People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 257 Heavenly Realm!

For the next seven days, Chen Xiao stayed in the altar square, never leaving it.

The things I do every day are also incredibly regular.

During the day, he would cultivate his fighting spirit and study the Yellow Spring Finger and Yellow Spring Palm techniques on the stone tablet. At night, he would use the Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique to cleanse his soul.

Seven days later, Chen Xiao had completed the first stage of the Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique and was becoming increasingly adept at controlling the star vortex deep within his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Finally, I can expand my sea of ​​consciousness. This is the most significant benefit of this step."

Looking up at the starry sky, Chen Xiao felt a deep sense of familiarity with them.

With a soft chuckle, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

As his consciousness entered his sea of ​​consciousness, without a moment's delay, Chen Xiao immediately began to manipulate the star vortex, fiercely impacting the edge of his sea of ​​consciousness.

Bang!
The impact was silent, but Chen Xiao felt a buzzing in his head, a splitting headache, and his face turned pale, as if he had been hit hard with a soul-powered fighting technique.

It must be said that while this secret technique is remarkably effective, it also carries a hint of self-torture.

"continue!"

After pausing for a moment, Chen Xiao continued his attack without hesitation.

As the old saying goes, "No pain, no gain."

This is especially true in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation.

You only need to endure a little hardship to reap huge benefits; others would love to experience something like this but don't even have the chance.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The star vortex repeatedly struck the soul barrier at the edge of the sea of ​​consciousness; such pain was beyond what the Dragon Emperor Ancient Armor could defend against.

In just half an hour, Chen Xiao felt as if he had been tormented for three or five years. He was completely disoriented and his mind was in a daze.

After completing half an hour of cultivation, Chen Xiao lay on his back on the ground, panting heavily, feeling as if the stars in the sky were doubled.

His face was wet, and when Chen Xiao reached out to wipe it, he discovered that he had wiped away blood.

Stop pretending to be dead and quickly got up to get ready.

"You little rascal, are you sure you won't mess things up?"

Elder Qingshan appeared to the side, and couldn't help but chuckle at Chen Xiao's slightly disheveled appearance.

"It was all expected."

Chen Xiao, now looking refreshed, remained expressionless, making it difficult to discern the truth from the falsehood.

Elder Qingshan didn't delve into it further, chuckled, and turned to look into the distance, where a figure was rapidly approaching.

Almost the instant the Grand Elder turned his head, Chen Xiao also sensed it.

Only now did he realize with astonishment that his soul perception seemed to have become even stronger.

As his consciousness sank into his sea of ​​knowledge, Chen Xiao was taken aback.

To his surprise, in just half an hour, the area of ​​his sea of ​​consciousness had expanded by more than 10%!
In other words, although he failed to break through to the next realm, once he recovers his strength, his soul power will be more than 10% greater than before!

hiss~
Feeling the enormous improvement, even though Chen Xiao was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp.

This "Heavenly Wind Soul Codex" is even more useful than I imagined!
"Elder, Brother Chen Xiao, did I disturb you?" Yao Ming's voice pulled Chen Xiao back to reality.

Chen Xiao looked up and saw that Yao Ming was in good condition, his appearance was well-groomed, and even the scars on his body had completely disappeared. He finally had the demeanor of a clan leader.

"It's alright. Chief Yaoming came here late at night. Is there something you need?" Chen Xiao asked, shaking his head.

In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping soundly with his beautiful wife and concubines, he's out here in the cold wind; Yao Ming clearly has something on his mind.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ming nodded slightly.

“These past few days, I’ve had my clansmen keep an eye on the situation in Zhongzhou. I just received some news that might be related to Brother Chen Xiao, so I came here specifically to inform him.”

"Oh? Tell me."

Chen Xiao was somewhat puzzled. He was in the Beast Domain, so how could the affairs of the Central Plains be related to him?

"It's like this. A few days ago, Venerable Feng from the Starfall Pavilion took Xiao Yan, the personal disciple of Venerable Yao, to the Purple Cloud Pavilion. We don't know the specific reason, but when they left the Purple Cloud Pavilion, they were attacked by the Eight Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace and suffered some injuries. If it weren't for the timely assistance of the Pill Tower experts, they would probably have perished long ago. I thought that since they are acquainted with Brother Chen Xiao, I would like to tell you."

Without hiding anything, Yao Ming told the whole story.

After hearing the whole story, Chen Xiao suddenly understood.

Oh, it was Yao Chen and his group. Then everything's alright.

"I do have some connections with them. It's good that they escaped. Thank you for making the trip, Chief Yaoming. Also, please keep an eye on Zixiao Pavilion during this time," Chen Xiao replied with a light laugh.

Normally speaking, given the current strength of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, it is unlikely that anything will happen to it; Chen Xiao was just mentioning it casually.

After all, if something really happens, he will definitely receive the message immediately.

Yao Ming glanced at Chen Xiao and realized that Chen Xiao and the others didn't seem to have a deep relationship. He didn't say anything more and nodded slightly in agreement.

"Brother Chen Xiao, rest assured, leave it to me. I won't disturb you and the Grand Elder's cultivation any longer."

After saying this, Yao Ming cupped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry...

"This Yao Ming probably wanted to check on your progress; the news from Zhongzhou was just a side note." The Grand Elder shook his head and smiled as he watched Yao Ming's departing figure.

"It's only human nature to endure this for so many days; it's already quite unexpected."

The Grand Elder nodded in agreement.

After the unrelated little incident, Chen Xiao put his mind back into cultivation.

By battling the soul barrier with star vortexes every day, he gradually adapted to, and even became numb to, the pain emanating from the depths of his soul.

As he continued his training day after day, when he finished cultivating late at night on the seventh day, Chen Xiao discovered that the area of ​​his sea of ​​consciousness had doubled exactly, which was exactly the same as the description of the Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique!
Slowly opening his eyes, Chen Xiao felt that he was in excellent condition. Without hesitation, he immediately began the final step of his breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm Soul.

Condensing Star Power! After fourteen days of cultivation, Chen Xiao has become increasingly proficient in the effects of stellar power, and absorbing it is now second nature to him.

Almost the instant he opened his mind to absorb the power of the stars, a 'Soul Star' bearing the mark of starlight was condensed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The process is as simple as eating and drinking, with no difficulty whatsoever.

Ten minutes later, the second soul star appeared, still simple and unremarkable.

Another quarter of an hour later, the third Soul Star was formed.

The difficulty level is moderate.

Then, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth…

As more and more soul stars were condensed, Chen Xiao finally felt the difficulty, just like when he received the array inheritance and condensed the talisman seal in the False Heaven. The difficulty began to rise sharply.

It was under these circumstances that Chen Xiao failed to condense the final ninth soul star by the time the sun rose and the moon set.

"No, something seems wrong. It's not my method, but something seems to be weighing on my mind, constantly distracting me?"

Chen Xiao felt like he had forgotten something, but when he thought about it carefully, everything was clearly arranged properly for Zi Yan, Xun'er, Cai Lin, Cao Ying, Xiao Yi Xian, and even Qing Lin, and there should be no hidden dangers in Zi Xiao Pavilion.

The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more convinced he became; he couldn't understand it at all.

After cultivating for a day, Chen Xiao continued to refine the last Soul Star at night.

However, the result was still unsuccessful.

"Could it be about that seven-colored spirit crane?" Seeing Chen Xiao deep in thought, the Grand Elder spoke up to remind him.

Chen Xiao was taken aback, then remembered that he had been accompanied by a seven-colored spirit crane when he came to the Beast Domain.

However, since they were going to enter the Nether Serpent Vein, they did not bring the seven-colored spirit crane with them. They left it outside to wait and would release it when they came out.

Unexpectedly, I forgot about it as soon as I turned around.

Chen Xiao slapped his forehead. No wonder he felt like he had forgotten something small. Oh, that's why!

"Elder, I'll be right back."

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao moved swiftly and headed towards the mountain where the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane had waited that day.

Upon arriving here, they discovered that there was no mountain left; it had long since been reduced to dust in the great battle between Yao Ming and Yao Xiaotian.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and his soul perception spread out like a tide.

After a while, they finally sensed the presence of the seven-colored crane from several thousand feet away.

With a flicker, Chen Xiao vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane.

"Sect Master! You're back! That day, when the Nine Netherworld Python Clan broke out in battle, I was worried about being caught in the crossfire, so I stayed away to wait..."

The seven-colored crane was startled when it saw someone suddenly appear in front of it. After seeing the person's face, it was relieved and quickly began to explain.

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "It's alright. It's good to stay away. You can go back to your clan now. I've finished dealing with my business and I'll be going back too."

The seven-colored crane bowed its head in response. If it weren't for the sake of its clan, it would have truly wanted to join the Purple Cloud Pavilion, but alas, it had never been there...

'Perhaps, after returning, I can find an opportunity to lead the entire clan to break free from the control of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. After all, there aren't many of us!'

Suddenly an idea came to mind. The more the Seven-Colored Spirit Crane thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. It quickly thanked the owner and flew towards the depths of the Beast Domain.

Watching this scene, Chen Xiao nodded slightly.

Although the Dou Qi Continent is free of taboos and there is no such thing as unfettered thoughts, fulfilling one's promises is still a comforting thing.

Returning to the altar square via the same route, Chen Xiao closed his eyes and cultivated, bringing his essence, energy, and spirit to their peak.

Midnight, the time when the power of the stars is at its most intense.

As Chen Xiao sat cross-legged, his hands silently flipped through hand seals, absorbing the omnipresent power of the stars with overwhelming force.

After an unknown amount of time, a bright soul star was finally fully illuminated in Chen Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, as if it could illuminate countless mountains and rivers, and also illuminate Chen Xiao's path ahead.

At the very moment the last Soul Star lit up, Chen Xiao sensed that an invisible barrier suddenly exploded!

Qingming Festival!

At this moment, Chen Xiao's senses were clearer than ever before!
It was as if his perspective was rising higher and higher, his vision becoming wider and wider, until he could take in most of the beast realm before reaching its end.

From Elder Qingshan's perspective, however, a figure with the exact same appearance and build as Chen Xiao emerged from the seated body and climbed into the void step by step!
Looking at that 'figure' that wasn't particularly burly, even with Elder Qingshan's strength, he felt a tremor originating from the depths of his soul.

"He did it, he really did it..."

As Elder Qingshan murmured, Yao Ming's figure sped over from the distant horizon, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise and shock.

"Breakthrough?"

No one answered him; the scene before him was the best answer.

In Chen Xiao's consciousness, the scene of the Ten Thousand Mountains suddenly changed, and a series of abrupt pieces of information quietly appeared in his mind.
