People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 182 Focusing on the Northern Lands, Let's Set Off!
Open the scroll, and the answer will quickly appear on the surface.

“Practicing this technique can enhance the power of your battle qi, accelerate its circulation, and increase the speed at which you can absorb energy from heaven and earth… You can condense three Ice Soul Talismans within your body using all your battle qi for later use. Brother Chen Xiao’s technique is quite unique, and its advantages are very obvious.”

After reading the introduction to the cultivation technique, Xun'er praised it softly.

There are countless martial arts techniques in the world, many of which have their own unique characteristics. Some are known for their domineering nature, while others are mainly gentle.

Chen Xiao's martial arts technique focuses on endurance.

Three Ice Soul Talismans are equivalent to having three extra mana bars. With such abundant battle qi in reserve, when using battle qi again, you can basically ignore the consumption and treat your ultimate move like a normal attack.

In actual combat, this advantage is undoubtedly very obvious.

The effect is even more pronounced when facing an evenly matched opponent.

Seeing that the overall tone remained unchanged but the cultivation scroll was more complete, Chen Xiao was quite satisfied.

Since that moment of enlightenment, he has been able to draw the Ice Soul Talisman outside his body and explode it as a means of fighting enemies.

Back in the Douhuang era, the power of the Ice Soul Talisman was only equivalent to the self-destruction of a Douhuang expert. Its power was limited and it was only suitable for eliminating small fry, not for threatening real enemies.

But now it's completely different!

He had already advanced to the Dou Zong level, and the Ice Soul Talisman, which condensed all his Dou Qi, exploded, equivalent to a Dou Zong powerhouse self-destructing.

Even more deadly is that he can detonate three times at the same time!
Imagine three one-star Dou Zongs simultaneously self-destructing; the destructive power would force even four- or five-star Dou Zong experts to retreat!
"The Dou Zong level is already like this. If I were to reach Dou Zun, or even Dou Sheng, and further improve this technique to allow it to store even more Ice Soul Talismans..."

The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more he looked forward to that scene. It was no different from a walking human nuclear weapon!

"This cultivation method is indeed excellent. Unless I encounter something more unique and perfectly suited to me, I probably won't switch to it in the future."

Xun'er nodded slightly: "A high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique is sufficient before reaching the Dou Sheng level. As for higher-level Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, there are not many forces in Zhongzhou that possess them. Xun'er will help Brother Chen Xiao keep an eye out for suitable ones."

The importance of cultivation techniques goes without saying, but it's not always better to have a higher grade; suitability is also important.

For example, the "Earth Demon Heart Devouring Technique" cultivated by the Earth Demon Old Ghost is a mid-level Earth-rank technique, but Hai Bodong would rather choose a low-level Earth-rank technique than cultivate it.

This is the most direct example.

"There's no need to put in any special effort for this. I might just get a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique when I go to the ruins this time."

"I hope Brother Chen Xiao's wish will come true."

Xun'er never says discouraging things, even though she knows in her heart that the probability of this is very small.

After all, Heaven-rank cultivation techniques are far more precious than Heaven-rank combat skills; even some Dou Sheng powerhouses don't possess them.

As night fell amidst the casual conversation, the hazy Luoshen Gorge became even brighter.

Chen Xiao and Xun'er returned side by side, while Xiao Yixian and Qinglin also emerged from the stone fortress.

"Now that this matter is settled, let's set off immediately and take a look at the beautiful scenery of Zhongzhou." Seeing the three women turn their gazes to him, Chen Xiao immediately made his decision.

The area around Luoshen Ravine is shrouded in poisonous mist, obscuring the sun and moon. Unless one has a specific reason for coming here, few people are willing to stay here permanently.

In addition, since Xun'er and Qinglin had finally come out, Chen Xiao wanted to take them to see more of the world instead of keeping them in the mountains all day, testing his willpower.

Upon hearing this, all three women nodded, offering no objection.

With two more powerful figures by their side, the group became even more unrestrained when they left the Fallen God Ravine, completely ignoring the countless poisonous insects.

Emerging from Luoshen Gorge, the morning sun was just rising.

Without hesitation, the four of them headed north.

However, considering that Xun'er and Qinglin could not stay for long, the group did not travel fast, and rarely flew to travel. Instead, they walked and stopped frequently, as if taking a walk.

However, the four people, who only wanted to enjoy a peaceful and pleasant time, were targeted by a force on the third day.

A thousand miles north of Luoshenjian lies a notorious force.

The Gate of Desire and Immortality!
Just from the name of this organization, one can tell that this sect is not very respectable.

Indeed, this is true. The Desire Immortal Sect indulges in pleasure and has a particular fondness for targeting beautiful women, engaging in all sorts of swindling, deception, and even abduction.

If it weren't for the fact that their sect had a two-star Dou Zong ancestor who was in charge, giving them some strength, and that the Desire Immortal Sect only caused trouble within a radius of a thousand miles, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.

"Hehehe, kid, you're quite lucky with the ladies. Give these three beauties to me, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."

A thin, pale-faced young man, accompanied by more than ten men, blocked the four people's path, his eyes gleaming with undisguised desire.

He never dreamed that any one of the four people he stopped could have killed him instantly with a flick of his finger.

The reason for this is that the four of them have been keeping a low profile these past few days, hiding their strength and acting as if they were just enjoying themselves. They don't show any signs of being strong at all, and they seem more like naive young men from a powerful family who are just starting out.

Staring at by the young master of the Desire Immortal Sect, Xun'er and the other two girls felt nauseous.

Chen Xiao looked at them as if they were a group of dead people.

The only thing that left him speechless was that he still had some impression of the Desire Immortal Sect.

In the original timeline, when Little Fairy Doctor first arrived in Zhongzhou, she was targeted by the Desire Immortal Sect, and ultimately the entire sect was destroyed by Little Fairy Doctor.

It was because of this incident that Little Fairy Doctor's possession of the Calamity Poison Body was exposed, which in turn triggered a series of troubles, including the covetousness of Ice River Valley.

Unexpectedly, with my intervention, the Desire Immortal Sect has still found a way to bring about its own demise.

"Sir, I'm coming."

Qing Lin stepped forward voluntarily, showing no awareness of being the strongest among the four, nor did she feel that the other party was not worthy of her help just because he was only a Dou Huang.

"No need to get your hands dirty. Leave no one alive, Heavenly Demon Puppets."

Chen Xiao ignored the desires of the group opposite him, raised his hand to stop Qing Lin, and a silver light shot out from his storage ring.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the screams that had just begun to rang out were already silenced.

With the Heavenly Demon Puppet's current strength, dealing with these small fry is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

After summoning more than ten storage rings into his hand, Chen Xiao sent out his Heavenly Demon Puppet on a rampage towards the main camp of the Desire Immortal Sect in the north.

Soon, the sounds of battle clashes could be heard from afar.

Xun'er and the other two girls could foresee the fate of the Desire Immortal Sect, and their expressions remained completely calm.

The Dou Qi Continent is so vast that powerful figures fall and sects are destroyed every day. Given the nature of the Desire Immortal Sect, it is actually fortunate that it has only been destroyed today.

"The name of this sect is really well-chosen."

After quickly cleaning up his spoils, Chen Xiao took out a thick stack of illustrated books and more than ten scrolls.

Xun'er and the other two girls only glanced at it, and their pretty faces all flushed and turned blushing.

Even Chen Xiao, who had already received this kind of education, felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge after reading through it briefly.

In addition, another benefit was that the progress in my mind regarding completing the subsequent steps increased again.

"Let's go, let's go see if there are any that have slipped through the net."

With a burst of fighting spirit, Chen Xiao destroyed the stack of comic books and strode towards the Desire Immortal Sect.

The three Fairy Doctors followed closely behind.

When the four arrived at the Desire Immortal Gate, they saw that the place was littered with corpses, and only one living person could be seen.

This was an old man with white hair and beard, who had a rather otherworldly and venerable appearance.

However, at this moment he looked extremely disheveled, his long white beard was stained red with the blood he spat out, and his aura was extremely weak. He was like a rat burying its head and running away, being chased and brutally attacked by the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Four young friends, it is my sect that has offended you. Please take back the puppet and give this old man a chance to apologize!"

Sensing the arrival of the four, the old man grasped at a last straw, desperately fleeing while shouting for help. When he caught sight of the three girls, Little Fairy Doctor, out of the corner of his eye, he already guessed where this catastrophic disaster was coming from.

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Just as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the Heavenly Demon Puppet finally caught up with the old man and, without any effort, smashed his head apart with a single punch.

The world fell silent, and the blood-soaked Heavenly Demon Puppet also ceased its activity. This killing machine was now fully embodying its power.

Chen Xiao unleashed a burst of battle qi, which condensed into a piece of mysterious ice and floated above the Heavenly Demon Puppet's head.

Xun'er instantly understood, and a cluster of golden flame shot out from between her fingers, controlling the temperature to melt the Xuanbing and wash away the blood-stained Heavenly Demon Puppet.

After putting away the Heavenly Demon Puppet, Chen Xiao glanced at Xun'er again.

Since refining the Heavenly Cold Qi, he has faced many people with fire attributes, but he has never felt suppressed.

It wasn't until Xun'er revealed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame that he finally sensed a threat.

Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame, ranked fourth on the Strange Flame Ranking!
Such a powerful strange fire is not something he can ignore at present.

"Is this a strange fire?"

Little Fairy Doctor also noticed the flames that Xun'er had revealed, and her expression showed a hint of surprise.

Xun'er's current cultivation level is far inferior to hers, yet Little Fairy Doctor could sense a threat from the flames, which shows how extraordinary those flames were.

"It is the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame. It is thanks to this flame that I have some confidence in fighting enemies beyond my current level."

Xun'er nodded in reply.

Whether you advance to a smaller realm or a larger realm, it's still an advancement; there's nothing wrong with that.

"On our way to the far north, there is a ghostly poisonous fire, which is quite suitable for Xian'er."

Chen Xiao chuckled as he sorted through his spoils.

He had already planned his route, which would inevitably pass through the border between the Central Continent and the Northern Continent.

At the boundary of the Blackwater Abyss, there lies an unclaimed Netherworld Poisonous Flame.

Of the four Netherworld Poisonous Flames, this one is the closest. Since it's on the way, we naturally can't let it pass.

If Little Fairy Doctor can control it, it won't be a lifeline, but it will definitely be a bonus, allowing her strength to advance further.

Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently, completely obeying Chen Xiao's arrangements.

Her situation was more unique than Chen Xiao's. Among the many strange flames on the Strange Flame Ranking, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was the most suitable for Chen Xiao, and there were one or two others that were somewhat compatible.

But for Little Fairy Doctor, only the Netherworld Poison Fire is suitable for her.

This fire is born from the endless poisonous energy, takes a hundred years to become a spirit and a thousand years to take shape. It contains deadly poison; even a tiny bit of it will kill an ordinary person. But for Little Fairy Doctor, it is a great tonic.

She possesses a body of calamity and poison. Once she gains control of this fire, it will be like the wind fanning the flames, and the fire fanning the wind, bringing immense benefits.

The Desire Immortal Sect wasn't very large. It took the four of them half an hour to gather all the spoils and arrive at the treasure vault.

The Secret of Harmony Between Phoenix and Luan...

The Twin Blossoms of Hearts Method…

The Twin Scrolls of the Jade Terrace…

The scrolls of martial arts techniques are full of poetry, but their contents are blush-inducing.

Even many combat techniques are designed to ignite the opponent's inner desires and cause them to lose their minds. Normal combat techniques and secret arts only account for two or three tenths of the treasure trove's collection.

In front of the three Fairy Doctors, Chen Xiao couldn't inspect them one by one, so he simply waved his hand and put them all into his storage ring.

Although most of these combat techniques and secret arts are useless, they can still broaden one's horizons and greatly accelerate the progress of completing the subsequent stages.

"Luckily, Zi Yan left first, otherwise she would definitely be the one looting the treasure vault today."

In Little Fairy Doctor's eyes, Zi Yan is still a little girl.

Little did Chen Xiao know, based on his understanding, if Zi Yan were to search this place, that girl would most likely secretly hide a few scrolls to read in private…

After leaving the treasure vault of the Desire Immortal Sect, the four of them stepped into the sky.

Qinglin unleashed a palm strike, and from that moment on, the Desire Immortal Sect ceased to exist here, leaving only ruins.

Just then, Qinglin's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly turned to look at Xun'er, only to see that Xun'er also sensed something, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"Xun'er, have the ancient clans arrived?"

Noticing the change in the two women's expressions, Chen Xiao immediately made some guesses.

Given Xun'er's status and Qing Lin's strength, this is the only possibility that could make them both frown at the same time.

Xun'er nodded: "Although Qinglin and I came out this time rather suddenly, the clan elders must have received the news. So much time has passed, it is to be expected that they would send someone to come. Brother Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor, Xun'er will not be able to accompany you on the road ahead."

Xun'er lightly touched the ground with her toes and walked closer to say goodbye.

Given her status, if she didn't want to go back, those who were on their way might be helpless, but Xun'er didn't want to do that, as it would only bring endless trouble to Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor.

Moreover, Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor needed to travel north, and Xun'er didn't want to delay them any longer.

Having left the Ancient Realm, Xun'er was able to meet the two of them and enjoy a few days of peace and quiet amidst her busy schedule. She was already very satisfied.

As she approached Little Fairy Doctor, Xun'er gazed intently into Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.

"Little Fairy Doctor, from now on, Brother Chen Xiao will be in your care."

"As long as I'm alive, he'll be fine." Little Fairy Doctor looked directly at Xun'er, her gentle voice carrying an unquestionable tone.

Xun'er nodded slightly at Xiao Yixian's answer. She had a deep conversation with Xiao Yixian and believed that Xiao Yixian could do it.

When she came to Chen Xiao, Xun'er unusually took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

"Brother Chen Xiao, take care. Xun'er is waiting for you in the Ancient Realm."

Chen Xiao nodded emphatically, "That day won't be long!"

There's no need to try to persuade them to stay. Xun'er knows about the situation of the ancient clan, and Chen Xiao is also aware of it.

For the time being, he is not qualified to keep Xun'er by his side!
Xun'er nodded slightly, leaned against Chen Xiao's chest to leave his embrace, took one last deep look at Chen Xiao, and then came to Qing Lin's side.

"Brother Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor, take care."

"Young master, Sister Little Fairy Doctor, you go ahead first, don't wait for me. I will come to the far north to find you later."

Qinglin waved his hand, immediately tearing open space and stepping inside with Xun'er.

The spatial passage healed in an instant. Chen Xiao took a deep breath and cast aside the complex emotions in his heart.

"Zi Yan is gone, Xun'er and Qing Lin have also left, and now it's just the two of us left."

The Fairy Doctor smiled gently and took his large hand in hers.

Having had a completely open conversation with Xun'er, she no longer had any worries.

Both Cai Lin and Xun Er had given her many instructions, so she couldn't let them down.

"I will always be with you, no matter where we go."

Chen Xiao chuckled and nodded, turning his gaze to the distant north.

"Let's set off. I have a feeling this trip might bring about a qualitative change in me!"
