Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master.

"Such abundant energy of heaven and earth! Sure enough, Hai Bodong didn't lie to me!"

Xiao Li first placed Old Wang's body aside. Old Wang was now in a state similar to hibernation, as the medicinal power of the Yin Yang Xuanlong Pill and the toxicity of the Demon Poison Spot were rampant in his body.

The balance between the two energies caused Mr. Wang to enter a dormant state, and it would be difficult for him to wake up.

In Xiao Li's view, Wang Lao is currently at a critical juncture of rebuilding after destruction, but whether he can rebuild is crucial.

Xiao Li simply built a stone bed suitable for Wang Lao to lie on, and then placed Wang Lao on the stone bed.

"This place must be the crater, but it seems to be blocked by something. The fire elemental energy here is extremely active, and I can sense the lava beneath the volcano."

"What if a volcano erupts here? It might ruin the teacher's health."

Xiao Li was very troubled; there were just too many things to do.

Over the next few days, Xiao Li observed the wisp of yang energy within Elder Wang's body. Xiao Li's intuition told him that this wisp of yang energy was crucial! Perhaps this was the key to whether Elder Wang could break through his current state and establish himself again!

"Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill!" Xiao Li held the pill formula in his hand, his face full of worry. He had already collected all the necessary medicinal materials for the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill.

However, due to the extremely demanding requirements for the materials used in the Heavenly Yang Blood Dragon Pill, Xiao Li only had one set of medicinal herbs on hand, and this set was of paramount importance.

"I'll cultivate first, break through to the Dou Huang realm, and then the increase in Dou Qi will boost my soul power! This might allow me to improve my alchemy skills again!"

Xiao Li planned to cultivate and break through to the Dou Huang realm first. The fire-attribute energy of heaven and earth here was very rich, making it extremely suitable for cultivation. However, in order to prevent Wang Lao's condition from being affected during the process of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, Xiao Li chose to cultivate in a more distant place.

. . . . . .

Yunlan Sect, the Secret Realm of Life and Death

After meeting Xiao Li, Yun Yun decided to enter the Gate of Life and Death for training! The Gate of Life and Death is a strange secret realm, discovered by Yun Potian, the founder of the Yunlan Sect, who also founded the Yunlan Sect in this place.

Except for those who died unexpectedly, most of the successors of the Yunlan Sect passed away in the Gate of Life and Death, which became the final test for the successor of the Yunlan Sect.

Yun Yun has been in the Gate of Life and Death for almost a year. With the help of this secret realm and the ancestors of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun's cultivation has reached the level of a three-star Dou Wang. In another six months, after completing the test, she will probably reach the level of an eight-star Dou Wang.

At that time, he will be able to walk out of the Gate of Life and Death and become the next Sect Master of Yunlan Sect!

Call ~

Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes, and then her gaze turned to the distance, where there was a strange landscape.

The strange thing looked like a flame, constantly burning, but its color was extremely bizarre, one black and one white, two completely opposite colors intertwined.

"This must be the Yin-Yang Twin Flames," Yun Yun murmured.

The Yin-Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first on the list of extraordinary flames, are black and white, born from the very origin of the universe. Their characteristics encompass both life and death: the white Yang Flame contains vitality and can heal injuries; the black Yin Flame, however, is destructive, instantly turning anyone who touches it to ash.

Chapter 54 Battle Emperor

Six months later,

The Tagor Desert, a region of black mountain ranges

Xiao Li was sitting upright on a high mountain, and the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) was converging towards him.

"No, it's still not enough. The environment here isn't suitable for me to break through to the Dou Huang level in a short time."

Xiao Li opened his eyes. In the past six months, his cultivation had reached the peak of Dou Wang and he had already touched the bottleneck of Dou Huang, but the surrounding environment could not help him break through.

The main reason was that Xiao Li was worried that absorbing too much fire-attribute energy would affect Elder Wang.

"What? Still not working?" An old man with a pair of blue-purple wings on his back slowly flew to Xiao Li.

"Yes, Grandpa, I plan to go underground to break through. From what I've observed, there's a large area of ​​magma beneath this volcano, where the fire element is abundant, which will allow me to break through," Xiao Li said slowly to the old man.

That's right, this is Xiao Li's grandfather, Xiao Ting. Before parting ways with Xiao Lin that day, Xiao Li asked his older brother to call his grandfather to come out and help.

Because Xiao Li needed to cultivate and couldn't protect Elder Wang, Elder Wang needed someone to watch over him for a long time. Xiao Li didn't have many people he trusted, so he could only ask his grandfather to come over.

Xiao Ting is now a four-star Dou Huang. Back then, Xiao Li gave Xiao Ting several Qingyuan Pills to aid his cultivation when he returned home, as well as a top-grade Huangji Pill.

Xiao Ting first used the Qingyuan Pill to break through to the second-star Dou Huang level, and then took the Huangji Pill to break through two stars to reach the fourth-star Dou Huang level.

With a four-star Dou Huang rank, a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, and accompanying Dou skills, Xiao Ting's strength ranks among the top in the entire Jia Ma Empire. Even if Jia Xingtian were to take action, it would be difficult for him to defeat Xiao Ting.

"Cultivate in magma? Isn't that too dangerous?" Xiao Ting was a little worried.

"It's alright, I have the Fallen Heart Flame protecting me, the magma can't hurt me. Grandpa, I'm going now."

With a flap of his battle qi wings, Xiao Ting flew towards the depths of the volcano. Xiao Li had already explored this area before and opened a passage connecting it to the magma world.

Xiao Li flew straight in and arrived at this place, which was entirely red in color and filled with slowly flowing lava.

"The fire-attribute energy here is incredibly abundant, and the environment here is probably conducive to the creation of extraordinary flames, right? Never mind, I'll break through first!"

Xiao Li found a suitable place, sat cross-legged there, and began to cultivate.

. . . . . .

Yunlan Sect, Gate of Life and Death

At this moment, Yunshan was already standing outside the Gate of Life and Death. Just a few days ago, the Gate of Life and Death had been emitting strange fluctuations. As the sect leader, Yunshan naturally knew that his disciple was about to emerge from seclusion.

chant—

"They've arrived!" Yun Shan smiled. This aura had reached the level of an eight-star Dou Wang, even greater than what he had gained from his birth at the Gate of Life and Death.

Before long, the Gate of Life and Death opened, and a graceful and elegant woman slowly flew out from it, with a pair of azure battle aura wings on her back.

Battle Qi transforms into wings, transforming one into a Battle King!

"Teacher!" As soon as Yun Yun stepped out of the Gate of Life and Death, she saw her teacher Yun Shan and immediately went to Yun Shan, clasping her hands in greeting.

"No need, no need. Do we, master and disciple, need to be so formal?" Yunshan laughed. He was very satisfied with Yunyun. She had great talent and her future achievements would far surpass those of her master.

"Hmm, an eight-star Dou Wang, and your Dou Qi is quite solid. Yun'er, from now on, you will be the ninth sect master of the Yunlan Sect."

Yunshan said with a smile.

whoosh-

Just as Yunshan finished speaking, a figure in cyan flew over and stopped behind Yunshan. It was none other than Yun Ji, the Grand Elder of the Yunlan Sect.

Yun Ji is in good spirits now. The poison he suffered at the Strongest Gathering has been completely cured. He is fine and will naturally continue to serve as the Grand Elder.

"Oh? It's the young sect leader who's come out? No, she should be called sect leader now." Yun Ji joked when he saw Yun Yun.

"Elder," Yun Yun greeted Yun Ji with clasped hands.

"By the way, Sect Master, we've collected two sets of herbs for the Life-Returning Pill. Should we send them over?" Yun Ji asked.

"Only two portions? Tsk, I wonder if that little guy can refine the pills. Why don't you deliver them yourself?" Yun Shan wasn't sure if Xiao Li could refine seventh-grade pills, but he did have a Breakthrough Pill refined by Xiao Li.

"Teacher, what happened?" Yunyun asked.

"Ah~ Here's what happened. Half a year ago, during the Strongest Tournament..." Yunshan told Yunyun about the Strongest Tournament. Elder Wang was seriously injured, and Xiao Li was currently doing his best to treat him.

"Is that so? Teacher, Elder, I'll deliver it myself." Yun Yun planned to deliver the medicinal herbs herself.

"Very well. By the way, Yun Ji, now that Yun'er has emerged from seclusion, she will be the next sect leader of the Yunlan Sect. You should personally hold the succession ceremony for her. I need to go into seclusion to break through to the Dou Zong level."

Yunshan spoke up, saying that after the battles of the Strongest Tournament, his cultivation had reached the peak of Dou Huang. He assumed that Jia Xingtian had also reached the peak of Dou Huang, but Yunshan had a Breaking Sect Pill in his possession.

Originally, without the Breakthrough Pill, Yunshan might have had to wait a while before going into seclusion. But now he doesn't need to; the sooner he breaks through to the Dou Zong level, the better! Moreover, Yunshan has recently been feeling a bit inspired, and the feeling of breaking through is extremely strong. This is an opportunity he can't miss!

"Teacher! You've finally..."

"metropolitan!"

Yun Yun and Yun Ji were surprised that Yun Shan wanted to break through to the Dou Zong realm, but they both knew that Yun Shan had a Breakthrough Pill, and they were the only two in the entire Yunlan Sect who knew about this.

"Hush, just announce to the outside world that I'm going to break through to the peak of Dou Huang, and the matter will be accomplished in secret," Yun Shan said with a smile.

"understood."

"Yun'er, take this storage ring. The ingredients for the Rejuvenation Pill are all inside, as well as the ingredients for three portions of the Imperial Extreme Pill and nine portions of the Fighting Spirit Pill."

"Let Elder Xiao finish his business before he refines the pills, since Elder Wang's matter is the most crucial." Yun Ji handed a storage ring to Yun Yun.

"By the way, Xiao Li is currently in the Tagor Desert. I have a map here. Yun'er, just follow the map. There's a volcano there, and Xiao Li is right there." Yun Shan handed the map to Yun Yun. It was drawn by Hai Bodong at his request.

Since Hai Bodong went to the Tagor Desert a few months ago to search for the Strange Fire and fought a great battle with Queen Medusa, he has seemed to have disappeared.

The high-ranking officials of the Gama Empire all believed that Haibodong had died at the hands of Queen Medusa, and Haibodong's disappearance had severely impacted the Mittel family.

As for who was responsible for suppressing the Mittel family, it's self-evident: there's only one person in the entire Gama Empire who enjoys suppressing all forces.

Although the Mittel family declined due to the disappearance of its Supreme Elder Hai Bodong, it remained one of the four major families, with the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family secretly providing assistance.

Yunlan Sect was Yunshan's idea; as an old friend, Yunshan didn't want Haibodong's family to be wiped out. The Xiao family, on the other hand, did so because they had many dealings with the Mittel family and didn't want anything to happen to them.

Besides, after so many years of transactions, the Xiao family's upper management and the Mittel family have developed a relationship, and there has even been a marriage alliance between the two families, so Xiao Lin would not sit idly by.

. . . . . .

Tagor Desert, volcanic system

"Hmm? Why is Old Wang's vitality declining!" Xiao Ting regularly checks on Old Wang's body, but today he discovered that the vitality within Old Wang's body was actually waning!

Boom——

Suddenly, the enormous energy vortex that was slowly rotating in the sky gradually stopped spinning, and then a torrent of energy poured down like a rainstorm, finally transforming into a massive energy beam like a mountain torrent.

The energy stream flowed directly into the volcano, and soon after, a figure in a green robe flew out.

"You've broken through! You've become a Dou Huang! The commotion is even greater than when I was young! You truly deserve to be the prodigy of the Xiao family!" Xiao Ting stroked his beard and laughed.

Chapter 55 News of Yin Yang Twin Flames

As Xiao Li felt his own power and the overwhelming fighting spirit within him, which was like a torrent of water, a slight smile appeared on his lips. At this moment, a feeling of pride that he could hold the world in his hands welled up in his heart. Meanwhile, his powerful soul force, centered on his body, swept out in all directions like a storm.

"So this is what a Battle Emperor is! Not only my Battle Qi, but even my Soul Power has increased. Now, my success rate in refining seventh-grade pills will be greatly improved!"

A Dou Huang is already a top-tier powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire, and holds considerable influence throughout the entire Northwest Continent.

"Li'er, come quick! Old Wang's health isn't right!" Xiao Ting shouted immediately.

Instantly, Xiao Li's joy at breaking through his cultivation level vanished.

Xiao Li came to Old Wang's side and used his soul power to examine Old Wang's body.

"How could this be? Could it be that the long period of hibernation has caused the teacher's vitality to decline? The medicinal power of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is linked to the teacher's vitality. What should we do now that the teacher's vitality is insufficient!"

Xiao Li was at a loss. He had pills to replenish life force, but the poison of the Chuyun Empire would rapidly increase when it came into contact with abundant life force. Giving Wang Lao pills to replenish life force would only harm him.

whoosh-

Suddenly, a figure in cyan robes rushed over, and Xiao Li and Xiao Ting immediately sensed its presence.

"Hmm? Is that Yun'er? She's emerged from seclusion?" Xiao Li sensed who the owner of this aura was.

Soon, Yun Yun flew over and saw Xiao Li there with a joyful expression.

"Brother Xiao Li." Yun Yun came to Xiao Li and clasped her hands together.

"How did you come?"

Yun Yun took out a storage ring: "I just came out of seclusion and heard about this from my teacher. These are the ingredients for the Life-Returning Pill that my teacher collected, as well as other medicinal materials."

The teacher's instruction was to refine the Life-Returning Pill first; nothing else mattered, saving Elder Wang was the key.

"Thank you very much, Elder Yun." The Yunlan Sect's timely intervention saved Xiao Li from dire straits.

The Life-Saving Pill, a seventh-grade elixir, can save a person's life. With it, as long as one's head isn't chopped off or one's heart isn't shattered, one can still live, which is equivalent to having two lives.

Given Old Master Wang's current condition, this kind of elixir would be best for him.

"Although I can refine seventh-grade pills, I cannot withstand pill lightning. The pill lightning triggered by a seventh-grade pill is no less than the attack of a Dou Zong expert."

Xiao Li felt somewhat powerless again, and took out the blue jade block from his hand.

"The thing the dean gave me to save my life, I'm going to have to use it now, or maybe I should have used it a long time ago."

Xiao Li channeled his soul power into the jade block: "Dean, I'm in trouble. Please help me."

Canaan College, Dean's Office

Mang Tianchi, who was taking a nap, yawned and suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

"Dean, I'm in trouble, please help me."

The sound made Mang Tianchi sit up, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Hey, what trouble has this kid run into? But who am I, Dean? If I could be so easily mobilized, wouldn't that make me look bad?"
