Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 496 Old Man Mu Gu

Before long, a stalactite-shaped fragment detached from the main body.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of intense light shot out from where the fragment had broken off.

The blinding light caused even Han Yue below to instinctively raise her arm.

As the massive stalactite was cut open, Xiao Yan finally saw the true Earth Core Tempering Milk.

It was a viscous, emerald-colored liquid suspended in the air, and this liquid seemed to possess a spirit.

It flows slowly within the stalactites, but its wandering range is just around the circle's opening, never exceeding a single line.

Taking out the jade spoon and jade bowl, Xiao Yan began to scoop out the Earth Core Tempering Milk.

Unlike the Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, Xiao Yan left nothing behind this time.

Although there is an unwritten rule in the world of alchemy that one should always leave room for maneuver, one should never cut off the source of rare and precious materials.

The formation of the Earth Core Tempering Milk is extremely difficult, and Xiao Yan did not leave a trace of it.

Because Canaan Academy is in a very special location, with the ancient Tuoshedi's cave dwelling beneath it, it is destined to face calamity in the future.

It wasn't that Xiao Yan was greedy, but even if he left it a trace, the stalactite wouldn't be able to withstand the residual power of the battle between so many powerful figures.

Rather than being destroyed silently, it is better to realize its full value now.

After cleaning himself up, Xiao Yan flashed to Han Yue's side: "This is the real Earth Core Tempering Milk."

Looking at the milky white liquid in the groove, and then at the object in Xiao Yan's hand, Han Yue was somewhat astonished by the dense energy emanating from it: "The difference between the two is actually so great!"

Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "With this Earth Core Tempering Milk, plus the fifth-order magic core of the Snow Demon Heavenly Ape, you will break through to the Dou Wang realm in just one or two days."

With the facts right before his eyes, Han Yue was finally able to confirm that Venerable Xiao Yan was indeed going to elevate her, and that she was about to enter the Dou Wang realm.

"Teacher Xiao Yan, I..." Han Yue didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although she had met Xiao Yan several times, this was probably the first time Xiao Yan had noticed her and given her such an opportunity!

Xiao Yan waved his hand: "Cultivation techniques, fighting skills, and cultivation resources—you've already been given the best of everything. Focus on your cultivation."

Han Yue nodded emphatically and followed in Xiao Yan's footsteps.

Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to add two more strange flames to the Endless Fire Domain, in the Tianxin Empire, located at the junction of the center and northwest of the Dou Qi Continent, there was a place called Tianzang Ravine, which was considered an extremely infamous and dangerous place in the Tianxin Empire.

Deep within the Heavenly Burial Ravine lies a vast valley surrounded by mountains. Within this valley stands a colossal black palace, hundreds of feet in size, resembling a crouching, primordial beast. In its gloom, a chilling and terrifying aura permeates the air.

This is the Soul Palace branch hall that Iron Protector mentioned earlier.

Deep within the black palace lies a vast plaza, upon which towering black stone pillars, hundreds of feet high, stand reaching for the sky.

The stone pillars were covered with countless eerie runes, and jet-black chains extended from them, crisscrossing and outlining the sky above the plaza. At the ends of these chains floated faint orbs of light, within which were souls with pained expressions and ethereal bodies.

In the center of this square is a platform about ten feet above the ground. Around the platform stand four huge stone pillars, and four thick black chains, like pythons, meander down.

Suddenly, the space within the eerie hall began to fluctuate, and an old man dressed in black appeared out of nowhere.

Looking at the gloomy hall, Elder Mu Gu could not hide a trace of anger in his eyes.

As a Dou Zun powerhouse and an eighth-grade alchemist, he has always been highly valued by the Palace Master.

Traveling in this region bordering the Northwest and Central Plains, the title of Elder of the Soul Hall is mostly nominal, as he has not been required to take on any real responsibilities in the past.

Compared to the specific affairs of the Soul Palace, searching for different flames in the Northwest region was far more important to him, an eighth-grade alchemist.

If the Soul Palace could have another alchemist with a different kind of fire, it would be of even greater value to the Soul Palace.

Being closer to the Central Plains region would also allow him to quickly gather important information from there.

Once an important mission is assigned, the Soul Palace can naturally be notified in a short time.

However, due to the fall of Elder Nan Gui, there is a shortage of manpower in the Northwest region, which forces him to come and carry out the mission.

Shortly after Elder Mugu appeared, the space trembled violently.

"Although the Northwest Continent does not have as many powerful figures as the Central Plains, that was before the Soul Palace came here."

"The Northwest region is teeming with sects and empires, and they are constantly in conflict. Although some powerful forces have tried to unify the region, they have never been able to achieve it."

Looking at the group of powerful figures who were able to directly enter the Soul Palace, Elder Mu Gu took a closer look at the blond middle-aged man at the head of the group, and his expression changed.

"The sect leader of the Lion Nether Sect, Lion Heaven." Upon hearing the man's name, Elder Mu Gu immediately realized that these people were no ordinary individuals.

Although the Lion Nether Sect was originally quite powerful in the Northwest Continent, ranking only in the top ten, it had long been a member of the Soul Palace.

This is an absolute secret, something that the elders of the Soul Palace would never know. Only someone as powerful as him, who is also an eighth-grade alchemist, could possibly understand it.

The moment Lion Sky and his men appeared, an old man in black robes emerged, his sinister face perfectly matching the environment of the Soul Palace.

"Nine Heavens Venerable, you actually came too." Seeing this rather familiar face, Elder Mu Gu said in astonishment.

The Nine Heavens Venerable said, "The Xiao Clan has already shown their faces, and even killed one of my Soul Palace elders. It's time for someone to take charge of the situation."

Lion Heaven said, "Originally, my Lion Nether Sect should have remained dormant for a while longer. However, recently, with the help of the Soul Palace, the sect's experts have made breakthroughs. Even without stabilizing their realms, they are not something that the forces in the Northwest region can withstand."

Elder Mugu nodded slightly; it turned out the plan had been brought forward.

Nine Heavens Venerable chuckled: "This time, there are many powerful figures, and the Soul Palace has a great advantage. In one battle, we will take over the entire Northwest region and deal with the remnants of the Xiao Clan. It will be a piece of cake."

Elder Mu Gu laughed in agreement. Indeed, with the strength of these powerful individuals, they would be a formidable force even in the Central Plains region.

He should also actively seek opportunities in the Black Corner region.

The effects of his good junior disciple Han Feng's cultivation of the incomplete Burning Technique, combined with the Sea Heart Flame, are both extremely strange.

Now that he has been missing for quite some time, Elder Mu Gu has long wanted to investigate...
