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

"Congratulations, Yun'er, you have become a Dou Zun powerhouse. From now on, I should address you as Venerable Yun Yun." Xiao Li smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yun Yun.

Yun Yun glanced at Xiao Li with her beautiful eyes.

"By the way, Yun'er, what is your cultivation level now? Senior Yun Potian was a five-star Dou Zun in his lifetime. You inherited his life's worth of Dou Qi, so you must be quite powerful, right?" Xiao Li asked.

Yun Yun: "My current cultivation level is two-star Dou Zun. I originally wanted to suppress it to one-star Dou Zun, but I couldn't. This Dou Qi is too huge."

"Two stars? You're putting too much pressure on me." Xiao Li's lips twitched.

"Is it ruthless? I don't think so. This is not my power. It is inherited from my ancestor. When I was young, my teacher taught me that cultivation should be done step by step. We should control our battle qi, not be controlled by it."

If I don't suppress my cultivation, I'll definitely stagnate in the future. I can distinguish between temporary strength and future strength. It's a pity my soul power is weak; if I could suppress it to the level of a one-star Dou Zun, it would be much more helpful for my future cultivation.

Yun Yun's words were forceful and clear. It must be said that Yun Shan did a really good job in teaching Yun Yun. Yun Yun is polite, respects her teachers, and does not use her personal status to bully others. However, she is too easily influenced and somewhat indecisive.

Xiao Li nodded, then handed Yun Potian's storage ring to Yun Yun: "This is Senior Yun Potian's storage ring. It contains his collection. Please accept it."

Also, carefully preserve the remains of your predecessors. The remains of a Dou Zun expert are valuable items; keep them safe to prevent any dishonoring of the deceased.

Yun Yun, Pei Yuhan, and Pei Yurou all stared at Xiao Li with strange looks.

"Little Holy Son, it seems you're the only one here who's interested in corpses. Aren't these Earth Demon Puppets made by you using the corpses of Dou Zong and Dou Zun?"

Pei Yuru whispered, but even though her voice was very soft, everyone present could hear it because of their cultivation levels!

Xiao Li was speechless, while Zi Yan burst into laughter, clutching her stomach and rolling on the ground with mirth.

"If you laugh again, I'll cut off your pills!" Xiao Li said angrily.

"Hehe, I just thought of something fun, why are you in such a hurry?"

. . . . . .

With Yun Yun, who was at the Dou Zun level, the safety of the second level of the Gate of Life and Death increased dramatically, and Xiao Li and the others headed deeper into the area.

During this time, the energy beings they encountered became increasingly higher in level, with some even reaching the Dou Zun level.

The energy crystal dropped by a Dou Zun energy body directly raised Xiao Li's cultivation level by one star. Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou's cultivation levels also improved significantly, which was also of great benefit to Yun Yun.

Zi Yan, however, was uninterested. She preferred Xiao Li's pills. Although the energy crystal was very potent, Zi Yan couldn't stomach it; it was fine for grinding her teeth, but otherwise, it wasn't very good.

"Huh? What is that?"

Xiao Li gazed at the distant horizon and noticed something standing there, black and white in color. In this desolate and barren place, the black and white stood out particularly.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look."

The group flew towards that black and white area.

"Beware!"

"careful!"

Yun Yun and Xiao Li reminded each other at the same time!

Whoosh! A sharp sword came flying!

"Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

boom!

The golden Heavenly Demon Puppet slammed its fist into the sharp sword, shattering it instantly.

Everyone looked toward the source of the attack and saw about ten energy entities floating in mid-air, their empty and indifferent gazes fixed on them.

"Ten energy bodies at the Dou Zun level, each with strength around one-star Dou Zun, and the leader seems to be a two-star Dou Zun!"

Xiao Li stared at the ten energy bodies in front of him. Behind these energy bodies was the black and white object that had attracted them earlier. Only then did everyone realize that the black and white object was actually a medicine cauldron!

"This is actually the Yin-Yang Cauldron, ranked sixth on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking! How could this thing be here!" Pei Yuhan exclaimed in surprise.

"The Yin-Yang Cauldron! The Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!"

Similar to the Ranking of Strange Flames, there is also a Ranking of Heavenly Cauldrons in the world of alchemy. As the name suggests, the Cauldron Ranking records those extremely perfect and outstanding medicine cauldrons. There are thirteen cauldrons in the cauldron ranking, and each of these medicine cauldrons has a magical power that makes countless alchemists flock to them. What everyone is looking at is the sixth-ranked Heavenly Cauldron, the Yin Yang Cauldron!

Xiao Li naturally knew the thirteen most outstanding Heavenly Cauldrons among the medicine cauldrons. He was currently using the eighth-order medicine cauldron from Yin Valley, which was of extremely good quality, but ultimately it was not as good as the medicine cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.

Xiao Li had originally planned to take some time to kill Han Feng and take his Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron, but he was afraid that if Han Feng didn't get the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron by now and he killed him, the Ten Thousand Beasts Cauldron would be completely lost.

There's no need to worry this time. The Yin-Yang Cauldron from the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking has appeared in front of Xiao Li, so how could he not take it?

"I'm determined to get this medicine cauldron. You ten energy beings, get out of my way!"

Xiao Li released all of his Earth Demon Puppets. At this time, Xiao Li possessed twelve Earth Demon Puppets and one Heaven Demon Puppets.

Chapter 123 Fragments on the Yin-Yang Cauldron

Whoosh whoosh!

A golden figure, accompanied by twelve silver figures, charged toward the ten energy entities in front of them.

Although these energy entities have reached the Dou Zun level, they cannot unleash the full power of a Dou Zun expert. The Earth Demon Puppet is sufficient to deal with them. All that is needed is for the Earth Demon Puppet to entangle these energy entities, while the Heaven Demon Puppet will eliminate them one by one.

"windward!"

Holding her sword, Yun Yun slashed at one of the energy entities, which then transformed into an energy crystal that she pocketed.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Yun raised her sword again and slashed at the energy entities one strike after another.

"This 'Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique' is indeed powerful. The Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique has four forms in total: Facing the Wind, Gliding Shadow, Absolute Breath, and Heaven-Shattering!"

The opening move is "Facing the Wind," with the third move, "Absolute Breath," being extremely powerful, guaranteeing bloodshed with a single strike. The fourth move, "Heaven-Shattering," is a combination of the first three moves, but Yun Potian perished before completing its creation.

In other words, Yun'er will probably have to complete the fourth move herself. However, even without the fourth move, the first three moves are sufficient.

Soon, the energy bodies here were dealt with, and ten energy crystals were obtained. Combined with what they had obtained before, the group now had a total of over a hundred energy crystals, enough to raise their cultivation level to another level.

Xiao Li arrived in front of the Yin-Yang Cauldron and gently stroked the ancient medicine cauldron.

"As expected of the Heavenly Cauldron, I really don't know how it was forged. Yin Yang Cauldron, I wonder if the Yin Yang Twin Flames will produce any special reactions?"

Xiao Li's Yin-Yang Heart Flame appeared in his hand and was thrown into the Yin-Yang Cauldron. Then Xiao Li's expression changed.

Suddenly, Xiao Li saw a peculiar scene.

"Hehehe, Xiao Kong, I think your days are numbered! Your Dou Di bloodline has been extracted, and your cultivation has plummeted to this point, yet you still managed to kill so many Dou Sheng from my clan!"

"As expected of the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan, hehehe, killing you like this is much more interesting! Prepare to die, old man Xiao Kong!"

Several figures in black robes appeared, the old man at the head mocking the blood-covered old man before him.

When Xiao Li saw this old man, a slight tremor ran through his blood!

The old man was wearing a gray robe, with white hair and beard, and extremely long eyebrows that drooped to both sides of his face.

"Hehe, I am indeed no longer able to do it, but I can still send you few soul brats on your way. A few newly entered Dou Sheng dare to come to me!"

As soon as the old man named Xiao Kong finished speaking, a huge amount of battle qi condensed in his hand, and his hand emitted five-colored light. Then he fought with the black-robed men, and then the scene abruptly ended!

"Ah~" Xiao Li was shocked and took a few steps back. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the Yin-Yang Cauldron was still in front of him.

"Li~ what's wrong with you?" Yun Yun looked at Xiao Li. She had just seen Xiao Li stroking the medicine cauldron, then closing his eyes, and then this scene happened.

"fine."

Xiao Li shook his head, then pondered the scene he had just witnessed.

'What was that scene just now? The old man's name is Xiao Kong. He called the person opposite him "Soul Child". With that strange black robe, he must be a member of the Soul Clan.'

Xiao Kong, having his Dou Di bloodline extracted, could he be a member of my Xiao clan? That's right! That old guy from the Soul Clan just now said he was the Great Elder of the Xiao clan, heavens!

This Yin-Yang Cauldron actually recorded such a scene! Could it be that when the Xiao Clan fled to the Northwest Continent, the Soul Clan was pursuing them! And Elder Xiao Kong was covering their retreat! That must be it!

Xiao Li's expression was solemn. He hadn't expected to find information about the Xiao Clan here, but there was nothing he could do. He was too weak to do anything for the Xiao Clan. He could only wait for Xiao Yan to be born and pave the way for him.

Let Xiao Yan go and get rid of those soul brats!

Xiao Li's gaze was firm. He then looked at the Yin-Yang Cauldron and imprinted his soul mark on it, officially taking the Yin-Yang Cauldron under his own control.

"Hmm? There seems to be something inside the cauldron!" Xiao Li opened the cauldron and found two jade-white bone arms inside, as well as a dark blue storage ring.

"A storage ring? And two bone arms?" After taking out the contents, Xiao Li first looked at the two bone arms.

"This thing? Could it be..." Xiao Li had a bold guess in his mind, and then put the two bone arms into his storage ring. Next was this storage ring.

Xiao Li probed his soul power into the storage ring, and the contents of the ring made him tremble!

"Could it be!"

Xiao Li probed into the storage ring again with his soul power. There was nothing in the storage ring except for an extremely thin soul body. This soul body was in a dormant state, and even though Xiao Li's soul power entered, it could not detect it!

In his current state, he will completely dissipate in a few years, but none of that matters! What matters is the appearance of this soul body! It is exactly the same as Xiao Kong's appearance in the scene Xiao Li just saw!

'Elder Xiao Kong!' Xiao Li probed again and found that the face of this soul body was indeed Elder Xiao Kong, and his own soul power felt a certain affinity towards him!

Upon seeing this, Xiao Li put the storage ring on his hand and then took away the Yin-Yang Cauldron.

"Alright, that's about enough. Let's absorb the energy crystals we collected earlier, and as usual, divide them into four portions!"

Xiao Li distributed the energy crystals he had collected. The others didn't think much of it, except for Yun Yun, who gave Xiao Li a deep look but didn't say anything. Then she held the energy crystal in her hand and began to absorb it.

Xiao Li watched as everyone absorbed the energy crystals, while Zi Yan seemed unaffected, graffitiing on the earth demon puppet.

Xiao Li took out two Spirit Fusion Pills from his storage ring, melted them into a medicinal liquid using a strange fire, and put them into the dark blue storage ring.

The Spirit Fusion Pill, a sixth-grade elixir, has a very unusual effect and uses extremely rare ingredients. It's a pill that allows the soul and body to fuse. However, it also has an effect on the soul body.

This Spirit Fusion Pill is an excellent medicine for the soul, which can not only restore the soul's power quickly, but also completely repair the wounds that the soul has suffered.

However, the claim of a complete repair is somewhat exaggerated. After all, it's only a sixth-grade pill, while Xiao Kong is a Dou Sheng. To be able to serve as the Grand Elder, he must be a high-level Dou Sheng! His soul realm must be the Heavenly Realm!

Xiao Li guessed that this elder's soul realm might be at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm!

The Soul Fusion Pill certainly cannot restore Xiao Kong's soul, but it can at least slow down the rate at which Xiao Kong's soul dissipates. Once the Soul Fusion Pill stabilizes Xiao Kong's current condition, Xiao Li plans to have Yin Gu find some medicinal herbs that can restore the soul!

"By the way, I also have a Soul Infant Fruit here. Although it is only a silver-grade Soul Infant Fruit, its effect is enough to restore a lot of Elder Xiao Kong's missing primordial soul energy."

A Heavenly Realm soul is unlike any other soul; its soul alone can rival that of a Dou Zun expert. As long as Elder Xiao Kong's soul injuries are stabilized, he should be able to absorb spiritual energy and restore his soul power on his own!

Xiao Li's soul power focused on the illusory soul in the storage ring. With the entry of the Fusion Pill, this thin soul appeared to solidify a bit.

"It's effective, but the Spirit Fusion Pill is ultimately not enough. We need to refine a higher-grade soul pill! Let me think. We already have the seventh-grade high-level pill, the Spirit Sea Soul Condensing Pill. There's also the Yin Yang Soul Tracing Pill, which can summon six-colored pill lightning."

After things are settled here, have someone in the valley help me find some medicinal herbs for this purpose.

Chapter 124 Xiao Kong

Xiao Li only had these two Spirit Fusion Pills on him because he had never suffered any soul injuries, and the medicinal herbs for restoring the soul were scarce. So, Xiao Li only had two Spirit Fusion Pills on him at the moment.

However, after the two Spirit Fusion Pills were integrated into that illusory soul, Xiao Li could feel that the speed at which the soul was disappearing was being stopped, which meant that the soul would awaken soon.

Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. At least from the appearance and the perception of the soul, this soul body was Elder Xiao Kong, the last elder of the Xiao clan.

"We still need strength. The Xiao clan was so powerful back then, yet it declined so rapidly. The Xiao family really can't withstand too much turmoil now."

Xiao Li closed his eyes, began to hold the energy crystals in his hands, and started to circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the energy from the crystals.

Time passes slowly,

After everyone had finished digesting and absorbing the energy crystals, Xiao Li's cultivation level reached the five-star Dou Zong level. By entering the Gate of Life and Death, he had improved from the one-star Dou Zong to the five-star Dou Zong level. Pei Yuhan improved from the seven-star Dou Zong level to the nine-star Dou Zong level, and Pei Yurou improved from the five-star Dou Zong level to the eight-star Dou Zong level.

Yun Yun's feat was even more outrageous. She received Yun Potian's inheritance and was directly promoted from an eight-star Dou Huang to a two-star Dou Zun. At this time, she was still consolidating her cultivation. Since she had just broken through to Dou Zun, she had not yet mastered the control of her power. She planned to settle down for a few years before making another breakthrough in her cultivation.

Zi Yan, on the other hand, hasn't changed at all. She spends her days either sleeping or taking pills. This place is too boring for her; Canaan Academy is much more interesting.

"Alright, let's move on to the next step."

Boom——

A loud explosion interrupted Xiao Li's words, and everyone felt the earth tremble!

"What's going on!"

Xiao Li looked into the distance and saw a dense energy hurricane howling in from the horizon. In the end, it actually formed an extremely terrifying chain reaction, causing a huge energy storm to quickly take shape in this world!

"This is a life-or-death storm in the secret realm! Run! Run southwest!"

An aged voice rang out, causing Xiao Li to shudder.

"Who is it! Who is speaking!" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise. Everyone around him looked at Xiao Li, wondering why he was making such a fuss.

Xiao Li felt like he was hallucinating, but the voice had definitely appeared. Then, Xiao Li thought of something and glanced at the dark blue storage ring on his hand.

"Everyone, run southwest! A storm is coming!"
