Chapter 48: The Flame Mantra

Dont go, Cousin Xiao Yan!!! Meier doesnt want you to leave!

After Xiao Zhan left, Xiao Mei clung tightly to Xiao Yans back, her words filled with a pleading tone and a hint of tears, hoping to persuade him to stay.

However, Xiao Yan, who would usually comfort Xiao Mei at the first opportunity, remained unmoved this time, his eyes filled with determination.

He had made this decision before the New Year, and he wouldnt change it for anyone.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan with a complex expression, asking softly, Have you really decided?

Yes. Xiao Yan nodded solemnly and looked at Xiao Yu, I have to go.

If he wanted to propagate his righteousness to the world, he had to perfect his own righteousness first. If there were significant flaws in his righteousness that even he couldnt accept, how could he spread it?

But just thinking about it wouldnt be enough to address the flaw. He had to personally experience and understand it to truly see it clearly.

Is that so Xiao Yu murmured, sighing silently in her heart.

Seeing Xiao Yans appearance, it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

Xiao Yu shrugged her shoulders lightly and smiled helplessly.

Indeed, Xiao Yan was usually so easygoing, but when it came to certain matters, he became unwavering and wouldnt allow anyone to object. That was the Xiao Yan she knew.

Since youve said so, I wont stop you too much. Xiao Yu spread out her hand gently and said softly, But can you postpone it for a few more days?

Why? Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, There shouldnt be anything urgent for the Xiao Clan after all, right?

Ever since he regained his strength, Xiao Yan had been planning to go out and gain experience. However, he was held back by the coming of adulthood and the New Year celebrations. Now that he had completed all the necessary tasks, he expressed his intention to leave.

If there was anything urgent, it would only be related to cultivation techniques. But that didnt matter since the Dou Qi Hall had already opened up completely due to Xiao Yans insistence. Any member of the Xiao Clan could learn anything they wanted from the Dou Qi Hall, including cultivation techniques. Xiao Yan had planned to pick a technique tonight and learn it before leaving.

While Xiao Yan was feeling puzzled, Xiao Yu explained, Theres nothing urgent for the Xiao Clan, but Jia Nan Academy will be recruiting students here in a while. Why dont you participate in the enrollment process before you leave?

Yes! Jia Nan Academy! Xiao Meis spirit was instantly lifted upon hearing Xiao Yus words. Cousin Xiao Yan, come with us to participate in the enrollment! Maybe you wont leave after that!

Hearing Xiao Meis words, Xiao Xuners eyes also revealed a glimmer of hope.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

But that hope lasted only for a moment before disappearing completely, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Xiao Yans decision wouldnt be swayed by the reputation of Jia Nan Academy.

And the truth was just as Xiao Xuner had anticipated. As soon as Xiao Yan heard Xiao Yus proposal, his initial reaction was to refuse.

It was evident which matter was more important to Xiao Yan between attending the academy and going on a journey to perfect his own righteousness, even if it was the renowned Jia Nan Academy.

This action was akin to deception.

However, since the fireworks last night, Yao Chen had already decided in her heart that she wouldnt hide anything from Xiao Yan, nor would she deceive him.

Yao Chen knew very well that this Heavenly Flame didnt bring as much help to Xiao Yans righteousness as it did to her own cause, and absorbing a Heavenly Flame was a life-threatening endeavor.

In short, Xiao Yan didnt have a reason to risk his life to obtain a Heavenly Flame.

But she, Yao Chen, needed it! She needed Xiao Yan to risk his life to obtain a Heavenly Flame!

Yao Chen lightly waved her jade hand in the air, and a red scroll and a black scroll appeared before Xiao Yan.

Then, Yao Chens breathtakingly beautiful face turned serious as she looked at Xiao Yan.

The red scroll is a low-tier fire attribute Earth-rank technique called Fire Displacement Palm.'

The black scroll is a low-tier yellow-rank fire attribute technique called Flame Mantra.'

Listening to Yao Chens explanation, Xiao Yan furrowed his brows slightly but didnt interrupt.

Techniques with such a large gap in levels wouldnt be placed together by Yao Chen without reason.

Since that was the case, it was only possible that the Flame Mantra, the low-tier yellow-rank technique, concealed a mystery.

Yao Chen spoke again.

Although these two techniques have a significant difference in level, according to the description, the Flame Mantra can evolve into a Heaven-rank technique.

!!!!!!!

Upon hearing Yao Chens words, Xiao Yans pupils suddenly contracted.

A technique that can evolve?! Its something that is unheard of!

Although he was deeply shocked, Xiao Yan didnt have the slightest doubt about Yao Chens words.

If Yao Chen said it, then the technique must be as she described.

At that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly understood something. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Yao Chen, asking, Senior Yao, could it be that the condition for the evolution of this technique is related to the Heavenly Flame?

Thats correct.

Yao Chen nodded and then uttered a startling statement.

The Flame Mantra evolves by devouring Heavenly Flames!
