Dou Qi Continent, Jia Ma Empire.
This magnificent city beneath the clouds was the Imperial Capital of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Ma Holy City.
Under the night sky, Jia Ma Holy City resembled a crouching behemoth, inspiring awe.
At this moment, in the back mountain of the Jia Ma Imperial Palace, an old man in hemp robes sat atop a massive rock beside the enormous lake at the mountain's peak.
The calm lake rippled faintly as a powerful, formidable aura slowly rose from its depths.
"Old Jia, you're here!" A muffled voice came from beneath the lake.
This old man in hemp robes was Jia Xing Tian, the current protector of the Imperial Family!
Jia Xing Tian nodded slightly. "Mm. I've been feeling troubled, so I came to talk to you."
"You're worried about the Imperial Family?" The muffled voice sounded again.
Jia Xing Tian said, "The Misty Cloud Sect has been growing stronger by the day. It sits north of the Imperial Capital and will inevitably threaten Jia Ma Holy City in the future. I have no choice but to remain vigilant!"
"The Imperial Family is dwindling in talent now. There are only two little girls, so it truly is difficult to hold things up alone. However, although the current eldest princess, Yaoye, is young, she is calm by nature and intelligent. Perhaps she can take control of the Jia Ma Empire in the future."
The voice beneath the lake spoke again. Then, bubbles gradually rose across the tranquil surface. When a massive column of water shot into the sky, an enormous Magical Beast burst from the lake.
Jia Xing Tian showed no alarm as he looked at the terrifying giant beast before him. 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's huge lantern-like eyes turned toward Jia Xing Tian. "Though much of my strength is gone, I can still help you suppress the Misty Cloud Sect for some time. Within twenty years at most, the Imperial Family must produce a new pillar strong enough to hold up the heavens!"
Hearing the Nether Sea Flood Dragon's words, Jia Xing Tian could not help but sigh.
Suddenly!
"Waa—"
A crisp, resounding infant's cry suddenly rang out from the nearby forest.
Jia Xing Tian's heart jolted. A sharp glint flashed through his eyes. After exchanging a look with the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, he moved and instantly darted into the woods.
In less than three breaths, Jia Xing Tian returned, only now there was a delicate, jade-like infant in his arms!
"How could this baby have appeared in the back mountain of the Imperial Palace?" The Nether Sea Flood Dragon looked at the infant in Jia Xing Tian's arms in confusion.
Jia Xing Tian was equally puzzled. The Jia Ma Imperial Palace was heavily guarded, and this back mountain was an Imperial Family forbidden ground. How could an ordinary person possibly come here?
The infant in his arms stared with a pair of round black eyes. The moment Jia Xing Tian picked him up, he stopped crying.
Now, upon seeing the enormous and frightening Nether Sea Flood Dragon, he showed no fear at all. Instead, he babbled happily and stretched out his tiny hand to grasp at the air.
Seeing how clever and lively the infant was, Jia Xing Tian was deeply shaken.
"Could this be a gift from Heaven to the Jia Ma Imperial Family? Is this fate?" Jia Xing Tian murmured.
"Since it is fate, why not keep him in the Imperial Family and raise him?" the Nether Sea Flood Dragon said slowly.
Jia Xing Tian did not hesitate. He chuckled. "Fine. Since you also believe it is fate, we'll keep this child. From now on, you shall be called Jia He."
"I hope that one day, you will earn a great and glorious name in the Jia Ma Empire!"
However, the infant in Jia Xing Tian's arms was already completely dumbfounded.
The Jia Ma Imperial Family?
Did I transmigrate into the world of the Battle Through the Heavens novel? Could this old man be 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 had been an ordinary office worker. With his days and nights reversed and endless overtime, he had finally died suddenly late one night.
He just had not expected that he would transmigrate.
Battle Through the Heavens had also been the first novel Jia He ever read. Now that he had transmigrated here, it could be considered a full circle.
Although he had not transmigrated into one of those ancient Dou God Clans, being able to live within the Jia Ma Imperial Family meant he would at least never lack food or clothing!
Just then, a majestic heavenly voice resounded in Jia He's mind:
[You have transmigrated into a fantasy world and awakened the wisdom of your previous life. You have received the Great Dao Blessing and obtained Heaven-Defying Insight!]
Jia He froze for a moment, then was overjoyed. Is this my cheat ability?
Heaven-Defying Insight—this cheat ability was pretty good. If he cultivated techniques and Dou Skills in the future, would he not be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort?
Jia Xing Tian was also delighted. This little fellow was fated to meet him, so he immediately decided to take Jia He as his disciple and help him cultivate techniques in the future!
"Old Jia, first take a look at this little fellow's aptitude," the Nether Sea Flood Dragon reminded him.
Jia Xing Tian nodded. "All right, I'll take a look!"
Jia Xing Tian raised his hand, and a stream of Dou Qi instantly entered Jia He's body, traveling through his meridians.
[You comprehend the circulation and essence of Dou Qi. Enlightenment arises within your heart, triggering Heaven-Defying Insight. You have comprehended the Great Dao cultivation technique, the Qi Scripture!]
In an instant, a powerful suction force suddenly emerged within Jia He's body. The spiritual energy around him was gradually drawn toward him, pouring into his body and transforming into Dou Qi!
When Jia Xing Tian and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon saw Jia He's abnormal state, their eyes widened in shock.
Jia Xing Tian reacted quickly. With a sweep of his sleeve, a Dou Qi barrier instantly enveloped the entire back mountain!
Such an abnormal phenomenon clearly meant he had found a treasure. If people from the Misty Cloud Sect discovered it, the consequences would be unthinkable!
As the Qi Scripture in Jia He's body began circulating on its own, spiritual energy continuously poured into him and transformed into Dou Qi. His strength kept rising without pause!
[Dou Qi Level One, Level Two, Level Three... Level Nine]
The channels within Jia He's body were filled with Dou Qi and gradually expanded.
Jia Xing Tian frowned. "Not good. The Dou Qi in this little fellow's body has reached its limit. If it isn't controlled and guided, he may explode and die!"
As he spoke, Jia Xing Tian prepared to act directly and suppress the Dou Qi within Jia He's body.
At that very moment, the Dou Qi within Jia He's body suddenly contracted, and all the Dou Qi throughout his body rapidly rushed toward his lower abdomen!
Under the utterly horrified gazes of Jia Xing Tian and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon, that restless Dou Qi abruptly condensed!
Bang!
A faint muffled sound rang out, and the man and beast discovered in astonishment that the little fellow had leaped straight into the Dou Zhe realm!
Terrifying indeed!
"H-How is that possible?" Jia Xing Tian said in disbelief.
Even after living for so many years, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon had never seen anything like this before.
The Nether Sea Flood Dragon gave a bitter laugh. "Could this be the legendary genius?"
"More than a genius—he is simply a monster! Becoming a Dou Zhe as an infant... I don't even dare imagine what kind of expert he will become in the future. Heaven truly blesses the Jia Ma Imperial Family!" Jia Xing Tian said gratefully.
The Nether Sea Flood Dragon nodded its massive head. "Indeed. Raise this little fellow well!"
