Battle Through the Heavens: He possesses extraordinary comprehension and is born a Battle Emperor!

Chapter 90 Stealing Herbs.

"We're here, this is it."

Xiao Chong stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary stone house, reached out and gently touched the wall. A complex rune gradually appeared, and with a slight click, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a faint light.

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, and she eagerly pulled Xiao Chong's hand into the secret room.

Inside the sealed room, all sorts of bottles were neatly arranged, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance that invigorated the spirit.

"Wow, so many pills! Brother Xiao Chong, we're rich!" Zi Yan excitedly moved back and forth, curiously opening each bottle to smell it.

"Zi Yan, don't move around. We're here to find a pill that can help you break through your bottleneck, not to steal it."

Although Xiao Chong's tone was stern, his eyes remained gentle. He began to carefully select, and relying on his extensive knowledge of pharmacology, he finally chose a pill that gleamed with a warm luster.

"This 'Spirit Aperture Pill' is perfect for your current condition. It can help you widen your meridians and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy." Xiao Chong handed over the pill, while reminding him, "Remember, you must concentrate and calm your mind before taking it, otherwise the medicinal effects will backfire and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zi Yan nodded solemnly, carefully took the pill, closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing as instructed by Xiao Chong, and slowly put the pill into her mouth. After a moment, a warm current rose from her dantian and flowed through her limbs, causing her to involuntarily let out a soft moan of extreme comfort.

"How are you feeling?" Xiao Chong asked with concern.

Zi Yan opened her eyes, her face radiant with unprecedented light: "How amazing! I can feel the spiritual energy within my body is more active now. Brother Xiao Chong, thank you!"

Just then, a faint noise came from outside the door. The two exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding washing over them. Zi Yan tugged at Xiao Chong's sleeve and whispered urgently:

"Oh no, someone's coming! We have to get out of here!"

Xiao Chong quickly restored everything to its original state, then led Zi Yan away along the secret passage they had come from, leaving behind a room filled with the fragrance of medicine and an unfinished story.

"Brother Xiao Chong, that was really close. What if we had been discovered..." Zi Yan was still panting, but her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

Xiao Chong smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes: "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen. However, you can't be so reckless next time."

"Hmm, I understand. Hey, tell me, how many secrets does Canaan Academy still hold that we haven't explored yet?" Zi Yan looked up at the starry sky, her eyes sparkling with longing for the unknown.

Xiao Chong gently stroked his chin, his gaze deep and penetrating, as if he could see into the long river of history, and slowly said:

"Canaan Academy boasts a long history and profound heritage. Its secrets are as numerous as the stars, each containing boundless wisdom and power. What you know now is merely the tip of the iceberg. However…"

He abruptly changed the subject, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"Telling you won't hurt. Deep within the Canaan Library, there is said to be an ancient book that records the cultivation methods of powerful beings from ancient times, enough to allow one to ascend to the heavens in one step."

Zi Yan's eyes lit up, her small hands clenched into fists, her excitement overflowing: "Really? When are we going to explore?"

"Don't rush, that book isn't so easy to get."

Xiao Chong waved his hand, a serious glint in his eyes.

"To access that legacy, you must pass the Canaan Trials and prove you are qualified. Moreover, it is said that the guardian of that book is an existence that even I dare not easily provoke now."

Zi Yan pouted, looking somewhat unconvinced: "Hmph, in the end, you still look down on me. Don't worry, one day I'll make you look at me with new eyes!"

Under the moonlight, their shadows stretched long, creating a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence. A student ran in, looking flustered, and shouted breathlessly, "Something terrible has happened! Something's happened in the library!"

Xiao Chong frowned and immediately said seriously, "What happened? Tell me in detail."

"It was... a huge figure of light appeared in the library, and the entire outer courtyard could feel an ancient and powerful fluctuation. Many elders rushed over!"

The student said breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's eyes sparkled, and she tugged at Xiao Chong's arm: "What are we waiting for? Let's go take a look!"

Xiao Chong nodded, and the two of them moved, transforming into two streaks of light and heading straight for the library.

On the way, Zi Yan couldn't help but ask, "What do you think that light and shadow was? Could it be related to that ancient book?"

"Very likely," Xiao Chong pondered. "The secrets of Canaan are far more complex than we imagine. This incident may be the opportunity to unveil its mysteries."

A moment later, the two arrived at the library, where they saw many people gathered, including students and elders, discussing the matter.

In the center of the library, a dazzling portal appeared out of thin air, exuding an ancient and weathered aura that drew gasps of amazement from everyone present.

"This...where does this door lead?" Zi Yan stared in disbelief.

Xiao Chong's eyes shone brightly, and his tone was firm: "No matter where it leads, now that we've appeared, we can't miss it. The secret of Canaan Academy may be hidden behind that door."

Just as everyone hesitated, Xiao Chong strode forward, with Zi Yan following closely behind, stepping into the radiance.

Inside the gate was a vast and boundless void, with countless stars swirling around, and an irresistible force guiding them forward.

Zi Yan looked up at the dazzling Milky Way, her eyes sparkling with childlike curiosity and amazement.

"Brother Chong, where exactly is this place? Why are there so many stars, as if they could be touched?" Her voice echoed in the void, carrying a hint of disbelief.

Xiao Chong frowned slightly and looked around. The scene here was beyond his comprehension.

"I don't know either. Canaan Academy has a vast collection of books, but it doesn't mention this place. But since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Perhaps we can find some clues here."

His words revealed an indomitable will, a determination that seemed to pierce the stars and give Zi Yan confidence.

They strode through the void, each step seemingly traversing an endless universe, with stars slowly shifting beneath their feet, creating magnificent scenes.

Suddenly, a shooting star streaked across the sky and fell toward them, but just before it touched them, it transformed into a beam of light, revealing the image of an old man holding a star map.

"Welcome to the Star Realm, young traveler."

The old man's voice was ancient and distant, as if it came from the end of time.

"I am the guardian of this realm. Your ability to arrive here proves that you have an inextricable connection with the stars."

Zi Yan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is he really Grandpa Star? Can you tell us how to get back to Canaan Academy?" Her directness brought a gentle smile to Chaos's face.
