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

Their gazes swept over the figures, finally settling with some surprise on a familiar woman. Her charming and delicate face was none other than the woman in the red dress they had met in Thunder Rock Valley.

"It seems her name is... Mu Hongling?" Xiao Yan looked at Lin Dong with some uncertainty.

"It seems so?" Lin Dong wasn't too sure either. Back then, in order to get that ancient key, he directly kicked the woman in the red dress out of the key space, and he really didn't remember her specific name.

"Hehe, little brother Lin Dong, you've really changed a lot in just a few days! I never expected you to have achieved such success in such a short time!"

Mu Hongling was naturally unaware that Xiao Yan and Lin Dong hadn't even remembered her name. After their gazes fell upon her, her charming laughter, tinged with a hint of allure, rang out, and then several figures flashed over, appearing not far in front of the two of them.

"It's alright."

After casually changing the subject, Lin Dong's gaze fell on a white-robed man behind Mu Hongling. Among these people, only this white-robed man's strength was barely passable. At least, in terms of Yuan Power cultivation alone, only this white-robed man was above him and Xiao Yan.

"You came here for this sect's ruins?" Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the man in white, and he asked casually.

“Hehe, the Qianyun Sect is indeed not weak to be able to become a guardian sect of that sect alliance. Their heritage is also quite good. However, we did not come here for that purpose,” the white-robed man smiled and then introduced himself, “I am Liu Bai.”

"Liu Bai?"

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were not unfamiliar with this name, after all, on the day the ancient treasure was opened, they had teased Tian Zhen, who was as famous as Liu Bai.

"To avenge Tian Zhen?" Xiao Yan tilted his head and asked.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan's auras suddenly erupted, and endless fierce energy pressed directly down on the group including Liu Bai and Mu Hongling.

The terrifying aura of malevolence caused the faces of the people behind Liu Bai to change drastically. They unleashed their own auras without hesitation, but they were too hasty in their defense. If Liu Bai hadn't helped them out, the weaker of them would have undoubtedly been crushed by the malevolent aura. Although they wouldn't have been seriously injured, they would have been at a disadvantage when facing Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan in the future.

“No, although I’m on par with Tian Zhen, our relationship isn’t that good,” Liu Bai shook his head helplessly, his gaze lingering on Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan for a moment before returning to Xiao Yan, “If I said I wanted an ancient key…”

"Do you think it's possible?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.

"As expected?" Liu Bai smiled helplessly.

Previously, in the Ancient Palace, he was also trapped by the rune array, but at that time his attention was on Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, who were already famous, and he didn't care much about Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan behind them.

But just now, after realizing that everyone behind him combined might not be a match for Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan, he knew that obtaining the Ancient Key was probably impossible. After all, if they really fought, he didn't think he could easily defeat Xiao Yan or Lin Dong, as for Mu Hongling and the others...

Even if they joined forces, they might not be a match for either Xiao Yan or Lin Dong alone.

"What if I exchange it for spiritual martial arts?"

However, Liu Bai came to this ancient secret treasure for the inheritance of the four great sects, so even though he knew the probability was low, he still couldn't help but ask.

“If the four ancient keys correspond to the four inheritances of the four great sects,” Lin Dong said, not making any excessive moves while the others were speaking politely, “one spiritual martial arts manual wouldn’t be enough, would it?” He smiled somewhat strangely.

"That's true..." Liu Bai sighed helplessly. He could produce one spiritual martial arts manual, which he had gained a lot from in this ancient battlefield. But if he wanted two or more, he would need to bring out the foundation of the dynasty.

Regardless of whether Xiao Yan and Lin Dong would agree to it, he simply couldn't bring himself to offer up the dynasty's foundation.

"Well, it seems I have no choice but to go to other regions." Liu Bai sighed helplessly. There weren't many strong people in the Northwest region. He thought he could find an ancient treasure for free, but he didn't expect that he would still have to compete with other super dynasties for a spot.

However, the thought of a lone wolf who, unwilling to compete with a super dynasty, had specifically traveled from the Northeast to the Northwest within this ancient treasure trove made Liu Bai feel much better. After all, he had originally stayed in the Northwest, and failing to obtain the inheritances of the Four Great Mystic Sects could only be attributed to bad luck. But that other person…

"I've made a wasted trip, and I might even get a scolding. Compared to that, I'm actually doing alright." After shaking his head helplessly, Liu Bai said a few more words to Xiao Yan and Lin Dong, and then led his friends in other directions towards the ancient secret treasure.

Although Liu Bai looked down on the lineages of sects other than the Four Great Mysterious Sects, his friends still had people who needed the lineages of those sects.

After Liu Bai and the others left, Xiao Yan and his group of four descended from the sky and arrived in front of Mo Ling and the other two who were eagerly watching them.

Seeing the expectant looks on Mo Ling and the other two's faces, Lin Dong smiled and casually tossed the sect seal talisman in his hand over.

The three quickly accepted the gifts and looked around. At this moment, the powerful figures from various dynasties in the sky no longer had any intention of making a move and gradually dispersed. They certainly did not take Mo Ling and his two companions seriously, but the four of them, including Xiao Yan, were not ordinary heavyweights. They were not so stubborn as to think that they could defeat Xiao Yan and his companions who had "forced" Liu Bai to withdraw.

"Have you both broken through to the Nirvana Realm?" Mo Ling asked, looking at Xiao Yan and Lin Dong.

"It was just a bit of luck, and aren't you the same?" Lin Dong smiled. The Qianyun Sect is also a guardian sect of the Tiangang Alliance. Since Mo Ling and the other two have obtained its inheritance, it is undoubtedly a matter of entering the Nirvana Ranking and reaching the final stage of the Hundred Dynasties War in the future.

"Hehe, it seems we've gotten a bit of good luck following you guys for a while," Du Yun chuckled, then said, "If you're interested in the Qianyun Sect, we can take you in and see if you can get its inheritance."

They all understood that if Xiao Yan and the others hadn't arrived in time, they wouldn't have been able to save the sect's seal; they might have even lost their lives!

"No need. As you just heard, we have the key to the inheritance that even Liu Bai wants."

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong both declined with smiles.

"I will escort you inside. Once you begin the inheritance, we will leave and head to the depths of the secret realm," Lin Dong said after a moment's thought.

“…Thank you very much then,” Mo Ling shook his head, then his gaze suddenly turned to Xiao Yan behind Lin Dong and Xiao Yuan behind Xiao Yan, and hesitantly asked, “Who are these two?”

"Lin Yan, my brother, the demonic tiger you've met before, who followed me, has now broken through to the Nirvana Realm and shed his beast form," Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Xiao Yuan, this is the Thunder Origin Crystal Beast beside me," Xiao Yan introduced with a smile.

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Mo Ling and the other two became even more embarrassed. They truly hadn't expected that the demonic beasts beside the two had already reached the Nirvana Realm, while the three of them were only at the Quasi-Nirvana Realm...

Chapter 258 Nirvana Burning Heaven Array and Heaven Sealing Array Diagram

Xiao Yan and his companions did not linger in the ruins of the Qianyun Sect for too long. After seeing Mo Ling and the other two successfully enter the main hall to receive the inheritance, they set off again and left the ancient square.

By the time the four of them left the plaza, almost everyone around the floating island had already left.

"Let's go. After cultivating in the Dan River for a few days, those guys must have gradually ventured deeper into the ancient secret realm. If we want the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill, we'd better hurry," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

“Hey, there’s no need to be nervous,” Little Marten darted out of Lin Dong’s body. “When the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill is formed, a Life and Death Ring will be born around it. This thing is invisible to the naked eye, but if someone touches it, their life force will dissipate in an instant.”

"The Ring of Life and Death?"

Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were both taken aback.

"It can't be solved by a master of the Life and Death Profound Realm, can it?" Xiao Yan asked with some distress.

In terms of combat power alone, Xiao Yan is no less than a master of the Great Perfection of the Death Profound Realm. However, the life and death energy mastered by the Life and Death Profound Realm leaves him somewhat bewildered. In the midst of battle, the life and death energy has no effect on the Strange Fire, and can be directly destroyed.

But this Life and Death Ring sounds like something used to protect the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. Who knows if the strange fire will have any effect after coming into contact with it?

"Can the Devouring Ancestral Symbol destroy that Life and Death Ring?" Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before asking.

"It's hard to say..."

The little sable, who had originally thought that the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill was protected by the Life and Death Ring and that ordinary Nirvana Realm cultivators would have no way to deal with it, was a little panicked. He only thought that others could not destroy the Life and Death Ring, but forgot that although the two people beside him were powerful in combat, they were not familiar with the Qi of Life and Death.

"In any case, let's go to the depths of the ancient secret realm first. As for that Ring of Life and Death... let me think of another way to deal with it."

After muttering something, the little sable returned to Lin Dong's body. It seems that breaking the Life and Death Ring without damaging the pill is no easy task.

This wasn't the first time Xiao Diao had managed to shut himself up. Xiao Yan and the others exchanged glances and couldn't help but chuckle before heading straight into the depths of the secret realm.

Because they weren't interested in any inheritances other than the Four Great Mystic Sects, Xiao Yan and his companions moved incredibly fast through this secret realm. About an hour later, they arrived at a place where the surrounding air temperature was much higher than in other spaces.

"We've arrived!" A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he raised his head and looked into the distance. The space there was a crimson expanse, like fiery clouds spreading across the sky, blocking all paths.

As Xiao Yan drew closer to the sky, he finally got a clear look at the "fire clouds"—

It was a crimson sea of ​​fire that had spread to an unknown location. The fire rose and seemed to be burning the space itself. The already damaged space around the fire was further distorted by the burning, and the space was extremely unstable.

"Nirvana Heaven-Burning Formation..."

Gazing at this spectacular scene, Lin Dong muttered to himself.

On the plaza where the Qianyun Sect was located, the group saw a stone tablet. The tablet contained general information about the Tiangang Alliance, including the route to the depths of the ancient secret treasure. The sea of ​​fire before them was the formation protecting the depths of the ancient secret treasure.

"Should we go straight in?" Seeing Xiao Yan and Lin Dong stop in front of the sea of ​​fire, Xiao Yan scratched the back of his head and asked.

"The lightning stored within my body should be able to neutralize the Nirvana Fire in this formation," Xiao Yuan said hurriedly.

"Cancel it out with the Nirvana Fire in the formation?" Xiao Yan chuckled. "There are quite a few Nirvana Fire Thunders and even a lot of Nirvana Demon Flames in this Nirvana Burning Heaven Formation. If all of them were activated, even I would have a bit of a headache."

Nirvana Fire Thunder is a one-time-use item condensed from pure Nirvana Qi. Compared to Nirvana Fire, it is more violent and explodes upon contact. Its power is also considerable. A single one can severely injure an ordinary Nirvana expert, and a large enough number can completely overwhelm a Ninth-Level Nirvana Realm expert.

And the number of Nirvana Fire Thunder within this Nirvana Burning Heaven Formation...

Within the area that Xiao Yan's mental power currently encompasses, there are tens of thousands of them. If they were to detonate, the number of subsequent explosions would likely reach hundreds of thousands.

"Are you replicating the array nodes of the Nirvana Burning Heaven Array?" Lin Dong was also very familiar with Xiao Yan's mental energy fluctuations. At the same time, Lin Dong also knew that Xiao Yan had been studying something that seemed to be a complete guide to arrays, so he asked directly.

“Well, this Nirvana Burning Heaven Formation is, after all, the formation that the Heavenly Gang Alliance uses to protect its treasure, so its power is definitely guaranteed,” Xiao Yan nodded. “Although some of the formation’s nodes are damaged or even lost due to its age, if I can completely replicate it and repair all the nodes, it will still be of great help to me.”

"Is your mental strength sufficient?" Lin Dong glanced around slightly. This sea of ​​fire seemed to have no end in sight, unlike what one would expect from a minor Immortal Talisman Master's mental strength.

"It can cover about one-fifth," Xiao Yan shrugged. "Just keep going in. By the time we break through this sea of ​​fire, the formation will be almost complete..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly froze.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression freeze, Lin Dong and the other two immediately became alert.

“…How should I put it,” Xiao Yan’s expression gradually became strange, “within this Nirvana Burning Heaven Formation, I sensed the auras of several Life Profound Realm cultivators.”

"Were they the supervisors of the Hundred Dynasties War, arranged by those super sects?" Lin Dong asked, frowning.

"No, the aura emanating from these people is strange; they don't seem to belong to any of the sects in the Eastern Xuan Region..."

During the year that Xiao Yan was being hunted down by the Yuan Sect, he passed through quite a few sects and gained a general understanding of the auras of the powerful figures in the Eastern Xuan Region. However, the individuals in the Nirvana Burning Heaven Formation did not seem to be powerful figures from the Eastern Xuan Region.

"Wait a minute, they seem to be discussing something. I'll go over and listen."

Noticing that the few cultivators at the Life Profound Realm seemed to be plotting something, Xiao Yan interrupted Lin Dong's curiosity and carefully brought his spiritual power close to the group—

"Is everything ready?"

"Almost there, just a few more nodes to go."

"Be quick about it, that steward from Yuanmen was just here not long ago!"

"The Heaven-Sealing Formation Diagram hasn't arrived yet, so even if it's ready, it's useless!"

"Then tell them to hurry up! This space has been controlled by the Eastern Xuan Domain for too long, and no one knows if they will discover our little tricks!"

……

As soon as he got closer, Xiao Yan heard a lot of interesting things. Of course, the matter of seizing this space of the ancient battlefield was not something Xiao Yan could get involved in. Even if he wanted to take advantage of the situation and take this space, he would not have the chance, since he was only at the Nirvana Realm.

However, the "Heaven-Sealing Formation Diagram" mentioned by these people is hard to say.

"What did you find out?" After noticing that Xiao Yan's expression was becoming increasingly strange, Lin Dong roughly understood that Xiao Yan's focus was no longer on those people in the Nirvana Burning Heaven Formation, and immediately asked.

"The Heaven-Sealing Formation Diagram..."
