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

The assessment of the five major families of alchemy quickly came to an end, and Xiao Yan undoubtedly won first place. He is now a peak seventh-grade alchemist. In the years that Yao Chen, a half-saint, has taught him everything he knows, he has already touched the threshold of the Spirit Realm. Winning an assessment championship is a piece of cake. After all, he is the disciple of the number one alchemist on the continent, and his prestige is evident.

"Sis, what do the people from Danta want with you?"

The boy in black walked out of the assessment hall and looked at Xiao Yue with some curiosity.

"It's just some discussions about cooperation," Xiao Yue said with a smile.

She didn't hide anything. The reason Xuan Kongzi found her was simply about the Pill Gathering selection in a month. This Pill Gathering had attracted many forces from the Central Continent because it had opened up ten star domain quotas. Among them was Xiao Yue's old friend, the Soul Palace.

The Pill Tower also had its own plans. Due to the long-term sealing of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, this strange flame harbored considerable resentment towards the Pill Tower. If it were released, it would inevitably launch a retaliatory attack on the Pill Domain, resulting in enormous losses.

The Three Thousand Burning Flames had been imbued with intelligence for thousands of years, and could even speak human language. Its wisdom was no different from that of ordinary people. In addition, its wild nature was untamable. The Pill Tower tried every means to subdue it, but it could not be subdued. As time went by, the Pill Tower's seal gradually weakened.

The reason why the Pill Tower sealed this strange flame is similar to that of the Fallen Heart Flame of Canaan Academy. After all, the legendary power of stars is very beneficial even to Dou Zun experts. If it weren't for having no other choice, the Pill Tower would not have given up so easily.

The Soul Palace has been eyeing the Three Thousand Burning Flames for quite some time now. Of course, compared to the strange flame, the Soul Palace values ​​the Star Domain Gate controlled by the Pill Tower more. If it fails to acquire it, the Soul Palace will most likely destroy the seal and release the Three Thousand Burning Flames. In that case, the Pill Tower will suffer heavy losses, which will make it easier for the Soul Palace to collect soul bodies.

This is also the place that Danta is most worried about. The Three Thousand Burning Flames are extremely powerful. Although it is not ranked in the top five on the Strange Flame Ranking, it grows in the star field and has the advantage of the innate terrain. Even a peak Dou Zun expert cannot defeat it in the slightest in the star field!
Because of the strangeness of the star field, the Three Thousand Burning Flames are practically immortal inside. So even though all the Dou Zun experts in the Pill Tower came out, which were basically the Dou Sheng Supreme Elders inside the Pill Tower, they could only temporarily seal it away at the time.

Whoever obtains and subdues the Three Thousand Burning Flames will essentially fall into the hands of another. This strange flame possesses incredibly powerful regenerative abilities, and if it falls into the hands of the Soul Palace, it will undoubtedly cause immense trouble.

And that's exactly why Danta found Xiao Yue!
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. In the Northwest Continent, Xiao Yue wiped out the Soul Hall, destroying all of the Soul Hall's plans that had been laid out in the Northwest Continent for many years. The relationship between Xiao Yue and the Soul Hall is now irreversible and mortal enemies. The Pill Tower has also taken advantage of this.

In addition, Yao Chen had a considerable relationship with several Pill Tower giants, including Xuan Kongzi, who were at the peak of the eighth-grade spiritual realm. With this relationship in place, although the Pill Tower could not completely trust Xiao Yue, reaching a cooperation agreement was not a problem.

"Big sister, since the Pill Tower is so worried about the Soul Palace, why not just ban the Soul Palace from participating?" The black-clad youth scratched his head, still somewhat puzzled.

"The Soul Hall is hard to track down. No one can say for sure how many of the alchemists who came to Zhongzhou to participate in the Pill Gathering are actually from the Soul Hall. Moreover, even if the Pill Tower finds out, it cannot prohibit them for any reason. This is the rule of the Pill Tower. As long as an alchemist is qualified to participate, even if they are an enemy of the Pill Tower, they cannot be disqualified."

Xiao Yue said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the boy muttered to himself, inwardly complaining that this rule was completely inexplicable.

Xiao Yue was well aware of Danta's little schemes, but she didn't care too much. After all, everyone had the same goal, so it wasn't a question of who was plotting against whom.

Compared to the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the crisis of the Starfield uprising, the Soul Palace is the Pill Tower's number one enemy.

To put it bluntly, this is a scheme orchestrated by Xiao Yue and the Pill Tower. They're not afraid of the Soul Palace coming; they're afraid they won't come!
The White Tiger Visualization Diagram was already itching for food; after all, how long had it been since it had eaten? This couldn't go on; Xiao Yue's path to the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm depended on the Soul Palace.

As for how big a fish this bait could catch, Xiao Yue had no idea. At the very least, the Soul Palace would have to send out several more Heavenly Venerables, right? Otherwise…

"There is still one month until the Pill Gathering selection begins. During this time, try to stay in the Pill Tower to cultivate. I have already spoken with the people in the Pill Tower, and they are willing to let you go to the Heavenly-level cultivation tower of the Pill Tower to hone your soul power. You should cultivate well in there and strive to break through to the eighth-grade spirit realm as soon as possible."

"The Soul Hall might resort to underhanded tactics to secure the Pill Gathering championship, so you must be extra careful during the selection process," Xiao Yue cautioned.

Upon hearing this, the boy nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Although he won first place in the assessment, he was not complacent at all. After all, the Cao family's enchantress and the Dan family's young lady with a strange soul both put a lot of pressure on him.

The news that the Ye family of Xiaoyanzi achieved first place in this assessment was undoubtedly a bombshell for some people or forces who wanted to see the Ye family make a fool of themselves. Many people were speculating whether the Ye family was still qualified to retain their place among the five major families, but this sudden news was like a slap in the face, leaving people feeling incredulous.

As the news spread and became clearer, some people figured out the cause of the matter, and various forces were also inquiring about Xiao Yue's identity.

While the outside world was buzzing about these events, Xiao Yue disappeared without a trace.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the secret chamber of the Dan Tower, the deep purple poisonous fire, refined by the girl's special physique, gradually emitted an unusual, eerie purple flame.

The air in the sealed room seemed to be distorted by this power, while the beautiful, dark purple poisonous butterfly danced quietly in the girl's palm under her control.

Sitting in the center of the secret room, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, gazing at the beautiful poisonous butterfly shimmering with a dark purple light in her palm.

Ever since she obtained the Netherworld Poison Fire in front of the Chuyun Empire, she has been refining it according to Xiao Yue's guidance. As Xiao Yue said, the Netherworld Poison Fire has excellent compatibility with her Calamity Poison Body, and it underwent a second evolution within her body in a short period of time.

This not only made the poisonous fire more powerful, but also greatly improved her cultivation level.

The girl gently raised her fingertips, and the originally ferocious poisonous butterfly became incredibly docile under her control, curling up in her palm like a well-behaved kitten. Then, the poisonous butterfly slowly burrowed into her body and disappeared beneath her skin, forming an extremely alluring and sinister tattoo on her snow-white, jade-like shoulder, with a subtle and strange beauty.

Little Fairy Doctor stood up, feeling the surging battle qi within her body. Under Xiao Yue's close guidance recently, and through daily practice with her sister of the so-called Red Phoenix Union Technique, her Dou Zun realm had become completely stable. If the Poison Fire could undergo true evolution, then the connection between her and the Poison Body would become even closer, and breaking through to the second star of Dou Zun would be just around the corner.

The girl took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the heavy stone door.

She had just taken a step when she heard the sound of another secret room door being slowly pushed open not far away. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a silver-haired beauty dressed in white, with a slightly aloof demeanor, slowly walking out of the secret room.

Her gaze brightened slightly when it fell upon Little Fairy Doctor, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Fairy has also emerged from seclusion?"

Xiao Yue asked in a soft voice, which entered Little Fairy Doctor's ears like heavenly music.

"Ah."

The girl stepped forward affectionately and took Xiao Yue's hand, her joy and happiness evident in her eyes, and nodded gently in response.

"You seem so happy, is there something good you want to share with me?" Xiao Yue chuckled, her eyes full of doting affection.

A blush crept onto Little Fairy Doctor's face. She lowered her head slightly, as if somewhat shy, and said:

“I feel like I’m one step closer to becoming a second-star Dou Zun, and… and…” The girl paused, seemingly finding it difficult to say.

"And what?"

Xiao Yue's lips curled up slightly. She naturally knew the reason, so she asked provocatively.

Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flushed even more. She glanced up at Xiao Yue, noticing the teasing and flirtatious look in her eyes, and whispered, "Sister, please stop teasing Fairy..."

Seeing this, Xiao Yue chuckled and stopped teasing the blushing girl in front of her, even though she liked it.

Time passed slowly as the young girl quietly cultivated under his guidance.

The start of the Pill Gathering is drawing ever closer, and with its approach, an increasingly terrifying influx of people is pouring into Saint Pill City. In this vast region, almost every place is teeming with countless figures. The inns and hotels in Saint Pill City are also at full capacity. The Pill Tower has become the focus of countless eyes in the Central Continent.

……

……

……

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away from Saint Dan City, in a dark and demonic corner, shrouded in gloom and demonic energy, it seemed to have become the darkest place in the world. Demonic energy and death energy intertwined, forming a terrifying realm.

In this space that resembled a living hell, two figures stood at opposite ends, like messengers from two different worlds.

One of the figures was gaunt and shrouded in a black cloak, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.

This was none other than the once-famous Dou Zun powerhouse in Zhongzhou—Zhaixing Laogui. The other figure opposite him was twisted and chaotic, as if it were formed from countless demonic energies, exuding a strong and chilling aura. That was Xiehuang Zunzhe from Tianming Sect.

"Old ghost Zhaixing, your Soul Palace is getting worse and worse. You only sent a five-star Dou Zun like yourself here." The voice of the Evil Desolate Venerable was low and hoarse, full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ghost of Stars flashed a hint of disdain in his eyes and chuckled sinisterly, "Hmph, it's just a star field. Why bother using the top power of my Soul Palace? Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Seeing this, Venerable Xiehuang sneered, his voice revealing a hint of mockery: "Your Soul Palace is really arrogant. Do you really think you can rely on your meager strength?"

Old Ghost Zhaixing frowned, his face darkening: "Hmph, your Heavenly Nether Sect's underhanded methods are beneath my notice. This cooperation is nothing more than a mutually beneficial arrangement."

A hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the Evil Desolate Venerable: "Hehe, our Heavenly Nether Sect's techniques are special, and we are only interested in the blood souls of those Pill Domains. However, since your Soul Palace wants that strange fire, we naturally want a share of the pie as well."

Upon hearing this, Old Ghost Zhaixing's face darkened, and his voice turned cold: "Aren't you being a bit too greedy? The Strange Fire is one of the most precious things in this operation, and you want half of it too?"

The Evil Desolate Venerable of the Heavenly Nether Sect smiled slightly, his voice revealing a hint of threat: "Old Ghost Zhaixing, don't forget that our Heavenly Nether Sect has unique methods for locating star regions. Without our help, it would be extremely difficult for your Soul Palace to find that star region. Therefore, we must split this cooperation in half."

The old ghost who picks stars took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said coldly, "Fine, since you insist, we'll each take half. However, you must guarantee that there will be no mistakes in locating the star field, otherwise your Heavenly Nether Sect will bear all the consequences."

The Evil Desolate Venerable nodded, a hint of smugness in his voice: "That's natural. Our Heavenly Nether Sect has always been prudent in its actions. However, your Soul Palace should also be careful, lest you end up doing more harm than good."

After speaking, the Evil Desolate Venerable moved, transforming into a ball of demonic energy, instantly tearing through the void and disappearing without a trace.

The old ghost who picked stars stared at the direction where the evil desolate venerable had disappeared, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He snorted coldly, turned around and ordered the several dark figures behind him, "Go and inform Mu Gu to make proper preparations. This operation is of great importance, and if anything goes wrong, he won't be able to bear the consequences."

Upon hearing this, the several dark figures bowed in agreement and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Star-Picking Old Ghost gazed at the darkness before him, a strange sense of unease rising within him.

Although cooperating with the Heavenly Nether Sect could bring many benefits to their Soul Palace, the greed and cunning of those demonic brats also annoyed him. However, since it was an order made by the Palace Master, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

"Heh heh, once my Soul Palace's Heavenly Venerables descend upon the Starfield, your Heavenly Nether Sect will have a good time!" Old Ghost Zhaixing thought with a sneer.

This operation is of great importance. The three giants of the Pill Tower are all peak Dou Zun experts. How could the Star Domain be so easy to conquer? The Soul Palace would naturally not send only a mere five-star Dou Zun. He and Elder Mu Gu are merely the vanguard at most.
