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

"The clan leader's grand plan is about to be realized. Why don't we let the old monster from the Pill Tower go to the center of the Soul Devouring and Life-Severing Array and voluntarily be devoured and refined by our clan leader? Our Soul Clan is not incapable of accommodating the Pill Tower."

"Your Soul Clan is truly guilty of heinous crimes."

An old figure appeared, his body trembling with every movement, giving the impression that he was nearing the end of his life.

Upon seeing that figure appear, no one spoke for a moment. After a long silence, someone finally asked Xuan Yi, "President Xuan Yi, may I ask how strong the Pill Tower Ancestor is? At such an old age..."

The old patriarch of the Pill Tower looked very old and frail, as if he was about to take his last breath, which made everyone quite worried.

Many years are still until the Demon Flame Space opens, so the Pill Tower Ancestor is not yet in the form of a cowherd.

Xuan Yi sighed and said, "This ancestor can be said to be one of the founders of the Pill Tower, and also the most senior person in the Pill Tower."

"But this ancestor likes to play around in the mortal world, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. Even though the three of us have served as leaders of the Pill Tower for many years, we have only seen him once in all these years."

"What the ancestor liked to do most was to find pregnant women. Of course, his target was not the pregnant women themselves, but the fetuses in their wombs. To be precise, it was fetuses that had lost their life before birth due to accidents."

"After finding these stillborn fetuses, he would enter the pregnant woman's body in a special way, eventually becoming an ordinary baby, being born, growing up, and living a lifetime in another identity until that body finally dies completely, at which point he would leave. In his words, this is experiencing life."

Looking at Xuan Yi's wry smile, the Fire Cloud Ancestor, who had just spoken, was completely dumbfounded and chuckled dryly, "This ancestor is truly a very unique person!"

"Furthermore, the Ancestor is not human."

Xuan Kongzi, who was standing to the side, slowly shook his head and said softly, "His true form... is a pill."

"Not human?"

Old Ancestor Huoyun's scalp tingled instantly, his lips twitched, and after a long moment, he lowered his voice and whispered, "The legendary Emperor-grade pill?"

Most pills, once exposed to the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning, gain sentience. However, these pills typically transform into beast forms, possessing sentience but unable to truly rival humans.

Some legendary ninth-grade pills can transform one into human form and even enable cultivation, but even the Fire Cloud Ancestor has only seen such things in ancient books.

"Heh, even in ancient times, Emperor-grade pills were extremely rare. How could anyone possibly be able to refine them now?"

Xuan Kongzi was not surprised by Huo Yun Lao Zu's shocked expression. When he first heard about Lao Zu's true form, he was also shocked for a long time before he came to his senses.

"The senior who refined the ancestor was also one of the founders of the Pill Tower, but that senior has long since passed away."

"In the year before his impending demise, he devoted all his energy to refining a pill. During that pill refining, this senior also exhausted his strength when the pill was completed and passed away in despair."

"However, when he perished, a wisp of his consciousness merged into that ninth-grade pill in a strange way, causing this pill, which had reached the ninth-grade profound pill level, to mutate!"

"Later, this pill took human form, but it did not leave the Pill Tower. Instead, it remained as a guardian of the Pill Tower. In a sense, this ancestor can be considered an alternative clone of that senior. However, the primary and secondary aspects of this clone are quite complex."

Xuan Kongzi smiled and said, "As time went by, the ancestor saved the Pill Tower from destruction many times. Later, his status in the Pill Tower was unmatched. However, he had no interest in these things. After the Pill Tower was stabilized, he disappeared and no one could find him."

Fire Cloud Ancestor wiped away a cold sweat. He never expected that the origin of this Pill Tower Ancestor would be so bizarre, a mutated ninth-grade Xuan Pill!

The Fire Cloud Ancestor was also clear about the classification of the ninth-grade pills. The ninth grade is divided into three levels: the ninth-grade treasure pill, the ninth-grade profound pill, and the ninth-grade golden pill. Most of the ninth-grade pills that can still appear in the world today are at the level of treasure pills.

The ninth-grade Xuan Dan is almost impossible to find now, and as for the even more distant ninth-grade Jin Dan, it probably only appeared in ancient times.

After the Ninth Grade Golden Elixir comes the legendary... Emperor Elixir.

There is probably no one on the continent today who has the ability to refine this kind of elixir.

"That senior was able to refine a ninth-grade Xuan Dan and ultimately cause it to mutate. I'm afraid that senior's strength is at least at the level of a five-star or even six-star Dou Sheng."

Thinking of this, Ancestor Huoyun couldn't help but feel shocked by the strength that the Pill Tower once possessed, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But upon closer reflection, Old Ancestor Huoyun sighed, "In that case, Hun Qianmo is no longer a reliable threat, but who will deal with the Hall Master of the Soul Palace and the Old Man of the Soul Demon?"

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time."

An exceptionally handsome blond youth appeared here, carrying a purple-gold longsword in his hand.

"Xiao Jue!"

The latest novel is first published here!

A gasp rippled through the crowd. Xiao Jue turned to look at Xuan Yi, nodded, and smiled, "Teacher, it's been a long time."

Xuan Yi nodded in surprise and asked, "Xiao Jue, your strength...?"

"He's just a mere Seven-Star Dou Sheng, but he's more than capable of dealing with Hun Qianmo."

"A Seven-Star Dou Sheng!?" Yao Lao exclaimed in surprise, staring wide-eyed at Xiao Jue. Was the Yin-Yang Technique really stronger than the Burning Technique?

Xiao Jue smiled and gestured to the acquaintances, then looked at the three Soul Clan Battle Saints in front of him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Jue said coldly, "The Soul Emperor is about to die. The three of you, go and scout ahead for him!"

"Xiao Jue? A nobody I've never heard of."

A figure appeared. As the only remaining force in Zhongzhou comparable to the Soul Palace, how could the Soul Clan not be prepared for the Pill Tower? A similar Seven-Star Dou Sheng appeared here.

The old man standing in mid-air looked at Xiao Jue with a gentle expression and said, "At such a young age, you have already achieved the strength of a seven-star Dou Sheng. Young friend, why don't you join my Soul Clan? I can promise on behalf of the clan leader to spare the Pill Tower. In the future, the Pill Tower can become a subordinate force of the Soul Clan, just like the Soul Palace."

Soul Flame, one of the Four Demon Saints of the Soul Clan, is a late-stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng expert! (End of Chapter)
