Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the entire Canaan Academy in a warm golden hue.

Su Qian stood with his hands behind his back in the plaza in front of the tower, watching the nascent Heart Flame emit a soft light within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, a complex expression on his face. Behind him, the two elders, Qian Bai and Hu Qian, and the others had already dispersed, leaving him alone, gazing at the tall tower in a daze.

Footsteps approached from afar. Su Qian turned around and saw Lin Yao walking slowly towards her.

"Elder, is something on your mind?" Lin Yao walked to his side and stood beside him.

Su Qian remained silent for a moment before finally asking the question that had been weighing on his mind for so long: "Lin Yao, what exactly is your current strength?" He turned his head and looked earnestly at this disciple who had graduated from Canaan Academy. "Having lived for so many years, I'm confident in my judgment of character. That kid Xiao Yan, rising step by step from a small city like Wutan City, possesses a tenacious spirit and extraordinary luck; he's already a rare genius. That girl Xun'er comes from an ancient family, with noble blood, and her talent is one in a million. The two of them are only slightly inferior to that girl Zi Yan. But you…"

He shook his head, his tone filled with deep sigh: "I can't see through you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao was slightly taken aback, then his expression showed understanding.

He remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering how to answer the question. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Elder, to be honest, I myself am not sure what level my current combat strength is. I can only say... if I were to go all out, I should be able to rival a Dou Sheng powerhouse."

"A Battle Saint?!" Su Qian's pupils constricted sharply, his expression shifting rapidly between shock and ecstasy. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but found his throat dry.

Although he had already guessed that Lin Yao's strength far exceeded that of ordinary Dou Zun, he was still deeply shocked to hear the words "comparable to Dou Sheng". Dou Sheng was an existence that stood at the top of the Dou Qi Continent, a legendary supreme powerhouse who could turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand and decide the life and death of countless people with a single thought.

And this young man in front of me actually possesses strength comparable to a Dou Sheng?

"Good...good!" Su Qian snapped out of his daze, his eyes filled with satisfaction. "I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Canaan Academy producing someone like you is truly a blessing from our ancestors!"

He was excited for a moment, then gradually calmed down, his expression becoming solemn: "However, Lin Yao, I still have to remind you. Although you possess strength comparable to a Dou Sheng, you still need to be cautious in your actions when facing the top forces in Zhongzhou that truly stand at the pinnacle of the continent."

"Oh?" Lin Yao raised an eyebrow, showing an expression of being all ears.

Su Qian sighed, gazing into the distance as if recalling something from long ago: "You should know about the founder of Canaan Academy, Dean Mang."

Lin Yao nodded. The founder of Canaan Academy was surnamed Mang, a legendary figure who single-handedly established the academy and cultivated countless powerful individuals for the entire Northwest Continent.

Dean Mang actually comes from an extremely ancient family. Su Qian's voice lowered, "That family truly stands at the pinnacle of the continent, with countless powerful figures and unfathomable depths. Although Dean Mang is a member of that family, his ranking within the family... is only in the lower middle."

He turned to Lin Yao, his tone solemn: "Families like that are born with resources that ordinary people can only dream of. They possess the complete inheritance of Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills. Dou Zun are as common as dogs in their clans, and only Dou Sheng can barely be considered strong. Dean Mang was able to easily sweep through the Black Corner Region and establish Canaan Academy, relying not only on his own strength but also on the support of his family's rich heritage."

Su Qian paused, then earnestly advised, "So what I want to say is that although you have exceptional talent, the Central Continent is a deep and complex place. The ancient eight clans, the Pill Tower, the Soul Palace... which of these forces doesn't have an old monster at the Dou Sheng level backing them up? Although you are young now, you have a long road ahead of you. Acting cautiously and developing in a low-key manner is the right path."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao was not disappointed at all; instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After a moment, a composed smile appeared on his lips: "Elder, rest assured, I understand everything you've said. However…"

He paused, his tone now brimming with an air of undisguised confidence: "The further we go, the greater my advantage will become. I haven't fully explored the power of the Star Palace yet. Now I can rival a Dou Sheng, and in the future I will be able to suppress Dou Sheng, and even go further, becoming the true pinnacle of existence on this continent. At that time, I will be able to easily suppress all demons and monsters."

He looked at Su Qian, his expression calm yet firm: "So, there's no rush."

Su Qian stared at him blankly for a long while, then nodded deeply: "Alright! Since you have this confidence, then I won't say any more. Just go ahead and do it. I will fully cooperate with Canaan Academy."

"Thank you, Elder."

"From today onwards, the academy will increase its cooperation with your various arrangements," Su Qian continued. "Didn't you want to integrate the Black Corner Region and even the entire Northwest Continent? I will call upon the academy's resources to provide you with intelligence and logistical support, ensuring that your plans are implemented one by one."

Lin Yao looked at Su Qian with some surprise: "Elder, aren't you afraid that I'll drag the academy into danger?"

Su Qian laughed heartily: "Afraid? What's there to be afraid of? A peerless genius comparable to a Dou Sheng powerhouse, as long as he doesn't attract the attention of those old monsters and has enough time to grow, everything will be fine. I've lived most of my life, and the one thing I understand best is—invest early. If I don't fully support you now, am I supposed to wait until you become a Dou Sheng before adding icing on the cake?"

As he said this, he suddenly sighed with some emotion: "Actually, when I followed Dean Mang to establish Canaan Academy, I always had a grand wish in my heart—to ensure that everyone on the entire Dou Qi Continent had access to education and the opportunity to change their own destiny."

Su Qian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze distant: "Look at this Dou Qi Continent. The eight ancient clans possess Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills, but they cherish them and only pass them on to their blood relatives. Those large families and sects, if they want to obtain these inheritances, they have to risk their lives, even become dogs, and what they beg on their knees may not even be genuine. But Canaan Academy, from Yellow-rank to Earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills, keeps them all in the Scripture Pavilion, treating all students equally. Those geniuses from common backgrounds, limited by their own conditions, have the opportunity to change their destiny as long as they work hard enough."

Lin Yao listened quietly, his respect for the old man growing stronger. He knew Su Qian's words were not untrue. In the original story, Canaan Academy was a crucial supply station for Xiao Yan after he passed through the Jia Ma Empire, his "newbie village," providing him with abundant cultivation resources and room for growth. This academy was completely different from Shrek Academy in Douluo Continent, which exploited its students; it truly offered a path to strength for young people without background or resources.

"The Grand Elder's wish may not be impossible to fulfill," Lin Yao said slowly. "Once I have completed the integration of the Northwest Continent, I will establish a more comprehensive training system with Canaan Academy at its core. In the future, perhaps the vision of everyone having access to education can truly be realized."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Su Qian's eyes. He smiled and patted Lin Yao's shoulder, saying, "With your words, I am relieved. Go, cultivate diligently. The future belongs to you young people."

That evening, in Lin Yao's courtyard.

The candlelight flickered in the room. Lin Yao sat cross-legged on a futon, a ball of pale blue light floating before him. It was the soul of the Heavenly Fire Venerable, now appearing extremely ethereal, as if a gust of wind could disperse it.

"Senior Tianhuo, you have been dead for many years, and your soul is extremely fragile." Lin Yao took out a medicinal herb that emitted a soft light from his storage ring. "If we don't stabilize your soul first, let alone rebuild your physical body, I'm afraid that after a while, you will completely dissipate into the world."

The Heavenly Fire Venerable's soul body rippled slightly, letting out a sigh: "How could I not know? It's just that for so many years, I haven't even had the ability to leave that barrier, let alone find something to nourish my soul."

Lin Yao didn't say anything more, but began to refine the Soul Nourishing Saliva.

He took out a jade bowl, placed the Soul-Nourishing Grass into it, and used his strange fire to refine it into a ball of emerald green liquid. Then, he closed his eyes, and his soul power surged out like a tide, merging with the emerald green liquid.

At the same time, he channeled the power of the stars within his body, connecting with the starry sky deep within the heavens. A ray of invisible starlight pierced through the roof, falling into the jade bowl and merging with the liquid. Ripples spread across the liquid, like the shimmering surface of a lake under the night sky.

Lin Yao's spiritual power was extremely vast and, nurtured by the power of the stars, was incomparably pure. Using his own spiritual power as the framework, supplemented by the essence of the Soul-Nourishing Grass and the nourishment of the star power, he gradually condensed the liquid into a crystal-clear saliva. The saliva flowed quietly in the jade bowl, emitting a delicate fragrance. Just smelling that fragrance was enough to refresh the mind and invigorate the spirit.

"It's done." Lin Yao opened his eyes and handed the jade bowl to Venerable Heavenly Fire. "Senior, please consume it."

Venerable Heavenly Fire gazed at the bowl of saliva, his soul trembling slightly. He carefully absorbed a wisp of the saliva, and immediately felt a cool and gentle power surge into his soul, as if parched land had encountered sweet rain. His originally ethereal and almost transparent soul visibly solidified a bit.

"This...this..." Venerable Heavenly Fire was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"This is only the initial stabilization." Lin Yao smiled slightly. "Afterwards, I will use the power of the stars to nourish your soul. Once your soul has recovered to a certain extent, we can begin to prepare for the reconstruction of your physical body."

Venerable Tianhuo remained silent for a long time, then bowed deeply to Lin Yao: "Young friend Lin Yao, I am deeply grateful. From this day forward, my life belongs to you."

"You flatter me, senior." Lin Yao helped him up. "It's fate that we met, and it's only right that we help each other."

Watching the gradually solidifying soul of Venerable Heavenly Fire, Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan stood aside, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Brother Yao, you just went out and found a Dou Zun soul body?" Zi Yan stood with her hands on her hips, looking incredulous. "You're amazing! Tell us how it happened!"

Helpless, Lin Yao could only recount his encounter with the remnant soul of the Heavenly Fire Venerable deep within the magma layer. When they heard that the Heavenly Fire Venerable had died from the backlash of the conflict between the two strange flames, both Zi Yan and Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but sigh.

"Even a Dou Zun expert can't withstand the backlash of a strange fire..." Little Fairy Doctor's gaze towards Lin Yao held a hint of complexity. "Brother Yao, how exactly did you manage to contain three strange fires at the same time?"

Lin Yao thought for a moment, then raised his right hand. In his palm, a cyan flame and a blue flame shone brightly, while between them, a crimson flame nestled like a well-behaved child. The three strange flames emitted different auras, yet coexisted harmoniously in his palm.

"The Burning Technique's absorption method is to devour and fuse, ultimately fusing all the different flames into one," Lin Yao explained. "Although this method can obtain power far exceeding that of the same level, the characteristics of each different flame will be erased, leaving only a new, mixed flame in the end."

"But I use a different method." The three strange flames in his palm flickered gently. "I don't devour them, but treat them as family members, building a home within my body to accommodate them. They can retain their individual characteristics—the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame triggers the terrifying explosive power of the earth's crust, the Sea Core Flame possesses the vast power from the ocean, and the Fallen Heart Flame has the effect of tempering the soul and nurturing spirituality."

He paused, then added, "To give an analogy, the Burning Blade Technique is one plus one plus one equals more than three, while my method has barely managed to achieve one plus one plus one equals more than four. In terms of power, it can already squeeze into the top ten of the Strange Fire Ranking, but more importantly, these Strange Fires still retain their own characteristics and intelligence. All things in heaven and earth have spirits, and Strange Fires are the spirits of heaven and earth on the Dou Qi Continent. Although they possess intelligence, it is extremely difficult for them to develop complete intelligence because they are too powerful. But if they really did develop it..."

At this point, Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan completely understood.

"You can contain them with your body, without needing to absorb their spirits, and you can even keep them sentient..." Little Fairy Doctor murmured, "Doesn't that mean you're even more terrifying than the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, who devoured all the strange flames back then?"

Lin Yao smiled, neither confirming nor denying: "The Tuoshegudi were eaten one by one. I just provided them with a home and let them voluntarily settle down."

Although Zi Yan only half understood, she still gave a thumbs up: "Anyway, it's amazing! Yao-ge is the best!"

The three of them smiled at each other, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Lin Yao didn't have any free time in the following days.

The three strange flames within his body coordinated with increasing skill. Under the harmonization of the power of the stars, the three flames formed a perfect cycle within his body. The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was responsible for tempering his physical body, the Sea Core Flame for nourishing his meridians, and the Fallen Heart Flame for tempering his soul. Each of the three performed its own function while cooperating with each other, making Lin Yao's body grow stronger every day in a subtle and gradual way.

With stronger support, Lin Yao once again began to gain deeper control over Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body.

Compared to the superficial guidance he received in the Izumo Empire last time, this time it was much more in-depth. Lin Yao combined the power of the stars with the power of the three strange flames to form a brand new energy, which he carefully infiltrated into Little Fairy Doctor's meridians. This energy was gentle yet powerful, like gentle rain nourishing parched earth, peeling away, purifying, and transforming the violent toxic power within the Calamity Poison Body layer by layer.

Little Fairy Doctor sat cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. Dark green lines appeared on her body, signs of the Calamity Poison Body circulating. However, these lines were much dimmer than before, no longer radiating that chillingly fierce aura, but instead carrying a gentle vitality.

Lin Yao sat behind her, his hands pressed against her back, meticulously channeling his stellar energy. His expression was focused and calm, as if he were doing something extremely ordinary.

The method of condensing poison pills is ultimately flawed. Lin Yao wasn't unaware of the method for condensing poison pills in the original story, but he wanted to find a more perfect and permanent solution for Little Fairy Doctor. In his view, while the method of condensing poison pills could temporarily suppress the hidden dangers of the Calamity Poison Body, it wasn't a long-term solution. The essence of the Calamity Poison Body is an extreme form of poison power. To truly solve this problem, either this power must be completely eliminated, or it must be completely controlled.

Lin Yao chose the latter.

He wanted to help Little Fairy Doctor transform the Calamity Poison Body from a passive, ever-present threat into an active force completely under her control.

This process was long and meticulous, but Lin Yao had enough patience and methods. Nourished by the power of the stars and the three different flames, the Calamity Poison Body within Little Fairy Doctor's body was being "tamed" little by little—the violent toxic power was being organized into an orderly energy flow, and the original source of the poison body, which was like a time bomb, was gradually being transformed into a source of power that Little Fairy Doctor could actively call upon.

As Lin Yao withdrew his hands, Little Fairy Doctor slowly opened her eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. She sensed the changes within her body, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"I feel... my strength has improved quite a bit again." She stretched out her palm, and a ball of emerald green poisonous mist condensed in her palm. Under her control, the poisonous mist constantly changed shape, sometimes transforming into a sharp sword, sometimes into a shield, as agile as a living thing.

"It's not just about increasing strength." Lin Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone filled with joy. "Take a good look at it; isn't that cloud of poisonous mist easier to control than before?"

Little Fairy Doctor closed her eyes, carefully sensed it, and her surprise became even more obvious: "That's right! Before, when I controlled the poisonous mist, I always felt like I was riding a wild horse, and it took a lot of mental effort to suppress it. But now... it's as if that horse has recognized me as its master. I only need to have a thought, and it will obediently follow my orders."

"This is a sign that the Calamity Poison Body has been completely tamed," Lin Yao said. "Once you have fully stabilized this state, you will no longer need to worry about the poison body erupting. At that time, the Calamity Poison Body will not be a threat to you, but a unique talent."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Brother Yao... thank you."

"Do we need to thank each other?" Lin Yao smiled and gently took her hand. Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't pull away.

Seeing this, Zi Yan couldn't help but let out an exaggerated hiss: "Oh my, they're getting all lovey-dovey again! Yao-ge, you're so biased! You're only focusing on improving Little Fairy Doctor's strength, and you're ignoring me!"

Lin Yao glared at her, annoyed. "How could I forget you? I've already prepared some good stuff for you."

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his storage ring, uncorked it, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out. He poured out several round pills, each one a blend of crimson, blue, and gold, shimmering with a faint luster, like exquisite works of art.

"This is a pill I made using the power of three different flames as the main ingredient, along with some medicinal herbs." Lin Yao handed the pill to Zi Yan. "The Three-Colored Different Flame Pill can enhance your bloodline power and temper your physical body. Moreover, it tastes quite good."

Zi Yan, who had been feigning modesty, suddenly brightened up upon hearing the last sentence, grabbed a pill, and popped it into her mouth: "Let me try it!"

As soon as the pill entered her mouth, Zi Yan's eyes lit up.

"Mmm! Delicious!" she mumbled, her face beaming with happiness. "Brother Yao, this pill tastes amazing! It's sweet and has a fruity aroma, a million times better than those awful cultivation pills!"

She chewed and swallowed, and immediately, a surge of hot energy welled up from her abdomen, flowing like a warm current through her limbs and bones. Zi Yan let out a burp, exhaling a wisp of smoke. She stared blankly down at her body, feeling a warm, indescribable comfort throughout.

"This pill...it's quite filling." Zi Yan rubbed her stomach and yawned. "I feel so sleepy, like I'm about to fall asleep."

"That's the energy being digested; your body needs to absorb it slowly." Lin Yao smiled and carried her to a soft couch nearby. "Take a nap first. When you wake up, that power will be completely yours. Remember, you can only take one a day. Taking too many won't be digested and will only waste the medicinal power."

Zi Yan nodded drowsily, and a moment later, even breathing filled the air—she had fallen into a deep sleep, a contented smile on her small face. Within her body, the power of the Three-Colored Flame Pill flowed slowly, like a gentle stream, tenderly tempering her young body.

Lin Yao tucked her in, then got up and left the room. The night breeze was cool, and starlight spilled into the courtyard; everything was quiet and beautiful.

He looked up at the sky, his gaze distant.

Along the way, his strength, partners, and business have all steadily increased. What remains is to continue moving forward, gradually unfolding his plans until he has the entire continent under his control.
