue pointed, and everyone's eyes focused on Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was also a little surprised to see the situation. What was going on?
"Snakes are inherently cold-blooded, but the people of the Heavenly Serpent Palace are absolutely loyal and righteous. Those who have been kind to us by the Heavenly Serpent Palace should never be forgotten!"
Everyone turned to face Xiao Yan at the same time, including Yang Yue, and all of them knelt down on one knee.
"If Mr. Xiao Yan has any needs, the Heavenly Serpent Manor will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The unified sound resounded throughout the hall, but no one's eyes showed reluctance; everyone's gaze towards Xiao Yan was incredibly fervent.
Xiao Yan was about to decline when Yang Yue stopped him with a look in his eyes.
Then Yang Yue took out a token, which was made entirely of expensive jade crystal, with a fanged snake head on the front.
Yang Yue handed it to Xiao Yan, saying, "This token was originally an elder's token of the Heavenly Serpent Palace. From this day forward, Xiao Yan is an honorary elder of the Heavenly Serpent Palace, and can mobilize all forces within the Heavenly Serpent Palace in his region!"
The jade crystal token wasn't heavy, but Xiao Yan felt it was quite substantial in his hand, clearly Yang Yue was expressing his gratitude through his actions.
The title of Honorary Elder represents the highest level of gratitude Yang Yue can offer. Xiao Yan doesn't need to join the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, but the entire Heavenly Serpent Mansion has already become the power behind Xiao Yan.
Even someone as composed as Xiao Yan was somewhat taken aback; Yang Yue's gift, given without prior notice, was far too generous.
Of course, in Yang Yue's heart, Xiao Yan prevented him from becoming a sinner of the Heavenly Serpent Manor, bringing the Heavenly Serpent Manor to an unprecedented peak, and even helped him cultivate Yang Lingyan's character. These are all priceless, and just because Xiao Yan doesn't care doesn't mean he can ignore them.
