Although Cao Ya's attitude was not explicitly stated, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran could clearly sense that he disapproved of Nalan Yanran's decision, or even of Nalan Yanran herself.
Nalan Yanran bit her lip, somewhat unconvinced.
Elder Cao Ya has never experienced an arranged marriage since childhood, so he has no experience with it and can naturally criticize it... If he had encountered such a thing when he was young, given Elder Cao Ya's temper, he would definitely have been even more violent than me...
Nalan Yanran pursed her lips, but she wouldn't say it directly. Although she was the young sect leader of Yunlan Sect, she hadn't fully matured yet, and she needed to respect the sect elders.
"Elder Cao Ya, what do you mean? Please speak frankly," Yun Yun said, merely frowning slightly without revealing much emotion. She was not a person with strong emotions to begin with, and was naturally indifferent.
“I’ve already made myself perfectly clear,” Cao Ya said, shaking his head.
“Methods and approaches…” Yun Yun pondered, as if she had gained some insight.
Nalan Yanran pouted, but still seemed unconvinced.
"By the way, Sect Master, I'm going out for a bit," Cao Ya said casually, then took a step and was already a hundred miles away from Yunlan Mountain.
For Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, it was as if Cao Ya had vanished in the blink of an eye. Nalan Yanran was alright, as her strength was not strong enough to detect anything, but Yun Yun, a Dou Huang level expert, was completely unaware of it, which truly shocked her.
This feeling... why is it so similar to the legendary Dou Zun's ability to traverse space? Could it be... that Elder Cao Ya has already broken through to Dou Zun?!
Yun Yun was astonished, but also felt it was impossible. After all, Cao Ya had always been a Dou Wang. Reaching the peak of Dou Wang or breaking through to Dou Huang was already quite unexpected. Dou Zun... how could that be?
It should be noted that above Dou Wang, and between Dou Zun, there are Dou Huang and Dou Zong.
"Master?" Nalan Yanran looked at her shocked master, quite puzzled.
Isn't Master's cultivation level higher than Elder Cao Ya's? How come now... Nalan Yanran, what are you thinking? How dare you question Master without cause...
Nalan Yanran reached out and patted her fair face to wake herself up.
"What are you doing?" Yun Yun asked in surprise.
The master and apprentice stared at each other for a while before leaving. Yun Yun gave Nalan Yanran some pointers along the way.
Unlike Nalan Yanran, Yun Yun is at least a Dou Huang level expert and has been in charge of the Yunlan Sect for a long time. She is well-liked and respected by the people, which is much better than this disciple.
On the other side, after leaving the Yunlan Sect, Cao Ya headed directly towards Wutan City.
Although his power was great, Cao Ya still needed to cultivate the battle qi system of this world, and he was quite curious about the extremely special "Burning Technique".
"I really don't know where Yao Chen got that kind of magical technique. I'm already a four-star level expert, comparable to a Dou Di, but even I couldn't create one. Even among all the previous Dou Di, there are almost no techniques that can compare to it, right?"
Cao Ya muttered to himself, guessing that the "Burning Technique" might have been passed down from the Great Thousand World.
Unlike the world of "Martial Universe", the world of "Battle Through the Heavens" has seen a considerable number of Dou Di (Battle Emperors) throughout history, not just two or three, and they were all visitors from outside the realm.
The most obvious examples are the ancient emperor Tuoshe and the ancestors of the eight ancient clans, who were definitely powerhouses at the Dou Di level.
The "Burning Technique" involves devouring different flames and continuously advancing to improve one's cultivation level. This is one path of cultivation, but Cao Ya doesn't necessarily have to follow it. Putting aside other matters, the Dou Di of the Yan Clan, one of the eight ancient clans, which is also of the fire attribute, did not follow this path.
He sought the "Burning Manual" out of curiosity and for reference.
Besides the "Burning Technique," there is also the strange fire in this world... It is different from the ancestral symbols of the "Martial Universe" world... Ancestral symbols are classified in various ways, and even if strange fires have different attributes, they are still flames in the final analysis...
If I remember correctly, the number one strange fire on the "Strange Fire Ranking"—the Emperor Flame—was formed from the condensation of all the fires in the world… The last person to become an emperor by devouring strange fires was the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe. However, he was originally a spirit of strange fire, and after devouring various strange fires, he cultivated for a thousand years before finally attaining the Dou Di realm and breaking through the barriers, thus being hailed by the world as the "Ancient Emperor Tuoshe"... The next Xiao Yan, on the other hand, relied on this "Burning Technique"...
Well, besides the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe and the "Burning Technique," I'd also like to see other paths to becoming a Dou Di... Only by learning from the strengths of many can one cultivate a hundred scriptures and forge my own path...
Although Cao Ya had never been to Wutan City, he could determine its location by scanning the surrounding conversations with his divine sense. With his current power equivalent to a Dou Di, he could travel freely not only within a country in the northwest of the Dou Qi Continent, but also anywhere in the entire Dou Qi Continent. Even the eight ancient clans and the three major magical beast groups could not stop him in the slightest.
He soon arrived in Wutan City and quickly discovered Xiao Yan's presence.
As the sun sets in the west, the golden crow descends, and the jade rabbit rises high in the sky.
At the top of a mountain cliff, Xiao Yan lay on the grass, looking at the bright moon rising in the sky, which shone on his face, but his expression was very bitter.
"Another step back..." Xiao Yan murmured, letting out a long sigh. In this afternoon's test, his Dou Qi cultivation had regressed to the third level of Dou Qi. In the past three years, he had worked hard to cultivate, but not only had he failed to improve his cultivation, but it had continued to decline, making him a laughing stock.
"In about a year or two, the fighting spirit within me will completely dissipate, and I'll become an ordinary person, right?" Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, then gave the middle finger to the night sky. Damn it, they sent me here just to be a useless person? Are they kidding me?
Forget about being a genius, even being an average fighter would be fine.
Moreover, he was truly a genius at the beginning, but everything changed drastically three years ago.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred not to have transmigrated at all," Xiao Yan sighed. He knew in his heart that he couldn't control the transmigration process.
"You don't want to time travel?" Suddenly, a voice rang out beside him.
"Who?" Xiao Yan was startled and quickly got up, his face pale. Transmigrating was his secret.
A figure in a green robe, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, was stroking his chin and staring at Xiao Yan.
This person had no aura and seemed like an ordinary person, but Xiao Yan knew that anyone who could appear beside him silently was definitely more powerful than him.
I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it...
Xiao Yan prayed silently.
"You've transmigrated here, and you haven't been very successful, have you?" The man in the green robe smiled knowingly; this man was none other than Cao Ya.
"Senior, you misheard me, ha, yes, you misheard me!" Xiao Yan said awkwardly, glancing at Cao Ya. Seeing his expression, he sighed, knowing that Cao Ya had overheard everything he had just said.
Ugh, this habit of talking to yourself is killing me... This person is a native, definitely doesn't know anything about time travel, um, absolutely doesn't understand what time travel means...
Xiao Yan tried to comfort himself, but Cao Ya's next words immediately shattered his ostrich-like mentality, making his eyes turn into beady eyes.
