Discussing the Return to the Jia Ma Empire
Standing not far from the cave entrance, Xiao Ming turned to look at the passage and said to Xue Tian beside him:
"Xue Tian, since you'll be following me from now on, there's no need to keep this place anymore. Destroy it, so that whatever the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk I left behind might have an accident. It would be such a waste to destroy those stalactites that take ten thousand years to form."
"Hmm." Upon hearing this, Xue Tian nodded without hesitation and walked directly to one side of the cave, waving his arm.
Rumble!
The immense force was transmitted from Xue Tian's thick arms to the mountainside, causing it to collapse and cave in.
After swinging her arms a few more times to attack, Xue Tian returned to Xiao Ming's back. By this time, the cave entrance in the mountain wall had been completely covered by collapsed rocks.
Upon seeing this, a pair of fiery red wings, each over a meter long, suddenly appeared behind Xiao Ming, and his body hovered in mid-air.
"Xue Tian, you've successfully transformed into human form, so you should be able to Dou Qi Wings, right?"
Seeing Xue Tian nod, Xiao Ming said, "Let's go."
It then transformed into a streak of light and flew away into the distance.
Zi Yan and Xue Tian, who remained in place, each sprouted a pair of wings and soared into the sky, chasing after Xiao Ming.
Several tens of minutes later, Xiao Ming and his group arrived at the location of the Inner Academy.
"Who goes there! Please stop!"
Just as Xiao Ming and his group were about to approach the Inner Academy's barrier, a loud shout came from within the barrier.
Hearing the question, Xiao Ming was not surprised. He steadied himself in mid-air and said loudly, "Elder Su, it is I, Xiao Ming."
Zi Yan and Xue Tian also stopped beside him.
"So it's Xiao Ming and Zi Yan." Upon hearing this, the elder inside the barrier opened it, revealing his face.
Judging from his appearance, he was Elder Su, one of the two elders Xiao Ming had met when he entered the Inner Academy.
In fact, given Xiao Ming and Zi Yan's status and abilities, they wouldn't have been stopped when returning to the Inner Academy, because this barrier has a special identification method.
Elder Su's appearance was entirely due to Xue Tian, this unfamiliar and powerful figure.
Xiao Ming had been an elder for over a year and was already quite familiar with Elder Su and the others, so Elder Su asked directly, "Xiao Ming, who is that person beside you?"
"This is the Snow Demon Sky Ape from the Monster Beast Forest. It has successfully transformed into human form and is ready to return to the Jia Ma Empire with me to see the human world," Xiao Ming introduced with a smile.
"This is Magical Beast that has transformed into human form?" Elder Su asked in surprise. Doesn't Magical Beast need to be at the Dou Zong level to transform into human form?
Why is the Snow Demon Sky Ape's Aura weaker than his?
Seeing Elder Su's puzzled expression, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "The Snow Demon Sky Ape, like Zi Yan, consumed the Form Transformation Grass, which is why it successfully transformed."
Upon hearing this, Elder Su nodded knowingly, thinking to himself that the Snow Demon Sky Ape was quite lucky.
Ordinary Magical Beast have a very high failure rate when trying to transform into human form using the Form Transformation Grass, and if they fail, their bodies may be severely damaged.
Now that Elder Su knew this unfamiliar powerful figure was brought by Xiao Ming, he didn't waste any words, simply registered them, and let them pass.
Just as Xiao Ming was leaving the border, she asked him when he would leave Xiao Ming Jia Nan Academy and when he would return to the Jia Nan Academy.
As the only Grade Six Alchemist at the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Ming is quite popular among the elders.
Having become an elder, Xiao Ming no longer lives in the original place, but has his own small courtyard in the Elder District.
After flying for a short while in the Inner Academy with Zi Yan Xue Tian, Xiao Ming landed in front of his own small courtyard.
In front of the courtyard, a burly man who looked like he had been waiting for quite some time was startled when he saw Xiao Ming and his two companions land in front of him, but then his face lit up with joy.
He strode up to Xiao Ming, his deep voice booming, "Cousin, you're finally back!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Cousin Xiao Shan, I had to go out for a bit. Sorry to keep you waiting!"
The visitor was Xiao Shan, a member of Xiao Ming's clan. Xiao Shan entered the Inner Academy a year after Xiao Ming and has been there for five years. He just graduated this year.
Having spent five years in the Inner Academy of the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, with Xiao Ming protecting him, Xiao Shan's improvement was undoubtedly enormous.
He had already broken through to the Three Star Dou Spirit, but he couldn't compare to Xiao Ming. Not to mention Xiao Ming, even within the Inner Academy, Three Star Dou Spirit level cultivation at graduation was only considered average.
However, the Jia Nan Academy Inner Courtyard is a place that gathers geniuses from all over the world, and this level of cultivation is really quite good for Xiao Shan, whose talent was not particularly strong to begin with.
With this level of cultivation, he could be considered a master in the Jia Ma Empire, and he became the strongest member of the Xiao Family besides Xiao Ming.
It's worth mentioning that Xiao Shan's physique has become increasingly outrageous in recent years, rivaling that of the Snow Demon Sky Ape in human form.
Xiao Ming, who had grown quite tall in recent years, actually appeared rather thin in front of him.
Xiao Ming initially thought that Xiao Shan was naturally tall, but later he discovered that it was the effect of Xiao Shan's Profound Tier High Grade Cultivation Method, "Mountain Yue Technique," Cultivation Method Xiao Ming had given him.
Xiao Ming hadn't expected this Cultivation Method to have such an effect.
Having spent seven years together with Xiao Shan Xiao Ming Shan naturally felt at ease with himself.
After replying to Xiao Ming that it was alright, he turned his curious gaze to Xue Tian.
"Cousin, who is this?"
"His name is Xue Tian, a Dou Wang level expert. He will be returning to the Jia Ma Empire with us this time."
Returning to the Jia Ma Empire was something Xiao Ming had planned long ago. Now that he was staying at the Jia Nan Academy, his cultivation speed was not as fast as before. In addition, breaking through from Dou Wang to Dou Emperor was another hurdle. He wanted to plan his move on to the Nether Poison Flame and the Green Lotus Core Flame.
In addition, he also wanted to go to the Nalan Family to exchange the Seven Illusory Green Spirit Saliva for his teacher, Elder Huo.
This will help him break through to the Grade Six Alchemist.
Zi Yan, who was standing to the side, had already overheard Xiao Ming's conversation with Elder Su about his intention to leave. Now, hearing him mention leaving to Xiao Shan again, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Xiao Ming, I want to go back with you!"
Zi Yan had long wanted to find a reason to leave the Inner Academy and venture out into the world, but Great Elder Su Qian refused to let her leave alone.
Now that Xiao Ming is leaving, this is a good opportunity, and she must seize it. Moreover, after Xiao Ming leaves, there will be no one to refine pills for her, which she cannot tolerate. She doesn't want to continue eating those unpalatable medicinal herbs.
Xiao Ming had anticipated Zi Yan's request and simply nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but once you're outside, you have to listen to me and not wander off, or I'll definitely bring you back."
Xiao Ming knew Zi Yan very well. She was a restless person with strong abilities, fearless and often wandered off. So, they needed to make an agreement, otherwise she might cause a lot of trouble.
"Okay, I'll go tell the Great Elder right away!"
Upon seeing that Xiao Ming agreed to take her back, Zi Yan's face lit up with joy, and she disappeared in a flash.
"Senior Zi Yan is still so energetic!"
Looking at the spot where Zi Yan disappeared, Xiao Shan said with a sigh.
Over the years, he naturally got to know Zi Yan.
When he first met Zi Yan, he thought Zi Yan was the granddaughter of some elder. When Xiao Ming told him that Zi Yan was stronger than him and that he should be careful not to anger her, he was a little skeptical and thought Xiao Ming was joking.
Who is Xiao Ming? He's the number one genius at the Jia Nan Academy. How could this little girl be better than him?
Who could do that? He certainly didn't believe it.
Until he saw Zi Yan slap a Strong Ranking expert at the Dou Spirit Peak, severely injuring him.
Xiao Shan then realized that Xiao Ming the truth; he wasn't joking. This little girl's strength was truly terrifying.
Ever since witnessing Zi Yan's ruthlessness, Xiao Shan has kept his distance from Zi Yan, daring not to have too much contact with her, for fear of getting hurt and being bedridden for days.
