Xiao Yi Xian Breaks Through, Recounts, Begins Absorption

Small Courtyard in the air

Xiao Yi Xian was enveloped in poisonous mist, resembling a green cocoon.

Outside the poisonous fog, Medusa's nine-colored Dou Qi prevented the fog from leaking out.

With Xiao Yi Xian's current cultivation level, this is just a scattered amount of poison gas.

Even so, Medusa still used all her strength.

The gap between Dou Zong and Dou Venerate is like an insurmountable chasm.

Even though she was already Eight-Star Dou Zong and possessed the bloodline of the Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python, she still needed to rely on her own devouring Heaven-Swallowing Talent to absorb a large amount of the Power of Heaven and Earth in order to barely keep her Dou Qi from being completely depleted.

"This breakthrough has taken far too long, a full half-month, keeping me trapped here for a full half-month," Medusa grumbled somewhat displeased.

Just then, a voice she had been longing for suddenly rang out.

"Xian'er is currently at the Peak Dou Venerate, so each breakthrough naturally takes an extremely long time."

Medusa looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Yan's smiling face.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, who was enveloped in poisonous mist, and casually summoned the Nether Poison Flame.

The Poison Fire enveloped Xiao Yi Xian, preventing the poison from escaping, while simultaneously slowly injecting the toxins within the flames into Xiao Yi Xian body, helping Xiao Yi Xian break through her cultivation level more quickly.

Queen Medusa, now free, relaxed slightly and crossed her arms. "Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to be back so soon."

While assisting Xiao Yi Xian in her breakthrough, Xiao Yan replied to Medusa, "Things went relatively smoothly; we didn't encounter any particularly difficult challenges."

"That would be best." Queen Medusa smiled slightly.

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to sense Xiao Yan's presence and worked even harder to break through her cultivation level.

Centered on the Small Courtyard, the energy of heaven and earth from the entire Yan City converged there.

The energy of heaven and earth transformed into a pillar of light, which poured into Xiao Yi Xian's body, making the color of the Nether Poison Flame even deeper.

The next second, Xiao Yi Xian, who was enveloped in the poisonous mist, opened her eyes, and her aura suddenly erupted.

Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He secretly used his [Heaven-Swallowing] Heaven-Swallowing Talent to devour all the Dou Qi that Xiao Yi Xian was emitting, and then transferred it to the Nether Poison Flame to help it grow.

Soon, all the poison was absorbed into Xiao Yi Xian's body.

Xiao Yan put away the Nether Poison Flame, Xiao Yi Xian instantly appeared in front of Xiao Yan, her eyes filled with affection. "Xiao Yan, you're back."

"Yes, things are going quite smoothly, a bit faster than expected."

"I didn't expect you to break through your cultivation level in such a short time," Xiao Yan said.

"It was just luck. Now that my cultivation has broken through to the First-Turn Dou Venerate, I can finally help you more." Xiao Yi Xian smiled, her slender white fingers curving gracefully.

"By the way, where are Zi Yan and Qing Lin?" Xiao Yan asked.

Queen Medusa replied, "It's that little girl Zi Yan. She said she was going to take Qing Lin along to search for treasure, and it seems they went to the mountain range that separates the Inner Academy Outer Academy of the Jia Nan Academy."

Xiao Yan nodded knowingly, and then told Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa about his experience on this trip.

He recounted that when he arrived there, he did not see the so-called Secret Realm, and it took him a long time to sense the Secret Realm and open up Space Channel.

She then recounted how she was being targeted by the Old Ghost Zhaixing and the Old Man Mu Gu, which instantly worried Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian, and further fueled their intense killing intent towards the Soul Hall.

After hearing that Xiao Yan had successfully killed the two, the two women gradually calmed down.

Xiao Yan recounted his encounter with the Dou Di Remnant Soul, revealing his identity as the Soul Spirit Emperor and stating that he was, in a sense, the successor of the Soul Spirit Emperor.

Xiao Yi Xian looked surprised, never expecting that the Soul Dou Skill and Cultivation Technique she learned from Wan Ling Emperor actually came from another Dou Emperor, and they even happened to encounter the Dou Di Remnant Soul.

As for Medusa, she was completely confused and it took her a while to understand what was going on.

Xiao Yan had gone to the land of a Dou Di Inheritance named Wan Ling Emperor with Xiao Yi Xian a long time ago. He inherited that Dou Emperor's Cultivation Technique and Soul Skill, and also learned the Soul Technique and Soul Skill of another Dou Emperor from there.

Now, Xiao Yan has encountered another Dou Di Remnant Soul, who has a close relationship with the Wan Ling Emperor and is the true owner of the Soul Technique and Soul Skill that the Wan Ling Emperor passed on to Xiao Yan.

Medusa was only slightly surprised that Xiao Yan had such an opportunity, but she wasn't jealous; she was genuinely happy for Xiao Yan.

However, at the same time, Xiao Yan's experience with Xiao Yi Xian left her feeling a little lost.

Compared to Xiao Yi Xian, she not only falls short in strength, but also seems to have fewer emotional bonds to rely on.

Xiao Yan noticed Medusa's unusual expression and immediately shifted his attention.

He infused his Soul Power into the Nether Sea Storage Ring, summoning the Soul Spirit Emperor to appear.

The Soul Spirit Emperor, having left the Storage Ring, seemed unaware of the outside world and what had transpired.

Xiao Yan gave a brief explanation, which helped the Soul Spirit Emperor understand the situation.

The Soul Spirit Emperor understood that he was in this remote place in the Northwest Continent, and that the two women in front of him were people who had had close contact with his disciple. He nodded knowingly.

Then, he looked at Xiao Yi Xian and Queen Medusa with a strange gaze.

"A Woe Poison Body successfully controlled using Nether Poison Flame."

"One is Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python in its complete form, comparable to Dou Emperor."

"Disciple, these two women beside you are no ordinary people," the Soul Spirit Emperor exclaimed in rare surprise.

Xiao Yan didn't reply, but said to Xiao Yi Xian Medusa, "Xian'er, Queen, please tell our Third Master about the current situation on the continent and the state of our forces."

"I need to go and process the harvest now."

"Yes, leave it to us," Xiao Yi Xian.

"I will explain everything clearly." Medusa remained calm, showing no fear despite the Soul Spirit Emperor's powerful background.

Xiao Yan was relieved to see this, and left the Soul Spirit Emperor's soul outside while he went into the bedroom.

After entering the room, he used his Soul Power to seal off the entire room.

He summoned the Yao Lao and instructed him to protect him.

Xiao Yan then took out the Earth Fire Lotus Platform.

Inside the bedroom, the Earth Fire Lotus Platform was undoubtedly a bit too large, but it seemed to have acquired some sentience in this era, and under Xiao Yan's deliberate guidance, it shrank in size.

He sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, the flames of Yin-Yang Dual Flame still sealed within it.

As Xiao Yan entered, the black and white flames immediately became agitated.

The Yin-Yang Dual Flame, with the pure Yang Flame containing the power of endless life, can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded, representing healing.

The pure Yin Flame possess a bone-corroding, heart-burning power, capable of incinerating everything, representing destruction.

The two flames, one alive and one dead, one yang and one yin, each possess characteristics no less than most other Heavenly Flames.

However, in Xiao Yan's perception, these two effects were not the most important characteristics of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame.

Two flames merge into one, life and death become intertwined, yin and yang intermingle.

At this moment, the true characteristics of Yin-Yang Dual Flame begin to manifest.

It's not about life and death, nor about birth and destruction, but rather a somewhat simple characteristic.
