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

Chapter 277 Excellent Materials!

boom--

A huge golden body descended from the sky and landed beside Xiao Li.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Heavenly Phoenix. However, after landing, the Heavenly Phoenix took on a human form, appearing as a middle-aged man in a purple-gold robe, exuding an air of nobility.

"That's the clan leader! This is impossible!" The phoenix, who was not far away, could not believe what it was seeing. Their invincible clan leader, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, was actually dead!

Phoenix was utterly despondent; all her last hope was gone. Now, she could only be someone's mount for the rest of her life.

Xiao Li squatted down and looked at the corpse. Even in death, it exuded an aura stronger than his own. Xiao Li had already guessed who the corpse belonged to.

However, Xiao Li soon discovered that the corpse was badly damaged, with several marks on its body indicating that it had been cleaved open by a sharp weapon.

"Ancestor Xiao Chen, please be gentle! These are top-quality materials, excellent for crafting flying combat techniques and puppets. It breaks my heart to see them like this!"

Xiao Li felt a pang of heartache just looking at him. This Huang Tian was a late-stage five-star Dou Sheng! His wings, crafted into a flying fighting technique, would undoubtedly make him the fastest on the continent! If his body were refined into a high-quality puppet, he could probably reach even greater heights!

A portal opened in the space beside Xiao Li, and a handsome, robust middle-aged man appeared next to him.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a resilient opponent, so I couldn't resist striking a few more times," Xiao Chen said with an embarrassed smile.

"Huh? Ancestor, your cultivation level? How come it's increased so much? Weren't you originally a six-star Dou Sheng in the early stage? You now look about the same as Ancestor Xiao Kong!" Xiao Li was surprised to find that Xiao Chen's cultivation level had improved a lot!

Xiao Chen nodded: "I had some fortuitous encounters. I know you've been quite busy lately, so I'll take you there in a while. You definitely have time now; that place has no shortage of time!"

Xiao Chen, early stage of Seven Star Dou Sheng! (He had a fortuitous encounter)

"Alright, I'll go take a look in a while. Right now, I need to properly prepare the remains of this demonic phoenix," Xiao Li said, stroking his chin.

"I have already extracted the demonic core and essence blood of this Phoenix Heaven." Xiao Chen handed the jade box and jade bottle to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li stroked his chin, pondering how to prepare Huang Tian's body, determined to make the most of it!

"Huang Tian should be the fastest winged magical beast on the Dou Qi Continent. If I pluck its wings and refine them into a flying fighting technique, my speed will be even greater. Wait!"

Xiao Li suddenly remembered that he had encountered the remains of an ancient celestial phoenix in the ruins of the Creation Saint. Wouldn't it be better to just pluck off the wings from those remains and use them as wings? How could the Heavenly Demon Phoenix compare to the ancient celestial phoenix?

"In that case, let's keep these wings for now. Refining them into a holy puppet should make it quite powerful! Let's do it!"

Xiao Li first collected Huang Tian's remains, and then slowly dealt with them.

Soon after, the Sword Venerable awoke. When Huang Tian's body fell earlier, Xiao Li had created a spatial barrier for the Sword Venerable, preventing external events from affecting him.

"My body! And my cultivation! This is a five-star Dou Zun! Thank you, Saint, thank you, Saint!" Sword Venerable hurriedly bowed.

"No need for thanks. This is your remaining reward: two Rank 8 pills. If you use them wisely, you can at least reach the level of a Six-Star Dou Zun."

Sword Venerable looked at the two Grade 8 pills floating in front of him and swallowed hard.

"Saint, this old man..." Sword Venerable was about to bow when Xiao Li stopped him again.

"I don't need so many formalities here. You're not bad. As a sword cultivator, you've lived up to your sword heart. The Central Plains are not peaceful right now, so I'm sure your Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion isn't having an easy time either, is it?"

This saint will show you the way: just take the people of the Myriad Swords Pavilion and go to the Starfall Pavilion. As for the inheritance, the inheritance exists only when the person is alive; if the person is gone, everything is gone.

When you see Yao Chen later, tell him that I asked you to lead the Myriad Swords Pavilion to join the Starfall Pavilion. I think he'll give me some face.

Xiao Li said slowly. He felt that this Sword Venerable was not bad. Although his strength was weak, his swordsmanship was quite powerful. With proper training, he would be quite capable. So he decided to give him to Yao Chen.

"Thank you, Saint!" the Sword Venerable bowed.

Xiao Li returned to Xiao Realm riding a phoenix; he hadn't been back for some time.

"Stay here and don't wander off, do you hear me?" Xiao Li said coldly to Phoenix.

"Yes, Master." Phoenix's voice was hoarse and devoid of any emotion; she had given up completely.

. . . . . .

At Xiao Li's residence, in the courtyard, there was a pair of beautiful women who looked exactly alike embroidering.

"Yuhan, Yurou!"

Xiao Li appeared in the courtyard and saw his two beautiful wives. The warmth of home made Xiao Li feel comfortable all over. There is no place like home.

After spending some time with the two sisters, Xiao Li asked, "Where's Yun'er? Where are the children?"

Pei Yuhan smiled gently and said, "Yun'er took Yanran on a trip, Xiaoyun went to Burning Flame Valley to play with Tang Huo'er, and Yu'er and Xue'er are cultivating in Sound Valley."

My husband probably doesn't know yet, but Yu'er and Xue'er have been taken in as personal disciples by the Valley Master and the Supreme Elder (Tian Yinzi), respectively. Their talent in music even surpasses that of my sister and me.

Xiao Li nodded and sighed, "Time flies so fast. The little ones have grown up. It's a pity I haven't had time to spend with them."

Pei Yuru rubbed Xiao Li's shoulder: "Alright, we all know you've been working hard to cultivate for the family, we understand. Now that we're surrounded by external enemies, we can put personal feelings aside for now."

"By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen you two. You two are now fifth-level Dou Zun. What is Yun'er's cultivation level?"

"Xiao Li asked."

Pei Yuhan said, "Yun'er is currently a second-level Dou Zun. Her soul power is her weakness. Her Dou Qi quality is sufficient, but her soul power is insufficient, so she cannot compress Dou Qi."

Yun Yun is talented, but she also has her limits. On the path to sainthood through the Nine Revolutions, Yun Yun cannot be as fast as those abnormal geniuses. It will take her at least several decades to complete the Nine Revolutions, which is the level of most ordinary geniuses.

The Pei sisters have possessed remarkable soul power since childhood, and now both women have soul power approaching perfection in the late stage of the Spirit Realm, so compressing battle qi is not difficult for them.

Yun Yun's soul power is her absolute weakness. Previously, when her cultivation was at the peak of Dou Zun, her soul power was only at the peak of the Mortal Realm. Even when Xiao Li refined a small ball of soul essence for her, it only reached the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Realm.

"I will be staying in the Xiao Realm for a while to improve your and Yun'er's cultivation. Zi Yan is already a three-star Dou Sheng, and the three of you have been surpassed by her."

"Given Zi Yan's fearless nature, the three of you really can't control her. She'll definitely cause a ruckus," Xiao Li joked.

However, Zi Yan is indeed very strong now; the Dragon Emperor's bloodline is terrifyingly powerful!

Xiao Li smiled slightly, then led the two sisters into the room...
