Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Trading five hundred years for such an opportunity is absolutely worthwhile, even among ancient families.

Every hundred years, the imperial clan produces a batch of geniuses, but it takes hundreds of years for a new Dou Sheng to emerge.

"But your greed ruined you."

A mocking glint flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

Soul Extinction's plan was excellent. He left his original body behind, waiting for the ninth-grade pill to be completed before fusing the two together to maximize his benefits.

However, he did not know that the ninth-grade pills were divided into three levels, and the power of the lightning tribulation faced by each level was different, which could be described as a different level of heaven for each level.

His physical body still exists, and the power of heaven and earth will determine that he and the elixir are "one," thus becoming part of the tribulation test and increasing the difficulty of the test.

As for the soul essence of Danxuzi and the Old Man of Life, Hun Mieqing was not in a hurry to completely refine it. He also had 100,000 soul essences placed in the four tomb chambers, which he intended to devour and replenish himself when he underwent the tribulation of lightning.

Little did he know that his actions would make this ninth-grade pill very unusual, as if it had developed three intelligences, and the trials it would face would also increase.

Furthermore, refining the essence of the soul is inherently against the natural order and will be punished by lightning.

The flavors that come from layering together.

"Hun Mieqing absolutely cannot withstand that level of lightning tribulation."

"In the original timeline, a year later, Xiao Yanzi was still refining the Fallen Heart Flame under the Burning Heaven Refining Tower."

"Second Brother thought that Xiao Yanzi had gone on a killing spree in the Black Corner Region because of the deaths of Han Feng and others. When he was being chased, he entered a dilapidated ruin and obtained a Life-Devouring Pill."

"I guessed right. Hun Mieqing didn't survive, and the tomb was destroyed, leaving only scraps."

Having figured everything out, Zhang Yuan could only say that Hun Mieqing's greed was an overreaction to excessive caution, and he was destined not to seize this great opportunity.

"We need to cleanse the soul essence of Danxuzi and the Elder of Life first."

Zhang Yuan opened his eyes and said, "Senior, I have obtained the Rebirth Method using the Elixir. Listen carefully."

Yao Chen, who was playing chess with Feng Xian, was taken aback, then waved his hand and put the chessboard away.

Feng Xian: ?

I was finally about to win a game, and you cheated.

"You're pretty fast, Yuan boy," Feng Xian said with some surprise.

He wasn't surprised that Zhang Yuan could obtain the Rebirth Method from Hun Mieqing, but the fact that it only took him a day was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

“Old Feng, you’re the fast one. I’m not fast at all,” Zhang Yuan said seriously.

Feng Xian: ?

“Indeed, the wind blows very quickly.” The old apothecary nodded in agreement.

Feng Xian: ? ?

"What do you two mean?"

Zhang Yuan and Yao Chen exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

Feng Xian: ? ? ?

"The method of rebirth through the use of elixir is that simple. The key is to be willing to go all out and surrender your own soul essence," Zhang Yuan explained the method.

After careful consideration, Yao Chen nodded: "Although this method is dangerous, it is indeed feasible."

"As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. I will now devour the soul essence of Danxuzi and the Old Man of Life to restore my soul power, and then I will try to fuse them with the elixir."

Danxuzi, the Old Man of Life, and Hunmieqing have successfully fought. Yao Lao believes that his luck won't be that bad.

“Senior, you can make your own decision.” Zhang Yuan smiled and said, “Even without using the pill to be reborn, according to our original plan, you can be completely resurrected within five years and will be able to step into the realm of half-saint. Becoming a Dou Sheng is only a matter of time. There is no need to take risks.”

"Moreover, there is a perfectly intact body of a peak Dou Zun beneath this plaza, possessing the bloodline of a Soul Clan Dou Di, which would be an even better source of material."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chen shook his head and said, "No, I find the bodies of Soul Clan experts disgusting."

Zhang Yuan: "."

Since the old doctor was willing to take the risk, he did not try to dissuade him further.

After the pill emitted a strong soul fluctuation, he looked at Feng Xian and said, "Elder Feng, take me to the area below the plaza. Although I find the bodies of the Soul Clan members dirty, they are still good for making puppets."

Feng Xian naturally didn't mind helping with this small favor, and casually opened a spatial passage.

Zhang Yuan rushed through the passage and arrived at the square below, immediately feeling a wave of heat wash over him.

However, with his current physical body and cultivation level, he is not afraid at all.

Is it here?

Zhang Yuan arrived at a certain location on the lava and used a certain soul skill.

"Thorn."

A jet-black chain emerged from the void, dragging out a space.

Within the space, a figure with its eyes closed exuded a certain oppressive aura.

Zhang Yuan examined the body carefully, his gaze finally settling on the ring worn on the middle finger of the body's right hand.

"Looks like we're about to strike it rich."

Chapter 187 Xiao Yan: Tomb Raiding Must Be a Trio! Zi Yan's Little Arrogance

Soul Source Ring.

Zhang Yuan possesses the memories of Hun Mieqing and knows the details of the ring on his hand.

A specially made storage ring containing a space thousands of feet in diameter. Although it cannot store living things, it can allow souls to parasitize it. It is one of the methods used by the Soul Clan to store and transport large amounts of soul essence.

The soul essence in the Soul Source Ring in Hun Mieqing's hand has been arranged around the tomb. What really moved Zhang Yuan were the other collections: some seventh and eighth-order natural treasures, seventh and eighth-order magic cores, and the corpse of an eighth-order peak Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

He possessed several advanced Xuan-rank, low-rank, mid-rank, and advanced Xuan-rank cultivation techniques and combat skills, as well as the low-rank Tian-rank combat skill, the Void Soul Annihilation Palm, which captivated him the most.

Zhang Yuan only needs to completely absorb Hun Mieqing's memories to achieve minor mastery of the several cultivation techniques and combat skills ranging from high-level Xuan to high-level Di. With a little practice, he can achieve major mastery, and even perfection.

The only technique he hasn't had time to master is the Void Soul Annihilation Palm. He needs to learn it himself, but not now.

Even a low-level Heavenly Rank combat skill requires a Half-Saint level expert to unleash its true power.

Below the level of Half-Saint, only high-ranking Dou Zun can use their cultivation techniques as a trump card if they are of a high enough rank.

Those who emerged in response to the times, like Xiao Yanzi, and those with profound backgrounds and resources, like the ancient demons of the ancient clan, could only barely unleash their abilities when they were high-level Dou Zun, using the Five-Round Fire Array and the Great Annihilation Finger respectively.

"With my current strength, I am not capable of learning this fighting technique. Even if I were to learn it, I would not be able to use it. However, I can learn about it first, and perhaps it can be used as a reference when I fuse fighting techniques next time." Zhang Yuan took off his Soul Source Ring and carefully transferred the good items inside to a certain place within the Realm Within the Realm.

Hun Mieqing, being both greedy and overly cautious, actually hid his body beneath the plaza.

If he hides his body somewhere a thousand miles away, he might be able to survive until he completes his elixir.

If he had been more decisive and abandoned his core to return to his original form, he would have had overwhelming power against Feng Xian and Yao Lao, but he couldn't bear to do so.

"Waiting for five hundred years, and then only one more year to become a saint, it's truly hard to let go," Zhang Yuan sighed.

It's all fate and destiny; one can only say that Hun Mieqing was born without the destiny to become a saint.

"Next, we'll move everything out of the tomb, and then we'll start absorbing Hun Mieqing's memories and dealing with the Soul Palace."

After storing Hun Mieqing's body in the Void Realm, Zhang Yuan re-entered the spatial passage and returned to the plaza.

With his gaze sweeping over the pills not far away, Zhang Yuan called Xiao Yan, Zi Yan, and the others, and they began exploring the tomb once again.

Over the next few days, they scoured the tomb, taking away several eighth-grade pill formulas and several seventh-grade pills. They also looted piece after piece of seventh-grade medicinal herbs, all of which were the main ingredients for the Life Devouring Pill. These herbs could also be used to refine other seventh-grade pills or as auxiliary ingredients for eighth-grade pills.

The collections of Danxuzi, Shengji Laoren, and Hunmieqing, accumulated over their lifetimes, made Zhang Yuan incredibly wealthy.

After acquiring everything, Zhang Yuan decided to go into seclusion to refine the memories of Soul Extinction and Clear Soul, while also accumulating energy in preparation for breaking through to the Dou Zong realm.

However, before that, he first found a way to freely enter and exit this tomb from Hun Mieqing's memories and sent Xiao Yan and Zi Yan outside the tomb.

"I've given you the means to come and go freely. You can come anytime you want." Zhang Yuan inscribed two jade slips in the air and handed them to Xiao Yan and Zi Yan.

"Brother, I'll tell Old Man Su and come find you." Zi Yan clung to Zhang Yuan's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Are you looking for me or your sister Qingyanjing to cook something delicious for you?" Zhang Yuan ruthlessly exposed Ziyan's little scheme, his eyes full of doting affection as he smiled.

"Looking for you and having my sister cook me something delicious don't conflict." Zi Yan said cutely, swinging her pigtails.

It's worth mentioning that this braid was designed by Zhang Yuan, and Zi Yan liked it very much.

Only Xiao Yan saw Zhang Yuan pinching his pigtails and a strange expression appeared on his face.

“You really need to come back soon.” Zhang Yuan reached out and stroked Zi Yan’s head, saying seriously, “That Azure Nether Yellow Spring Dragon has a trace of the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon. If you bathe in the dragon’s blood, breaking through to the sixth rank within a year will not be a problem.”

"Once your cultivation level improves, your talent for finding spiritual objects will definitely become stronger as well. At that time, we'll become a tomb raiding duo on the Dou Qi Continent and plunder all the tombs to get a feel for it."

Zhang Yuan used to think that tomb raiding was pointless. "People are already dead, why can't you let them rest in peace? What grudge do you hold against them?"

Where is morality? Where is character? Where is the spirit of a gentleman?

But this time, the haul from the tomb raiding made him want to say, "It's really good!"

The predecessors are all dead. It would be a waste not to use what they left behind, but it would be a great achievement to benefit future generations.

"Don't worry, brother, Ziyan will take you to visit all the tombs." Ziyan rubbed her nose proudly.

"Cough cough cough." Xiao Yan clenched his fist and placed it in front of his mouth.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Zi Yan asked with a look of disgust.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched, and he said in a serious tone, "Zi Yan, do you know that tomb raiding always involves three people?"

Zhang Yuan glanced at him discreetly, thinking to himself that Xiao Yanzi had also read The Grave Robbers' Chronicles.

"Really?" Zi Yan raised an eyebrow. "What's the explanation for that?"

"Triangles are stable," Xiao Yan said seriously.

Zi Yan's eye twitched: "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. Triangles are stable, firm, and resistant to pressure," Xiao Yan said confidently.

Zi Yan narrowed her eyes, then suddenly punched Xiao Yan's hand: "What kind of triangle can withstand a punch from me?"

"Little Yanzi, you don't even call me Big Sister, I'm not going to play with you."

Xiao Yan immediately begged for mercy, saying, "Big Sister, you and your cousin are tomb raiding, don't you need someone to do the hard labor?"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Zi Yan scoffed. "Then you should focus on improving your strength, so you won't be too weak to do manual labor later on."
