While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 107 Invitation, Breakthrough

Five miles outside of Shafeng City, there is a short pavilion for travelers to rest.

Moonlight bathed the pavilion railings, and stars adorned the eaves. The two, reunited after a long separation, spent more than three years chatting idly.

"Do I seem like a stranger to you now?"

The Little Fairy Doctor's voice was slightly hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken for a very long time.

She is now completely different from the little fairy doctor who stood behind the counter of the Wan Yao Zhai clinic, seeing patients and practicing medicine.

Regardless of temperament, physique, or ability, etc.

This is true in every aspect.

"The changes are indeed significant, but not to the point of feeling like strangers. Because of me, you've embarked on this path ahead of time. If even I couldn't recognize you at first glance, then I would be a terrible friend."

Chen Xiao shook his head. He had already anticipated that their reunion would be like this when they parted ways.

Moreover, deep down, he thought that Little Fairy Doctor looked really beautiful now.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, and her worries dissipated.

Removing the thin veil that covered her face and letting it be blown away by the night breeze, Little Fairy Doctor let out a long sigh of relief, clearly feeling much more relaxed.

"The atmosphere in the Izumo Empire is very harmful. I have killed many people and experienced many things in the past few years. The words 'cold-blooded and ruthless' have almost eroded me. Fortunately, you came early. If it had been a few years later, I probably wouldn't have dared to see you. I want you to keep the kind-hearted Little Fairy Doctor in your heart forever."

"Of the three words 'past, present, and future,' I prefer the latter two, so you can set your mind at bay."

"future…"

Little Fairy Doctor murmured, looking somewhat bewildered.

She is no longer the ignorant physician of Wan Yao Zhai. Coming to the Chu Yun Empire has given her a deeper understanding of the Calamity Poison Body.

At the same time, she also learned how difficult it was to obtain the things that Chen Xiao had mentioned that could change her destiny.

She has been keeping an eye on things for the past few years, but the results have been almost zero, which has gradually eroded her confidence.

Sensing the wavering in Little Fairy Doctor's heart, Chen Xiao flipped his hand, and a scroll fell into his grasp.

"I've come to see you not just to visit you, but also to tell you some good news."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao handed the scroll to Little Fairy Doctor.

He took it and examined it. Soon, a look of astonishment appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's increasingly exquisite and charming face.

"The specific method for condensing poison pills!"

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes brightened slightly; the confidence that had been almost completely worn down by reality was rekindled.

Just as Yao Chen said, this method of using poison pills is a slim hope!

Even though the chances are slim, there has been progress!

"I have more good news for you. I know the whereabouts of many strange flames. We have found a genius alchemist who has refined the first one. The second and third flames will be ready soon. Moreover, there are clues about the Bodhi Transformation Saliva in the Black Corner Region. I have also found out the exact location of the final seventh-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast."

Listening to Chen Xiao's story, Little Fairy Doctor's red lips parted slightly, and she was so surprised that she was speechless for a moment.

She never expected that something that had left her completely clueless could make such progress overnight, and that she seemed very close to breaking free from her fate.

At this moment, the spark that had just ignited in her heart had become a prairie fire!

As she rolled up the scroll, Little Fairy Doctor smiled and, under Chen Xiao's astonished gaze, threw it into his arms. Unfortunately, before Chen Xiao could fully appreciate it, they parted after just one touch.

"Thank you! This is really the last time."

"Right now, I feel like I've survived a disaster. Receiving so much good news feels like a dream, but thankfully, my sense of touch tells me it's all real!"

Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment, then joked, "Next time you pounce on me, give me a heads-up. I didn't even have time to react."

"Dream on!"

Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at him, then her tone became slightly more serious.

"The Calamity Poison Body is not suitable for contact. It's best to keep my distance until I can fully control it."

Chen Xiao nodded; of course he knew that.

Without delving into the topic further, Chen Xiao extended an invitation instead.

"Come with me to the Black Corner Region. Although it's not as rife with poison masters as the Izumo Empire, its resources are definitely no worse than here. Plus, you'll be able to get the latest updates on the progress."

"good!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Little Fairy Doctor nodded directly.

Although she had spent a lot of effort secretly arranging things in this Cloud Empire in order to gain more resources, she felt no regret at giving it up now.

She also wanted to contribute to collecting the materials needed to condense the poison pill.

Chen Xiao wasn't surprised by her decision. He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, there's no need for us to rush into catching up. We'll have plenty of time to talk later. Let's go back to Shafeng City, and I'll introduce you to some friends."

...

Fifteen minutes later.

In an inn within the city.

There were clearly five or six people gathered together, but not a single one of them spoke.

After Chen Xiao's introduction, Little Fairy Doctor and Zi Yan and the others got to know each other for the first time, and they were all very friendly to each other.

No one spoke at that moment; they were simply shocked.

Even Cao Xi, a powerful Dou Zong, felt somewhat dazed.

Since meeting Chen Xiao, he has discovered that the Northwest Continent is truly a land of outstanding people and abundant resources.

It's one thing for Chen Xiao, a seven-star Dou Wang who's not even sixteen years old, to appear, but then there's Zi Yan by his side, who is very likely the Ancient Void Dragon.

Just when we finally accepted this fact, another nine-star Dou Wang appeared, who was also not very old and was definitely no more than twenty years old!

One, two, three…

The unexpected events left Cao Xi completely baffled. How could so many freaks appear in this barren Northwest Continent?

Could it be that by some twist of fate, all the monsters from the entire Northwest Continent have gathered together?

Even so, it's still a bit chilling to think about!

Hai Bodong was also deeply shocked and felt even more strongly that his decision to leave the Gama Empire was the right one.

You'll never know what the world is like if you don't step out of your comfort zone!

The silence lasted for a while before Zi Yan finally broke it with her voice.

"Medusa, Cao Ying, and Little Fairy Doctor—hehe, the journey ahead definitely won't be boring!"

Zi Yan is very outgoing, and everyone present knows her personality well.

Little Fairy Doctor, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback when she first met Zi Yan and heard her address her so naturally.

Immediately, she remembered Qinglin, whom she had met once at Wan Yao Zhai when she was with Chen Xiao.

Compared to the well-behaved and adorable Qinglin, this Ziyan is much more lively and unrestrained.

But they are all quite likable.

As Zi Yan said, with Little Fairy Doctor joining the journey, the rest of the trip became even more lively.

She was like the darling of the group, always hovering around Cao Ying and Little Fairy Doctor, chatting here and there. Even though she was the most relaxed one, she gave the impression that she was incredibly busy...

In this atmosphere, the group traveled for half a month and finally stopped briefly outside the Black Domain Great Plains, the gateway to the Black Corner Region.

It wasn't because they encountered that terrifying black storm, it was simply because Chen Xiao was about to break through!

The transition from a Seven-Star Dou King to an Eight-Star Dou King was a natural progression.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiao took out the Spirit-Boosting Pill given to him by the Cao family and swallowed it without hesitation.

And the result did not disappoint him.

"Nine-Star Dou King!"
