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

Chapter 90 Heading to the Black Corner Region

After Jia Xingtian left, Yao Ye led Xiao Jue to a palace. Xiao Jue looked at the little follower behind him and said, "Yue'er, you should go back to your palace and refine pills first. Practice your alchemy skills more recently. When we get to Canaan Academy, we can teach you how to refine fifth-grade pills."

"Really?" Yaoyue asked in surprise, "My current strength is a six-star Great Dou Master. Can you help me break through to Dou Ling?"

"Go ahead, I'll let you know later."

After seeing Yaoyue off, Xiao Jue looked at the royal princess in front of him, who was also looking at him.

"Your Highness Yaoye, have you thought about how you will inherit the throne in the future?" Xiao Jue asked with a smirk. "I do have two kinds of pill formulas here that can quickly improve your strength, but it will take some years."

Yao Ye, quite curious, asked, "How can it be mastered quickly? How many stars of strength can one break through?"

"There are two pill formulas: the seventh-grade Life-Devouring Pill and the eighth-grade Life-Devouring Pill. The former can directly make one a Battle King, while the latter can directly make one a Battle Ancestor."

"After taking the Life-Devouring Pill to break through to the Dou Wang realm, your lifespan will only be three years. However, I possess the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, among which the Yang Flame can help you restore your vitality, essentially allowing you to directly break through to the Dou Wang realm."

"The side effect of the Life-Devouring Pill is the depletion of life force. You will die within three days after breaking through to the Dou Zong realm. However, you can use the Yang Fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames to restore your life force, which means it helps you break through to the Dou Zong realm without any side effects."

The Life-Devouring Pill is a pill left behind by the Yin-Yang Saint Long Yan. Although he discovered that the Yang Fire of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames could restore the life force of others, he never used it.

Since the Life-Devouring Pill he refined was originally intended to cultivate a cauldron for absorbing yin and replenishing yang for cultivation, he naturally wouldn't expend much effort to help the other party recover their battle qi.

"What does Mr. Xiao Jue want for Yao Ye?"

Yao Ye's expression was aloof. Biting her lower lip, she suppressed her shyness and asked, "If you can refine the Life-Devouring Pill for me, Yao Ye is willing to obey Mr. Xiao Jue's orders."

Xiao Jue looked at Yao Ye, the future Empress of the Jia Ma Empire, with a playful expression. He reached out and lifted a strand of her hair, saying, "Hold this for me for now. I'll save your body for when you ascend the throne. After destroying the Chu Yun Empire, Luo Yan Empire, and Mu Lan Empire, I'll probably be able to refine the Life-Devouring Pill."

Yao Ye hesitated. She wasn't sure if Xiao Jue was lying to her, but everything Xiao Jue promised concerned the future of the Jia Ma Empire. Her great-grandfather had only been able to break through to the Dou Zong realm thanks to the pills he had refined.

Moreover, there were Yun Shan, the previous sect leader of Yunlan Sect, and Medusa Queen of the Snake-People Clan, all of whom were Dou Zong powerhouses. After only a moment's hesitation, Yao Ye knelt down in front of Xiao Jue.

"Please don't tell Yaoyue, sir..."

Yao Ye's movements were clumsy, but her usually aloof face revealed a pure and sweet smile every time she looked up at Xiao Jue, which was extremely different from her usual style.

Only after Xiao Jue had applied the face mask to Yao Ye's face did he let her clean it off, and then waved for her to leave.

"Just wait patiently. In three to five years at most, you will become a Dou Zong powerhouse, the Empress of the Jia Ma Empire, and... my slave."

Yao Ye withdrew expressionlessly. To get what you want, you inevitably have to pay a price. Xiao Jue did not force her, but she had too many concerns and could not refuse Xiao Jue.

……

Three days later, Xiao Yan returned to the capital, which was also the time for Xiao Jue to leave the Jia Ma Empire.

Xiao Yan asked, "How do I get to Canaan Academy?"

"Of course we flew there." Xiao Jue reached out and hugged Yao Yue's petite body, holding her in his arms.

With dragon wings unfurled behind him, Xiao Jue picked up Yao Yue and flew away. He sent a soul message to Xiao Yan, "Have Elder Yao lend you his soul power. Use the Purple Cloud Wings to fly and get to Canaan Academy as soon as possible. Afterwards, Elder Yao and I will go to the Black Corner Region."

Xiao Yan gave a wry smile. Black Corner Region... After we parted ways at Canaan Academy, Xiao Jue would probably have broken through to become a Dou Wang by the time we met again.

At that time, Xiao Jue probably wouldn't have needed to borrow Yao Lao's soul power to refine a sixth-grade pill.

Canaan Academy is located in the Black Corner Region, and in this chaotic place, Canaan Academy is the only place where one can find peace.

Xiao Jue didn't need a map; he simply asked the old apothecary for directions. Apart from a brief stop in the Monster Mountain Range where he obtained a pill formula and two pills in a cave, he never stopped moving forward.

In just two days, they flew to the vicinity of Peace Town.

Xiao Jue's true form, the Illusionary Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast, possesses the bloodline of an ancient dragon. Although he does not have the bloodline talent to control the power of space, his flight speed is not to be underestimated. Even the Dou Qi wings of ordinary Dou Wangs are not as fast as Xiao Jue's.

Xiao Yan, possessing Yao Lao's soul power, could fly even faster.

Xiao Jue then slowly descended, finally stopping on a small hill. Standing atop the hill, he gazed into the distance and could see a small town faintly visible between two majestic mountains.

At the foot of the hill, there is a dirt road leading directly to the town. There are many pedestrians on this dirt road, and these people have obviously come from the Black Corner Region.

The latest novel is first published here!

Although these people possessed a certain ferocity, their faces showed no sign of killing intent. However, this concealment of their inner killing intent did not appear natural; rather, it seemed as if it was being forcibly suppressed. Therefore, the expressions on these passersby's faces were quite strange.

Xiao Jue put Yao Yue down from his arms, and looked at Xiao Yan, who was also falling down, and reached out his hand. Xiao Yan took off the Bone Flame Ring and handed it to Xiao Jue.

"Next, you can go directly to Canaan Academy." Xiao Jue patted Yao Yue's head and said, "Once you arrive at Canaan Academy, go find Instructor Ruolin and have Yao Yue enroll."

Because we didn't spend too much time in the Gama Empire and Black Corner Region, there are still nearly three months until the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.

Yao Yue looked at Xiao Jue expectantly, "Then when will you come to see Yue'er, Teacher?"

"It won't be long." Gently pinching Yaoyue's little face, Xiao Jue put on the Bone Flame Ring on his hand, spread his dragon wings on his back, and flew away.

"Let's go, junior nephew." Xiao Yan grinned, feeling quite pleased with himself as an elder.

Yao Yue pouted, "Your alchemy skills aren't any better than mine, and you call yourself a senior uncle?"

Xiao Yan said seriously, "Let me correct you, I am your senior uncle, I am one year older than Xiao Jue."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yue's eyes widened. Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were the same age, and she was half a year younger than Nalan Yanran. So, did that mean she was half a year older than Xiao Jue?

"Let's talk when you catch up to me in strength." Yao Yue tossed her hair. "I'm a six-star Great Dou Master, and you're only a five-star Great Dou Master. How can an elder be weaker than a junior disciple?"

The two walked together toward Peace Town. Xiao Jue had already disappeared from sight in the distance, and the speed of the Illusion Fire Scorpion Dragon Beast was terrifying.
