Battle Through the Heavens: Starting with Cao Ying as an apprentice

And at this moment, although the size of this one is slightly different, its unique appearance, aura, and innate sense of nobility are absolutely unmistakable!

"Hey, you know me?" This time it was Xiao Jin's turn to be surprised.

After it came into this world, even the two titled Douluo, Ningbing and Xuanhuo, only realized that it was an auspicious beast after it revealed its identity.

The gentle-looking blue-haired woman in front of me actually knew its origin at a glance?

“I don’t know you, but I’ve seen another three-eyed golden lion just like you, though it’s a little smaller.” Ah Yin slowly calmed down from her shock, nodded, and said with certainty.

From Ah Yin's words, Xiao Jin keenly gleaned key information such as "another one" and "three-eyed golden lion".

Its heterochromatic pupils suddenly lit up, and an indescribable excitement welled up in its heart.

This world... has my kind!

It stood up abruptly, staring intently at Ah Yin, its voice filled with urgent longing: "Then can you take me to find it?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin shook her head without hesitation, a hint of apology and caution appearing on her face: "No, it won't work. It is protected by extremely powerful ferocious beasts, and I am far from being a match for it."

"If a soul beast like me were discovered by those overlords deep in the forest, I would probably be no different from food." She knew all too well how terrifying the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest was; it was definitely not a place that could be trodden at will.

"Uh... okay then." The excited light in Xiao Jin's eyes quickly dimmed, his ears drooped, and he lay back on the table, the whole beast exuding a listless and dejected air.

Bai Yue'er witnessed all of this. Although she didn't fully understand what the "auspicious beast" and "three-eyed golden lion" specifically meant, she could clearly feel Xiao Jin's disappointment as he plummeted from the clouds.

She walked to the stone table, reached out, and gently stroked Xiao Jin's soft head. Her voice was gentle yet firm: "Xiao Jin, it's alright. When I break through to the Soul Master level and need to hunt for Soul Rings, I can take you to the Star Dou Great Forest. Then, we can go and see together, and maybe we'll find your kind?"

"Great! I knew Xiaoyue was the best!" Xiaojin instantly perked up, all her frustration gone.

It cheered, and its body shrank rapidly in a soft golden light, becoming the size of a kitten. Then, it leaped into Bai Yue'er's arms and nuzzled affectionately.

Inside the house, Su Baichen, who had been listening quietly to the commotion in the courtyard, looked at this scene through the window, a helpless smile appearing on his lips, and gently shook his head.

Chapter 205 Starry Begonia and Creation Azure Flame Lotus

The courtyard was bathed in starlight at night, and Su Baichen, dressed in white, stood in the moonlight, looking like a banished immortal.

Two young girls were kneeling in front of him; they were the Ye sisters.

"Greetings, senior!" The sisters' voices were filled with nervousness and awe.

Su Baichen raised his hand to help him up: "Get up."

The two sisters stood up and bowed their heads.

The older sister, Ye Xinyao, is tall and slender with a touch of heroism in her eyes; the younger sister, Ye Ruoxi, appears much more gentle and graceful, with a hint of timidity in her eyes.

Su Baichen turned his gaze to Ning Bing beside him: "Why are there two?"

“Master, the only eligible women in the main branch of the Ye family are these two sisters, so I brought them both,” Ningbing explained, slightly embarrassed.

The Ye sisters became even more nervous. Yesterday, their father suddenly summoned them to his study, saying that there was an extraordinary opportunity and that they should leave with the maid of this mysterious senior.

Along the way, Ningbing told them the details—it turned out that this senior could help the two of them get rid of the Nine Heart Begonia curse that had been passed down in the Ye family for hundreds of years.

Ye Xinyao took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Senior, I am only accompanying you. My martial soul is just an ordinary green lotus; my younger sister is the true inheritor of the Nine-Hearted Begonia. Please, senior, save her!"

After speaking, she bowed deeply once again.

Ye Ruoxi hurriedly grabbed her sister's sleeve: "Sister, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me—"

"Stop." Su Baichen interrupted calmly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"Since you're all here, I can help one more person. But there's one condition: one of them must assist my apprentice."

"I can!" Ye Xinyao glared at her younger sister, then turned to Su Baichen with unwavering determination.

Su Baichen nodded slightly, and with a flick of his hand, two strange objects appeared out of thin air.

On the left is a dancing green flame, full of life, yet radiating a chillingly high temperature.

On the right is a flower that radiates starlight, its petals like glass, with what appears to be a flowing river of stars inside.

"This is a sub-flame of the Flame of Life. After fusion, it can transform the Martial Soul and give it a chance to gain some of the Flame of Life's abilities. However, the fusion process is risky. If one's will is not strong, it may damage the source."

"This is the Flowing Star Meteor Flower. After consuming it, one's martial soul will also undergo a transformation, granting the user the talent to absorb the power of stars, and there is absolutely no risk involved."

"You can choose for yourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard fell silent, with only starlight pouring down like water.

Without hesitation, Ye Xinyao stepped forward, took the Flowing Starfall Flower, turned around and stuffed it into her sister's arms. Her movements were so fast that Ye Ruoxi didn't have time to react.

"Sister!" Ye Ruoxi held the flower that radiated warm starlight, her eyes instantly reddening.

Ye Xinyao didn't turn around, but walked straight to Su Baichen, her eyes blazing: "Senior, I choose to fuse with the Flame of Life."

Ye Ruoxi opened her mouth, but a thousand words stuck in her throat.

She knew her sister had given her the chance to be safe, choosing the dangerous path instead. How could she ever repay that kindness?

"A wise choice." A hint of appreciation flashed in Su Baichen's eyes.

"Its name is Little Green, and that ball of fire is its source of power. It will help you fuse with it later."

Before he finished speaking, a small, green-clad doll with a pigtail appeared out of thin air on Su Baichen's shoulder. It sucked its fingers and curiously looked at Ye Xinyao with its big, dark eyes.

"Little Green, it's all yours now."

Little Green nodded, floated in front of Ye Xinyao, and touched her forehead with its chubby little hand, as if sensing her aptitude.

Su Baichen turned and left, leaving only the words: "Let's begin."

The two sisters exchanged a glance and sat cross-legged.

Ye Xinyao closed her eyes, and a wisp of green flame shot out from Xiao Lv's mouth. The flame seemed to have a life of its own and swam toward her brow.

In an instant, green flames enveloped her entire body, but did not harm her in the slightest. Instead, they formed a thin film of light on her skin.

At the same time, Ye Ruoxi put the Meteorite Flower into her mouth. The petals melted upon entering her mouth, turning into warm starlight that flowed through her limbs and bones.

A faint silver light emanated from her, making the stars in the night sky seem even brighter, with strands of starlight falling like silk threads and enveloping her.

The strange phenomenon in the courtyard quickly alerted everyone inside the house.

Bai Yue'er was the first to push open the door and step out, her blue and white dress fluttering gently in the night breeze.

She looked at her sisters, enveloped in starlight and flames, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Master has bestowed such a blessing upon them..."

Ah Yin followed behind her, her long blue hair shimmering in the starlight. Her eyes widened, her face full of curiosity: "Wow, what's going on? It's so beautiful!"

Finally, Little Gold emerged. It glanced at Little Green in the air, pursed its lips, and clearly already knew it.

"They are undergoing a transformation of their martial spirit. Judging from the commotion, once they succeed, they will be completely transformed," Bai Yue'er explained softly.

Ah Yin rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling: "That flame looked so warm, and the starlight was so beautiful. They're so lucky!"

Xiao Jin snorted coldly: "The greater the fortune, the greater the risk. That one who fused with the strange fire, if he's not careful, could..."

"Shh, since Master has taken action, he must be confident," Bai Yue'er interrupted him.

Time flows amidst starlight and flames.

Two hours later, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly changed.

The green flames around Ye Xinyao suddenly receded and merged into her body.

She slowly opened her eyes, and a blue lotus shadow flashed across her pupils, with a tiny green flame flickering in the heart of the lotus.

"Creation Azure Flame Lotus..." she murmured softly, opening her palm. A phantom of a jade-like lotus flower appeared, with green fire patterns flowing on its petals, its boundless vitality and blazing flame power perfectly intertwined.

Almost simultaneously, the starlight surrounding Ye Ruoxi also subsided.

When she opened her eyes, a galaxy seemed to swirl deep within her pupils. With a slight thought, a phantom of a crabapple blossomed behind her, but the crabapple was no longer pure white; instead, it was tinged with starlight, its petals adorned with specks of silver light, like stars in the night sky.

“Starry Begonia… I can feel the power of the stars!” Her voice trembled with excitement.

More importantly, she could feel that some kind of shackles on her body had vanished at that moment.

The two sisters looked at each other, their eyes filled with ecstasy.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you two, don't get excited yet." Ah Yin suddenly spoke up with a smile, pointing at Ye Xinyao.

"Could we take a look at this friend's situation first?"

Bai Yue'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly, while Xiao Jin turned his head away, his shoulders swaying slightly.

Ye Ruoxi followed everyone's gaze to her sister, first looking puzzled, then widening her eyes in surprise: "Sister, your...your clothes!"

"What's wrong with the clothes?" Ye Xinyao looked down and froze instantly.

Her clothes had long since turned to ashes under the scorching flames of life, leaving her completely naked, her snow-white skin glowing with a luminous sheen in the moonlight.

If it weren't for the faint blue halo remaining on their bodies after fusion, they would probably have already been completely exposed.

"what--"

A scream pierced the night sky.

Ye Xinyao crossed her arms and squatted down, her face flushed red: "Don't look! Close your eyes!"

Ah Yin winked mischievously, took out a cloak from her storage ring, and handed it over: "Here, put this on first. Congratulations on your successful spirit evolution! This little incident is nothing!"

Ye Ruoxi quickly took off her outer garment and draped it over her sister. The sisters' flustered movements brought bursts of good-natured laughter to the courtyard.

Chapter 206 Encountering a Ferocious Beast; Little Gold's Ultimate Move!

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest.

Ning Bing, dressed in blue, walked at the forefront, a chill emanating from her, causing frost to form on the grass wherever she passed. Xuan Huo brought up the rear, her red robes like fire, warily surveying their surroundings.

Bai Yue'er, carrying Xiao Jin in her arms, walked between the two. Bai Yue'er had recently broken through to the Soul Sect level, her aura was stable, and her eyes already showed the sharpness of a powerful expert.

"Lord Auspicious Beast, why did you come along too?" Xuan Huo couldn't help but ask again, his tone helpless.

This trip was originally intended to help Bai Yue'er hunt for her fourth spirit ring, but this little devil insisted on coming along.

Little Gold peeked out from Bai Yue'er's arms, its golden eyes glancing at Xuan Huo: "Hmph, what's it to you?"

It twisted its body, and all three eyes looked into the depths of the forest.

From the moment it stepped into this forest, it sensed the presence of a kindred spirit—faint, distant, yet undeniably real. It was the scent of another auspicious beast.

Before Xuan Huo could say anything more, Ning Bing's cold voice suddenly came from ahead: "Found it."
