The Spring God Ravine had vanished. When this news spread throughout the Black Corner Region, many were greatly shocked, but no one expressed much doubt. Instead, they traveled great distances to the original site of the Spring God Ravine.
The result did not disappoint these former powerhouses of the Black Corner Region; on the contrary, they were almost utterly astonished.
Before them lay a vast basin, filled with rubble, bearing no resemblance to the original Spring God Ravine.
However, only a few nearby knew that this vast basin was the original Spring God Ravine, and upon seeing it, everyone's faces showed shock.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this place had been transformed by a battle between powerful figures. However, with their limited imagination, they could hardly fathom what kind of powerful being could have wrought such a deep ravine into this state.
At the very least, there shouldn't be such a powerful being in the Black Corner Region.
To reduce the once pristine Spring God Ravine to its current state with just one battle—such a powerful figure is terrifyingly formidable.
Around the perimeter of this crater, comparable to a basin, figures stood like ants, all with expressions of profound emotion. Meanwhile
, towards Spring God City, a group of figures in academy uniforms anxiously gazed at the massive pit.
"Elder, even you haven't found Elder Yan Xiao's whereabouts?"
a silver-haired woman beside Su Qian asked anxiously.
The woman possessed stunningly beautiful, aloof features, and her silver robes gave her an air of icy goddess.
Who else could this be but Han Yue? However, compared to her usual aloofness, Han Yue's brows now betrayed deep worry.
The strength Xiao Yan had displayed had indeed astonished them, the students, and they even speculated that the drastic changes that had occurred here were likely caused by Xiao Yan's arrival.
Although Xiao Yan's strength was considerably greater than the Grand Elder's, it was unlikely he could cause such a terrifying commotion in Spring God Ravine.
Su Qian stood to the side, his brows furrowed slightly, but ultimately he sighed helplessly.
"Such terrifying battle fluctuations are something even the Dean himself couldn't achieve.
The combatants must be at least at the peak of the Dou Zun level. Elder Yan Xiao, though powerful, would likely be in grave danger if caught in the aftershocks of such a battle."
Hearing Su Qian's words, Han Yue's originally fair face turned even paler.
The students who had been with Xiao Yan also wore gloomy expressions. After spending so many days together, they had developed some affection for Elder Yan Xiao.
But if he were to perish here, it would be truly tragic.
Just as everyone was feeling sorrowful, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the previously calm sky.
As the rift opened, a figure in black was forcefully spat out.
"From now on, your status and power as the Emperor's son will be temporarily frozen. Boy, cultivate diligently, and I wish you a speedy attainment of the Dou Sheng level."
Xiao Shaobei's calm voice rang out, and then the spatial rift slowly closed.
"This guy, can't he be a little gentler?"
Watching the slowly healing spatial rift, Xiao Yan muttered speechlessly.
With his appearance, the faces of the group of powerful individuals who had only come to explore the changes in the Spring God Valley and see if there were any opportunities changed slightly.
To be able to tear open space out of thin air—just that alone was a feat few in the Black Corner Region could accomplish.
Compared to the astonishment of these people, the Canaan Academy students were initially stunned upon seeing the black figure, then their faces lit up with joy.
"It's Elder Yan Xiao! It's Elder Yan Xiao! Heavens, he's still alive!"
a student exclaimed, only to be smacked on the ground by Su Qian's flick on the forehead.
"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that!" Su Qian glared at him disapprovingly, while Han Yue beside him also gave him an unfriendly look.
Under their gazes, the student could only manage a forced laugh.
At this moment, Lin Xiuya took the lead in shouting,
"Elder Yan Xiao, we're here! Elder Yan Xiao!"
Following his shout, a group of Canaan Academy students cheered joyfully.
Hearing this, those around them looked at the Canaan Academy students with even greater awe.
The strength of Canaan Academy was indeed unfathomable. Having a rather famous Su Qian was one thing, but this mysterious powerhouse who suddenly appeared today was also from Canaan Academy.
Hearing these shouts, Xiao Yan's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately turned his gaze to the Canaan Academy students.
Seeing the group of jubilant students, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, took a few steps in the air, and arrived in front of them.
"Hehe, Elder Yan Xiao, I knew it. You're incredibly powerful; you'd be safe."
Seeing Xiao Yan return safely, Elder Su Qian smiled, while Han Yue's eyes reddened slightly.
Seeing the beauty's expression, Xiao Yan felt a pang of apology. He had rushed off because of Xiao Wu's matter and had left Han Yue behind.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. After freezing his status as the Imperial Son, the Two Saints of Literature and Martial Arts could no longer serve as his protectors.
From today onward, he could no longer rely on the Xiao Clan's formidable background and would have to rely on himself to reach the coveted Dou Sheng realm.
But despite his melancholy, he couldn't neglect his pursuit of women.
So, in full view of everyone, he pulled Han Yue into his arms, gently resting his chin on her silver hair and whispering, "I'm sorry to have worried you."
Han Yue's eyes, which had only been slightly red before, now flushed red all over her face, her complexion like a peach blossom. She struggled shyly, but couldn't escape Xiao Yan's embrace.
"So many people are watching!" In the end, she could only hum softly, like a mosquito.
"So what if they're watching? Do I have to sneak around when I'm picking up a girl?" Xiao Yan continued to hold her slender waist nonchalantly, openly looking at the group of students as if they were the ones who should be ashamed.
Under Xiao Yan's gaze, Lin Xiuya and the others immediately understood his intentions, turning their heads away and pretending not to see anything.
In the end, even the older Su Qian couldn't stand it anymore.
"Although the young man is young, how can he do something as blatant as picking up female students?"
Su Qian couldn't help but cough twice.
"Elder, why are you coughing here? Have you caught a cold?"
Xiao Yan looked at Su Qian with an unfriendly expression.
"It's nothing, nothing. I'm just so happy to see Elder Yan Xiao return."
Su Qian was momentarily speechless,
but finally said helplessly. Hearing his heartfelt words, a satisfied look appeared on Xiao Yan's face.
"Let's go. Han Feng's matter has been resolved. We can go back to the academy."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly at the group, and everyone nodded in agreement without any objection.
Now that Han Feng's matter was resolved, Xiao Yan no longer needed to pretend and could reveal his identity.
Thus, led by the two Dou Zong experts, the group of students flew directly back to Canaan Academy.
Only after the group disappeared into the horizon did the group of Black Corner Region experts look at each other, ultimately marveling at the profound foundation of Canaan Academy.
Back at Canaan Academy, Su Qian first settled the students in, while Xiao Yan deepened his bond with Han Yue before bidding her farewell.
Afterwards, Xiao Yan visited Su Qian again, glancing at the over ten-foot-tall purple cocoon of light, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
This trip had taken approximately a month, which clearly wasn't enough time for Zi Yan to truly hatch. It would likely take a year for this little girl to reach the Dou Huang level.
For the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, Dou Huang was a significant watershed. Once crossed, they transitioned from infancy to adulthood, their strength rapidly increasing, soaring to the peak of the seventh rank. With Zi Yan's Dragon Emperor-level bloodline, reaching the eighth rank wouldn't be difficult with enough energy.
After instructing Su Qian to look after Zi Yan, Xiao Yan finally returned to his room.
Upon hearing of Xiao Yan's return, many elders from the Alchemy Department eagerly rushed over to offer him a banquet, but Xiao Yan politely declined.
His most pressing task now is to refine the Sea Heart Flame as quickly as possible.
Although from Xiao Yan's current perspective, the Sea Heart Flame is already an ordinary strange fire, it is still the key to his advancement to Dou Zun.
So, after resting quietly for a night, Xiao Yan returned to the valley where he had refined the Fallen Heart Flame before, and slowly took out the Sea Heart Flame from a spatial crystal ball.
This crystal ball was compressed and condensed by Xiao Wen using spatial power, and only such a strange power could temporarily store such a rare treasure as a strange fire.
The valley was silent, and Xiao Yan had set up some simple formations around him for protection. Now that he had lost the two saints of literature and martial arts, Xiao Yan felt that long-lost inconvenience.
However, he also understood that to become a true strongman, one cannot be protected forever. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, and after completely calming his mind, Xiao Yan slowly looked at the Sea Heart Flame in front of him.
A deep blue flame, like seawater, hovered before Xiao Yan, appearing extremely mysterious. As the flame rose, it slowly spread out like clear seawater, creating faint ripples.
This fire was born deep in the ocean, only able to emerge at the point where magma and seawater collide, and after a thousand years of tempering, it could become this magical flame with the power of a strange fire.
Seeing this flame, Xiao Yan did not hesitate and directly reached into the Sea Heart Flame.
With his current strength and the protection of the pills, the Sea Heart Flame posed almost no threat to him. After struggling violently for a few moments, Xiao Yan grabbed the fire seed deep within.
With a forceful grab, a transparent, water-blue liquid resembling nectar was pulled out by Xiao Yan.
This fire seed, though resembling seawater, emitted a scorching heat, but this heat was nothing to Xiao Yan now.
He slowly opened his mouth and threw the liquid into it.
As the flame entered Xiao Yan's mouth, the valley, which had been slightly noisy, fell completely silent.
The empty valley was utterly still, save for the black-clad youth sitting quietly cross-legged, a seven-colored or azure flame occasionally flickering from his body.
Two months passed in a flash, the weather changing from the sweltering heat of summer to early autumn. A cool autumn breeze swept through the valley, causing the youth's long hair to flutter in the wind.
On a large rock beside the valley, Han Yue stood, watching the black-clad youth with concern.
Xiao Yan had kept his secluded cultivation spot quite hidden, as the two sages of literature and martial arts were no longer there to protect him. He had only told Han Yue and Su Qian about it.
Su Qian had also ordered the area within a hundred miles to be sealed off to prevent Xiao Yan from being disturbed.
"I wonder what realm he will reach when he opens his eyes again," Han Yue thought, looking at Xiao Yan in the valley with a mixture of concern and frustration.
She already knew the information her family had gathered at the Pill Tower: Xiao Yan did indeed have two confidantes there, both from top-ranking families among the five great families of the Pill Tower.
Either of these families was comparable to the Four Directions Pavilion, making the Han family seem insignificant in comparison.
"If that's the case, why did you provoke me?" Looking at the calm Xiao Yan in the valley, Han Yue gently bit her red lips, a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Just as countless thoughts raced through her mind, the previously motionless Xiao Yan trembled slightly. Then, an extremely terrifying aura slowly spread from his body, as if a sleeping dragon was slowly awakening.
"He's awake!" Seeing the fluctuation in Xiao Yan's aura, the complex expression on Han Yue's pretty face completely disappeared, replaced by pure joy.
However, this joy didn't last long; her face paled, and she involuntarily moved several hundred feet away before feeling much better.
At that very moment, the aura resembling a giant dragon fully awakened.
In an instant, a vast and overwhelming pressure, centered on the valley, completely enveloped an area of a hundred miles.
Sensing such a powerful aura, Han Yue's pretty face turned pale again. No matter how outstanding she was, she was ultimately just a Dou Ling.
The fact that she hadn't knelt under such a terrifying aura was already a testament to her willpower.
"This aura is definitely a whole level higher than the Grand Elder's life aura."
Han Yue looked at the slender figure slowly rising from the valley, a look of horror on her face.
"This is... a Dou Zun!"
