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

Chapter 210 Tianbei

The Gama royal family is undoubtedly the happiest force during this period, apart from the snake people.

The deeply entrenched Yunlan Sect was like a mountain in the Jia Ma Empire, making the royal family dare not relax at all, and they even gathered a large number of troops to guard the area, which shows how powerful it was.

But now things are different. Thanks to Xiao Yan's actions, the Yunlan Sect has become history, which is equivalent to eliminating a major threat to the royal family.

What excited the royal family even more was that, ten days after the battle of Yunlan Sect ended, the Dou Wang powerhouse who had led Venerable Tianhuo to the three great empires to behead the enemy also brought back good news.

The Poison Sect of the Izumo Empire, the Golden Goose Sect of the Luoyan Empire, and the Mulan Valley of the Mulan Empire—these three forces, which were eager to launch a joint war, were all annihilated!

Without these three leading forces, the three great empires have suffered a great loss of strength, and war is unlikely to break out again in the short term.

A huge threat was thus resolved without anyone noticing.

The Gama royal family is winning without lifting a finger!

"Prepare a generous gift—no, two! I'm going to see the Ice Emperor tomorrow, and then I'll personally go to Tagor to express my gratitude!"

Upon hearing the report from the returning Dou Wang powerhouse, Jia Xingtian was unable to contain his excitement. He gazed intently at the starry sky above and quickly made a decision. Regardless of Chen Xiao's original intentions, he had solved a huge problem for the royal family, and he had to express his gratitude both morally and logically.

Moreover, Jia Xingtian still harbored illusions.

Perhaps this opportunity can be used to bring relations closer, which would make the Gama Empire more stable.

Even breaking through to the Dou Zong realm was no longer without a way.

Jia Xingtian was incredibly envious of Hai Bodong's improved strength.

If even Hai Bodong can get connections, why can't he add Xing Tian and the royal family?

Tagor Desert, the holy city of the Snake People.

Hai Bodong, whom Jia Xingtian envies, is currently a guest in the Holy City.

Inside the temple, there stood—no, hovered—the Venerable Heavenly Fire, who had just returned from beheading.

"Sect Master, these storage rings are what we obtained this time. I took the liberty of sorting them out, putting medicinal herbs and pills, poisons and materials, cultivation techniques and fighting skills into separate storage rings. These two scrolls are the Golden Goose Sect's 'Nine Wings of the Heavenly Goose' and the Mulan Valley's 'Three Beasts Wilderness Technique,' which are our greatest gains this time."

After returning the puppets, Venerable Heavenly Fire presented a handful of storage rings and said.

Mulan Valley's "Three Beasts Savage Technique" is a mid-level Earth-rank cultivation method inherited from ancient times, and can also be regarded as a combined attack technique.

If three people cultivate with perfect understanding and a shared vision, they can combine their power.

The fact that the three elders of Mulan, who were only at the peak of the Douhuang realm, could rival ordinary Douzong experts with this technique is enough to prove its wonder.

Jin Yan Valley's "Nine Wings of the Sky Goose" cannot be viewed in the conventional sense; more accurately, it is a method of creating a flying combat technique.

The specific grade also depends on the materials used in its production, etc.

When Chen Xiao obtained the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Corpse in the Black Corner Region, he thought of this thing. However, at that time, he had already cultivated the Three Thousand Thunder Movements to perfection, which made him extremely capable of protecting his life. Therefore, his need for the Heavenly Goose Nine-Wing Wings was only so-so.

"Well done. Did you encounter any trouble this time?"

He raised his hand and drew a handful of storage rings and two scrolls into his hand. Chen Xiao's consciousness seeped into them, and seeing the neatly arranged spoils of war inside, his smile deepened, and he couldn't help but praise them.

"We pushed forward smoothly without encountering any trouble," Venerable Heavenly Fire replied truthfully.

For this mission, the Gama royal family sent someone to guide the way, but in reality, the role of Venerable Tianhuo was almost the same.

After all, with nine vengeful spirits accompanying him, he had no chance to make a move.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, not too surprised.

As far as he knew, there was a Soul Palace Protector within the Izumo Empire, and the other two great empires might also have one.

However, the Soul Palace Protector was only at the Dou Zong level and posed no threat to the Heavenly Fire Venerable who was carrying nine puppets.

Given that the Soul Palace has always preferred to avoid actively getting involved in conflicts and instead prefers to cause trouble in secret, their decision to go into hiding was predictable.

"Cai Lin, you can let the four elders try cultivating this Three Beasts Wilderness Technique. The four elders have excellent teamwork, so there should be hope for them to succeed."

"Xian'er, these are the spoils of war from the Poison Sect."

"Elder Hai, I'm leaving the rest to you. They'll be put into the Zixiao Pavilion's treasury afterward."

After scanning through all the storage rings, Chen Xiao kept only one containing combat techniques and some ancient books and notes, and distributed the rest.

Whoever can use it can use it; anything that can't be used is put into the treasure vault and then transformed by the Zixiao Pavilion into usable resources.

Chen Xiao always handled spoils of war in this way.

Both Cai Lin Xiao Yi Xian and Hai Bo Dong nodded in agreement, without saying anything more.

It seemed that Venerable Heavenly Fire had discovered Chen Xiao's preference. He raised his hand and took out a bunch of scrolls from his storage ring.

This includes his signature technique, the Five-Ring Fire Technique!

"Master, these are some combat techniques I've collected. I used to cherish them, but now I feel that every single one of them is full of flaws."

I humbly request that you review this and offer your guidance.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but laugh.

It was no secret that Venerable Tianhuo was required to serve Chen Xiao for ten years as agreed; they all knew this.

In terms of closeness or distance, Venerable Tianhuo was not considered a true member of Hai Bodong's group.

The actions of Venerable Tianhuo now suggest a willingness to pledge allegiance, as he has even brought out his most treasured possessions, which is enough to demonstrate his stance.

"Alright, I'll give it back to you after I've looked at it once. You should go and recuperate in the storage ring first. We'll set off back to Zhongzhou tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on the resurrection for you in the future."

Chen Xiao naturally wouldn't turn away a Dou Zun expert who offered himself up, and immediately put away all the scrolls.

As consciousness settled into the mind, the subsequent progress of the pre-drawn technique immediately became apparent.

[48680/50000]

We're very close to completing the sequel, mainly because we were delayed for too long while refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame in the False Heaven. Otherwise, we would have already completed the sequel by now.

However, it doesn't matter. Chen Xiao has already scanned through them. Once he finishes reading through all the cultivation techniques, combat skills, ancient books, and notes he has obtained this time, he will definitely be able to complete the follow-up tasks.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Upon hearing the word "resurrection," Venerable Heavenly Fire suddenly looked up, his excitement barely contained.

His willingness to pledge allegiance was largely due to some events he witnessed at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Chen Xiao and his group possessed various abilities, including the Calamity Poison Body, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, strange fire, and array formations, leaving Venerable Heavenly Fire overwhelmed.

At the same time, he could also sense the terrifying potential of this group of people.

Therefore, Venerable Tianhuo took the initiative to board this large ship as soon as possible.

In this way, in eight or ten years, he might become a veteran on Chen Xiao's side.

Looking forward to a bright future, Venerable Tianhuo never expected that Chen Xiao would give him such a big surprise so soon after he was truly accepted. Although the matter of resurrection is still just a pie in the sky, it has already given Venerable Tianhuo a lot of motivation.

"Let's continue discussing the relocation. Tomorrow morning, Xian'er, Qinglin, Elder Hai, and I will go ahead first. Elder Hai will return to the Black Corner Region to make preparations, while I will go to the Northern Central Plains to select a site. Once the location is finalized, I will send you a message. After the space wormhole is opened, you can move in batches."

The main reason for this trip back to the Northwest was that I didn't want to miss the birth of my daughter. Now that I've basically taken care of all the big and small matters, it's time to return to my normal cultivation path.

Although Chen Xiao didn't want to be separated from Cai Lin and her daughter, Yao Yao was still too young and not suitable for traveling.

Therefore, it would be better to go to Zhongzhou, open up the space wormhole, and then bring them over. Anyway, it won't take too long, probably only a few months.

Then, the whole family can truly get together.

The plan had already been finalized; this was just a discussion of some details.

a new day.

As dawn broke, Chen Xiao and his group were ready to set off.

"Cai Lin, you and Yao Yao wait for me. We'll see each other again soon this time."

After playing with his daughter for a while, Chen Xiao reluctantly handed Xiao Yao over to Cai Lin and gave her instructions.

Cai Lin nodded slightly. "Be careful."

Chen Xiao nodded and stepped forward again to embrace the voluptuous body, causing Cai Lin's cheeks to flush instantly.

When alone in private, Cai Lin is very open and relaxed, and she is also very proactive when being affectionate.

However, Cai Lin was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that Xiao Yi Xian and the others were so close to her, especially with so many snake-man soldiers on the city wall. After all, this was completely different from the aloof and arrogant Queen in the eyes of her people.

Fortunately, Chen Xiao didn't go too far. He quickly released her, gently pinched Yao Yao's little cheek, and performed a magic trick amidst her childish laughter. He raised his hand, tore open space, and led the three of them, including Little Fairy Doctor, into it.

With a clear plan, Chen Xiao didn't linger when he returned to the Black Corner Region. He didn't even go to Canaan Academy again. After sending Hai Bodong back to Zixiao Pavilion, he took Little Fairy Doctor and Qinglin straight to Tianya City.

Although they could also tear through space to travel at a speed no slower than a wormhole, there was no harm in not using a wormhole that already existed.

In any case, the distance between Tianya City and Black Corner Region is so close to them now that it's not an exaggeration to say it's very close.

"Once the space wormhole between Black Corner Region and Tagor is opened, the number of people in Tianya City will probably plummet by several levels in an instant."

Upon arriving in Tianya City and seeing the massive influx of people, Qinglin couldn't help but chuckle. She could already foresee what Tianya City would look like in a few months.

Tagor's space wormhole is fine, but if the Black Corner Region had a space wormhole, only a fool would be willing to come to Tianya City to borrow a passage.

After all, for those below the Dou Zun level, this journey is still quite long, unlike them who can tear through space and arrive at an extremely fast speed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. As our strength increases, it will inevitably affect the rise and fall of many other forces, and we can't worry about that much."

Chen Xiao shook his head and chuckled, not caring about it.

Let alone in a dog-eat-dog world like the Dou Qi Continent, even in the mortal world, a single event can trigger a chain reaction. Doing a small business can draw away customers from competitors, and improving one's academic performance can push someone else down to the next level.

We're all strangers, so why would anyone let others hold them back?

"Let's go, ignore them."

The next ten days or so are self-explanatory.

Unlike before, with Qinglin around, they no longer need to spare anyone to maintain the spaceship. Qinglin has entrusted the entire task to the two-headed fire spirit snake.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao and Little Fairy Doctor took advantage of their free time to continuously teach Qing Lin the art of formations, and occasionally they would seal away the Heavenly Fire Venerable.

A tender moment, and a day can feel like a million miles.

In the north of Zhongzhou, there is a city called Xiancheng.

It is also the other end connected by the space wormhole of Tianya City.

This is a vast gravel plaza, with a huge stone platform standing in the center.

At the top of the stone platform, a pitch-black wormhole, tens of feet wide, was slowly rotating, and astonishing spatial fluctuations were constantly spreading out from it.

The silence of the gravel square lasted for a while, then a series of muffled "thump-thump" sounds suddenly rang out.

As these sounds rang out, the space around the wormhole began to tremble violently, and figures shot out of the wormhole and then landed scattered across the plaza.

"This wormhole seems a bit unstable. Several spatial barriers we passed along the way were very thin, so the probability of a spatial storm is not small."

Bathed in the sunlight, Little Fairy Doctor took a deep breath of the fresh air outside before turning around to look at the spatial wormhole behind her and saying.

Spatial storms pose no threat to people like them who prefer to save trouble, but for those below the Dou Zun level, even a Dou Zong expert would find them troublesome if they encountered one.

Below the Dou Zong level, unless one is a chosen one, the probability of their demise is extremely high!

"Look at the notice over there, they know this too, and they're already recruiting lots of people to do the repairs."

Chen Xiao, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted a notice on a stone pillar not far away.

Moreover, he knew from his memories that Tianya City was doing the same thing.

In the original trajectory, Little Fairy Doctor was involved.

Unfortunately, they eventually encountered a space storm.

Following Chen Xiao's gaze, Little Fairy Doctor chuckled and said nothing more.

If others are unaware of the potential danger, then a humanitarian reminder can be given. But since they are aware, there's no need to go to such lengths.

"Young master, where are we going now?"

Qinglin, who paid no attention to trivial matters, spoke up and asked a question.

In fact, Chen Xiao had already explained the arrangements after arriving in Zhongzhou before leaving Tagor. Qing Lin, however, was selectively forgetting.

Actually, it's just that I don't want to break up.

Chen Xiao glanced at her helplessly and smiled, "Let's stick to the original plan. Xian'er, go and receive the inheritance. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll come back. Qinglin, you don't have any missions. Travel around Zhongzhou and relax. If you really lose patience, you can come back anytime. Anyway, I'm right here in Tianbei."

The remnant soul of the ancient celestial serpent is not within the scope of what can be obtained at present, so Chen Xiao is unaware of the specific details.

Everything depends on fate.

It would be best if he could meet Qing Lin, but if he missed out, it wouldn't be a big deal. Next time the advance limit is raised, Chen Xiao will definitely get accurate information.

It's even possible that we could find a living ancient celestial serpent for Qinglin in the future.

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Little Fairy Doctor nodded with a smile.

She was determined to take the opportunity to inherit the Calamity Poison Body, as it offered tangible benefits.

Even if you don't go now, you'll have to go later.

I'm not sure if I'll ever have this much free time again, so it's better to go and come back sooner rather than later.

When we returned, the brief separation felt like a new marriage, which was a novel experience.

Just like this time when they returned to Tagor, Little Fairy Doctor lived next to Cai Lin's bedroom and could often sense the two of them fighting until midnight. When Qing Lin heard Chen Xiao say that she could come back at any time, she did not resist.

She also knew Chen Xiao well and knew that he wouldn't make meaningless arrangements. Since that was the case, going out for a walk might very well be beneficial.

"Young master, please be careful in Tianbei. If you encounter any enemies, please send me a message immediately and I will rush back."

"Don't worry, although Zhongzhou is full of hidden talents, there aren't many strong people in Tianbei. Your young master is at least a peak one-star Dou Zun. I don't even know how strong I am now."

Chen Xiao made a joke, which wasn't entirely untrue.

He knew something about the situation in Tianbei, Zhongzhou.

Hearing this, Qinglin finally felt relieved.

"Go ahead, I won't see you off. It's been many years since I've traveled alone, I'll go and reminisce a bit."

Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin nodded slightly, and without further ado, they tore open space on the spot and disappeared into it under Chen Xiao's gaze.

Only now did the passersby realize with shock that the two stunning beauties, each with their own unique charm, were actually both Dou Zun powerhouses!

hiss!

Everyone gasped in unison. To have two beauties at the Dou Zun level by his side, the remaining person turned their gazes toward Chen Xiao, their envy hidden, their suspicions uncertain.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, ignoring the stares, and vanished from his spot in a flash.
