Pre-Battle Council

"Late stage of six-star!?"

Sensing Xiao Yuan's aura, the group was all startled!

The fact that Xiao Yuan possessed five Qi Mansion was not exactly a secret to them.

At the Dou Sheng level, each star is vastly different. Xiao Yuan's sudden advancement to the late stage of the sixth star is equivalent to absorbing the energy that enabled five early-stage Five Star Dou Sheng experts to advance to the late stage of the sixth star!

All I can say is, it truly lives up to its reputation as Ninth Grade Golden Pill.

Xiao Yuan also felt a little regretful about this.

Actually, his Ninth Grade Golden Pill is still a bit lacking in terms of improving his strength.

Because the main function of this Devouring Golden Pill lies in nurturing the devouring power within the primordial fire extracted from the Nihility Devouring Flame, its effect on increasing strength is comparable to that of a Ninth-Grade Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill, but it is still somewhat inferior to a proper Golden Pill!

If it were Ninth Grade Golden Pill that enhances strength, according to Xiao Yuan's estimation, it would probably be enough to make a Seven Star Dou Sheng soar to the Eight-Star Peak or even the Nine Star Dou Sheng.

As for why it's not Five Star Dou Sheng?

Because ordinary Five Star Dou Sheng cannot withstand the medicinal power of Ninth Grade Golden Pill at all, and will directly explode and die!

If Xiao Yuan didn't have five Qi Mansion, this kind of Golden Core that enhances strength could very well have propelled him directly from Five Star Dou Sheng to Eight Star Dou Sheng!

If it weren't for its extraordinary power to seize the essence of heaven and earth, the Ninth Grade Golden Pill wouldn't be so difficult to refine.

After all, even if an ordinary alchemist were lucky enough to successfully refine such a pill, they would likely end up being suppressed by the pill itself because they couldn't control its potency, ultimately suffering a tragic fate.

"Xiao Yan will need some time to emerge from seclusion, but once he does, he'll probably be incredibly strong."

Xiao Yuan noticed that Xun'er was secretly glancing behind him, and immediately knew what she was thinking. He smiled and said...

"Oh," Xun'er said with a slight disappointment, but still smiled and said, "Xun'er congratulates Third Brother on your improved strength!"

"Hehe, I just communicated with Uncle Gu using the Communication Jade. I already know why you're here, so there's no need to say more. Xiao Yan is currently refining the energy within the Nihility Devouring Flame. Although it shouldn't be a big problem, I think he'd be very happy if he saw you the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes, so..."

Xiao Yuan smiled upon hearing this, and then reopened the passage to the Heavenly Tomb.

"Hehe, thanks, Third Brother!"

Seeing this, Xun'er's eyes brightened, she smiled at Xiao Yuan, and then couldn't wait to fly into the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Yuan remained silent, but cut off his connection to the interior of the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Yuan couldn't even imagine how terrifying the aftereffects of fusing the second and third ranked Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flames Heavenly Flame Ranking would be.

"Teacher, I have to go on another long trip."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead."

The Yao Lao nodded.

"Take me with you!"

Zi Yan rushed over, looking at Xiao Yuan with pleading eyes.

"Hehe, I should take you with me! Judging by the time, it's time to go see Cai Lin. She should be out of seclusion by now."

Xiao Yuan smiled. He was still thinking about whether he could dig the Jail Dragon Emperor out of the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion before the final battle!

To prevent the Jail Dragon Emperor from going mad upon discovering his Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, Zi Yan must be brought along.

Then, Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Yi Xian and could sense that Xiao Yi Xian aura was fluctuating.

"I'm not going; I'm about to break through."

Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile.

"Okay, then take this. It's the Bodhi Great Returning Pill, which can increase the probability of breaking through to the Dou Sheng."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan handed a jade bottle to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Good."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded with a smile.

"Then we'll set off immediately."

Xiao Yuan smiled, then tore through space and left with Zi Yan.

"Do you need any more pills? I'll refine them for you."

Yao Lao watched Xiao Yuan leave, he shook his head, then turned to Xiao Yi Xian and said with a smile.

"Thank you, teacher. I have prepared everything I needed to."

Xiao Yi Xian has been with Xiao Yuan for quite some time, and has been staying at the Starfall Pavilion recently. Although they are not officially married yet, they are considered family. Moreover, Yao Lao has helped her a lot, so changing her address is a natural thing.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything, don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and turned to leave.

Xiao Yi Xian held the jade bottle in her hand and gently exhaled.

Xiao Yuan's cultivation speed is too fast; she can hardly keep up anymore!

We need to work harder!

On the other hand, the effect of Zi Yan and Xiao Yuan working together to create a long-distance spatial teleportation channel was simply terrifying!

Therefore, not long after Xun'er arrived at the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yuan had already torn through space and entered the Ancient World.

The location was very accurate; the entrance to the passage was within 100 meters of Gu Yuan.

When the two appeared, even a powerful figure like Gu Yuan was startled.

Silently and without warning, Space Channel was opened up and appeared beside him. Even Hun Tiandi, who was also Nine Star Dou Sheng with Emperor Realm Soul, did not possess such an ability!

Huh? The Ancient Void Dragon?

When Gu Yuan saw Zi Yan beside Xiao Yuan, he raised an eyebrow.

With his discerning eye, it was not difficult for him to see that Zi Yan was no ordinary Ancient Void Dragon. Gu Yuan, who possessed the Dou Emperor Bloodline from the Ancient Clan, could naturally sense the noble aura deep within Zi Yan's bloodline.

I had heard before that Xiao Yuan had a close relationship with the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe. Now it seems that this is not just a close relationship, but a relationship so good that they share a blanket.

"Uncle Gu, this is Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe."

Upon meeting, Xiao Yuan introduced Zi Yan's identity to Gu Yuan.

As expected of the Dragon Emperor!

"Hehe, the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe has always been mysterious and unpredictable. I never expected to meet the Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe today."

Gu Yuan looked at Zi Yan and nodded with a smile.

"Greetings, Ancient Clan Chief!"

Although the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe was no less powerful than the Ancient Clan in its heyday, it is not as powerful as it used to be now. In addition, since Xiao Yuan treated Gu Yuan with the respect due to a junior, she naturally did not show the arrogance of a supreme beast, but simply smiled and bowed.

"Hehe, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Uncle Gu, like Xiao Yuan does."

Gu Yuan waved his hand and said with a faint smile.

Zi Yan smiled and nodded, but she wasn't that familiar with Gu Yuan, so it wasn't appropriate for her to call him Uncle Gu, at least not right now.

"Your aura has increased dramatically again!"

Gu Yuan glanced at Xiao Yuan and asked in surprise.

"Hmm, the effect of consuming the Ninth Grade Golden Pill is quite good."

Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Ninth Grade Golden Pill! In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen Ninth Grade Golden Pill alchemist!"

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yuan and sighed with deep emotion.

"Haha, then Uncle Gu will probably get to see a few more in the future!"

Xiao Yuan grinned.

"If someone else said this, I would just take it as a joke, but if you say it, I might actually believe it."

Gu Yuan opened his mouth upon hearing this, speechless with shock. After a moment, he smiled wryly, shook his head, and said...

"Outrageous! It's only been a short time since we last met, and he's already at the late stage of six stars?"

Amidst flashes of lightning, Lei Ying appeared beside Gu Yuan. Sensing Xiao Yuan's aura, he couldn't help but let out a surprised exclamation.

"I wouldn't be surprised if something happened to this kid."

Immediately afterward, as the flames rose, Yan Jin also appeared.

"It seems that Young Clan Leader Xiao Yuan has successfully refined the Golden Core!"

Amidst the fragrant aroma of medicinal pills, the Yao Dan themselves arrived to greet Xiao Yuan.

"Haha, how have the three clan leaders been? With the decisive battle imminent, I won't feel confident without improving my strength. After all, the Soul Clan is quite unpredictable, and more strength means more confidence!"

Xiao Yuan cupped his hands in a salute and said with a smile.

"This is Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor of the Void Ancient Dragon Tribe."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yuan introduced Zi Yan, who was standing next to him, to everyone.

"I had long heard that you were on good terms with the Ancient Dragon Clan, but I never expected that you would even invite the Dragon Emperor. You are indeed extraordinary!"

Yan Jin was among the first to know that Xiao Yuan and the Ancient Void Dragon had a good relationship, but he never expected that the Dragon Emperor was actually one of Xiao Yuan's people. He shook his head and sighed.

"Haha, let's talk about dealing with the Soul Clan first!"

Xiao Yuan was somewhat overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the clan leaders. He naturally understood that their enthusiasm was not only due to Xiao Yuan's strength, but also because of his status as Ninth Grade Golden Pill Core alchemist. Not to mention them, even Gu Yuan was extremely envious. If it weren't for Xiao Yan's connection, even Gu Yuan would probably have said a few nice words.

But Xiao Yuan wasn't there to hear flattery; he had other things to do, so he got right to the point.

Upon hearing this, the clan leaders all became solemn.

"To be honest, our recent efforts to eliminate the Soul Clan's henchmen have been quite ineffective."

Yan Jin spoke.

"Hmm, we can understand if the Soul Hall's power is withdrawn Hall of Souls Realm, but it seems that even some forces that have some relationship with the Soul Clan but are not particularly close are being withdrawn as well. This is very strange!"

Lei Ying's expression was solemn as he spoke.

"In addition, our clan's Wanhu Elder also discovered a sacrificial array in a high-level branch hall of the Soul Hall. It is currently unclear whether there are other such evil arrays elsewhere. We are conducting further investigations."

Yao Dan added.

"Well, in that case, let's all get together. Those below the Dou Sheng level should not participate. After all, the Hall of Souls Realm is the Soul Clan's stronghold. Based on my understanding of them, if we bring a large number of people in, they will probably clear the area indiscriminately."

Xiao Yuan nodded upon hearing this and said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yuan dared not underestimate a madman like the Hun Tiandi.

This is a ruthless person who would even sacrifice his entire clan and use the creatures of the Central State to refine medicine.

If you rashly lead people who are unable to protect themselves in, the losses will likely be heartbreaking.

Xiao Yuan even suspected that even ordinary low-star Dou Sheng might not be able to protect themselves.

According to his plan, if things were going smoothly, he would directly break through to the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint with Xiao Yan, and then take Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, Lei Ying, Yan Jin with him to directly enter the Hall of Souls Realm!

With three Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint experts and two Eight Star Dou Sheng experts, even if the Hun Tiandi had many backup plans, he couldn't possibly turn the tide.

Without the ability to open the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, it was impossible for the Hun Tiandi to break through to the Dou Di.

Even if he were to sacrifice his entire clan, he could not break through that constraint.

But in any case, to be on the safe side, one must improve one's own abilities as much as possible.

"Yes, the Hun Tiandi is indeed capable of such a thing!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression turned somewhat solemn.

"Be cautious. Those below the Five Star Dou Sheng should not attempt to enter the Hall of Souls Realm. Those above the Dou Sheng should wait for a signal. If there are no problems, then send a signal for them to come. Xiao Yan is still devouring and refining the Nihility Devouring Flame. I'll trouble the clan leaders to make preparations these next few days. Once Xiao Yan emerges from seclusion, we will launch our final attack! I estimate that a week should be enough."

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yuan spoke.

"Well, that's fine. Better safe than sorry. We also discovered Eight Star Dou Sheng level expert from the Soul Clan outside the Medicine Clan Space. These guys are really good at hiding their strength!"

Gu Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, the methods of the Soul Clan are truly bizarre. The day Ling'er fought with a member of the Soul Clan Soul Clan, that Eight Star Dou Sheng, Hun Yuantian, should have been dead a thousand years ago. When I fought him, I discovered that he possessed a magic weapon called the Gate of Dead Silence, which was incredibly powerful. Although he was only Early Eight-Star Dou Saint, even a mid-stage eight-star expert might not be able to defeat him! I think that the Soul Clan might have more than one expert like him!"

When this matter was mentioned, Yan Jin's expression became somewhat solemn.

"Yes, I asked Xuan Ge'er about this. Hun Yuantian is one of the Four Elders of the Soul Clan, with the strength of the early stage of the Eight Stars. Back then, all four of them were killed by Xuan Ge'er. Now that one of them has appeared, I'm afraid the other three are not completely dead. Moreover, their strength was at the Mid-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng back then. That is to say, the Soul Clan has at least one Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, three Mid-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, and one top-tier expert at the Early Eight-Star Dou Saint!"

Xiao Yuan nodded and said.

"Hiss, the Soul Clan really kept their secrets well hidden!"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances, a wave of lingering fear washing over them.

If Xiao Yuan hadn't discovered the clues in advance, they probably wouldn't have been able to imagine that the Soul Clan had such a foundation and such a plan.

"In that case, we'll gather our forces in the next few days, and then regroup in a week to attack the Hall of Souls Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan made a definitive statement.

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, the patriarchs of the other three clans all nodded.

Zi Yan had no objections; Xiao Yuan's meaning was the same as hers.

"I have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave now!"

With the matter settled, Xiao Yuan was finally able to go find Cai Lin and the Jail Dragon Emperor with peace of mind, and he cupped his hands and smiled.

Upon hearing this, the four clan leaders nodded, indicating that Xiao Yuan could do as he pleased.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan and Zi Yan joined forces again to tear open space and construct Space Channel leading to the Nine Netherworld Python Clan in the Beast Region. After bowing goodbye once more, they flashed into it.

Yan Jin pursed his lips with some regret. He was now really envious of Gu Yuan. If he had known that Xiao Yuan was so outstanding, he should have followed Gu Yuan's example and sent his daughter to Wutan City to try and match them up.

However, Yan Ling'er's condition, it's highly unlikely she'll leave the Yan Clan; it's just a matter of fate.

Moreover, this girl really gave him a headache. She had no interest in men at all and only focused on cultivation. It was truly a headache!

Well!
