Battle Through the Heavens: Flame Emperor, Please Restrain Yourself—This Brother Is Quite Honest

With a mere thought, he could learn everything happening within his portable little world. Elder Ling was still comprehending the Power of Space and had yet to begin his breakthrough.

As his Soul Power continued to grow and broke through to the spiritual realm, his portable little world had also kept changing. Its area had expanded from a radius of ten zhang to a radius of one li, its rate of absorbing heaven and earth energy had doubled, and the energy could be refined through the Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.

Cultivating within his little world was at least four times more efficient than cultivating outside. He could enjoy this benefit even without entering it himself. To raise his cultivation, all he had to do was convert the energy of the portable little world and inject it into the Sea Urchin Dou Crystal.

This place could also be considered a blessed land. They could wait until Ling Ying either broke through to Dou Zong or confirmed that he could not before leaving.

"Mm, I'll listen to you." Qing Yanjing nodded obediently.

Originally, this world had held no color for her anymore, and her life had been as pale as a blank sheet of paper.

But Zhang Yuan's appearance had brought vibrant colors to that blank page, making her life vivid once more.

As long as it was Zhang Yuan's decision, she would agree unconditionally and support him silently from behind.

"With Elder Ling gone, we can enjoy some time alone together." Zhang Yuan reached out and lifted Qing Yanjing's chin, his eyes burning with undisguised desire.

Qing Yanjing was not shy either. She was proud to be able to make Zhang Yuan lose control like this.

Her delicate hand grasped Zhang Yuan's heat as she said softly, "Little Yuan, you have to be gentle with me~"

After that, Zhang Yuan and Qing Yanjing began living a shamelessly indulgent life.

They knew it would not be a short wait, but they had not expected it to last nearly five months.

During the first month, Zhang Yuan cultivated using the Dragon Qi within the quasi-seventh-tier Primordial Mirage Dragon Pearl, successfully advancing the Three Dragon Thunder Gang Fire into the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire.

From the second to the third month, he used the Four Dragon Thunder Gang Fire to devour Dragon Qi and temper his body, successfully refining his physique to a level comparable to a fourth-tier magical beast.

Over the following two months, he focused on cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Art and visualizing the Thunder God Diagram. He successfully broke through to the two-star Dou Ling realm, with an exceptionally stable foundation, while his soul realm also became completely stabilized.

It was at this moment that Ling Ying, who had long been comprehending the Power of Space, finally took the crucial step. He rose to his feet, his aura suddenly changing as he fully circulated his cultivation technique.

Within this little world, the Spirit Spring surged violently, with all its energy rushing toward Ling Ying and causing his aura to rise layer by layer.

Whoosh!

At the bottom of the Spirit Spring outside, which was nearly drained, Zhang Yuan opened his eyes as a glimmer of light bloomed from between his brows.

After some time spent exploring, he had discovered that whenever he observed the little world through his Soul Power, he could clearly sense every change occurring within it and form complete memories of them, as though everything were happening within his own soul.

Ling Ying was finally about to break through to Dou Zong. If he could fully record the changes in power during the breakthrough, it would be equivalent to gaining insights into breaking through to Dou Zong, allowing him to avoid many detours in the future.

Boom!

Within the small space, spiritual energy ran rampant and auras churned, but they vanished without a trace upon touching the spatial barrier.

If such a disturbance occurred outside, it would be felt by powerful experts within a thousand-li radius, or even sensed by supreme experts much farther away.

But Ling Ying was currently inside the little world, so it would not attract attention from anyone.

"This is another advantage. I can refine artifacts in the little world in the future. Even if it causes a disturbance, it won't bring trouble."

Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up as he continued watching the changes within the little world.

Although Ling Ying had only now begun his formal breakthrough, he had not neglected to continuously accumulate Dou Qi during the past five months, preparing for this final charge.

With sufficient comprehension, the continually pouring heaven and earth energy accumulated within him, helping it merge into every part of his body through wave after wave of impact.

The Power of Space became clear before Ling Ying. Though he still could not wield it with every gesture, he had already managed to borrow a portion of it.

Ling Ying began to restrain his aura and examine the changes within himself.

Zhang Yuan also withdrew his gaze at this time, rose and put on his clothes, then went to find Qing Yanjing, who was practicing Dou Techniques.

His realm needed to be raised in a controlled manner, but there was no harm in learning Dou Techniques to strengthen his combat ability.

"Sister Jing, it's time to go." Zhang Yuan came up behind Qing Yanjing and pulled her into his embrace.

"Has Elder Ling successfully broken through?" Qing Yanjing put away her longsword, her dark eyes gleaming.

If Ling Ying had succeeded in breaking through, then they would have a Dou Zong powerhouse supporting them.

"Mm, he has broken through and is getting used to his new realm." Zhang Yuan nodded. "We've stayed here for nearly half a year. It's time for us to leave as well."

Qing Yanjing naturally had no objections. She nodded obediently and said with graceful manners, "Then let's go."

Seeing how eager she was, Zhang Yuan could not help but smile. "Before you developed those one hundred and eight desserts, I remember you weren't like this."

Back then, she had been both guilty and uneasy, as though Xun Er were a lioness who would devour her at any time. She had not even dared to go to the Xiao Clan.

Qing Yanjing hugged Zhang Yuan's arm tightly and snorted softly. "Who do you think your sister was doing it for back then?"

"You've worked hard, Sister Jing." Zhang Yuan revealed a moved expression.

This was not an act.

With Xun Er's slightly scheming personality, she definitely would not do anything to Qing Yanjing—but for him, this bad man, things might not be so simple.

But if Qing Yanjing satisfied Xun Er's appetite, then after he sweet-talked her a little, he would naturally be able to make that girl accept her fate.

"Let's go!"

Exotic Fire Wings spread from Zhang Yuan's back. Holding Qing Yanjing, he flew into the sky and beckoned toward a certain spot in the void.

Guided by his Soul Power, the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl flew out of the void, lifting the seal over this space as well.

"Hmm?"

Grasping the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl, Zhang Yuan was just about to summon the Purple Thunder Cloud Eagle when he spotted several figures confronting one another ahead. Two of them instantly drew his attention.

"Yun Yun, and Queen Medusa?"
