Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

Xiao Yan believed that since Lin Dong said that, it meant that Lin Dong had found a way to obtain enough Nirvana Pills. As an outsider, he could only choose to follow Lin Dong. However, the word "name" in Lin Dong's second half of the sentence made Xiao Yan hesitate for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously turned to the demon beast that looked like a fire python tiger next to Lin Dong.

"That's Xiao Yan!"

After rubbing Xiao Yan's tiger head, Lin Dong revealed a bright smile.

Whether Lin Dong was making fun of himself or it was simply an accident, Xiao Yan showed a look of disgust.

After explaining that before he met Xiao Yan... or rather, before he arrived at Douluo Continent, Lin Dong had already named this mutated fire python tiger Xiao Yan, Lin Dong also told Xiao Yan that one of the purposes of his trip was the Creation Stone Tablet, which was a treasure passed down from a great sect. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be a large number of Nirvana Pills at the location of the Creation Stone Tablet.

"Even if there aren't any there, the ancient battlefield where the Hundred Dynasties War will be held two years from now will have plenty of Nirvana Pills that can be directly absorbed with just a little filtering," Lin Dong shrugged. "At that time, we can absorb Nirvana Qi freely, but we'll have to live frugally until then."

Xiao Yan sighed. How could this be summed up in mere financial hardship? If he couldn't find a large number of Nirvana Pills, would he really have to stay in the Creation Realm for two years?

"Is there really no other way?"

"Yes, there are, but they're a bit unethical," Lin Dong said after thinking for a moment upon hearing Xiao Yan's question.

"Immoral?"

“The Great Yan Dynasty is only a low-level dynasty, so its strongest members are merely Nirvana Realm cultivators who haven’t yet transcended the Nirvana Tribulation,” Lin Dong explained. “However, outside of the Great Yan Dynasty, there are intermediate, advanced, and super dynasties, and the strongest members of these dynasties are at most at the Life Profound Realm…”

"I understand." Hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood why Lin Dong had said it was "a bit immoral."

"As long as the sect where that Creation Stone Stele is located doesn't have enough Nirvana Pills, I'll go and fleece those dynasties!" Xiao Yan made his cultivation plan with a determined look in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, are you planning to keep this Thunder Source Crystal Beast indefinitely?"

After a helpless smile, Lin Dong saw his little Yan staring longingly at the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, while the Thunder Source Crystal Beast cowered behind Xiao Yan. It seemed that although Xiao Yan was stronger than the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, Xiao Yan's voracious appetite had frightened it. Of course, the main reason was that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were both present, and the Thunder Source Crystal Beast knew that it couldn't do anything.

"After all, she can absorb pill lightning. Once she's stronger, I won't have to worry about dealing with the pill lightning when she's refining high-level pills," Xiao Yan said with a casual smile. "By the way, the pill we just refined was a Transformation Pill. Does Xiao Yan need it?"

"Transformation Pill?" Lin Dong blinked. He remembered that this kind of pill could transform magical beasts... or rather, demonic beasts in the Tianxuan Continent, into human form, and give them the cultivation speed of humans.

'The Stupid Tiger doesn't really need that,' Lin Dong hadn't made a decision yet when Little Marten sent a message from behind the stone talisman. 'It's already at the Creation Realm, and when it reaches the Nirvana Realm, it will be able to directly transform into human form. Besides, I'm not sure if the Stupid Tiger can still change its bones after taking the Transformation Pill.'

'Bone replacement?' Lin Dong was somewhat puzzled.

"Beasts can fuse with the bloodlines of higher-level beasts through bone transformation," Little Marten explained. "The Stupid Tiger's bloodline is too mediocre. Even with its rare mutated physique, it will be greatly limited in the future. If it wants to truly become powerful, bone transformation is a path it must take."

The Ancient Battlefield is a special space created by a super sect in the Eastern Xuan Region. Judging from their situation and that of our demon race, there must be many high-level tiger demon beasts in the Ancient Battlefield. If this stupid tiger cannot change its bones after taking the Transformation Pill, its future will be ruined.

Of course, if you want him to stay in the Great Yan Dynasty, you could try the Transformation Pill.

After listening to Xiao Diao's explanation, Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, "Let me ask Xiao Yan first..."

Xiao Yan blinked, looking curious.

Lin Dong sighed helplessly and repeated what Xiao Diao had said before. After finishing, he looked at Xiao Yan and asked, "Xiao Yan, do you want to stay in the Great Yan Dynasty, or leave with me?"

The little flame tiger's eyes gleamed, and it certainly understood what Lin Dong said. After its eyes lingered on Lin Dong for a moment, it let out a low roar.

Although they couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Yan's roar, both Lin Dong and Xiao Yan understood Xiao Yan's choice.

"So this Transformation Pill was refined for nothing?" Xiao Yan glanced at the Thunder Source Crystal Beast and saw that she also shrank her head, looking like she refused to take it. He sighed helplessly.

"Uh, actually, the Thunder Source Crystal Beast is already considered a high-level demon race, so there shouldn't be any problem consuming it directly..." Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before relaying Little Marten's words.

The Thunder Source Crystal Beast still refused, and she said that she was also in the Creation Realm and not far from the Nirvana Realm. What should she do if the number of Nirvana Pills needed to transform into human form increased significantly?

Upon hearing the question about the Thunder Source Crystal Beast, both Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, who were "impoverished and destitute," fell silent. In the end, they selectively forgot about the Transformation Pill.

Four months later

In a forest filled with milky white mist, two people and two beasts moved slowly forward.

Finally, one of them couldn't take it anymore—

"You're not lost, are you?" Xiao Yan looked at Lin Dong, who was leading the way, with a strange expression.

"No, I know this place. It's the eerie forest on the edge of the Great Wilderness County. As long as we go out from here, we'll be able to see the Great Wilderness County!" Lin Dong's body stiffened for a moment, then he laughed and said.

“But we’ve been wandering around here for almost two hours!” Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said.

"It'll only take two hours, anyway, there's still some time before the Creation Stone Monument is opened..."

"Time is running out!" Xiao Yan said irritably. "You need to train your body and I need to refine pills along the way. Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan need to recover their bodies after consuming the pills and lightning. It has already taken four months just to cross four prefectures!"

Xiao Yuan, that's the name Xiao Yan gave the Thunder Source Crystal Beast these past few months, although he initially planned to call her Silver Scale...

"That's still a few months away!" Lin Dong muttered, then finally gave up on relying on the map to find his way. He released his mental energy directly, and the white mist around him that could suppress mental energy had no effect.

"There are people up ahead, let's go ask them for directions!"

Just when Xiao Yan thought Lin Dong was about to use his mental power to find a way out, Lin Dong suddenly walked to the right.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan, who felt that Lin Dong's skin seemed to be getting thicker and thicker lately, followed after him. Anyway, it was just a forest, and it would only take a few hours at most. There wasn't much difference between finding the way himself or having someone else lead the way.

Chapter 233 Jiang Yinyin

"Where is this?"

Just as he took his first step, a seductive voice rang in Xiao Yan's ear.

After a brief pause, Xiao Yan continued walking forward, explaining in his mind to Queen Medusa, who had been 'unconscious' for over five months, 'The Tianxuan Continent is a world where Yuan Power is cultivated.'

'Tianxuan Continent? Yuan Power?' Medusa hesitated for a moment, 'The region inhabited by the barbarians in the southern part of the continent?'

"No, Yuanli is a completely different cultivation system from Dou Qi," Xiao Yan replied leisurely. "The Tianxuan Continent should be a world similar to the Dou Qi Continent. Moreover, in this world, the power of Dou Qi cannot be retained indefinitely. Now that Your Majesty has awakened, let's use this time to convert all the Dou Qi in Xiao Cai's body into Yuanli."

Queen Medusa, who had only awakened due to the continuous dissipation of her Dou Qi, paused slightly after hearing Xiao Yan's explanation. "Is there any possibility of returning?"

"Of course, coming to this continent... could be considered a bit of an accident," Xiao Yan thought for a moment, deciding to use the word "accident" to describe his arrival on the Tianxuan Continent. "I should be able to return in a few years."

'After we return, time will remain frozen at the point we arrived, so there's no need to worry too much about the snake-people.'

Queen Medusa didn't react much to the second half of Xiao Yan's sentence. After a long silence, she asked a question—

How can I convert the battle qi within my body into elemental energy?

'That's simple... I'll tell you later. In the meantime, just stay awake.'

Just as Xiao Yan was about to give his explanation, he noticed an unfamiliar figure appearing ahead. He immediately patted Xiao Yuan's head, turning her into the size of a normal cat, and then scooped her up and held her in his arms.

After making preparations, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong created a little commotion.

"Who is it?!"

Not long after the commotion was made, a middle-aged man's loud shout rang out from ahead. As the man shouted, the people around him hurriedly got up, grabbed their weapons, and looked nervously in the direction of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

Under their tense gazes, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong finally emerged slowly from the mist. Looking at the crowd who were like startled birds, Lin Dong scratched his head, "Everyone, don't panic. We just wandered in here by mistake and can't find our way out..."

“We were heading to the Great Wilderness County, but we didn’t know the terrain or map of the Misty Forest, so we got lost,” Xiao Yan suddenly said. “By the way, he was the one leading the way. He said he knew the way around here, but we couldn’t find our way out for a long time.”

"You can't blame me for this, can you? Who knew the fog here could block mental energy?" Lin Dong understood immediately and defended himself with a wry smile, "If mental energy could be used, who would be trapped here?"

"That's hard to say..." Xiao Yan muttered softly.

The two's seamless teamwork completely dispelled the wariness of the crowd in front of them, since the two young men who looked like disciples of a prominent family didn't seem like the kind of people who would attack them.

Especially when the middle-aged man found that he could not sense any threat from Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, and he could clearly perceive Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's Yuan Dan Realm Great Perfection strength.

"The two young brothers are holding..." But the middle-aged man still hesitated, after all, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were each holding a small demon beast, and the strength of the demon beast seemed to be less than the Earthly Origin Realm.

"The Fire Python Tiger is only a few days old." Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan stopped their "argument." Lin Dong picked up Xiao Yan in his arms and said.

"The Scaled Beast was found outside the Misty Forest." Since he couldn't reveal the Thunder Source Crystal Beast's identity, Xiao Yan reluctantly gave it the name of a demonic beast he'd seen outside the Misty Forest, the strongest of which was only at the Heavenly Origin Realm.

"I wonder if this brother could give us two a ride," Lin Dong said, clasping his hands in a fist salute after introducing Xiao Yan. "If we can leave safely, we will definitely give you a generous reward!"

"No, we don't take strangers. You'd better go on your own!" Before the middle-aged man could answer, a beautiful woman in the crowd walked up with a little girl and refused decisively.

"Sister, those two are lost..." the beautiful little girl whispered beside the woman.

After the little girl spoke, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's gazes lingered on her for a moment. Although they didn't know why, Xiao Yan, Lin Dong, Yao Lao, and Xiao Diao all felt that there was something strange about the little girl, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

After patting the little girl, the woman whispered to the middle-aged man, "Father, we're in a bad situation right now. The fact that they dared to come to the Misty Forest and even want to go to the Great Wilderness County means they must have powerful protectors behind them. If those two beasts find out..."

The middle-aged man nodded. Because they had provoked the Mist Leopard Crocodile King, the overlord of the Mist Forest, they were constantly worried that the beast couple would lead other beasts to attack. Even though the powerful figures behind the two were all at the Creation Realm, they could barely save their lives if attacked by the Mist Leopard Crocodile King, and the number of beasts they would have to face might be several times greater...

After a moment of contemplation, the middle-aged man's gaze fell on Xiao Yan and Lin Dong. "Young brothers, you must have heard what my daughter said. If you are not afraid of the danger, you can come with us."

"Father!" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the woman panicked and wanted to say a few more words, but the middle-aged man waved his hand to stop her.

"Thanks, brother!"

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong simultaneously bowed and expressed their gratitude. Even if all the demonic beasts in the Misty Forest attacked together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the two of them. Since the middle-aged man was willing to take them out, this small favor was naturally no problem, especially for Xiao Yan.

'Their group is probably at the low-level Dou Ling level, and the demonic beasts they provoked should be around the mid-level Dou Ling level, which is perfect for Your Majesty to exhaust all your Dou Qi,' Xiao Yan thought to himself.

"Can you only convert your battle qi into elemental power after you've exhausted it all?" Queen Medusa asked without any hesitation.

"That's the fastest way, at least that's how I did it," Xiao Yan replied. "After exhausting all my Dou Qi, it will take at most a little over a month to convert it back into Yuan Li."

'However, if possible, Your Majesty should not convert all of your battle aura into elemental power.'

As he spoke, Xiao Yan explained to Queen Medusa the importance of Nirvana Qi to the Nirvana Realm.

Having learned about the Nirvana Realm and Nirvana Qi, Queen Medusa naturally understood the benefits this realm would bring to the Seven-Colored Devouring Python and herself, thus tacitly agreeing to the suggestion not to convert all her battle qi into elemental power.

"The surnames of the two young men..."

After the middle-aged man introduced himself and his background, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan also introduced themselves. Jiang Lei, the middle-aged man, understood that they did not mention their factions, but he was a little confused because the two had different surnames.

"We met on the road, and since we got along well, we traveled together," Lin Dong said with a casual smile.

"The only thing we're not quite ready for is to become sworn brothers," Xiao Yan said, putting a hand on Lin Dong's shoulder. "Ah, seriously, how about we become sworn brothers?"

"No need," Lin Dong raised his hand to refuse, "This is fine as it is."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan shrugged and smiled helplessly at Jiang Lei.

Seeing this, Jiang Lei laughed and turned to arrange personnel in his team. His eldest daughter glanced at the two of them with some annoyance, then followed Jiang Lei to help him organize the team.

"Big brother, they are both so cute!"

However, the little girl next to them, who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, showed no aversion to Xiao Yan and Lin Dong. She even stared at the two little beasts in Xiao Yan and Lin Dong's arms with her big, bright eyes.

"Here, let me give you a hug." Looking at the little girl, Lin Dong's face showed a gentle smile, as if he was thinking of his younger sister at home, and he handed Xiao Yan over directly.

Xiao Yan tried to struggle, wanting Xiao Yuan to take his place and be held by Jiang Yinyin, but as soon as he struggled, the little girl caught him. Therefore, he had no choice but to stop and stare at Lin Dong with a resentful look.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's "tragic" state, Xiao Yuan immediately shrank even closer into Xiao Yan's arms, fearing that he too would be sent away.
