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

Chapter 186 Fiancée Hime

Xiao Jue said, "However, there is another way that might help Long Yan improve his strength."

"What can we do?!"

The two of them looked over at the same time, staring at Xiao Jue.

"Thunder Tribulation Pill!"

Xiao Jue looked at the eight sub-flames in front of him. Their energy was only comparable to that of a one-star Dou Zong, but they contained about one-tenth of the original essence of a true strange fire.

"After I devour these eight sub-fires, Long Yan's strength will be able to rise to the early stage of a four-star Dou Sheng. After he devours six drops of the essence blood of the Yellow Spring Demon Saint, his strength will probably rise to the middle stage of a four-star Dou Sheng."

"The Thunder Clan has a Demon Thunder Pool, and the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void also has a Void Thunder Pool next to its Ancient Dragon Island. At that time, we might be able to use a large amount of Black Demon Thunder to try to refine a Thunder Tribulation Pill of the ninth grade treasure level, or even refine the quality of the Thunder Tribulation Pill to be close to that of a ninth grade Profound Pill. After Long Yan takes it, he can become a five-star Dou Sheng."

"As for raising soul power to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, I have no other way but to absorb the soul's essence."

A single bolt of Black Demon Lightning can be used to refine an eighth-grade Thunder Tribulation Pill of Nine-Colored Pill Lightning. If there is enough Black Demon Lightning, it can be used to refine a ninth-grade Treasure Pill of Thunder Tribulation, or even approach the ninth-grade Profound Pill.

"Let's give it a shot!" Lei Ying suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "The Soul Clan's actions have become increasingly strange over the years, but Gu Yuan hasn't reacted much. Even when Soul Emperor was severely injured by Xiao Xuan's self-destruction, he didn't make any move. Moreover, the Soul Clan's bloodline power has never been exhausted after all these years."

"The Soul Clan has produced two divine-grade bloodlines in this generation, Soul Wind and Soul Jade. They've already revealed this information so early. I wonder if the Soul Clan isn't afraid of their premature death, or if they're setting a trap to get us to take action."

Yan Jin nodded and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, Gu Yuan is no match for the Soul Emperor. Moreover, so much time has passed since the Xiao Clan was destroyed. The Soul Emperor has probably recovered from his injuries by now. He might try to seize the Ancient Jade Fragment in order to break through to the Dou Di realm."

"Gu Yuan wants to be the one to reap the benefits, but the Soul Clan is still too mysterious," Lei Ying said. "Why not destroy the Soul Palace and steal all of its soul essence? Then, even if the Soul Emperor wants to cause us trouble, Gu Yuan won't stand by and watch the Soul Emperor destroy both of our clans."

"Gu Yuan wants to see our five races and the Soul Emperor both suffer heavy losses. If the Soul Emperor is to make a move, he will definitely deal with the Ancient Race last, and the Spirit Race should be the first to be dealt with. Unless Gu Yuan wants to cooperate with the Soul Emperor, he cannot sit idly by and watch the Soul Emperor attack our two races."

Yan Jin nodded. "As long as it's kept secret enough, they won't know Long Yan's identity. Once Long Yan refines the ninth-grade Xuan Dan, we won't have to worry anymore."

Lei Ying and Yan Jin looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "What are your thoughts? Destroying the Soul Palace would be tantamount to breaking ties with the Soul Clan without leaving any room for compromise. However, Long Yan's soul power has at least reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, and there's even hope of breaking through to the Emperor Realm."

"Let's wait a little longer." Xiao Jue took a deep breath and said, "After I become the master of the Pill Tower, I will lead the Pill Tower to destroy the Soul Palace. As long as it's not the eight ancient clans that take action, the Soul Emperor and the Soul Clan probably won't personally get involved."

"Besides Soul Extinction, the Soul Palace only has a few Dou Sheng. Long Yan became a five-star Dou Sheng and destroyed the Soul Palace in the name of the Pill Tower. As long as Gu Yuan doesn't want to see the Pill Tower's ancestor fall into the hands of the Soul Emperor, he won't let the Soul Emperor take action against the Pill Tower."

"Moreover, given my potential, the longer this drags on, the more advantageous it will be for us."

"Very well." Yan Jin let out a long breath and sighed, "After waiting for so many years, I really can't wait any longer."

"There are less than ten years left." Lei Ying patted Yan Jin on the shoulder and laughed, "Xiao Jue's potential is greater than yours and mine. When he grows up, it will be our turn to snatch the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan."

"You stay here and keep Xiao Jue company." Yan Jin glanced at Huo Zhi and said to Xiao Jue, "After Huo Zhi breaks through to Dou Zun, you and she should come to the Yan Clan and help Huo Zhi devour the Red Lotus Karmic Flame."

"Okay." Xiao Jue and Huo Zhi nodded together.

"Where is Long Yan?" Lei Ying asked. "Is he going to the Lei Clan with me now, or is he going to the Void Thunder Pool next to Ancient Dragon Island by himself?"

"Let's wait a while," Xiao Jue said. "At most a year, I'll send Long Yan to the Thunder Clan."

Xiao Jue then looked at Yan Jin, "In the storage ring that my father-in-law Lei Ying gave me, there are fifty portions of the ingredients for the Nine Tribulations Demonic Thunder Pill. Refining them can also enhance the overall strength of the Lei Clan."

"Does the Yan Clan have any similar pills that can enhance their strength?"

"With Long Yan's current strength, it would only take him half a day to refine an eighth-grade pill for Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, and three days to refine a ninth-grade treasure pill."

Yan Jin chuckled and said, "The medicinal herbs and pill formulas of the Yan Clan are all in your storage ring. In addition to the pile of medicinal herbs for refining ninth-grade pills, there are also more than a hundred portions of medicinal herbs for Nine Revolutions Qiankun Pill, Nine Revolutions Phoenix Spirit Pill, Divine Aperture Pill, Flame Demon Pure Profound Pill, and Nine Heavens Flame God Pill."

Lei Ying curled his lip. At least the Yan Clan had fire-attribute battle qi, and if they were lucky, they could produce a few alchemists with a trace of wood-attribute battle qi. But the Lei Clan had lightning-attribute battle qi, and the quantity of medicinal herbs and pill formulas was incomparable to that of the Yan Clan.

"Then we'll be going now."

Lei Ying and Yan Jin left together, and Xiao Jue also used his soul power to scan the red storage ring that Yan Jin had given him, leaving a soul imprint on it.

Inside were mountains of medicinal herbs, hundreds of pill formulas, a wisp of soul essence, and a space jade slip made by Yan Jin.

Xiao Jue took the storage ring from Long Yan, moved most of the medicinal herbs into it, and then handed the ring back to Long Yan. Long Yan could then go to the Lei Clan and Yan Clan to refine pills.

Huo Zhirou, standing to the side, said softly, "I heard that Lei Xi, the daughter of the Lei Clan Chief, asked you for a Grade Nine Precious Pill as a betrothal gift. Can I also make a request?"

Xiao Jue turned to look at Huo Zhi and said, "Of course, but only if you take off your veil."

Huo Zhi raised her hand and removed her veil, revealing her face. As the woman Yan Jin had chosen for Xiao Jue, her appearance was naturally quite good.

With bright eyes and white teeth, skin as smooth as jade, and lips as red as cinnabar, her bare face was far more beautiful than any heavy makeup. She looked as fresh and lovely as the morning dew in spring, with a flame mark between her eyebrows.

"So?" Huo Zhiqian asked with a smile, "Can I state my conditions now?"

"Of course." Xiao Jue smiled slightly, and very impolitely reached out to stroke Huo Zhi's soft cheek.

The woman did not stop Xiao Jue, but said slowly, "I want a ninth-grade treasure pill called the Fire Emperor Divine Blood Pill. The pill formula and medicinal materials are in the storage ring that Chief Yan Jin gave you."

"This is a pill left behind by the Fire Emperor, the ancestor of the Yan Clan. It has a chance to enhance the Dou Di bloodline of the Yan Clan's descendants."
