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

"Next up is the final, most anticipated item of this auction! Everyone, keep your eyes peeled!"

It's almost chapter 150, and I have some things to say.

I've been writing Battle Through the Heavens for almost two months now, and I've reached 300,000 words. Looking at the comments every day, I have some things to say.

Sigh, I don't know where to begin. Let's start with Xiao Li's cultivation level. He's twenty-seven years old, a five-star Dou Zun, at the peak of the Spirit Realm, and an eighth-grade seven-color alchemist (he can also refine eight-color alchemy, but the success rate is not high).

Some people say I'm suppressing the protagonist's strength and combat power. Please, did I suppress it? Shouldn't cultivation be a gradual process? He's already grown by consuming pills; you could call him a walking medicine cabinet. Why would he want to make his foundation even more unstable?

Is improving one's cultivation level really that simple? Why don't I just set Xiao Li as a Dou Di from the start? Or even just make him a Sovereign Realm expert and wipe out the Dou Qi Continent with a single slap?

Isn't the point of fantasy novels to watch the male protagonist level up? How does he level up? By running dungeons to get resources. I personally really enjoy the character development aspect.

I have already explained the improvements to Wang Ming, Yun Yun, and Su Wanyin; these are all reasonable. I mentioned Yun Yun's enhancement in advance, whether in the PS or the author's statement.

Then some people asked, why choose Yunyun? Because I like her, is that not allowed? I originally wanted to add Medusa, but people keep posting questions like who the female lead is and whether Medusa is included.

So you're reading fanfiction because of Medusa? There are so many Medusa-themed fanfictions out there, go read them! The original story also features a queen as the main character, why don't you read it? If you want a queen to be the best in the world, go write your own story.

Every day they ask why Medusa isn't added; they won't check the reports without Medusa! Haha, so depressing.

Don't blame me for not adding the Queen. I was originally thinking about how to get into the Queen's storyline, but these kinds of comments every day are really disgusting and make it hard for me to get interested.

I'm also a fan of the Queen, and I'm getting annoyed by these comments.

I don't know how many books depict Medusa as the male lead's simp. I know I can't write it well, so I simply don't. I didn't even handle Yun Yun's side well at the beginning. It's my fault for not writing it well. I can't write proper romance scenes. You can criticize me if you want.

But criticizing a virtual character every day, like I'm buffing Yun Yun, is wrong? She should be a Dou Huang for life, completely suppressed by Xiao Li, right? I don't understand what's the point.

The original text states at the beginning that anything is possible in the Dou Qi Continent. As long as the opportunity arises, the enhancement is reasonable. In the original work, Granny Hua was given Dou Qi empowerment, so why can't it be done here?

Or does it mean only men are allowed to be strong, but women can't be strong? Don't you understand that women hold up half the sky? The male and female leads should help each other. In the beginning, I protect you; in the middle, you protect me; and in the later stages, we protect each other. Mutual help and support is what makes the male and female leads the main characters.

Even though Xiao Li is the main character, I will still take care of the supporting characters. Supporting characters should also have their own personalities.

This book revolves around the Dou Qi Continent, not around Xiao Li. It presents the Dou Qi Continent from Xiao Li's perspective in a different way.

Ultimately, isn't fan fiction just about writing down what you want to write and then making up for regrets? What regrets in the original work are there that need to be made up for?

Some people say that since we've already time-traveled, why do we still believe in the concepts of protagonist and supporting character? I should be the time traveler, the best in the world, right?

Haha, I suggest you read "Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with Signing in to Become a Dou Di". That book is suitable for you. My cultivation-style novel is not good enough for you.

Some people keep saying the protagonist isn't strong enough. A five-star Dou Zun with eight ranks and seven colors, and even the ability to refine eight colors—that's not strong? Here's a spoiler: Xiao Li, a half-saint, can refine nine ranks! That's not strong? Then I don't understand what "strong" means.

Xiao Li's kick to Gu Yuan and his punch to Hun Tiandi, that's truly powerful, right?

Xiao Li has to hone his alchemy skills, think about the future of the Xiao family, cultivate, make plans, and refine pills for his relatives and friends. In the end, he is reduced to saying that the protagonist's talent is really trash. Haha, but given Xiao Li's personality, he really won't argue with that.

Xiao Li: "I'm just an alchemist. My talent is only that of a mere Dou Zun. So what if I'm stuck with it? Time to sleep."

Xiao Li has his own opportunities, and he will definitely become strong. Some people are late bloomers, and Xiao Li is not considered a late bloomer; he is more of a mature bloomer. Now, even if a 27-year-old youth has opportunities, he cannot control them.

Each realm has its own opportunities and challenges. Are we going to make the protagonist, a fighter, obtain a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique? We need to progress step by step, you understand? This is a long-form fan fiction, not a short story.

Regarding Wang Ming's situation, it's normal for him to be strong. He's given a power boost because he was originally the protagonist, but was discarded. His life script is essentially a background character I created, and he also possesses special physical attributes.

My longtime readers in the group should know that Wang Ming's special status is similar to the protagonist rivalry between Ye Fan and Wang Teng in the novel "Covering the Sky".

However, Wang Ming, the former protagonist, is Xiao Li's master.

I created the Heavenly Sun Body based on the Calamity Poison Body. In the original story, Little Fairy Doctor protected Xiao Yan for so long, so why couldn't Wang Ming take the lead?

Moreover, Wang Ming's system is a product of destruction and reconstruction; the current Tianyang Body can be described as Tianyang Body Pro S Max.

Some people think that all the good things should belong to Xiao Li, that he should be first in the Pill Gathering, that all the energy cores of the Gate of Life and Death should belong to Xiao Li, that the Strange Fire, the Burning Technique, and Xiao Yan's confidante should all belong to Xiao Li.

Is it a glutton? Only taking in and never giving out? You should read "Transmigrating Through Battlegrounds, I Have Everything" for someone like that.

Life is inherently imperfect, with both gains and losses; perhaps this very act of having and not having is another kind of perfection.

I know that people nowadays face a lot of pressure in their lives and want to read novels to relieve stress. I'm sorry I couldn't make you enjoy it. I'm sorry!

Some people even suggested that I refine puppets. Having a Dou Sheng puppet by my side would be safe. Haha, first of all, in the original work, there was only one Dou Sheng puppet, the Northern King.

The Northern King was indeed a force to be reckoned with, but what was Xiao Yan's cultivation level? A five-star Dou Sheng, possessing the Pure Lotus Demon Flame! A soul at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm!

The Dou Qi Continent is so vast, isn't there any way to counter puppets? The Soul Clan is renowned for its Soul Skills; the puppets obey you because of their soul imprinting, right? Can't a Heavenly Realm soul easily remove your Spirit Realm soul?

Aren't you afraid the puppet will betray you? Of course, some people will say, you're the author, you can say no and that the puppet is invincible.

Alright! Now, please enjoy "Puppet Sky"!

For a Dou Sheng puppet to protect you, your strength must be considerable. In the original novel, Xiao Yan's puppet was no more than one major realm stronger than his own cultivation. Furthermore, the puppet was a trump card, used for scheming, not for showing off.

Some people believe that creating a puppet at the Dou Sheng level would make them invincible, while others think that a puppet at the nine-star Dou Sheng level could easily defeat Gu Yuan.

Is Gu Yuan really that lacking in prestige? Even if I'm prone to overthinking, I think relying on yourself is better than relying on puppets. Puppets are just a trump card, not a universal card. At least I can't explain myself, while Xiao Li, with his puppets, can dominate the world.

Sigh~ Anyway, less than half of the comments I leave are normal comments. I'm also feeling very tired. Every day there's this question and that question, why can the supporting characters win without lifting a finger while the main characters are exhausted.

Isn't the common problem with fantasy novels that the protagonist works himself to the bone while the supporting characters are female, the confidante suddenly becomes a big shot, and the male protagonist becomes a freeloader?

So other books are fine, but I have so many questions? Is it male chauvinism or something? Stop talking about marrying a rich and beautiful woman, hooking up with a rich woman, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

Also, Xiao Li felt he had lost out when he obtained certain items but their quality didn't meet the expectations of some friends. Why not get something of higher quality? Why waste money like that?

Even Xiao Li doesn't think it's a waste, so why do you? Besides, Xiao Li is an eighth-grade alchemist; does he really need a few pills?

So, we should be able to take advantage of every opportunity for free, right? Well, thinking about it, it's not so bad. But why can't we take advantage of things for free more often in life? What a pity.

Speaking of the highlights of this book, did Xiao Yan rely entirely on Xiao Li after his birth? If he wants to become an unparalleled powerhouse, he must first spend a billion!

Xiao Yan was only born, fifteen years before the start of the story. Are you worried that Xiao Li isn't strong enough? There will definitely be scenes of Xiao Li showing off later on.

Before Emperor Yan was born, I could lie low and be timid, which was fine. But now that Emperor Yan has been born, I can finally relax, but you want to cut off my path to peace? Just wait and see if I don't mess with you.

Some friends like to teach others how to write books, how this character should be, how that character should be, how this cultivation level should be, how that cultivation level should be. No, am I the one writing or are you writing?

Here's a pen, please take a seat!

I've definitely thought all of this through and will provide explanations. As long as I think it's reasonable, that's fine. After all, it's my perspective on Battle Through the Heavens. If some friends don't like it, or think it should follow their point of view...

Please download the Author Assistant app, click to create a work, and I'll definitely come to your aid!

Ultimately, these were just angry words. I was genuinely angry, and when I'm in a bad mood, my writing becomes sluggish and the plot becomes disjointed. I felt uncomfortable keeping it to myself, so I posted it.

As for some friends who can't stand it and feel like I'm criticizing them, and who are too sensitive to handle it, there's nothing I can do about that.

Special thanks to my brothers here: Thousand Demon Saint, Jiaxuan, Passerby, Be Careful of Troubles, Summer Wood, Cherish Every Moment, River Wind Drinks Alone in the Cold Snow, Night Rain, and a few other users (sorry, the numbers are too long to remember).

The frequent comments from my older brothers are my greatest support.

As for the other brothers, I may not comment much, but I still want to thank them. If you have any thoughts, feel free to comment and let's discuss them together.

Your companionship is the greatest support.

Chapter 150 The Madness Brought by Bodhi Seeds

Kong Xuanzi's face was exceptionally rosy at this moment, and he suddenly grasped a crystal-clear and smooth bead in his palm. The bead's surface was emerald green.

"Bodhi Seed!!!" a powerful figure suddenly shouted.

That's right, the final item in this auction is a Bodhi seed!

It's no wonder that powerful figure lost his composure, because the Bodhi seed represents the hope of advancing to the Dou Sheng realm!

Bodhi seeds are the main and most crucial ingredient in refining Bodhi Pills. Bodhi Pills are Rank 8 pills capable of summoning nine-colored pill lightning, enough to drive any peak Dou Zun powerhouse mad.

The Bodhi Pill's effect is to increase the success rate of a peak Dou Zun expert when advancing to a Half-Saint by nearly 20%.

The semi-saint level is the most important foundation before stepping into the Dou Sheng level. If you can't step into the semi-saint level, then you can never think of becoming a true Dou Sheng powerhouse!

Only by reaching the level of a half-saint can one be qualified to reach the level of a fighting saint!

Breaking through from the peak of Dou Zun to the Half-Saint is known as the most difficult hurdle on the continent. Countless top Dou Zun experts are stuck at this step and cannot take that step until the end of their lives.

And that is precisely why a single Bodhi Pill could drive even the most powerful Dou Zun to madness.

With a success rate of nearly 20%, what if it succeeds? This is the hope of advancing to the Dou Sheng realm! Even becoming a Half-Saint would far surpass all Dou Zun powerhouses. No matter how powerful a Dou Zun is, they can't compete with a Half-Saint.

It should be noted that there are only a handful of semi-saint level experts on the mainland, and those who can participate in the Space Trade Fair know more or less about the seven races.

Even among the seven clans, a half-saint is an immeasurable force, so one can imagine how precious the Bodhi seed that can be used to refine the Bodhi Pill is.

Kong Xuanzi chuckled at the eager crowd, "I'm sure you've all recognized this Bodhi seed. To be honest, I also greatly desire it, but unfortunately, I have professional ethics and can only reluctantly part with it."

The owner of this Bodhi seed wants to exchange it for some pills. Of course, the quality of the pills must be at least six-colored pill lightning or higher. As for the quantity, that depends on everyone's financial resources.

I can feel your enthusiasm! So, everyone, let the bidding begin!

As soon as Kong Xuanzi finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from behind him.

"Three grade eight six-colored Dan Lei pills!"

"Four grade eight six-colored Dan Lei pills!"

"Five!"

Six!

. . . . . . .

Bidding was in full swing, and in just a few minutes, the price soared to nine grade eight six-colored pills.

"Four Seven-Colored Thunder Pills, Grade 8!"

Xiao Li began to make his offer, and his words immediately quieted down the hall!

"Five Seven-Colored Thunder Pills, Grade 8!"

An aged voice challenged Xiao Li to a bid!

"Seven Grade 8 Seven-Colored Thunder Pills!"

Xiao Li slapped the armrest and snorted coldly.

As soon as Xiao Li said this, all the powerful figures immediately focused their attention on Xiao Li's location, and many of them were already thinking of killing him to seize the treasure.

"A Grade 8 Eight-Colored Thunder Pill!" a strange voice rang out.

As soon as these words were spoken, a low murmur arose within the main hall. Although it was somewhat expected, it was still surprising. To be willing to part with an eighth-grade pill of the Eight-Colored Thunder Pill meant that they were determined to obtain this Bodhi Seed.

"three"

Xiao Li was about to shout again when he was stopped by the Heavenly Sound Elder.

“I already know that man’s identity. He has some grudges with me, so let him have it. He won’t see the sun tomorrow. Save the pills; it wasn’t easy for you and Xiao Wang to refine them.”

The Heavenly Sound Elder transmitted his voice to Xiao Li, who nodded upon hearing it and then remained silent.

"Three Grade 8 Eight-Colored Thunder Pills!"

Although Xiao Li withdrew from the bidding, the other powerful figures did not intend to give up, especially those who had not bid much before; they were waiting for this final item to be auctioned.

"Five!"

The unfamiliar voice rang out again, this time carrying five Rank 8 Eight-Colored Thunder Pills. Although Xiao Li could afford such a price, he happened to have five Rank 8 Eight-Colored Thunder Pills with him this time.

However, Xiao Li would not use them. One of them was the Yin-Yang Reversal Pill that revived Ancestor Xiao Kong. The other eight-grade, eight-colored pills were all refined during this period, either individually or together with Wang Ming.

Each one is a treasure. Xiao Li didn't know how many times he failed before he finally managed to refine these few Rank 8 Eight-Color Pills, since his success rate in refining Rank 8 Eight-Color Pills was not high.

Six!

The bidding continued, and perhaps to prevent the opponent from bidding further, the unfamiliar voice added another Rank 8 Eight-Colored Pill, bringing the total to six Rank 8 Eight-Colored Pills, which was already beyond Xiao Li's ability.

"Are there any other friends who want to bid? If not, then this Bodhi seed belongs to this friend."

Kong Xuanzi said with a smile.

A commotion erupted in the hall, but no one continued bidding. The powerful figure waved his hand and brought six different kinds of pill beasts to Kong Xuanzi.

As soon as the six pill beasts appeared, an extremely rich aroma of pills filled the air, causing many people's eyes to turn slightly red. It would be a lie to say that every Dou Zun present was tempted by such a rank eight pill with eight-colored pill lightning.

Kong Xuanzi flicked his finger, sending the perfectly round, crystal-clear emerald green bead to the man in black robes.

Xiao Li stared at the black-robed figure, watching as the man put the Bodhi seed into his storage ring. Was this person really that wealthy? Even Xiao Li himself couldn't produce six Rank 8, Rank 8 pills in such a short time.

"Old Su, do you know this person?" Xiao Li asked.

The old man Tianyin nodded: "I know him. He has some reputation in Zhongzhou. His name is Xue Wufa. He is a lawless person, just like his name. He calls himself the Black Lotus Demon Lord."

He has something in common with you: he is particularly skilled in sealing techniques and has a great interest in the art of sealing. His signature technique, the Black Lotus Heaven-Sealing Seal, is as powerful as a Heaven-rank technique.
