Chapter 111 Strange Natural Phenomenon
Rewinding to a few hours earlier, due to the absorption of the strange fire, the "Burning Technique" had evolved from a high-level Earth Rank to a low-level Heaven Rank. However, at this moment, the outside world suddenly became stormy, with winds rising and thunder roaring. All the battle energy within a hundred miles gathered here, which was incredibly terrifying.
Natural phenomena are not uncommon in the Dou Qi Continent. Generally speaking, there are only three possibilities that can cause such miraculous events: First, a high-grade elixir is born, which will trigger pill lightning and cause strange phenomena; second, someone's strength breaks through to an extremely powerful realm, thus triggering a strange phenomenon; and third, a Heaven-rank cultivation technique appears in the world, which will cause this situation.
Note that the appearance of this so-called Heavenly Rank cultivation technique does not mean that a long-lost Heavenly Rank cultivation technique has been found, but rather that someone has created a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, which is why this situation has occurred.
Such a natural phenomenon was something that Xiao Hu and the others could not possibly have missed, which is why they all gathered here.
There are only three situations that can cause natural phenomena, as mentioned before. The first is the appearance of a high-grade elixir, which usually fills the surrounding area with a fragrant aroma. However, this situation does not exist now. Furthermore, Xiao Feng is not an alchemist and does not know how to refine medicine, so it is impossible for such a high-grade elixir to appear.
So now only these two possibilities remain. However, Xiao Feng's strength is already extremely formidable. If he were to break through again, it wouldn't be impossible for him to cause such a natural phenomenon. Similarly, given his strength and knowledge, it's entirely plausible that he could create his own Heaven-Rank cultivation technique.
However, there were no other abnormalities in these two situations, making it impossible to distinguish between them. Xiao Hu and the others were also unclear about the specific reason for this strange phenomenon. But no matter what the reason was, whether it was a breakthrough in cultivation or the creation of a self-made Heaven-Rank technique, it was enough to excite them greatly.
Inside the secret chamber, Xiao Feng swallowed several more pills and began his attempt to break through to the next realm. As soon as the pills entered his stomach, their effects began to be released. Xiao Feng immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique, absorbing and refining this energy, while also absorbing the battle qi that had previously emanated from the secret chamber.
Several days later, Xiao Feng suddenly opened his eyes. A golden light flashed and disappeared. When the golden light appeared, even the space in front of him could not withstand it and shattered.
Clenching his fist, feeling the long-lost strength within him, a smile appeared on his face. "Another breakthrough? As expected, you haven't disappointed me. Now I'm only one step away from regaining my original strength!"
"Although my cultivation level is slightly weaker than before, my combat strength has improved considerably. With my current strength, defeating my previous self would probably not be difficult at all," Xiao Feng thought to himself.
Indeed, that's true. Although Xiao Feng was previously at the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm, he is now only at the late stage of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm. But don't forget, he now has three more Strange Flames! The power of Strange Flames is incredibly terrifying. Now that he has gained three Strange Flames at once, his combat strength will naturally far exceed his current realm.
Now that he had already broken through, Xiao Feng had no intention of staying any longer and immediately got up to leave.
Because he was already at the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm, and had stayed at that realm for quite some time, his foundation was already incredibly solid. Therefore, his breakthrough of so many realms at once this time would not have any impact. It was just a matter of rebuilding his foundation. In fact, his foundation would become even more stable as a result of this rebuilding.
As soon as Xiao Feng stepped out of the secret chamber, he saw Xiao Hu and the others waiting in front of him. Seeing that they were all gathered here, Xiao Feng was a little puzzled and wondered what had happened. He quickly asked them, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Qi, why are you all here?"
Looking at Xiao Feng in front of them, Xiao Hu and the others were also extremely excited. However, they did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Xiao Feng and could only wait for Xiao Feng to speak first.
"Reporting to the clan chief, we have come because of the strange phenomenon we witnessed earlier."
Hearing Xiao Hu's answer, Xiao Feng was even more confused. How could he not understand what Xiao Hu was talking about?
"Strange phenomenon?"
"Yes, an unusual phenomenon. Could it be that the clan leader is unaware of it?" As if sensing the doubt in Xiao Feng's words, Xiao Hu changed the subject and said.
"Stop talking nonsense. I was in seclusion before, so I naturally don't know what happened. Tell me in detail." Xiao Feng reprimanded him.
Xiao Hu and the others were already very familiar with Xiao Feng's personality, so they knew that Xiao Feng wasn't really scolding Xiao Hu, and Xiao Hu naturally still had the same smiling expression as before.
"Yes, Chieftain!"
"Reporting to the clan leader, about ten days ago, a celestial phenomenon appeared above your secluded chamber. This phenomenon was so large that all the clan members in the entire Xiao clan's small world could see it, which is why we came here to wait for the clan leader."
Hearing Xiao Hu's words, Xiao Feng lowered his head and fell into deep thought. "Ten days ago? Wasn't that when my strength recovered to the early stage of Seven-Star Dou Sheng and my 'Burning Technique' evolved to the Heavenly Rank?"
He had felt that he had forgotten something, but it didn't seem to be important, so he didn't pay much attention to it and put it out of his mind. Eager to restore his strength, he continued to enter seclusion.
Now, after hearing Xiao Hu's words and reflecting on them, he instantly understood.
Upon recalling what he had done ten days prior, he instantly understood that this extraordinary phenomenon was caused by the evolution of the "Burning Technique" to the low-level Heaven Rank. Originally, the "Burning Technique" was a low-level Yellow Rank cultivation technique, which had gradually evolved to its current level. This was why it was mistakenly believed that he had created a Heaven Rank cultivation technique.
Having figured out the whole story, Xiao Feng was both amused and exasperated. He had to keep the matter of the "Burning Technique" a secret, even though these people in front of him were his confidants. Therefore, he had no choice but to find another excuse.
"That's right, it's because my strength has broken through again this time, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu and the others smiled even more broadly. With Xiao Feng's strength breaking through once again, the Xiao Clan's confidence grew stronger, and the day when they would reappear in the world and restore the Xiao Clan's glory was not far off!
After a conversation, Xiao Feng gained a clear understanding of the current situation of the Xiao clan, and Xiao Hu and the others, having achieved their desired results, naturally left quickly.
