The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Can one enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion at any time? Or is it a pass?

Hearing such a great temptation, Xiao Xuanyuan was honestly already tempted. "You mean, this Heavenly Spirit Pearl allows its owner to enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion anytime, anywhere? Like, without any regional or geographical restrictions?"

"No, only by entering the illusory space of the Divine Medicine Pavilion can one enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion anytime and anywhere," the ethereal voice explained.

"However, if you can obtain the core source energy cluster of the ninth floor and fuse it with the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, you can enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion even in the outside world, and you can also freely switch to enter any level of the tower world."

Upon hearing that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl had such an effect, Xiao Xuanyuan was completely tempted. However, when he thought about having to go to the eighth level of the Primordial World to find rare, even Saint-level, spiritual herbs and elixirs for Elder Yao, he still hesitated.

"What will happen if you fail the Heavenly-level assessment?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't suppress his question and asked it.

"The time spent in the eighth layer of the world will be halved!" the ethereal voice continued to reply.

"If I were to enter the eighth level of the world now, how long could I stay?"

"One month."

"Last time it was clearly a month and a half, why is it only a month this time?" Xiao Xuanyuan wondered.

"Passing the Yellow-level assessment allows you to stay for five days, the Profound-level assessment allows you to stay for ten days, and the Earth-level assessment allows you to stay for one month. Last time you accumulated a month and a half, but this time you're back, so it can only be considered that you passed the Earth-level assessment. Therefore, you only have one month!" The ethereal voice was almost emotionless, yet patiently explained.

"I see. So, if we get the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, how can we enter the ninth level? And how can we fuse the Origin Qi cluster with the Heavenly Spirit Pearl?" Xiao Xuanyuan was still unwilling to give up. In any case, the more he learned, the better his chances of success would be.

"Find the Kunlun Mountains on the eighth level, which is the pillar of the world. Climb to the top of the Kunlun Mountains and enter the depths of the endless void to reach the ninth level of the tower. Those without the Heavenly Spirit Pearl will surely die if they cross the top of the Kunlun Mountains."

The ethereal, otherworldly voice echoed endlessly once more.

Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes were filled with struggle. The blood-red token on the sixth level could only be used once. This meant that if he left the Divine Medicine Pavilion this time, he would never be able to set foot in the Void Realm again. Otherwise, he would definitely be teleported out by the spatial rules the moment he stepped in, thus being unable to get close to the Divine Medicine Pavilion.

The remaining spiritual herbs and elixirs needed to revive Yao Lao are certainly available on the Primordial Continent of the Eighth Level, but that doesn't mean they aren't on the Dou Qi Continent. Since that's the case, it's better to take a gamble for the Heavenly Spirit Pearl. If the challenge fails, at most half the time spent on the Primordial Continent of the Eighth Level will be lost, but if successful…

A bright light burst forth from Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes!

Chapter Thirty-Four: Heavenly-Level Assessment

Due to the special existence of the spatial restrictions within the Divine Medicine Pavilion, it is currently impossible to contact Elder Yao and discuss the matter with him. Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan has no choice but to make the decision himself.

After a moment's consideration, Xiao Xuanyuan decided he had to take the plunge. If successful, the rewards would be immense.

Sometimes things are like this: when the potential gains are too great, the risks are equally significant. But you have to make a choice.

"Hmm, I choose to challenge the Heavenly-level assessment and seize the Heavenly Spirit Pearl!"

In the end, Xiao Xuanyuan made a decision and informed the tower spirit on the seventh floor.

"The Heavenly-level assessment requires you to search for a lost pearl within a range of 70 million to 100 million zhang!"

Upon hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's request, the tower spirit conjured a pale yellow pearl the size of a longan in the void in front of him. Most notably, this small pearl was perfectly round, with faint pale white light patterns engraved on it.

"Wow! It's so small? Last time, the items we were searching for in the 20 million to 70 million zhang range during the prefecture-level assessment were the size of a fist!"

Upon seeing this tiny pearl, no bigger than a longan, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes widened in disbelief. Seventy million to ten million zhang—that's equivalent to searching for a pearl the size of a longan within a range of several million meters. Isn't that like finding a needle in a haystack?!

Xiao Xuanyuan was on the verge of a breakdown.

You only have one day!

The ethereal, otherworldly voice drifted over coldly.

"Wow! Last time, the prefecture-level assessment lasted three days. This heaven-level assessment requires finding something so small, and there's only one day. It's harder than finding a needle in a haystack!"

No matter how much Xiao Xuanyuan vented his dissatisfaction, the Heavenly-level assessment had already been set. If he couldn't find it, he would be forced to reduce his time in the eighth layer of the Primordial Continent by half a month.

If he finds it, it means he can enter the Divine Medicine Pavilion at any time, stay as long as he wants, and go to whichever world he wants.

This temptation is incredibly strong!

Therefore, not a minute could be wasted, so Xiao Xuanyuan immediately turned around to search and released his soul perception to the maximum extent!

The environment of the seventh layer of the world is similar to that of the Dou Qi Continent, with endless land, forests, grasslands, mountains, deserts and other landscapes.

However, for the purpose of the level assessment, the tower spirit will actively cover the entire world within a specific area. If you go outside the boundary of the assessment area, there will be a white misty world outside, making it impossible for the examinee to see any objects and use their soul perception.

Therefore, Xiao Xuanyuan was not afraid. As he searched, he eventually found his way out of the designated area for the assessment!

In fact, this Heavenly-level assessment has become significantly more difficult. Finding a pearl the size of a longan within a range of millions of meters requires an immense level of spiritual perception. This is a challenge that no ordinary alchemist can successfully complete!

In the last regional assessment, which covered a distance of 20 million to 70 million zhang, the object they were looking for was still the size of a fist. Xiao Xuanyuan almost exhausted his soul perception power to find it. This time, the difficulty is far too great!

The thing we're looking for is too small! And the time has been shortened from three days to one day, making the challenge even greater!

This is equivalent to searching for a pearl the size of a longan on the ground in a large province; you can imagine how difficult that is!

But none of that mattered anymore. Xiao Xuanyuan could only unleash his full soul perception to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area!

"This piece isn't available, and this piece isn't available either."

Xiao Xuanyuan's brows furrowed into a deep frown. After an hour of searching, the area, about the size of a county, had been searched, but nothing was found!

"At this rate, even if we were given three days, we wouldn't be able to find the entire area. Finding it would depend entirely on luck!"

Xiao Xuanyuan pondered deeply for a moment, while continuing to search the surrounding area to the maximum extent of his soul perception!

Half an hour passed, and Xiao Xuanyuan had searched an area about the size of a county, an area he hadn't thoroughly explored before.

In less than half an hour, another county had been searched.

Fifteen minutes later, he quickly browsed through another county, and then another county. Xiao Xuanyuan still felt it was too slow, so he simply increased the speed. He searched for two counties in fifteen minutes and then three counties in fifteen minutes.

Another half hour passed, and he had only searched ten counties and districts so far.

The speed is still too slow!

With gritted teeth, Xiao Xuanyuan continued to accelerate!

Find the area of ​​five counties/districts in fifteen minutes. Otherwise, you won't finish before the time runs out!

Here, a quarter of an hour equals fifteen minutes, half a quarter of an hour equals one hour, which is four quarters of an hour, and one quarter of an hour equals eight quarters of an hour. There are twelve quarters of an hour in a day, which is twenty-four hours.

Three hours have passed, and they have already searched thirty counties and districts.

There are nine hours remaining.

With only about two hundred counties and districts remaining, Xiao Xuanyuan had no choice but to accelerate the process again.

A quarter of an hour, the area of ​​ten counties and districts.

In a quarter of an hour, the area of ​​fifteen counties and districts was covered!

In a quarter of an hour, the area of ​​twenty counties and districts was covered!

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his soul perception had been released to its maximum range. Countless scene images, like satellites in the sky, flashed rapidly through his mind, passing by like lightning.

This is already Xiao Xuanyuan's maximum browsing speed!

An ordinary person can make out three to four rapidly flashing satellite images per second, but Xiao Xuanyuan can scan hundreds to thousands of satellite images in a single second. The images flashing through his mind at lightning speed are like satellite images, and Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes have turned blood red. This is because he has reached his limit and his brain is operating beyond its capacity.

In a quarter of an hour, the area of ​​another twenty counties and districts was scanned by his soul perception as quickly as a satellite image, faster than a computer!

An hour passed, and the area of ​​another 120 counties and districts had been viewed.

Finally, before an hour had passed, the area of ​​the remaining hundred-plus counties and districts had been viewed.

Within five hours, Xiao Xuanyuan had searched the entire area, which was equivalent to the size of a large province, and covered an area of ​​more than 280 counties!

This terrifying soul perception and browsing speed is unmatched. Only a soul at the mid-stage of the Heaven Realm like Xiao Xuanyuan can do it. If it were a spirit realm alchemist, let alone a day, he wouldn't be able to finish reading the entire area of ​​the Heaven-level assessment even in three days.

However, despite having explored the entire area, we still couldn't find that pale yellow pearl the size of a longan!

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Soul Tracking Method for Finding Lost Items

Xiao Xuanyuan rubbed his temples vigorously with both hands!

He felt like his head was about to explode!

To search an entire region, roughly the size of a province, using one's soul perception within such a short span of five hours is an incredibly terrifying expenditure of one's soul perception!

Xiao Xuanyuan now only had one feeling: a strong buzzing sound in his head, which meant that his soul perception was about to be completely exhausted!

"Never mind, let's recover our depleted soul perception first!"

Xiao Xuanyuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and almost fell down. He could only sit cross-legged and begin to cultivate his soul technique, the "Nine Profound Techniques of Heavenly Spirit".

Cultivation techniques can be categorized into several types. One type involves cultivating the dantian (energy center) and circulating qi throughout the body to achieve physical strength, longevity, and the ability to command and control. This qi can also be channeled into weapons for combat.

When one reaches a high level, the accumulation of this power can reach a high degree, enabling one to move mountains and overturn seas, and fly through the sky and escape into the earth!

Secondly, cultivators cultivate their souls; the physical body is merely a vessel for the soul. Even without a physical body, the soul can continue to exist, and it can also possess another's body and be reborn.

The soul is the root of a cultivator!

If the first method of cultivation is Qi, which is fighting Qi, then the second method is Ling, the soul, which is a person's root.

However, there is a third method of cultivation, which cultivates the physical body. This method takes a special and unconventional path, following the path of physical immortality. This path is also the most difficult to walk!

In ancient times, no one on the Dou Qi Continent cultivated this path anymore, which can be considered as the abandonment and the interruption of the inheritance!

However, Xiao Xuanyuan inherited and devoured the memories of the ancient powerhouse Zong Wuyai, so he also possessed this cultivation technique.

However, his cultivation is not yet deep enough. If he could truly cultivate to a high level, his body would be equivalent to a divine weapon, capable of easily splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

After cultivating the soul technique of the Nine Profound Heavenly Spirits, the dark soul deep in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind gradually began to shine. Zong Wuyai's soul strength was incredibly powerful, and even with Xiao Xuanyuan's constant absorption day and night, he was still unable to fully learn and absorb it.

His soul had already reached the Emperor Realm level, enough to support Xiao Xuanyuan's soul growth to the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm. Until he reaches that level, it seems he won't have to worry about the source of his soul energy!

The stages of soul cultivation are divided into four levels: Mortal Realm, Spiritual Realm, Celestial Realm, and Emperor Realm. Each realm is further divided into four sub-levels: Low, Middle, High, and Great Perfection.

Currently in the Dou Qi Continent, only a small portion of the Soul Clan's cultivation techniques for cultivating the soul have been preserved. However, relying solely on these soul cultivation techniques, the Soul Clan has continuously produced powerful high-level experts.

This is why the Soul Clan established the Soul Palace, set up branch palaces all over the Dou Qi Continent, and captured high-level soul entities everywhere. The Soul Clan captures these powerful soul entities in order to devour and absorb their energy, thereby rapidly increasing their strength!

The Heavenly Spirit Nine Profound Technique is the soul cultivation method of the ancient array master Zong Wuyai. Naturally, it should not be underestimated. It is an indisputable Heavenly Rank technique. Not only is the cultivation speed fast and the absorption of other people's soul power fast, but the risk of side effects is also much smaller compared to Earthly Rank, Profound Rank, and Yellow Rank techniques.

To put it simply, Yellow-rank cultivation techniques are like a 2G network and an old-fashioned mobile phone—not only are they slow and laggy, but they're also incredibly difficult to use. Profound-rank cultivation techniques are like a 3G network and a mobile phone, much better than Yellow-rank techniques. Earth-rank cultivation techniques are like a 4G network and a smartphone—far more user-friendly. And Heaven-rank cultivation techniques are like a 5G network and an even more optimized super smartphone—simply amazing compared to Earth-rank techniques.

Therefore, the recovery speed of the Heavenly Rank Soul Technique, the Nine Profound Heavenly Spirits Technique, which Xiao Xuanyuan is currently cultivating, is also extremely astonishing!

After about two hours, Xiao Xuanyuan's soul perception returned to its peak state!
