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

Chapter 300 Another Journey to the Ancient Realm

Two and a half years later, the Tianfu Alliance announced, "Alright, it's time to set off for the Ancient Realm!"

Xiao Li slowly said with his hands behind his back, "In the past two and a half years, Xiao Li has become even stronger. However, judging from his appearance, Xiao Li seems to be a young man with little cultivation. Apart from being somewhat handsome, he has no other special features."

"Well, leave the Heavenly Mansion Alliance to us. You are going to the Ancient Realm on behalf of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, so don't tarnish the reputation of the Heavenly Mansion." Ancestor Huoyun stroked his beard and laughed.

"I feel that the Alliance Leader will not diminish the prestige of the Heavenly Palace, but will instead cause chaos in the Ancient Realm," Yao Lao said with a smile. He understood Xiao Li's personality all too well.

"Elder Yao, you understand me. However, we'll keep a low profile this time. After all, it's not the right time to confront the Ancient Clan, given Gu Yuan's formidable strength. Let's wait until Zi Yan emerges from seclusion."

Xiao Li shrugged and said that Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi are two formidable mountains right now, and the only way to fight against them is for Zi Yan to reach the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

When Longhuang cultivates to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, he possesses combat power comparable to that of the late stage. However, his soul is Ziyan's weakness, and he cannot hold his head up in front of those two Emperor-level souls. Nevertheless, he still has some deterrent effect and is at least temporarily stronger than Void Devouring Flame!

Over the past two and a half years, Xiao Li and Shennong Laoren successfully refined a ninth-grade Xuan Dan in the Dan Realm. Xiao Li gave it to Zi Yan so she could go into seclusion. Afterwards, Xiao Li refined a precious pill that almost became a Xuan Dan on his own.

This pill still falls under the category of precious pills, but it has undergone some mutations. After Xiao Li took it, his cultivation bottleneck was broken, and he successfully reached the peak of the early stage of the five-star Dou Sheng, which was an unexpected surprise.

According to Shennong, in order to fully refine a Grade Nine Profound Pill, one's Battle Qi cultivation must reach at least the Five-Star Battle Saint level, which is the minimum, and one's Soul Realm must reach the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

This is the minimum requirement for refining a Grade 9 Profound Pill. At the level of Shennong, refining a Grade 9 Profound Pill requires one to be extremely focused, as the slightest mistake can result in a backlash from the refining process.

Just like Dan Yuantian, who refined the Pill Tower Ancestor, he once had the strength of a six-star Dou Sheng, but he still exhausted his energy and perished while refining a ninth-grade Xuan Dan. Therefore, refining a ninth-grade Xuan Dan cannot be taken lightly.

Cases like Xiao Li's, where the precious pill mutates, are extremely rare; one could easily be injured by the precious pill if not careful.

Xiao Li's current cultivation level is the mid-stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng. Now, every small level is a bottleneck. Xiao Li estimates that it would take at least ten years to reach the late stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng through his own cultivation.

After Xiao Li and the others complete the events in the ancient realm, the journey to the Bodhi Ancient Tree will begin. It is essential to obtain the Bodhi Heart, as it will improve one's aptitude and make future bottlenecks much easier.

There's also the Gate of Life and Death Secret Realm. This secret realm was created by a powerful being who imitated the Heavenly Tomb. There are probably some treasures inside, so I'll have to go and get my hands on them!

"Let's go!" Xiao Li waved his hand and led Xiao Yan and the others to the Ancient Realm.

There weren't many people going to the Ancient Realm this time. Xiao Li was the leader, bringing Xiao Yan, Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Xue with him.

That's right, the other three are Xiao Li's children. Originally, Xiao Li planned to take only Xiao Yan with him, but his three children gained some opportunities during the past two and a half years.

Just look at his cultivation level. Xiao Yan has now reached the first level of Dou Zun and successfully entered the Transformation Realm. He is also very grateful to Yao Lao for taking the time to give Xiao Yan special tutoring and refining a lot of pills.

Previously, the Tianfu Alliance found a Fire Cloud Water Flame, which Xiao Yan refined, further increasing his cultivation by more than one star.

Xiao Yan now possesses eight different flames: Three Thousand Burning Flames, Fallen Heart Flame, Sea Heart Flame, Fire Cloud Water Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, Netherworld Poison Flame, and Xuanhuang Flame.

With eight different flames, Yingjue has reached the mid-level of the Heavenly Rank. At least in terms of cultivation techniques, Xiao Yan has already surpassed his teacher, Yao Lao.

The main cultivation technique that Yao Lao is currently practicing is the Creation Sacred Scripture of the Creation Saint, which is at the intermediate level of the Heaven Rank. It is truly enviable that Xiao Yan, a Dou Zun, possesses such a level of cultivation technique.

As for Xiao Li's three children, they are even more frightening. All three of them are younger than Xiao Yan. Except for Xiao Yun, whose cultivation is a nine-star Dou Zun, Xiao Yu's cultivation has reached the third-level Dou Zun, and Xiao Xue is even more terrifying. She is the youngest but has reached the sixth-level Dou Zun!

Why did they possess such cultivation levels? It all started when the three of them went out to train. While exploring the secret realm of Zhongzhou, they were caught up in a ruin. The time flow in classic ruins is different from that in the outside world. They cultivated inside for an unknown amount of time, and only two years had passed in the outside world when they came out.

Such good fortune left Xiao Li speechless. Was their Xiao clan destined to be associated with these special relics? Xiao Chen had found one, his own child had found one, and the Gate of Life and Death was also one. Could it truly be a matter of destiny?

Xiao Xue's cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, mostly because she was refining the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal, a rare and precious material born from the Yellow Spring of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

The Yellow Spring Blood Crystal is considered a supreme treasure of the ice attribute. For a powerful cultivator of ice attribute battle qi, it is no less valuable than an alchemist obtaining a strange fire.

Xiao Xue reached this level only after refining one-third of the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal. If she were to refine all of the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal, she could probably become a Dou Sheng in one step!

This kind of opportunity almost made Xiao Yan extremely jealous. He surpassed him so easily. Every time he refined a strange fire, it was like walking through the gates of hell. Refining a strange fire even had side effects.

Xiao Yan thought he would no longer need protection after refining the Three Thousand Burning Flames, but he found that his cultivation level was still at the bottom.

Xiao Yan was unaware that refining the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal was no simple matter. If Xiao Li hadn't personally protected him, Xiao Xue would have been frozen into an ice sculpture by the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal.

Xiao Li used Yang Fire and some pills to help Xiao Xue refine the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal. Only after Xiao Xue adapted to the coldness of the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal could she refine it and transform it into her cultivation. During this period, she also needed to take eighth-grade fire-attribute pills to assist in the refining process. The difficulty of refining it was no less than that of refining a different kind of fire.

oo

Ancient Holy City, whoosh—

A streak of light descended to the ground, followed by five figures. With a Dou Sheng expert leading the way, there was no need to use the spatial wormhole; their travel speed was even faster than using a spatial wormhole.

Xiao Li led everyone to the outside of the Ancient Sacred City. After all, it was the territory of the Ancient Clan, so they gave Gu Yuan some face.

"Hmm? Lingquan?" Xiao Yan quickly spotted a familiar face.

At this moment, a young man in armor at the city gate saw Xiao Yan and immediately turned gloomy!

"Xiao Yan, who allowed you to come here!" Ling Quan roared, and the next breath he felt a chill run down his spine!

Boom!

The once clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, with lightning and thunder, as if even the heavens feared its wrath. The space around the ancient holy city suddenly fluctuated violently, distorted, and even cracked, like a shattered mirror.

An unimaginably violent and boundless battle aura erupted from Xiao Li's body, forming a visible energy storm in the next moment. This storm swept across the heavens and earth, seemingly capable of destroying everything in its path.

"A Dou Sheng level expert! A Dou Sheng level expert is enraged!"

The people who came to the Ancient Holy City were dumbfounded. How could a Dou Sheng expert be so angry? Why was this Dou Sheng expert acting like this in front of the Ancient Holy City?

An invisible pressure instantly crushed all the Black Annihilation Army soldiers at the gates of the Ancient Sacred City, making them feel as if a towering mountain was pressing down on them, rendering them unable to move. The aura was so intense that they could barely breathe, and some of the weaker soldiers even fainted on the spot. "Ancient Clan! Is this how you treat your guests? Even a guard dog dares to bark at this Sacred One?"
