Chapter 197: Xun'er Comes Out of Seclusion! Imperial Flame of Origin!
The Ancient World.
On the inheritance altar, a golden flame rose, emitting a majestic and powerful presence that attracted the attention of many elders in the Ancient World.
As soon as this presence was felt, the figure of Gu Yuan appeared on the inheritance altar.
The Golden Flame of the Fentian Emperor was slowly absorbed back into Xun'er's body, who opened her eyes, showing golden flames burning in her pupils.
Seeing her father's figure, a gentle smile appeared on Xun'er's face.
Before accepting the inheritance of the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame, her father was standing before the altar, looking at her expectantly, just as he was now.
Finally, Xun'er completed the inheritance of the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame, fulfilling her father's expectations.
Xun'er stood up and walked towards Gu Yuan. With each step, golden lotus flowers appeared in the air under her feet.
Facing Gu Yuan, Xun'er softly said, "Father, I did it."
"Ha ha, excellent! Today is the day of the competition among the clan's youths. Would you like to participate?"
"...Alright," Xun'er replied after thinking for a moment, nodding slightly.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuan quickly took them to a huge plaza.
The members of the Gu Clan in the plaza were full of energy, watching the fights on the stage attentively, not noticing the arrival of Xun'er and Gu Yuan.
After two clan members finished their combat, Xun'er floated in the air and landed on the stage.
"I just came out of seclusion. Please guide me," Xun'er said.
Xun'er's appearance on the stage provoked intense discussion among the Gu Clan members.
"The young lady is back!"
"I wonder what the young lady's current strength is."
"With the young lady's talent, she's probably already among the most powerful of her generation."
"She's still very young. If given more time, she'll surely surpass them all."
In the midst of the conversation, a figure suddenly appeared on the stage.
"Xun'er, if you don't mind, I'll be your opponent."
"Please," Xun'er responded with a gentle smile.
The spectators watched as the figure launched toward Xun'er.
In the next instant, the stage filled with golden flames, and the figure found themselves defeated on the ground.
"Thank you for your indulgence, Leader Lin," Xun'er said.
"I admit my defeat. Thank you for your restraint," Lin responded, bowing.
The battle ended so quickly that it left the spectators stunned.
Gu Yuan, observing from below, slightly furrowed his brow.
After several more battles, Xun'er lost interest and returned to Gu Yuan's side.
Back in Xun'er's courtyard, Gu Yuan said, "Xun'er, your skills are limited. You won using only the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame. You need to master more combat techniques."
"You became a Dou Wang and inherited the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame without time to practice the clan's techniques. Use this time to train," said Gu Yuan, a peak-level Dou Sheng, capable of detecting more issues.
"I understand, father," Xun'er replied, nodding. In the previous battles, she had relied solely on the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame to win.
"Right now, I have some free time. I'll teach you the Emperor's technique," Gu Yuan offered.
"Yes," Xun'er said happily. Learning from her father wouldn't be difficult.
...
At the top of the Elder's Tower in Dan Tower, black clouds covered the sky, and thunder roared. Powerful lightning snakes intertwined among the clouds.
Inside the Yunling Cauldron, a golden pill was slowly forming.
Xiao Ze changed his hand posture, and his spiritual energy flowed, accelerating the pill's formation.
Waves of powerful energy clashed against the cauldron, releasing a medicinal aroma that made Xiao Ze squint.
'Condense!' Xiao Ze thought.
The Xuanyang Spirit Pill finally formed.
The pill's lightning arrived, a silver bolt descended from the sky, striking the top of the Elder's Tower.
The nearby elders looked up towards Xiao Ze's tower, serious.
The power of this lightning indicated that the pill was of the highest grade among the seventh.
Before, the elders didn't pay much attention to Xiao Ze, who joined the Pill Tower on the recommendation of Xuan Kongzi and Liu Tian. However, now they saw his refining ability as exceptional.
They wondered about Xiao Ze's strength, as he didn't ask for help to resist the lightning.
To their astonishment, the lightning quickly disappeared as it touched the tower, with no energy dispersal.
At the top of the tower, golden roots surrounded Xiao Ze, devouring the lightning.
"With the Origin Tree, I don't need to worry about lightning when refining high-grade pills," Xiao Ze thought, satisfied with the golden pill he had just created.
He checked the system panel.
[Xun'er has fully mastered the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame. Congratulations, you've received a tenfold return!]
[The return includes the special reward of Xun'er's Dou Huang level. You have received the Imperial Flame of Origin!]
"Incredible!"
Xiao Ze was astonished to see the words "Imperial Flame" on the system panel.
Information about the Imperial Flame of Origin was scarce, known only to ancient beings like the Old Dragon King, father of Zi Yan.
Formed in a thousand years, concentrated in ten thousand, and perfected in a hundred thousand...
The Imperial Flame of Origin devoured all the flames on the Exotic Flames List, becoming the first, called the Imperial Flame, the Emperor Flame.
A true Emperor of Flames.
After a thousand years, it broke through and became Dou Di, known as the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.
Xiao Ze was amazed. With the reward from the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame, he had obtained the Imperial Flame.
Although having the Imperial Flame didn't guarantee becoming a Dou Di, its power was immense.
In the Dou Qi continent, anything related to the title of "Emperor" was extraordinary.

Chapter 198: Seven-Star Dou Zong! Terrifying Change!
Xiao Ze stored the Yun Ling Ding and hurried to the secret chamber in the Elder's Tower.
He was eager to receive the Emperor Flame reward.
Xiao Ze raised his hand and saw the colorful devouring python on his arm, suddenly remembering he had forgotten about this little snake.
He didn't know what would happen when he received the Emperor Flame reward.
He didn't want to harm the colorful devouring python.
"Qing Lin, come here, please take care of the colorful devouring python for me."
Not long after Xiao Ze spoke, Qing Lin appeared at the door.
The small colorful snake tilted its head and looked at Qing Lin. At Xiao Ze's signal, it fell into Qing Lin's hand.
"I'm about to make an important breakthrough, and I might harm the colorful devouring python. Take care of it in the meantime. Here's some accompanying purple crystal, it likes to eat this."
"I understand, young master Xiao Ze." Qing Lin solemnly received the accompanying purple crystal.
"Also, don't receive any visitors during this time."
Qing Lin nodded, worried, and said, "Then, young master Xiao Ze, I'll leave. Take care."
The door to the secret chamber closed, and Xiao Ze took a deep breath to calm himself.
'Claim feedback reward.'
Immediately, Xiao Ze felt immense, burning energy invade his body.
Most peculiarly, even his soul, within the Origin Tree, felt the heat.
The energy flowed towards the Origin Tree; even at the Dou Zong stage, this energy was vast.
At the Dou Zong stage, each breakthrough required years, even decades.
Xiao Ze had advanced much faster due to his abilities, but nothing compared to the reward from the Fentian Emperor's Golden Flame. The height of the Origin Tree kept increasing.
At the Dou Zong stage, each star represented a thousand meters of difference.
Xiao Ze was experiencing dramatic changes, covered by a golden flame with bright colors.
The flame was beautiful but deadly, distorting the space around.
Time passed, and Qing Lin fed the colorful python several times.
Many elders from Dan Tower came to visit.
But Qing Lin rejected the visits, saying Xiao Ze was in an important breakthrough.
Qing Lin, with the small snake on her wrist, walked worriedly in front of the chamber.
Her young and charming face showed concern.
Although she trusted Xiao Ze, the deadly feeling emanating from the secret chamber made her uneasy.
This had never happened in Xiao Ze's previous breakthroughs.
This breakthrough must be very special.
The eyes of the colorful python, usually innocent, began to show authority.
It seemed that the mind of Queen Medusa, not the new python, was now dominant.
Even so, the small snake didn't move, only coiling around Qing Lin's wrist, also showing concern.
Days passed, and the colorful python's eyes showed more authority.
But it showed nothing else, only that it no longer asked for food when its eyes showed authority.
"More than a month..." Qing Lin opened her eyes after her own breakthrough, lamenting that Xiao Ze had not yet come out.
"May the heavens protect young master Xiao Ze in his breakthrough," the girl prayed devoutly.
Inside the chamber, Xiao Ze's energy reached its peak, breaking the barrier.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Xiao Ze's energy increased
