Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

Chapter 15 Mid-stage of Dark Force
Time flies,
Another three months have passed.

Spring snow,

It was just dawn.

The eastern sky turned a pale white, the clouds were gray and fish-scale-like, slowly turning white. The fiery red sun had just risen above the mountains, and the morning glow dyed half the sky red, its rays shining brightly, driving the darkness between heaven and earth into the mountains and forests.

The vast forest stretches for thousands of miles, while a solitary peak rises a thousand feet high, shrouded in mist.

At the summit of the precipice, shrouded in clouds and mist,
The ground on the edge of the cliff is slippery and difficult to stand on. If a person stands on the edge, there is a risk of losing their footing and falling off the cliff at any time.

Xiao Yue practiced her skills in such an environment.

She stood with her feet together at the edge of the cliff, shifting her weight to her right leg, lifting her left foot to the left and landing in an open stance; her arms rotated inward, her palms swaying diagonally downward to the sides with their palms facing backward, her legs slightly bent, and at the same time her arms rotated outward and came together in front of her abdomen.

Completely relax your whole body, calm your mind and breath, straighten your neck and lift the top of your head, relax your shoulders and let your elbows hang down, and focus your mind on your lower abdomen (Dantian).

With hands wrapped around the chest, gently embracing the ground, legs slightly bent, hands tucked into the palms, legs slowly straightened, hands rotated inward and lifted upward to the chest, palms facing up.

breathe,

It is an innate instinct of everyone, but ordinary people can only breathe in the air of heaven and earth, which is still impurities. However, martial artists who are proficient in internal martial arts are different. They create all kinds of extraordinary breathing methods, which allow them to breathe in all kinds of energy from heaven and earth, thus possessing all kinds of incredible supernatural powers.

Xiao Yue's breathing was very rhythmic when she practiced boxing. A faint thunderous sound, like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger, emanated from her body. Her spine began to rise and fall, and her blood and qi were full of vitality.

at this time,

Her blood vessels were dilating, her blood flowing like a great river, making a rumbling sound as it flowed. Her bones were pure white and made a cracking sound, as if they were being forged. Her internal organs trembled slightly, as if playing a musical piece, producing strange thunderous sounds.

"call!"

At this moment, Xiao Yue suddenly stopped exercising, raised her hands to her forehead, then slowly pressed them down to her abdomen, gently stomped her left foot on the ground, and exhaled a long breath.

Its breath was whitish, and it was three feet long.
Exhale like a sword, concentrated and unyielding!
But that wasn't the end of it. The three-foot-long white mist pierced the ancient pine tree several feet away like a flying sword, slicing it in two as easily as cutting tofu, and the ancient pine tree crashed to the ground.

She is now in the middle stage of Dark Force, and her limbs have been completely refined with Dark Force Thunder Sound. Next is the internal organs and the spine.

"It's time to seek revenge on that 'four-armed demon ape'."

Xiao Yue murmured to herself,
Saying,

She leaped down from the mountain peak, carrying a crimson dragon spear.

Xiao Yue jumped off the cliff, her red dress fluttering in the wind like a crimson phoenix spreading its wings and soaring freely among the cliffs. A strong wind howled around her, causing the surrounding clouds and mist to move rapidly.

The branches and strange rocks growing across the cliff face were shadowy and indistinct, but her body was as agile as a bluebird, easily dodging the branches and rocks. She would lightly touch the cliff face for leverage from time to time, as if she were flying through the air, and in the blink of an eye, she had covered a distance of nearly a hundred feet.

As the saying goes:
The void is like the sea, the body is like a swimming dragon, like a Kunpeng battling the wind and waves, riding the wind without a trace!

This is her unique lightness skill - Free and Easy Wandering.

...

...

At the foot of the mountain cliff,
As soon as Xiao Yan looked up, he seemed to see a figure in red, flying across the valley as if riding the wind.

"Holy crap, teacher, it looks like someone just jumped off the cliff and flew past!" Xiao Yan couldn't believe his eyes, his face filled with shock.

That's your sister!

Yao Chen rolled his eyes.
He glanced at his uncultured disciple with some disdain.

"Who are you trying to fool? My sister doesn't have wings, how could she possibly fly?"

Xiao Yan retorted with a look of disdain.

Yao Chen: "..."

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with a wicked disciple like you. Let's talk about serious matters. You've been learning alchemy from me for three months now. So, have you thought about the cultivation technique?" Yao Chen said.

"Uh, it's... it's that thing that's even weirder than a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique, the one that can... can evolve that." Xiao Yan scratched his head and said awkwardly.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, a strange expression flashed across Yao Lao's face, and he unexpectedly fell silent.

"Could it be that you were just kidding me about the technique evolving?" Xiao Yan asked, his lips twitching as he looked at Yao Lao's expression. "Sigh, that technique can indeed evolve, I didn't lie to you about that..." Yao Lao sighed softly.

Upon hearing Yao Lao admit it again, Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy. He rubbed his hands together and cautiously asked, "Then can I cultivate?"

"This technique is extremely strange. It is true that it can evolve, but the danger rate is extremely high!" After a long silence, Yao Lao sighed.

Feeling somewhat uneasy at Yao Lao's sighing and lamenting, Xiao Yan slowly withdrew his hand and asked weakly:

"How tall?"

The old doctor shook his head and said helplessly, "Since obtaining this cultivation method, I have never seen or heard of anyone practicing it. Therefore, I don't know the real answer. However, based on my experience of living for so long, the success rate of mastering this strange cultivation method to its peak is almost nonexistent..."

"Almost none?"

His face stiffened, and Xiao Yan forced a laugh, "No...no way it's that low, is it?"

With a sigh and a bitter expression, the old apothecary said, "I'm afraid it really is only this low."

"Could you tell me the general method of cultivating this technique?" Xiao Yan asked hesitantly, still somewhat unwilling to give up. The temptation of evolving into a Heaven-rank technique was simply too great for him.

The old man rubbed his withered hands together, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly, "The conditions for the evolution of this technique are also related to the strange fire I told you about a few days ago."

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, remained silent, and listened attentively.

"Alas, I obtained this cultivation technique by chance. The technique was originally nameless, but I gave it a name, 'Burning Technique'." As he said this, a complicated expression flashed across Yao Lao's face. It seemed that the process of obtaining this technique was not as simple as he made it out to be.

"The Burning Technique can indeed evolve, but its evolution requires a different kind of fire!"

The old man's voice was slightly hoarse: "You must know that strange fire is inherently a destructive and violent thing. Not only is it rare to see one in a hundred years, but even if you do see it, who can guarantee that you can successfully devour it? Back then, I almost got burned to nothingness while trying to get the Bone Spirit Cold Fire!"

"Just one kind of strange fire is enough to make a person suffer. I can't even imagine what it would be like if a person had two or more kinds of strange fire in their body..." Yao Chen sighed.

Hearing this,

Xiao Yan was also stunned, his body stiff. Evolving by absorbing strange fire? Damn it, it's not even certain who's absorbing whom! The guy who created this technique is probably a madman!

“Although the danger rate of this technique is exceptionally high, I do not doubt its potential. If one truly succeeds in cultivating it, apart from a handful of people on the Dou Qi Continent, there are probably very few who can rival it!” Yao Chen said confidently.

Xiao Yan nodded in empathy. Even legendary Dou Sheng experts, who were like gods, wouldn't dare to try integrating several different flames into their bodies so easily.

Looking at Xiao Yan, Yao Chen hesitated for a moment before asking, "Now, do you still want to learn?"

Xiao Yan fell silent.

"Old man, you seem to really want me to cultivate the Burning Technique?" Xiao Yan asked. He wasn't stupid; he could naturally see that.

Yao Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Yes."

"Why?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

"You should know that I'm currently only in a soul state, right?" Yao Chen asked, shrugging.

Xiao Yan nodded.

"In my current state, according to common sense, I should be dead. However, because my soul power is much stronger than that of ordinary people, I have survived in this strange way..." Yao Lao smiled self-deprecatingly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

"So...the teacher wants to be resurrected?"

Xiao Yan blinked, looking surprised.

"You guessed right. Under normal circumstances, the dead cannot be brought back to life. However, according to some obscure descriptions in the Burning Technique, if one successfully cultivates it, it seems that one can use several different kinds of strange fires that work together to forge a body that can accommodate a soul. At that time, having a new body, I can be considered to have been reborn in another way!"

"I've endured so many years in that endless darkness within the ring, hoping one day to meet someone whose soul power meets the requirements. I'm so lucky, I finally met you..." Yao Chen sighed, a barely perceptible sadness hidden on his withered old face.

Looking at Xiao Yan, whose dark eyes were fixed on him, Yao Chen smiled bitterly again: "Hehe, just take these words as idle chatter from this old man!"

After all,

Yao Chen stretched out his withered palms, and with a slight shake of his hands, two somewhat illusory scrolls, one black and one red, appeared on his palms.

"The red scroll contains the high-level fire-attribute Earth-rank cultivation technique, 'Great Sun Burning Heaven Technique,' while the black scroll is the 'Burning Technique.' Choose whichever you prefer..."
