Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 127 The Special Features of the Gate of Life and Death

(The third update will be a little later.)

"These are all very difficult to obtain. Pills are secondary. You can easily obtain the blood essence of an eighth-order magical beast with your influence as an alchemist, but how do you obtain the remains of a Battle Saint?"

The remains of a Dou Sheng are plundered by powerful figures on the continent as soon as they are born, who extract Dou Sheng essence from them. This essence is then used on infants or children under five years old.

So even if the child was a cripple before, after using it, he will be cleansed of his marrow and bones and become a genius. This effect is hard to believe, but it is indeed true.

Even if it's not given to children, the benefits for a Dou Zun powerhouse are considerable, and it can even greatly improve their cultivation. Therefore, it's almost impossible to find a complete Dou Sheng remains.

If the remains of a Battle Saint were to appear in a secret realm, they would undoubtedly be divided up and devoured by numerous powerful individuals.

Xiao Kong's words were a blow to Xiao Li. He knew all too well that the remains of a Dou Sheng expert were extremely rare. But Xiao Li remembered that decades later, the Beast Domain would have the remains of a Creation Saint.

Xiao Li was confident that he had the strength to seize the remains of the Creation Saint at that time, but by then it was too late.

Xiao Li believed in the butterfly effect; he knew that his actions were bound to cause some things to go astray, so he wanted to plan ahead.

"I will do my best to prepare these materials for you! Elder, could you tell me about the Heavenly Tomb and the Gate of Life and Death? I was curious about what you said about the Heavenly Tomb and the Gate of Life and Death being replicas."

Xiao Li inquired, having previously heard Xiao Kong say that the Gate of Life and Death was a replica. As far as Xiao Li knew, the Heavenly Tomb was created by a Dou Di. Could the Gate of Life and Death also be a replica? Or perhaps the blueprint for the Heavenly Tomb?

"According to legend, the Heavenly Tomb was created by a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), and later fell into the territory of our Xiao Clan and the Ancient Clan, becoming a training ground for the eight ancient clans."

This Heavenly Tomb is actually the burial ground of the strong. Some strong people die in the Heavenly Tomb and leave behind energy imprints that form energy bodies. The special energy life forms you encountered before are such examples.

The special environment within the Gate of Life and Death is modeled after the Heavenly Tomb, but the refining process is incomplete. Some can form energy bodies, while others cannot; for example, I did not become an energy body.

Five days inside the Heavenly Tomb are equivalent to one day outside, but it's different inside the Gate of Life and Death. Time is unstable; sometimes ten days inside are equivalent to one day outside, and sometimes one day inside is equivalent to ten days outside.

The powerful figure who created this Gate of Life and Death must have entered the Heavenly Tomb. He even managed to create a natural disaster like the Heavenly Tomb Energy Storm. The cultivation level of the powerful figure who created the Gate of Life and Death must be infinitely close to that of a Dou Di!

At least in my opinion, a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng wouldn't be able to achieve this, but this powerful individual still failed to refine it, and the Gate of Life and Death formed an unstable secret realm similar to the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Kong explained the situation at the Gate of Life and Death, since he had fought his final battle there and had a good understanding of the environment.

Xiao Li: "I see. I really don't know what kind of powerful person did this."

Xiao Kong: "After you become a Dou Sheng, you can enter this Gate of Life and Death again. As far as I know, this Gate of Life and Death should also be divided into three levels! Since the creator imitated the Heavenly Tomb to make it."

The Heavenly Tomb has three levels, and this Gate of Life and Death must also have a third level. I suspect that the legacy of the creator of this Gate of Life and Death is left in the third level of this Gate of Life and Death. I vaguely felt the gaze of those watching me back then.

However, I was in very poor condition at the time. My Dou Di bloodline had been extracted, my cultivation had dropped to a four-star Dou Sheng, and I was also seriously injured. I was unable to locate that gaze.

You'll need to investigate on your own later. Remember, your cultivation level must reach Dou Sheng, otherwise, you might run into trouble!

Xiao Li nodded: "I understand. So the Gate of Life and Death has such special circumstances. This makes me increasingly curious."

dong dong~

A knock came at the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Xiao Kong immediately retreated into his storage ring, while Xiao Li went to open the door.

"Who is it? Yun'er? What's wrong?" Xiao Li saw Yun Yun and then noticed a familiar old man behind her.

"You brat, I've finally found you!" Mang Tianchi angrily grabbed Xiao Li's head with his large hand.

"Why didn't you come back with me? Do you know how long I've been looking for you? When I went to Yin Valley to look for you, that girl Su told me you weren't there. Do you know how desperate I was?"

Mang Tianchi spat as he spoke, clearly indicating that he was in a bad mood.

"Hmph~ Huh? How did your cultivation level rise to six-star Dou Zong? We've only been apart for such a short time, and you've improved so much? Let this dean take a look."

Without a word, Mang Tianchi placed his hand on Xiao Li's shoulder and used his soul power to sense him: "Huh? Your battle qi is solid, without any signs of weakness, and there's nothing else there. It's strange, what kind of pill did you take to increase your cultivation so quickly?"

Xiao Li shrugged: "It was all by chance. The dean knows that I've always been lucky."

Mang Tianchi nodded, then seemed to remember something: "Speaking of opportunities, I have one here! You and I have come together; we need to act in secrecy."

Xiao Li: "Hmm? What secret? What can't you say? There are no outsiders here. Yun'er is my girlfriend, so tell me."

Mang Tianchi glanced at Yun Yun, then sensed a nine-star Dou Zong not far away with his soul power, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"I never expected that the Yunlan Sect could produce a Dou Zun. I really didn't expect it. Alright, let me show you this treasure." Mang Tianchi took out a complete white jade skeleton from his storage ring.

"What is this?" Xiao Li said in disbelief.

"That's right, it's the remains of a Battle Saint! And it's intact, the very treasure I obtained from the ruins of that Demon Thunder Saint! How about that? I'm pretty lucky, aren't I? That Demon Thunder Saint had some tricks up his sleeve."

There was more than one Demon Thunder Jade Piece, and many competitors, but I, the old man, have swept away all the benefits and gotten them all. Hahahaha, isn't this Dean amazing!" Mang Tianchi laughed heartily.

"Impressive, impressive. Dean, can we discuss something?" Xiao Li said, rubbing his hands together.

"Discuss matters? Very well, this dean is just about to discuss something with you. Speak, as long as it's not this Dou Sheng's remains, I'm open to considering anything else," Mang Tianchi said with a smile.

Xiao Li rubbed his hands together and said, "Well, that's exactly what I want—the remains. What do you think?"

thump~

"Ouch, Dean, why did you hit me?" Xiao Li cried out, covering his head.

"You still feel pain? That means you weren't dreaming. Why are you talking nonsense? You want me to give you the remains of a Dou Sheng that I obtained with great difficulty? Am I out of my mind? Or have some kind of Soul Clan member entered my brain? You're just spouting nonsense!"

"I need your help this time. Please help me extract the marrow from this Dou Sheng's remains. Once it's done, I can share some with you!"

Mang Tianchi crossed his arms and said.

"Alright then, since you're my dean, are you? Dean, do you intend to break through to the Dou Sheng realm using these Dou Sheng bone marrows?" Xiao Li asked.

"Breaking through to the Dou Sheng realm might be a bit difficult, but breaking through to the Ban Sheng realm shouldn't be a problem. Also, the Demon Thunder Saint has a map of the Void Thunder Pool; I'll go take a look then."

Oh, by the way, speaking of the Thunder Saint, he gave you a low-level Heavenly Rank Thunder attribute cultivation technique and a low-level Heavenly Rank Thunder attribute combat skill! Don't say I'm exploiting you.

Mang Tianchi tossed two silver-black scrolls to Xiao Li.
