Chapter 513: Quick Mastery of the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian
Watching Xiao Ze immerse himself in understanding the training methods of the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, Xiao Xuan let out a slow breath.
"This kid keeps surprising me," Xiao Xuan said with a hint of amazement, almost startled by the constant surprises.
Xun'er also shook her head slightly. "This is the first time I've heard of such an ability from Brother Xiao Ze. It feels like he has endless secrets, no matter how many he reveals."
"That's not a bad thing. Every cultivator has their own secrets. The more hidden techniques you have, the safer you are since your opponents can't gauge your full strength," Xiao Xuan responded with a smile. "With the prerequisites for the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian met, Xiao Ze still has nearly two years left. That should be enough time for him to master the clan mark."
"With Brother Xiao Ze's speed in mastering techniques, it shouldn't take long for him to cultivate the clan mark," Xun'er recalled how quickly Xiao Ze learned new skills.
"Really? Then I'm quite eager to see it. The Tian Huo San Xuan Bian isn't easy to master. Even among the Xiao clan back then, only a few managed to master it," Xiao Xuan said, eager to see Xiao Ze's progress. When Xiao Xuan created the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, many in the clan found it challenging due to the requirement of three unique flames.
Xiao Xuan could suppress three different strange flames due to his immense strength, but not everyone was Xiao Xuan. Even using three beast fires was challenging, requiring great control over the flames. Thus, while Xiao Xuan succeeded in creating the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, few could fully master it, with most preferring the ancient methods to cultivate their clan mark.
"At that time, aside from me, the creator, the fastest someone in the Xiao clan could master the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian was in a few months," Xiao Xuan reminisced.
Half a day later, Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes. His hands moved swiftly, forming seals, but without invoking any energy. After repeating this several dozen times, he exhaled deeply, having fully internalized the seals of the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian.
Seeing Xiao Ze form seals with such speed on his first attempt, Xiao Xuan was initially stunned. Watching Xiao Ze repeat the seals dozens of times until he reached mastery, Xiao Xuan fell silent.
Based on this progress, mastering the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian might not take months, but days.
"Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, First Transformation!" Xiao Ze's hands formed seals swiftly, and this time, fiery energy erupted around him. His aura surged as flames enveloped him, raising his power.
Boom! Violent energy burst from Xiao Ze, disrupting the balance and causing a turbulent energy storm. Xiao Xuan quickly raised a hand to suppress the chaotic energy and looked at Xiao Ze with concern. Seeing Xiao Ze unscathed, he sighed in relief and advised, "Xiao Ze, don't rush. You have plenty of time. Make sure you're fully familiar before using the strange flames. The stronger the flames, the more violent the energy, which can harm you."
Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes, showing a clear understanding. "I understand, Ancestor. The path of cultivation requires patience. Rushing can lead to harm. But I decided to attempt it because I felt ready. From this attempt, I gained some insights."
Xiao Xuan scrutinized Xiao Ze, seeing that he was confident, and nodded slightly. "If you're sure, then go ahead. Feel free to use my tomb as you wish."
With Xiao Xuan's approval, Xiao Ze calmly reflected on his earlier attempt. Though he had grasped the technique's principles, actual execution posed challenges. After a few tries, he began to understand better.
"Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, First Transformation!" Xiao Ze's hands moved swiftly again, and violent fiery energy surged around him, rapidly elevating his aura to the peak of the two-star Dou Saint level.
Xiao Ze opened his eyes, flames flickering within them, feeling the explosive power in his movements. "As expected of the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian. Even at the Dou Saint stage, it provides such a boost."
Xiao Ze clenched his fist, feeling the violent power coursing through him, satisfied with the result. Xiao Xuan couldn't help but explain, "It's not just the technique but the power of your strange flames. At the Dou Saint stage, the differences are vast. Activating the clan mark with bloodline power would only raise you to the early three-star Dou Saint level. But using just the first transformation of the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, you've reached the peak of the two-star Dou Saint. That's thanks to your flames."
Xiao Ze nodded, acknowledging the power of the Origin Emperor Flame. After mastering the first transformation, he quickly moved on to the second and third transformations, despite a few failures along the way.
"Tian Huo San Xuan Bian! First, Second, and Third Transformations!" Xiao Ze's aura surged violently, escalating from the late two-star Dou Saint to the early three-star Dou Saint. The intense fiery power raised the temperature in the surrounding void severalfold.
"The power of your flames is remarkable. Just using the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian matches the boost from activating the clan mark," Xiao Xuan remarked, watching Xiao Ze's rapid progress. What amazed him even more was that Xiao Ze took less than a day to master the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, far surpassing the Xiao clan's ancient geniuses.
"Now that you've mastered the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, the next step is to use its intense heat to guide the bloodline power to your brow and draw the clan mark," Xiao Xuan said, his tone serious. This step was crucial.
Drawing the clan mark required a vast amount of Dou Qi and precise control, the most challenging part of the Xiao clan's mark cultivation. Even with other methods, the difficulty remained high.
The Xiao clan didn't need others to draw their clan marks, but mastering it themselves was far more challenging. High-level clan marks had many intricate strokes, consuming massive amounts of Dou Qi and demanding extreme control. High-level marks in the Gu clan required Dou Saint-level experts to draw them, illustrating the difficulty for the Xiao clan to cultivate their marks.
