In the quiet, silent chamber, the concept of time becomes profoundly blurred. As sandalwood incense drifts gently, a refreshing, invigorating aroma fills the air, and time itself slips away quietly—like this, in the serene pace—over three months. Xiao Yan's meditation and seclusion lasted exactly three months, a duration that even he himself had not anticipated. Yet, in that deep state of unconsciousness, he had forgotten the passage of time, fully immersed in the exquisite sensation of physical renewal. Sitting still on the cold jade bed, Xiao Yan remained serene. His skin now carried a delicate purple hue, and faintly, one could perceive a subtle, pulsing crimson flow beneath it—radiating an exceptionally powerful energy. The ripples of light shimmered, but now, those ripples danced upon Xiao Yan’s body, spreading in concentric waves of deep purple and crimson, radiating outward from his heart and gradually extending to every part of his frame. This luminous flow persisted for three months! Over this three-month period, Xiao Yan’s originally fair skin was transformed into a rich purple-red hue, and even his once-black hair subtly took on a reddish tint, appearing slightly otherworldly. Of course, the changes extended beyond his appearance—his aura also reached the true peak of the late stage of a First-Star Stellar Saint, just one step away from achieving the rank of Second-Star Stellar Saint. The refinement of his bloodline clearly brought significant benefits to Xiao Yan. When Xiao Yan's aura reached the peak of his first-star late stage, he still hadn't awakened from that state of deep slumber... Time flowed slowly within this state of sleep—ninety-one days... ninety-three days... ninety-seven days... ninety-nine days... Day one hundred! As day after day passed, it was precisely on the hundredth day that a strange, rustling sound suddenly emerged within the quiet chamber. The sound resembled flowing water, and when the gaze followed the direction of the sound, it revealed that it originated from within Xiao Yan, who was seated on the cold jade bed. At the moment the rustling sound began, intense ripples surged throughout the space surrounding Xiao Yan, and waves of tangible energy coalesced into spiraling gusts of wind, rotating around him and emitting a continuous whispering sound. The speed of these wind spirals gradually increased, until more and more energy poured into the chamber, being drawn into the spirals, while the spirals themselves rapidly expanded in volume. "Boom!" The sturdy chamber was instantly torn to shreds by the ever-growing vortex of wind, brilliant light pouring in from outside and illuminating the space. "What's going on?" "What happened?" The sudden surge of energy whirlwind appearing on Dong Long Island immediately caught the attention of numerous powerful figures. Instantly, figures began to move swiftly, appearing within the chamber's outer area in just a few flashes, their eyes wide as they gazed upon the wildly spinning energy storm. "Don't panic—each of you take your assigned duties." Amidst the astonishment of the onlookers, a calm voice emanated from the Dragon Palace. A few figures then swiftly emerged and joined the sky above—Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian among them. Upon seeing Zi Yan arrive, the members of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon clan promptly bowed and then stepped back slightly, retreating to a comfortable distance. "I asked why it had taken so long to heal, and it turns out I was aiming for a breakthrough..." Zi Yan floated in the sky, gazing down with composure at Xiao Yan caught within the whirlwind, and smiled. The young physician and Qing Lin also quietly exhaled in relief. For these three months, they had been deeply worried—so much so that if it hadn't been for Zi Yan's assurance that nothing would go wrong, they would have insisted on entering the quiet chambers themselves. After all, Xiao Yan's injuries had been severe, and everyone had feared the worst. Yet, the most dire outcome they had anticipated never came to pass. Instead, Xiao Yan had unexpectedly benefited from the situation, once again drawing upon the power of his inner bloodline to directly advance to the second star of the Supreme Saint rank! "Xiao Yan and his brother truly are no ordinary individuals. Just a few months ago, they were only at the initial stage of a one-star Stellar Sovereign; now, they have already reached the threshold of breaking through to the two-star level..." Standing by, Yao Ming also sincerely admired their progress. Although he had occasionally returned to the Nine-Youth Earth冥Snake Clan, most of his time had been spent on Dong Long Island. After finally securing a chance to climb onto the great tree of Tai Xu Ancient Dragon, he naturally seized every opportunity—especially now, as Dong Long Island was gradually taking shape as the unifying force of the entire Tai Xu Ancient Dragon lineage. As the celestial beings discussed萧In's transformation, the energy flowing into the wind vortex grew increasingly formidable. Eventually, the wind vortex itself grew thick and viscous, with droplets of liquid energy floating around it, gradually radiating a profound and awe-inspiring surge as the vortex spun. As more and more energy coalesced into liquid droplets, the wind vortex gradually transformed into an energy whirlpool. Within just a few minutes, the final strand of energy was also condensed into a droplet and merged into the vast whirlpool. "Boom!" At the very moment the wind vortex fully became an energy whirlpool, the entire whirlpool trembled violently. Then, the one who had been in a deep slumber for nearly a hundred days—Xiao Yan—suddenly opened his eyes, two astonishingly vibrant purple-red beams bursting forth from his gaze! Two streaks of deep purple light surged across the sky. Within one of those streaks, many ancient dragon族 members on Dong Long Island felt an unusual pressure—a pressure that, too, originated from their bloodline. "Is this… the pressure of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline? How could it be manifesting within his body?" As the ancient dragon族 members were stunned by this phenomenon, a flicker of surprise also passed over Purple Research's face. From the light, she sensed a familiar aroma. "It's the power of the Dragon Phoenix bloodline, with a blend of other forces intertwined." They were unaware that the bloodline power within Xiao Yan's body was a harmonious fusion of the Xiao clan's bloodline, the ancient clan's bloodline, and the Dragon Phoenix bloodline—naturally carrying a distinct touch of the Dragon Phoenix. As waves of gasps echoed across Donglong Island, Xiao Yan's mouth suddenly snapped open, and soon everyone witnessed the massive energy water vortex transforming into cascading water columns—each one directly swallowed whole by Xiao Yan's body! "Boom!" When the final energy column was absorbed into Xiao Yan's body, the cold jade bed upon which he had been seated shattered into fine powder, and an exceptionally powerful aura began to radiate gently from within him, spreading throughout the surrounding realm. "Success!" Feeling that powerful presence, Zi Yan and the others slowly exhaled, their eyes filled with astonishment and relief. "Hmm..." Xiao Yan lifted his head, slowly releasing a thick stream of breath. As this breath coalesced, it formed a single droplet that fell into the scattered cold jade powder below. Instantly, light surged through the powder, causing it to re-solidify into a new stone platform—now radiating an astonishing surge of energy. With a deep breath, Xiao Yan finally stood up, gently clenching his hands, and an exceptionally powerful force surged instantly through every cell of his body. "Such strong flesh..." Xiao Yan slightly felt the current state within him, a pleased expression flashing across his eyes. After three months of bloodline refinement, the strength of his physical body now likely surpassed that of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon. "This time, it's been a blessing in disguise..." Xiao Yan gently pressed his palm against his chest. Had it not been for the life-or-death battle he had endured, the blood within his heart likely would never have activated, and he certainly wouldn't have reached the two-star Stellar Sage level so swiftly. Moreover, his physical body would not have been strengthened to such an extent. Now, Xiao Yan could sense that even after he had recovered from that state, a steady flow of deep purple and crimson blood continued to circulate through his heart, constantly cleansing and refining his body. Though the efficiency was slower, the consistency over time was remarkable. This continuous, unceasing refinement, if accumulated, was truly formidable. "Haha, Xiao Yan, congratulations! Just within a few months, you've achieved another breakthrough—such a pace of cultivation truly leaves me in awe!" As Xiao Yan was delighted by his own transformation, a hearty laugh echoed from the sky. Yao Ming and the others descended from the heavens, landing nearby. Xiao Yan bowed slightly to Yao Ming, then turned his gaze toward Zi Yan. Upon seeing that her cheeks had regained their natural color, he felt a subtle relief—seeming to confirm that Zi Yan had indeed recovered from her previous state of weakness. "How long have I been in seclusion?" "Over three months, just approaching a hundred days," the young physician smiled. "A hundred days?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened slightly, then suddenly asked, "Has there been any news from the Alliance?" "Yes, news arrived a few days ago—Master Yao has instructed you to return to the Starfall Pavilion as soon as possible." "Little Doctor Xiang's face also grew serious as she looked at Xiao Yan, speaking softly, 'The Pure Lotus Spirit Fire is about to emerge, and the Soul Palace has begun making significant moves. It seems they too intend to act upon the Pure Lotus Spirit Fire...' Xiao Yan nodded slowly. The timing indeed aligns closely with the emergence of the Pure Lotus Spirit Fire. As for the Soul Palace, he had long suspected they wouldn't content themselves with peace—such a celestial and divine treasure as the Pure Lotus Spirit Fire would surely be a target for their ambition." "Then, let us set out today for the Star-Devouring Pavilion. The matter of the Spirit Fire deserves thorough discussion." Xiao Yan's voice carried a certain weight. For the Pure Lotus Spirit Fire, he had invested immense effort. It would be a powerful weapon in his struggle against both the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan. No matter what, he would have to secure the Spirit Fire!
