Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

Just then, a three-star Douling cultivator attempted to rob Qinglin. Qinglin was about to make a move when a powerful aura suddenly flashed across the sky. Instantly, the three-star Douling cultivator was blasted into the ground, his life force extinguished.

"Whoosh!" A flash of light appeared, and Yuan Yi appeared on the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Yan also emerged from the forest, his hand resting on the Xuan Heavy Ruler behind him, looking warily at Yuan Yi.

"Young brother, don't misunderstand, I'm not here to rob or cause trouble!" Yuan Yi hurriedly called out when he saw Xiao Yan's wary look.

“You’re an old hand at this, sir. Whether you’re robbing or causing trouble can’t be proven with just a few words!” Xiao Yan said when he saw that Chen Yang didn’t make a move.

Yuan Yi also noticed Xiao Yan's actions and knew that Chen Yang was the real leader of this group, so he went straight to the point: "Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I am Yuan Yi, the sect leader of the Eight Doors. After the auction, I was busy handing over the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, so I didn't have time to meet with you. When I learned that you had left Black Seal City, I hurriedly prepared gifts and rushed over!"

As he spoke, Yuan Yi took out the storage ring and used his battle qi to present it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang smiled faintly and waved his hand lightly, causing the storage ring to hover in the air, startling Yuan Yi.

The opponent was able to easily break through my methods and even made the storage ring hover in the air without moving his battle qi. He must be at least a high-level Dou Huang.

It seems that my actions this time were entirely correct, and may even bring unexpected benefits to the Eight Doors.

"Sect Leader Yuan, you're too kind. We just happened to be passing through Black Seal City and took pictures of a few things that interested us. Sect Leader Yuan, please take these gifts back!" Chen Yang chuckled.

"You're too kind, sir. Consider this a token of my friendship with you. If you ever visit Black Seal City again, just come and find me. I will certainly welcome you with open arms!" Yuan Yi was even happier than Chen Yang.

"I know that Sect Master Yuan came for my brother, but it's a pity that he is a student of Canaan Academy and probably won't be able to join Sect Master Yuan's ranks!" Chen Yang said softly, pointing to Xiao Yan beside him.

"So this young brother is actually a top student of Canaan Academy. I am truly sorry!" Yuan Yi immediately cupped his hands in greeting. As a prominent institution in the Black Corner Region, Canaan Academy, although its code of conduct seemed foolish to Yuan Yi, was filled with powerful individuals. Compared to Canaan Academy, his small Eight Doors was nothing but a fart.

"Sect Leader Yuan, you are too kind. Although I am not destined to be friends with you, I would be happy to make friends with you!" Xiao Yan naturally knew the principle that having more friends meant having more paths. Although he and Yuan Yi could not be true friends, it would be best if they could cooperate and find the medicinal materials he needed through Yuan Yi's connections.

"Of course I'm willing, Brother Xiao, you flatter me too much!" The two flattered each other, and Chen Yang watched with a smile.

"Sect Leader Yuan, my brother and I are heading to Canaan Academy in the next few days. If Sect Leader Yuan has time, please come to Canaan Academy. I will gladly share a drink with you!" Xiao Yan said.

“Of course, I will not disturb your business with Brother Xiao.” Yuan Yi nodded. He was quite satisfied to have made contact with a top student from Canaan Academy today, who might even become an elder. Moreover, there was at least a high-level Dou Huang among them.

"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you. The Blood Sect Master, Fan Lao, may have already arrived outside Black Seal City. Brother Xiao, if you want to continue... you'd better be careful!" Yuan Yi naturally couldn't get involved in the Blood Sect's affairs at the moment. Neither he nor the Eight Doors had the overall strength to match the Blood Sect.

"Just the Blood Sect..." Chen Yang waved his hand, "but thank you for informing me, Sect Master Yuan."

Amidst Yuan Yi's bewildered expression, Chen Yang said quietly, "There's something I'd like to ask Sect Leader Yuan to think about carefully. Although the Black Corner Region isn't small, Sect Leader Yuan's power isn't very great, whether openly or covertly. Sometimes, being more careful can help you secure your own safety!"

"I hope Sect Leader Yuan will give this matter a second thought!" With that, Chen Yang waved his hand, sweeping the storage ring Yuan Yi had brought over. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, Yuan Yi was sent flying like a kite in the wind, heading straight towards Black Seal City.

As Yuan Yi regained control of his body and unfurled his battle aura wings in the air, only four words remained in his mind: "A Dou Zong powerhouse!!!"

……

"Brother Yang, Yuan Yi is quite generous! This sixth-order medicine cauldron is worth at least two million gold coins!" After Xiao Yan and Chen Yang re-entered the forest, they began to examine the items in the storage ring. This sixth-order medicine cauldron would be an extremely precious item even in the Jia Ma Empire, and it was probably only in the hands of Gu He and Fa Ma.

"This guy was able to create Black Seal City in the vast Black Corner Region with his strength as a two-star Dou Huang, and it wasn't just because of his ruthlessness." Yuan Yi wasn't described much in the original work, and his name only appeared twice, but his methods were definitely not questionable.

If someone like that is properly managed, he would be an excellent helper in collecting medicinal herbs for him in the Black Corner Region.

"Brother Yang, are you perhaps planning to subdue Yuan Yi and establish your own power in the Black Corner Region?" Xiao Yan asked softly, tossing his storage ring up and down repeatedly.

"Although I am powerful and skilled in alchemy, there are some medicinal herbs that cannot be found simply by having the strength. This Black Corner Region connects the Central Continent and the Northwest Continent, and good things circulate here. Moreover, there is the Ten Thousand Mile Mountain Range, where there are many good things!"

"How long can we find those medicinal herbs on our own?"

"Therefore, having a loyal and helpful person will save you a lot of effort!"

Chen Yang said.

"But Yuan Yi doesn't seem like someone who can be easy to deal with," Xiao Yan said worriedly.

"Using both kindness and severity, and then tampering with the pills given to him, is far too easy for an alchemist!"

"He's just a mere Dou Huang. As long as he's loyal to me, the effects of the pill will never be triggered. But if... hehe..."

Chen Yang said with a relaxed expression.

"That's true!"

Xiao Yan nodded. As fellow alchemists, especially those who wield strange fire, it's far too easy for them to use underhanded tactics against others.

"Alright, get ready, the show is about to begin!" Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

……

After Dou Ling returned from Tian She Mansion, he reported to Elder Qing, who immediately "understood" Qing Lin's background: "So he is Elder Lü Man's disciple. Now everything makes sense. With that senior's help, things will be much easier for us this time. Let's go, let's set off immediately and return to Tian She Mansion!"

So Elder Qing and his group quietly left the inn. However, the Blood Sect members had been watching them all along, so how could they possibly leave so easily?

As they traveled into the dense forest, Elder Qing wasn't too worried. After all, since that person had said so, there must be no problem.

However, trouble soon struck them. Blood Sect's Fan Lao personally intervened, snatching the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill from Elder Qing's hand. Just as Elder Qing was about to be killed by Fan Lao, a figure suddenly appeared and killed Fan Lao with a single palm strike.

"Senior...?" Elder Qing asked cautiously.

"I was a little late because of some things. Are you all alright?" Chen Yang asked Elder Qing.

"Thank you so much for saving me, senior! I am deeply grateful!" Elder Qing hurriedly knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude.

"It's good that you've survived. Give my regards to Green Barbarian when you get back!" Chen Yang nodded, then turned and left.

Elder Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not suggest that Chen Yang should pursue Fan Ling to retrieve the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.

"Elder, what about Yin and Yang..." The fighting spirit looked at Elder Qing.

"The Blood Sect stole the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, which is a provocation against our Heavenly Serpent Palace. Go back and inform the elders about this matter, and ask them to make a decision!" Elder Qing looked in the direction Chen Yang had left and said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Dou Ling nodded, and then quickly headed towards the Heavenly Serpent Mansion with Elder Qing and his group.

After Chen Yang met up with Xiao Yan, he saw that Xiao Yan was holding a box in his hand and looking at him with a smile.

【Ding! 】

[The highest quality pill detected near Black Seal City is the Grade 7 Top-Tier Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. The host has obtained the Grade 8 Nine-Colored Thunderous Primordial Creation Pill!]

[Primordial Creation Pill: An eighth-grade, nine-colored thunder pill. After taking it, one will be able to break through and rebuild from the brink of death in a life-or-death crisis. Below the level of Dou Sheng, after breaking through and rebuilding, one can directly increase their cultivation level by nine stars to one star. At the peak of the ninth level Dou Zun, after breaking through and rebuilding, one can directly skip the half-saint level and break through to the one-star Dou Sheng!]

"Wow... this thing is good..."

Chapter 107 Arrival at Canaan Academy

In the original novel, the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill's greatest effect was manifested in Xiao Yan. The pill's efficacy enabled Xiao Yan, who was on the verge of death from severe injuries at the Nine-Star Dou Zong level, to break through and rise again to the Dou Zun level.

However, Xiao Yan's ability to break through from a nine-star Dou Zong to a Dou Zun within a year was due not only to the effects of the Yin Yang Xuanlong Pill, but also to the Fallen Heart Flame and the Three Thousand Burning Flames within him, as well as the energy from the extraterrestrial meteorite in the Starfall Pavilion.

All of these factors combined were what allowed Xiao Yan to successfully break through to the next realm. Even so, it was only because Xiao Yan had great luck and good fortune that he was able to successfully trigger the effect of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.

Add to that the trace of dragon energy he "luckily" obtained, and that's all the effects of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill.

However, the [Primordial Creation Pill] obtained by triggering the system reward can completely transform a person from a broken state to a new one. Moreover, if a peak-level Dou Zun at the Ninth Revolution is killed, they can wake up and directly skip the Half-Saint level to become a Dou Sheng. This effect is comparable to the Bodhi Heart.

"Is the main ingredient of this thing related to the Bodhi Tree?" Chen Yang looked at his main storage ring with his soul power and pondered to himself.

"Brother Yang? Brother Yang!!!" Just as Chen Yang was speculating about the composition of the Hunyuan Creation Pill, Xiao Yan saw Chen Yang, who was smiling but still somewhat dazed, and called out twice.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Chen Yang came back to his senses and looked at Xiao Yan, who was holding the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill box in his hands.

"Brother Yang, take this Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. I haven't given you any really good gifts along the way, so I'll just offer it to you..." Xiao Yan scratched his head and chuckled as he looked at Chen Yang.

"You should keep it yourself. I don't really need it," Chen Yang said, waving his hand.

The Yin-Yang Xuanlong Pill was useless to him; he only gave it to those around him.

However, apart from Ya Fei, the women around him were all either highly talented or had great opportunities.

With Qinglin and Xiaoyixian steadily cultivating, they are likely to start as Dou Sheng in the future.

Medusa has the bloodline of the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, and she will definitely evolve into the Nine-Colored Python in the future, and may even become a Battle Emperor.

Although Yun Yun is not particularly talented, there is an opportunity waiting for him at the Flower Sect, and with him around, how could the women in the family lack elixirs?

Chen Yang is now worried about who should take the Primordial Creation Pill!

"Then... how about we give it to Sister-in-law Qinglin?" Xiao Yan looked at Qinglin, who was standing beside him with a sword in hand and an eight-winged black serpent king flying around her, and asked tentatively.

"You should think more about yourself. Qinglin's talent is about to experience an explosive improvement. If you don't deal with that Fallen Heart Flame soon, Qinglin's strength will definitely surpass yours within three years!" Chen Yang patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, then opened the box of Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pills with a wave of his hand, and flicked the pill into Xiao Yan's mouth.

"Glug!" The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Xiao Yan swallowed instinctively, and the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill was already in his stomach.

"Sigh!!!" How could Xiao Yan, a mere Dou Wang, possibly react to the methods of a Dou Zong? By the time he realized it, the pills had already been digested.

“No… Brother Yang, even if you don’t want it, you can give it to another sister-in-law, this…” Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang, his hand almost raised high and he jumped up.

"I've noticed you've become so fussy since you entered the Black Corner Region. Are you trying to change your personality and impress your girlfriend more?" Chen Yang glared at Xiao Yan and said teasingly.

"It's not that bad, it's just... it's just..." Xiao Yan hesitated for a few moments, then let out a long sigh, "Sigh—Brother Yang, thank you!"

"Haha..." Chen Yang chuckled, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder twice, and then signaled the Eight-Winged Black Serpent King to grow larger. The group then leaped up and landed on Bai Ya's back.

"Whoosh!" In the darkness, the figure of the old apothecary suddenly floated out of the bone ring, truly frightening like a ghost—even though he was already a ghost.

However, the group was already used to the old doctor's appearance, so their expressions didn't change much.

"Teacher, Brother Yang, why don't I feel anything after taking this seventh-grade pill?" Xiao Yan sat cross-legged and carefully comprehended it. He scratched his head, opened his eyes, and looked at Chen Yang and Yao Lao, asking in confusion.

"What kind of feeling do you want? To have your whole body radiate golden light, causing the black snake's head to explode, or to have your own head explode?" The old doctor rolled his eyes, speechless.

"You've heard about the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill. It's a pill that breaks down and rebuilds. Its effects are currently dormant within you, and they might only be triggered when you face a true life-or-death crisis." Chen Yang, holding Qing Lin's hand, sat on Bai Ya's head and explained with a smile to Xiao Yan, "However, the effects of this pill have an upper limit. A top-grade seventh-rank pill can at most help you break through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun. After Dou Zun, this pill won't have much of an effect!"

Upon hearing this, the old doctor nodded, but then looked at Chen Yang with some curiosity: "Young Chen, how did you know about the effects of this pill? This Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill is my own creation, and I am the only one in the entire Dou Qi Continent who knows how to refine it. Outsiders have only heard about the effects of this pill."

Chen Yang looked at Yao Lao with a mysterious smile, making Yao Lao feel insecure: "I am the number one alchemy genius in the history of Dou Qi Continent. I can tell how the Yin Yang Xuan Long Pill is made with just one glance."

The old medicine doctor: "???"

Xiao Yan: "!!!"

Qinglin: "Heart! Heart! Heart!"

White Fang: "666!"

After everyone had either fallen silent or shown their admiration, Chen Yang changed the subject.

"Little Yanzi, this Yin Yang Xuanlong Pill will inherit a trace of the dragon energy of the dragon-type magical beasts in the pill. Why don't you try it and see if you get any?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan carefully comprehended the sound and then suddenly let out a roar similar to a dragon's cry, which nearly made Bai Ya fall off the clouds.

If Chen Yang hadn't refined a pill for it some time ago, helping it reach the peak of the Dou Huang level, Xiao Yan's dragon roar would have directly knocked it down.

"Click!"
