Battle Through the Heavens: Exceptional Comprehension, Becomes Emperor at Ten Years Old

Chapter 235 Entering the Cave and Refining the Emperor-Grade Embryo Pill!

When Jiahe looked at Elder Su Qian, he smiled and said, "It seems that Elder Su Qian's strength has increased quite a bit over the years!"

Now, when they met Elder Su Qian again, he was already at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zong realm.

Not only Elder Su Qian, but also Dean Hu Qian of the Outer Court, has now become a five-star Dou Zong. Most of the outer court elders have also advanced to become Dou Wang or Dou Huang level experts!

The two elders, the strongest in the inner courtyard, are already three-star Dou Zun experts. It can be said that in the past, Canaan Academy was undoubtedly the number one power in the Northwest Continent!

Upon hearing this, Elder Su Qian shook his head and smiled, "This is all thanks to the Imperial Prison. If it weren't for the strong support the Imperial Prison has given to Canaan Academy, the academy's strength would not have grown so rapidly."

Jiahe said, "It can be considered a mutual benefit, after all, the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower of Canaan Academy will also be used by the disciples of the Imperial Prison."

Speaking of this, Elder Su Qian looked at Jia He and said, "In recent years, the Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower has grown exceptionally fast. If it weren't for the fact that the academy could still control it, and that this newborn Fallen Heart Flame wasn't docile, we wouldn't have gone to Central State for help!"

Gah raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Oh? It seems that the magma underground provided a great environment for the Fallen Heart Flame to grow."

"Let's go in and take a look!" Gahe said.

The group then entered the inner courtyard of Canaan Academy, which was quite different from the Canaan Academy of the past.

The area is several times larger, and there are many more disciples in the academy, including students at the Dou Ling and even Dou Wang realms.

Mang Qianchi was also surprised: "This is much stronger than when I left the academy. Su Qian, you've really been a great help all these years!"

When Mang Qianchi established Canaan Academy, it was actually just something he did on a whim. After all, Mang Qianchi had been traveling all over the Dou Qi Continent, and the Northwest Continent was just a place where he stayed for a period of time.

After establishing Canaan Academy, Mang Qianchi basically never returned, only having brief correspondence with Su Qian.

Elder Su Qian chuckled and said, "It's not too troublesome. Although the Black Corner Region was somewhat chaotic before, Canaan Academy can protect itself here without any problem!"

"Moreover, all these years, Elder Qian and Elder Bai have stayed at the academy."

The two elders, Qianbai and Erlao, did go to Zhongzhou earlier, but they returned not long afterward. They felt that they could cultivate in peace within the academy!

As they talked, they arrived outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

A notice has been issued within the academy today prohibiting entry into the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, so the tower gates are currently closed.

Jiahe looked at the three clan leaders, including Gu Yuan, and said, "The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave is located beneath this Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower. There is a magma barrier underground, so if we want to enter, we all need to be at least at the Dou Zun level."

"Therefore, I suggest that we have the elders at the Dou Sheng level or above come with us. The rest can wait upstairs; there's no point in them going down!"

Lei Ying and Yan Jin nodded and said, "We'll do whatever you say."

Gu Yuan then asked, "Is there anything else we need to do?"

Jiahe shook his head and said, "No need, these people are enough. The main thing is that Ziyan needs to come with us."

Elder Su Qian opened the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, and Jiahe and the others headed down into the earth, soon arriving at the boundary between the underground magma and the underground.

"Alright, when you follow me down there, you might encounter some tomb-guarding lizardmen. They're not very strong; just intimidate them, don't kill them," Gahe reminded them one last time.

Immediately, a powerful flame rose up around Gahe, and he swept down into the lava.

Zi Yan followed behind Jia He, while Gu Yuan and the others followed closely behind.

Crimson lava swept past them, and soon they encountered the underground fire lizardmen that Gahe had mentioned.

The strongest of these lizardmen was only a half-saint. Faced with this group of six- or seven-star Dou Sheng, and even the two leaders who were nine-star Dou Sheng, they dared not make the slightest move.

Before long, Jiahe and the others arrived at the massive Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave deep underground.

In the darkness, a Primordial Dragon, exuding a wild and powerful aura, opened its eyes once more.

His dragon eyes held a scrutinizing gaze, but softened instantly upon seeing Zi Yan.

When Gu Yuan saw Zhu Kun, a sense of danger suddenly rose in his heart, not to mention Lei Ying and Yan Jin.

"Senior Zhukun, today is the time to open the cave of Emperor Tuoshe!" Jiahe said to Zhukun.

Upon hearing Jiahe's words, Zhukun's eyes lit up with immense joy: "Really?"

Seeing Jiahe slowly nod, Zhukun immediately raised his head and roared angrily, "I can finally leave this hellhole! Tuoshegu Emperor, you have imprisoned me for thousands of years, and finally you will be released!"

As he spoke, Zhu Kun's voice still betrayed a hint of excitement.

"What? You're still thinking about the inheritance inside the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave?" A faint, cold voice came, causing Zhu Kun, who had been somewhat excited, to immediately deflate.

Zhu Kun looked at Zi Yan, whose pretty face was somewhat cold, and said in a somewhat ingratiating tone, "No, no, my dear daughter, I will definitely not covet the inheritance of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave again. That thing is extremely harmful, I will absolutely never touch it again!"

Zi Yan's icy expression softened slightly, and she then looked at Jia He and said, "After the cave is opened, I'll have my father help you obtain the inheritance!"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Jia He chuckled softly and said, "Then thank you. However, I might not be suitable for the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, so I only need one of the Emperor Pills!"

As he spoke, Jiahe reached out and gently ruffled Ziyan's beautiful hair.

Zi Yan pouted, then glanced at Zhu Kun and said, "Alright, let's open the cave first."

Jiahe nodded slightly, then took out eight pieces of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, his palm surging with battle qi, and merged the pieces of ancient jade into one.

In an instant, a wild and untamed aura emanated from the ancient jade, and a powerful beam of light shot straight toward the entrance of the ancient emperor's cave.

hum!

The gate to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave suddenly stirred slightly.

The ancient gate began to slowly creak, and cracks began to appear.

Soon, the ancient gate of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave was opened, and an extremely strong wave swept out from behind the stone gate.

Gu Yuan and the others attacked together, their immense energy colliding with the attack, dissolving it, and then annihilating it.

Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and the elders of the three clans standing to the side were all inwardly turbulent. Even they felt a sense of oppression from this powerful fluctuation.

"Luckily, no one else came, otherwise we would have been in trouble!" Lei Ying cursed under his breath.

boom!

As the ancient gate was fully opened, a primordial surge of energy erupted forth, sweeping across the surrounding area.

Gah frowned and said, "Let's attack together. If this fluctuation continues, the space below will definitely collapse, and the entire Black Corner Region will be submerged in magma!"

At that moment, Zhu Kun's enormous dragon body also began to change. A flash of purple-gold light appeared, and the huge ancient dragon of the Void transformed into the figure of a middle-aged man with purple-gold hair.

This was the first time Zi Yan had met her father, and she was momentarily stunned.

However, the fluctuations emanating from within the cave quickly brought her back to her senses, and she said to Zhu Kun, "Let's attack together!"

Zhu Kun doted on his precious daughter, and immediately followed behind Jia He and the others to take action.

Two terrifying forces collided in the void. The elders, whose strength was slightly lower and who had just entered the Dou Sheng realm, were immediately thrown away by a tremendous force.

Fortunately, with the full force of the three nine-star Dou Sheng, the fluctuations eventually dissipated.

"Let's go, let's go inside the cave and take a look!" Jiahe said, and his figure shot into the cave.

The group followed Jiahe and entered the cave.

The mist enveloped this strange space, and the entire space was silent, as if it had been dormant for thousands of years.

The space above suddenly distorted, and then figures appeared one after another.

Jiahe surveyed the interior of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave. There was a soul suppression here, which should be a method left behind by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor.

Even the souls of Emperor Realm beings are restricted here.

Zhu Kun then spoke up, "I do know something about this cave dwelling. Please follow me!"

Soon, led by Zhu Kun, they raced across the vast land.

Ten minutes later, a huge ancient stone palace appeared before everyone, and firelight could be faintly seen flickering inside.

"That's... the Strange Fire Plaza?" Gahe's gaze fell on the enormous plaza in front of the stone hall.

The square was extremely vast, but within it stood twenty-three stone pillars, and at the top of each pillar, a deep yellow flame flickered slowly.

That was the strange fire placed here by Emperor Tuoshe, the Xuanhuang Flame, ranked twenty-third on the Strange Fire List.

However, after so many years, the aura of the Xuanhuang Flame has long since withered and died. Without the absorption of fire attribute energy, it is like a lamp that has gone out when a person is exhausted.

The strange flames atop the towering stone pillar also shocked everyone present.

The Yan Clan members' eyes burned with fervor. These were genuine exotic flames, and although they were now extremely weak, the Yan Clan had a way to restore them.

"This, this strange fire?" Yan Jin looked at the pale yellow flame in disbelief.

Zhu Kun glanced back casually, then said, "Don't be so surprised, there's more to come!"

Having said that, it once again sped forward, the misty aura gradually dissipating, revealing that each of the towering stone pillars had a strange flame on it.

Twenty-two: The Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts

Twenty-first: Yin-Yang Twin Flames

...

Fifth: The Flame of Life

Fourth: Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame!

Unfortunately, under the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, the last three stone pillars did not emit any strange flames.

They felt some regret and a little pity.

Even the legendary Emperor Tuoshe could not gather all the different flames.

At this moment, Jiahe said, "The top three flames on the Strange Flame Ranking weren't failed to be collected by Emperor Tuoshe; they simply escaped!"

Gu Yuan and the others were immediately taken aback, and looked at Jia He with some surprise, asking, "They escaped? What do you mean?"

Jiahe said, "The Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which was imprisoned in the Central Plains Demon Flame Plains, and the Void Devouring Flame of the Soul Clan, were originally from here, but they escaped from here later!"

"As for the number one spot on the Strange Flame Ranking, it doesn't belong to any other Strange Flame, but to the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe himself. He is the number one Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, the Emperor Flame!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Gahe's powerful aura instantly dispelled the surrounding mist, and a stone statue ten thousand feet tall appeared before everyone.

This stone statue is of an old man, the owner of this cave, Tuoshegudi!

The stone statue exuded a terrifying aura as if it were ruling over the world, and it surged towards the crowd in an instant. Those who were slightly weaker felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them and immediately knelt down!

"Look, are those martial arts techniques and combat skills?" Fire Spirit Fairy shouted, pointing around the stone statue.

As everyone looked over, they saw numerous orbs of light dancing around the stone statue, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"My God, there are hundreds of Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills that are extremely rare in the outside world here?" Lei Ying said in disbelief and shock.

"How long has it been since this space, silent for millennia, has been this lively!"

A sudden, aged voice rang out within the cave, sending chills down everyone's spines.

This was, after all, the cave dwelling of Emperor Tuoshe, and the sudden appearance of such a weathered voice was indeed frightening.

Gah narrowed his eyes and looked toward the shoulder of the towering stone statue, where a figure stood, identical to the ancient emperor Tuoshe!

"The ancient emperor isn't dead?" Lei Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun also became secretly on guard, as they had no idea what was going on!

Jiahe smiled calmly and said, "Don't be afraid, this guy is the Emperor-grade embryonic core inside the cave!"

"A nascent Emperor-grade pill?" Gu Yuan was slightly taken aback, while Yan Jin's eyes widened as he saw a pill that could exude such terrifying power for the first time.

Even though Yan Jin and Lei Ying were both eight-star Dou Sheng, they couldn't help but kneel down when they saw this Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

Lei Ying spat and said, "We were almost fooled by this thing. It seems it's trying to intimidate us by borrowing the power of Emperor Tuoshe!"

When the young Emperor-grade cultivator realized that his identity had been exposed in an instant, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Who are you?" Dipin Chudan stared intently at Jiahe.

Then, the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator said, "You have the aura of Void Devouring Flame on your body, but where is the others? Are they afraid to come out and see me?"

Faced with the questioning from the nascent Emperor-grade Core Formation expert, Jiahe simply smiled and said, "You want to see the Void Devouring Flame? I can help you!"

"No thanks, you're too dangerous!" said the Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator, frowning.

Jiahe said to Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, "Let's go together, taking this guy down is going to be a bit troublesome!"

After saying that, the three nine-star Dou Sheng attacked simultaneously without any hesitation!

"You're not worthy to capture me!" The Emperor-grade Nascent Soul cultivator sneered, flicking his finger, and a monstrous energy surge rushed towards Jiahe and the other two.

A chilling energy fluctuation spread outwards, and Yan Jin, standing beside Lei Ying, teased, "Just now someone said that this Emperor-grade embryonic pill was borrowing the power of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe?"

Lei Ying's expression was also somewhat embarrassed. He swallowed hard and said, "Who knew this Emperor-grade embryonic pill was so terrifying? All I knew was how to play tricks!"

Rumbling sounds echoed continuously from within the cave, as both sides launched attacks with earth-shattering energy, resulting in a stalemate.

With a single Emperor-grade Nascent Soul Palm strike, he repelled Jiahe and his two companions, his face contorted with sarcasm. "Is this the strongest being on the continent right now?"

Zhu Kun and Gu Yuan turned pale, but Jia He suddenly realized that since this Emperor-grade embryonic pill was a pill, it must also be refined.

In the original work, it seems that Void Devouring Flame also used the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Pill Transformation Divine Technique to obtain the Emperor-grade embryonic pill!

"You did borrow some of the power of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe after all. Since I can open the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe's cave, I can naturally take you in!" Jiahe said coldly, and then took out the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe jade from his arms.

A burst of flame erupted from Gahe's palm as the Great Crimson Emperor Technique was activated, sending streaks of flame sweeping outwards and instantly enveloping the surrounding area.

"Since the ancient emperor Tuoshe left behind a nascent imperial-grade pill, then today I will bestow upon you a great opportunity to become a true imperial-grade pill!" Jiahe said coldly.

Immediately, they saw Jiahe sit down cross-legged, and the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade gradually floated up, corresponding to the stone statue from afar. In an instant, a powerful pressure came over.

This overwhelming pressure from the Dou Di suppressed the nascent Emperor-grade core that was enveloped in flames!
