Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

What they fear is Xiao Yang's own potential.

Lei Ying's face was gloomy. After thinking for a while, he said...

"I think we need to test the waters."

"If he really knew, then..."

As he spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Yan Jin, however, spoke directly.

"A ninth-grade alchemist would also be of great use to us."

“He hadn’t shown any weaknesses before.”

"He only had four women and a younger brother by his side."

"But now, his family is his weakness!"

As he spoke, a sinister glint flashed in Yan Jin's eyes.

As soon as Lei Ying heard this, he knew what the other party wanted to do.

Do you really think the ancient imperial clans were good people?

"I think I can try it."

"However, the Xiao family is too famous now, and they have also formed an alliance with the Dan Tower."

“Those people in the Little Pill Tower are nothing, but the Pill Tower Ancestor is quite powerful.”

"Most importantly, the other party's identity is always changing."

"We must consider this matter carefully!"

"Moreover, our reputation is also very important, so it's best to do it covertly."

Although Yan Jin also wanted to immediately subdue Xiao Yang.

But he also knew that Lei Ying was right.

"Okay, we can discuss it together when the time comes."

……

Two months have passed since the news of the alliance between Danta and the other side broke.

Xiao Yang is currently in the Yang Realm, preparing to break through to the Six-Star Dou Sheng realm.

During this period, apart from refining a few pills, he spent his time refining the essence of the sun.

Now, he feels he's almost ready to break through.

Above his courtyard, the energy of heaven and earth began to gather.

Soon, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Task: Break through to Six-Star Dou Sheng. Rewards: Constitution +1, Root Bone +1, 100 random top-tier medicinal herbs, 1000 Space Crystals. Completed. Claim rewards?]

As the fighting spirit within his body gradually stabilized, Xiao Yang opened his eyes.

He casually accepted the reward.

Feeling the powerful energy within him, he felt it was time for him to try refining a ninth-grade golden pill.

With his current strength, refining a ninth-grade golden pill should not be a problem for him.

After making his decision, Xiao Yang began preparing the materials.

The elixir he was preparing to refine this time was called the Ascension Pill.

Even among ninth-grade golden pills, this one is considered quite difficult to obtain.

The Heavenly Ascension Pill has a very simple function: it can raise one's cultivation level to the second star of the Dou Sheng realm!

Even a Seven-Star Battle Saint can directly reach Nine-Star after consuming it!

With the terrifying medicinal power of the Ascension Pill, if a powerhouse in the early stage of the Battle Saint realm were to take it, they would possess a powerful physical body and meridians capable of withstanding that terrifying medicinal power, and might even directly increase their cultivation by three stars!

That's the cultivation level of a three-star Dou Sheng!

Of course, if one's physical body is not strong enough and one's cultivation level is insufficient, one may very well self-destruct and die after consuming it.

As the name suggests, the Ascension Pill is an elixir that can make a person ascend to heaven in one step.

Its medicinal effects are extremely potent.

Three ninth-tier magic cores are needed!

It even requires nine top-grade medicinal herbs as the main ingredients.

Just by looking at these materials, one can tell how terrifying the medicinal power of this Ascension Pill is.

If someone were to self-destruct using the Ascension Pill, even a Nine-Star Dou Sheng would be severely injured or die!

Xiao Yang hadn't forgotten that a ninth-grade pill could be forced to self-destruct.

Moreover, its power is terrifying.

If there are enough of them, even a nine-star Dou Sheng would be seriously injured.

If one is a ninth-grade Golden Core cultivator, without the cultivation of an eight- or nine-star Dou Sheng, death is almost certain!

However, even Xiao Yang needs to make preparations in advance if he wants to refine a ninth-grade golden pill.

The ninth-grade golden elixir requires the mobilization of too much energy from heaven and earth.

In the mortal realm, it cannot withstand such a thing.

It can't be said that it's completely unsatisfactory.

He feared that mobilizing such a massive amount of天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) within the Yang Realm would damage the very essence of the small world within it.

After all, the Yang Realm is not like the small worlds of those ancient imperial clans, which have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, there are countless Battle Saints maintaining and expanding it.

Refining a ninth-grade golden pill in the mortal realm now is not a good thing for the mortal realm.

When the energy of heaven and earth is mobilized, the forces within the Pill Domain will also become aware of it.

Therefore, Xiao Yang needed to inform the people at the Pill Tower first.

Xiao Yang did not enter the Strange Fire Tower to refine the flames.

He was afraid that the energy inside the Strange Fire Tower would not be enough.

Although he had the experience of refining ninth-grade golden pills given by the system, he did not know exactly how much energy of heaven and earth he needed to absorb.

Moreover, he didn't know what kind of strange phenomena would occur after refining a ninth-grade golden pill.

He only has pure refining experience.

Therefore, it is best to refine it outside.

When Lin Laoguai learned that Xiao Yang was preparing to refine a ninth-grade golden pill, he was immediately shocked.

Although there are no ninth-grade alchemists openly on the continent, there are still a few in secret.

There is even more than one ninth-grade Xuan Dan alchemist.

However, there has never been a single ninth-grade Golden Core Grandmaster in thousands of years!

Chapter 529 Beast Puppets Shock the Heart!

For thousands of years, countless brilliant alchemy masters have attempted to refine the ninth-grade golden elixir.

However, in the end, they all ended in failure.

Refining a ninth-grade golden pill is extremely difficult!

To refine a ninth-grade golden pill, the requirements for soul power and cultivation level are extremely demanding.

One's battle qi cultivation must reach at least the late stage of Dou Sheng.

In terms of the soul realm, one must at least reach the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

Although Xiao Yang only had the cultivation of a six-star Dou Sheng.

However, thanks to the power of the Myriad Laws Technique, his battle qi cultivation is no weaker than that of a Seven-Star Battle Saint.

Moreover, he also possesses the Fusion Pill Technique, which can conserve his battle qi and soul power.

In addition, the materials for the ninth-grade golden pill are extremely rare.

After the Dou Qi Continent was sealed, no external energy could flow in, and Origin Qi was no longer generated.

This has led to a decrease in the availability of top-tier medicinal herbs in the Dou Qi Continent.

Moreover, the energy of heaven and earth is much thinner than before.

It is also more difficult for a strong person to grow into a powerful one.

In this era, there are very few people who possess the cultivation level of a late-stage Dou Sheng and whose soul realm has reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

To reach this level and still be an alchemist, only Yao Dan, the patriarch of the Medicine Clan, possesses that skill.

Unfortunately, even medicinal pills cannot be refined into a ninth-grade golden pill!

Therefore, upon hearing that Xiao Yang wanted to try refining a ninth-grade golden pill, Old Monster Lin immediately wanted to come and see.

After all, top-grade medicinal herbs are becoming increasingly scarce in the Dou Qi Continent.

Opportunities to refine a ninth-grade golden pill are few and far between.

Even failure might offer him some inspiration.

Xiao Yang naturally had no objection to Lin Laoguai's request.

The other party arrived very quickly.

After the Xiao family and Danta formed an alliance, Yangcheng and Shengdancheng gained a wormhole connecting the two places.

This spatial wormhole was personally built by Xiao Yang's clone, and it is exceptionally sturdy.

It is difficult for even an ordinary Dou Sheng to destroy it easily.
