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

At the summit of Danta Mountain, there is a natural plaza surrounded by thick clouds, which resemble cotton, giving one the urge to walk on them.

This square, which is usually deserted, is now filled with people, most of whom are white-haired and look extremely old.

Anyone from here, if placed in the Central Plains, would attract a great deal of attention and admiration. If a sect could have an alchemist of this caliber, the benefits to them would be immense.

As the sparse crowd in the square gradually gathered, Xiao Jue, led by Xuan Yi, also stepped onto the square.

As soon as Xuan Yi appeared, a lot of people gathered around, greeting him with smiles.

Among them were Xuan Kongzi, the former president of the Pill Tower Elders' Council, and Tian Leizi, who had accompanied him. The two, along with Xuan Yi, were known as the three giants of the Pill Tower.

After Xuan Yi broke through to the Dou Sheng level, she became the president of the Elder Council. Later, with the destruction of the Soul Clan and the Soul Palace, only the Tower Master remained as the highest position in the Pill Tower.

People like Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi, as well as those elders who used to be in the Lesser Pill Tower, have now become the Supreme Elders of the Pill Tower, a nominal position similar to that of a revered elder.

Furthermore, unlike before, there are no more rules inside the Pill Tower. Now there is only one requirement: whoever has the stronger alchemist has the final say.

Xuan Yi is one of the few ninth-grade alchemists in the Pill Tower. She has the highest success rate in refining ninth-grade precious pills. In addition, she is the youngest and has Xiao Jue as her disciple, so she naturally became the tower master of the Pill Tower.

Xiao Jue greeted them briefly, then stood obediently beside the teacher. If the teacher didn't have his milk inside her, she would truly be a good child.

However, the milk was also Xuan Yi's request, which means Xiao Jue is still a good boy, as Xuan Yi personally certified.

As the brilliant and warm sunlight tore through the layers of clouds and shone upon the mountaintop, a melodious, ancient chime slowly resounded throughout the space.

As the bell rang, the space on the mountaintop suddenly distorted slightly, and then seven aged figures appeared without warning on a stone platform in the plaza.

Upon seeing the seven elders, many people in the square bowed and respectfully said, "Greetings, Supreme Elders!"

In the former Little Pill Tower, the Grand Elder Council was the highest decision-making body, and these elders naturally held extremely high positions.

Moreover, most of them were selected from the Little Pill Tower and were highly respected individuals. Therefore, the people in the Little Pill Tower had considerable faith in their words.

Furthermore, the former Grand Elder Council still has three elders, who were the three giants of the Pill Tower. However, there is no Grand Elder Council now, only the Tower Master and nine Supreme Elders.

Xiao Jue's gaze also fell upon the seven elders, his eyes slowly sweeping over them before finally settling on the four in the center.

Among these seven people, the auras of these four people were particularly strong, especially the old man in the middle who was dressed in linen clothes and had a calm and composed expression.

That old man in hemp robes was the former Grand Elder of the Little Pill Tower. He was the most senior person in the Pill Tower now, apart from the Pill Tower Ancestor.

As Xiao Jue gazed at the old man in hemp clothing, the latter seemed to sense it as well, casting a pair of deep, star-like eyes at Xiao Jue.

Immediately, a flicker of emotion crossed those eyes, clearly indicating that they hadn't been able to discern Xiao Jue's true strength.

Although his soul power was only at the late stage of the Heavenly Realm, he could still see the soul power of someone at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm. However, in his perception, Xiao Jue was just like an ordinary person.

When they last met, Xiao Jue and Long Yan joined forces to kill two late-stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng experts, and he was able to sense Xiao Jue's approximate strength.

Xiao Jue's brows twitched slightly, and the Grand Elder immediately felt an invisible force pressing down on the surrounding space, causing his expression to change.

This kind of oppression is imperceptible to others; only the person directly involved can clearly feel it.

"This is... a soul at the Emperor Realm!"

The Grand Elder nodded to Xiao Jue and then said, "All the alchemists of the seventh rank and above from the Pill Tower are here today, so I won't waste any more time on small talk."

"After the Soul Palace was destroyed, the Lesser Pill Tower and the Pill Tower merged, and this became the new Pill Realm, which is the small world belonging to the Pill Tower."

"Within the Pill Tower, skill in alchemy determines superiority. Now, Xiao Jue, the disciple of the Xuan Yi Tower Master, has arrived to inherit the position of Tower Master. Is there anyone who wishes to challenge him?"

All eyes turned to Xiao Jue. When they arrived at the Little Pill Tower, Xuan Yi had used his mental power to notify the Grand Elder, which led to the current scene.

Xiao Jue glanced sideways at Xuan Yi's lower abdomen. What a greedy woman! He had already given her an heir to the Pill Tower, but now she wanted him to become the tower master himself.

"We naturally acknowledge the strength of the Yin-Yang Saint, but the Dan Tower is a contest of alchemy skills. We don't know how much of the alchemy skills he inherited from President Xuan Yi."

A slightly discordant voice suddenly rang out, and the crowd parted to make way for a rather thin old man in a gray robe who slowly walked in.

Xuan Kongzi frowned and said, "Old Monster Hou, stop causing trouble here."

Xiao Jue turned his gaze to the gray-robed old man. The latter's physique was somewhat in line with the homonym of his surname. His aged face looked quite rigid, like that of a dead man.

Xuan Yi chuckled and said, "This old guy is probably not targeting me, but Yao Chen, since you learned your alchemy skills from him."

"That old bastard Yao Chen came to the Pill Tower before and spread the word that he taught my disciple alchemy, and that it would definitely be the strongest alchemy technique in the Dou Qi Continent in the future."

"That guy and Yao Chen have never gotten along. He has always been trying his best to surpass Yao Chen, but he has never succeeded in doing so. This has become a thorn in his side."

"So you've come here to cause me trouble?"

Xiao Jue chuckled. He really hadn't expected that anyone would dare to cause him trouble.

"Very well, today I will give them some pointers on alchemy."

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Jue conjured a ball of black and white flames that transformed into a massive fire cauldron.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of green flame appeared in the cauldron, containing a seed. As the life force of the Flame of Life continuously poured into it, it quickly transformed into medicinal herbs.

"Power of heaven and earth, heed my command!"

In an instant, the energy of heaven and earth surged violently, and a fierce wind arose. The old men who had been watching, disregarding the scene of the ninth-grade profound pill being refined, rushed back to protect their own medicinal fields. (End of this chapter)
