Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 125 Nalan Yanran: Teacher, I'm sorry, I also like Lin Ran.

Burn their bodies, ignite their hearts, and incinerate their souls!

As time went by, Nalan Yanran gradually adapted to the feeling of tempering her body with inner fire.

With these days of cultivation, Nalan Yanran has gradually adapted to the burning sensation in her body and the feeling of condensation in her meridians and fighting spirit. In fact, she has even vaguely come to like that special feeling.

However, today's Heart Fire Body Tempering seems to be a little different.

As the fire in her heart ignited, the same burning pain surged through her, but when Nalan Yanran closed her eyes and began to enter a meditative state, she suddenly felt the world around her change abruptly, and her head seemed to be suddenly struck by a burst of intense energy, causing her to faint.

When she awoke again, the intense pain from the heart fire made her instinctively cry out. Nalan Yanran felt her entire body was being burned by the heart fire, becoming somewhat numb, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at her body.

"How could this be? How could this happen today..."

The feeling was quite peculiar; it was different from the pain of the past, more like a tingling sensation.

Pain is often easy to tolerate, but the tingling sensation is far more terrifying than pain.

The terrifying tingling sensation caused Nalan Yanran unbearable pain, even rendering her unable to think. The tingling sensation seemed to emanate from her very bones, and she was enduring extremely intense suffering.

And some...

hapiness?!

The intense pain and twisted pleasure nearly drove her to the brink of collapse. Nalan Yanran was trembling and shaking all over; she didn't even know how much longer she could endure it.

"I must persevere! I absolutely must persevere!"

"Xiao Yan's strength has long surpassed mine... No, even if I ignore Xiao Yan, I want to help my teacher, help the sect leader, and share their burdens..."

"I don't want to be a useless pretty face... Just hang in there, I'll keep going!"

After years of training and experience, Nalan Yanran was quite confident in the resilience of her will, but faced with this kind of inner fire, she was on the verge of collapse.

adhere to!

patience!

I know I can do it, I know I can get through this!

Nalan Yanran kept hypnotizing herself and persevering little by little.

As time went by, her body began to go numb from the excruciating pain, and her vision became incredibly blurry. Just when she was about to give up, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

He was a handsome, young man.

He wore a black robe, his long hair was as black as ink, and his handsome expression was as calm as still water.

Holy flames burned on his slender fingertips. He gently raised his hand, and the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame danced on his fingertips like a spirit. With each pulse of the holy flame, Nalan Yanran could feel her soul trembling.

"metropolitan……"

Nalan Yanran murmured, somewhat incredulous, wondering why Lin Ran's figure had appeared before her.

She knew her own heart and understood what she needed at that moment.

But that's not right!

The sect leader has already been with the teacher... No, I can't do this, I can't do this...

but……

I can't hold on any longer...

Nalan Yanran unconsciously took a step and walked towards Lin Ran, while Lin Ran...

He simply gazed at Nalan Yanran quietly, his handsome face always bearing a serene smile, as if he were composed and elegant towards all things in the world.

He looked at Nalan Yanran, seemingly understanding her longing and pain, and gently extended his palm towards her.

Nalan Yanran subconsciously reached out her hands and gently cupped Lin Ran's hands in her chest. It seemed that in that instant, the pain and numbness she was experiencing were lessened by half.

She threw herself into his arms almost without hesitation. The burning pain in her heart seemed to disappear completely at that moment. This feeling made Nalan Yanran hug Lin Ran tightly, as if she wanted to melt her whole being into Lin Ran's embrace.

Unbeknownst to them, their clothes had been completely removed. Amidst the unspeakable scene, Nalan Yanran's eyes were filled with tears, and she uttered words full of apology in a low voice.

"I, I have already..."

"I'm sorry, teacher..."

……

The fierce battle slowly came to an end, and Lin Ran was even able to synchronize everything in the illusion through the sensations on his heart fire.

Looking at Nalan Yanran, who was still savoring the afterglow, Lin Ran didn't know what to say for a moment.

What's this all about? His target was clearly only Yun Yun, so why is Nalan Yanran involved too...?

"Really, oh well, at least I've passed the test of the inner fire, so I guess it's an opportunity."

Looking at Nalan Yanran, whose clothes were disheveled, Lin Ran sighed softly, took out a black robe from his storage ring, draped it over Nalan Yanran's shoulders, and then left the room.

As Lin Ran left, the power of the Holy Gold Meteor Heart Flame and the Heart Flame Body Tempering gradually dissipated, and Nalan Yanran slowly awoke, looking around at everything with a confused expression.

It was an illusion; everything that just happened was an illusion.

but……

Nalan Yanran sat on the ground, somewhat lost in thought. She suddenly realized that after she completed the Heart Fire Body Tempering, her fighting spirit and soul power were enhanced, but she was not as excited as she had expected.

On the contrary, she felt a sense of loss at that moment.

Or perhaps, everything that had just happened in that illusion had captivated the young girl, making her linger and reluctant to leave...

"Sect Master... wait, what is this?!"

Nalan Yanran murmured Lin Ran's name, when suddenly her pretty face froze, and her gaze fell on the black robe covering her.

This black robe...

Could it be?!

In an instant, Nalan Yanran recalled everything that had happened during the Heart Fire Body Tempering. At the same time, she quickly lifted her black robe to check her condition.

Although there were no signs of any disturbance on her body, her disheveled and slippery clothes said it all.

In an instant, Nalan Yanran's pretty face was flushed, and her hands were tightly gripping the black robe.

"Sect Master...did you see everything...?"

"Me, me..."

For a moment, Nalan Yanran was filled with shame. She could understand how she looked during the Heart Fire Body Tempering Trial, but who could have imagined that the person she had imagined would actually break through the trial and see her in that state!

What is she supposed to do?!

"Aaaaaah!!"

……

Lin Ran emerged from the secret room with a strange expression.

In his view, it was absurd for him to appear during Nalan Yanran's trial of the Heart Fire Body Tempering. If a man were to appear, it should have been Xiao Yan, since he hadn't defeated Nalan Yanran during the three-year agreement...

However, Lin Ran overlooked one point: after Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, everything he showed was far more shocking and powerful than Xiao Yan himself.

Sometimes, what wins a girl over isn't long-term companionship, but a moment of shock and excitement.

Lin Ran just happened to give Nalan Yanran that feeling.

However, Lin Ran didn't think too much about it. Nalan Yanran had safely passed the Heart Fire Body Tempering, but Yun Yun's situation was still unstable.

Although Lin Ran was very confident in Yun Yun's breakthrough to Dou Zong, and even had the help of the Breakthrough Pill, this was still a major breakthrough from Dou Huang to Dou Zong, so how could he not be worried?

The space twisted, and Lin Ran's figure easily passed through the battle qi barrier set up by Yun Yun and stepped into the house.

In the spacious and empty hall, a graceful figure sat quietly cross-legged. She wore a white veil, her beautiful face as white as snow, her eyes were closed, and her body was surrounded by fighting spirit as she quietly cultivated.

"His breathing is steady, and his battle aura is strong; there shouldn't be any problems."

Lin Ran observed for a moment, breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat cross-legged beside Yun Yun to protect her. He also actively infused her with battle qi and released the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame to fill the hall with energy.

With Lin Ran's help, Yun Yun's condition improved significantly. However, half an hour later, a burst of energy roared through the entire hall, and then the energy in the hall began to fluctuate violently.

As the roar resounded, the energy within the hall seemed to be drawn in, frantically converging towards Yun Yun's body. Lin Ran, his face beaming with joy, waved his hand, replenishing her energy while reinforcing the surrounding battle qi barrier.

To outsiders, Yun Yun's strength was already at the Dou Zong level, so there was no need for outsiders to know about such a breakthrough.

The energy required for a Douhuang to break through to Douzong is extremely large, and it can even easily trigger energy tides in the world.

If it were an ordinary person, using their own battle qi as a supplement, it would take an unknown amount of battle qi to support this level of improvement, because breaking through this bottleneck is not the same as a Battle Emperor breaking through to Battle Master, which is equivalent to the battle qi content of a Battle Master.

What he needs is several times the amount of battle qi of a Dou Zong to break through that bottleneck.

Fortunately, battle qi was not a problem for Lin Ran at all. Even if he was a Dou Zun powerhouse, the inexhaustible nature of his Pure Yang Body was enough to keep Yun Yun well-fed.

Thick pure Yang battle qi filled the entire hall, and the battle qi vortex above Yun Yun's head became increasingly turbulent, with a massive amount of battle qi being absorbed by Yun Yun.

As more and more pure Yang battle qi was absorbed by Yun Yun, a powerful aura, like a giant dragon awakening, slowly emanated from Yun Yun's body. The strength of that aura even surprised Lin Ran.

This is not the kind of power that an ordinary Dou Zong (Battle Master) could possess!

The power of this fighting spirit is no less than that of Medusa when she evolved. But you must know that Medusa was an ancient beast, the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, while Yun Yun...

She simply doesn't have an ordinary constitution.

But at this moment, Yun Yun's breakthrough could actually create such a huge commotion, which shows how strong her foundation was and how high her aptitude was!

Of course, Lin Ran's pure Yang energy also played a significant role in replenishing and refining it day and night.

The energy within the main hall roared ever stronger, and the vortex formed by the energy spun faster and faster. A massive amount of pure Yang battle qi was poured into Yun Yun's body. Combined with a bit of the power of the Holy Golden Meteor Heart Flame, Yun Yun's entire skin was covered with a layer of golden powder.

With a silent crack, a unique aura burst forth from Yun Yun's body, and the energy throughout the hall seemed to sense something, spreading out like ripples on water.

"Buzz!"

Yun Yun, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. A faint air of nobility emanated from her brows, and her beautiful face exuded a calm elegance.

One-star Dou Zong!

Sensing Yun Yun's Dou Zong aura, Lin Ran smiled slightly.

"Very good, the strength of this battle qi is comparable to a two-star Dou Zong. Truly worthy of Yun'er!"

"If it weren't for your help, Aran, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have been able to break through."

Seeing Lin Ran's praise, Yun Yun's pretty face also showed a smile, her red lips slightly pursed: "The effect of that Breakthrough Pill is really too good. I was only slightly confident before, but with the help of that Breakthrough Pill, I am now 50% confident of breaking through to the Dou Zong realm!"

"With the added boost of your battle aura, you were able to complete the breakthrough... Aran, isn't your alchemy skill now far superior to Gu He's?"

"Gu He?" Lin Ran was slightly taken aback, then smiled helplessly. He grabbed Yun Yun's slender waist and pulled her into his arms amidst her exclamation. "You look down on your husband like that? I am a genuine high-level seventh-grade alchemist with a spiritual realm soul. With a little more practice in alchemy, I can even try to refine eighth-grade pills."

"Seven, a high-grade seventh rank, and you can even refine eighth-rank items?!"

Yun Yun's surprised red lips turned into an "oh" shape, which made Lin Ran's appetite soar, and he couldn't help but take a bite.

Yun Yun gasped again, but with her lover so passionate, she naturally wouldn't resist. She parted her teeth slightly and let his domineering advance inside.

A moment later, their lips parted.

"Aran, I heard from Yanran about what happened at the Gate of Life and Death. Are you alright?"

Yun Yun, her pretty face flushed and slightly out of breath, looked at Lin Ran with concern.

The founder of the Yunlan Sect, Venerable Yun Potian, was a terrifying existence at the Dou Zun level. He actually set up such a method in the Gate of Life and Death, and then even tried to devour Lin Ran's body and soul.

Such a thing was chilling to hear. Although she had complete faith in Lin Ran, Yun Yun couldn't help but worry about him.

Do I look like something's wrong to you?

Seeing Yun Yun's worried expression, Lin Ran felt a warmth in his heart and playfully pinched Yun Yun's delicate nose: "It's just that your Gate of Life and Death may not be there anymore after this."

"It's good that you're alright. The Gate of Life and Death doesn't matter."

Hearing that Lin Ran was alright, Yun Yun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Although the Gate of Life and Death is the most mysterious treasure of the Yunlan Sect, it is not actually that important to the Yunlan Sect.

In the decades of development of Yunlan Sect, the Gate of Life and Death has only been used once, when Yun Yun was still in the Dou Ling stage and used the Gate of Life and Death to break through to the Dou Wang stage.

Besides that, there's Nalan Yanran's latest incident.

For the Yunlan Sect today, the existence of the Gate of Life and Death is extremely low; it makes no difference whether it exists or not, and ordinary disciples are not qualified to be selected.

Moreover, with the talent of geniuses like Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, even without the infusion of battle qi from the Gate of Life and Death, it's only a matter of time before they break through to higher realms.

Conversely, without the Gate of Life and Death, they might not be able to achieve a rapid increase in their battle qi in a short period. However, without the talent absorbed by Yun Potian, their future achievements would likely be even greater and stronger!

Actually, if you think about it carefully, the Yunlan Sect has been in decline ever since Yun Potian.

The strength of the sect leaders throughout the ages has generally been stuck at the peak of Dou Huang, and they have not even been able to break through to Dou Zong. Yun Yun suspects that the biggest culprit is Yun Potian.

The successive sect leaders of Yunlan Sect, whose talents were drained, were as if their future had been cut off. Without a tremendous opportunity, they would probably only be able to reach the Dou Zong level in their entire lives!

Just like the clouds and mountains.

If it weren't for the help of the Soul Hall, Yun Shan would have been stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang realm for his entire life.

"I'm very pleased that you were able to see through the essence of the Gate of Life and Death. As a reward, I have a surprise for you."

Lin Ran pinched Yun Yun's pretty face, and with a slight movement of his palm, an invisible force emerged.

"This is……"

Feeling the power in Lin Ran's palm, Yun Yun's face showed surprise: "Spatial power?!"

Yun Yun has already broken through to the Dou Zong level, and naturally she has also mastered the power of space. Although it is only superficial, it can be considered that she has officially begun to come into contact with this high-level power of the Dou Qi Continent.

"It is indeed spatial power, but it is not ordinary spatial power."

Lin Ran smiled mysteriously: "Try making contact with it using your soul power."

Yun Yun curiously activated her soul power, gently touching the invisible spatial force.

Suddenly, a strange feeling welled up in Yun Yun's heart, and her mind began to stir.

The next moment, Yun Yun felt the world before her suddenly change. The two people who were originally in the main hall disappeared and their figures were now in a vast space!

"This, this is..."

Yun Yun stared wide-eyed at the world before her, her face filled with disbelief.

Lin Ran smiled slightly and gently took Yun Yun's hand, allowing her to fully experience everything in front of her.

"Yun'er, welcome to the Holy Land."

Lin Ran smiled faintly, paused slightly, and whispered in Yun Yun's ear, who was still stunned.

"Your sacred domain."
