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

Chapter 394 White Dragon Spiritual Treasure

After staying in the Great Luo Heaven for half a month and explaining everything that needed to be explained, Chen Xiao left the Great Luo Heaven Domain ahead of everyone else.

Bodhi and Mandala can be responsible for secretly pushing for the opening of the ancient heavenly palace. Chen Xiao's primary task at present is still to improve his strength.

Only by entering the ranks of Heavenly Sovereigns, after the opening of the Ancient Heavenly Palace, could he be absolutely certain of dealing with the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor without relying on others.

"Where are we going now?"

Qing Yanjing has been in a good mood lately, with a faint smile always on her pretty face.

Although the thin veil covered half of her face, her crescent-shaped eyes and the way her eyebrows curved already revealed her good mood.

At this moment, she looked up at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with curiosity, and asked softly.

"Are you really going to follow me around and abandon your own training?" Chen Xiao didn't answer, but instead asked this question, a hint of helplessness crossing his brows.

He never considered Qing Yanjing in the ancient Heavenly Palace's plan, but the girl seemed to have been greatly interested and had no intention of staying out of it.

"Given such an opportunity as the Ancient Heavenly Palace, there are probably very few people in the entire Great Thousand World who could remain indifferent. Since you were discussing this matter without me knowing, I am one of you and should naturally do my part. Furthermore, I also want to witness the birth of a Heavenly Sovereign powerhouse. This will surely be of great benefit to my future cultivation. Isn't this also a kind of experience?"

Qing Yanjing showed no intention of changing her mind, and her arguments were so logical and well-founded that no one could refute them.

Chen Xiao was speechless. He couldn't very well tell Qing Yanjing directly that the reason he hadn't discussed matters behind her back was simply because he felt she posed no threat, could he?

"Alright, you can come with me, but you can't act on your own."

Considering that Qing Yanjing was quite capable and could handle most troubles, and that she could also handle everyday chores, Chen Xiao was not so opposed to having a little tagalong with him.

"Okay." Qing Yanjing nodded without hesitation. "Now you can tell me where we're going, right?"

"I'm going to the Northern Cang Continent to retrieve something!" Chen Xiao said truthfully.

After careful consideration, Chen Xiao decided to set his sights on the lower plane of the White Dragon Supreme.

In comparison, although the Tianxuan Continent next to the Douqi Continent is closer, there is a promising talent there. If Chen Xiao goes to the Tianxuan Continent and defeats the Demon Emperor in advance, it will definitely have a significant impact on him.

Just like Xiao Yan in Dou Qi Continent, although he experienced fewer hardships on his path to growth, he still found it difficult to stand out as quickly as in the original story.

The lower plane of the White Dragon Supreme can be said to have been completely overrun and is in dire straits. If Chen Xiao goes there early, he can help the people in that plane to be freed more quickly.

In addition, there is another important reason: he has already interfered with Qing Yanjing, so Mu Chen will most likely have no chance to appear. In that case, why not take the Embryo of that plane?

The purpose of this trip to the Northern Cang Continent is to retrieve the White Dragon Spirit Pearl, which was left behind by the White Dragon Supreme and can be used to sense the White Dragon Plane.

Otherwise, even for a supreme being, it would be almost impossible to accurately locate a lower plane in the endless void.

"Northern Cang Continent—it seems I really will have to travel around for a while."

"If you find it boring, you can teach me how to set up a spirit array along the way. In exchange, I can teach you a transformation technique that will increase your combat power by at least two times without using a spirit array."

In this vast world, spirit array masters can be categorized from lowest to highest level as spirit array master, spirit array grandmaster, spirit array grandmaster, and spirit array great grandmaster.

Each stage is further subdivided.

Only those who reach the level of Spirit Array Master can pose a threat to Supreme Powerhouses, while Spirit Array Grandmasters correspond to Supreme Powerhouses.

As for Grandmasters, their status is no lower than that of Heavenly Sovereigns of the same level!

Qing Yanjing's skill in spirit arrays goes without saying; at such a young age, he is already a master of spirit arrays.

In contrast, although Chen Xiao had previously obtained a variant of the Spirit Array Master's inheritance, the grade of that inheritance was limited, at most reaching the level of a Spirit Array Master. Even if Chen Xiao now fully mastered it, his upper limit would only be the Heaven-grade Spirit Array Master.

This level of skill is sufficient in the Dou Qi Continent, but in the Great Thousand World, it seems rather insignificant.

Chen Xiao had originally planned to use the simulation of the real world to master all the professions in the Great Thousand Worlds when he had enough free time. Now that Qing Yanjing had appeared by his side, he could improve his spirit array skills ahead of time.

"Is it the same kind of supernatural power you used last time?" Qing Yanjing's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, as if stars were dancing in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, looking very interested.

In the last battle at Tianluo Valley, although Chen Xiao did not use the False World and True World techniques, he still made Qing Yanjing feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Imagine this: it was supposed to be a fair one-on-one match, but suddenly, the opponent's numbers suddenly multiplied to ten. How can you possibly win like that?

Having experienced that kind of oppression, Qing Yanjing found herself with the opportunity to learn, making it hard not to be tempted.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and said, "The cultivation technique I practice, which you call the spiritual technique, is called 'Nine Chapters of Frost Soul.' It can condense nine ice soul talismans within the body. You can regard them as nine external avatars. However, these external avatars can only exert 60% of the original body's strength."

"Later, I continued to improve this technique, so that it was no longer limited to people with the ice attribute. However, the number of external avatars that people with different attributes could condense after practicing it also varied."

"After entering the Great Thousand World, I had many ideas. I planned to separate this method of external avatars into a separate supernatural power. In this way, when I impart it to others, I would not need to make them cultivate the Nine Chapters of Cold Soul. I also want to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace to see the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. Perhaps it can give me a lot of inspiration."

"If you are willing, I can teach you cultivation after I finish this matter."

Although Chen Xiao was referring to a technique from several previous versions that retained many elements, it was still enough to greatly intrigue Qing Yanjing.

Without any hesitation, Qing Yanjing nodded in agreement.

"It's a deal!"

A small collaboration was thus happily concluded.

From that day on, the two began their journey towards the Northern Cang Continent.

During their journey, the two made choices wisely, neither delaying too much nor ignoring the wonders and scenic spots along the way in their haste. After each spatial teleportation, they would stay for several days to see the unfamiliar continent and discuss the art of spirit arrays.

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

Northern Cang Continent, White Dragon City.

Within a teleportation array, bursts of spiritual light suddenly appeared, and then figures emerged from it.

Among the dense crowd, a man and a woman stood out.

..

The man wore a moon-white robe, with handsome features, deep and sharp eyes, and a tall and straight posture, exuding a calm and composed demeanor.

The woman wore a long dress of the same color, but her face was covered by a thin veil, revealing only a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. As she walked, the jade tassels in her hair swayed gently, making her elegant and lively, with a remarkable demeanor.

This eye-catching combination immediately drew attention upon their arrival, yet no one could have imagined that they were two powerful Earthly Sovereigns at the Great Perfection stage!

I really can't even imagine it!

After all, compared to the supercontinent Tianluo Continent, the Northern Cang Continent can only be described as unremarkable.

Although White Dragon City is the largest city near White Dragon Hill in the Northern Cang Continent, its city lord is only a Transformation Realm expert.

Chen Xiao and Qing Yan stood there quietly, just like when two Dou Sheng powerhouses suddenly appeared in the Jia Ma Empire back in the Dou Qi Continent, which was beyond the comprehension of the locals.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, the two took a step forward and were already outside the city.

With no outsiders around, Qing Yanjing finally reverted to her true nature, chattering away as she asked questions.

"Chen Xiao, I've been thinking about this for a while now and have some new insights into the Cangyuan Annihilation Array. As usual, I'll demonstrate it for you to see where there's room for improvement."

As Qing Yanjing spoke, her slender hands prepared to form a hand seal.

However, Chen Xiao stopped him as soon as he made the gesture.

"Let's put the spirit array aside for now. We've arrived at our destination, so let's deal with the important matters first."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing reluctantly suppressed her anger.

In the past, Qing Yanjing was extremely confident, especially in the art of spirit arrays. She believed that she was exceptionally talented and no less capable than anyone else.

Even after suffering two setbacks at Chen Xiao's hands, she still felt that Chen Xiao was stronger than her, but there were also some aspects of her that Chen Xiao could not match.

That's why Qing Yanjing thoroughly enjoyed the first few days when Chen Xiao asked her about spirit arrays.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

Qing Yanjing quickly discovered that Chen Xiao's talent was terrifyingly extraordinary!

The spirit arrays she taught him, no matter how difficult, all seemed equally simple to Chen Xiao. Each time, he only needed to ponder for a moment, and then he could easily set them up perfectly.

Once, twice—

It's always the same!

Several times, Qing Yanjing couldn't help but suspect that Chen Xiao had already mastered those spirit arrays and was deliberately toying with her.

But Chen Xiao answered with utmost sincerity, admitting that he had absolutely not studied it!

He ascended from a lower plane; even if he wanted to learn before, he never had the opportunity.

That was the truth, and Qing Yanjing had no choice but to believe it.

In this way, Chen Xiao spent only three months emptying out all the spirit arrays that Qing Yanjing possessed.

In the following months, their positions quietly reversed, and Qing Yanjing became the one who diligently sought advice and benefited greatly.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what are we here to pick up?"

Upon arriving at her destination, Qing Yanjing finally remembered this question.

For the past six months, she had been so engrossed in exploring the art of spirit arrays that she had almost forgotten the purpose of her trip.

"A spiritual pearl—"

Chen Xiao didn't hide anything and directly revealed his plans, also telling her about the origins of the White Dragon Supreme.

"It turns out to be another powerful being who ascended from a lower plane. However, it seems that this White Dragon Supreme's luck was not very good. He perished before he could even break through to the Earth Supreme realm," Qing Yanjing said with some regret.

Those who ascend from lower planes possess immense potential, and among them are quite a few monsters.

Thinking this, Qing Yanjing couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiao.

This person is a monster among monsters!

Chen Xiao could guess Qing Yanjing's thoughts, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Different lower planes naturally have different upper limits, so we can't generalize. My situation is more special. Even those strong people who come from the same plane as me are very different from me. I'll tell you the specifics if I have the chance in the future."

In short, how can ordinary people compare to those who have extraordinary abilities?

For example, when it comes to spirit arrays, Chen Xiao doesn't think he has a better talent than Qing Yanjing.

The reason he was able to learn something at a glance was ultimately due to the illusion and reality he had created in his mind.

Qing Yanjing thought he only used a few breaths, but little did she know that in the fake world, Chen Xiao had practiced countless times and then directly retrieved the result.

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Qing Yanjing pursed her lips but did not refute them.

Although the more she got to know Chen Xiao, the more curious she became about him, the two had only known each other for a little over six months. They could only be considered friends, or at most good friends, and were far from sharing all their secrets.

"Let's go and see the White Dragon's Spiritual Treasury."

The so-called White Dragon Spiritual Treasury is actually the remnant of the White Dragon Supreme after its fall. In the Dou Qi Continent, it can also be called a relic.

The White Dragon Spirit Treasury is located on White Dragon Hill, the place where the White Dragon Supreme fell, hence its name.

Although White Dragon City is the largest city near White Dragon Hill, there is actually a considerable distance between the two in order to avoid being disturbed by the spirit beasts within White Dragon Hill.

Of course, this is relative.

With Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing's strength, what might take a low-level cultivator a day to travel, they could leisurely make in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"What's next? Which way should we go?" Qing Yanjing asked Chen Xiao as they landed on a mountain peak in White Dragon Hill.

The area of ​​White Dragon Hill is quite vast. Without a clear direction, even if they are Earthly Sovereigns at the Great Perfection stage, they would have to put in some effort to find the spiritual treasure.

"Follow me." Without saying much, Chen Xiao headed straight for the deepest part of White Dragon Hill.

Qing Yanjing followed closely behind.

Along the way, although there were some Heavenly-level spirit beasts, they all remained silent and dared not be presumptuous after sensing the slight spiritual pressure emanating from the two.

Soon, the two arrived at the deepest part of this vast mountain range.

Here, clouds and mist swirl, towering peaks reach for the sky, and enormous waterfalls cascade down, their thunderous roar echoing endlessly.

The waterfall crashes against the bluestone at the foot of the mountain, splashing up water droplets like shattered jade. The mountain wind sweeps the water into a misty fog, enveloping the entire valley. Sunlight then penetrates the clouds, refracting rainbows on the mist, creating a dreamlike scene.

The valley is filled with unknown exotic flowers and herbs, their colorful petals glistening with dewdrops. A gentle breeze carries their sweet fragrance, and just one breath makes you feel refreshed.

Looking at the scenery before her, Qing Yanjing's eyes shone brightly. She reached out and caught a petal that had been blown down by the wind, gently twirling it between her fingertips. Turning her head to look at Chen Xiao, who was intently observing his surroundings, she suddenly curved her eyebrows and spoke with a hint of mischief in her tone.

"Chen Xiao, you said the White Dragon Supreme chose such a good place to perish. Could it be that in his previous life, he was like you, preferring to find places with beautiful mountains and clear waters to rest?"

She paused, then shook the flower petals in her hand, a sly smile on her face: "Or perhaps he foresaw that uninvited guests like us would come to disturb him centuries later, and deliberately created this beautiful scene so that we would show mercy and not ransack his spiritual treasures?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao withdrew his gaze from the surrounding mountain mists and water vapors, fixing it on Qing Yanjing's crescent-shaped eyes. A barely perceptible smile played at the corners of his lips: "Why don't you go and ask the White Dragon Supreme for details?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Yanjing rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao playfully: "If I could find him, would I be wandering around here with you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to Chen Xiao, who seemed quite intelligent but often lacked romantic understanding. Her gaze fell on a clear spring cascading down the mountainside not far away, its water splashing like jade, crystal clear to the bottom.

On a whim, she walked straight over and gently removed her veil.

The moment the veil slipped down, a stunningly beautiful face was revealed without any concealment.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, her eyes like autumn waters rippling across the surface, her nose was straight and delicate, her lips were glossy and moist, and her skin was like solidified cream. A few strands of hair brushed against her cheeks as the mountain breeze blew, adding a touch of lively charm.

Completely unaware of Chen Xiao's gaze, she scooped up a handful of water, her slender fingertips glistening with droplets, and gently patted her cheeks. The cool touch instantly dispelled the slight gloom brought on by Chen Xiao's words, and her eyes crinkled into a smile, her mood becoming increasingly cheerful.

Chen Xiao stood still, his gaze fixed on the face that had suddenly appeared. This was the first time he had seen her true face since they had met, and he was momentarily stunned.

The Qing Yanjing of today has shed the composure of a spirit array master and the fierce edge of a supreme earthly expert. Playing and frolicking in the water, her eyes crinkling with laughter, she exudes only the radiance and liveliness of a young girl, dazzlingly pure.
