Ling Ying Receives the Break-Ancestor Pill and Awakens Space Control

After leaving Xiao Xun'er's Small Courtyard, a smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips beneath his mask.

Looking at the moonlight shining through the water chestnuts, he felt that his greatest gain today was not obtaining the Heart Blood Essence of the Ancient Void Dragon Royal Clan from Zi Yan, but receiving a formal reply from Xiao Xun'er.

"Is it enough to just be strong enough? I have even more motivation to become stronger now." Xiao Yan clenched his fists, feeling his whole body brimming with energy.

In Xiao Xun'er's Small Courtyard.

Xiao Xun'er touched her lips, gently raising the corners of her mouth. She looked towards the corner of the Small Courtyard and said, "Elder Ling, come out for a moment."

In the shadows, Ling Ying exchanged a glance with the green figure, then flashed to appear in front of Xiao Xun'er.

"Miss Xun'er," Ling Ying greeted.

Xiao Xun'er raised her hand, in which was a pill that continuously emitted a medicinal fragrance.

Upon seeing the pill, Ling Ying instantly remembered that he had also observed Xiao Yan refining pills while secretly watching Xiao Xun'er that morning. The highest grade pill among them was the half-step Seventh Tier Break-Ancestor Pill that Xiao Xun'er was holding!

"Miss Xun'er, this is..." Ling Ying vaguely guessed what was going on, and despite her long experience, she couldn't help but feel nervous and excited.

Xiao Xun'er smiled faintly and said, "Elder Ling, Brother Xiao Yan has always remembered your help to him. This Break-Ancestor Pill is for you."

Despite having already guessed, Ling Ying's eyes still widened in surprise.

Xiao Xun'er stretched out her hand. "Elder Ling, take it."

Faced with the Break-Ancestor Pill, which has a high probability of enabling him to break through to the Dou Zong, it would be a lie to say that Ling Ying was not tempted.

Despite working for the Ancient Clan, his value and years of service in protecting Xiao Xun'er only earned him a single ordinary Break-Ancestor Pill.

As for Xiao Yan? He said he only helped him twice in total.

One instance was when he helped defeat a group of the Misty Cloud Sect elders on Misty Cloud Mountain. Medusa and Xiao Yan themselves took on the main force, so he was basically out of danger.

One time, Black-Seal City made a move, and he fought against Dou Emperor who was much weaker than himself. The main force was Hai Bodong and Xiao Yan, and he was not in any danger.

How could these two things possibly be worth a Break-Ancestor Pill!

Ling Ying's expression was conflicted, but she still refused, saying, "Miss, what I did is not worthy of the Break-Ancestor Pill, especially since I did all this because of your orders. I feel even more unworthy of it. You should keep the Break-Ancestor Pill for yourself."

Xiao Xun'er looked at Ling Ying and shook her head, saying, "Elder Ling, Brother Xiao Yan isn't one to hold grudges. He said he would give you this pill, which means he acknowledges your help."

As for why it's because of me... Brother Xiao Yan asked me to give you the pills, but Elder Ling, please remember Brother Xiao Yan's kindness."

Ling Ying didn't refuse again, and said earnestly, "Miss Xun'er, I've remembered Young Master Xiao Yan's kindness."

Xun'er smiled with satisfaction and waved for Ling Ying to leave.

Ling Ying took the Break-Ancestor Pill and returned to the shadows.

The green-clad figure's eyes practically overflowed with envy when he saw Ling Ying return with the Break-Ancestor Pill.

She has only one thought right now: if only she had been the one sent to help Xiao Yan back then!

Break-Ancestor Pill! She didn't know how long she would have to wait to receive the reward from the Ancient Clan, but Ling Ying had already obtained it, and it was even a super Break-Ancestor Pill of the half-step Seventh Tier. With Ling Ying's accumulation, it was almost 100% certain that she would break through to the Dou Zong!

Once Ling Ying breaks through to the Dou Zong, not to mention his meteoric rise, his status will also improve significantly, making him a barely acceptable figure among the Ancient Clan.

All of this was because Ling Ying helped Xiao Yan twice!

The green figure glanced at Ling Ying with immense envy, a startling idea forming in its mind.

Following Xiao Yan seems to offer a better future than following the Ancient Clan?

On the other side.

Xiao Yan has returned to his courtyard.

Although it was late, he had no intention of going to sleep.

In fact, he stopped needing sleep to replenish his energy a long time ago; for him, falling asleep was more of a way to relax.

Now, he doesn't need to relax.

He just wants to become stronger!

Xiao Yan looked at the ring on his hand and transmitted his voice through his soul. "Teacher, teacher, emergency call!"

The ring jingled, Yao Lao floated out. "Yan'er, what is it? Your master was just cultivating to improve his Soul Power."

Xiao Yan took out a jade bottle containing Zi Yan's Heart Blood Essence: "Teacher, please protect me."

The Yao Lao understood, and the two tacitly said nothing more.

Yao Lao released his Soul Power to envelop the Small Courtyard, while Xiao Yan summoned the Earth Fire Lotus Platform and sat on it.

Xiao Yan opened his mouth and swallowed every last drop of his Heart Blood Essence from the bottle.

Zi Yan is not yet mature and does not have much energy in her body. Once her Heart Blood Essence enters Xiao Yan's body, it is directly digested by the <Spirit Devouring Body Forging Mantra> without even needing to trigger the [Heaven-Swallowing] Heaven-Swallowing Talent. The amount of energy used to improve her physique is negligible.

However, Zi Yan's Heart Blood Essence was merely a catalyst.

What Xiao Yan wanted was the spatial Heaven-Swallowing Talent belonging to the Ancient Void Dragon Royal Clan, contained within Zi Yan's Heart Blood Essence.

The <Spirit Devouring Body Forging Mantra> was activated at full power, drawing upon the powerful energy deep within the essence of the Heart Blood Essence.

Gradually, Xiao Yan felt his perception of space becoming clearer and clearer, and a sense of control arose from nowhere.

He realized that his Heaven-Swallowing Talent had awakened, and the awakened Heaven-Swallowing Talent was exactly what he expected—the most powerful Heaven-Swallowing Talent of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, [Space Mastery], or rather, [Space Control]!

One focuses on self-control, the other on domineering control.

Xiao Yan felt that if he hadn't awakened his Heaven-Swallowing Talent using Zi Yan's Heart Blood Essence, the chances of him awakening it would have been the former.

[Space Control], the effect of this Heaven-Swallowing Talent is just like its name: the simplest way to control space.

Space Lock, Space Strangulation, Space Shuttle, Space Slash, Space Gate, Space Positioning, Create Space...

Simply put, he can develop any ability related to space, as long as he wants, without any obstacles whatsoever.

Furthermore, his [Space Control] Heaven-Swallowing Talent also grants him even greater spatial affinity.

In layman's terms, it means that when he uses any spatial ability, it is easier and more powerful than for others.

"With this Heaven-Swallowing Talent, I can even fight against Dou Venerate now!" Xiao Yan said excitedly.

He originally had many tricks up his sleeve, could stack up many states, and was even confident that he could Dou Venerate, but he never thought that he could actually defeat Dou Venerate as Dou Zong.

Even though Dou Venerate wields the power of space is inferior to him in physical strength, attack power, and speed, he can still completely overwhelm him.

Now, thanks to his [Space Control], he has a means to counterbalance the spatial abilities of Dou Venerate, forcing his opponent to confront him head-on and compete in numerical terms.

But if we're talking about numerical values...

Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes... [Flame Burning] Heaven-Swallowing Talent... Possessed by the Yao Lao...

Even ordinary Dou Venerate might not be able to compare to him!
