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

Chapter 88 Thanks to the Yin-Yang Saint

"Yanran!"

Yun Yun snatched the long sword from Nalan Yanran's hand, gritted her teeth, and looked at Xiao Jue. She already knew about the relationship between Xiao Jue and Nalan Yanran. Was Xiao Jue just going to watch the show like this?

"What I said three years ago, I repeat again today."

Seeing that Nalan Yanran's suicide attempt was stopped by Yun Yun, Xiao Yan smiled and his gentle voice echoed slowly across the quiet square.

"Nalan Yanran, from now on, you will have no further connection with my Xiao family. You are free... Congratulations."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is over. Now it's time to go home."

Xiao Yan looked up and smiled at the crowd in the distance, then turned around and took a few steps, pulled out the huge Xuan Heavy Ruler from the ground, casually stuck it on his back, and then, under the watchful eyes of countless people, slowly walked out of the square.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, and the somewhat lonely figure seemed much more relaxed than when he arrived.

Nalan Yanran murmured, "Is there absolutely no connection left? I'm afraid not."

She watched Xiao Jue spread his dragon wings and fly away, a smile appearing on her face. She had gained the freedom she wanted.

……

"How is it?"

Back at the Mittel family residence, Xiao Yan said smugly, "Isn't my Buddha's Fury Lotus pretty good?"

"Indeed, it's quite good." Xiao Jue put his hands in his pockets, nodded, and said, "With the Buddha's Fury Lotus, fighting beyond your level is a piece of cake. Besides, you have so many sub-flames of different flames. After you devour the sub-flames of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and the real Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, I'm afraid the power of the Buddha's Fury Lotus will be enough to kill a Dou Wang."

Xiao Zhan was standing to the side, smiling at them. Xiao Jue turned to Xiao Zhan and said, "Uncle, Xiao Yan and I won't be returning to the clan. When the time comes, you can just go back and announce that I have inherited the position of clan leader. While I'm away, you will be the acting clan leader and manage the clan affairs on my behalf."

Xiao Jue only wanted the title of Xiao family patriarch and didn't care about power. He looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "Afterwards, the Xiao family can be moved to the capital. The Mittel family, the Nalan family, the royal family, and the Yunlan Sect all owe me favors, and they will all help the Xiao family."

……

"Teacher, these are the medicinal herbs prepared by my great-grandfather."

Not long after, Xiao Jue returned to the courtyard where he had previously lived. Yao Yue was already waiting there and handed Xiao Jue a storage ring. Beside him was the aloof and proud Princess Yao Ye.

"Mr. Xiao Jue." Yao Ye bowed respectfully to Xiao Jue and said, "Yue'er and Xiao Yan tied for first place in the Alchemist Competition. My great-grandfather wanted to hold a banquet at the palace to celebrate and asked me to come and invite you."

"Let him stay put." Xiao Jue waved his hand. "In a few days, I plan to take Yao Yue away from the Jia Ma Empire. By then, with the Breakthrough Pill, he should be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm. Let him celebrate."

"You should go home first," Xiao Jue said, ruffling the little princess's hair. "I'll come to the royal family to find you when I'm ready to go to Canaan Academy."

After seeing the two princesses off, Xiao Jue took out the Yin-Yang Cauldron, and Yao Lao lent Xiao Jue his soul power so that he could begin refining the Breakthrough Pill.

Within the Jia Ma Empire, there is currently only one Dou Zong, Yun Shan. If Jia Xing Tian breaks through, the two can check and balance each other. Xiao Jue's relationship with both sides is roughly the same, so naturally he does not want them to fight each other.

In a few years, when Xiao Jue breaks through to the Dou Zong level and returns to the Jia Ma Empire, the Jia Ma Empire can expand outwards. There is no need for internal strife at this time.

Furthermore, Xiao Jue would later go to the Yunlan Sect to warn Yun Shan not to escalate the conflict with the Snake-People Clan when he sought revenge for Gu He.

Although this was Xiao Jue's first time refining the Breakthrough Pill, he had previously refined the Soul Cleansing Pill, which was no less difficult to refine than the Breakthrough Pill. Therefore, Xiao Jue did not make any mistakes in refining the Breakthrough Pill and succeeded directly under the guidance of the old doctor.

"Hehe, once you get to Canaan Academy, you'll be able to try refining seventh-grade pills." The old medicine master's mouth was practically crooked from smiling.

Xiao Jue's alchemy skills had reached their limit among sixth-grade alchemists. After breaking through to the Dou Wang realm and consuming the Seven Illusions Azure Spirit Pill, he could then use his soul power to replace his Dou Qi, which would likely allow him to refine seventh-grade pills.

"It's still thanks to Master Yao's teachings that I'm doing so well." Xiao Jue chuckled, put away the Breakthrough Pill, and then found Xiao Yan to hand him the Bone Flame Ring.

……

"How many more days are you planning to stay?" Ya Fei sat on Xiao Jue's lap, her body undulating, brushing the messy strands of hair from her forehead aside, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Xiao Jue.

"One more week." Xiao Jue placed his hands on the soft surface, his eyes slightly narrowed. It had taken him two days to refine the Breakthrough Pill, and he would have to go to the Yunlan Sect afterward.

The latest novel is first published here!

Two days later, Xiao Jue walked out of Ya Fei's room feeling refreshed. He left Ya Fei with a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills. When Ya Fei broke through to the Seven-Star Dou Shi, she could directly break through to the Three-Star Great Dou Shi with these three pills.

As for the second Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, Xiao Jue estimated that Ya Fei would definitely not be able to break through to the Dou Ling realm by the time he returned next time, so he could give it to her later.

Xiao Jue then flew to Yunlan Sect. He first found Nalan Yanran and Mo Linglin. Nalan Yanran had taken two Purple Heart Breakthrough Pills in the past few days and broke through to the Seven-Star Great Dou Master.

She made a request to Xiao Jue: "I want a Qi Gathering Pill and a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill. I plan to take the pills after I reach the Nine-Star Great Dou Master level, and then enter the Gate of Life and Death after breaking through to the Three-Star Dou Spirit level."

"Good girl." Xiao Jue stroked Nalan Yanran's hair.

Xiao Jue slowly slid his hands down and placed them on Nalan Yanran's neck, feeling the changes in Nalan Yanran's body.

……

Two more days passed. After Nalan Yanran and Mo Linglin fell into a coma, Xiao Jue left them some pills for cultivation.

Yun Yun, dressed in a simple white dress, looked at Xiao Jue with a slightly flushed face and slowly leaned down.

"Thank you, Yin Yang Saint Long Yan." Xiao Jue couldn't help but sigh, the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast bloodline and the Yin Yang Technique are really useful.

Moreover, over such a long period of time and so many times, including the previous times, Xiao Jue finally accumulated enough Dou Qi, and with Yun Yun's help, he finally broke through to the four-star Dou Ling level.
