Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 142 Treasure-Hunting Rat Xiao Yan and Little Yaoyue, why don't you come and greet this elder?

Seeing Xiao Yan's changed expression, the figure who called himself the Giant Sun Venerable smiled slightly, then waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't be afraid. That was just before his death. Now, I am just a little bit of my soul. I pose no threat to you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had been quite wary of this mysterious Dou Zun expert.

In particular, the latter's understanding of the strange fire was so profound that he could even suppress the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire within his body with ease.

It should be noted that Xiao Yan is currently only at the Great Dou Master level, and his greatest reliance is the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. Without this flame, his combat power would be at most at the Dou Ling level.

"I was reckless and didn't know this was where you passed away. I have disturbed you by accident. Please forgive me if I have offended you." Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said cautiously.

"You are destined to be with me, so how can you say you are disturbing me? Besides, you came here for my legacy, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately looked embarrassed.

He was naturally extremely envious of these ancestral relics, but since his ancestor wasn't completely dead and he'd been caught red-handed, it was somewhat embarrassing.

Venerable Juyang smiled faintly: "The inherited items belong to those who are destined and capable. That person outside must be your blood relative. He was able to discover the place of my inheritance, so he is destined to be with me. Unfortunately, his aptitude is mediocre and his ability is too poor to inherit my legacy."

"But you're not bad, kid."

"Senior, what do you mean by that..." Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the Giant Sun Venerable in disbelief. Then he understood and said respectfully, "Senior is a Dou Zun powerhouse. The allure of your inheritance to us is self-evident. But your soul is still intact... Senior, please tell me your conditions. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Venerable Giant Sun chuckled and nodded: "You're young, but you're quite perceptive."

"Your presence here is a matter of fate. It's not impossible for you to inherit my legacy, but you'll have to do me a favor first."

"Please speak, senior!" Xiao Yan's heart burned with excitement. This was the inheritance of a Dou Zun powerhouse!

"I observe that you possess abundant fire energy within your body, with a very faint trace of wood energy within it. You must be an alchemist, right? Moreover, you were able to subdue the Myriad Spirit Beast Fire, so your alchemy skills must be quite advanced, right?" Venerable Giant Sun smiled.

"As expected of a Dou Zun powerhouse, even with only a wisp of his soul left, his insight is still so sharp." Xiao Yan praised inwardly and nodded slightly on the surface.

"Since you are an alchemist, you must also know how to repair a person's damaged soul, right?" Venerable Giant Sun chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought to himself, "As expected."

These old monsters at the Dou Zun level are all hard-to-die creatures; even with only a sliver of their souls remaining, they are still incredibly tenacious.

Repairing his soul—this guy clearly doesn't want to die, and even wants to be reborn!

Repairing the soul of a Dou Zun level expert is no simple task. Moreover, he had just met this Giant Sun Venerable and had no idea what kind of person he was. If he helped him recklessly and the other party wanted to take the strange fire from his body after he was resurrected, what should he do?

"Hehe, kid, don't worry. I have no children or disciples in my life. If you are willing to accept my inheritance, then you will be my disciple. I would never harm you."

Seeing Xiao Yan pondering, Venerable Giant Sun couldn't help but smile, and a beam of holy light flew out from his body and merged into Xiao Yan's body.

Xiao Yan's aura suddenly expanded and surged, and the Myriad Spirit Beast Fire within his body also seemed to receive some extremely strong power, its strength actually increasing to a certain extent!

This change immediately took Xiao Yan by surprise.

Such a terrifying improvement—no wonder Xiao Li said that he had gained some power and was able to raise his cultivation to the five-star Great Dou Master level in just a few months. Just now, in that instant, his realm had already shown signs of a breakthrough.

Most importantly, the strange fire within his body had also improved slightly.

This situation, which directly enhances the strength of the strange fire, completely shattered Xiao Yan's understanding and refreshed his worldview!

"I possess an extremely powerful and yang energy. This energy can have miraculous effects on those with violent tempers, and the Strange Fire is the most violent combination of energy in the world, so it can be said to be able to unleash its full power!"

The Venerable Giant Sun smiled and said, "As long as you agree to my request, I can promise you: one year to become a Spirit Master, three years to become a Battle Emperor, and five years to become a Battle Sect Master!"

"Moreover, it's not just about strength. I also have considerable experience in fire control and alchemy. If you agree, I will certainly teach you everything I know. I can even enhance your unique fire!"

The words of Venerable Giant Sun were extremely attractive to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan remained silent for a long time, and Venerable Giant Sun did not urge him, but simply watched him calmly.

The silence lasted for several minutes before Xiao Yan finally let out a long breath, his bright eyes glancing at Venerable Giant Sun, and slowly said.

"I can help you repair your soul, but I hope you can grant me a few extra requests."

Upon hearing what Xiao Yan said, Venerable Giant Sun was also taken aback, then smiled slightly and said, "Tell me about it."

"Although I am weak, I already have a teacher. As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' I cannot abandon my teacher and become a disciple of someone else. Therefore, I may not be able to become your disciple, senior."

Xiao Yan stared intently at Venerable Giant Sun and said softly, "Furthermore, I hope that if you ever truly recover your strength, senior, you will allow me to help you once."

"Make one move?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Giant Sun looked at Xiao Yan with great interest: "The price that a Dou Zun expert pays is not something that ordinary people can afford. Besides, you are quite interesting. Since you are unwilling to become my disciple, I'm afraid you will not be able to obtain my complete inheritance."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "If I can't have it all, I can't have it all. Besides, it is indeed very expensive to have a Dou Zun expert help me. But I have already helped you restore your soul, so it's not too much for me to ask you to help me once."

"Hahaha, very good, very good, this little guy is quite the talker!"

Venerable Giant Sun laughed heartily: "If you truly help me repair my soul, what's wrong with me protecting you for a year, let alone helping you once?"

"Please rest assured, senior. This is not the first time I have repaired someone's soul, and I have some experience. Although your soul is severely damaged, it is not beyond repair." Xiao Yan smiled. He inherited many prescriptions from Yao Lao, including prescriptions for soul-repairing pills. However, the medicinal materials required are all hard to find, and it will take quite a while to find them.

"I'm waiting!"

"The Great Sun Venerable said with a smile, and then a white light burst forth from his body, instantly merging into Xiao Yan's body."

Xiao Yan's body trembled, and he subconsciously looked at the back of his hand, where a pattern resembling the sun was faintly visible...

With a thought, Xiao Yan instantly connected with the Giant Sun Venerable's will, which gave him a clear understanding of the situation.

Xiao Yan gently touched the sun mark on the back of his hand, his fist clenching involuntarily. He muttered to himself, "Soul Palace, just you wait, I'll come knocking!"

"Teacher! Father!"

"By then, all the accounts will have to be settled!"

……

"A teacher for a day is a father for life..."

Inside the Yunlan Sect, Lin Ran's eyes twitched slightly, a holy light flashing in them as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You haven't disappointed me. If you were the kind of person who only needs three spoonfuls of sugar, why would I have bothered to put in so much effort for you?"

Indeed, the Giant Sun Venerable that Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and the others encountered underground in the Tagor Desert was actually Lin Ran, or rather, a part of Lin Ran's soul power.

As Lin Ran's strength and influence continue to grow, he has widened the gap between himself and Xiao Yan, the protagonist of the original novel.

Let alone becoming his opponent, Xiao Yan was several levels below Lin Ran in even catching his eye.

A difference in levels!

However, this does not mean that Xiao Yan is useless.

As the protagonist of the original work, Xiao Yan possesses all the elements that a protagonist should have, and one of them is extremely powerful.

That's incredible luck!

Even Lin Ran, who possesses a pure Yang body, cannot compare to that kind of fortune.

When you are seriously injured, a strong person comes to your rescue; when an opportunity is taken away, a brand new opportunity will come to make up for it in the next moment!

Lin Ran saw in Xiao Yan an indescribable, heaven-defying fortune; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as having boundless good luck.

This kind of fortune is what Lin Ran desires.

Under such favorable circumstances, Xiao Yan will encounter all the rare and precious treasures in the world, and everything he needs and desires will come to him willingly.

This includes the things Lin Ran needs to repair and elevate his soul.

Things related to the soul are extremely rare. Apart from the vast amount of soul power contained in the Soul Palace, Lin Ran couldn't think of any other place where there could be so much soul power.

But Xiao Yan is different.

As the protagonist, he doesn't even need to actively search for things; they will come to him on their own!

"However, you can't go to Canaan Academy during this time... You should continue to cultivate properly outside."

"Aran."

A soft call interrupted Lin Ran's thoughts, and Yun Yun's graceful figure stepped through the air and entered the hall.

"Has everything been taken care of?"

Lin Ran gently pulled Yun Yun by the waist and used the momentum to draw her into his arms.

Yun Yun blushed slightly, gently sat on Lin Ran's lap, and leaned against his chest.

With Nuanyu in his arms, Lin Ran naturally had to do something. Yun Yun's face immediately turned red, and she spoke with a panting voice.

"I originally thought the most difficult thing would be the royal family. The Yunlan Sect has strongholds in various cities of the empire, which makes it very convenient for them to control the local city lord's mansion."

"Although Jia Xingtian is dead, the Jia Ma royal family has been the royal family of this country for hundreds of years and must be deeply rooted. But unexpectedly, the royal family actually withdrew on its own initiative."

"You withdrew voluntarily?" Lin Ran was somewhat surprised, her hand gently squeezing the soft jade, even pausing her exploration slightly.

"Um."

Yun Yun leaned against Lin Ran and said softly, "The entire royal family has left. As for where they went... I don't intend to kill them all."

Yun Yun is already a Dou Zong powerhouse, and with the Yunlan Sect now spread throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire, it would actually be very easy to investigate.

However, Yun Yun eventually softened. She had never come to this point for the sake of power. If she were to kill indiscriminately and commit heinous crimes simply because the remnants of the previous dynasty might threaten her rule, then she would not be Yun Yun.

"Being soft-hearted and soft-hearted is not something an emperor should possess."

"I know, but..." Yun Yun's hair was disheveled and her breath was unsteady: "But, I still have you, Aran, don't I?"

Lin Ran's lips curled up in a smile.

Yes, with him around, what trouble could possibly arise?

Lin Ran didn't torment Yun Yun too much; after a few passionate encounters, the battle ended.

Now that Yunyun's regime has just been established, there are too many things to do and handle, and Lin Ran himself also has a lot to do.

"Do you...do you know where my sister went?"

At the foot of Yunlan Sect's mountain, Yaoyue looked at Lin Ran with anticipation on her face.

After the battle of Black Mountain Fortress, Yao Yue realized that the threat to the royal family was a thing of the past. All she longed for was the safety of her sister. However, when she returned to the capital with Lin Ran, she heard that Yao Ye had gone missing.

If Lin Ran hadn't told her that Yao Ye hadn't died at the hands of the Yunlan Sect, Yao Yue would probably have gone mad by now.

Her grandfather died right before her eyes, and her proud identity and power shattered like a bubble in an instant. Now, her only remaining relative has also disappeared without a trace. How could Yaoyue bear this?

Where would you like her to go?

Looking at Yaoyue's expectant eyes, Lin Ran didn't speak, but instead asked a question.

Yao Yue was at a loss for words.

She didn't know where her older sister should go, or even where she herself should go.

Xue Mei, who was with her, had now joined the Yunlan Sect, or rather, the Yunlan Empire.

And what about her?

With the entire Jia Ma Empire now replaced by the Yunlan Sect, where else can she go?

"I...I don't know," Yaoyue whispered. "I don't even know where I should go..."

Go where you're supposed to be.

Lin Ran smiled faintly and said, "As for your sister, I believe you will meet again when the time is right, won't you?"

"But……"

Yao Yue stared blankly at Lin Ran, and finally let out a soft sigh. She understood why her sister had been so insistent on sending her to Canaan Academy. Everything Yao Ye had done was to protect her!

"I see."

Yao Yue murmured softly, then looked up at Lin Ran and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you so much for your help during this time, sir. I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Tomorrow, Yao Yue will depart for Canaan Academy. When Yao Yue returns after completing her studies, I will surely repay your kindness!"

"Canaan Academy?"

Lin Ran's smile was rather strange, and to Yao Yue's astonishment, he tossed out a token.

"Then it seems we won't have to wait that long. I am still a guest elder of Canaan Academy."

"Eh?"

"Little Yaoyue, why haven't I arrived yet?"
