Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 117 Zi Yan

"Her true form is called the Ancient Dragon of the Void."

Xiao Jue raised his hand, and a wisp of golden flame appeared. He said, "I obtained the bloodline of the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon by chance, and the only thing that can make my bloodline fear is the Ancient Void Dragon."

"The Supreme Ancient Dragon of the Void!" Su Qian couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was a magical beast on par with the Dean's family, and was even hailed as the strongest magical beast on the Dou Qi Continent. In the past, it was even more powerful than the Dou Di family.

However, that was in the past. Su Qian had heard the Dean mention that the ancient Taixu Dragon Clan was once far more powerful than the Dou Di Clan, but after the last Dragon Emperor mysteriously disappeared, the ancient Taixu Dragon Clan disintegrated.

The Dragon Queen and many powerful members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan fled into the void, choosing to leave Ancient Dragon Island, which led to the decline of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Later, due to the loss of the Dragon Emperor and a large number of powerful individuals, three ancient dragons with collateral royal bloodlines in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan proclaimed themselves kings and split Taixu Ancient Dragon Island, while the eastern part of the island was left behind by the ancient dragons who were still loyal to the Dragon Emperor's lineage.

"Her bloodline is not even that of an ordinary ancient dragon, and as for anything more, I dare not say."

With teary eyes, Zi Yan asked, "Dean, do you know why Zi Yan was abandoned by her clan?"

"I don't know." Xiao Jue bent down and patted Zi Yan's head gently, saying softly, "But if you're willing, I can be your family."

"Really?" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Jue excitedly, stood up and hugged him, and said happily, "I have family now."

Moreover, they were not only family members, but also clansmen with the same bloodline. Although their physical forms were different, she could sense that Xiao Jue had the same bloodline as her, albeit a very weak one.

Xiao Jue held the storage ring in his hand and said with a smile, "Elder, I will send four Zongyuan Pills in half a month, as well as your wind attribute battle qi. If you can gather the ingredients for the seventh-grade pill, Divine Wind Pill, even just one portion, I can help you refine it."

Xiao Jue patted Zi Yan's head and said with a smile, "Consider this payment for the care the Grand Elder has given Zi Yan over the years."

"Thank you." Su Qian looked excited, thanking Xiao Jue not only for helping him refine the Divine Wind Pill, but also for refining four Zongyuan Pills from six portions of medicinal herbs.

"The medicinal herbs will be delivered to the Grand Elder in a month at most," Xiao Jue said with a smile, holding Zi Yan's small hand. "Zi Yan and I will be leaving now."

As they reached the door, Xiao Jue suddenly turned around and said, "There's one more thing. My soul power recently broke through to the Spirit Realm. Elder, you can go to Elders Qianbai and ask them for the ingredients for the Yuanzun Pill. Then you can help them refine it."

Su Qian was stunned and speechless as she watched Xiao Jue leave with Zi Yan.

The little purple-haired girl skipped and jumped along the way, behaving extremely happily, as Xiao Jue led her to the pavilion where he lived.

The others still hadn't returned. Xiao Jue sat on the sofa with Zi Yan and tossed her a pill.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is this a Transformation Pill?"

"The Battle Spirit Pill can help you break through to the next level as a Battle King," Xiao Jue said. "Your current strength is comparable to a two-star Battle King. After taking it, you can directly break through to the next level."

"But I still can't grow up." Zi Yan pouted, opened the jade bottle, poured the Fighting Spirit Pill into her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

Immediately afterwards, Zi Yan hurriedly used her battle qi to refine the Battle Spirit Pill. Her battle qi quickly calmed down. As expected of the Ancient Void Dragon with royal blood, she was truly extraordinary.

Zi Yan frowned and asked, "Could you help me refine a Transformation Pill so I can grow up?"

Xiao Jue patted her little head and said, "Taking Transformation Grass and Transformation Pill has the same effect. Transformation Grass is the main material for refining Transformation Pill, so it also has some of the effects of Transformation Pill. If a magical beast with the strength of Dou Huang eats it, it can freely transform into a human body. However, if it eats it before it has reached the strength level, it will remain in the transformed human form until its strength breaks through to the Dou Huang level."

"And your appearance is also due to your age. You are currently a child, so no matter what, you can't grow up. If you have the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, then even after becoming an eighth-order magical beast in the future, you may not be able to grow up."

Zi Yan immediately burst into tears and said, "Isn't that the end? It's so difficult to become an eighth-tier magical beast. Does that mean I'll have to stay a little girl for many more years?"

Xiao Jue was both amused and exasperated. He patted Zi Yan's head and asked, "What kind of cultivation technique do you practice?"

Zi Yan said, "Because I am a magical beast and do not have any battle qi attribute, I just randomly cultivated a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique without any attribute."

"Then you should practice this technique from now on." Xiao Jue handed Zi Yan a scroll with three golden characters on it.

Ancient Dragon Technique!

The Earth-Rank Advanced Technique is a cultivation method given to the members of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan after they have transformed into human form. However, under normal circumstances, a Dou Wang (Battle King) can cultivate an Earth-Rank Advanced Technique.

"You're so good to me!" Zi Yan looked at Xiao Jue with gratitude. "Do you want my essence blood? Since my original body is stronger than yours, you might be able to absorb my essence blood to evolve."

"Then let's forget about it." Xiao Jue chuckled and ruffled her hair. "You should start practicing your cultivation technique first. I'll make some pills for you later so you can improve your strength faster."

The latest novel is first published here!

Zi Yan asked curiously, "Besides taking pills, are there any other faster ways to help me break through? At this rate, I don't know how many more years it will take me to become an eighth-tier magical beast."

"It's different," Xiao Jue said with a smile. "You were only cultivating a high-level Xuan-rank technique with no attributes before. Now that you've switched to the Ancient Dragon Technique, your cultivation speed will definitely increase dramatically."

"I'll refine pills for you then, and you'll be able to break through to Dou Zun in ten years at most. If you want it to be faster, there's only another way, but you might not be willing to do so."

"What method?" Zi Yan came over and hugged Xiao Jue, looking up at him. "I'm willing to do anything as long as I can grow up quickly."

"The cultivation method I practice is quite special. It can accelerate the cultivation speed through the yin-yang balance and absorb energy beyond one's own limits to help the other party refine pills. If I take a seventh-grade pill, I can use the yin-yang balance to refine a portion of its medicinal power for you."

"With your current strength, you are not capable of refining a seventh-grade pill, but I can directly help you absorb a portion of the medicinal power of a seventh-grade pill."

Zi Yan asked疑惑地问道, "What is 'Yin and Yang in harmony'?"

"If we were to describe it using Warcraft terminology, that would be mating!"

Zi Yan was stunned. After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she nodded seriously.
