Chapter 10: I waited for one thousand years afterwards...

  Not long after Hun Xing Meng and the others returned to the Soul Realm, Hun Min Yue also brought people back. With a hint of guilt on his face, he said to Hun Xing Meng: "Master, Gu Yuan and the others came to support us, but we were unable to exterminate the Xiao Clan completely. It's likely that one branch still remains, however, the strong members of the Xiao Clan have been slaughtered. Please forgive me, Master."

  Hun Xing Meng heard the news, of course, would not blame Hun Min Yue. If it wasn't for his own private desire to see the plot unfold and prevent exposure, he would have praised Hun Min Yue instead. Hun Xing Meng pretended to think for a moment, then said calmly: "It doesn't matter, the news of Xiao Xuan's death will spread soon, and from now on, the Xiao clan will be eliminated in Zhongzhou!"

  He turned to Tian Di and said, "Tian Di, I'm going to retreat for a while, you should also take care of your injuries. The affairs of the clan will be handled by the elders first. This time we destroyed the Xiao family in an instant, the ancient eight clans' balance of power has been disrupted, and the four-clan alliance should also collapse. The situation in Zhongzhou is going to become chaotic!"

  Not long after, the news of Xiao Xuan being besieged and killed by the Soul Clan, and the Xiao Clan being almost destroyed, spread out, shocking the entire Zhongzhou! The Ancient Clan announced that Xiao Xuan would be buried in the Ancient Clan's Heavenly Tomb, but Xiao Xuan had offended too many people during his lifetime. The Xiao Clan was defeated by the Soul Clan in one fell swoop, revealing their weakness despite their strong appearance. The Xiao Clan suffered such a heavy blow that they no longer had the power to protect themselves in Zhongzhou, so the Ancient Clan could only relocate them out of Zhongzhou. The alliance between the four clans led by the Xiao Clan and the Flame Valley naturally collapsed as well.

  At the same time, the alliance of the Medicine Clan, Soul Clan, Stone Clan and Spirit Clan formed to counter Xiao Xuan's dominance also disbanded. After all, this alliance was formed to counter Xiao Xuan, and with his death, it naturally disbanded as well. However, the Soul Clan's ferocity and the large number of Dou Saints made everyone realize the profound strength of this ancient clan that did not like to show off. Currently, only the Ancient Clan can compare to their high-level Dou Saints and the number of Dou Saints they possess.

  As a result, the ancient eight clans gradually changed from the original four-clan suppression of the Soul Clan led by the Xiao Clan to a situation where the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan were at odds with each other, while the remaining five clans remained neutral. Later, the Soul Clan rebuilt the Soul Temple, preparing to collect souls on the mainland and challenge the Emperor of Fighting, but that's another story.

  Soul Tian Emperor closed the door to treat his injuries, while Soul Xing Meng closed the door to perfect the "Taiyi Scripture". What kind of mystery does the "Taiyi Scripture" have? As a method created by his own temporary inspiration and epiphany, even Soul Xing Meng himself has not fully grasped it. Last time when he absorbed and refined the pure lotus demon fire, the "Taiyi Scripture" showed an amazing degree of fusion. This time, he obtained Xiao Xuan's three strange fires, which are just right for testing.

  Compare the different fire lists, the three different fires are ranked 18th Wind Thunder Fury Flame, ranked 12th Nine Dragon Thunder Fire, and ranked 6th Nine Underworld Golden Ancestor Fire.

  Xing Meng remembered that the Nine Dragons Thunderfire was a legendary fire from the Blazing Valley, and now he heard that the valley master of the Blazing Valley who got along with Xiao Xuan was indeed famous for the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Could it be that these two were good buddies? Even their heterodox fires were the same? Indeed, he had never heard that Xiao Xuan had any romantic interests...

  The hetero-fire was notorious for its ferocity, and the three hetero-fires released from Nasling were also unstoppable. After Soul Star Mengyi used the Jie Lian You Huo, all of them calmed down, and the Buddha had already gained spiritual wisdom, understanding the natural submission of heaven.

  It only took half a month for Xun Xing Meng to refine all three foreign fires. At this time, there were already four foreign fires in his body. However, just like when he refined the Jing Lian Yao Huo, he didn't need to suppress them himself. Instead, they merged with the "Tai Yi Jue" quite well, and after absorbing it, the "Tai Yi Jue" actually evolved a bit further.

  Originally, I thought that only the most perverted technique in the book, "Feng Jue", could swallow alien fire and evolve, but now "Tai Yi Jue" also has this effect. This discovery shocked Soul Star Meng, as it was not even discovered by his predecessor. "Tai Yi Jue" was created based on the principle of "all things are one, and one is all things". Could it be that when "Tai Yi Jue" swallows strange objects, it will also evolve?

  But the "Taiyi Decision" was originally a high-level Gongfa that reached the Heavenly Stage. Now, after swallowing four strange fires, it has only increased a little. It seems that the evolutionary increment of swallowing strange fire is not as strong as that of the Burning Key. I don't know if swallowing other things can also be smoothly integrated, and whether integration can make the Gongfa evolve again. To know that suppressing the strange fire like Xiao Xuan and refining it away like Xiao Yan are different concepts for the increase in actual strength.

  This point will be entered into the plot later, and after traveling around the mainland, I should be able to find a lot. There are also many exotic fires waiting for me to collect in the ancient emperor's cave mansion!

  However, if we talk about the easiest way to obtain a powerful and energetic object in the Dou Qi continent, it would be Dan Lei.

  Xing Meng himself was not a fire attribute physique, so he couldn't refine the elixir. However, among his disciples, there was one person with a very good talent for refining the elixir, and that was his tenth disciple, Xing Ruowen.

  Hún Ruò Wén is another female disciple of Hún Xīng Mèng, besides Hún Mǐn Yuè. She and Hún Mǐn Yuè are as close as sisters. Her cultivation is the lowest among the disciples, only at the peak of six-star Dou Sheng, but she has the best alchemy talent in the Hún clan. Now, she is already the number one alchemist in the Hún clan, having reached the level of a ninth-grade high-ranking alchemist.

  I don't know what relationship she has with that soul of the Danta who was once the number one alchemist, or if she herself had crossed over to impart the "Emperor's Soul Technique" and thus achieved her current status.

  As the soul star Meng in the soul clan's position, he can naturally mobilize any resources. He immediately let Soul Ruo Wan refine the 9th grade elixir.

  Only to see Xun Ruoyan's handprint changing, her long hair was all wet with sweat, the one in front of her had been refining for ten days, after several failures, today this furnace pill would finally succeed.

  With her understanding of Shifu's strength, she naturally knew that Shifu didn't need any elixirs to boost his power. So when she heard that Shifu had rarely allowed her to refine the elixir, she was also surprised. The one to be refined was still the highest grade of elixir below the emperor's grade. She hadn't expected Shifu to say to her: "How can there be high-quality thunderbolts without high-quality elixirs? The elixir is yours, and the thunderbolt is mine. Am I not good to you, Master?"

  Unexpectedly, the master's goal was actually Dan Lei. Xun Ruoyun only felt that being struck by Lei made her feel like she had been roasted on the outside and was suffering an impact comparable to when she used to be unable to withstand Dan Lei due to her insufficient strength.

  As the elixir gradually took shape, the black clouds in the sky gathered, and at the moment when the elixir was about to be formed, a large number of powerful black thunderbolts crazily ravaged, and the powerful energy storm shattered thousands of feet of space!

  However, such a terrifying power was not a problem for Xīn Xīng Mèng and Xīn Ruò Wǎn. Just as they had waited for more than ten days, the Dan Lei finally arrived, still in its original form of Hei Dan Lei. Xīn Xīng Mèng immediately flew up, not to resist, but rather allowed the Dan Lei to strike his body, activating the "Tai Yi Jue" and attempting to absorb the Dan Lei.

  Hei Dan Lei couldn't inflict any damage on this Dou Emperor-level physique. As Tai Yi Zhuan rotated, Hei Dan Lei actually slowly merged with his cultivation method.

  Xing Meng was overjoyed, it seemed that "Taiyi's Decision" could indeed merge the world's strange objects for his own use. As long as he continued to absorb them, one day he would break through to the Heavenly Stage!

  As for that ninth-grade treasure pill... although it's precious, it's of no great use to the master and apprentice, so they just put it in storage, waiting for a chance to use it later...

  He had roughly figured out the function of "Taiyi Decision", and there was still a thousand years before Xiao Yan crossed over. Waiting for another thousand years would be boring to the extreme, so Meng decided to let himself sleep for a thousand years, waiting for Xiao Yan to almost cross over, and then have his disciples wake him up, so he could start using the secret method: "Soul Transformation into Emperor", abandoning this body that was severely damaged by Tuo Sha Ancient Emperor and became half-emperor, re-cultivating, and when he recovered his strength, he could pull his disciples again to make them become Dou Emperors! Of course, the premise was that they themselves could cultivate to the peak of Nine-Star Dou Saint.

  The disciples heard that the master was going to reincarnate into the Xiao family, but they all opposed it. The reason is that in the future, when the master returns to Dou Emperor, wouldn't he want to strengthen the Xiao family's bloodline power? Moreover, the soul tribe's bloodline power is very strong, and isn't cultivation faster in the soul tribe?

  Xing Meng naturally wouldn't say that he wanted to experience the plot, so he chose to reincarnate into the Xiao tribe. However, he did tell his disciples two reasons: Firstly, their master had always cultivated using a shallow and almost non-existent bloodline power; Secondly, whether or not to reform the bloodline and enhance the strength of the clan members after becoming the Emperor depended on the personal choice of the person who became the Emperor.

  If even the bloodline of one's own clan cannot be manipulated, then this Emperor is really too incompetent! In ancient times, many Emperors were actually traitors who betrayed their families, and they would not have allowed their families to benefit.

  Having seen Master already having some arrangements, Soul Heavenly Emperor and others also had some blind worship for Master, so they agreed.

  A thousand years later...

  For Xīn Huì, it was just a blink of an eye, and a thousand years had already passed. Except for a few disciples who made slight progress in their cultivation, Wú Yǐn Tūn Yán also reached the level of Nine-Star Dou Sheng. The Central State entered a period of stalemate between the ancient tribes of the Soul Clan. The seven ancient tribes were relatively peaceful with each other. The Soul Clan had established the Soul Temple, which was one of the major powers in the Central State. However, compared to the original work's cold-blooded and ruthless Soul Temple that collected souls, the current Soul Temple, although also willing to do whatever it took to become stronger, was generally just an ordinary sect that recruited talent, exchanged merit for techniques, and slowly expanded its influence. Perhaps this was because the Soul Emperor had already found another way to ascend to the level of Dou Emperor, and no longer needed to act as he did in the original work.

  The Xiao family has Xiao Zhan as its patriarch, and now the situation is almost like in the original work. It's time!

  Bid farewell to the disciples, and take a Soul Clan token (so as not to have misunderstandings with his own people in the future). Xuan Xing Meng chose a fire-attribute boy and took him away with the异火转生!

  P.S: Actually, I don't know what's good for this blank thousand years either, might as well sleep...
