**
In front of the stone platform.
Wei Yang sat cross-legged, and with a wave of his hand, said, "Let's begin."
Whoosh, whoosh~
The green flame in his palm surged like a tide, sweeping out and enveloping the jade-white skeleton. It looked like a pool of emerald liquid, bathing the bones within.
That flame, filled with vitality, swirled gently—while tempering the bones, it also seemed to inject them with an endless surge of life force.
Sitting opposite, Yao Lao gradually steadied his state of mind. A moment later, he drew in a deep breath and tightly gripped the jade bottle containing the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.
The forging of the body officially began.
As for the process itself, Yao Lao was naturally extremely familiar with it, so there was no need for Wei Yang to remind him of anything. Once it began, a thought stirred in Yao Lao's heart. A wisp of soul energy flew out from his faintly transparent body, hovering beside Wei Yang.
Wei Yang's hand seals shifted rapidly, controlling the temperature of the flame.
When he judged it was ready, he reached out, grabbed that wisp of soul hovering nearby, and pressed his palm down onto the jade-white skeleton on the stone platform, forcibly driving the soul into the bones.
As the wisp of soul smoothly merged into the skeleton, a faint trace of vitality seemed to appear within the once-lifeless bones.
"Yao Lao, I'll refine the skeleton first. Once it's ready, you can enter and complete the fusion," Wei Yang said softly.
"Alright." Yao Lao nodded and stroked his beard. "Brat Wei, when the time comes, don't hold back. Do whatever needs to be done—this old man can handle it."
"Understood." Wei Yang gestured, and a jade bottle swiftly flew into his palm.
Inside the bottle, a liquid of red and cyan hues flowed slowly. He flicked his thumb, popping open the lid. A surge of terrifying energy fluctuations burst out, causing the surrounding space to tremble faintly.
Wei Yang's expression grew solemn. This time, the materials he had prepared for Yao Lao's body were of the highest quality. As a result, the difficulty of refinement was far greater than when he had forged a body for Ah Da.
Off to the side, Xiao Yan watched intently, his eyes unblinking.
"Go!"
Wei Yang gave a low shout, and with a flick of his finger, all the red and cyan liquid shot out from the bottle.
It splashed over the jade-white skeleton, immediately erupting with wisps of white smoke and a constant sizzling sound.
Sizzle~
As the red-cyan liquid touched the bones, its color rapidly spread, seeping through until it covered the entire skeleton. In the blink of an eye, the bones transformed from pure white to a dazzling mix of red and cyan, and from within them came a rich, surging energy fluctuation.
Seeing this, Wei Yang raised his hand. The red-cyan skeleton lifted from the stone platform, floating midair.
With a thought, the green flame coiled upward, engulfing the entire skeleton. The Heaven Demon Phoenix blood essence was exceedingly domineering and not entirely compatible with the skeleton, making fusion difficult.
Moreover, the bones of a Dou Sheng were incredibly sturdy. Therefore, Wei Yang had to use the Heavenly Flame patiently, continuously tempering and burning, so the blood essence could seep into every part of the skeleton.
Only then could the bones truly absorb the blood essence, becoming the seed that would give birth to flesh and blood. After all, even the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill couldn't create flesh from nothing.
The Dou Sheng Skeleton itself was utterly lifeless.
As the green flame burned fiercely, a faint red-cyan glow began to form around the skeleton. Yet even so, the searing heat gradually seeped through, causing tiny bubbles to appear along the surface of the bones.
Occasionally, as the bubbles burst with a crackling sound, dense energy fluctuations spread out slowly through the room.
Time flowed by.
The atmosphere in the chamber was utterly silent. Only the faint sound of liquid coursing within the flames echoed through the air.
This process of tempering and burning was extremely time-consuming, the flame's intensity needing to remain at a precise balance—not too strong, not too weak.
Thus, nearly seven full days passed before Wei Yang's half-closed eyes slowly opened. His gaze fell upon the skeleton—its red-cyan glow had dimmed significantly, no longer as vibrant as before.
Wei Yang nodded slightly. The Heaven Demon Phoenix blood essence had, through the tempering of the green flame, gradually seeped deep into the bones. The blood essence had merged entirely, dyeing every inch of the skeleton, blending as one.
Exhaling softly, he turned his gaze toward Yao Lao. Yao Lao also opened his eyes and nodded with a gentle smile.
At this point, Wei Yang's mastery over flame control had improved tremendously compared to years ago. In fact, even when compared to Yao Lao himself, there was hardly any difference left.
This Dou Sheng Skeleton had been handled to perfection.
That left Yao Lao deeply gratified—he couldn't help but feel a sense of the younger generation surpassing the old. He still vividly remembered that day long ago, in the back mountain of the Xiao Family, when he first met Wei Yang.
In the blink of an eye, the once naive yet daring youth had grown into someone this accomplished. Seeing the comforted look on Yao Lao's face, Wei Yang also smiled slightly. His gaze turned back to the skeleton floating before him.
After such a long period of tempering, the once jade-white bones had completely transformed, now radiating a dim red-cyan hue.
Wei Yang's eyes narrowed. "Yao Lao, let's begin."
"Hmm." Yao Lao nodded.
With his experienced eyesight, he knew perfectly well—this was the best possible moment. Without hesitation, he poured the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill out of the jade bottle and swallowed it whole.
His figure then flickered, turning into a streak of light that shot straight into the skeleton suspended midair.
Buzz~
The instant Yao Lao's soul merged into the skeleton, it shuddered violently. Within the hollow eye sockets, faint light began to condense. At that same moment, a terrifying and mysterious energy started to surge from deep within the bones.
Then, something miraculous occurred—the sight of white bones giving birth to flesh began to unfold before their eyes. Such a divine phenomenon was, naturally, the miraculous effect of the Bone Growing Blood Fusing Pill.
"Yao Lao, hold on!"
Watching the flesh rapidly forming and writhing across the skeleton, Wei Yang shouted in a low voice.
At once, the green flame surrounding the skeleton roared to life, its temperature soaring higher and higher. Under such scorching heat, the freshly grown, tender flesh was instantly burned into ash.
Yet as soon as the ashes scattered, that mysterious, terrifying energy once again surged out from the skeleton's core—causing new flesh to grow at an even faster rate.
Soon, the process became so rapid that only the squirming of new flesh could be seen, completely obscuring the bones beneath. A blurred humanoid outline of blood and flesh gradually began to take shape.
It was a process of ceaseless destruction and unyielding rebirth. This cycle of annihilation and regeneration was continuously carried out between the transformation of the Black Flame and the Green Flame.
This burning and regeneration lasted for nearly an entire day. Finally, upon that mass of flesh, the layer of skin began to form—tempered and refined under the searing green flames.
When the process concluded, the skeleton upon the stone platform had completely transformed into a real, living human body. Flesh, skin, hair—all were present. And the face that emerged… was unmistakably that of Yao Lao.
"Master…" On the side, Xiao Yan's expression quivered slightly, his voice tinged with emotion.
This was the first time he had ever seen Yao Lao in a body of flesh and blood, no longer that faint, illusory form he once knew.
Wei Yang exhaled slowly, a smile curling on his lips.
Everything had gone perfectly.
Now, they only needed to wait quietly for Yao Lao to complete his final fusion with the new body. After that… the once-glorious Yao Zun Zhe, who had shaken the entire Dou Qi Continent, would finally achieve true rebirth through flame.
No—
Perhaps "Yao Zun Zhe" was now a title of the past. This time, reborn anew, he would be none other than Saint Yao!
Wei Yang's eyes shifted toward a jade jar placed at the side. Inside it was five hundred milky-white, gel-like drops of Dou Sheng Bone Marrow. The energy contained within each was utterly terrifying.
These would serve as Yao Lao's greatest foundation and assurance in stepping into the realm of Dou Sheng. Now, everything depended on whether Yao Lao could seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—to ride the wind and soar ever higher.
