People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 283 Dawn
Being approached silently speaks volumes.

The Sixth Heavenly Venerable's pupils shrank sharply, while the Fifth Heavenly Venerable reacted even faster, flipping his hand under his sleeve and pulling out a jade slip in the blink of an eye.

However, just as he clenched his fist, intending to crush it, an icy blue chain wrapped around his wrist without him even noticing. Wisps of cold air surged into his meridians, penetrating every crevice, causing his blood and fighting spirit to freeze almost instantly!
“It’s impolite to talk about others behind their backs. Since you’re here, you might as well keep the Eight Heavenly Venerables company.”

With one hand behind his back, Chen Xiao gently waved his other hand, and the spatial jade slip floated over.

"Tsk tsk, a space jade slip from a Dou Sheng expert, that's a life-saving treasure." Zi Yan leaned closer, glanced at it, and teased.

The so-called spatial jade slip, as the name suggests, can be crushed to forcibly tear open a spatial passage, allowing one to escape immediately. If prepared properly, it can also allow reinforcements to arrive instantly.

Such spatial jade slips are quite rare; they cannot be formed without the strength of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint).

"Chen Xiao, if we perish here today, the Purple Cloud Pavilion and the Soul Palace will truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle!"

With his life-saving jade slip stolen, the Five Heavenly Venerables' hearts sank to the bottom, and they could only resort to verbal threats.

After all, there was no other way.

“I promised those souls you harmed that I would avenge them, so there’s no need for further words.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao reached out and grabbed at the two of them.

Zi Yan watched with a smile, while Qing Lin took a step forward, his fighting spirit surging, and indiscriminately killed the remaining Soul Hall experts.

Seeing Chen Xiao's battle qi hand grabbing towards them, the faces of the Fifth and Sixth Heavenly Venerables turned deathly pale.

The difference between each of the nine levels of Dou Zun is no less than the difference between a one-star Dou Zun and a nine-star Dou Zun!
Although there are geniuses who can transcend such realms and fight enemies of higher levels, it is clear that the Fifth and Sixth Heavenly Venerables are not included in this category.

"Sixth Brother, let's perish together with him!"

Knowing the gap between them was as vast as an insurmountable chasm, the Five Heavenly Venerables roared fiercely, their black robes billowing instantly, their bodies rapidly expanding, as if they were preparing to self-destruct without hesitation.

Such decisiveness makes him quite ruthless!

Compared to that, the Six Heavenly Venerables are far more laughable.

As soon as the Five Heavenly Venerables spoke, he had already shielded them in front of him, intending to tear through space. However, he found that the space, which he could easily break in the past, was as solid as a rock. He could only turn around and flee. With a flash, he flew thousands of feet away. With a 'bang', he seemed to have crashed into an invisible barrier, and was greatly shocked.

Noticing the actions of the Sixth Heavenly Venerable, the Fifth Heavenly Venerable chuckled and shook his head.

The spatial jade slip was their only chance of survival. From the moment it was taken away, their fate was sealed. Why lose their composure and become a laughingstock?

"Hehehe, Chen Xiao, don't be so smug. You'll never know how powerful my Soul Palace is. The Purple Cloud Pavilion will surely be wiped out!"

"boom!"

At the last moment before the giant hand of fighting spirit struck, the Five Heavenly Venerables exploded with a deafening roar that echoed endlessly.

Chen Xiao could have stopped him, but instead let him self-destruct.

Sensing the destructive aftershocks sweeping in, the battle qi hand trembled slightly, dissipating them all. Suddenly, it reached forward and captured the Six Heavenly Venerables who were fleeing in panic.

"Hehe, all done!"

Seeing that Qinglin had also killed all the Soul Palace experts, Ziyan clapped her hands and removed the spatial seal that covered an area of ​​ten thousand feet.

"Chen Xiao, if you have the guts, then kill me! Don't even think about getting any secrets of the Soul Palace out of me!"

The Six Heavenly Venerables, having been sealed away, had come to terms with reality and stubbornly continued to shout.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, and a cluster of flame shot out from his fingertip, passing straight through the heart of the Sixth Heavenly Venerable.

The room immediately quieted down.

Chen Xiao once again swung a light palm strike, hitting the body of the Sixth Heavenly Venerable. Instantly, the soul and corpse were separated!

Without giving the Sixth Heavenly Venerable a chance to cry out again, Chen Xiao directly suppressed him and sealed him away in a jade bottle.

“Those eight Heavenly Venerables used to be even more stubborn than you.”

With a light laugh, Chen Xiao didn't rush to create these six Heavenly Venerables.

He kept him there so that he could extract some valuable information from the Six Heavenly Venerables.

After all, this time we've been in the ruins for more than half a year, and the situation in Zhongzhou, as well as the struggle between the Pill Tower and the Soul Palace, must have changed somewhat.

After putting away all the spoils of war, Chen Xiao looked at Qifeng Mountain in front of him.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the blazing white light barrier slowly dissipated, revealing rows of majestic buildings.

The wide plaza below the tower was already packed with people, standing in neat rows.

Standing at the very front were none other than Little Fairy Doctor and Cao Ying.

Beside the two were Yao Yao, as well as Xing Yao and Qing Huan.

Behind the five were the elders, including Venerable Heavenly Fire and Venerable Iron Sword.

"Welcome back, Pavilion Master!"

"Welcome back, Pavilion Master!"

The shouts were deafening, reaching straight to the heavens!
Looking at the young man high in the sky, many disciples and elders could not hide their excitement.

I still remember that when the Purple Cloud Pavilion was first established, it was just an 'ordinary' force in the Black Corner Region, residing within Maple City.

In just two or three years, he became the undisputed leader of the Black Corner Region!
Immediately, Chen Xiao turned his gaze to Zhongzhou.

When he left, he said that the Black Corner Region was too small and the Purple Cloud Pavilion should not be confined to it. The Central Plains was the real stage!
Now, Zixiao Pavilion has a formidable reputation in Zhongzhou. Even when the Soul Palace, the strongest force on the surface, came knocking on its door, it remained as solid as a rock!
Watching Chen Xiao casually kill the five and six Heavenly Venerables of the Soul Palace, everyone suddenly realized that, without realizing it, the Purple Cloud Pavilion had become a behemoth!
As members of the Zixiao Pavilion, they share in this glory!
"Everyone, I'm back." Chen Xiao raised his hand in a gesture of support, his gaze sweeping over the familiar faces.

"From this day forward, Zixiao Pavilion is fully prepared for battle!"

"Yes!"

After lingering in the square for a while to make his presence felt, Chen Xiao led the group into the main hall.

"Father, when will Mother come back?"

After talking with the three little ones for a while, Yao Yao suddenly asked a question.

No matter how well-behaved and sensible she is, she is still a child. After being apart for so long, it's inevitable that she will miss him.

"Yaoyao, your mother is currently in seclusion to improve her strength, which is a good thing. However, we can go see her. I'll take you to see her in a few days, okay?"

"Ok!"

Seeing Yao Yao's expectant eyes, Chen Xiao smiled.

Because Cai Lin's strength when she entered the Nine Netherworld was very different from that in the original timeline, he couldn't be sure how long it would take for Cai Lin to emerge from seclusion.

Therefore, he couldn't give Yao Yao a definite answer. However, as he said, taking Yao Yao to visit Cai Lin was a feasible option.

As for safety, with Ziyan around, there's no need to worry.

If something still happened even with Zi Yan accompanying them, then there are hardly any safe places left on the Dou Qi Continent.

After comforting Yao Yao and watching the three little ones leave, Chen Xiao looked around the hall, his gaze finally settling on Little Fairy Doctor.

"Xian'er, has anything particularly important happened during this time?"

As his bedmate, Little Fairy Doctor naturally understood Chen Xiao very well. Hearing him say this, she knew what Chen Xiao was anxious about.

Immediately, Little Fairy Doctor shook her head slightly, "In the past six months, Zhongzhou has been relatively stable and the situation has not changed much. You and Qinglin have just returned today, so why don't you rest for a while and go see the child? If you have any questions, you can ask Sister Cao Ying. We will discuss this matter again tomorrow."

“Brother Chen Xiao, we all know you’re anxious. Just go ahead. We’re all family. We can catch up tomorrow.” Hei Qing, who was sitting in the guest seat, chimed in.

All the elders nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao stopped pretending, laughed heartily, stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Then let's do as Brother Hei Qing said. Everyone, let's discuss it again tomorrow!"

...

backyard.

Inside Cao Ying's room.

After much anticipation, Chen Xiao finally saw the baby sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes.

Like Yao Yao, she is a girl.

However, unlike Yao Yao, who was born with the power of a Dou Zong, everything about her was relatively normal.

"Keep your noise down, don't wake her up."

As Chen Xiao leaned closer to examine him, Cao Ying's voice rang out from behind him.

Chen Xiao didn't even turn his head. "I clearly didn't say anything, and there's a soundproof barrier too. Have you named her yet?"

Cao Ying sat down next to Chen Xiao, looking at the sleeping child on the bed, her eyes filled with undisguised doting affection.

"On the day she was born, the sun rose right after she was born. The morning sun shone through the window, and her little face seemed to be glowing. So I gave her the nickname Chen Xi."

Dawn, Chen Xi…

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "That's fine, let's call it that."

Chen Xiao has never been good at naming things. He honestly believes that even if he had been there when Xi Xi was born, he might not have been able to come up with this name.

Therefore, Chen Xiao simply decided not to make any changes.

"Unfortunately, the Bodhi Foundation Establishment Pill requires Bodhi seeds as a material. However, I did obtain a formula for the Nascent Soul Foundation Building Pill in the ruins. It is also a top-grade eighth-rank pill, no worse than the Bodhi Foundation Establishment Pill. It can be given to Xixi. I will go to the Pill Tower in a few days and ask my teacher to refine one."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao took out a stack of pill formulas and handed them to Cao Ying.

These elixirs can only reach their full value in her hands.

Hearing something interesting, Cao Ying finally managed to pull her gaze away from the child, took the pill formula, and quickly scanned it. The more she looked at it, the more radiant she became, making one wonder if she would go into seclusion to study the formula at any moment.

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

After carefully reviewing the formula for the Nascent Soul Foundation Building Pill, Cao Ying nodded slightly and smiled, "It is indeed comparable to the Bodhi Foundation Building Pill, but there's no need to make another trip."

"Why?" Chen Xiao turned his head in confusion.

"Because when Xixi was a month old, the teacher had already sent her a Bodhi Foundation Building Pill. Although Bodhi seeds are precious and hard to find, there are still some left on the continent. Ever since the teacher learned that I was pregnant, he had been keeping an eye out for them. After more than half a year, he finally found a Bodhi seed."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao's heart stirred slightly.

Even Danta was unaware that he was searching for Bodhi seeds, and Xuan Kongzi had never mentioned it either.

This gift is quite substantial.

"With the Bodhi Foundation Building Pill, there's no need for the Nascent Essence Foundation Building Pill. The two have almost the same effect and won't have any additive effect. However, I still need to go to the Pill Tower to thank my teacher in person."

This time, Cao Ying did not object.

She was quite pleased that Chen Xiao valued it so much.

"By the way, Ying'er, I noticed before that you had advanced to the Dou Zong realm, and the strange flame you placed in the backyard has also disappeared..."

"Just as you thought, with Xixi's safe birth, I can now devote more time to refining medicine and the strange fire. With my experience and strength, dealing with that strange fire was easy and didn't take much effort. Thanks to the power of the strange fire, I'm now a three-star Dou Zong. Once I further improve my strength and medicine refining skills, I won't need to trouble my teacher anymore when refining Bodhi Foundation Building Pills or Nascent Soul Foundation Building Pills. After all, we may need quite a few of these pills in the future."

Cultivators don't need to recuperate for a long time like ordinary people, and even during pregnancy, they are not actually that vulnerable.

However, just to be on the safe side, Cao Ying had kept the strange fire from being refined and devoured.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao looked somewhat embarrassed.

But it cannot be denied that what Cao Ying said is true.

If Yao Yao is like this, and Xi Xi is like this, then when Little Fairy Doctor or Qing Lin have children in the future, he will definitely treat them the same way and prepare more Foundation Establishment Pills for them. That's absolutely right.

"I remember the Alchemy Gathering hasn't been around for many years. Given the current situation in Zhongzhou, can the Alchemy Gathering still be held smoothly?"

"It's quite a coincidence. Starting from today, there are exactly three years left until the Pill Gathering. When my teacher came to deliver pills last time, I asked him about it. He said it would be held as scheduled. Those ancient races, on the surface, support the Pill Tower in clearing out the Soul Hall, but in reality, they all have their own plans. Otherwise, they would have wiped out the Soul Hall long ago. Unlike now, I don't know how long it will take to end."

"In the eyes of those ancient races, even someone as powerful as Danta is still not on the same level as them."

"Yes, so the teacher said that this year's Dan competition will not only be held, but will be held on a grand scale. Both the scale and the rewards for the top ten will be unprecedented, all for the sake of winning back some pride!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, understanding Xuan Kongzi's thoughts.

Even as an observer, Chen Xiao's positive perception of those ancient races shattered after witnessing their actions, let alone the Dan Tower, which was directly involved.

Putting yourself in Xuan Kongzi's shoes, it's frustrating, disheartening, and disgusting to think that a conflict that could have ended quickly was dragged on and on by the interference of so-called allies, who even frequently colluded with the enemy.

Given this situation, it would have been better to do nothing at all and maintain the original layout of one hall, one pagoda, two temples, three valleys, and four pavilions.

"Since the teacher has made up his mind, then we will fully support Danta this time!"

"Furthermore, now that we've entered the arena, we can't follow the ideas of those ancient races. There are still three years until the Pill Gathering, enough time to give the Central Continent some peace and quiet!"

The reason why the current situation in Zhongzhou is so complicated is simply because the strength of the Pill Tower alone is insufficient to completely eradicate the Soul Palace, which has given those ancient races the opportunity to profit from it.

But now, with the addition of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, everything is different.

With Zi Yan emerging from seclusion, Chen Xiao and Qing Lin's strength increased dramatically, making the Zixiao Pavilion more powerful than ever before.

With the addition of the Pill Tower, even without relying on ancient races, the Soul Palace can be wiped out of Zhongzhou!
