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

"So, the chill here gave you the opportunity to become the Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python?" Compared to the shocked Xiao Yan, Yao Lao was much calmer.

"...At least, it can purify my bloodline," Queen Medusa said after a moment of silence, "and reduce the difficulty of my evolution."

At this point, Xiao Yan understood and once again marveled at the peculiarity of the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, a magical beast born of nature.

"Then be careful," Xiao Yan said after nodding to Queen Medusa. "I'll probably be back in about a year. I hope to see you successfully evolved by then."

After glancing at Xiao Yan, Queen Medusa leaped into the pool.

"Okay, then the next goal is..."

After he could no longer sense Queen Medusa's presence, Xiao Yan stretched and exclaimed, "All the Nirvana Pills of the Qing Dynasty!"

"The Azure Wood Sect has been wiped out?" The figure looked at the official reporting below with surprise. "Which faction was responsible? The Wildfire Sect? The Celestial Immortal Sect? Or perhaps both of them joined forces?"

"I heard he's a young man who has reached the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm..."

"Investigate thoroughly before you speak!" The figure slammed his hand on the table. "The sect leader of the Green Wood Sect is also at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm! With the sect's protective formation in place, let alone the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm, even someone at the Nirvana Realm wouldn't be able to defeat him easily!"

"Yes, yes!" The official also felt that the information he had received was too outrageous, and after apologizing repeatedly, he left the study.

"...Regardless of who made the move," the figure pondered, "we must obtain enough Nirvana Pills as soon as possible. I don't want to be a servant for the rest of my life..."

A cold glint flashed in the figure's eyes. He naturally knew the so-called final fate of the Qing Dynasty, but that was only the fate of the Qing Dynasty!

"As long as I can reach the Sixth Nirvana Realm..."

"Sixth-level Nirvana Realm? You've got quite a lot on your mind..." Inside a treasure pavilion, Xiao Yan pursed his lips. "He's in his thirties or forties and still hasn't reached the First-level Nirvana Realm. I'm afraid it'll be difficult!"

While complaining about the figure's words, he counted the number of Nirvana Pills in the treasure pavilion.

"One hundred thousand pills... How come they're even poorer than the Yin Puppet Sect?" After counting them, Xiao Yan looked disgusted. "At least the Yin Puppet Sect had the confidence to exchange one hundred thousand Nirvana Pills for spiritual martial arts techniques!"

"Forget it, let's see when the next batch of Nirvana Pills arrives..."

Despite his obvious disgust, Xiao Yan honestly collected all the Nirvana Pills in the Treasure Pavilion, and also collected some medicinal herbs that had been stored for a long time and seemed to be "unwanted".

"Hmm? The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is dead?" The shadowy figure looked at the kneeling youth with some surprise. "Wasn't he already at the Nirvana Realm? And not far from the First Yuan Nirvana Realm, was he? Did you do it?"

If he remembered correctly, the young man before him had always harbored resentment towards the "emperor" of the Qing Dynasty, feeling that a traitor should not be given a chance to atone for his sins...

“No, he is a young man at the peak of the Creation Realm.” The young man shook his head and said.

"Oh? A young man at the peak of the Creation Realm?" The shadowy figure's eyes brightened slightly. The fact that a young man at the peak of the Creation Realm could kill someone at the Nirvana Realm was proof of his strength. "You brought him back, right? Where is he?" He subconsciously mobilized his spiritual power and expanded it outwards.

"...No, I am no match for him." This time, the young man hesitated for a long time before finally speaking when the shadowy figure became somewhat impatient.

"You're no match for him?" The shadowy figure frowned. "Is your strength at the Third Nirvana Realm something to be taken for granted? Or do you think bringing that person back will threaten your position?"

The young man was a friend of the shadowy figure, and although he was now his bodyguard, the shadowy figure rarely questioned the young man so harshly.

“He is a talisman master,” the young man said, lowering his head. “I can’t see through his level of spiritual power!”

"You can't see through him? So, he's not only at the peak of the Creation Realm, but also a Heavenly Talisman Master with four or more seals?" The shadowy figure's eyes gleamed even brighter. "Tell me his location!"

After the shadowy figure left, the young man let out a heavy sigh, rubbed his face, and revealed his true appearance.

"Hey, is the emperor of this advanced dynasty not so smart?" Xiao Yan chuckled as he walked towards the dynasty's treasury. "Let me see how much this advanced dynasty has in stock!"

*

"puff!"

Upon hearing the incredible news, the young nobleman instinctively spat out the wine in his mouth.

"What the hell? The treasuries of all the major powers in the Black Mountain Dynasty have been stolen?" After straightening his clothes, the young nobleman confirmed the situation with his friend.

“That’s right, it was stolen,” his friend said with a strange smile. “Six forces with Nirvana Realm experts at their command, a total of more than 20 million Nirvana Pills, not a single one left!”

"Tsk tsk tsk, over twenty million Nirvana Pills!" the young nobleman exclaimed in amazement. "By the way, where did you get this information?"

“I have a relative in the Black Mountain Kingdom,” the friend shrugged. “He came to my house a couple of days ago to borrow Nirvana Pills from my dad, and I happened to be eavesdropping on him.” The friend said with a wink.

"Sigh, if only I had those twenty million Nirvana Pills!" Seeing his friend's familiar gesture, the young nobleman felt relieved. "With so many Nirvana Pills, would I still be afraid of Qin Tian in the Hundred Dynasties War?"

"Come on, they're from the Tianyuan Dynasty!" my friend said dismissively. "They're basically already a chosen disciple of the Yuan Sect. What makes you think you can pull this off?"

"Just venting my frustration..."

boom!

The door to the private room was kicked open, and before the young master could even get angry, he discovered that the person who came in was his father.

"Father, Father, what's wrong with you..." The young nobleman stood up hastily and chuckled dryly.

"Who is that relative of yours?" The young master's father glared at his son before turning his gaze to his friend.

"Uh..." The friend looked bewildered. "What did he do to offend you, Uncle? And why are you looking for me? My father is still alive, isn't he?"

"Provoke? If it were just provocation, that would be fine!"

"He stole all the Nirvana Pills from me and your family! Your father is still unconscious!"

"What the heck?!"

My friend and the young nobleman's pupils dilated in shock.

The Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

"Master, you wanted to see me?" Ling Qingzhu walked calmly to the Palace Master.

"When you came back earlier, you said you met a young man whose spiritual power was already at the Heavenly Talisman Master level, even though he hadn't reached the third realm of Creation?" the beautiful woman asked softly.

In a single sentence, Ling Qingzhu's memories were transported back to the ancient tomb more than two years prior—

If Lin Dong hadn't refused to take advantage of her vulnerability, she might have already lost her virginity.

“Yes,” Ling Qingzhu nodded, “to be able to easily crush a dead Nirvana Realm primordial spirit with just mental power, one must be at least a Heavenly Talisman Master of the Sixth Seal or higher.”

The primordial spirit is something that can only be born at the seventh level of Nirvana. Even if it has been dead for a long time, it is not something that ordinary talisman masters can easily contend with, let alone crush.

“Hmm,” the beautiful woman nodded, then asked, “Is it possible for him to become a Celestial Talisman Master in just over two years?”

Ling Qingzhu was stunned. After a long while, she hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be... possible, right?"

"Take a look and see if this is him." After calmly nodding, the beautiful woman took out a document.

Chapter 247 The Mischievous Xiao Yan (Part 2)

"Sect-based wanted list?"

After glancing at the document handed to her by the beautiful woman, Ling Qingzhu's expression became even more confused.

The Sect Wanted List is a list jointly issued by various super sects in the Eastern Xuan Region to offer rewards for vicious individuals lurking in the Eastern Xuan Region. Those who can make it onto this list are all individuals with astonishing methods and superb strength.

“Not long ago, the Yuan Sect issued an arrest warrant for a mysterious figure,” the beautiful woman nodded and said. “Although the Yuan Sect was unwilling to disclose detailed information, it eventually compromised under the demands of various sects.”

Currently, the number one on the sect's wanted list is that mysterious person. As for his deeds..."

"They stole the Immortal Essence Fruit that the Yuan Sect had gifted to the Tianyuan Dynasty, and killed an elder of the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm who was sent by the Yuan Sect to escort the Immortal Essence Fruit?"

While the beautiful woman was speaking, Ling Qingzhu also finished reading about the recent deeds of the person ranked first on the wanted list, named Yan Xiao.

“According to Yuanmen, that Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruit contains seeds that can be cultivated into an Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree,” the beautiful woman chuckled. “Besides the rewards offered as bounties, they can give that Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruit to the sect that captured Yan Xiao.”

"...Is this false information released by Yuanmen?" After a brief pause, Ling Qingzhu asked softly.

The Tianyuan Dynasty, the direct lineage of the Yuan Sect, has been the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War for many years. Although they have brought enormous benefits to the Yuan Sect, they are also capable of cultivating the Immortal Yuan Ancient Fruit, which is the Immortal Yuan Ancient Tree...

It's obvious that something with the foundation to become a super sect could never be given to a super dynasty.

"The Immortal Origin Fruit is real. In the past few years, the number one genius of the Tianyuan Dynasty has reached the Fifth Yuan Nirvana Realm. Before the Hundred Dynasties War, he has a good chance of breaking through to the Sixth Yuan Nirvana Realm," the beautiful woman said casually.

Each of the major super sects has supported one or more super dynasties, with the Yuan Sect supporting the most. The Tianyuan Dynasty, supported by the Yuan Sect, is the most powerful among the major super dynasties. Therefore, each major sect has some information about the number one genius of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Ling Qingzhu nodded. If a genius had become a Six-Element Nirvana Realm genius before the Hundred Dynasties War, the Yuan Sect might indeed award him an Ancient Immortal Fruit as a reward.

"Did they know about the Immortal Essence Fruit and ambush it on the road?" But soon, Ling Qingzhu noticed something amiss. "Moreover, just killing an elder who had reached the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm doesn't necessarily mean that person was an Immortal Talisman Master, does it?"

“No, the sect’s wanted list only records the battles that made him famous,” the beautiful woman said, a strange expression appearing on her face. “Before that, Yan Xiao first appeared in a small sect of a low-level dynasty.”

"A low-level dynasty?"

“A low-level dynasty called the Great Qing Dynasty,” the beautiful woman nodded, “is a low-level dynasty supported by several high-level dynasties controlled by the Tianyuan Dynasty, and it happens to be located near the Great Yan Dynasty.”

"So, Master, that's why you think this Rock Owl might be Lin Dong?" Ling Qingzhu realized.

“No, there are others,” the beautiful woman smiled. “In that low-level dynasty, Yan Xiao looted hundreds of thousands of Nirvana Pills and then disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, posing as a guard of the emperor of a high-level dynasty, he stole the treasuries of all the major powers in that high-level dynasty, stealing a total of more than 20 million Nirvana Pills…”

"So, he was still at the Creation Realm until that advanced dynasty was stolen?"

The number of Nirvana Pills needed is greatest only when one has not broken through to the Nirvana Realm, so Ling Qingzhu's guess is not too wrong.

“The intelligence we’ve gathered is as follows,” the beautiful woman nodded, “followed by news of the theft of the treasuries of three high-ranking dynasties, and the perpetrator was still that Rock Owl.”

"How many Nirvana Pills did he take in total?" Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu couldn't hold back any longer.

How many Nirvana Pills did she use when she broke through to the Nirvana Realm? Oh, no, she broke through in the Dan River, so the Nirvana Qi she consumed was too much to be divided into Nirvana Pills.

"Including the ones taken from the Tianyuan Dynasty, there are a total of 240 million Nirvana Pills," the beautiful woman said softly. "For most people, even if they go from the Creation Realm to the Ninth Yuan Nirvana Realm, the amount they consume may not reach this number."

“It doesn’t seem like something Lin Dong would do,” Ling Qingzhu said after hesitating for a moment. “His talent should be entirely in his spiritual power. Although he also cultivates Yuan power, 240 million Nirvana Pills… if it were for breaking through to the Nirvana Realm, he probably wouldn’t need that many.”

"Is that so?" The beautiful woman remained noncommittal. "If not, that would be best. Although our Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace is not afraid of the Yuan Sect, it is still best to avoid contact with those who have been given a kill order by the Yuan Sect."

“Mm.” Ling Qingzhu nodded silently.

Watching Ling Qingzhu's departing figure, the beautiful woman frowned slightly. She didn't quite understand why the Yuan Sect was so furious after the death of this elder who had reached the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm. Back then, when the Dao Sect's elder came to kill them, none of the Yuan Sect members showed any particular emotion.

"Was it because that person escaped?" the beautiful woman murmured, then put these trivial matters out of her mind and continued to comprehend the "cultivation method" passed down through generations of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace.

"Zhou Tong's record has been broken."

"what?"

The girl in red, who had just heard the strange rumor, stopped and looked at the girl next to her.

"Didn't someone named Yan Xiao recently top the sect's wanted list?" Startled by the red-clad girl's reaction, the girl shrank back, then continued, "A few days ago, several elders from the Yuan Sect found that person."
