Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Crimson Flame Demon Body
"It's just a fluke that the clan ancestor appreciates me," Xiao Yan replied, not daring to be too arrogant in front of a seven-star Dou Saint.
"Haha, since you are the Imperial Son chosen by the ancestor, you must be deserving of your status."
When mentioning Xiao Xuan, a gleam of light appeared in Old Qing's cloudy eyes.
In the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Xuan is the strongest person in the world. In the Xiao clan, he is the soul, the faith, and the pillar.
"Please come in. The Imperial Son of our clan is extremely noble and naturally deserves to browse all the martial arts and Dou Technique collected in out Scripture Pavilion," Old Qing said, extending his hand.
"Thank you, Old Qing," Xiao Yan replied, clasping his fists in greeting before walking into the Scripture Pavilion, accompanied by the two Half Saints.
As Half Saints, the two were not the most noble people in the Xiao clan, but they were still qualified to enter the Scripture Pavilion.
The Scripture Pavilion is nine stories high, housing many classics from the entire Xiao clan and even the Dou Qi Continent, its knowledge was as vast as a sea. It contained but was not limited to cultivation techniques, Dou Technique, secret techniques, alchemy recipes, documents, and secret histories.
"It's really spectacular," Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the many light orbs on the first floor of the hall.
The first-floor contains some very common and not very valuable classics. There are no cultivation techniques or Dou Technique, but there are more than 100 million light orbs containing different information. Rows of tall, simple bookcases containing white light orbs representing the cultural heritage of the Dou Qi Continent for nearly 10,000 years was lining the hall. Each book is wrapped in a secret art to prevent damage.
On this floor alone, Xiao Yan found more than a dozen Dou Ancestor masters responsible for maintaining these books.
"Young Master, although this floor is vast and magnificent, most of the books are not of high value. Let's go up and take a look," Xiao Wen suggested.
"Okay," Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
The three of them climbed the stairs to the second floor, which was nearly ten feet high. The second floor is slightly smaller than the first, but there are still millions of light orbs.
"These are all Huang Class Dou Technique, and they also include some Grade One and Grade Two pill recipes," Xiao Wen introduced with a smile. He had worked here for a while when he was a Dou Venerate.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly.
There is almost no market for Huang Class Dou Technique and pill recipes in the Xiao clan. Due to the huge resources and inheritance they have, almost all descendants can practice Xuan Class Dou Technique. Therefore, the first and second floors are more of a cultural collection than something that the descendants use.
On the third floor, the number of light orbs decreased again to less than one million, but the value of this floor is far greater than the previous two. These light orbs contain Xuan Class Dou Technique or Grade Three and Grade Four pill recipes. These are almost the cornerstones of the Xiao clan. From the members who have just become Dou King's to other members who have just obtained the qualification to enter the family tree, almost everything they need for daily cultivation is here.
When they walked to the fourth floor, Xiao Yan finally saw a guardian.
"Do you have the merit token given by the elders?" At the entrance of the fourth floor, a Dou Venerate stared at Xiao Yan and the other two and asked.
"This is the newly appointed Imperial Son of the clan, he is appointed by the ancestor. Why would he need a token?" Xiao Wu Half Saint aura leaked out.
The Dou Venerate was stunned at first before he recognized the flame mark on Xiao Yan's forehead.
"Greetings to the Imperial Son!" The Dou Venerate knelt on one knee.
"No need to be polite. Can I go in?" Xiao Yan coughed lightly. Seeing the Dou Venerate kneel on one knee for him made him quite uncomfortable.
"Please come in, Imperial Son." The strong man quickly stood up and made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yan.
The Scripture Pavilion becomes a true treasure land from the fourth floor onwards. The over 100,000 light orbs on the fourth floor are all low-level Di Class skills, Grade Five pill recipes, and some hidden secrets of the Continent.
But for Xiao Yan, most of these things are not worth his attention. Even before he became the Imperial Son, he was a young master of a Royal Bloodline with a Dou Saint grandfather and had the qualifications to enter here.
Thus, the three of them continued to go up. When they reached the fifth floor, they found only Di Class intermediate skills.
At this level, Xiao Yan slowed down for the first time and began to read the titles of the books seriously. In the end, he selected about ten or so skills and many secret pill recipes. The Dou Venerate expert guarding this level printed the copies onto jade slips.
At the sixth level, there were only tens of thousands of light orbs, but their value was even more significant. At this level, Xiao Yan finally got serious. High-level Di Class skills were not commonplace, this goes even for Dou Saint powerhouses. Xiao Lin might be able to get a few skills for Xiao Yan easily, but it was impossible for what he got him to be as comprehensive as what is available in the Scripture Pavilion nor would it be the most suitable ones for Xiao Yan.
High-level Di Class Dou Technique: "Shocking Waves"
High-level Di Class skills: "Sea of Inclusion"
High-level Di Class Dou Technique: "Thunder Half Moon Slash"
Finally, Xiao Yan's eyes stopped on a fiery red light orb.
High-level Di Class Dou Technique: " Crimson Flame Demon Body "
The Crimson Flame Demon Body was created by a high-level Dou Venerate, the Flame Demon Venerable a thousand years ago. To practice this method, you need to use high-level flames to temper the body. At minor success, the body would be comparable to a Dou Ancestor, at major success the body would be able to compete with Dou Venerate experts. The higher the flame, the stronger the body will be. To achieve great success, you need at least one kind of Heavenly Flame to temper the body all year round. Additionally, practicing this body increases resistance to flames.
"It's you," Xiao Yan licked his lips and asked the Dou Venerate Guardian to make a copy.
The technique he is practicing now is also an Di Class advanced technique, called "The Eight Desolate Flames." But when Xiao Xuan threw the jade book to him, Xiao Yan knew that it was time for him to go out and find that so called "Flame Mantra." He was destined to embark on his path of devouring Heavenly Flames.
After copying the book "Crimson Flame Demon Body," Xiao Yan casually found a few pill recipes and ancient books that he was interested in and then walked upward again.
"Young Master, I'm afraid the two of us can only accompany you up here," Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu suddenly stopped at the entrance.
The two smiled bitterly and said, "From the seventh floor, all the martial arts and Dou Technique at the Tian Class and above are stored inside. Even if the two of us obtain the token of the Supreme Elder, we are not qualified to enter."
"No problem, then I will trouble the two elders to wait for me here."
"Young Master, from the seventh floor, each floor will have a terrifying pressure. The highest ninth floor would need you to be a Dou Saint to withstand it. If you can't bear it don't insist and come back. You can after all, revisit this place later on when you are stronger."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded. Since the fourth floor, he has felt an invisible pressure. When he reached the sixth floor, this pressure made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he still wanted to take a look at the seventh floor.
Thus, he resolutely stepped into the seventh floor.
Boom! The terrifying pressure suddenly increased exponentially, making Xiao Yan feel even more uncomfortable than when he was having motion sickness in his previous life. Fortunately, although it was extremely uncomfortable, he could still move slowly.
In the seventh floor, there were only a few thousand light orbs left. Tian Class martial arts and Dou Technique are so rare that most are created by Dou Saint powerhouses. Some Dou Saint experts may not even be able to create a set of Tian Class Dou Technique in their entire lives. Even with the Xiao clan's heritage, it is quite amazing to collect more than a thousand different skills.
Tian Class low-level Dou Technique: "Great Sun Thunder Art"
Tian Class low-level Dou Technique: "Angering Heaven Art"
Tian Class low-level Dou Technique: "Dragon Emperor Swims Through Dimensions"
Any one of these is enough to cause a bloody storm in the Dou Qi Continent if thrown out.
"Unfortunately, it's useless for me to learn these things now." Xiao Yan thought for a moment and canceled his plan to take them now.
