Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Battle Through the Heavens: The Return

Dou Qi Continent, Northwest Region.

A period of time has passed since Lin Yao broke through to the Dou Zun realm. During this time, he not only completely stabilized his realm but also integrated the various powers within his body, reaching a completely new level. If he needed time to adapt to the power of this level when he first entered the Dou Zun realm, then now he is a veritable veteran Dou Zun powerhouse, exuding a terrifying aura with every move he makes.

With his current strength, sweeping across the entire Northwest Continent would be a piece of cake.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Lin Yao sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opening his eyes. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, then returned to calm. He felt the surging battle qi within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Peak of Dou Zun...I'm only one step away from Dou Sheng." He muttered to himself, "However, this step requires more than just the accumulation of Dou Qi; more importantly, it requires an understanding of the rules of heaven and earth."

He stood up, opened the window, and the fresh air rushed in. In the distance, the rolling mountains were faintly visible in the morning mist, like a traditional Chinese ink painting.

"Brother Yao!"

A clear, crisp sound came from outside the door, followed by the door being pushed open. A little girl in a purple dress skipped and hopped in; it was none other than Zi Yan, a young dragon from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

"Why are you still dawdling? Little Fairy Doctor has already prepared breakfast!" Zi Yan said, hands on her hips, looking like a little adult. "Hurry up, we still have to travel after we finish eating!"

Lin Yao smiled at her impatient look: "What's the rush? It's not like you're in a hurry to be reincarnated."

"Hmph, I don't want to stay in that awful place for another day!" Zi Yan pouted. "It's full of poisonous gas, and even the air stinks. I don't know how Little Fairy Doctor managed to put up with it."

No sooner had the words left her lips than a gentle voice came from outside the door: "Ziyan, are you talking badly about me behind my back again?"

The Little Fairy Doctor gracefully entered the room, dressed in pristine white, her long hair cascading down her back, exuding an elegant and refined aura. A gentle smile graced her face, and her gaze towards Zi Yan was filled with doting affection. Ever since Lin Yao helped her fully control the Calamity Poison Body, she had radiated a completely different glow. The gloom that had often lingered between her brows because of the Calamity Poison Body had vanished, replaced by composure and confidence.

"I didn't say anything bad about you!" Zi Yan quickly retorted. "I only said the environment here isn't good, I didn't say anything bad about you!"

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you." Little Fairy Doctor smiled and patted Zi Yan's head, then turned to Lin Yao, "Brother Yao, breakfast is ready. We can set off after we eat."

Lin Yao nodded, his gaze falling on Little Fairy Doctor, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

During this period, besides improving his own strength, his most important task was to help Little Fairy Doctor digest the resources acquired by integrating the entire Izumo Empire with the Poison Sect at its core. Although the Izumo Empire was located in a remote area, it was still a major empire in the northwest region, and the resources accumulated over hundreds of years should not be underestimated. After the Poison Sect integrated the power of the entire Izumo Empire, all kinds of rare and precious materials, cultivation manuals, and elixir ingredients flowed in continuously.

With the support of these resources, and with the personal presence of Lin Yao, a Dou Zun powerhouse, Little Fairy Doctor's foundation of strength became more solid than ever before. And the Calamity Poison Body, originally considered a death sentence, instead became an opportunity for her to further consolidate and surge in strength with Lin Yao's help.

Lin Yao, having obtained the power of the stars from the Star Palace, already possessed an extremely strong capacity for encompassing and controlling various forces. He was able to use this power to control Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body and delay its eruption. Now, with his greatly increased strength, he was able to guide and transform it at an even deeper level. He purified and refined the violent toxic power within the Calamity Poison Body, transforming it into pure energy that Little Fairy Doctor could control, allowing her cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.

In just one month, Little Fairy Doctor completely consolidated her Dou Zong power and was not far from becoming a Dou Zun.

Such a pace of progress would cause a sensation even on the entire continent.

During this process, Lin Yao and Little Fairy Doctor became even closer.

Lin Yao's gaze towards Little Fairy Doctor grew increasingly doting, his tenderness almost overflowing. Little Fairy Doctor's gaze towards Lin Yao also softened.

Seeing the two exchanging glances, Zi Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Hey, hey, hey, you two, that's enough! Spending the whole morning like this, aren't you going to eat?"

Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly: "Let's go, let's eat first."

The three entered the hall, where a sumptuous breakfast was already laid out on the table. Although with their current cultivation levels, they could go without food for ten days or half a month without any problem, Little Fairy Doctor still habitually prepared enough for the three of them.

After breakfast, Lin Yao summoned the high-ranking members of the Poison Sect to arrange the next steps.

"After I leave, the affairs of the Poison Sect will be managed by you all." Lin Yao sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below. "The primary task is to annex the three surrounding small countries—the Mulan Empire, the Luoyan Empire, and several kingdoms in the northern part of the Chuyun Empire."

"These countries are not powerful, but their geographical locations are important. By incorporating them into the Poison Sect's territory, we will be able to control the southern part of the entire Northwest region, laying the foundation for future development."

"Yes, Sect Master!" the crowd replied in unison.

Lin Yao nodded, gave some more details, and then waved his hand: "Go, proceed according to plan. If you encounter any problems you can't handle, send someone to Canaan Academy to find me."

After arranging everything, Lin Yao left the Poison Sect with Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan, and set off back to Canaan Academy.

The three rode a flying magical beast, soaring eastward through the sky. Below stretched rolling mountains and vast plains, dotted with occasional towns and villages.

"Brother Yao, what is Canaan Academy like?" Little Fairy Doctor sat next to Lin Yao and asked curiously. She grew up in the Chuyun Empire and later spent a long time in the Poison Sect, so she didn't know much about other forces in the Central Plains and Northwest Region.

"Canaan Academy is the largest academy in the Northwest region, having cultivated countless powerful individuals," Lin Yao explained. "The inner courtyard has an excellent cultivation environment, especially the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, where the Fallen Heart Flame is highly beneficial for cultivation. Once you get there, you should be able to consolidate your current realm more quickly."

"And there are lots of fun things there!" Zi Yan interjected. "The library has tons of books, the alchemy department has delicious pills, and there's even an arena where you can fight... It's way more interesting than that awful place, the Poison Sect!"

Seeing Zi Yan's excited expression, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile: "Now that you mention it, I'm starting to look forward to it too."

The flying monster flew eastward, traversing vast mountains and endless forests. The scenery along the way was ever-changing, sometimes lush grasslands, sometimes desolate deserts, and sometimes dense jungles.

As Lin Yao traveled, he guided Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan in digesting the power they had recently gained.

Although Zi Yan is powerful, she is still young and immature, and her control over her own power is not yet refined.

Lin Yao would also give her pointers on how to better utilize the innate abilities of the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void, so that her combat power could reach a new level.

The three chatted and laughed all the way, enjoying themselves immensely.

Several days later, the three entered the area of ​​the Black Plains.

The Black Plains, located on the edge of the Black Corner Region, is a vast and desolate land. The soil is dark brown, sparsely vegetated, with only occasional low shrubs and withered grasses. Several vultures circle overhead, their piercing cries adding to the desolate atmosphere of this wasteland.

"Once we cross this plain and then climb over the mountains ahead, we'll reach Canaan Academy," Lin Yao said, pointing into the distance.

"We're almost there!" Zi Yan stretched. "After sitting for so long, my bones are about to fall apart."

"You should be grateful," Lin Yao said irritably. "If it weren't for taking care of the two of you, I would have torn through space and gone straight back long ago. Why would I need to travel so slowly?"

"Hehe, isn't that a perfect opportunity to enjoy the scenery along the way?" Zi Yan said with a grin.

Lin Yao shook his head, too lazy to argue with her. He slowed down his flight and began to observe the surrounding scenery. Although the Black Domain Plains were desolate, they possessed a desolate and magnificent beauty. The distant mountains appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and occasionally wild horses could be seen galloping across the nearby wasteland, creating a unique atmosphere.

However, some people interpreted his actions as a sign of weakness and vulnerability.

"Big brother, look over there!"

On a high point in the Black Domain Plains, three elderly men dressed in black robes gazed at the distant sky. Their gazes fell upon the flying magical beast, or more precisely, upon the three people atop its back.

"A young man and two little girls..." The old man at the head of the group narrowed his eyes, a sinister smile appearing on his lips. "Judging from their clothes and appearance, they should be scions of some great family or sect."

"Hehe, we can't let this fat sheep go." Another old man licked his lips. "Look at that young boy, his cultivation level probably isn't that high. Those two girls are quite good-looking, one is elegant and refined, the other is charming and cute. If we catch them and sell them to the slave market in the Black Corner Region, we'll definitely get a good price."

"The third elder is right," the third elder echoed. "Our Demon Flame Valley has been operating in this Black Corner Region for so many years, relying on our keen eyesight and courage. We shouldn't let such fat sheep that come to our doorstep go to waste."

These three were none other than the three elders of Demon Flame Valley—Elder Fang Yan, Second Elder Wu Hao, and Third Elder Zhao Yan. All three were peak Dou Huang level experts, only one step away from Dou Zong. In a place like the Black Corner Region, they could be considered top-tier experts.

"Go, stop them!" Fang Yan waved his hand, and the three of them took to the air and flew towards Lin Yao and his two companions.

Lin Yao was admiring the scenery when he suddenly sensed three auras rapidly approaching. He frowned slightly and turned his head to look, only to see three black-robed old men blocking his way, their faces bearing unfriendly smiles.

"What brings you three here?" Lin Yao asked casually.

Fang Yan sized Lin Yao up and down, noticing his young age and relatively weak aura, and his contempt grew even stronger: "Kid, you look unfamiliar. This must be your first time in the Black Corner Region, right?"

"So what if it is?" Lin Yao asked calmly.

"Heh, that makes things easier." Fang Yan sneered. "The rules of the Black Corner Region are that outsiders who want to pass through here must pay a toll. Hand over your storage rings and valuables, as well as those two little girls, and we might consider sparing your life."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the two women beside him, then at the three greedy old men opposite him, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He slowed down because he wanted to chat with Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan along the way, giving them guidance on cultivation, and enjoying the scenery. Unexpectedly, these guys saw it as a sign of weakness and vulnerability.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Lin Yao asked with a half-smile.

"Enough with the nonsense!" Wu Hao snapped impatiently. "Either hand over the goods obediently, or die at our hands. The choice is yours!"

Lin Yao sighed and shook his head: "Really... courting death."

Just as he was about to make a move, Zi Yan jumped out first.

"Brother Yao, let me do it!" Zi Yan shouted excitedly, "It's been so long since I've fought, my hands are itching!"

As she spoke, she slammed her small fist directly at the three of them.

This seemingly casual punch contained terrifying power. The air exploded with a sharp bang as an invisible force swept towards the three of them.

Fang Yan's expression changed, and he quickly raised his hand to block. With a muffled thud, he felt a tremendous force strike him, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

"Hmm?" Zi Yan tilted her head, somewhat surprised. "You actually managed to block one of my punches? Not bad."

Fang Yan steadied himself, his expression turning serious. He looked at the little girl who appeared to be only seven or eight years old, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashing in his eyes.

"A shapeshifting monster!" he blurted out. "You're a shapeshifting monster!"

Wu Hao and Zhao Yan were also taken aback, then a greedy glint appeared in their eyes.

Transformed magical beasts are extremely rare. Generally speaking, magical beasts need to reach the Dou Zong level to transform into human form. The fact that this little girl looks so young indicates that her bloodline is extremely powerful, allowing her to transform into human form at such a young age.

These transformed magical beasts with top-tier bloodlines are of immense value, whether tamed as mounts or used to refine elixirs.

"Brother, this is a real gem!" Wu Hao exclaimed excitedly. "If we catch her, we'll be rich!"

Fang Yan licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with even greater greed. Although that punch had given him a sense of Zi Yan's strength, in his eyes, no matter how powerful this little girl was, she was still just a child. He believed that the three of them working together should be able to take her down without any problem.

"Attack!" Fang Yan shouted, taking the lead in making the first move.

The three simultaneously unleashed their battle auras, launching a combined attack on Zi Yan. Fang Yan formed hand seals, conjuring a massive fireball that hurtled towards Zi Yan with scorching heat. Wu Hao and Zhao Yan flanked her from both sides, sealing off her escape route.

"Transform into fire, condense!"

Fang Yan roared, and the fiery battle qi within his body surged forth, condensing into a giant fire phoenix in the air. The fire phoenix spread its wings and soared high, letting out a clear cry, before swooping down towards Zi Yan.

This is the ultimate technique of Demon Flame Valley—Transforming Fire into a Starry Sky Fire Phoenix. Its power is so great that it can incinerate a small mountain.

However, when Zi Yan saw this, she just curled her lip in disdain.

"this one?"

She stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, letting the fire phoenix pounce on her. The flames engulfed her, but the next second, they dissipated as if they had encountered something terrifying.

Zi Yan stood there unharmed, not even the hem of her clothes was scorched.

"How is this possible!" Fang Yan exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide.

"You think a mere Dou Huang-level flame can harm me?" Zi Yan scoffed. "Let me show you what true power is!"

She took a deep breath, and the power of the Ancient Void Dragon bloodline within her erupted. A terrifying aura emanated from her small body, like a long-suppressed volcano suddenly erupting. The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment, and cracks appeared on the ground, spreading in all directions.

The faces of the three people with Fang Yan turned deathly pale instantly.

"Dou... Dou Zong?!" Fang Yan stammered, his voice filled with terror.

The aura that Zi Yan was unleashing at this moment was clearly at the Dou Zong level! And not just any Dou Zong, but the terrifying aura that only a top-tier magical beast with pure bloodline could possess!

"Now you're scared? Too late!" Zi Yan sneered, and swung her small fist again.

This time, she held nothing back.

With a single punch, the very space trembled. Fang Yan and his two companions didn't even have time to scream before they were blasted into dust by that terrifying force. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, bones vanished, and even their souls were utterly annihilated.

Only a ball of blue flame hovered in the air; it was the flame that Fang Yan had conjured before his death.

Zi Yan reached out and grabbed the ball of magical flame in her hand, then skipped and hopped over to Lin Yao: "Brother Yao, look, I found something good!"

Lin Yao looked at the ball of Transformation Flame and couldn't help but smile. This Transformation Flame was the treasure of Demon Flame Valley, formed by the fusion of various exotic flames. Although it couldn't compare to a true exotic flame, it was still a rare treasure.

He extended his finger and gently touched the ball of primordial flame. A surge of stellar power flowed into it, removing all impurities from the flame and leaving only the purest essence of fire.

"Alright, you can eat now," Lin Yao said.

Zi Yan took the ball of pure, transformed flame, tossed it into her mouth like a candy, chewed it, and swallowed. A look of enjoyment appeared on her face as she squinted her eyes and said, "Hmm...not bad! It tastes a bit like roast chicken, but with an added subtle fragrance."

Seeing her greedy expression, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but tap her little head with her finger: "You little rascal, don't eat things randomly. What if it's poisonous?"

"Don't be afraid!" Zi Yan said with a grin. "I'm an ancient dragon from the Void, immune to all poisons! Besides, Brother Yao has already removed the impurities for me, so there won't be any problems."

She tugged at Little Fairy Doctor's hand and said sweetly, "Little Fairy Doctor, this is really delicious! I'll find you some more delicious food next time, I promise you'll get to try it too!"

"Alright, alright, you can eat it." Little Fairy Doctor couldn't resist her pestering, so she could only shake her head with a smile, "I'm not like you, I dare to put anything in my mouth."

Seeing the two being so affectionate, Lin Yao smiled.

As for the three Demon Flame Valley elders who were killed by Zi Yan with a single punch, Lin Yao didn't even glance at them. These clueless fools were no big deal; killing them was just like running over a speed bump on the road.

"Let's go, let's keep going," Lin Yao said.

The three boarded their flying magical beast again and continued flying eastward.

Several days later, the three finally arrived at Canaan College.

From afar, Canaan Academy sits nestled in a basin surrounded by mountains, covering a vast area. Within the academy, numerous buildings stand in orderly rows, pavilions and towers arranged in a harmonious manner. A wide stone-paved avenue runs through the entire academy, leading deeper into its heart. A powerful defensive array is deployed around the academy, emitting faint energy fluctuations that envelop the entire institution.

"We've arrived." Lin Yao looked at the familiar scenery and felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He commanded his flying magical beast to land at the academy gate, and the three of them jumped off its back. The guards at the gate, seeing Lin Yao, quickly bowed and said, "Senior Lin, you're back!"

"Mm." Lin Yao nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

He led Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan into the academy, heading straight for the inner courtyard. Along the way, many students stopped and bowed upon seeing Lin Yao, their eyes filled with awe. Lin Yao was extremely famous at Canaan Academy; he was not only a core disciple of the inner courtyard but also the undisputed number one genius of the entire academy.

After entering the inner courtyard, Lin Yao went directly to find Elder Su Qian.

Su Qian was browsing through ancient books in the study when he saw Lin Yao enter. He put down the book in his hand and said with a smile, "You rascal, you finally decided to come back? I thought you were out having fun and had forgotten that you are still a disciple of Canaan Academy."

"Elder, you flatter me." Lin Yao cupped his hands in greeting. "I was out taking care of some matters, which caused a delay."

Su Qian waved his hand, his gaze falling on the two women behind Lin Yao. His gaze lingered on Little Fairy Doctor for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"And this is...?"

"This is Little Fairy Doctor, my friend," Lin Yao introduced. "She has a calamity-inducing poison body. I helped her control her constitution back in the Izumo Empire. Now she has nowhere to go for the time being, and I'd like her to stay at the academy for a while."

"The Calamity Poison Body?" Su Qian raised an eyebrow slightly, carefully examining Little Fairy Doctor. "No wonder I sensed something unusual about her aura. You're quite capable of controlling the Calamity Poison Body."

"It was just luck," Lin Yao said modestly.

Su Qian pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Since she is someone you value, then I naturally will not refuse. Let her stay at the academy; I will give the order to arrange a quiet courtyard for her."

"Thank you, Elder." Lin Yao bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"By the way, where's Qingyue?" Su Qian asked. "Didn't she go out with you? Why haven't I seen her come back?"

"Qingyue is currently in seclusion under the protection of Queen Medusa, breaking through her cultivation barrier. I will go and bring her back once she has completed her breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian gave Lin Yao a meaningful look, but didn't say anything more.
