People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 335 Xun'er in Seclusion, Heavenly Fire Returns

Dragon Island.

After returning from the Void Thunder Pool, Chen Xiao immediately found Xun'er, who was feeding the Ancient Devouring Insects.

He brought Xun'er out of the ancient realm because he wanted to help her advance to the Dou Sheng realm as soon as possible, so as to prevent Xun'er from falling too far behind Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin.

After all, Chen Xiao has many secrets he can't reveal, and it's more convenient for Xun'er to be by his side.

Over the past month, Chen Xiao has done a few small things for this purpose.

For example, the Small Yin-Yang Harmony Array could be replicated within Xun'er's body to accelerate her cultivation.

For example, a series of powerful formations were set up on Dragon Island to make the energy of heaven and earth more concentrated and improve external conditions.

Even so, these factors can only shorten the time it takes for Xun'er to advance to the Dou Sheng level, but are not enough for her to achieve a breakthrough overnight.

Therefore, Chen Xiao originally planned to use the pre-existing knowledge in his mind to search for suitable opportunities for Xun'er, such as those unknown ruins.

However, after returning from the Void Thunder Pool, Chen Xiao had a new idea in his mind.

"Brother Chen Xiao, are you referring to the Tribulation Pill?"

After listening to Chen Xiao recount his experience in the Void Thunder Pool, Xun'er's beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and she instantly guessed his plan.

"Indeed, we have obtained so many Thunder Pearls this time, and we must make good use of them. It would be a waste to use these things as disposable weapons. At most, a Thunder Pearl can only threaten a six-star Dou Sheng. Rather than that, we should use them all to refine Thunder Tribulation Pills to improve our strength."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and smiled, "Perfect timing, Elder Mo is also a guest on Dragon Island right now."

The so-called Thunder Tribulation Pill is a rather peculiar pill. Therefore, the main ingredient of this pill is not an ordinary thing, but rather thunder.

The pill is made by refining pills with thunder and lightning, and then supplemented with many medicinal herbs and demonic cores. The resulting pill is the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

There is no fixed formula for the Thunder Tribulation Pill. The more powerful the thunder used, the more medicinal materials added, and the higher the grade of the demon core, the higher the grade of the Thunder Tribulation Pill will be.

Therefore, the classification of Thunder Tribulation Pills into different levels is quite absurd.

It starts with the eighth grade and one color, and goes up to the eighth grade and nine colors.

Above that are also Grade 9 Precious Pills and Grade 9 Profound Pills.

In fact, theoretically, there is even a ninth-grade Golden Core level!

Xun'er's current cultivation level is only at the peak of the Ninth Rank Dou Zun. There's no need to consider the Ninth Rank Xuan Dan. Not to mention whether Elder Mo can refine it, even if he could, Xun'er wouldn't be able to digest it and would be instantly overwhelmed.

Therefore, preparing a ninth-grade treasure pill, a Thunder Tribulation Pill, for Xun'er is sufficient.

At that time, Chen Xiao can assist Xun'er in refining it, and it should not be difficult for them to overcome the Dou Sheng barrier.

In addition, Chen Xiao is now only one step away from becoming a five-star Dou Sheng. In this process, he can also benefit and have the opportunity to take another step forward!
“Then let’s proceed according to Brother Chen Xiao’s idea, but we will have to trouble Elder Mo again this time.”

Thinking that Elder Mo had just refined two Grade 9 precious pills, and now Chen Xiao had his eye on them again, Xun'er couldn't help but smile.

"The Grand Elder should be happy to have the opportunity to process the energy extracted from the Nine Profound Golden Thunder. Moreover, just like with the Nine Nether Nirvana Pill last time, I will give him a corresponding reward and send three Thunder Pearls to the Pill Tower."

Friendship is friendship, but we can't let others work for nothing.

If the Pill Tower is given three Thunder Pearls and makes good use of them, it won't be long before the three giants break through, at which time the overall strength of the Pill Tower will be greatly enhanced.

This is also a good thing for Chen Xiao. Not only does he have three more decent combatants at his disposal, but he also won't have to keep bothering Elder Mo when he wants to refine ninth-grade treasure pills in the future.

After chatting with Xun'er for a long time, Chen Xiao got up and left, then went directly to Elder Mo, who had just settled in on Dragon Island.

As expected, Elder Mo readily agreed.

Ultimately, this is entirely beneficial to Danta, and there is no reason for them to refuse.

late at night.

Chen Xiao returned to his bedchamber and, without much hesitation, used one of his advance payment opportunities.

"Advance payment for a ninth-grade precious pill, a Thunder Tribulation Pill."

After a brief mental exchange, Chen Xiao quickly flipped his hand, and a perfectly round, golden pill appeared in his palm. Upon closer listening, it seemed as if a faint rumbling sound was echoing within it.

"After swallowing a single elixir, I realized my fate was not in the hands of heaven..."

Looking at the pill in one's palm, one can't help but recall this poem that is widely circulated in a certain world.

The difficulty of breaking through to the Dou Sheng level is well known in the Dou Qi Continent; countless powerful individuals spend their entire lives struggling to overcome this insurmountable barrier.

However, if one has the right elixir or opportunity, one can instantly save decades of arduous cultivation and become a saint.

Such a twist of fate, more or less, has that certain charm.

With a slight smile, Chen Xiao didn't think any further, put away the pills, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

a new day.

Chen Xiao gathered Little Fairy Doctor, Zi Yan, Cai Lin, Cao Ying, and Qing Lin, briefly explained some trivial matters, and that if he hadn't finished by a month later, Zi Yan would lead people to the Void Thunder Pool to bring Jiu Xuan over.

Without saying much else, he led Xun'er into the secret room and officially announced his seclusion.

...

Inside the secret room, Chen Xiao and Xun'er sat facing each other.

"Xun'er, the power of a ninth-grade precious pill is terrifying. You need to be mentally prepared. But with me here, you don't need to worry about your safety." After Xun'er had calmed down, Chen Xiao took out the Thunder Tribulation Pill and said.

Xun'er chuckled and nodded, glancing at the golden Thunder Tribulation Pill. She didn't ask why they had only discussed it last night, yet they were able to produce the Thunder Tribulation Pill today.

Taking a deep breath, Xun'er took the pill, her red lips slightly parted, and the Thunder Tribulation Pill transformed into a wisp of golden light, which slid into her mouth as she opened and closed her lips.

"boom!"

As soon as the Thunder Tribulation Pill entered Xun'er's body, the violent energy erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for millions of years. Golden lightning, carrying immense energy, surged wildly along Xun'er's meridians. Wherever the energy passed, Xun'er's flesh and blood became transparent, as if it would burst open at any moment.

Chen Xiao kept his eyes straight ahead, subtly releasing his soul perception to sense Xun'er's condition.

At this moment, with the impact of the Thunder Tribulation Pill's immense energy, the space around Xun'er rippled and twisted, and invisible waves of energy spread outwards in layers. If the secret chamber had not been shrouded by the many restrictions set up by Chen Xiao, the entire mountain where the secret chamber was located would probably have been shaken by this power.

"Xun'er, concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, and circulate your cultivation technique to absorb the energy of the pill."

Chen Xiao gave a soft shout, his voice seemingly containing a calming power, instantly drowning out the thunderous sound within Xun'er's body.

At the same time, Chen Xiao raised his hand and waved, a gentle force turning Xun'er around. He slowly extended his palms and placed them on Xun'er's back. Vast battle qi continuously poured in, like two solid dams, slightly restraining the surging energy within Xun'er's body.

With Chen Xiao's help, Xun'er's pressure instantly decreased. She immediately began to circulate her internal energy, guiding the power within her body to flow slowly along the energy path.

The energy contained in the Thunder Tribulation Pill was extremely terrifying, like streaks of golden lightning rolling through Xun'er's meridians. Sometimes it would condense into a phantom of a thunder dragon, emitting a deafening roar as it tried to break free of its restraints; other times it would be enveloped by battle qi, decomposed into strands of pure energy, and merge into Xun'er's battle qi...

With each assimilation, Xun'er's fighting spirit would surge, and her meridians would become wider and stronger under the impact of this domineering energy.

The domineering nature of the Thunder Tribulation Pill lies in this: it can both temper the physical body and meridians with violent energy and promote breakthroughs in cultivation with pure power.

As Xun'er's condition gradually stabilized, Chen Xiao could also feel that as he mobilized his battle qi to assist Xun'er, strands of pure energy were constantly flowing from his arms into his body.

This energy may not even be one percent of the total energy of the Thunder Tribulation Pill, but for Chen Xiao, who has already reached the peak of the four-star Dou Sheng, it is enough to be the last stone that breaks through the dam!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao stopped being distracted, slowly closed his eyes, and began to regulate the powerful energy within Xun'er's body.

After maintaining this state for more than twenty days, until it was confirmed that Xun'er's condition had completely stabilized and there was no longer any danger, Chen Xiao opened his eyes and withdrew his hands from Xun'er's back.

Chen Xiao then stayed in the secret chamber for another day before leaving. He then sent a message to Zi Yan and headed straight for the Void Thunder Pool.

Nearly a month has passed since the Nine Profound Golden Thunder took human form.

Chen Xiao was quite looking forward to seeing if, after this ups and downs, she could officially step into the level of an eight-star Dou Sheng, as Zhu Hong had said.

Filled with anticipation, Chen Xiao sped along, his speed increasing by more than 30% compared to before!

The deepest part of the Void Thunder Pool.

Besides the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, there were also countless Thunder Demon Thunders gathered here, like subjects of the Nine Profound Golden Thunder, always waiting for its command.

After Jiu Xuan took human form, nearly one-third of the Black Demon Lightning voluntarily offered itself up to help her recover, becoming part of Jiu Xuan's power.

However, just one month later, when Chen Xiao returned to the deepest part of the Void Thunder Pool, he found that the scene there was completely different.

The original dark tone had vanished, and all that could be seen was golden lightning. Not a single black lightning bolt could be found. Only a huge golden lightning dragon, thousands of feet long, was coiled in the center of the sea of ​​lightning.

"Her body is a bit larger now, but the sense of oppression isn't much different from before..."

After sensing it for a moment, Chen Xiao had a guess in his mind.

Nine Xuan, there's a high chance he's truly reached the Eighth Star level!
After all, her body had undergone obvious changes.

As for the similar sense of oppression, it's because Chen Xiao himself is also improving.

You take one step forward, I take one step forward, but the gap remains enormous…

"Boom!"

Just as Chen Xiao was sighing, Jiu Xuan also noticed his appearance.

Immediately, amidst a clap of thunder, the golden thunder dragon opened its eyes and joyfully galloped towards them.

Only when it reached several feet in front of Chen Xiao did it transform into human form amidst the dazzling golden light, waiting expectantly for Chen Xiao's instructions.

Chen Xiao silently removed the invisible barrier surrounding him and revealed a smile.

“Jiuxuan, let’s go. I’ll take you back to Dragon Island.”

Jiu Xuan nodded vigorously, grunted in response, then quickly walked to Chen Xiao's side, pulled up his sleeve, and smiled with utter innocence.

Having spent countless years deep within this sea of ​​thunder, even now that she has taken human form, she speaks very little.

Perhaps, her personality will change once she becomes more familiar with interacting with humans and with the outside world.

Just like Zi Yan before.

Before and after meeting Su Qian, that girl was like a completely different person.

Will Black Thunder appear here again in the future?

"Yes, as long as the Thunder Sea exists, they will continue to be born."

"That's good..."

The two chatted idly, their figures growing further and further away.

Upon arriving at the outer edge of the Thunder Pool, Chen Xiao greeted Elder Mo, who had returned to the area, and then they retraced their steps.

...

The sun and moon contend with each other, their cycles never ceasing.

In the blink of an eye, another two months have quietly passed.

On this day, Dragon Island welcomed back an elder who was at the mid-stage of the four-star Dou Sheng realm. Chen Xiao, along with Zi Yan and Long Yin Zhu Hong, received and settled him in the main hall.

Just as the elder named Heicang was recounting his past wanderings in the void, Cao Ying's voice transmission suddenly rang in his ears.

Immediately, Chen Xiao apologized and got up to leave the main hall.

Upon arriving at the plaza outside, Chen Xiao immediately spotted a familiar figure.

"Tianhuo greets the Pavilion Master."

The person bowing was none other than Venerable Tianhuo, who had been ordered to attend the Space Trade Fair.

Chen Xiao chuckled and nodded. "How is it?"

Although he was asking a question, Chen Xiao already knew the answer in his heart.

If something truly unexpected had happened, Venerable Heavenly Fire would have sent a message back long ago.

As expected, Venerable Tianhuo's next words confirmed Chen Xiao's thoughts.

"There was a minor hiccup, but overall it went very smoothly."

Venerable Tianhuo first reported the results, and then recounted the events that had occurred on this trip.

In short, Venerable Tianhuo and Elder Zhufeng of the Ancient Dragon Clan went to the Space Trade Fair together. They kept a low profile and nothing unexpected happened along the way. It wasn't until the start of the trade fair and the appearance of the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map that some people became jealous due to the bidding.

Therefore, after the Space Trade Fair ended, a group called the Scorpion Demon Trio sought their own demise by ambushing and killing each other on the road.

What happened next was simple: Elder Zhufeng revealed his cultivation level and easily killed him.

"Even though the Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts have perished, their fame will still be enough to circulate in the Central Plains for some time after a Dou Zun killed a Dou Sheng."

Chen Xiao smiled, not minding at all. "Where is Elder Zhufeng? Why isn't he with you?"

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, Elder Zhufeng said that his cultivation level has loosened up a bit, and he went into seclusion as soon as he returned. He also asked me to tell the Pavilion Master that it was just a small favor and that the Pavilion Master need not worry about it."

Venerable Heavenly Fire replied, and at the same time took out the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, took the fragmented map, and with a flick of his finger, the tattered ancient maps floated out and finally hovered in front of him.

Simply piece them together, and they fit perfectly.

Before long, a complete ancient map was clearly displayed under everyone's gaze.

At this moment, a landscape pattern appeared on the pieced-together ancient map, but this so-called pattern looked quite ordinary, without any specific target or route, just like a simple landscape painting drawn by a child.

"this…"

Looking at the complete map, Venerable Tianhuo and the others were somewhat astonished, and even began to doubt the authenticity of the fragment.

The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is the third ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking. This fragment of the map is related to it, so how could it be so simple?
"Don't overthink it, the map is real, it just needs some special methods to make it work properly."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Heavenly Fire breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that nothing went wrong!

It should be noted that on Dragon Island these days, Dou Sheng level experts are commonplace. Even if these Dou Zun have reached the Nine Revolutions to Become Saint stage, they can hardly help Chen Xiao anymore. At most, they can help with errands like this time.

If we can't even handle something this small, how will we face the future?

"By the way, Master, Jianbaoshan, one of the organizers of this event, also released some information."

"It is said that the legendary Bodhi Tree has emerged, and the place where it emerged is the desolate ancient domain on the northeastern border of Zhongzhou, not far from the location of the Space Trade Fair. After the trade fair ended, many powerful people headed in that direction."

"Sect Master, with the emergence of the Bodhi Tree, should we...?"

"Go, we must go! This time it's not just you, I, the Pavilion Master, will also go personally!"

Knowing what Venerable Tianhuo wanted to ask, Chen Xiao replied directly.

He has been stuck on the follow-up of his pre-emptive Bodhicitta for quite some time.

This time, I have to go no matter what!
