Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

The next day,

Xiao Yue woke up from the process of refining the power of the stars, and she was quite satisfied. The vast star field with coordinates at the top of the Pill Tower was indeed quite remarkable, no wonder it could give birth to the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

In fact, Xiao Yue was not unfamiliar with the power of stars in her previous life. After all, the ancient books' so-called absorption of the essence of the sun and moon was essentially about stars. It's just that this world seems to have no concept of this.

In the future, as long as Xiao Yue is willing, she can use the Heavenly Realm Soul Capture to absorb the starlight of that vast star field at any time. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before she cultivates the so-called Three Thousand Star Body.

Of course, if there were an opportunity to directly enter that star field to cultivate, the effects of cultivating stellar power would be even better…

"Sister seems very happy today..." Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously.

"I accidentally discovered a new direction for cultivation last night. I can try it in the Red Phoenix Union Technique next time," Xiao Yue said with a light smile.

Upon hearing this, the girl's pretty face flushed red, feeling both shy and expectant.

"Fairy Xiao Yue, we are ready."

At this moment, Ye Zhong, standing outside the door, cupped his hands and said in a deep voice that he was very concerned that today's assessment would be the day that would determine the fate of the Ye family.

Xiao Yue smiled at them. She naturally knew how nervous the eldest elder of the Ye family was. Today was the day the higher-ups of the Pill Tower would conduct the so-called assessment of the five great families of pill-making in the Central Plains. And today's assessment would determine the future fate of the Ye family.

“Let’s go, I also want to see the style of the five great families of Zhongzhou’s alchemy…” Xiao Yue said.

The black-clad youth beside him, carrying a Xuan ruler, was already rubbing his hands together, clearly determined to obtain the Three Thousand Burning Flames. In fact, if you really count, the Pill Tower had discovered the Three Thousand Burning Flames quite some time ago. During this period, the experts in the Pill Tower naturally tried to subdue it, but in the end, they were all in vain. Instead, they suffered considerable losses due to the resistance of the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Faced with this situation, the higher-ups of the Pill Tower could only use a sealing technique, similar to what Canaan Academy did to the Fallen Heart Flame. They could only temporarily seal the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Of course, such a seal could not last forever, since the Three Thousand Burning Flames was no pushover either. After all, it was ranked in the top ten of the Strange Flame Ranking and had existed for a far longer time than the Fallen Heart Flame.

This led to a stalemate between the two sides for a period of time. The higher-ups of the Pill Tower realized that it was almost impossible to forcibly subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames, which had evolved to its complete form. Therefore, after deliberation, the higher-ups of the Pill Tower had no choice but to reluctantly decide to issue the qualification to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames to an outsider.

Of course, this special award is subject to limitations. Every thirty years, the Dou Qi Continent holds the most prestigious and influential alchemy gathering, and the only qualified force to host it is the Pill Tower.

The Pill Gathering is an unprecedented event on the Central Continent. Countless alchemy prodigies from all over the continent will compete here, and the winner will naturally become famous throughout the world. Yao Chen once won the Pill Gathering championship, and it was at that time that he gradually became a hot figure in the Central Continent, and was even hailed as the number one alchemist on the continent.

Anyone who makes it into the top ten of the Central Plains Pill Gathering will have a chance to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames, granted by the Pill Tower. Of course, whether they succeed or not depends on their own abilities. It must be said that the Pill Tower is quite cunning, because regardless of whether the participant succeeds in subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flames or not, they will become a disciple of the Pill Tower in the future…

……

The assessment location for the five great families of alchemy in Zhongzhou is a special hall in the core area of ​​Saint Pill City. It is not far from the Pill Tower and has been the exclusive assessment site for all generations. It was specially set up for the five great families, which shows how much the higher-ups of the Pill Tower value these five great families of alchemy in Zhongzhou.

The First Elder of the Ye family once said that such assessments were not conducted in secret, but rather in a semi-public manner. Any force with even a slight reputation in Saint Pill City would gather here on the day the assessments began. In the eyes of countless people, the status of the five great families was like a bright pearl hanging high in the sky. As long as they clung to the towering tree of the Pill Tower, their reputation could soar to great heights overnight.

However, among the five great families of alchemy, the Ye family is now in a precarious situation. If they fail again in this assessment, the Ye family will lose its status as one of the five great families. Once they lose this prestigious status, those forces that have long coveted them will surely swarm in and devour the Ye family.

Therefore, those forces that aspire to enter the upper echelons of the Pill Tower pay close attention to the assessments of these five great families.

Therefore, many forces that want to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Pill Tower pay close attention to the assessments of the so-called five great families.

The majestic and solemn hall stands in the heart of Saint Pill City. It is the sacred site where the five great families of alchemy have conducted their assessments throughout the ages. This hall is only a few miles away from the Pill Tower, which symbolizes the supreme alchemy path. Its splendor and prestige are self-evident.

When Xiao Yue and her group followed Ye Zhong to the vast and magnificent examination hall, they found that a huge crowd had already surrounded the place.

People kept pouring in, and those who seemed to be of considerable importance managed to get into the main hall despite the tight security at the entrance.

Xiao Yue glanced at the Ye family elder beside her. The elder's face was full of bitterness, indicating that this place held too many memories and humiliations for him.

"Let's go..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yue slowly walked forward toward the entrance of the main hall, followed closely by the Ye family and the black-clad youth.

Xiao Yue and her group, who suddenly appeared in the crowd, quickly attracted the attention of those around them.

However, when they saw the family badges on the chests of the Ye family members, whispers began to rise and fall outside the main hall.

"Look, aren't those people from the Ye family?"

"Hehe, if they fail again this time, the Ye family will probably fall out of the top five families. Without the protection of the Pill Tower, the Ye family's future days will probably be difficult."

"Yes, the Ye family was so powerful back then. Among the five great families, only the Dan family could rival them. It's a pity that they are like this now..."

"Wait, who is that silver-haired woman walking at the front? The Ye family seems to respect her greatly..."

Xiao Yue ignored the whispers.

Under the watchful eyes of many, they arrived smoothly at the entrance of the main hall. The guards at the entrance glanced indifferently at the Ye family badges on the chests of the Ye family elder and others, a faint hint of mockery flashing in their eyes. The defeats of the past few years were indeed an indelible humiliation for the Ye family.

Despite their disdain for the Ye family, the guards dared not make things difficult for them in public and stepped aside to make way for them.

Xiao Yue paid no attention to this, and leisurely led the group into the main hall, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Upon entering the main hall, soft light poured down, illuminating everyone. Xiao Yue looked around and saw that the hall was filled with representatives from various forces in the Pill Domain. Their auras were all strong, clearly indicating that they were all powerful families or forces.

"At the very front are the seats for the four great families: Dan, Cao, Bai, and Qiu," the Ye family's eldest elder explained from behind.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue followed his gaze and indeed saw four seats at the very front of the main hall. At this moment, only people from the four great families were sitting in those four seats. Judging from the badges on their robes, the weakest among those who came here was a fifth-grade alchemist.

Xiao Yue's gaze swept over the most low-profile Dan family, and suddenly paused, because she saw a petite figure among the Dan family members.

When her gaze met that of the girl, the latter seemed to sense it and turned her head. After exchanging a glance with Xiao Yue, she quickly looked away, appearing weak and timid. "Who is she?"

Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

Her innate, powerful soul perception allowed her to sense the abnormality in the girl; the girl's physique was as strange as a black hole.

"This girl looks a bit unfamiliar, but since she's standing there, she must hold a high position in the Dan family..." Upon hearing this, the eldest elder of the Ye family glanced at the girl a few more times and said hesitantly.

Seeing that the other party also didn't know much, Xiao Yue withdrew her gaze and didn't take it to heart.

The floor inside the main hall suddenly began to tremble slowly. The seats of the five families moved back like movable floorboards, and in the blink of an eye, an extremely spacious square appeared in the center of the hall. An old man with white hair walked out from there.

"This old man is named Sheng Yao. He is a member of the Pill Tower Elder Council, a Dou Zun-level expert, and an eighth-grade three-color alchemist. He has considerable influence within the Pill Tower and can be considered a true high-ranking member," the Ye family's First Elder introduced in a low voice.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Just as Elder Ye was introducing the group in a low voice, Elder Sheng of Danta suddenly stepped down from the high platform and walked straight towards the direction where Xiao Yue and her group were.

His gaze was sharp, but the moment it fell on Xiao Yue, his pupils contracted slightly.

"May I ask if you are Fairy Xiao Yue from the Northwest Continent? I have long admired your name." Elder Sheng walked up to Xiao Yue, cupped his hands in a salute, and had a smile on his face.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly in return, and said calmly, "Elder Sheng, you are too kind."

This scene instantly silenced the previously noisy hall, and everyone's attention was focused on Elder Sheng and Xiao Yue. Even the alchemists from the five great families, who were usually high and mighty, couldn't help but show expressions of surprise and doubt.

It should be noted that Elder Sheng, as a member of the Pill Tower Elder Council, a Dou Zun-level expert, and an eighth-grade three-color alchemist, holds a pivotal position in the entire Pill Tower.

Such people usually live a secluded life and rarely personally receive any powerful figures or individuals.

However, at this moment, he took the initiative to walk towards the silver-haired woman who came with the Ye family. How could this not be surprising?
"I wonder what brings Fairy Xiao Yue here this time..." Elder Sheng asked tentatively.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly and said, "I heard that today is the day of the Pill Tower's assessment of the five great families. I happen to have some free time, so I came with the Ye family to join in the fun."

Upon hearing this, Elder Sheng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said, "I see. May Fairy Xiao come inside the tower for a chat?"

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a brief silence once again. Some people seemed to have thought of something, all of them recalling some of the rumors that had been making waves in Zhongzhou recently, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and doubt.

The Cao family, one of the five great families, showed no surprise, as if they had expected this scene.

"I wonder if it was invited by that giant from the Pill Tower?" Xiao Yue smiled slightly and asked in return.

Elder Sheng nodded and said, "As expected, the fairy is exceptionally talented and has a sharp mind. This is because President Xuan Kongzi ordered me to wait here."

"In that case, I shall gladly accept your invitation." Xiao Yue smiled gently and accepted Elder Sheng's invitation.

Afterwards, Xiao Yue gave the boy in black a few instructions, telling him to take the assessment seriously and not to be careless.

He then arranged some matters for the Ye family and Little Fairy Doctor before leaving the hall.

In fact, Xiao Yue had no interest in this boring assessment. It was just a competition among young people, and it would be too undignified for her to participate herself. She could leave everything to her younger brother. Her real purpose was to take this opportunity to make contact with the core leaders of the Pill Tower.

Ignoring the astonished looks of everyone present, Elder Sheng smiled and led Xiao Yue away from the assessment hall.

The Pill Tower is located in the heart of the inner region of Saint Pill City. This area is the holy land in the hearts of countless alchemists. Because Saint Pill City is now a melting pot of people, the inner region is heavily guarded and ready to deal with any sudden changes at any time.

Xiao Yue followed Elder Sheng around Saint Pill City for nearly half an hour before gradually entering the inner region. Upon reaching the core area, the noisy commotion immediately subsided considerably.

The core inner area of ​​Saint Pill City is generally reserved for forces related to the Pill Tower or high-level alchemists, so the quality of the inner area is incomparable to that of the outer area.

In the heart of the inner region, a towering white jade pagoda, reaching ten thousand meters in height, stands majestically, giving one a sense of awe and grandeur. The spire of the giant pagoda pierces into the clouds, its top almost invisible at a glance, appearing exceptionally mysterious amidst the swirling clouds and mist.

Guided by Elder Sheng, Xiao Yue finally stepped into the inner domain of the Pill Tower. The majestic ten-thousand-meter-tall white jade tower was right in front of her, its imposing presence inspiring awe. On the tower's body, every piece of white jade seemed to have been baptized by time, radiating a faint, warm luster, as if telling endless stories of vicissitudes and mystery.

The two walked through the corridors of the inner domain of the Pill Tower. Every now and then, powerful figures dressed in alchemist's robes brushed past them, some talking in hushed tones, others hurrying to some destination.

Elder Sheng led Xiao Yue to a secluded courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by exotic flowers and plants, which emitted a faint fragrance that was refreshing and delightful.

He stopped and bowed slightly, saying, "Fairy Xiao, the guild leader is waiting in the courtyard. Please follow me."

Xiao Yue nodded slightly and followed Elder Sheng into the courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, an old man dressed in a blue robe sat quietly by a stone table. His white hair was as white as snow, and his brows exuded an otherworldly air, as if he were isolated from the world and undisturbed by its troubles.

"President, Fairy Xiao Yue has arrived," Elder Sheng said, bowing.

Although Sheng Yao is a Dou Zun powerhouse and an eighth-grade alchemist, the gap between them is considerable. After all, Xuan Kongzi is one of the three giants of the Pill Tower. Not to mention the eighth-grade nine-color peak alchemist level, his Dou Zun peak cultivation alone is enough to make him invincible in Zhongzhou!

"Xiao Xianzi is truly a prodigy. To possess such powerful soul strength at such a young age is truly astonishing to this old man." The old man in the green robe stood up, a warm smile on his face, his voice loud and magnetic.

As a peak Dou Zun expert, his perception of soul power was naturally extremely keen. At this moment, he could clearly feel Xiao Yue's soul fluctuations, which were like a vast starry sea. The profundity and power of these fluctuations were enough to send a chill down his spine, even for an expert like himself.

"President, you flatter me. It was just a fluke," Xiao Yue said modestly with a smile.

This is her brother's favorite saying.

Xuan Kongzi waved his hand and said, "Fairy Xiao, there's no need to be modest. Your talent and strength are well-known even in Zhongzhou. We've invited you here today to discuss something." (End of Chapter)
