Chapter 68: Great Sun Burning Heaven Decision

Two scrolls.

One is a low-level Heaven-tier fire attribute technique! The other is a quasi-Heaven-tier fire sun attribute technique, but it comes with a complementary quasi-Heaven-tier Dou Technique!

How should he choose?

Wei Yang frowned, unable to make up his mind. For Wei Yang, undoubtedly, the quasi-Heaven-tier fire sun attribute technique was the most suitable for him.

However, there is a vast gap between the quasi-Heaven-tier and the true Heaven-tier. The difference is akin to that between a semi-saint and a Dou Saint!

Damn old guy, turns out he's rich beyond measure, always pretended otherwise before. Now he's suddenly presenting two options like these, isn't this a test for the cadre?

Who can withstand such a test?

Wei Yang sighed inwardly, trembling...

The most annoying thing is making choices.

...

After a moment.

Yao Lao saw Wei Yang's conflicted expression and immediately chuckled. "Hehe, Wei boy, have you made your choice?"

Wei Yang smiled wryly, "Senior, you really know how to present a dilemma."

Yao Lao stroked his beard, a hint of pride flashing across his face. "This isn't really a dilemma. I'm giving you a choice between two techniques, what more can you ask for?"

Yao Lao said, "There is indeed a significant gap between Heaven-tier and quasi-Heaven-tier, but since the latter has the word 'quasi,' the gap isn't entirely insurmountable."

Wei Yang nodded.

Makes sense, continue.

Yao Lao continued, "Though there might be some compatibility issues, you're primarily fire attribute with only a small portion being sun attribute. The low-level Heaven-tier technique is the most suitable for you."

"But, this quasi-Heaven-tier technique is indeed the most compatible with you. Moreover, it comes with a complementary quasi-Heaven-tier Dou Technique. When you reach mid-to-high-level Dou Zun, you should be able to unleash its true power!"

"The combination of a technique and a complementary Dou Technique—you already have a high-grade Xuan-level set, so I needn't say more about its effectiveness. It could barely match the power of a low-level Heaven-tier Dou Technique in the future."

"However, you're only a Dou Wang now, far from mid-to-high-level Dou Zun... hehe, so if you choose this quasi-Heaven-tier, it wouldn't be a loss. You might even gain a little. But the low-level Heaven-tier fire attribute technique is more advantageous for you at the moment as it can significantly increase your cultivation speed. Sigh~ Indeed, it's a difficult choice!"

Wei Yang looked at Yao Lao expressionlessly.

You old rascal, deceiving me too much!

Ah~! Flip the table~

You've been rambling for so long, saying nothing but nonsense.

Don't I already know this? Need you to remind me?

Damn! Now it's even harder to choose.

The balance in Wei Yang's heart had begun to tilt, but Yao Lao's words made it swing back to indecision.

Time slowly passed.

Yao Lao didn't rush him, instead admiring the green lotus in Wei Yang's palm, more specifically, savoring the green flame at its heart.

Beautiful! Truly a gift from heaven and earth!

It exudes a natural spirituality.

...

Finally, Wei Yang gritted his teeth and made a decision.

He pointed with difficulty at the red-gold scroll and said, "Senior, I'll choose this one."

Yao Lao noticed this, withdrew his gaze from the Green Lotus Core Flame, glanced at Wei Yang's final choice, and with a mix of surprise and no surprise, said with a smile, "Wei boy, are you sure? Heaven-tier is still Heaven-tier, and quasi is just quasi."

Wei Yang nodded with determination, still pointing at that quasi-Heaven-tier red-gold scroll, "No need for more words, Senior, it's decided."

"Since you made your choice, I won't say more." Yao Lao shook his head, "Hope you don't regret it later."

With these words, he stored the dark red scroll and, with a wave, floated the red-gold scroll to Wei Yang.

Seeing this, Wei Yang gently pushed and let the Green Lotus Seat float slowly toward Yao Lao.

Yao Lao's eyes brightened. He reached out with transparent palms, gently holding the green lotus.

Wei Yang exhaled lightly, accepting the red-gold scroll.

Indeed, he faced difficulty inwardly, ultimately suppressing the allure of the Heaven-tier technique with great willpower and choosing this quasi-Heaven-tier technique.

Perhaps it was intuition guiding him during this difficult decision, leading him to follow a faint instinct deep within and make this choice.

Wei Yang slowly unfurled the scroll and infiltrated it with his soul power.

Instantly, a vast amount of information surged into his mind.

"Great Sun Burning Heaven Volume, a quasi-Heaven-tier technique, fire sun attribute... if a suitable fire sun flame is found, the technique's power would not fall short of a true Heaven-tier technique... for instance, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame List, no need for the complete Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, just one sub-flame with adequate power would suffice..."

Reading through the extensive information in his mind, Wei Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling impressed.

No wonder it's a quasi-Heaven-tier technique and Dou Technique; its complexity and power surpass the Wild Lion Blazing Flame Technique and Wild Lion Roar by countless times.

The predecessor who created this technique and Dou Technique must be a prodigious talent.

But.

Fire sun flame... there aren't many heavenly flames that meet this criterion.

Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame?

What am I thinking?

That's the ancient clan's legacy flame!

The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, ranked fourth on the Heavenly Flame List, may not be as mysterious as the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, but it was famed in ancient times.

Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, known as the fearsome flame capable of incinerating even Dou Qi.

The first owner of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame was said to have incinerated a space created by a peak Dou Sheng expert into nothingness with this flame.

Even a sub-flame, given the ancient clan's dominance, isn't something outsiders can covet.

With the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame's power, even a random sub-flame would be a terrifyingly potent flame.

Gu Xuner has a sub-flame, sealed within her body.

It's a method used by the ancient clan to protect their lady.

Once fully unsealed, its power rivals that of a low-level Dou Sheng.

Moreover, extracting a sub-flame would damage the flame's origin, taking a long time to recover.

Therefore, the predecessor who created the Great Sun Burning Heaven Volume had almost no chance of acquiring a sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.

Unless you're a significant leader within the ancient clan or a descendant with divine-grade bloodline, or you possess the power to not fear the ancient clan, it's impossible.

Otherwise, even if you managed to acquire a sub-flame of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame through some means, you couldn't keep it and would face the ancient clan's pursuit.

...

Wei Yang turned his hand to store the red-gold scroll, exhaling lightly, his eyes flickering slightly.

At this moment, Yao Lao had also reapplied several layers of his seal on the Green Lotus Seat and carefully stored it away.

"Hehe, Wei boy, how do you feel about the technique?" Yao Lao asked with a smile.

Actually, when he first presented the two scrolls, he was confident that Wei Yang would most likely choose the Great Sun Burning Heaven Volume.

Didn't Yao Lao know the hidden pitfalls of the Great Sun Burning Heaven Volume?

Of course, he knew.

So, unless Wei Yang was asking for death, the Great Sun Burning Heaven Volume would forever remain a quasi-Heaven-tier technique and Dou Technique.

Even if Wei Yang courted death, he had almost no chance of success.

That's the ancient clan, who dares to have ideas about it?

So unless Wei Yang, someday, successfully creates a true fire sun attribute Heaven-tier technique based on the Great Sun Burning Heaven Volume.

But that would perhaps be a matter for after Wei Yang reaches mid-level Dou Sheng.

By then, he might as well create or find a more suitable technique rather than stubbornly sticking to this mediocre one.

So, Yao Lao had subtly dug a small pit for Wei Yang.

Once Wei Yang cultivates this technique.

Unless he has a fortuitous encounter in the future to obtain a true low-level Heaven-tier fire sun attribute technique.

Otherwise, at least before reaching Dou Sheng, Wei Yang's technique will be this quasi-Heaven-tier one.

Quasi-Heaven-tier, not to say it's bad.

But once you reach a certain level, it becomes a hindrance, like chicken ribs.

Tasteless to eat, yet a pity to discard.

This was Yao Lao's small taste of mischief, a tiny revenge for Wei Yang taking advantage of him.

An old rascal, still alive.

The malice of society, young folks can't comprehend it; Wei Yang ultimately got tempted by that complementary quasi-Heaven-tier Dou Technique.

In reality, it was a trap.

Yao Lao chuckled inwardly.

This pitfall, Wei Yang likely wouldn't discover now.

Perhaps only when Wei Yang reaches mid-to-high-level Dou Zun would he realize it.

The true gap between Heaven-tier and quasi-Heaven-tier!

But by the time Wei Yang discovers this, he probably won't have the nerve to trouble Yao Chen.

After all, it was Wei Yang's own choice, who can he blame?
