"I will open the entrance to the Divine Medicine Pavilion shortly; you may enter yourselves!" With that, Nangong Wan conjured a mirror of light, its surface covered in complex and ancient runes, a faint halo swirling around it, utterly mysterious. Holding the wheel-shaped mirror in her jade-like hand, Nangong Wan formed incantations, propelling the mirror towards the tallest stone pillar within the cave. Instantly, under her control, a rotating entrance leading to the endless void appeared before them!

A passage, about ten feet wide and as large as the entrance to a vertical football field, seemed to contain countless stars spinning and devouring everything inside. The four people closest to this long oval entrance felt a powerful suction force pulling them in!

The entrance seemed unstable, and countless sand and stones around it were thrown up and pulled into it. Even the space connecting it seemed to be swallowed up and collapsed. An extremely powerful destructive and devouring force came, and the entrance around it blurred. Xiao Xuanyuan's expression changed slightly in fright. He quickly circulated his battle qi and tried his best to stabilize his body!

Seeing this, Nangong Wan created a protective aura, which resembled an array flag. Then, with a flick of her slender hand, she used the Wheel of Light Mirror to cast several spells to reinforce the entrance, and only then did the powerful destructive and devouring force disappear.

In that short moment, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed a fine layer of sweat on his forehead. He was absolutely certain that if he had been caught in the still unstable entrance, he would have been torn to shreds in the blink of an eye and swallowed by the void. The other three also looked grim, their faces showing lingering fear.

"Alright, you can enter now! Remember, to come out, simply crush the jade token in your hand, and you'll be outside. However, opening the Divine Medicine Pavilion each time consumes a huge amount of energy. If you want to enter again next time, you'll have to wait until the next alchemy competition ends!" After explaining, Nangong Wan's bright eyes swept over everyone. "Now, you can begin entering!"

The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Chapter 55 Suppression of the Virtual Realm

"Now you may enter!"

As soon as Nangong Wan gave the order, Xiao Xuanyuan and the other three exchanged glances, all seeing the hesitation in each other's eyes, as if they all wanted the other to go in first.

“This never happened before at the entrance to the Divine Medicine Pavilion!” The Flower Fairy frowned slightly, her expression furrowed.

"Then what happened this time?" The remaining three looked at her in shock.

"I don't know the situation either!" After a moment of contemplation, the Flower Fairy shook her head slightly.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Xiao Yan out of the corner of his eye, secretly paying attention to him. Xiao Yan noticed Xiao Xuanyuan's left hand subtly touching a black ring engraved with intricate and ancient patterns. He wondered to himself, "Elder Yan, what's going on?"

The ancient ring hidden under Xiao Yan's finger flashed subtly, and no one present noticed it except for Xiao Xuanyuan, who had been paying special attention to Xiao Yan.

A slightly hoarse, gloomy, and weathered voice communicated with Xiao Yan with a unique frequency: "A void storm is brewing in the void. The woman's method of communicating through the teleportation wormhole was not proficient enough, which caused a slight change. It's nothing serious."

"Okay, then I'll go in without worry." Xiao Yan nodded secretly.

The same scene happened to Xiao Xuanyuan, who asked curiously, "Elder Yao, can you sense other high-level soul entities nearby, similar to your own, using your soul perception?"

"What!?" Yao Lao was shocked. He frowned and slowly released his powerful soul perception. Yao Lao's current soul strength was equivalent to that of a Dou Zong level expert. Even if he explored the outside world now, as long as he was careful, Nangong Wan, whose strength was at the Dou Huang level, would not be able to detect his existence.

After a moment, Yao Lao withdrew his soul perception, his brows furrowing in seriousness: "Some powerful residual soul energy was left in the space just now. Following some traces, I discovered something strange about this Xiao Yan kid. Just as I was about to probe, a soul perception force no less powerful than mine blocked my way. It seems that this kid Xiao Yan..." Yao Lao didn't say it explicitly, but it was quite clear: Xiao Yan also possessed a powerful soul!

"It seems you'd better be careful of Xiao Yan, especially the soul hidden behind him!" Yao Lao's tone was extremely solemn. He too was somewhat wary of a soul expert of the same level; if a fight broke out, the outcome was uncertain!

When Yao Lao noticed the other party, the other party also noticed Yao Lao! Yan Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind: "This is troublesome. Your cousin also has a powerful soul protecting him!"

"Elder Yan, can you handle him?" Hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart tightened. Suddenly, it dawned on him—no wonder! No wonder Xiao Xuanyuan's cultivation had advanced so rapidly in such a short time; it turned out he had a powerful soul protecting him, just like himself! Recalling his perilous encounter, Xiao Yan's heart also trembled.

"I haven't faced him yet, so the odds are about 50/50. But if I lose, it should be enough to escort you out of here!" Old Yan raised an eyebrow, and his soul body, wreathed in countless burning crimson flames, suddenly surged with power, emanating an aura of dominance over the world.

Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with light. Only now did he truly understand the cause and effect of everything. He threw away all his contempt and his fear of Xiao Xuanyuan increased to an unprecedented level. He placed him in the position of an opponent of the same level!

"This entrance will automatically close in ten breaths!" Nangong Wan glanced coldly at the crowd. "If you miss it, you'll have to wait for next time!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan's expression hardened. Without saying anything, he turned and rushed towards the entrance, his body shooting into it like an arrow. Seeing this, the remaining three gritted their teeth and followed suit without saying another word! The terrifying changes at the entrance were still vivid in their minds, and they were still shaken. But now was not the time to back down.

The instant he entered the entrance, he felt countless tearing spatial forces acting on his body, constantly tearing and squeezing his body. Xiao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and persevered. The Burning Technique within his body, carrying fire battle qi, surged wildly through his meridians, dissolving the external pressure. A wisp of fire battle qi even transformed into a protective aura, closely protecting his entire body. He didn't know how much time had passed, perhaps a moment, perhaps a day or two. His vision blurred, and after a dizzying sensation, his feet landed firmly on solid ground.

Having just regained his footing and suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, Xiao Xuanyuan quickly looked around. A vast expanse of green land stretched out before him, surrounded by towering forests and mountain peaks filling his vision. The sounds of birds, beasts, and insects filled his ears, and every now and then, the roars of strange beasts echoed through the mountains, intimidating the birds and beasts in the forest.

Before entering the Divine Medicine Pavilion, Master Nangong Wan had already explained the situation inside to her. The Divine Medicine Pavilion is located in a virtual space, which can be said to be a self-contained space, unaffected by the outside world.

This illusory space is roughly the size of a medium-sized country, similar to the Gama Empire. It is densely forested, with towering mountain ranges stretching endlessly, peaks upon peaks, and diverse terrains including deserts and waterfalls. The air here contains more than ten times the battle qi energy of the outside world. As a result, the illusory space is home to countless magical beasts, including even "Sixth-Order" magical beast kings comparable to high-level Dou Huang level experts. It can be said that it is extremely dangerous for ordinary cultivators to enter this space!

Of course, risks and opportunities are often proportional. Since the air here is rich in battle qi, one day of cultivation here is equivalent to ten days of cultivation on the Battle Qi Continent outside. In addition, in some extremely dangerous places, there may be rare and precious materials that have disappeared outside. If you can get them, it will be a tremendous unexpected income!

In short, this illusory space is a sealed-off place, the secluded treasure trove of the Alchemy Valley! And the Divine Medicine Pavilion, which attracts the covetous eyes of many alchemists in the valley, is located in the center of the illusory space! As long as an alchemist who enters this place can pass the trial and find the Divine Medicine Pavilion, then there will be tremendous benefits waiting for him!

"The Divine Medicine Pavilion! Where is it?"

Xiao Xuanyuan landed on a small hillside. Gazing at the vast, primeval forest in the distance, he pondered for a moment. After entering this place, he realized that he had become separated from Xiao Yan and the others, and had no idea where they were. He himself was also confused and didn't know where he was.

"That's right!" With a flick of his finger, a map appeared in his palm. He unfolded it, examining the terrain and observing his surroundings. After years of exploration, the Valley of Alchemy had explored the Void Realm quite thoroughly. While not perfectly clear, many terrain features and approximate locations were fairly well understood!

The Void Realm has restrictions. No matter how strong your cultivation level is, once you enter this space, you will be suppressed to the extreme. The stronger you are, the more severe the suppression from the restrictions. This means that even powerful beings are no match for a disciple with low strength after entering. Therefore, it's better for them to send disciples in to investigate! Xiao Xuanyuan's strength was suppressed by two minor levels, so it seems the suppression isn't too severe!

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Fearless Green Earthworm

Not being able to see the surrounding terrain clearly, Xiao Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, then leaped up like a nimble monkey, and in a few breaths, he reached the top of a towering tree at the highest point of the nearest peak.

Looking down and glancing around, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly and confirmed his location. If he was not mistaken, this should be the location of the "Azure Forest" in the outer area of ​​the Void Realm!

The Azure Forest is located in the southwest of the Void Realm. The environment here is somewhat similar to the depths of the Monster Mountain Range behind Wutan City. Both are covered with tall, ancient forests, and the roars of monsters are often heard nearby. Just now, Xiao Xuanyuan came down from the top of the forest and was surrounded by a dense swarm of crawling monsters!

The ground worm is a monster that looks like a mantis or a cockroach. Its bizarre and ugly appearance is particularly intimidating to people, especially its pair of long, sickle-like front legs, whose sharp barbs gleam in the sunlight!

Xiao Xuanyuan had never seen this kind of magical beast in the Magical Beast Mountain Range of the Gama Empire. It seemed that this was a unique magical beast in the Void Realm. According to the jade slip given by his master Nangong Wan, the Earth Green Worm liked to live in groups. When it appeared, it would attack in groups. If a person was surrounded, he would be trapped in a quagmire and unable to escape.

Therefore, upon encountering such a magical beast, one must evacuate in advance. However, Xiao Xuanyuan is currently surrounded by a crowd. Looking around, countless earthworms are constantly surging in, completely blocking the way, making one's scalp tingle!

Damn it!

Xiao Xuanyuan slapped his forehead, feeling a chill run down his spine. Facing monsters like the Earth Green Worm, not only were their numbers unbelievably numerous, making them impossible to kill completely, but they were also incredibly disgusting to kill. Who wouldn't feel terrified facing a monster that looked like a sheep but resembled a cockroach? And there were so many of them in front of him, he couldn't even count them all.

The earthworms surrounding him did not attack immediately, but continued to close in, making it impenetrable. Within Xiao Xuanyuan's body, fire battle qi surged and roared like a river, his whole body radiating a scorching flame aura. His iron fists emitted blazing flames, which were flames formed by the fusion of several different kinds of strange fire. Even a trace of them would be enough to incinerate everything.

Xiao Xuanyuan took two steps forward, and the green earthworms in front of him retreated two steps in fear, constantly hissing softly, but dared not come forward. He then stepped to the side, and the green earthworms on that side retreated in fear again, hissing and making noise, but still dared not come forward!

"Why aren't these things attacking? What are they waiting for?" Xiao Xuanyuan was puzzled, but after a moment he understood. Given the large number of these gregarious magical beasts, there must be a supreme commander, the Insect King, who had not yet arrived.

Perhaps they guessed correctly. After waiting for a few minutes, the group of caterpillars began to become restless, emitting piercing hissing and shrieking sounds, extremely excited!

Hiss! After a sharp cry rang out, the swarm of earthworms could no longer contain themselves. They leaped up on their hind legs and shot towards Xiao Xuanyuan in a dense, overwhelming swarm. They opened their sharp, mantis-like mouths and swung their long, sharp forelegs as they charged forward!

Taking out a Rank 1 sword from his storage ring, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't bother with any more words and charged forward. He poured in his fierce fire battle qi, and the longsword blazed with dazzling red flames. He cleaved off the head of the first green worm that charged at him. Green blood immediately spurted out and landed on a nearby tree. With a hiss, it corroded a small pit in the tree trunk and emitted a nauseating stench!

A strange stench brushed past his nose, and Xiao Xuanyuan frowned, his stomach churning as he gagged. He quickly covered his nose and mouth with his battle qi to avoid inhaling the stench! Honestly, if he could avoid fighting these filthy creatures, Xiao Xuanyuan would have turned and left immediately. These earthworm-level magical beasts weren't powerful or strong, but they were numerous and impossible to kill completely. The worst part was that they were disgusting and unbearable!

"Never mind, we have to get out of here quickly!" Xiao Xuanyuan made up his mind. Holding his long sword, streaks of flame and battle qi flashed in his hand. He slashed and killed the earthworms that swarmed around him. In fact, the earthworms were not high level. Each one was only equivalent to a high-level human battle master. But the difference was that there were many of them. They were impossible to kill them all!

*Pfft! Sizzle!*

With swift sword strokes and the aid of fiery battle qi, Xiao Xuanyuan's technique was incredibly skillful. He could unleash multiple attacks with a single sword strike, and even fireballs could clear out more than a dozen enemies at once, causing chaos and clearing out a large area in an instant. However, these earthworms were fearless and relentless. As soon as one fell, another swarmed up to fill the gaps. For a time, Xiao Xuanyuan felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, unable to kill them all. In no time, the earthworms around him had piled up to a height of two or three layers!

"Fire Dance!"

"Sweep through the enemy ranks!"

To conserve his fire energy, Xiao Xuanyuan used basic fighting techniques with wide-range destructive power. These techniques consumed less of his own fire energy but covered a large area of ​​damage. Although their attack power was much weaker, they were more than enough to deal with the layers of earthworms that surrounded him. Each strike could take away many lives!

Half an hour later, even though Xiao Xuanyuan tried his best to avoid being splattered with that disgusting green blood, he still inevitably got some on him. Because the Burning Technique had evolved to the advanced Xuan rank and he had refined three kinds of strange fire and purple fire, he was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue. His technique was still as neat and decisive as ever.

Half an hour later, Xiao Xuanyuan's white clothes were almost completely stained green. The disgusting substance had splattered so much that, in order to conserve his fire energy, he couldn't care less. The stench emanating from him grew increasingly intense. Fortunately, he had taken precautions, covering his mouth and nose with his fire energy to stop the stench. Although this didn't affect his breathing, it was still quite unbearable to look at. The corpses of the green worms had piled up layer upon layer around him, like an earthen trench protecting him. But Xiao Xuanyuan was already showing signs of impatience.

An hour later, fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Xuanyuan's forehead. He didn't know how many of these earthworms there were, and his arms were aching from killing them. The constant, repetitive hacking was also quite physically demanding, and his body was already showing signs of fatigue.

"When will this end? No, if this keeps going, I'll be worn down. I have to find a way to escape!" Xiao Xuanyuan kept swinging his sword, killing the endless waves of earthworms, until his arms started to ache.

"I entered the Void Realm this time to obtain the inheritance of the Divine Medicine Pavilion. I can't keep wasting time like this. I'm already in this state, so others must be encountering other difficulties as well. Sword Waves Thousand Feet"

Turning around, he unleashed a devastating attack, leaving a large number of earthworm corpses behind him. Xiao Xuanyuan launched a powerful attack outwards, temporarily breaking free from the encirclement of earthworm corpses. Under this overwhelming and one-sided slaughter, nearly a thousand earthworm corpses lay around him, frightening the earthworms rushing towards him into a daze, causing them to freeze in fear and dare not come forward!

A sharp roar suddenly rang out from somewhere among them, echoing throughout the entire swarm of earthworms. Those earthworms, who had been temporarily frightened by the killing, charged forward again with red eyes, fearless of death!

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Slaying the Insect King

Roar!

With a sharp, piercing screech, the surrounding earthworms, already showing fear, turned red-eyed and charged forward again, seemingly fearless! Their attack grew increasingly ferocious!

"Damn it! There's a king among these earthworms!" A glint flashed in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes, and he immediately released his soul perception, probing out in the general direction of the sharp roar.

After absorbing the soul energy of the ancient powerhouse Zong Wuyai, Xiao Xuanyuan's soul level energy continued to improve. According to Zong Wuyai's memory of the soul level classification in the Heaven, Earth, Profound and Yellow, he climbed all the way from the top level of the Yellow Rank to the current low level of the Earth Rank. His soul level is now completely different from before. If we really want to compare, even compared with alchemists of the fifth or even sixth rank, he is not inferior, and may even be much stronger!

Even against those Dou Zong level experts who cannot cultivate their souls, Xiao Xuanyuan's soul could completely crush them. The Elf Queen Marina was the best example of this. Caught off guard, her soul, which was slightly stronger than Xiao Xuanyuan's, was crushed in a single blow by a sneak attack!

Having inherited Zong Wuyai's vast collection of memories, Xiao Xuanyuan now possesses the rare and exceptional skill of Soul Fighting Techniques. Furthermore, with Zong Wuyai's experience to share, even Marina, whose strength is at the Dou Zun level, was successfully ambushed in a moment of haste!

However, because there were so many dense swarms of earthworms in front of him, it was not easy for Xiao Xuanyuan to find the location of the earthworm king for the time being. He didn't know how the king of insects was hiding. Even with a soul strength of low-level earth rank, Xiao Xuanyuan had difficulty finding it. No wonder his master's jade slip emphasized this kind of troublesome magical beast!

Puff puff! Sizzle sizzle!

After killing more than twenty more earthworms, Xiao Xuanyuan lost his patience and did not want to continue to delay. Since he could not break through the encirclement on the ground for the time being, perhaps he could break through from the sky!

"Purple Cloud Wings, emerge!" With this thought, Xiao Xuanyuan's mind stirred, and like an eagle spreading its wings, a pair of magnificent purple wings appeared out of thin air on his back. He pushed off with his feet, stepped onto a huge branch, and his whole figure transformed into a purple rainbow. With his long purple cloud wings flapping, he flew out!

Purple Cloud Wings flapped their magical, long wings and soared through the sky. The cool feeling was quite nice, and Xiao Xuanyuan's depressed mood immediately improved a lot.

Before he could even catch his breath and fly out of the area covered by the ground worms, that familiar, piercing screech pierced the sky again, rushing towards him. Immediately afterward, the ground worms moved at the sound, stretching out their springy hind legs like locusts, tearing and slicing like countless sharp arrows, constantly piercing the sky and shooting towards him!

"Go to hell!" Seeing the dense swarm of green caterpillars shooting towards him, Xiao Xuanyuan's scalp tingled. He quickly turned his head to look, and saw that behind him, on both sides, and under his feet, there were also dense swarms of green caterpillars!

"Holy crap! This is going to kill me!" The situation is even worse than on the ground. Now, apart from the sky above his head, Xiao Xuanyuan has nowhere to escape!

Hearing the sharp whooshing sound of air being cut, Xiao Xuanyuan knew that at his current speed, he might not be able to escape the range of the earthworm's attack. After all, these magical beasts were too fast. The only way now was to kill them and land on the ground.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and he made up his mind immediately. Holding the top-tier Xuan-rank longsword, his fiery red battle aura rising, Xiao Xuanyuan fixed his gaze, flapped his Purple Cloud Wings, turned around, and charged towards the Green Earth Worm that shot down in front of him!

Whoosh! Sizzle!

With a single sword strike, he pierced through the bodies of more than ten earthworm demonic beasts. The sword was withdrawn in an instant, and the corpses fell into the air. With a flick of his wrist, another sword light flashed, unleashing a burst of fiery battle aura. In the blink of an eye, a wave of heat swept through, and a large area of ​​earthworms beneath his right hand, propelled forward, instantly turned to ash. A gust of wind blew, scattering the ashes across the sky and earth.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan transformed into a beast-slaying maniac once again. His figure rushed down the mountain, and the green worm demonic beasts that came towards him in mid-air fell down one after another, as if a rain of demonic beast corpses was falling from the sky, accompanied by a rain of green blood.

After killing nearly a hundred earthworms, Xiao Xuanyuan landed with some difficulty on a mountain of corpses piled up by earthworms, which was about seven or eight meters high. The corpses of the earthworms and other magical beasts that kept rushing upwards from the ground were all there.

Looking around at the mountains and plains still covered with earthworm demonic beasts, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes showed surprise and doubt. There were still so many, and he couldn't kill them all. How could he possibly escape?

With his hands moving continuously, Xiao Xuanyuan's face hardened. He had to fight his way out today no matter what. If he were to be worn down and killed here by these low-level magical beasts, it would be a laughing stock if word got out!

Unfortunately, ever since entering the area of ​​the Divine Medicine Pavilion, the old medicine master inside the ring has been silent. Xiao Xuanyuan kept sending his soul to the old medicine master, but there was no response. It seems that the restrictions here can completely sever his soul connection with the old medicine master, otherwise he would not have been unable to contact the old medicine master.

He could no longer rely on Elder Yao, so he had to rely on himself. Moreover, he couldn't depend on Elder Yao forever, as that would be detrimental to his growth. Xiao Xuanyuan's resolve hardened, and he wielded his longsword with even greater precision.

Since a breakthrough in the air is impossible, the only option is to force a breakthrough on the ground. Every time I kill these earthworms until they retreat in fear, the earthworm king will jump out and scream, causing the earthworms to continue their frenzied attack, showing no fear of death. It seems that the key to the breakthrough lies with this earthworm king.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan began to pay attention, releasing all his soul perception to scan and observe the unusual movements in all directions.

With a series of snapping sounds, after killing no less than a hundred more earthworm demonic beasts, the numerous earthworms in front of him were finally frightened and retreated, their faces showing fear. Just then, a sharp cry rang out from the northern corner of the densely packed earthworm demonic beasts, and Xiao Xuanyuan quickly moved his soul perception over there.
