Upon hearing this, Xun'er looked at Brother Xiao Yi with great reluctance.
Although Xun'er was extremely unwilling to leave, her father had come in person.
Xun'er knew that no matter what, she had to return to the Ancient World with her father today.
"Brother Xiao Yi..."
"Xun'er will always wait for you..."
Xiao Yi nodded: "Believe me, Xun'er..."
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuan regretted even more sending Xun'er to the Xiao Family back then.
Xiao Xuan, on the other hand, had a smile on his face: "Gu Yuan..."
"If Xiao Yi and Xun'er were to be together in the future, wouldn't you have to change your address as well...?"
Gu Yuan heard this and gave Xiao Xuan a rather helpless look.
"Don't talk about these baseless things..."
"Although I won't interfere with Xun'er's choice, everything must happen naturally..."
A smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's face: "I understand, I understand..."
Immediately, Gu Yuan's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice:
"Xiao Xuan, the Hun Clan seems to be restless recently..."
"They have once again set their sights on the ancient jade of the Ancient Eight Clans..."
"Although you have awakened now, the Hun Clan may not necessarily know that you are currently only a Soul body, so be careful..."
Upon hearing the words "Hun Clan," the smile on Xiao Xuan's face also disappeared:
"Hun Clan..."
Gu Yuan: "Just say if you have any needs, the Gu Clan will definitely help if it can..."
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared in the Void Realm behind him, and a spatial passage slowly emerged.
He led Xun'er slowly through the passage and left this place... Watching Xun'er leave, Xiao Yi felt reluctant, but he also understood that the most important thing to do now was to become stronger.
"Ancestor..."
Xiao Yi also noticed the unusual expression on Xiao Xuan's face at this time and spoke softly.
Xiao Xuan heard this, lowered his head slightly, and said softly to Xiao Yi:
"Little Fellow..."
"Now, whether it's for that girl Gu Yuan, or for yourself, for the Xiao Clan..."
"We have to hurry up..."
Xiao Yi naturally understood what Xiao Xuan was saying; he said nothing, just nodded heavily.
Xiao Yi knew that there wasn't much time left until Hun Tiandi emerged from his seclusion.
Xiao Yi had to revive Xiao Xuan before Hun Tiandi emerged, and he himself needed to grow stronger.
Otherwise, once Hun Tiandi emerged, along with the Nihility Devouring Flame, there would be no force on the entire continent that could stop these two.
Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Yi's serious expression and said nothing more, just nodded... Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the day for the Inner Academy to distribute special rewards to the top ten of the Strong Ranking.
Xiao Yi arrived early at the square outside the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.
At this moment, Liu Qing, Zi Yan, and others were already waiting there.
The moment Zi Yan saw Xiao Yi, she stomped over to him, looking annoyed again:
"Xiao Yi! Where have you been hiding all this time?!"
"Where are the Medicinal Pills you promised me?"
Xiao Yi smiled slightly.
This girl really remembered things clearly.
Immediately, a large jade bottle appeared in Xiao Yi's palm, which he handed to Zi Yan.
"Here..."
"Here are thirty Qi Gathering Powder, I'll give you the remaining seventy later!"
Zi Yan excitedly took the jade bottle and immediately grabbed a few Qi Gathering Powder to put into her mouth.
"Alright, alright..."
"Just owe it for now, but you must make it up later, okay...?"
Watching Zi Yan eat the Qi Gathering Powder like snacks, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh.
This was only possible for a super Demonic Beast like an Void Ancient Dragon; if it were a human, eating Medicinal Pills like this would probably lead to an explosion and death.
A moment later.
Su Qian slowly walked through the air and arrived in front of everyone.
"Everyone, congratulations on successfully entering the top ten of this Strong Ranking..."
"Today, we are specially distributing your exclusive rewards!"
Su Qian stroked his beard and spoke in a deep voice.
"The reward for the top ten of this Strong Ranking is the special opening of the eighth level of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda! You are allowed to Cultivate within the eighth level!"
Su Qian shouted loudly.
Immediately, a hint of excitement appeared on the faces of Liu Qing and the others.
After all, on normal days, the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda was only open up to the sixth level at most.
And as everyone knew, for every level higher in the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, the help for Cultivation would be greatly increased.
So, opening the eighth level was indeed a good reward for Liu Qing and the others.
And Su Qian, seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, suddenly spoke in a deep voice:
"Everyone, the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda has its pros and cons, I'm sure you are all very clear about that..."
"The eighth level is different from the sixth level where you usually Cultivate; although it provides great help for Cultivation, it is also very dangerous!"
"So, entering the eighth level, the speed of Cultivation you can achieve is entirely up to you. If you can't hold on, just crush the token in your hand, and I will immediately take you out..."
After Su Qian finished speaking, he lightly waved his sleeve, motioning for everyone to enter the eighth level of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda to receive their rewards.
However, as Xiao Yi passed by Su Qian, Su Qian suddenly spoke:
"Xiao Yi, wait a moment..."
Xiao Yi heard this and stopped: "Grand Elder..."
Su Qian waited until everyone else had entered the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda before slowly speaking:
"I heard that when you joined Jia Nan Academy, you were only a One-Star Dou Shi, you entered Great Dou Master in a month, and not long after entering the Inner Academy, you became a Four-star Dou Ling!"
"Such Cultivation talent is truly rare..."
"In this Strong Ranking Competition, you also displayed strength far exceeding a Four-star Dou Ling. You are truly a young hero..."
Listening to Su Qian's praise, Xiao Yi also felt a little embarrassed:
"Grand Elder, you flatter me..."
And Su Qian smiled slightly: "You are the first place in this Strong Ranking, your reward is a bit different from theirs..."
Xiao Yi heard this, looked up at Su Qian with some confusion.
And Su Qian stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:
"I have specially opened the tenth level of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda for you..."
"Do you have the courage to step into the tenth level?"
Xiao Yi did not hesitate at all and nodded in agreement.
And Su Qian, seeing this, also nodded with satisfaction: "The danger level of the tenth level is several times higher than the eighth level, but it can also greatly increase your Cultivation speed..."
"It's the same for you; if you can't hold on, just crush the token, and I will personally go to the tenth level to bring you out..."
Su Qian gave the usual instructions, then motioned for Xiao Yi to go to the tenth level... The tenth level of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda.
This place was already very close to the bottom of the tower, with fallen heart flame sub-fire permeating all around, scorching Xiao Yi every minute and every second.
"This place is quite close to the Fallen Heart Flame..."
"The energy here is also extremely rich..."
Xiao Xuan also slowly appeared at this moment, sensing the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame permeating the tenth level.
The next second, Xiao Xuan looked down towards the bottom of the tower.
At the same time, the Fallen Heart Flame also seemed to sense a powerful pressure.
It suddenly became agitated, constantly impacting the Seal.
The Fallen Heart Flame's frantic impact actually caused the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda to shake slightly.
Su Qian outside the tower looked at the swaying tower body, frowning slightly:
"It's not time yet, the Seal should be able to hold it..."
