The First Female Dou Emperor Xiao Chen Trained

As time passed, the dark green poison water actually began to fade.

Standing beside the pool, Xiao Chen could vaguely see Xiao Yi Xian sitting upright, her slender, fair neck and slim waist tracing alluring curves.

What made Xiao Chen's expression strangest was that, as Xiao Yi Xian absorbed the deadly poison, her body seemed to be slowly growing!

Although only two days had passed, it felt as though two years had gone by.

Her pretty face rapidly shed its childish immaturity, growing mature.

And her aura had now stabilized at the Dou Ling level.

It was advancing toward Dou Wang at an extremely steady pace.

Xiao Chen had long since lain down on a bamboo chair. Over the past two days, he had Little Gold capture some of the Dou Qi Continent's unusual races.

There was a race shaped like bamboo, about three feet tall, with perfectly round eyes.

There was a race as short as dwarfs, resembling children, yet with white eyebrows, white hair, and blue-green eyes.

There was a race with luminous wings on their backs, their wings like glazed glass. When they beat their wings, fine dust scattered, sprouting tiny glowing mushrooms about an inch tall wherever it landed.

There was a race wrapped in clouds, shaped like jellyfish, floating ethereally in the air.

There were little beasts that ate iron and chewed stone, their heavy scales making them look like rocks when they curled up.

However, none were particularly strong.

Xiao Chen lost interest after studying them for just a day.

Another day passed, and the dark green poison water turned completely clear and transparent, revealing a perfect, delicate body like mutton-fat jade within the clear water.

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes. Pale purple light flashed through them, yet did not fade.

Immediately afterward, she sensed a bright gaze.

Xiao Yi Xian abruptly raised her eyes.

Their gazes met, and Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks instantly burned.

She immediately released poison gas, turning the entire pool inky black and completely concealing her perfect body.

Quickly putting on her dress, Xiao Yi Xian flew out of the poison pool, her Dou Qi erupting to shake off the poisonous water.

Then she inhaled through her rosy little mouth. Poison gas rose from the pool, condensed into a stream, and flew entirely into her mouth.

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's now pale purple eyes, Xiao Chen smiled slightly. "Congratulations. You've completely mastered the Woeful Poison Body."

Her cheeks still slightly flushed, Xiao Yi Xian bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen. "It was all thanks to your help, Teacher."

"This is only the beginning. Our task this time is to turn Poison Cloud Mountain into a poison-free mountain," Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes shifted slightly.

"Let's first go to the Purple Wood Forest Yin Yuandong mentioned. Since it's shrouded in deadly poisonous miasma year-round, we'll collect all of it."

The two headed down the mountain, traveling northwest.

Half an hour later.

A stretch of gray mist emerged ahead.

From a distance, it looked like gray ribbons drifting down into the mortal world, dim and gloomy, strikingly conspicuous in daylight.

Beneath the gray mist lay a Purple Wood Forest that stretched beyond sight.

Its trees were laden with deadly poisonous fruit.

But to Xiao Yi Xian, those were all excellent supplements.

After Xiao Chen nodded, Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward into the Purple Wood Forest.

At that instant, the deadly poisonous miasma swept toward her of its own accord, gathering frantically around her delicate body.

Moreover, it gathered faster and faster.

In the end, a vortex of deadly poisonous miasma several yards across actually formed above the Purple Wood Forest.

At the center of the vortex stood Xiao Yi Xian.

"As expected of the Woeful Poison Body. What a commotion," Xiao Chen remarked with a sigh.

Little Gold rolled his eyes on his shoulder.

When it came to causing a commotion, who could possibly outdo you?

As time passed, those brightly colored poisonous fruits actually fell off on their own. Various toxins seeped out of them and combined with the Dou Qi in the air, gathering into mottled poison-gas energy.

The multicolored vortex of poison-gas energy slowly rotated in midair, continuously drawing in the surrounding worldly energy and deadly poisonous miasma. As its suction gradually strengthened, even poisonous substances outside the Purple Wood Forest began faintly converging toward the small valley.

Xiao Chen naturally noticed this and nodded in satisfaction.

This saved quite a bit of effort.

Some of Poison Cloud Mountain's unusual races were also extremely sensitive to energy. Such powerful fluctuations here naturally drew their attention.

However, news that an extremely terrifying human had recently arrived on Poison Cloud Mountain had long since spread throughout the mountain.

Thus, not a single living creature dared approach.

Looking up at the huge, multicolored vortex of poison-gas energy in midair, Xiao Chen set out his bamboo chair and lay down comfortably.

"Little Gold, I reckon Xiao Yi Xian will break through to Dou Wang after this round of absorption. What do you think?"

Little Gold said nothing, merely watching that graceful figure whose aura was growing ever stronger, an unusual gleam in his eyes.

"Such a cultivation speed is truly rare," he murmured inwardly, shaking his head gently.

As time passed, the huge, multicolored vortex of poison-gas energy in midair grew increasingly dense.

Xiao Yi Xian circulated her cultivation technique, continuously absorbing enormous amounts of energy from it.

Time quietly slipped by like this.

Before they knew it, the sun rose and the moon set, and a day had passed.

At last, Xiao Yi Xian, standing quietly in place, drew the final wisp of deadly poisonous miasma into her body.

After several breaths, her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

As her eyes opened, dense poison gas immediately flashed through her beautiful gray-purple eyes.

At the same time, a vast, chilling aura suddenly erupted.

Cracks as thick as arms spread like a spiderweb from beneath Xiao Yi Xian's feet, finally covering every corner of the Purple Wood Forest.

"So this... is what being a Dou Wang feels like..."

Xiao Yi Xian slowly spread her fair hands, her gaze dazed as she felt the vast Dou Qi within her, like a mountain torrent bursting forth.

In just a few days, she had entered the ranks of the Jia Ma Empire's powerhouses.

It truly felt like a dream.

Whoosh!

Gray-purple wings abruptly sprang from Xiao Yi Xian's back.

"Dou Qi Transformation Wings..."

Tilting her head slightly, Xiao Yi Xian looked at the gray-purple wings extending from her back. The sensation was rather strange.

"A Five-Star Dou Wang. Such speed is truly astonishing."

Xiao Chen's admiring voice rang out.

With a slight stir of Xiao Yi Xian's will and a gentle beat of her wings, she shot upward like an arrow loosed from its bow, instantly rising from the ground and turning into a blurry streak of gray-purple light that rushed straight into the clouds.

An unprecedented sense of freedom and control filled her heart, as though this world lay entirely between her wings.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at their final destination.

The poisonous swamp on Poison Cloud Mountain.

Under Xiao Chen's expectant gaze, Xiao Yi Xian helplessly walked into the poisonous swamp.

The first thing she sensed was the unbelievably concentrated, pure poison.

She did not need to actively absorb it at all; the deadly poison seeped into her body on its own.

The liquid in the poisonous swamp was rather viscous, and visibility was limited here as well.

Xiao Yi Xian tightened her hands slightly, then gritted her teeth and moved, breaking through the poisonous swamp and rapidly descending toward its bottom.

The farther she went from the swamp's surface, the more concentrated and pure the poison within the pitch-black, viscous liquid became.

On this Dou Qi Continent, probably even a Dou Zong expert would be unwilling to enter such a place.

But Xiao Yi Xian knew clearly that her teacher intended for her to break through to Dou Emperor here!

After sinking to the bottom of the swamp, Xiao Yi Xian sighed somewhat helplessly.

She was actually rather fastidious about cleanliness herself.

In the past, if someone had asked her to burrow down to the bottom of a swamp, she would never have agreed.

Thinking of Xiao Chen's face, always bearing that faint smile, Xiao Yi Xian's lips quietly curved upward. Then her hands swiftly formed a cultivation seal.

Her eyes gradually closed as well.

In just a few minutes, Xiao Yi Xian smoothly entered a state of cultivation.

Then a fierce suction slowly surged out of her body.

As the suction swelled, this pitch-black region filled with concentrated deadly poison immediately grew restless.

Venom so concentrated it induced nausea continuously surged toward Xiao Yi Xian's delicate body, gradually forming an enormous pitch-black poison cocoon that enveloped her.

In truth, the deadly poison contained within this swamp had also startled Xiao Yi Xian.

If she had previously harbored some doubts about whether this place could help her break through to Dou Emperor, she was now absolutely confident.

The deadly poison here was truly inexhaustible, enough to provide Xiao Yi Xian with ample energy for a complete transformation!

Here, she could absorb without restraint, converting the concentrated deadly poison into Poison Dou Qi without worrying about exhausting the energy supply.

Thus, this place truly was a treasure land for Xiao Yi Xian.

Although her speed of absorbing poison was rather terrifying, Xiao Yi Xian also knew that breaking through to Dou Emperor would still take quite some time.

The energy required to break through to Dou Emperor was simply too enormous.

At the quiet bottom of the poisonous swamp, there was no concept of time.

But the aura emanating from within that pitch-black poison cocoon was gradually rising at a slow pace.

Although this pace seemed slow, it was quietly climbing toward the vast chasm that lay between Dou Wang and Dou Emperor.

At this rate, reaching it, and even breaking through, was only a matter of time.

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days passed.

Yet Xiao Chen, outside the poisonous swamp, was not worried in the slightest.

Before entering the poisonous swamp, Xiao Yi Xian had only been a Five-Star Dou Wang.

She first had to raise her cultivation to Nine-Star Dou Wang before she could attempt a breakthrough.

And advancing from Dou Wang to Dou Emperor was naturally no ordinary matter.

Advancing to this rank required an exceptionally enormous amount of energy.

Naturally, it also required a relatively long time.

After all, Xiao Yan and Zi Yan had each taken half a year to break through to Dou Emperor.

Thus, Xiao Chen had long since prepared himself mentally.

And just as Xiao Chen had expected, Xiao Yi Xian's breakthrough really did take quite a long time.

Ten days, twenty days, a month, forty days...

When the hands of time reached the forty-fifth day, there was finally a trace of movement within the silent, desolate poisonous swamp!

Outside the poisonous swamp, the world was dim.

A young figure stood with his hands behind his back.

"It's already been forty-five days..." Little Gold frowned deeply as he looked at the swamp before him.

By now, the poisonous swamp had changed from its original inky black to the color of an ordinary swamp.

It looked no different from any normal swamp.

The toxins within it had also thinned to almost nothing.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen gave a wry laugh beside him, then shook his head helplessly. "I didn't expect to spend so much time on Poison Cloud Mountain either..."

Over these forty-odd days, Xiao Chen had scoured Poison Cloud Mountain, leaving every unusual race with a profound impression of his face.

Xiao Chen had also discovered that Poison Cloud Mountain was enclosed within a formation.

Xiao Chen was hesitating over whether to destroy the formation and let Poison Cloud Mountain see the light of day again.

But if Poison Cloud Mountain suddenly took on a completely new appearance, it would inevitably attract the attention of many factions.

What would become of the unusual races here then?

"If there's still no movement today, I'll go in and check on her," Little Gold said, somewhat worried.

At this, Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at him.

Who would have thought the mighty Golden Emperor Dragon would care so much about my disciple?

Boom!

Just then, a rumble of energy suddenly erupted out of nowhere in the world around the poisonous swamp.

Then the energy in this region actually began fluctuating violently.

As that rumble rang out, the surrounding worldly energy seemed to come under some kind of pull and began frantically converging within the poisonous swamp.

"I told you not to fret. Look, she did it."

Little Gold rolled his eyes.

Only you know whether you were anxious yourself, brat.

"But this girl really is causing quite a commotion. Luckily, Poison Cloud Mountain is protected by a formation, so nearby experts won't notice," Xiao Chen said, stretching.

Bang!

Another half hour passed before a familiar, graceful figure finally flew out of the swamp, her Dou Qi Wings beating gently to keep her hovering high in the sky.

At the same time, the vast aura emanating from her body spread wildly like a storm, startling every unusual race on Poison Cloud Mountain!

"A Three-Star Dou Emperor..."

97

Feeling the strength of that aura, Xiao Chen's gratified, softly smiling voice slowly rang out.
