788. Awakening and Return
"Mother!" Xiao Qingqing suddenly raised her small, lotus-root-like arm, stretched out her chubby fingers, and pointed precisely to the spot where the old master was sitting cross-legged, saying in her childish voice, "Grandmaster is about to wake up!"
Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at her daughter with extreme surprise. She did indeed sense an even stronger soul fluctuation emanating from the core of the energy vortex in the direction of the Medicine Elder, a sign that his consciousness was about to fully recover. However, all of this was based on the soul power of her spiritual realm; from the outside, there was nothing unusual about the Medicine Elder's side.
His three-year-old daughter had immediately discerned that it was Yao Lao who was about to awaken, not Xiao Yan. Such judgment was remarkable; even the most gifted students trained by the Starfall Pavilion wouldn't possess such accuracy, let alone a child.
Looking at the smiling Xiao Qingqing, a complex emotion swept through Little Fairy Doctor's heart. As a mother, she had always carefully protected her daughter's childhood, her greatest wish being that Xiao Qingqing could grow up far from strife, carefree, and enjoy the purest joy like any ordinary child. But now it seemed that even without any intervention, her daughter's almost monstrous soul talent was about to be revealed.
Little Fairy Doctor temporarily suppressed these chaotic thoughts, picked up Xiao Qingqing, and lifted her small body high: "Qingqing is right, Master is coming soon, and then there will be one more person who likes Qingqing."
Xiao Qingqing nodded her little head, seemingly understanding, but her attention was quickly drawn to the enormous aura surrounding Yao Lao. Centered on Yao Lao, an invisible force pulled in vast amounts of battle qi, forming a massive vortex. At the center of the vortex, the long-dormant, deep white flames now shone brightly!
Looking at the powerful vortex of battle qi surrounding Yao Lao, Xiao Qingqing's big, watery eyes widened, and she suddenly asked Little Fairy Doctor, "Mother, Grandmaster is so amazing! Is Father more amazing or Grandmaster more amazing?"
Hearing her daughter's adorable question, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile, her gaze falling gently on Xiao Yan, who was still cultivating. Even in the midst of deep cultivation, the unwavering resolve between his brows remained unchanged. Countless scenes of life-and-death struggles from the past instantly filled her heart.
"Of course, Grandmaster is extremely powerful... but in Mother's heart, your Father will always be the most powerful!"
Xiao Qingqing tilted her head, her long eyelashes fluttering, somewhat puzzled by her mother's answer. She looked back at the gentle yet firm smile on her mother's face, and suddenly seemed to understand something even more interesting. Her little face instantly lit up with a radiant smile; she waved her little hands and cheered loudly, "Mommy is the best!"
Just as the mother and daughter were talking, the energy changes in the core area had reached their peak.
Where Yao Lao was, the massive vortex of battle qi suddenly collapsed inward, as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and finally transformed into a beam of light condensed to the extreme, which poured into his seated body.
Boom!
The strength of Yao Lao's aura soared, breaking through the invisible barrier that had troubled countless powerful individuals and steadily stepping into the realm of a half-saint!
However, this is just the beginning!
That aura then surged at an astonishing speed, rushing towards the Dou Sheng realm.
Now, almost everyone in the Starfall Pavilion sensed the commotion caused by the imminent completion of Yao Lao's resurrection and gathered here, surrounding the place.
"What a terrifying aura! It's stronger than the Pavilion Master's!"
"Not only that, he's probably even stronger than Senior Mu of the Tianluan Clan."
"The old pavilion master is truly awe-inspiring! Our Starfall Pavilion's ranking in Central State is about to rise even higher."
"Look! The energy is still increasing!"
As more and more disciples of the Starfall Pavilion came to watch, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yao Lao's aura successfully broke through from the Half-Saint realm to the One-Star Dou Sheng realm.
The overwhelming pressure spread out like a tsunami, and the disciples who were slightly weaker felt as if they could not breathe, and quickly retreated.
Even Mu Yaoyin, who was guarding this place, felt the pressure at this moment. The fluctuations of Dou Qi after reaching the first star Dou Sheng were not so easy to control. Most importantly, Xiao Yan's cultivation was not yet finished, and he could not be disturbed at this time.
At this critical moment, Shennong appeared instantly. He reached out and released a beam of emerald light, which instantly created an invisible Dou Qi barrier between Xiao Yan and Yao Lao that was as thin as a cicada's wing yet incredibly strong.
No matter how turbulent Yao Lao's fighting spirit was, Xiao Yan's clothes remained unmoved.
Just as Shennong had finished everything and was about to sense the aura of the resurrected Yao Lao, Xiao Yan's presence once again caught his attention.
call out--
A beam of pure Dou Qi, formed from Dou Qi itself, shot into the sky without warning from where Xiao Yan was sitting. Xiao Yan's absorption of external Dou Qi also completely stopped. Unlike Yao Lao's gradual and powerful attack, Xiao Yan released the energy that he had absorbed and compressed to its limit within his body in the wildest way.
Supported by this newfound power, Xiao Yan's body floated steadily into the air, leaving the ground. His aura, previously only at the peak of the Dou Zun realm, vanished completely, replaced by the fact that Xiao Yan's strength had officially entered the Half-Saint realm. His robes fluttered without wind, and his body was enveloped in the still-unreserved radiance of Dou Qi, as if draped in flowing starlight.
"Father is awake too!" Xiao Qingqing cheered again.
Clearly, this little girl once again sensed Xiao Yan's change without needing anyone else's explanation, relying solely on her innate keenness.
"The young master has also successfully advanced?"
"So powerful! The young master's aura is in no way inferior!"
"Young Master is mighty!"
In mid-air, Yao Lao, who was sitting in the center of the Dou Qi storm, and Xiao Yan, whose body was surrounded by flowing light, opened their eyes at almost the same time!
Two pairs of eyes, one aged, one young; one deep as an abyss, the other sharp as a blade. At this moment, they met tightly in mid-air.
At this moment, Yao Lao, the former pavilion master who once represented the glory of the Starfall Pavilion, and Xiao Yan, the young pavilion master who has risen strongly in recent years and represents the future of the Starfall Pavilion, coincidentally awaken at the same time.
Without any need for further intervention, the disciples and elders of the Starfall Pavilion spontaneously cheered. With a Pavilion Master at the Dou Sheng level and a Young Pavilion Master at the Half-Saint level, the Starfall Pavilion's strength would surge once again. No words could describe the excitement in the hearts of everyone in the Starfall Pavilion at that moment.
"Welcome home, teacher!"
