If I Become a Dou Emperor One Day
Cao Ying and the other two left in a daze. Originally, Xuan Kongzi had summoned them to deal with the Soul Hall's problems, but now that Xiao Yan was there, the three of them had become useless.
Under Xuan Kongzi's arrangement, Xiao Yan met a Peak Dou Zun expert from the Kong Xuan Sect, known as the Void Venerate. The Void Venerable was currently preparing to break through to the Half-Saint realm and was very interested in Xiao Yan, a young Eighth Grade Alchemist.
Bodhi Pill can increase the probability of breaking through to the Half-Saint, but it's not only Bodhi Pill that has this effect. Kong Xuan Sect also has an Eighth-grade Pill Recipe that can help break through to the Half-Saint.
The current Sage Xuan Tong of the Kong Xuan Sect, who is also the Half-Saint who was invited by Xuan Yi to hunt down the Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall, owes Xuan Yi a favor for refining medicine.
Of course, the Pills that help one break through to the Half-Saint level are of the Pill Beast level. Xiao Yan's current level is not high enough to refine them. However, Void Venerate saw Xiao Yan's potential, which is why he intervened in the fight against the Soul Hall.
As for the Eighth Grade Seven-Colored Pill Lightning Pill given by Xiao Yan, Void Venerate accepted it, as it would be enough to accumulate the energy needed for the Nine Revolutions.
In the blink of an eye, the Pill Gathering will begin.
The Pill Gathering was held in the northern part of the inner region, in a huge square with a radius of nearly a thousand feet.
In the air above the square, many Stone Platform floated out of thin air, Stone Platform emitting a faint glow, appearing quite spiritual and strange.
These are the final spots for the contestants. Before that, the Alchemist must pass through two rounds of selection: the Illusion Realm Space and the Pill Realm.
The Illusion Realm Space is a dark gray space filled with dark gray gas, produced by a magical Magical Beast called the Phantom Soul Beast. It can not only obscure vision but also hinder the perception of the soul.
The Pill Realm was a space created by the Pill Tower Ancestor, containing countless rare and precious Medicinal Herbs. However, the descendants of the Pill Tower were unable to sustain it, causing the space to gradually decline. Later, the Pill Tower simply used the Pill Realm for the Pill Gathering assessment.
A clear bell rang out, its sound spreading far and wide, followed by a series of whooshing sounds. The space on the Stone Platform distorted slightly, and a dozen figures slowly emerged.
The three in the very center are naturally the Pill Tower Three Greats. Xuan Kongzi and Xuan Yi Xiao Yan have already met. As for the remaining one, Tian Lei Zi, he has dark skin and eyes like lightning. His cultivation level is not much inferior to Xuan Kongzi.
Xuan Kongzi slowly walked out, announced the procedures of the Pill Gathering and the final rewards, and after arousing the enthusiasm of the Alchemist present, he announced the start of the Pill Gathering.
Countless Alchemist unleashed their skills, swarming towards the gray space like locusts. Xiao Yan and his two companions, wearing the Alchemist badges issued by the Pill Tower, also stepped into the Illusion Realm space.
Just as Xiao Yan rushed into that dark gray, distorted space, the badge on his chest suddenly emitted a strange fluctuation.
Under the influence of this fluctuation, Xiao Yan successfully arrived at a strange, dark gray space.
The area was filled with a thick, dark gray gas, and as far as the eye could see, everything was blurred as if there was nothing at all.
However, Xiao Yan could sense that the space here had a slightly distorted feel, with many hidden Space Fold.
The two companions had disappeared, clearly separated when they entered the space.
Xiao Yan didn't search for it. Instead, he controlled his Soul Power to surge from between his eyebrows and spread out in multiple directions, completely ignoring the obstruction of the gray mist on his Soul Power. He explored all the Space Fold and dead ends, and then moved forward in a clear direction.
After walking leisurely for more than an hour, Xiao Yan finally sensed the exit.
Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly stopped.
He saw a bustling city.
"Heh, I'm starting to miss home too."
Xiao Yan sat down cross-legged leisurely and began to recall those ordinary yet peaceful days.
Back then, Xiao Yan excelled in elementary, middle and high school, far surpassing his peers. After the college entrance examination, he entered a key university and chose a popular major.
Then it got cold.
With limited talent, high school was already Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan limit. University courses were like an unattainable crown to him; there were indeed people around him who could be crowned kings, but it had nothing to do with him.
After graduating from university, I managed to get a decent job thanks to my university degree and major, and I was able to support myself and save some money.
However, I can't afford to be in a relationship.
It's not that I don't have money, it's just that I love myself more and don't have the extra feelings to love others.
Having lived a mediocre life to my thirties, having seen off my dear elders, I am still all alone.
Later, Xiao Yan arrived at the Dou Qi Continent in a daze. He was lucky and talented, and climbed up the ranks. He had people and things he cared about around him, and he hadn't looked down at them for a long time.
Xiao Yan thought about it carefully. It seemed that he had never killed anyone with his own hands in his life, but the number of people who died because of him was probably countless.
Think about it carefully, the environment of the Dou Qi Continent has no space for ordinary people to survive - Dou Qi fulfills all people's fantasies, but talent can only be possessed by a few people, and those who don't are just a bunch of ants.
Xiao Yan had never really known what the fate of ants was like, but the servants in the Xiao Family who were bossed around when he was young were already a high point that most ants could never reach in their lifetime.
"Well..."
With a soft sigh, Xiao Yan got up and continued forward.
"Once I break through to the Dou Emperor, I can change the Dou Qi Continent; once I break through to the Ruler Realm, I can change the Great Thousand World; once I surpass the Ruler Realm, 'going home' may not be impossible."
Xiao Yan's gaze was firm. He no longer glanced at the magnificent city, ignored the many Illusion Realm of past and present lives along the way, and walked straight towards the exit of the Illusion Realm space.
Half an hour later, the thick gray fog that filled the space gradually dissipated, and a twisted black hole appeared in front of Xiao Yan.
After passing through the somewhat eerie cave entrance, Xiao Yan arrived at an open space.
The space around this open area was distorted and twisted, clearly indicating that this was a spatial resting point created by a powerful figure from the Pill Tower.
At this moment, a number of people have gathered on this open space, some sitting and some standing. It is clear that Xiao Yan is one of the slower players to clear the level.
Before Xiao Yan even search for the figure he cared about in the crowd, an anxious call confirmed his direction.
"Why did it take so long?"
Hearing this caring voice, Xiao Yan smiled gently and pulled the woman who rushed forward into his arms.
"..." Xiao Yi Xian blushed. Many people around her were looking at Xiao Yan, who had just walked out of the space. After she came forward, even more people looked at her.
But Xiao Yi Xian did not resist; she simply leaned against Xiao Yan gently patted his back.
She also experienced a childhood nightmare-like Illusion Realm, so it seems that Xiao Yan hasn't always had a smooth life these past years!
