Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

On the other side, in Sunset Forest, at the Clayth Academy camp.

When Qian Xunji led Qian San through the woods and returned to the camp, a surge of thunderous energy filled the entire open space.

Qian Xunji looked up and saw Xiao Qing sitting cross-legged in the center of the camp, her eyes closed. Not far in front of her, there lay a long, slender dragon corpse covered in dark purple scales.

Although this dragon-shaped soul beast had already lost its life force, fine purple arcs of electricity still crackled on the surface of its crystal-clear amethyst scales, emanating a pure dragon aura.

Huang Tian, ​​who had been guarding the edge of the camp, slowly walked over when he saw Qian Xunji return.

"This is a Thunder Dragon with 26,000 years of cultivation. This little girl has a good dragon bloodline and a fiery personality. This pure-blooded dragon with the lightning attribute is a perfect match for her in terms of both age and attribute."

Qian Xunji looked at the thunder dragon's corpse on the ground and laughed to himself, "It's a good thing this isn't the [Inner Realm], Huang Tian can kill without any scruples."

"You're very thoughtful." Qian Xunji nodded.

Huang Tian's lips curled up slightly, and without saying anything more, he turned and stepped aside.

Qian San didn't make a sound to disturb her. He slowly walked to a short distance from Xiao Qing, stood silently, and protected her.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

The raging lightning around Xiaoqing gradually receded inward, eventually transforming into a black spirit ring that steadily encircled her body, complementing the four spirit rings in front of her.

"call--"

Xiaoqing exhaled a long breath and opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that everyone in the entire camp, including Franya, Niu Lanjun and others, was staring intently at her.

After all, a fifth soul ring that is 26,000 years old—such cross-level absorption is enough to make them envious.

Under everyone's direct gaze, Xiaoqing's newly broken-through aura instantly crumbled. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she stood up somewhat embarrassedly, subconsciously taking two steps toward Qian San beside her, gently rubbing her shoulder against Qian San's arm to hide her awkwardness.

"Um... thank you all for protecting me all this time." Xiaoqing clasped her hands together and bowed deeply to everyone.

Franya smiled and waved her hand: "Silly girl, we're all on the same side, no need to be so polite. Your successful absorption of such a spirit ring is the pride of our entire team."

Qian Xunji stood aside, looking at the group of energetic children, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright, now that you've all acquired your spirit rings, this matter is settled, and it's time to come to an end." Qian Xunji stepped forward, looking at everyone with gentle eyes.

He raised his hand and imprinted a hidden golden angel mark into the palms of Qian San and Xiao Qing respectively.

"This is my spiritual imprint," Qianxunji instructed.

"If you encounter an insurmountable crisis during your future trials, crush it immediately, and I will arrive as soon as possible. In addition, you can contact me through this mark if you have any other matters."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, senior!"

Qian Xunji nodded, and finally fixed his gaze on Qian San, his eyes revealing deep expectations for his son.

"Mistress, you'll have to walk your own path from now on. Be careful in everything you do. I'm leaving now."

Qian San straightened his back. "Father, please be careful! I, Xiao San, will live up to your expectations!"

Hearing his son's assurance, Qian Xunji smiled. He trusted Qian San's abilities quite a bit. Without saying anything more, he turned to look at Huang Tian beside him. The two nodded in unison.

The next second, Huang Tian raised his hand and made a gesture, and Qian Xunji and Huang Tian stepped into the spatial passage side by side. As the spatial passage quickly closed, their auras completely disappeared from Sunset Forest.

Franya withdrew her gaze, glanced at the group of people who had regained their fighting spirit, clapped her hands, and drew everyone's attention back to her.

"Alright, now that the senior has left, we should head back as well."

"During this trip to Sunset Forest, you all successfully acquired spirit rings, greatly increasing your strength. But remember, do not become arrogant or complacent. The Continental Elite Spirit Master Academy Tournament is approaching, so once we return, everyone must train diligently and work together effectively. No one is allowed to let me down in this tournament!"

"yes!"

Qian San, Xiao Qing, Niu Lanjun, and others echoed in unison, their voices filled with confidence in the upcoming competition.

The group quickly packed up the campsite and, following the two teachers, headed back towards Tiandou City, laden with their spoils.

......

On the other side, outside of Douluo Continent, in overseas continents.

With a tear in space, Qian Xunji and Huang Tian appeared out of thin air above an overseas continent.

This place is sparsely populated, covered with dense primeval forests, and the air is filled with an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

"This is the continent." Qianxun stood in the void, looking down at the vast land below.

"If I'm not mistaken, somewhere on this continent, there should be a hidden, unique little world. That's the burial place of the dragons in this world—Dragon Valley. Try using your bloodline to sense it and see if you can find the entrance."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tian narrowed his dragon eyes slightly, turned to look at Qian Xunji, and asked, "Since there is a dragon cemetery in this outer realm, does our world also have a similar place?"

"I don't know for now." Qianxun shook her head.

"Whether it works or not, we'll find out once we've finished dealing with things here and go back."

Huang Tian nodded and said no more. She closed her eyes and began to carefully sense her surroundings.

Finding a hidden little world in a spatial interlayer is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Time passed day by day. The two patiently conducted a thorough, comprehensive sensing of this vast overseas continent.

A month later, nothing was found.

Until one evening more than a month later.

Huang Tian, ​​who was sitting cross-legged atop a solitary peak with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Found it!" Huang Tian stood up, his voice trembling with barely concealed excitement.

"Right here!"

Without hesitation, Huang Tian took a step forward. The power of her dragon bloodline was pushed to its limit, and pure bloodline power condensed in her palm.

She raised her hand and tore it apart fiercely in the space in front of her!

"Buzz—!"

With a spatial tremor, the void ahead began to twist violently, like the surface of water.

Immediately afterwards, a huge passage formed out of thin air in front of the two of them.

At the other end of the passage was not a secluded paradise filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, but a dark and oppressive world.

Chihiro looked inside through the entrance of the passage.

It was a space forever shrouded in gray clouds. Strangely shaped clouds floated in the sky.

On that gray land, there was no vegetation, only endless mountain ranges. But those weren't mountains at all; they were the interlocking, stacked skeletons of enormous dragons!
