Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 547 Information: Leaving the Island, Next Stop

"With my daughter by my side, she should be able to keep this guy away from all those unwanted suitors!" Medusa glanced at Lin Yuan, a wisp of melancholy flashing through her alluring eyes like a wisp of smoke.

"That's exactly what I'd like to hear!" Lin Yuan readily agreed to Medusa's suggestion.

"That girl Xiao Cai has been cooped up in this cold pond for too long, it's good for her to go out and get some fresh air. But with her gone, you'll be missing someone to amuse you and keep you entertained!"

His slightly amused tone carried an undisguised teasing undertone.

Medusa rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't give me that. Who knows what you're really thinking! With Xiao Cai by your side, I can finally focus on my cultivation... Tsk, even though my cultivation is higher and I went into cultivation before you, I never expected you to surpass me..."

At this point, a faint look of resentment appeared on her cold and beautiful face—although she had broken through to the level of a half-saint, she was still a few steps away from becoming a mid-level half-saint.

Having maintained a leading position in cultivation for several years, he has now been overtaken by Lin Yuan.

However, although Medusa's face showed a slight 'displeasure', she did not have much resistance deep down. On the contrary, she felt a little expectant. She did not dislike the feeling of chasing the other party. Instead, she had a wonderful feeling of eagerness.

On the other side, Lin Yuan chuckled when he heard his wife's unwilling words, and then took out something and handed it to her.

"Cultivation level...heh, look at this?"

"This is... a seven-colored... eight-colored raw stone? You got another one?" Medusa's eyes flashed with surprise as she looked at the dazzling, shimmering stone.

"Eight colors? Your Majesty, take a closer look!"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, gently placed the dazzling colored stone in his hand into Medusa's palm, and said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Medusa seemed to remember something, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

She quickly raised her hand and examined the colored stone closely, finally seeing the barely visible but definitely present colored line.

"This...this really is a nine-colored raw stone?!" Medusa's voice trembled slightly, filled with undisguised excitement and surprise. She rubbed the nine-colored raw stone in her hand with her jade-like hand, her cold and beautiful face now full of surprise.

Although there is only one color difference between eight-color and nine-color, the energy contained within them is vastly different.

Seeing Medusa's surprised expression, Lin Yuan's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled, "That's right, it's the Nine-Colored Origin Stone... How about it, surprised, right?!"

Gently closing her eyes, Medusa took a deep breath. After a moment, once her turbulent emotions had completely calmed down, she carefully stored the nine-colored raw stone in her storage ring.

After a moment's hesitation, she raised her head and turned her gaze to Lin Yuan, who was smiling at her.

"Where did you get this?"

"It was something I got by chance during my travels, you don't need to worry about it too much!" Lin Yuan shrugged and revealed a carefree smile.

Then, as if remembering something, he straightened his expression and said, "Speaking of which, I've found an extremely cold place where the energy is even more abundant than this Extreme Nether Abyss. It's perfect for your secluded cultivation..."

"Oh? Where is it?" Medusa's eyes softened, and she gently stroked Lin Yuan's cheek with her jade-like hand, asking softly.

"The Nine Netherworlds." Lin Yuan stared at Medusa and solemnly said, "If you wish to transform into the Nine-Colored Realm, the Nine Netherworlds of the Nether Serpent Mountains might be a place you should visit!"

"The Nine Netherworlds... Is there anything special about that place?" Medusa raised an eyebrow slightly, asking in confusion.

"Hmm!" Lin Yuan nodded and introduced in a deep voice: "Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs is the sacred land of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. It is hidden deep in the earth. Its spring water is extremely yin and cold. For the snake clan's powerful members who are already inclined to yin and cold, it is a top-notch cultivation place."

"Among the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, any expert who is about to advance in rank will go to the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs to soak. Doing so will make the subsequent breakthrough much smoother."

"When I went to find a special medicinal herb before, I went deep into the Nine Netherworlds. That place... is indeed an excellent place for cultivation!"

"Oh, right, there's one more thing you should pay attention to."

He paused, his expression turning serious, and added, "At the bottom of the Nine Netherworld, for a moment, I faintly sensed the aura of the Devouring Python, but when I carefully probed it with my soul power, I found nothing... But my intuition is never wrong."

In this way, Lin Yuan informed Medusa about the Nine-Colored Stone and the Devouring Python's Nest in a seemingly casual yet reasonable manner.

Lin Yuan has never been inclined to show his "prophetic" side to those around him.

Judging from his own experience, if a "prophet" appeared in Lin Yuan's life, he would probably find a way to eliminate him... otherwise, it would be too awkward!

"Does the depths of the Netherworld hold the aura of my race? That's interesting!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Medusa quickly realized a possibility, and her expression immediately became serious. She lightly tapped her forehead with her fingertips, quickly recalling the bloodline secrets she had inherited, trying to find relevant information.

As for Lin Yuan's words, she had no doubts and trusted them completely, and she was determined to go and investigate.

On the other side, after thinking it over carefully for a while, Lin Yuan continued to make more detailed arrangements.

"In just a few months, Qing'er will be able to break through to the Dou Sheng level."

"Afterwards, she will go to the Nether Serpent Mountains to oversee the area and take control of the Nine Netherworld Python to complete some tasks I've entrusted to her. You can go with her then... With her protection, I can feel more at ease while you cultivate in seclusion outside Dragon Island..."

The process of Medusa transforming into the Nine-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python will, barring unforeseen circumstances, take several years and require the care of someone worthy of trust.

"Little Qinglin is almost a Dou Sheng already? That's fast!"

Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Medusa was also slightly taken aback—she had expected Qing Lin to cultivate quickly, but she hadn't expected the latter to be so fast, far surpassing her.

Lin Yuan's joking remark from several years ago now seems to have come true.

However, Medusa was not discouraged at all. On the contrary, she became even more determined. When she thought of the nine-colored raw stone in her ring, a confident smile appeared on her lips.

Once she digests that nine-colored primordial stone, her bloodline and strength will surely see a huge boost, and breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm will be a piece of cake.

"Hehe, little man, you've done well... I'll reward you handsomely!"

Medusa smiled alluringly, gently licked her tempting red lips, and moved her slender finger slightly to touch Lin Yuan's lips, stopping him from uttering his words of advice.

Lin Yuan sensed something, placed his left hand on the beauty's slender waist, and lifted her smooth chin with his right hand, then gently raised it.

What comes into view is a pair of bewitching eyes, burning with passion, with an inexplicable charm flowing freely within them; a pair of slightly parted, gorgeous red lips, like a delicate and luscious flower, exuding endless allure!
Having been separated for over a year, the Snake-People Queen's body and soul deeply missed the person before her. Furthermore, she needed to express the joy of obtaining the Nine-Colored Stone.

Seeing this, a burning desire flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He suddenly exerted force with his left hand, grabbed Medusa's slender waist, and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Their eyes met, and there was no need for any other words; their bodies were so perfectly in sync that they were inseparable.

Immediately, an icy blue barrier materialized, isolating a small world at the bottom of the icy pool. Seven-colored energy formed a veil to separate the inside from the outside. Before long, an extremely beautiful little girl was thrown out of that isolated little world...

Xiao Cai stared blankly at the sealed-off space, blinking her wide, incredulous eyes.

Mother and Father actually abandoned their little darling?!

Three days later, Lin Yuan, who had once again successfully subdued the demon, emerged from the sealed-off world, clutching his aching back.

He picked up Xiao Cai, who was standing there in a daze, and with a flash, he flew out of the Extremely Dark Abyss like lightning, leaving only a residual image that gradually dissipated at the bottom of the cold pool.

After bidding a brief farewell to Qinglin, who was in seclusion, Lin Yuan found Feng Qing'er, who had already emerged from seclusion, and together with her and Xiao Cai, they left Ancient Dragon Island.

At this time, there was only about a month left before the Four Directions Pavilion Conference!
-
In the Beast Realm, on the vast and boundless horizon, a sea of ​​clouds surges.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

Amidst this vast sea of ​​clouds, a massive ship-like figure pierced through the clouds, tearing them apart and creating a series of whooshing sounds.

On the deck at the bow of the ship, Lin Yuan fed Xiao Cai with great interest while sizing up the girl in the colorful dress in front of him.

"Peak Dou Zong, not bad... very good!"

After a long while, he smiled gently, a meaningful and satisfied smile on his face.

With her cultivation level at this level, coupled with the ancient Heavenly Phoenix bloodline and the enhancement of her physique to combat power, Feng Qing'er, if she were to use all her methods, could even defeat an ordinary Dou Zun powerhouse, making her a test—a test of the true value of her "protagonist halo".

Despite her outward composure, Feng Qing'er was secretly thrilled to receive such generous praise from Lin Yuan.

She lowered her eyes slightly, recalling the experiences of the past year, and her heart was filled with emotion.

In just one year, Feng Qing'er went from the peak of Dou Huang to the peak of Dou Zong... This kind of improvement was something she could never have imagined before!

What's even more remarkable is that she reverted to her ancestral form as an ancient celestial phoenix, becoming the highest-ranking phoenix bloodline in the world.

During her months on Dragon Island, under the arrangement of the Ancient Dragon Queen, she fought against many powerful members of the Ancient Dragon Clan, gradually mastered her own Ancient Heavenly Phoenix power, and also deeply understood the huge gap between the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

Regardless of the potential difference brought about by bloodline, even if the cultivation levels are equal, the ancient Heavenly Phoenix's powerful combat strength can crush the Heavenly Demon Phoenix of the same realm like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.

At the same time, she was also very clear in her heart that the reason she was able to obtain this incredible fortune was entirely due to the meticulous help of the person in front of her.

Thinking of this, Feng Qing'er involuntarily raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yuan, who was feeding Xiao Cai.

The rather heartwarming scene softened her usually haughty expression, and filled her with a sense of wonder.

This was the first time she had ever seen Lin Yuan in his "father" role...

At this moment, Lin Yuan's calm voice rang out, interrupting the phoenix girl's daydreams: "In that case, you should return to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion! The appointed day for your appointment with Venerable Thunder is approaching; it's time to show him your current strength. I imagine he will be quite surprised..."

Feng Qing'er was slightly taken aback. After regaining her senses, a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes, and she nodded gently: "Fenglei Pavilion, yes, it's time to go back!"

After saying that, she gave Lin Yuan a deep look, and without further hesitation, she turned around and was about to leave.

As she was about to leave, Lin Yuan's admonishing words rang in her ears: "Little Phoenix, remember... possessing a treasure is a crime; do not easily test the greed of the strong."

"In this world, the human heart is unfathomable, and so is the heart of a beast!"

"You must know how precious the bloodline of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix is! Before you are strong enough, do not reveal it to even your own clansmen... The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief Huang Tian and Young Clan Chief Jiu Feng are far more complicated than you think."

"I understand!" Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er's eyes flashed with a solemn look, and she nodded heavily.

"Alright, go ahead!" Lin Yuan fed the pill to Xiao Cai, waved his hand, and said, "We'll meet again at the Four Directions Pavilion Grand Assembly in a month. I look forward to your performance then..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er smiled confidently: "This time, I won't let you down."

At this moment, she was absolutely confident that she could avenge her previous humiliation!
Without further hesitation, she lightly touched the deck with her toes, and her graceful figure leaped into the air, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint rainbow of color that gradually dissipated under the clear sky...

Lin Yuan gazed in the direction she had left, his eyebrows slightly raised, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Daddy, where are we going to play next?" Xiao Cai asked indistinctly, chewing on a pill in Lin Yuan's arms.

"Southern Region, Starfall Pavilion!"

Hearing Xiao Cai's words, Lin Yuan snapped out of his reverie, tugged at her cheek, and replied with a smile.

As he finished speaking, the airship trembled violently, the spatial fluctuations around it became more intense, and its speed increased sharply, heading straight towards the Tianxing Mountain Range.

During the rest of the journey, Lin Yuan did not stop along the way.

With the shuttle boat traveling at full speed, he arrived at the Starfall Pavilion's territory in less than two days.

After entering the Starfall Pavilion's territory, Lin Yuan clearly noticed that the aura and number of powerful figures around him had increased significantly compared to his last visit. In some important cities along the way, there were even two or three Dou Zun powerhouses stationed there.

Such a feat is exceptional, even on a continent-wide scale.

Overall, after Yao Lao successfully advanced to the level of a half-saint, his reputation as the former "number one alchemist on the continent" and now the "saint of medicine" has led to the Starfall Pavilion's strength expanding at a terrifying rate.

"With this level of strength, the Starfall Pavilion is more than capable of dealing with matters in the border regions."

After briefly surveying a few cities, Lin Yuan drew a general conclusion and decided not to linger. He flew directly to the Tianxing Mountain Range, transforming into a streak of light and rushing into the space where the Starfall Pavilion was located...
