Seven Star Dou Shi, Both Righteous and Evil
"Use the pill furnaces and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside."
Su Yu’s voice suddenly rang out, and a ring fell from the sky.
Yao Lao caught the ring and swept it with his spiritual sense. Surprised, he said, "The Saint Radiance Cauldron! Wasn’t this in the Yao Clan? How did it end up here…?"
"Don’t worry. This is the second Saint Radiance Cauldron, not the one from your Yao Clan. As for where it came from, ask less. The ring contains all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Dou Qi Continent. Teach Yi Yi properly," Su Yu said.
Yao Lao nodded. "Rest assured, Senior."
After that, Su Yu’s voice vanished again. Looking at the items inside the ring, Yao Lao took out the Saint Radiance Cauldron. As for the pill furnaces from the Xiao Family, he had people remove them all. They were useless here and only took up space.
One year later
In a few days, it would be the Xiao Family’s coming-of-age ceremony. That day, a black-robed youth arrived in Wutan City. He wore a large hat, and a chilling aura surrounded him.
This youth was Xiao Yan. Only after arriving at the Xiao Family did he remove his hat. Several members of the Xiao Family beside him froze when they saw him, then said disdainfully, "Isn’t this Xiao Yan? You actually have the nerve to come back."
Xiao Yan gave the man a cold glance. "I’m a member of the Xiao Family and the son of the Xiao Family head. Why can’t I come back?"
With that, Xiao Yan left directly, looking as though he could not be bothered to speak with them. The Xiao Family members curled their lips. "Who’s that sour face for? If your father weren’t the family head, I’d have beaten you to death long ago."
"Enough, enough. Stop talking. He must be back for the coming-of-age ceremony. Someone will deal with him then."
"That’s true. Xiao Ning has always disliked Xiao Yan. He’ll definitely cause trouble for him this time."
Alchemy room
Su Yiyi was very interested in alchemy, so she had spent the past year studying it. She was now a third-tier alchemist.
Yao Lao looked at Su Yiyi and said, "Yi Yi, the Xiao Family’s coming-of-age ceremony is in a few days. Xiao Zhan said you don’t have to attend. What do you think? Do you want to go?"
Su Yiyi thought for a moment. "Not really. I’m already a Four Star Dou Ling. There’s no point in going."
Hearing Su Yiyi mention her cultivation, Yao Lao could only laugh bitterly. He had been with Su Yiyi the whole time, so he naturally knew her situation. Over the past year, she had merely cultivated casually whenever she had nothing to do, yet she had gone from an Eight Star Dou Shi to a Four Star Dou Ling in one year. Yao Lao did not dare imagine what it would look like if Su Yiyi truly cultivated diligently.
"That girl Xun Er will be going. Don’t you want to see her?" Yao Lao asked with a smile.
Su Yiyi’s eyes lit up. "Then I’ll go take a look, but I won’t participate."
Yao Lao nodded slightly. In truth, Su Yu was the one who wanted Su Yiyi to go out more. Over the past year, she had stayed in the alchemy room so constantly that she was practically becoming a shut-in. Even Su Yu was getting anxious watching her.
A few days later
The entire Xiao Family was lively that day. Early in the morning, the Martial Arts Arena was already packed with people. Su Yiyi walked toward the arena while holding Gu Xun’er’s arm, and everyone immediately made way for them.
Su Yiyi and Gu Xun’er were the two great beauties of Wutan City. Countless men liked them, and there was not a single member of the Xiao Family’s younger generation who did not. Ninety percent of the girls envied them greatly. Not only were the two beautiful, their talents were also absurdly extraordinary.
Within the crowd, Xiao Yan stared coldly at Gu Xun’er and Su Yiyi. As far as he was concerned, if not for those two, Yao Lao would not have attacked him, none of what followed would have happened, and he would have become an incredibly formidable genius.
Su Yiyi and Gu Xun’er immediately sensed someone staring at them. Plenty of people looked at them, but this time felt different. It made them feel somewhat strange, so the two glanced in Xiao Yan’s direction.
The two rarely interacted with the Xiao Family, but they had heard of Xiao Yan. At first, he had been a genius, then he had inexplicably been electrocuted until he lost control of his bowels and bladder. That was when they first heard of Xiao Yan. Afterward, all the tragedies that befell him truly made them feel somewhat sympathetic toward him.
If they knew the full course of events, they probably would not have felt any sympathy.
Seeing their gazes sweep over, Xiao Yan turned and walked elsewhere.
The test soon began. Several names were called one after another, and before long, it was Gu Xun’er’s turn.
Gu Xun’er stepped before the Black Stone Tablet and placed one hand on it. A beam of light shot upward. Soon, the light faded, and nine words appeared on the Black Stone Tablet.
Dou Shi: Seven Stars
In the original story, Gu Xun’er should only have been a one-star Dou Zhe at this time. However, since childhood, Gu Xun’er had slept, eaten, and cultivated together with Su Yiyi. Though her cultivation speed could not compare with Su Yiyi’s, on the Dou Qi Continent, such a rate of cultivation was already something rarely seen in a thousand years.
"Holy shit!"
Those words instantly rang out below. Gu Xun’er had never attended a coming-of-age ceremony before, so no one knew her true cultivation. Everyone was now shocked. At fifteen, she had already reached Seven Star Dou Shi—her future was limitless.
Gu Xun’er did not care much. She knew that her rapid cultivation was all because of Yi Yi. She felt that if Yi Yi participated as well, the entire Jia Ma Empire would probably be thrown into turmoil. A fifteen-year-old Dou Ling was enough to shake the Jia Ma Empire.
Not long after Gu Xun’er finished, it was Xiao Yan’s turn. Everyone’s eyes turned toward him as Xiao Yan slowly walked before the Black Stone Tablet.
Xiao Yan placed one hand on the Black Stone Tablet, and soon four words appeared upon it as well.
Dou Shi: Seven Stars.
Everyone was stunned. Su Yiyi and Gu Xun’er were also somewhat curious, while Su Yu frowned. After making a calculation with his fingers, he understood what had happened.
"Truly worthy of being the Lord of the Plane. His life was destined to be extraordinary," Su Yu sighed.
A year ago, Xiao Yan had left Wutan City. By a twist of fate, he had arrived at the place where an expert from the Great Thousand World had fallen on the Dou Qi Continent. That expert had left behind two inheritances. One was a path brimming with righteous energy. Its cultivation speed was not fast, but fighting above one’s level was easy.
The other was a path brimming with evil energy. Cultivating it was as easy as drinking water, but it was easy to lose oneself on that path. At the time, Xiao Yan could not care about any of that and directly chose this path.
In truth, if Xiao Yan wanted to truly reach the pinnacle of this world, he should have taken a risk and walked both paths at once. The fallen expert had been an extremely famous powerhouse in the Great Thousand World because he cultivated two techniques simultaneously. One was filled with vast righteous energy, while the other was filled with the evil energy of the demonic path. He cultivated these two utterly different techniques at the same time, and his strength ranked among the top ten in the Great Thousand World.
