Dou Qi Continent, Jia Ma Empire.
This magnificent city appearing beneath the clouds was the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Ma Holy City.
Under the veil of night, Jia Ma Holy City resembled a crouching giant beast, filling one with awe.
At this moment, in the back mountains of the Jia Ma Imperial Palace, an old man in hemp robes sat upon a massive boulder beside a vast lake.
The calm lake rippled slightly as a powerful, imposing aura slowly emanated from its depths.
"Old Jia, you've come!" A muffled voice drifted up from the bottom of the lake.
This hemp-robed old man was none other than the current guardian of the Imperial Family, Jia Xing Tian!
Jia Xing Tian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I felt troubled, so I came to chat with you."
"Are you worried about the Imperial Family?" The muffled voice sounded again.
Jia Xing Tian replied, "The influence of the Misty Cloud Sect grows stronger by the day. It sits just north of the Imperial Capital, and it will inevitably threaten Jia Ma Holy City in the future. I must be on guard."
"The Imperial Family is currently lacking in talent, with only two young girls; it is indeed difficult to hold things together alone. However, I see that the current eldest princess, Yaoye, though young, is calm in character and possesses great wisdom. Perhaps she can take charge of the Jia Ma Empire in the future."
The voice from the lake bottom spoke again, and then the calm surface began to bubble. As a massive column of water shot into the sky, a gargantuan magical beast surged out from the lake.
Jia Xing Tian looked at the terrifying giant beast before him without a hint of panic. This was his old friend, the mysterious guardian beast of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon!
The Nether Sea Flood Dragon looked at Jia Xing Tian with eyes like lanterns and said, "Although much of my strength has faded, I can still suppress the Misty Cloud Sect for you for some time. In twenty years at most, the Imperial Family must produce a new pillar of strength!"
Hearing the words of the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, Jia Xing Tian could not help but sigh.
Suddenly!
"Waa—"
A crisp, loud cry of an infant erupted from the nearby forest.
Jia Xing Tian was startled, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. After exchanging a glance with the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, he moved his feet and instantly dashed toward the forest.
In less than three breaths, Jia Xing Tian returned, but he now held a delicate, doll-like infant in his arms!
"How could an infant appear in the back mountains of the Imperial Palace?" The Nether Sea Flood Dragon looked at the baby in Jia Xing Tian's arms with some confusion.
Jia Xing Tian was also puzzled. The Jia Ma Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, and this back mountain area was a restricted zone for the Imperial Family. How could an ordinary person have made it here?
The infant in his arms opened a pair of dark, round eyes and stopped crying the moment Jia Xing Tian picked him up.
Seeing the massive, terrifying Nether Sea Flood Dragon, the baby showed no fear at all. Instead, he babbled and reached out his tiny hands toward the air.
Seeing the infant so clever and spirited, Jia Xing Tian felt a tremor in his heart.
"Could this be a gift from the heavens to my Jia Ma Imperial Family? Is this truly destiny?" Jia Xing Tian murmured.
"Since it is destiny, why not keep him in the Imperial Family to be raised?" The Nether Sea Flood Dragon said slowly.
Jia Xing Tian did not hesitate. He chuckled and said, "Very well. Since you also believe it is destiny, then we shall keep this child. From now on, I will call you Jia He."
"I hope that in the future, you will possess a resounding reputation within the Jia Ma Empire!"
The infant in Jia Xing Tian's arms was completely bewildered at this moment.
"Jia Ma Imperial Family?"
"Could it be that I have transmigrated into the world of the novel Battle Through the Heavens? Is this old man Jia Xing Tian?"
"And this magical beast in front of me, could it be the Imperial Family's guardian beast, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon?"
In an instant, Jia He understood his current situation.
In his previous life, Jia He was just an ordinary wage slave. Between working day and night and constant overtime, he finally died suddenly late one night.
He just never expected that he would actually transmigrate.
And the novel Battle Through the Heavens happened to be the first novel Jia He ever read. Now that he had transmigrated here, it could be considered a closed loop.
Although he didn't transmigrate into one of the ancient Dou God Clans, being able to live within the Jia Ma Imperial Family meant he would at least be free from worries about food and clothing!
Just then, a grand, heavenly sound echoed in Jia He's mind:
[You have transmigrated into a fantasy world and awakened the wisdom of your previous life, receiving a Great Dao Blessing and obtaining Heaven-Defying Comprehension!]
Jia He was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic: "Is this my golden finger?"
Heaven-Defying Comprehension—this golden finger was excellent. If he practiced cultivation techniques and Dou skills in the future, wouldn't he be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort?
Jia Xing Tian was also very happy. This little fellow had a connection with him, so he decided on the spot to take Jia He as his disciple and help him practice cultivation techniques in the future!
"Old Jia, first see how this little fellow's aptitude is," the Nether Sea Flood Dragon reminded him.
Jia Xing Tian nodded and said, "Right, let me see!"
Jia Xing Tian raised his palm, and a surge of Dou Qi instantly poured into Jia He's body, traveling along his meridians.
[You perceive the operation and essence of Dou Qi. With your insights, you trigger Heaven-Defying Comprehension and comprehend the Great Dao cultivation technique, Qi Scripture!]
In an instant, a suction force erupted within Jia He's body. The spiritual energy in the surrounding area was gradually drawn to him, pouring into his body and transforming into Dou Qi!
Jia Xing Tian and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon saw the anomaly in Jia He and immediately widened their eyes.
Jia Xing Tian reacted with lightning speed, waving his sleeve to cast a Dou Qi barrier that instantly enveloped the entire back mountain.
Such an anomaly clearly meant he had struck gold, and if the Misty Cloud Sect discovered it, the consequences would be dire.
As the Qi Scripture within Jia He began to circulate on its own, spiritual energy poured into his body incessantly, transforming into Dou Qi, and his strength climbed steadily.
[Dou Qi stage one, stage two, stage three... stage nine]
The meridians within Jia He were filled with Dou Qi, gradually expanding in size.
Jia Xing Tian furrowed his brows and muttered, "This is bad. The Dou Qi in this little guy's body has reached a critical point; if it isn't controlled and guided, he might explode and die!"
With that, Jia Xing Tian prepared to intervene directly to suppress the rampaging Dou Qi within Jia He.
Just then, the Dou Qi inside Jia He suddenly contracted, surging rapidly toward his lower abdomen.
Under the shocked gazes of Jia Xing Tian and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, the restless Dou Qi abruptly condensed.
"Pop!"
A faint, muffled sound echoed, and the man and the beast were astonished to discover that the little guy had leaped straight to the rank of Dou Zhe.
Terrifying!
"This, how is this possible?" Jia Xing Tian said, unable to believe his eyes.
The Nether Sea Flood Dragon had lived for many years, yet this was the first time it had witnessed such a sight.
The Nether Sea Flood Dragon gave a bitter smile and said, "Could this be the legendary genius?"
"More than a genius? This is a monster. To become a Dou Zhe in infancy—I dare not imagine what kind of powerhouse he will become in the future. Truly, heaven blesses the Jia Ma Imperial Family!" Jia Xing Tian said, feeling immensely fortunate.
The Nether Sea Flood Dragon nodded its massive head upon hearing this and said, "Indeed, nurture this little guy well."
