"Master Fengyan?" Hearing Tang Zhen's murmured words, Tang Huo'er, standing beside him, was slightly taken aback, expressing a touch of curiosity. As for Tang Huo'er's unique flame, Tang Zhen smiled and glanced at Xiao Xian, who was deeply immersed in the world of the crystal sphere, then placed his hands behind his back, gazing toward the roof, his eyes filled with deep reverence. "Master Fengyan was also the founder of our Fengyan Valley. However, due to the long span of time, many people have even begun to forget this once-dominant peak strength that once shook the entire continent." Upon hearing this, Tang Huo'er couldn't help but stroke her lips—she had never heard of Master Fengyan before. Clearly, the passage of time had been quite substantial. "Was Master Fengyan truly formidable?" Tang Huo'er asked with genuine interest, as she found herself increasingly captivated by this legendary figure. "How strong indeed... According to my knowledge, during that era, the Qi Continent had five supreme beings, each representing the pinnacle of power on the continent, and the Burned-Innate Elder was one of them. All five were masters of profound strength, mere steps away from the legendary realm of the Qi Emperor...” Tang Zhen spoke slowly, his voice filled with reverence for those supreme figures of the era. “The Qi Emperor...” Tang Huo'er's delicate face was utterly awed. The title itself, without any embellishment, carried infinite weight, making everyone beneath it feel insignificant, like humble insects. “Who were the other four supreme beings?” Tan Zhen looked thoughtful, and after a while, finally said, "Due to the passage of time, I can't quite recall the specific titles of the other four, but I do know that among them, three belong to the three major powers—the Ancient Clan, the Spirit Temple, and the Dan Tower..." "All true leading forces today," Tan Huo'er exclaimed in amazement, then asked curiously, "What about the fourth one? Which power is he from? Could it be the Flower Sect or the Heaven-Ming Sect?" Tan Zhen slowly shook his head, his brows also showing some doubt, saying, "This person seems not to belong to any of the current leading powers in the Central Plains. However, I remember his name clearly—according to ancestral records, this supreme master had a close relationship with the Burned-Flame Elder, and it's said that the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations were actually created by him." "Indeed, the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations were created by that supreme master?" "Heard that, Tang Huo'er's mouth instantly opened in surprise, her face filled with astonishment, as though hard to believe. "The ancestral records state this, but as to whether it's true or not, given the long span of time between then and now, it's difficult to verify," Tang Zhen nodded and said. "By the way, what's the name of this mysterious supreme master?" Tang Huo'er grew even more curious and quickly asked. Tang Zhen gently stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, then said with some hesitation, "It seems... it's called Xiao... Xiao Xuan, isn't it? Ah, perhaps I haven't revisited those ancestral records in many years, so my memory isn't very clear. Back then, Burned-Inn Valley's influence was no weaker than that of the Spirit Palace and other leading powers. Yet sadly, ever since, Burned-Inn Valley has never produced another figure of the caliber of its elder ancestors—thus, the name has gradually fallen behind that of the Spirit Palace and similar institutions." As he spoke, Tang Zhen sighed deeply. "Xiao Xuan..." Tang Huo'er murmured, then glanced quietly at Xiao Yan, who was resting with his eyes closed, and smiled, "Xiao Yan also bears the surname Xiao. Could it be that he has some connection with this elder, Master Xiao Xuan?" Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen was momentarily startled, then chuckled helplessly, saying, "With so many people bearing the surname Xiao in the world, wouldn't every single one of them be related to that elder, Master Xiao Xuan, according to your reasoning?" Tang Huo'er flicked her tongue—this was merely a casual remark on her part, and she certainly didn't truly believe it. "Besides, does Father really elevate Xiao Yan to the level of our Burn-Inn Elder, Master Burn-Inn? Perhaps he's placing too much emphasis on him." Though Tang Huo'er held a favorable opinion of Xiao Yan, she still felt that, compared to the supreme warriors of that era, Xiao Yan seemed to fall somewhat short. "Hehe, don't underestimate this young man. I always feel that Xiao Yan is no ordinary person—his unique fire lotus technique truly leaves me in awe. Moreover, he's only in his early twenties, yet he has achieved such remarkable accomplishments in both alchemy and qi cultivation. Such talent—well, even you can't match that, I'd say." Tang Zhen turned his gaze toward Xiao Yan, who was seated closed-eyed, his admiration for the young man deepening. He sighed softly. Tan Huo'er pouted slightly, though she wasn't entirely satisfied—she had seen it with her own eyes, so she could only murmured in resignation. Before she had faced Xu Xiao, she still believed she could give him a solid fight. But after witnessing that flaming lotus bloom, her confidence had completely vanished; she knew now that facing it, she would surely meet her end. "A young talent of such caliber—yet not one of our Burn-Inn Valley's own. How could anyone not feel regret?" Tan Zhen sighed deeply, and with that, said no more. He waved his sleeve, clearing the dust from the ground, then settled into a meditative posture, intending to wait here for Xiao Xin's awakening. Seeing this, Tan Huo'er could only sit down beside him. The two sat in silence for nearly a full day. During that time, Xiao Xin's body remained as still as a statue, motionless—had it not been for the steady flow of his vital energy, even Tan Zhen might have thought something unforeseen had occurred during the transmission. In the spacious pavilion, the crimson crystal sphere continuously emitted brilliant red glimmers, illuminating the hall as if it were daytime. Beside the sphere, Xiao Yan still maintained the posture of his hands extended, though faint red glimmers now seemed to ripple subtly across his skin, appearing quite unusual. "How come he hasn't recovered yet? I only spent an hour during my own transmission..." Tang Huo'er gently rested her hands on her cheek, gazing at Xiao Yan's motionless form, and finally couldn't help speaking. "You initially neglected to fully absorb the ancestral experiences and improvements contained within the crystal sphere, merely for the sake of convenience. Xiao Yan, however, chose to embrace everything completely." Tang Zhen said calmly. "Once I've processed those absorbed experiences, I'll be able to absorb more as well," Tang Huo'er puffed out her tongue, chuckling happily. "Ah, I just don't know what to do with you. Your talent is truly outstanding—should you only put in a bit more effort, you'd surely become the next master of Burned Flame Valley. With sufficient strength, even the old fellows you find so tedious would no longer be able to nag you..." Tang Zhen shook his head, speaking with deep resignation. "Uh-huh..." Tang Huo'er quickly nodded, as if afraid Tang Zhen would continue his endless stream of remarks. "Ah!" Seeing this, Tang Zhen sighed even more, shook his head again, and then his expression suddenly brightened. He turned toward the crystal ball, where he noticed the crimson glow inside was rapidly fading. In contrast, Xiao Yan remained radiant with red light. After a few moments, as his eyes trembled, they slowly opened. "Wake up?" Tang Zhen immediately stood up, smiling warmly upon seeing Xiao Yan's eyes open. Xiao Yan's body remained still, as if still organizing the vast amount of information that had poured into his mind. Only after a while did he suddenly tremble, a faint glow of vitality rising in his dull eyes, before turning to Tang Zhen and giving a warm nod, then bowing respectfully and saying, "Thank you, Master Tang, for your generous gift!" Xiao Yan knew well that receiving such a transmission would undoubtedly bring significant benefits, and though he and Tang Zhen were not particularly close, Tang's actions truly deserved his sincere and earnest gratitude. Tang Zhen, in turn, merely waved his hand casually and smiled, saying, "Shouldn't the complete cultivation method of Tianhuo Sanxuan Bi be already clear in your mind?" Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, and as his mind stirred, a profound and intricate cultivation method instantly appeared in his thoughts—the complete version of Tianhuo Sanxuan Bi, which not only included the first transformation but also detailed methods for the second and third transformations. "Finally, I've secured it..." At that moment, Xiao Yan's heart was filled with exhilaration. With the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation, his combat power would surge dramatically. "While the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation can significantly enhance one's strength in the short term, the energy it generates is exceptionally turbulent and requires careful handling," Tang Zhen reminded him. Xiao Yan nodded in agreement—he had known this all along. After all, he had been practicing the first transformation for many years, and now he was thoroughly accustomed to managing such turbulent energy. "Since we've obtained the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation, let's go ahead and make our move," Tang Zhen smiled, stepping first down the gallery level, followed closely by Xiao Yan and Tang Huo'er. Stepping out of the Combat Technique Hall, the fresh air greeted Xiao Yan, instantly clearing his spirits. "Master Tang, I've been a bit of a disturbance here over the past few days. Today, perhaps Xiao Yan will finally have to make his departure. Should there be anything in the future that I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out." With the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation now secured, there was little reason to remain at Burned Flame Valley. Thus, Xiao Yan bowed respectfully. "Are you leaving then?" Hearing this, Tang Zhen had indeed intended to extend a little more hospitality, but in the end, he could only sigh and nod, saying, "I'm sure you must have your own matters to attend to. Then I shall not press the matter further. Just remember—do not let the Heavenly Fire Triple Transformation be disclosed beyond this circle." "Ah, Master Tang, please rest assured. Xiao Yan is far from being an unwise or indifferent person when it comes to such matters." Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, fully understanding the importance of such formalities. Tang Zhen smiled warmly and then patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, saying, "Whenever you have time, feel free to visit my Burned Flame Valley. As long as I remain the Master of Burned Flame Valley, you, Xiao Yan, shall always be
