Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

Seeing Xiao Yao start eating, Xun'er smelled the aroma and took a bite of the roasted meat. The delicious juices spread in her mouth, spicy but not greasy, making her exclaim in admiration.

"Wow, this meat is delicious! Brother Xiao Yao's cooking skills are truly superb. Did Brother Xiao Yao make all of this himself?"

After hearing Xun'er's praise, Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He smiled and said, "Girl, of course. Your brother Xiao Yao spent a long time figuring out the properties of the medicinal herbs before he extracted this special product to make hot pot and barbecue even more delicious."

After Xiao Yao and his companion finished eating the roasted meat, they took out new meat, cut it into pieces, skewered it with forks, and placed it on the grill to continue roasting. They also took out mushrooms, skewered them, and placed them on the grill to roast as well.

At this moment, Xiao Yan arrived at the gate of Xiao Yao's courtyard, intending to ask if the pills had been successfully refined. As soon as he reached the gate, he smelled the long-lost aroma of barbecue and was overjoyed. He quickly knocked on the door and called out, "Brother Yao, open the door quickly and let me in."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Xiao Yao smiled and looked at Xun'er, saying, "Girl, go open the door and let Xiao Yan in."

Xun'er picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, saying, "Hmph, don't treat me like a servant. I'll be magnanimous and open the door for you because of the delicious food."

Xun'er got up and walked towards the gate. After opening the gate, Xiao Yan hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

"Hey, Xiao Yanzi, what a coincidence, you're here too," Xiao Yao said with a smile.

Xiao Yan walked into the courtyard and saw Xiao Yao busy by the grill. The aroma was so enticing that he couldn't help but swallow.

"Brother Yao, did you bake this? It smells amazing!" Xiao Yan exclaimed.

Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the meat and mushroom skewers on the grill, saying, "These are freshly grilled game meat and mushrooms. Try them and see what you think."

Xiao Yan took the meat and mushroom skewers from Xiao Yao, took a bite, and the delicious flavor immediately spread in his mouth, making him exclaim in surprise.

"Wow, this is so delicious! Brother Yao, your cooking skills are getting better and better!" Xiao Yan praised.

Upon seeing this, Xun'er pouted and whispered, "Brother Xiao Yao, what about mine?"

Seeing Xun'er's face, which looked like she was about to cry if he didn't comfort her, Brother Xiao Yao laughed and said, "How could I forget you, Xun'er? Come, come, all of this is for you."

Xiao Yao quickly picked up the forks and placed the food on Xun'er's plate, saying with a doting expression, "If it's not enough, just say so. Brother Xiao Yao will definitely make sure you eat your fill."

Xiao Yao turned to Xiao Yan and said with a smile, "By the way, Xiao Yan, what brings you here?"

Xiao Yan snapped out of his reverie and remembered that he had originally come to inquire about the pills. He quickly said, "Oh, right, Brother Yao, I came to ask if the pills you were refining before have been completed."

Xiao Yao nodded after hearing Xiao Yan's words, and took out the refined pills from his storage ring and handed them to Xiao Yan.

"This is the pill you wanted to break through to the Dou Zhe level. It's a fourth-grade Qi Gathering Pill. Remember to keep it a secret. If anyone else finds out, hehe, don't ask me to refine pills for you again." Xiao Yao said with a wicked smile.

Xiao Yan took the pill and examined it carefully. He found that the quality of the pill was very good, and he couldn't help but admire Xiao Yao's alchemy skills even more.

"Brother Yao, your alchemy skills are getting more and more exquisite. You can actually refine fourth-grade pills. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret. I won't even tell Father." Xiao Yan said with a happy expression.

Xiao Yao smiled but didn't respond, turning back to continue grilling the meat. At this moment, Xun'er stuck out her little tongue and asked Xiao Yao, "Brother Xiao Yao, do you have anything to drink? Xun'er is about to cry from the spiciness."

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yao quickly checked the supermarket list in his mind, took out a bottle of chilled cola and orange juice, and then took out a clean bowl to pour Xun'er a bowl of cold orange juice.

"Xun'er, come on, have some of this to cool down the spiciness," Xiao Yao said gently, handing the orange juice to Xun'er.

Xun'er took the orange juice and drank it down in one gulp, immediately feeling the burning sensation in her throat subside considerably. She looked at Xiao Yao, her eyes sparkling with gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Xiao Yao," she said softly.

Looking at Xun'er, Xiao Yao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled and replied, "If Xun'er isn't satisfied, she can have more. There's cola here too." His voice was gentle and kind, like a spring breeze caressing one's cheek, making one feel incredibly comfortable.

Xun'er blushed slightly upon hearing Xiao Yao's words. She shook her head and said softly, "No need, Brother Xiao Yao, I'm much better now."

Seeing their affectionate display, Xiao Yan said helplessly, "Brother Yao, I'd like a drink too, just a bowl of cola will do."

Xiao Yan picked up the bowl and drank, a question forming in his mind. This was clearly the same as the cola he had drunk on Blue Star in his previous life. Could it be that Brother Yao was also on Blue Star in his previous life, just like him, and was reincarnated into this world together? It seems he should find some time to ask him later.

As night fell, the bright moonlight spilled into the courtyard. The three of them sat there, continuing to eat their barbecue and drink their beverages, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. Their figures intertwined in the moonlight, creating a beautiful picture.

Xun'er was looking at the dazzling starry sky in the courtyard when she suddenly thought of something. With a smile on her face, she said, "Brother Xiao Yao, I'm so bored. Why don't you tell us a story? Or how about the three of us take turns performing a talent?"

Seeing Xun'er blinking her big eyes with an expectant look, Xiao Yao could only cover his forehead and say, "Alright, then I'll tell you a story first, but don't take it seriously."

"Tonight I will tell you how a strongman is born. He proves himself in the name of the Wilderness, conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, breaking through the Immortal Ancient, ascending to the Nine Heavens, guarding the Imperial Pass, entering the Immortal Realm, entering the Burial Ground, stepping on the Immortal Realm, destroying the alien realm, leveling the World Sea, and standing alone for all ages with his back to all living beings."

The Desolate Emperor, originally named Shi Hao, possessed unparalleled talent throughout the ages. Born to cultivate the Dao and destined for tribulation, his life was exceptionally brilliant, creating countless legends. He once created the unique cultivation system of "Covering the Sky," which was used by later generations. He once swept across the alien realms alone, becoming invincible and causing no one in the world to dare to claim supremacy. He once single-handedly suppressed four Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors to quell the Great Dark Turmoil. He once single-handedly cleaved through the ages with a single sword, creating a perfect world. His life was lonely and tragic, yet invincible and brilliant, truly a glorious achievement that shone through the ages. Countless eras later, he was revered by later generations as "that one."

After countless years, perhaps there will be someone who stands alone on the river of time, looking back on eternity, accompanied only by the divine path.

Xiao Yao cleared his throat and began to describe the story in a deep, resonant voice. He spoke softly, "Legend has it that in an ancient stone village nestled in the Cangmang Mountains, a little boy cultivated in the wilderness, and the story begins here..."

Xun'er rested her chin on her hands, gazing intently at Xiao Yao as she listened to his story.

As Xun'er listened to Xiao Yao's narration, she felt as if she had been transported into that ancient and mysterious world. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and longing, as if she wanted to personally experience the hardships and glory of that little boy's cultivation in the Great Wilderness.

While enjoying the delicious roasted meat, Xiao Yan listened to Xiao Yao's story. His eyes revealed a deep respect and admiration, as if he were filled with reverence and longing for the little boy's path of cultivation.
