The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Don't underestimate this seemingly thin bottleneck, like a window paper within reach. On the Dou Qi Continent, countless cultivators have stopped here. Without opportunities or external help, they can hardly break through to the Dou Wang level in their entire lives.

Now, in just two short years, Xiao Xuanyuan has broken through from the third stage of Dou Qi to Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, and finally reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Ling level. Such talent and achievements are enough to make him stand out among most of the strong people on the Dou Qi Continent. Don't forget, he has only just turned sixteen this year!

A sixteen-year-old nine-star Dou Ling powerhouse would be highly sought after by most forces if word got out!

Chapter 128 Leaving the Tower

Of the twelve phoenixes that emerged from the volcanic rock flames, six have been refined. Xiao Xuanyuan has essentially refined half of the volcanic rock flames. Now, his strength has increased by two stars, reaching the peak of the nine-star Dou Ling level!

Even at its peak, the volcanic rock flame couldn't harm him in the slightest; now, with only half its original power remaining, it's no match for Xiao Xuanyuan, even though the volcanic rock flame has transformed into a giant phoenix rising from the ashes.

After a rather troublesome battle, Xiao Xuanyuan captured the remaining half of the volcanic rock flame and absorbed it into his body to refine it.

The joints crackled and popped, the tendons and veins became increasingly resilient, and the dantian (energy center) expanded several times over.

One-Star Dou King!

Xiao Xuanyuan felt a surge of comfort throughout his body. After refining the volcanic stone flame, his gaze then turned to the "Wind Fury Dragon Flame," ranked eighteenth on the Strange Flame List.

Time flies outside, passing by in the blink of an eye. Nearly a year has passed since Xiao Xuanyuan entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion!

Within this year, there were winners of competitions every month, and alchemists continuously entered the world space where the Divine Medicine Pavilion was located and then came out. This never stopped. However, most people could not enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion and could only receive the alchemist inheritance in the outer world of the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

During this time, rumors about Xiao Xuanyuan continued to circulate. Some said he had already obtained the outer inheritance of the Divine Medicine Pavilion and teleported out, while others said he entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion and was trapped inside, unable to escape, perhaps even dying there. Some even believed that he did indeed enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion, but had long since emerged.

Rumors are rampant, but the Flower Fairy, who had already left the Divine Medicine Pavilion and returned to the Alchemy Valley to cultivate, had not received any news from Xiao Xuanyuan.

The Alchemy Valley is an extremely vast and expansive region. Despite being called a valley, it represents a branch of Canaan Academy, primarily responsible for refining elixirs for the entire academy. Therefore, its territory is roughly the size of a province or city in the Gama Empire. If a Dou Wang level expert were to fly through the sky and observe from above, they would see an endless expanse of lush greenery, with shady trees, dense forests, and towering mountains. Countless rare and precious herbs and fragrant medicinal plants are scattered throughout, creating a vibrant and beautiful landscape.

In a secluded valley far from the center of the Alchemy Valley, there is beautiful scenery, babbling brooks, birdsong and fragrant flowers. In front of a shimmering mountain lake, a unique little courtyard stands quietly. This is where Xiao Xuanyuan's senior sister, Flower Fairy, lives.

It was three months after the Flower Fairy left the Divine Medicine Pavilion. A graceful figure was watering the potted flowers in the courtyard with a watering can, looking quite content. However, a trace of melancholy lingered between her brows.

Just then, a three- or four-year-old child suddenly hopped out of the house, ran happily to her side, reached out his little hand to tug at her flowery skirt, and called out in a childish voice, "Mommy, where did my daddy go? Why hasn't he come to see me yet?"

Upon hearing this, the woman, with her ethereal气质 and celestial beauty, snapped out of her daze. She knelt down, picked up the chubby, somewhat adorable little boy, and said gently, "When Daddy has time, he will come to see you."

If Xiao Xuanyuan were here, he would be surprised that his beloved senior sister, Fairy Flower, already had a child after only a year apart.

As the woman played with the little boy, she sighed with a hint of melancholy, "It's been years, why haven't I heard from you yet? Are you still in the Divine Medicine Pavilion?"

At another location, next to the residence Xiao Xuanyuan had built upon entering the Alchemy Valley, Zhao Zhilan was also waiting for his news. Half a year ago, she too had been given the opportunity to enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion, though she hadn't been able to enter its interior, only receiving the inheritance from its outer perimeter. Nevertheless, she was content. After just one year of practice, she had advanced to a third-grade alchemist, capable of refining some ordinary third-grade pills for Canaan Academy.

Similarly, on a mountain peak in the Alchemy Valley where only elders could reside, a graceful figure in blue silently gazed in the direction of Divine Medicine Peak. "It's been so long, is that brat still trying to break through in the Divine Medicine Pavilion?"

Before the palace halfway up the mountain, a slender and elegant figure in blue slowly moved to the edge of the steep cliff, gazing into the distance. "Alas, back then, I only reached the fifth level. I not only obtained a powerful fire seed and cultivation technique, but also top-quality spiritual herbs, which allowed my strength to advance by leaps and bounds to where I am today. Xiao Xuanyuan, how far can you go?"

The gaze shifted, traversing mountains, rivers, and valleys, until it reached an inconspicuous little hill. Entering a small wooden house on the hill, one could see a tall and upright figure sitting cross-legged on the bed, his body radiating a fiery red aura of heat, even causing the surrounding space to appear dimly distorted.

After an unknown amount of time, the figure suddenly opened his eyes. A fiery red blur flashed within them, and the surrounding aura exploded, overturning tables, chairs, teapots, and cups. The young and vigorous figure muttered, "Xiao Xuanyuan, how long are you going to hide in the Alchemy Valley? Sooner or later, I will find you."

"Now that you have inherited and refined my Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, your strength has reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm. As long as you cultivate diligently and use elixirs, you will surely become a Dou Wang within a year!"

An aged and sinister voice drifted from the bone-patterned storage ring, reaching Xiao Yan's ears, "Now that you have inherited the Crimson Lotus Karmic Flame, ranked eighth on the Strange Flame Ranking, as for that brat named Xiao Xuanyuan you mentioned, hehehe, just kill him."

"I definitely will, for Xun'er!"

The boy's voice was hoarse and deep, yet extremely firm. He could never forget that figure, that hateful face and smile. "You stole my mother's belongings and Xun'er, and drove my father off the position of clan leader. Did you think that would make me forgive you?!"

The boy, hidden in the shadows, reached out and slowly stroked the incredibly heavy Xuanzhong Ruler on his back.

On this very day, the entire Alchemy Valley shook violently, jolting all the alchemists awake from their cultivation. Simultaneously, countless bolts of lightning flashed atop Divine Medicine Mountain, their crackling thunder echoing across the sky and earth, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the valley.

"What on earth is going on? For thousands of years, the Alchemy Valley has never experienced such an anomaly. Could it be that something went wrong in the Divine Medicine Pavilion?" On an extremely high mountain peak that reached into the clouds, the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Divine Medicine Peak.

"Such a commotion, I guess I have to go check it out!"

A sudden glint of light flashed in Zhang Cangwu's aged eyes. He abruptly stood up, walked out of the palace, and soared into the air, heading towards the Divine Medicine Peak.

Not only him, but the other four elders of the Alchemy Valley, Huo Rong and others also went to Divine Medicine Peak to find out what was going on after hearing the commotion.

Outside the Divine Medicine Pavilion, groups of alchemist disciples were awakened by the commotion above the pavilion and withdrew from the "Mirror of Celestial Phenomena." They saw that on the top of the Divine Medicine Pavilion tower, lightning from the heavens appeared like giant dragons, causing turbulence throughout the entire illusory space, crackling and deafening.

"What's going on? Is this virtual world about to collapse?"

"Possibly! Elder Tianqi didn't tell us about this before we came in."

"Then what should we do? Should we activate the talisman and escape now?"

"Let's see how it goes first. If it really doesn't work, then we can activate our own runes!"

The many alchemist disciples who entered the Divine Medicine Pavilion were discussing and whispering among themselves, talking about the changes that had occurred in the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

"Olive, let's go!"

The eighth floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion is a vast and boundless place, with dense forests that tower into the clouds. It is enormous and cannot be seen at a glance. Countless huge primeval forests stand on this horizon, and even the vines are as thick as a bowl. This is a truly wild world and continent.

It was dusk, and countless demonic beasts surged and roared across the sky and earth, their battle cries echoing everywhere.

After spending more than a month on this wild continent, Xiao Xuanyuan prepared to leave. Looking at the patches and clusters of spiritual herbs that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old in the distance, Xiao Xuanyuan could only smile bitterly. Now, his two storage rings and the ring space where Yao Lao was located were all filled with countless bottles and jars, as well as spiritual herbs and plants that were hundreds of thousands of years old. Moreover, he had used the vines and giant leaves here to weave several huge bundles, all filled with spiritual herbs and plants that were tens of thousands or even thousands of years old. He could no longer carry them.

Not only that, but Chen Ya, who was following him, was also carrying a full load of spiritual herbs and plants, and "Xue Bao" was running behind him.

During this period, Xiao Xuanyuan refined the volcanic stone flame, ranked seventeenth on the Strange Flame Ranking, and the wind-raging dragon flame, ranked eighteenth, on the third level. His strength soared all the way up. After devouring half of the volcanic stone flame, he reached the peak level of the nine-star Dou Ling. After devouring the remaining volcanic stone flame, he directly broke through the peak level of the nine-star Dou Ling and reached the peak level of the two-star Dou Wang.

After absorbing the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, he had already reached the peak of the Seven Star Battle King level. He broke through the tower and overcame all obstacles. He participated in the cultivation technique competition on the fourth floor, various body tempering exercises on the fifth floor, the "shadow" battle on the sixth floor, the soul perception challenge "elixir" on the seventh floor, and finally arrived at this Wild World Continent on the eighth floor. He broke through layer after layer of obstacles and came all the way here.

During this period, the most difficult times were the fifth level of body tempering and the sixth level of the "shadow" battle, as well as the near-death experience of being ambushed by the Dream Demon Queen on the third level. However, he got through it all. Xiao Xuanyuan slowly exhaled and took the lead in stepping into the space wormhole that appeared in the sky.

"Chenya, Xuebao, let's go!"

---Aside---

This chapter is a surprise, with over three thousand words!

Chapter 129 The Origin of Olaf

"Woof woof! Hehe!"

Its fur was snow-white as brocade, and it was as big as a Tibetan Mastiff, reaching up to an adult's thigh. Its big ears drooped, its mouth was wide open, and it was panting with its long tongue sticking out. Its big eyes were staring intently at Xiao Xuanyuan, and its fluffy tail kept wagging at him to show its affection. This was Xiao Xuanyuan's new favorite, named "Xuebao".

Seeing the little guy's cute and cheerful antics, Xiao Xuanyuan called out, and the little guy obediently ran to his side, shaking his big head and playing happily.

"Little one, are you hungry? Here you go."

Xiao Xuanyuan casually took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring, uncorked it, and tossed out two snow-white, round pills that emitted a faint fragrance. Xuebao leaped into the air, swallowed the pills, and jumped five or six meters high.

"I told you not to be naughty, why do you always jump so high?"

Xiao Xuanyuan patted the little guy's head helplessly, showing his doting affection.

Xuebao was a spirit pet he tamed on the seventh floor, which could be considered his reward. On the seventh floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion, alchemists were required to pass a test of their soul perception strength and search for treasures and items within a radius of one million zhang, two million zhang, ten million zhang, ninety million zhang, and ten hundred million zhang.

The test is divided into four levels, from one million zhang to ten million zhang, ranked from highest to lowest according to the cultivation levels of the Dou Qi Continent: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Those who pass the test will receive varying final rewards.

One million to five million zhang is the lowest passing level, which is the Yellow level; five million to twenty million zhang is the Xuan level; twenty million to seventy million zhang is the Earth level; and seventy million to one hundred million zhang is the highest level, the Heaven level.

The minimum requirement for advancing from the seventh to the eighth level is to use one's soul perception to search for the "treasure" recognized by the assessment criteria within a short period of time, and it must be within a radius of 20 million feet of the highest level. If one fails to pass this test, one will only receive a specific reward and be ruthlessly kicked out of the tower by the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

Finally, Xiao Xuanyuan narrowly passed the highest level test of 70 million zhang, and received the highest reward, "Snow Treasure." In fact, when the guardian of the seventh level introduced "Snow Treasure," Xiao Xuanyuan was immediately taken aback. "Snow Treasure" was originally a top-grade pill of the half-step Emperor level, which had already surpassed the level of a ninth-grade Golden Core top-grade pill. In the hands of the guardian of the seventh level, it transformed into a snow-white fur spirit pet that looked like a Tibetan Mastiff.

"You remember, this ninth-grade golden pill, the peak of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor Blood Pill, is also known as a half-step Emperor-grade pill. I will now transform it into a spirit pet to follow you. As long as you carry it with you when you are refining pills, it can help you improve the success rate of refining pills and the quality of the pills."

Xiao Xuanyuan still remembered that the guardian of the seventh floor was a wisp of ethereal smoke and spirit. When he struck down with his palm, the "Heavenly Dragon Emperor Blood Pill," which was perfectly round and translucent, with wisps of gold in its bright red exterior and an endless fragrance lingering around it, instantly transformed into a huge snow-white dog. Then, the guardian grabbed a drop of Xiao Xuanyuan's heart's blood and merged it into the forehead of this snow-white dog. After a series of complicated hand seals, it recognized him as its master.

"Do not take this pill before you reach the peak of the six-star Dou Sheng level. If you reach the peak of the nine-star Dou Sheng level, and if you have the opportunity, you may be able to further refine this pill into a complete Emperor-grade pill, which can help you achieve the position of Dou Di in one fell swoop!"

Looking at the cute and lively Xuebao in front of him, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes were momentarily dazed. The minimum standard for taking this medicine was to reach the peak of the six-star Dou Sheng level. What level was he at now? He was still a long way from that.

In the end, Xiao Xuanyuan gave up on challenging the highest-level Heaven-level soul perception test. He discovered that after barely passing the highest-level Earth-level test, his soul perception was exhausted. Pale-faced, he could barely stand. Therefore, he had no choice but to give up the highest-level Heaven-level soul perception test.

Due to his outstanding performance on the seventh floor, he reached the wild and boundless world of the eighth floor. The Divine Medicine Pavilion allowed him to stay there for a month and a half. If he could not find the key to the ninth floor during this period, he would not be able to advance any further. The minimum requirement to enter the ninth floor was that the alchemist must refine an eighth-grade pill!

Even with this endless, wild world continent as his foundation and countless experiments with spiritual herbs and medicines that were thousands or tens of thousands of years old, Xiao Xuanyuan was unable to advance to the eighth-grade alchemist level in a short time through continuous alchemy. However, he still made considerable progress. In the process of constantly refining medicine, his alchemy skills reached the peak of the sixth grade.

In other words, he can refine ordinary sixth-grade pills with great ease and a high success rate. Even the highest-quality sixth-grade pills are within his grasp. He can successfully refine seven or eight out of ten rare and precious medicinal materials. This shows how difficult it is to improve one's alchemy skills. It can be said that every advanced alchemist is built upon countless rare and precious materials.

Moreover, even highly skilled alchemists, when using the rarest spiritual herbs and elixirs, still have a considerable chance of failure, let alone an alchemist like Xiao Xuanyuan who possesses several different kinds of strange flames that can increase the success rate of alchemy.

After eating the pills that Xiao Xuanyuan threw to it, Xuebao's somewhat tired appearance vanished, its eyes became brighter, and it barked even more happily. Even with a large primitive bundle woven from big leaves and vines on its back, it still circled around him as if it were flat ground, full of energy and constantly frolicking.

"We're leaving!"

After calling out to Chen Ya, Xiao Xuanyuan, along with Xue Bao, entered the enormous void gate that appeared in the sky. This was a passage leading to the outside world of the Divine Medicine Pavilion. Inside, it was a deep, dark place, connected to the endless dark void, and resembled a huge vortex beast that was ready to devour anyone at any moment.

After Xiao Xuanyuan and Xuebao jumped in, Chen Ya followed closely behind. The two people and the beast quickly entered the void gate. A moment later, after Xiao Xuanyuan and the others entered, the dark void gate immediately closed and disappeared from the spot.

As soon as he entered the void gate, a strong sense of dizziness and disorientation struck him, making Xiao Xuanyuan feel drowsy. His eyelids trembled, and he immediately bit his tongue. The pain brought him back to his senses, but an extremely strong void force swept over him, as if it wanted to tear his body apart.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed a pale yellow halo surrounding him and Chen Yaxuebao. The halo, seemingly thin and fragile, effectively weakened the surrounding dark void turbulence and the power of void devouring, keeping it at bay. Only a tiny, extremely weak trace of void power could penetrate the yellow halo. This weak power was barely perceptible; a mere flick of Xiao Xuanyuan's internal fire battle qi, spreading it outwards, would neutralize and dispel it.

Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Chen Ya beside him, but she was completely unharmed, simply following closely beside him with her eyes fixed straight ahead. Xue Bao also obediently leaned against him, seemingly unaffected in the slightest.

The journey through the endless dark void was short, lasting only a few breaths. Before Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes flashed, countless streams of colorful light appeared in the blink of an eye, and the two of them and their spirit pet instantly appeared on the top of a small, lush green hillside.

"Phew! Finally out!"

Chapter 130 Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies

"What fresh air! It's been so long, tens of thousands of years! I've finally returned to the Dou Qi Continent!"

As soon as she stepped out, she was greeted by an extremely pure and refreshing scent that made her feel invigorated. Yan Ya couldn't help but greedily inhale the scent for a long time.

"Ya'er, from now on, you can stay in the Dou Qi Continent for a long time and be this free every day."

Standing atop the small hill, Xiao Xuanyuan turned his head and smiled at her.

"Hmm." Yan Ya nodded with a somber expression.

Seeing Yan Ya's reaction, Xiao Xuanyuan sighed inwardly. He didn't want this to happen either, but since it had already occurred, he had no choice but to accept it.

Back when he was still on the third floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion, Xiao Xuanyuan spent a tremendous amount of effort to finally swallow the volcanic stone flame and the wind-fury dragon flame, which were ranked seventeenth and eighteenth on the Strange Flame Ranking. After refining them all, his strength rose from the peak of the nine-star Dou Ling to the peak of the two-star Dou Wang level. Under the refinement of the wind-fury dragon flame, he climbed all the way up from the peak of the two-star Dou Wang level to the powerful strength of the nine-star Dou Wang level. It was truly a leap forward in a day. His joints crackled and popped, making Xiao Xuanyuan feel extremely comfortable. He couldn't help but let out a long roar to express his joy.

His actions immediately caused fluctuations throughout the entire third layer of the magma ocean. Countless erupting volcanoes withered, the magma ocean gradually cooled down, and the seawater receded. It seemed to have triggered a chain reaction, and the extremely abundant fire spiritual energy in the entire third layer of the world continued to weaken, as if it was waning.

His soul perception spread out like a tide, and even though Xiao Xuanyuan was slow to react, he seemed to guess what had happened. Because of his actions, he had devoured and refined both strange flames in succession. This third-level magma ocean world had lost its source of fire energy, and it was only being consumed without being replenished. Therefore, the originally abundant fire spiritual energy in this world was constantly weakening.
