Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Xiao Family Back Mountain —

A mysterious figure draped in a wide black robe appeared at the foot of a mountain wall.

He stood in the shadow of a huge rock, the pale white aura surrounding him slowly receding and dissipating.

He raised his right hand and gently pulled off the black robe and hood that covered his face.

The moonlight, like clear flowing water, was cascading down, illuminating a young and handsome face. This person was none other than Xiao Qing!

However, Xiao Qing at this moment was completely different from his usual self. His medium-length hair had turned into a cold, pale white, like snow that never melts.

Those deep eyes were no longer the usual pitch black, but instead burned with two wisps of icy white flames, filled with a cold and majestic light.

The aura emanating from his entire body carried an ancient and powerful presence, a stark contrast to Xiao Qing's youthful appearance.

That's right, the "elder alchemist" who seemed unfathomable in front of Xiao Zhan just now was Xiao Qing, whose body was temporarily controlled by Yao Lao's soul power!

The possession technique used by Yao Lao was the soul possession technique that was jokingly called "Heavenly Rank Fighting Skill - Ghost Possession!" in the original work.

At this moment, the old man's mission was completed, and his soul power was gradually fading away, returning control of his body to Xiao Qing, his master.

The cold, pale hair was visibly turning back to jet black, and the eerie white flames dancing in her eyes were gradually extinguishing, returning to her clear black pupils.

The terrifyingly powerful pressure emanating from him dissipated, and Xiao Qing's own Dou Shi-level aura reappeared.

Although the body was mainly under the control of the old doctor, Xiao Qing's soul, as the true owner of this body, clearly perceived everything throughout the entire process.

Xiao Qing experienced more clearly and intuitively than ever before how vast and terrifying the power that had temporarily been drawn out and was residing in his body was!

It was an absolute sense of power, as if one could draw upon the energy of heaven and earth with a mere gesture, and cause mountains and rivers to collapse with a wave of the sleeve!

Every inch of flesh and blood, every meridian, surges with unimaginable, boundless energy. The soul's perception is amplified to an incredible degree, as if with a thought, one can perceive the slightest movement within a radius of nearly a hundred miles.

That power transcended words and was deeply imprinted on Xiao Qing's soul.

"Is this... the power of a peak Douhuang?" Xiao Qing slowly clenched his fist, feeling the slight emptiness brought about by the dissipation of power within his body, but there was no disappointment in his eyes, instead, an extremely scorching light burst forth.

"As expected...it's terrifying!"

This brief experience was like a magical key, not only opening a door to another world for Xiao Qing, but also allowing him to glimpse the scenery from a higher vantage point.

This did not frustrate Xiao Qing in the slightest; on the contrary, it ignited his desire and ambition to become stronger!

"I believe that day will come soon!" Xiao Qing stared at his palm, his eyes unwavering. A voice within him cried out, "With my unparalleled talent and my teacher's guidance, I believe it won't be long before I, Xiao Qing, truly possess this level of power! Even... stronger!"

Under the night sky, the young man stood still. Having just shed his powerful persona, Xiao Qing's eyes were sharper than ever, filled with boundless anticipation for the future and soaring fighting spirit.

Tonight's experience is like a spark that has fallen into the dry wood that Xiao Qing had already prepared, and it will surely ignite a raging inferno.

Two weeks later—

Half a month passed quickly, and a positive and uplifting atmosphere of cultivation permeated the Xiao family.

The family's combat skills pavilion is once again open to young disciples who have not yet practiced combat skills.

Although most of the collected items are low- and mid-level Yellow Rank fighting techniques.

But for these young men and women, most of whom are still in the stage of fighting spirit, it is already a great blessing and a valuable resource.

Even for those disciples who have just stepped into the Dou Zhe realm, mastering a Yellow-rank Dou Technique can give them a qualitative leap in their combat ability.

After all, compared to fighting bare-handed, relying solely on one's own martial arts skills, or blindly charging in with fighting spirit, mastering fighting techniques and condensing greater power will result in a completely different level of effectiveness.

On the family's martial arts training ground, Xiao Zhan was walking slowly, a smile on his face that hadn't been seen for a long time, and the gloom that had accumulated between his brows was gone, completely swept away.

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

"Greetings, Chieftain!"

"Chieftain, you've emerged from seclusion?"

Groups of Xiao family members passed by Xiao Zhan, greeting him respectfully with heartfelt words of respect.

These past few days, Xiao Zhan has been in a very good mood, so he nodded repeatedly in response to the group of young people, and his gaze swept gently over these future hopes of their families.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan was full of energy and had a rosy complexion. Compared with a month ago, the anxious, haggard, and sleepless clan leader seemed like a completely different person.

All these changes stemmed from the mysterious "gift" that night!

The day after Xiao Zhan received the pill, he couldn't wait to give the Three-Pattern Strengthening Pill to his wife, Yan Qian, to take.

The effects of this elixir are beyond imagination!

Not only did it quickly replenish her vital energy that she had lost over the years, but it also gradually healed some minor ailments she had developed from giving birth to Xiao Yan.

What's even more surprising is that Yan Qian's pale cheeks regained their rosy glow, making her look several years younger and full of energy.

This unexpected "rejuvenating" effect surprised and delighted Yan Qian, who was amazed and curious about the origin of the elixir.

Although Xiao Zhan was extremely grateful to Xiao Qing and her teacher, he had no choice but to fabricate a white lie to keep it a secret...

He told Yan Qian that he had used his father Xiao Lin's old connections and spent a huge amount of money to purchase it from a reclusive alchemist.

Yan Qian had no suspicions; she simply held her husband's hand, her eyes filled with tears, but also with relief and happiness.

After properly arranging family affairs, Xiao Zhan immediately announced that he would go into seclusion.

Xiao Zhan chose an extremely secluded place for his seclusion, where he would not be disturbed.

Inside the secret chamber, Xiao Zhan took the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill and the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill in turn.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, its rich yet gentle medicinal power surging like a river, helping Xiao Zhan break through continuously with almost no hindrance, his cultivation soaring all the way to the peak of the Great Dou Master!

Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, Xiao Zhan did not hesitate at all. He seized the opportunity and took out the even more precious Cleansing Spirit Pill.

This pill truly lives up to its name. After taking it, it not only brings a massive amount of pure energy, but also a miraculous power to cleanse the marrow and bones, flowing throughout the body and completely clearing away the last remaining blockages and impurities in Xiao Zhan's meridians.

Driven by the powerful medicinal force, the Spirit Barrier that had trapped countless Great Battle Masters for their entire lives was easily pierced, like a window paper!

Successfully advanced to the Battle Spirit realm!

In just half a month of seclusion, Xiao Zhan actually jumped from a five-star Great Dou Master to a true one-star Dou Ling powerhouse!

This leap is nothing short of a miracle!

However, Xiao Zhan was not overwhelmed by the immense power after emerging from seclusion.

Xiao Zhan knew that it was too shocking for a five-star Great Dou Master to directly advance to Dou Ling in half a month. Once it got out, it would bring endless scrutiny and trouble to the Xiao family.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan tried his best to conceal his aura. Relying on his newly promoted Dou Ling level and his more refined control over his own power, he hid most of the fluctuations at the Dou Ling level, only revealing his cultivation level of around six-star Great Dou Shi.

In this way, Xiao Zhan's "seclusion" results seem much more "reasonable"—breaking through from a five-star Great Dou Master to a six-star one.

Although the progress is rapid, it is still within an understandable range and will not attract too much attention.

At this moment, walking among his clan members, feeling the surging Dou Ling level Dou Qi within his body, seeing the vibrant faces of his clansmen, and his beloved wife's ever-growing health, Xiao Zhan's heart was filled with confidence and anticipation for the future.

The Xiao family is developing in a better direction, and all of this turning point comes from the young man who may be diligently cultivating in the back mountain at this moment.
