Seeing that the matter was completed, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and turned to fly back to the palace he had come from.

Back at the palace, Marina reported on the current situation of the Elven race. After listening to the report, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and asked Marina to bring up all the treasures of the race so that he could choose from them.

As an ancient race that has remained hidden from the world for thousands of years, the Elf race has a considerable collection of rare and precious materials. Xiao Xuanyuan immediately took a liking to several medicinal herbs for refining fifth and sixth grade spiritual medicines, as well as many superior cultivation techniques. However, although most of them were good, they were not very useful to Xiao Xuanyuan, who possessed the heaven-defying "Burning Technique". But one cultivation technique aroused his great interest!

"Floating Immortal?"

Upon seeing the name of the cultivation technique, Xiao Xuanyuan looked on with curiosity, turned to the first page, and gradually read on until he finished. He then clapped his hands and put away the engraved technique.

"Bring Daphne in, I have something to do with her!" Seeing Marina looking anxious to the side, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at her indifferently and gave the order.

"Yes, Brother Xuanyuan." Marina wiped the cold sweat from her pale forehead, which was covered in sweat from nervousness, and turned to leave. Just as she was about to exit the hall, Xiao Xuanyuan's voice drifted over again: "Temporarily seal her battle qi and dantian!"

Finally leaving the main hall, Marina let out a soft sigh of relief. Even though their relationship had improved somewhat recently, she still felt that Xiao Xuanyuan was like a towering mountain weighing on her heart, putting her under considerable pressure.

"To seal Daphne's power? What's going on? Could it be..." Marina wondered to herself. After a moment, a certain image flashed through her mind, and she shuddered again. Faced with the incredibly powerful Xiao Xuanyuan, even she, the esteemed Empress, had to submit and kneel in humiliation before him. If even the proud Daphne would do this, what would the consequences be...?

Marina could only feel a pang of regret in her heart... Now even Daphne couldn't escape it, but from now on they would all be sisters...

With that thought in mind, Marina summoned Daphne, who was waiting, and then, taking advantage of her inattention, sealed all the meridians and dantian in her body.

Seeing the Empress suddenly seal away all her power, Daphne was completely bewildered. She asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, why did you seal away my fighting spirit?"

Marina sighed softly, waved to Daphne, and said, "Brother Xuanyuan is waiting for you inside. Remember, it might hurt a lot at first... but you'll get used to it..." As she said this, Marina seemed to feel ashamed to face Daphne, so she turned around, unfolded her thin, transparent wings, and gently fluttered them away from the sky.

"..."

Watching Queen Marina's departing figure, Daphne remained silent for a long time. She seemed to have sensed something, but since even Her Majesty the Queen had given the order, she had no choice but to face it and could not avoid it. After a long while, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and walked into the He Rui Palace.

He Rui Palace is filled with flowing water and blooming with fresh, plump, bright red lotus flowers. The air is filled with a misty atmosphere, and it also has a hot spring. It is like a heavenly palace, and entering it is like stepping into a poem or painting.

Daphne entered the palace, winding her way to the center, where Her Majesty the Empress occasionally held meetings. But now, Xiao Xuanyuan was leaning back on the comfortable, thousand-year-old soft silk, taking a short rest with his eyes closed.

Hearing the soft footsteps approaching, he slightly opened his eyes and glanced sideways. Because an incense burner was lit inside the hall, wisps of white fragrance rose, giving it a divine feel; it was indeed a fine place for a cave dwelling.

"Honorable guest, may I ask what brings you here?" Daphne walked to the front of the hall and glanced at Xiao Xuanyuan, who was reclining and sleeping in a rather languid posture. She frowned slightly, but still greeted him with utmost politeness. As a guest whom even Her Majesty the Queen respected, she, as the Holy Maiden of the Elf Clan, dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Xiao Xuanyuan remained silent, slowly rising from his throne and walking to Daphne. Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan's intense gaze, Daphne involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Don't move!"

With a smile, Xiao Xuanyuan remained silent, slowly circling Daphne a few times, scrutinizing her figure until Daphne became uneasy and started to bristle. Only then did Xiao Xuanyuan say, "Will you cooperate with me, or should I use special methods..."

Chapter Eighteen Challenge

Facing the expressionless, indifferent guest before her, Daphne felt a slight tremor in her heart; she seemed to have already sensed what was about to happen.

"This is our elven territory! How dare you act recklessly!" Daphne was terrified. This was the first time she had felt such fear since becoming a saintess.

"Hmph, even your Queen is my woman now, who wouldn't I dare touch?" With that, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward, grabbing Daphne's arm. Daphne quickly retreated, her face filled with panic, saying, "This is a palace! If you dare to do anything reckless, you'll never leave the Elven realm..."

"Really? Hmph, I'd like to try," Xiao Xuanyuan said, and was about to rush forward.

In a flash, a white light appeared before his eyes, and Daphne held a gleaming longsword. Xiao Xuanyuan noticed that it had several ancient runes on it, which read "Su Yun Sword." Judging from the sharp sword aura it exuded, even without the infusion of battle qi, Xiao Xuanyuan was certain that it was an unparalleled sword!

"If you dare to come forward again, I will kill myself in front of you!" With that, Daphne held the Suyun Sword to her fair, jade-like neck.

Xiao Xuanyuan laughed. He really hadn't expected that this Holy Maiden would have such a fierce side; he had underestimated her.

“Oh, I’d like to see,” Xiao Xuanyuan was about to step forward when Daphne moved, and the blade of the Suyun Sword easily cut through her skin, revealing bright red blood.

"I didn't realize you had such a temper," Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly, then sighed helplessly, "I'll let you off this time, considering how principled you are and how much you value your chastity!"

Upon hearing this, Daphne's expression relaxed slightly. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her vision blurred and a figure rushed over with lightning speed. Before she could react, she felt a numbness in her arm and her hand went empty. The Suyun Sword had been snatched away out of thin air.

"Want to commit suicide? Heh, no way! I won't let you commit suicide until you become my woman!" Xiao Xuanyuan ran his index and middle fingers along the blade of the Suyun Sword, feeling the chill emanating from its sharp edge. He clicked his tongue in admiration: "What a fine sword! Truly a fine sword! With its sharpness, it can cut through iron like mud and kill people like slicing vegetables!"

The sword was snatched away, and Daphne's pretty face turned ashen. She glared at Xiao Xuanyuan, reached out, and angrily shouted, "Give me back the Suyun Sword right now, or I'll... I'll..." She trailed off, because this was the only sword she had in her storage ring. But then a thought flashed through her mind, and she took out a white jade bottle, uncorked it, tilted her head back towards her open mouth, and shouted angrily, "If you don't give it back, I'll eat this Crimson Heart Red!" As she spoke, she made a move to pour it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan smiled, casually flicked his sword, and a clear sword sound rang out. "Catch!" Xiao Xuanyuan threw the Suyun Sword at Daphne.

Seeing this, Daphne quickly put away the white jade bottle, stretched out her jade hand, and caught the Suyun Sword that had been flung at her on its hilt. Back in its owner's hand, the Suyun Sword seemed to possess a spirit, emitting a sword cry, as if it were roaring excitedly.

The Su Yun Sword is connected to her heart and blood. She often nourishes it with her essence and blood and nurtures it with her soul's essence. When Daphne holds the sword, she feels a connection to it and a spiritual communion with the sword.

"If you want to use force, do you think you'll have a chance to resist?" Xiao Xuanyuan curled his lip, rubbing his nose with his finger, quite disdainful. After a slight pause, he continued, "I'll give you three years. If you can't reach the Dou Huang level within three years and successfully withstand three of my moves, then you'll obediently become my woman, understand?"

"Three years?" Daphne frowned, her brows furrowing. She had only recently advanced to the first-star Dou Ling level. At less than thirty years old, her talent was already considered heaven-defying within her clan. However, to reach the Dou Huang level within three years was undoubtedly a pipe dream. After all, there was a Dou Wang level between the Dou Ling and Dou Huang levels, and as cultivation progressed, the advancement and the required Dou Qi became increasingly difficult. How could that be easy?!

“That’s right, you only have three years. If you can’t meet my requirements in three years, then accept your fate. After all, I’m not bad either!” Xiao Xuanyuan’s confident expression was radiant. His confident look made Daphne take a second look. Xiao Xuanyuan wasn’t bad-looking to begin with. His handsome and pleasing face, and his deep eyes like stars in the sky, made women fall in love with him. Coupled with his otherworldly and ethereal temperament, he was even more otherworldly and extremely attractive to women!

"What is your strength now? May I test my skills against you?" Daphne frowned, her usually calm eyes now filled with a defiant and unconvincing look.

"Heh, you certainly dare to dream, but I grant your permission!" Xiao Xuanyuan smiled confidently, then turned and looked around, shaking his head slightly. "This space is too cramped. Let's go to the back garden!" Without another word, he turned and walked towards the palace's back garden. At the same time, he used his soul restriction to send a telepathic message to Marina, asking her to come over and remove the seals and shackles from Daphne's body. Otherwise, if Xiao Xuanyuan were to do it himself, it would take quite a bit of effort, since Marina was a Dou Zun level expert, and the seals she placed were extraordinary.

Because of the restriction on the origin of the soul, this mysterious soul transmission and perception cannot be simply described. After about a quarter of an hour, Marina rushed over and arrived at the back garden.

When Xiao Xuanyuan saw the fleeting look of fear on her face, and the hurriedness of her arrival, he couldn't help but smile. He stepped forward, embraced her, and affectionately kissed her beautiful cheek, making Marina blush. She glanced at Daphne beside her, her face turning even redder to the roots of her neck.

Daphne looked on awkwardly, turning away but glancing back every now and then. She was shocked but also curious about how this man had managed to get even Her Majesty the Queen under his control.

Under Xiao Xuanyuan's whispered words and coordinated actions, Marina's body went limp, and she couldn't help but lean against him.

Xiao Xuanyuan chuckled, having enjoyed his hands for a while, and then instructed her, "Go and remove the seal on Daphne. I want her to be convinced!"

"Brother Xuanyuan, is this alright?" Marina couldn't help but worry about him. Although the man's identity was somewhat awkward for her, he still felt quite good about her, which stirred a strange feeling within her...

"It's alright. I'll make her admit defeat, so I'll give her the chance to challenge me. If she fails, well, that won't be up to her..."

Chapter Nineteen Strength

After Marina was released from her confinement, Daphne glanced at her and asked, "Your Majesty, is it worth it for this outsider?"

Upon hearing this, Marina's eyes flashed with complex emotions. She sighed softly and said, "Things have come to this point, and I have nothing more to say. Fortunately, Brother Xuanyuan has treated me well. You should take care of yourself!" After saying this, Marina returned to Xiao Xuanyuan's side and stood aside watching.

Xiao Xuanyuan, with his exceptional hearing, naturally overheard their conversation. He turned to look at Marina and reassured her, "Don't worry, you won't suffer if you stay with me. At least your life isn't in danger right now!"

"Alright, bring out your most powerful fighting techniques!" Xiao Xuanyuan turned around and stared at Daphne, looking directly into her eyes.

Seeing Marina's obviously obedient demeanor, Daphne knew she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. She gently touched her middle finger ring with her slender fingers, a pale green light flashed, and she took out a bottle of pills, pulled them out, and drank them down.

This elixir, called the "Thousand Tree Pill," is a high-grade fifth-rank pill, nearly reaching the sixth rank. It's extremely rare, and she only managed to obtain it by chance during her training trip. After ingesting it, it can dramatically increase a cultivator's strength, at least by three stars—a truly exceptional elixir. However, the side effects are also extremely severe. At best, it causes a decline in strength, preventing cultivation recovery for half a month; at worst, it can rupture meridians, making future advancement impossible.

To ensure victory in this competition, Daphne had completely cast aside any worries. After drinking the Thousand Tree Pill, the aura emanating from Daphne surged dramatically, and a gust of wind suddenly arose, pressing towards Xiao Xuanyuan!

"She does have some strength!" Xiao Xuanyuan nodded to himself. After taking that cyan pill, Daphne's strength was already closing in on his.

“Brother Xuanyuan, our Elf race excels in nature-based attributes, especially in wind and wood attributes, which we have mastered to an unparalleled degree. We are extremely fast, so you must be careful!” Marina suddenly said.

Xiao Xuanyuan turned back and gave her a deep look before saying nothing more. His fighting spirit swirled around him, and he exuded an aura of dominance over the world. The waves rose without wind, sweeping across the surroundings. After gaining a preliminary understanding of the "Law of Flame" from the Elf Holy Land, Xiao Xuanyuan felt as if he were a ball of flame soaring freely between heaven and earth, free and unrestrained, like a strange fire that could burn everything!

Even Hei Sha said that he now made Hei Sha feel much closer to him, as if he were a blood relative... Xiao Xuanyuan understood that this was the harmonious power of the fire source!

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan engulfed in flames, looking like a human torch, Daphne felt a surge of pressure. Her eyes flashed with his image, a pale green light appeared, and then his figure vanished from the spot!

Xiao Xuanyuan felt a blur before his eyes, his ears twitched slightly, and a whooshing sound came from his right side. A sense of crisis surged through his body, and he immediately struck out with a palm without hesitation.

boom!

A powerful impact collided, and the ripples spread outwards. Daphne's beautiful figure flashed into view in an instant. Her jade-like hands held the Suyun Sword, and streaks of green sword intent swirled around her like small snakes, releasing a dangerous aura.

But at this moment, these sword intent snakes were like wilted vegetables, several of them were scattered by Xiao Xuanyuan's palm, leaving them incomplete.

"Such speed!" Xiao Xuanyuan withdrew his sword, his bleeding hand trembling slightly. The sword was incredibly sharp, piercing his palm.

Daphne remained silent, her pretty face cold. She drew her Suyun sword, made a sword incantation, and silently chanted "Eight Directions Cloud Movement." Then her figure disappeared again. That sword strike had shown her Xiao Xuanyuan's strength. The terrifying heat released in that instant had burned her sleeve to ashes. If she hadn't dodged in time, one of her arms would probably have been destroyed.

The moment Daphne disappeared, Xiao Xuanyuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly released his soul perception to search for Daphne's aura and location.

Before he could react, countless sword shadows appeared from all directions, forming a surrounding sword formation that encircled Xiao Xuanyuan and attacked him!

Seeing this, Marina's pupils contracted slightly. This was Daphne's signature fighting technique. Under this move, Daphne was virtually invincible among those of the same level! Thinking of this, Marina's jade-like hand tightened slightly. She was hesitating whether she should intervene if an emergency occurred.

With sharp sword energy and icy killing intent, Xiao Xuanyuan tensed every nerve in his body. His vast soul perception spread out like a tide. Suddenly, amidst the sword energy from all directions, he caught sight of a delicate figure that was moving rapidly!

"That's enough!" Xiao Xuanyuan thought coldly, his aura surging forth. He controlled his palms, and black and white flames spun in his palms in a yin-yang pattern.

"Tai Chi Millstone!" Xiao Xuanyuan transformed into an extremely dazzling Tai Chi Yin-Yang millstone, shooting towards the delicate figure that was constantly moving amidst the surrounding sword energy.

Daphne immediately felt immense pressure, and an aura had locked onto her. She gritted her teeth and decisively changed her sword technique. The sword energy from all directions instantly condensed back and merged with the sword. Daphne frantically poured her battle qi into the Suyun Sword. At the same time, Daphne's red lips moved slightly, and countless green light spots instantly gathered around her. In no time, a huge tree stood in front of her.

The colossal tree was lush and majestic, radiating a vibrant life force. After its appearance, Daphne spat a mouthful of blood essence onto the tree, then gently pointed a finger and murmured, "Go!"

The giant tree, following the direction of her finger, crashed down, and in no time it met the enormous Tai Chi Yin-Yang millstone that Xiao Xuanyuan had transformed into. Both were fighting techniques used by both sides, and their power was extremely strong. As soon as they met, they erupted with a deafening roar, and the aftershocks spread out, but they encountered an unknown restrictive force and vanished without a trace.

Black and white rotate, life goes on and on, flames burst forth, burning everything! Even though the giant tree was incredibly powerful and full of life, wood is no match for fire. In just a few breaths, the flames released by the millstone burned the giant tree, which was full of life, into nothingness, and then continued to rush towards Daphne.

Gazing at the enormous black and white millstone that had become much dimmer and more illusory, Daphne, holding the Suyun Sword, pointed it at the center of the black and white millstone with an indomitable and sharp aura!

When the two met, even the air around them stopped moving, and space itself seemed to freeze. Then, a ripple spread outwards from the point of impact, unleashing a powerful storm that swept across the land…

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter Twenty: Return

hum!

When the tip of the Suyun Sword touched the center point of the giant Taiji diagram's black and white rotation, the surrounding space paused slightly, as if it had stopped. Then, in an instant, a wave of energy rippled out from between the two, spreading in all directions.

With a whoosh, a powerful energy shockwave spread across the sky, then silently dissipated upon touching the protective barrier. Marina, being relatively close, was naturally affected. She narrowed her eyes, and with a flick of her sleeve, the surrounding shockwave vanished without a trace.

Marina is a Dou Zun-level powerhouse, and this kind of Dou Ling-level battle poses absolutely no threat to her. If it weren't for Xiao Xuanyuan possessing that incredible soul, catching her off guard, their master-servant relationship might have been reversed by now.

As Su Yun Sword struck, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a surge of blood and qi in his chest, a turbulent and overwhelming sensation. A tearing pain shot through the web of his hand, as if it had been ripped apart! He had somewhat underestimated this Holy Maiden of the Elf Clan. To be chosen as a Holy Maiden at such a young age, her strength was beyond doubt!

Thinking of this, he recklessly poured his fiery fighting spirit into his palms to maintain the rotation of the Reincarnation Millstone. Under his desperate efforts, the Tai Chi black and white millstone shone brightly and emitted a deep, ancient sound, buzzing loudly!

Daphne was extremely shocked, no less so than Xiao Xuanyuan. With her strength, after consuming such a powerful pill, she was virtually invincible among those of the same level. Every time she made a move, she crushed her opponent. But this time, she had miscalculated!

An immense, mountain-like pressure relentlessly pressed in. With each rotation of the enormous black and white millstone, the pressure intensified significantly. In just a few breaths, she felt as if she were facing an opponent several times stronger than herself!

Although Su Yun's sword was sharp, it could not withstand the gradually increasing power. Her tiger's mouth was already torn, and blood flowed down and dripped continuously.
