Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

254: Section 254Yun Xiancheng did not continue with the next combo of Yunlan Sword Dance, maintaining the first stance, seemingly testing Yun Shan’s limits. Finally, at the hundredth round, Yun Xiancheng’s Red Tower illusion dissipated, and the first stance reached its limit.

Yun Shan, relying on his advantage in cultivation realm, broke the momentum of Yun Xiancheng’s ”Yunlan Sword Dance” first stance, forcing him back. Just as Yun Shan was about to press his advantage and kill this annoying young man, ”Xiancheng!”

Yun Yun also arrived beside Yun Xiancheng at this moment, holding Yun Xiancheng with one hand and thrusting her sword towards Yun Shan’s throat with the other. Their cooperation was seamless, and the offensive was fierce. Yun Shan wanted to pursue, but facing Yun Yun’s attack, he quickly retreated. However, he was pursued by Yun Ziyi’s purple flame, which was like

a maggot in the bone, clinging relentlessly. It took him a great deal of effort to resolve the spreading purple flame.

He looked up at the three Yun Xiancheng again, who had gathered together. His eyes were filled with apprehension. The three of them working together, with both offense and defense, and flawless coordination, made him feel an unprecedented pressure.

”Are you alright?” Yun Yun asked with concern, her gaze fixed on Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Ziyi said nothing, but unconsciously linked her arm with Yun Xiancheng’s, expressing her concern and attachment through action. Yun Xiancheng shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Then, a determined light flickered in his eyes: ”Master, Ziyi, buy me some time.” He knew it was time to unleash his true killing move.

The two women nodded, then quickly rushed towards Yun Shan again, entangling him and buying precious time for Yun Xiancheng. Meanwhile, Yun Xiancheng began to mobilize his current power.

The temporary realm boost from Medicine Lady gave him the strength of a Dou Huang, but it was just the strength of an ordinary Dou Huang, not his true arrival at the Dou Huang realm, which made him a little unaccustomed to it for a while.

However... Medicine Lady’s nurturing of him these past days was not limited to this.

She had fed him elixirs twice, both to improve his adaptability to wind and cloud attribute powers.

Although most of the time he was just holding the elixir in his mouth while intimately close with the Young ladies, it didn’t mean these elixirs were useless. Their power had long since merged into his bloodline and Dou Qi.

He took a deep breath, gripped his sword, and the white cloud wings behind him began to gradually enlarge. The sea of clouds beneath Yun Xiancheng’s feet also churned at this moment, and vaguely,

a true dragon slowly raised its head within the endless sea of clouds, letting out a silent roar, carrying an ancient majesty.

Above the sea of clouds, fierce winds arose, and within the fierce winds, mighty tigers seemed to circle, carrying an aura that dominated the world. Dragon roars and tiger cries, the wind and clouds changed color, and the power of the entire ”Cloud Above Heavenly Palace” domain converged upon him.

More importantly,

the power of the Young ladies also converged at this moment. They seemed to know that Yun Xiancheng was in battle, and those Young ladies who were not present now transmitted their power from all directions.

Yun Xiancheng slowly opened his eyes again, white flames flickering deep within his pupils. He mobilized the vast Dou Qi within his body, and the sword in his hand began to dance, each movement seemingly containing the profound truths of heaven and earth.

A beautiful Red Tower was created, carrying memories of Wutan City; the small wooden house outside Qingshan Town, the Amethyst Winged Lion King’s cave, the pill fragrance of Blackrock City, the yellow sands of the desert, the scenery of Jia Ma Imperial City and Yun Lan Mountain... These wondrous scenes and illusions, intertwined with the laughter of the Young ladies, were generated one by one as Yun Xiancheng danced, layering upon layer.

This was no longer just his individual display; it was also the Young ladies conveying their intent to Yun Xiancheng, making the profound meaning of these sword moves even more powerful.

These profound meanings transformed into an indescribably powerful potential energy, making him appear like a god. However, maintaining these scenes also consumed a great deal of his mental energy.

Yun Shan, who was currently fighting Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, suddenly felt an indescribable terror throughout his body, as if he had been targeted by some ancient savage beast. That power made his heart tremble, and his soul quivered.

He looked at the approaching figure, surrounded by layered visions. That power made him feel despair. Unstoppable! Unstoppable! Unstoppable!

Every inch of his body screamed danger. He didn’t even want to be entangled with Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, retreating frantically, trying to escape this terrifying power.

Sonic booms erupted all over his body; his retreating speed had broken the sound barrier. A Dou Zong’s physical body could completely ignore the damage from the sound barrier. However, that terrifying sword momentum was like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing him, as if it had locked onto his soul.

Yun Yun and Big Lion did not pursue. They also sensed the powerful energy contained within Yun Xiancheng’s sword, a power capable of deciding the battle. They

scattered to both sides, clearing space for Yun Xiancheng and leaving a witness for this impending end.

The moment they dispersed, all of Yun Xiancheng’s imagery merged into one, transforming into a brilliant sword light, carrying the magnificent momentum of surging winds and clouds, and the simultaneous roar of dragons and tigers, instantly piercing Yun Shan.

Blood splattered across the sky. Yun Shan’s figure in the sword light shattered like a bubble, eventually turning into nothingness, completely falling.

215 Cai Lin Makes Her Move

Yun Xiancheng slowly fell to the ground, his peerless face covered in blood.

Blood flowed like ribbons, yet it did not fall to the ground. Instead, it slowly drifted towards the sky, forming streaks of magnificent red silk that endlessly spread towards the horizon, finally transforming into specks of light after a certain distance, dissipating into nothingness.

Yun Yun’s figure flickered, steadily catching the slowly descending Yun Xiancheng, gently embracing him. Her eyes were filled with worry and heartache; the joy of having him back, which she had thought lost, was now replaced by deep anxiety.

The vast sea of clouds was rapidly dissipating, and the majestic illusory gate of heaven slowly faded, eventually disappearing. The ”Cloud Above Heavenly Palace” domain constructed by Yun Xiancheng disintegrated with his weakening.

The two Protectors of the Hall of Souls immediately felt the pressure greatly reduced. After the invisible domain power dissipated, their bodies felt lighter, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted. Although Yun Shan was dead, he had at least fulfilled his duty, temporarily depriving Yun Xiancheng of the ability to maintain the ”Cloud Above Heavenly Palace” domain.

”Chenger!” In the spiritual world, Medicine Lady tightly embraced Yun Xiancheng. Her soul body was not too weak at this moment, because Yun Xiancheng had almost

shouldered all the consumption himself, taking most of the backlash onto his own body.

”How could you be so foolish? My soul origin is stronger, I should have been the one to bear it!”

Her small fists continuously pounded his chest, her voice filled with heartache and reproach, tears welling in her eyes.

Yun Xiancheng struggled to open his eyes, a pale smile on his face, and softly said, ”I am your husband. If anything happens, it’s natural for me to bear it first.” His voice, though weak, was filled with determination and responsibility.

Upon hearing this, Medicine Lady’s eyes immediately welled up with tears, but more so with anger. She sat on Yun Xiancheng’s body, displeased, and scolded, ”Strong! Capable! Who told you to do that?!”

She was both angry and anxious, her voice choked with tears: ”If you’re going to bear it, wait until you’re stronger! You’re just doing this for show! Don’t you know how dangerous this is?

Yun Xiancheng looked at the anxious Medicine Lady, his smile deepening a bit: ”Master... I know my limits, I won’t die.” Yun Xiancheng had merely overexerted himself this time; it was far from being a matter of life and death.

Hearing this, Medicine Lady said no more, simply clinging tightly to Yun Xiancheng, hugging him as if to melt him into her own body, feeling his faint but warm body temperature.

Yun Xiancheng returned the embrace, and at the same time softly said, ”It’s not over yet. Those two black-robed men must be killed.” His voice was low but filled with strong determination.

The Hall of Souls Protectors have likely already sensed Medicine Lady’s presence. They cannot be allowed to transmit the message back. Two external Dou Zong Protectors, the Hall of Souls wouldn’t care too much if they died.

”Then I’ll go find Xiao Yan.” Medicine Lady also knew that those two Hall of Souls Dou Zong couldn’t be allowed to live. When she possessed Yun Xiancheng, she must have aroused their suspicion. If they didn’t cut the roots, there would be endless trouble.

At this moment, a transparent consciousness transformed into a small snake, flying agilely to Yun Xiancheng’s side. It rubbed against Yun Xiancheng’s cheek, and a tender

consciousness transmitted: ”Does Papa need my help?”

Yun Xiancheng dotingly rubbed her small head and shook it: ”Not this time.” The little snake was, after all, just a newborn consciousness. Sneak attacks were fine, but directly battling a genuine Dou Zong was out of the question; he didn’t want her to be in danger.

”Cai Lin, I really need your help this time.” Yun Xiancheng looked towards a corner of the space, where Cai Lin’s consciousness was quietly floating, carrying a hint of elusive pride.

As his gaze shifted, Cai Lin’s figure slowly appeared. She crossed her arms, her face turned away, seemingly still sulking, but her beautiful eyes unconsciously glanced at Yun Xiancheng.

Finally, she spoke, ”Since you’re already like this, I’ll reluctantly help you.”

Yun Xiancheng had thought he would have to persuade her for a while, but he didn’t expect her to agree so readily. That was good. He nodded, his tone sincere: ”Thank you.”

Cai Lin’s eyes shifted, her mind pondering something unknown.

Yun Xiancheng slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness gradually returning to his body. He saw himself resting his head on Linger’s lap, the softness and warmth bringing him immense comfort.

Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran were on his left and right, each tightly holding his hand, their warmth and strength radiating from their palms. Little Lioness Yun Yan sat cleverly on Yun Xiancheng’s lap, her body providing a touch of warmth.

It could be said that he was surrounded by people from all directions, enveloped by tenderness and care, and that feeling of being protected made him feel incredibly secure.

However, he was already accustomed to this perspective. He merely adjusted his head, and while resting on Linger, he applied a small amount of Dou Qi to the clothes on her leg to prevent her body from feeling uncomfortable due to prolonged weight-bearing.

”Senior Brother, you’ve worked hard.” Nalan Yanran held his hand tightly, her concern clearly visible on her face, her eyes filled with worry and heartache.

Yun Xiancheng nodded gently, and said naturally, ”This is for us. I don’t feel anything bad.” His voice was a little weak.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the distant ruins of the Cloud Mist Sect, his voice calm and cold, with a hint of undeniable resolve: ”That Yun Ling disliked me for a long time. He hated the house for the crow, and took it out on you. So I killed him.”

”Yun Shan, the Former Sect Master, indulged Yun Ling in tormenting you, and even wanted to re-emerge and take away Master. So I killed him.”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the small snake, which had been acting as his scarf, suddenly fly off his body, transforming into a seven-colored stream of light.

Subsequently, a seven-colored light shone, and an peerless Beauty slowly emerged from the void. Her appearance seemed to dim the entire world; she was Cai Lin.

Yun Xiancheng had seen her many times in his consciousness space, so he was not surprised.

At this moment, she possessed the strength of a Five-Star Dou Zong, radiating a powerful and ancient aura. That majesty and Beauty coexisted, inspiring awe. His fall into the Green Lotus Core Flame had greatly helped her, allowing her evolution to be far superior to that in the original work.

She glowed with seven-colored light, her figure flashed, and she soared into the sky, moving as fast as lightning. She met up with Green Savage, Ying, Yun Yun, and Yun Ziyi in the sky.

The four Young ladies were initially worried that new enemies had arrived, but upon seeing a peerless Beauty radiating a familiar aura, they immediately realized she was one of their own, and a hint of surprise and understanding flashed in their eyes.

”With me as the center, first kill that Four-Star Dou Zong!” Cai Lin declared, her voice clear and full of authority.

216 Fated Sovereign

[Uncrowned King 1/1 (Become the hidden monarch of the Jia Ma Empire, winning the hearts of the royal sisters Yao Ye and Heavenly Moon.)]

[Lord of Cloud Mist 1/1 (Unite with the current Sect Master Yun Yun and Young Sect Leader Nalan Yanran of the Cloud Mist Sect, and slay the Former Sect Master Yun Shan who betrayed Cloud Mist.)] [Enemy of the Hun Clan 1/1 (Intertwine souls with Young Emperor Xiao Yan and Medicine Lady, and slay Vulture Protector.)]

The moment Vulture Protector fell, Yun Xiancheng heard the gentle female voice whispering in his ear again, trembling deep in his soul. [Fated Sovereign, this is your rightful glory.]

Yun Xiancheng felt a strange sensation awakening within him. It was not a sudden surge granted by external force, but rather a dormant primordial power reviving, like melting ice and nascent spring water, carrying an unstoppable vitality.

Like invisible shackles being severed, a sense of enlightenment followed, penetrating deep into his soul, giving him a deeper understanding of all things in heaven and earth, as if the layers of mist had been peeled away, revealing the essence of the world.

Fated Sovereign, once proven, forever proven. Yun Xiancheng felt a strange sensation.

At this moment, after assuming the posture of a Sovereign, he clearly noticed that he was not *granted* by the system, but *unlocked*. The two are very different.

However, there was no malice; it wasn’t a villainous system. It was more like a limiter that was gradually unlocked.

Because he was the Fated Sovereign, with the result preceding the cause, he had a system guiding his growth.

This system appeared because of the outcome of him being the Fated Sovereign; if it wasn’t a system, it could have been something else.

It’s just that the system might be more intuitive and simple. But the strangest thing is,

The gentle female voice in the system is real. There is a soul operating the system within it.

Most likely, an outsider snuck in to act as the system’s young lady. But who is she?

Yun Xiancheng couldn’t figure out which girl in battle through the heavens, a soul body, would act as a system sprite.

Medicine Lady is absolutely impossible; that gentle voice indicates a big-chested Beauty, and a small flat chest wouldn’t be so maternal no matter how she tried to fake it. It couldn’t be that Xiao Xuan is also a woman, could it? If Xiao Xuan is a woman... then Hun Tiandi wouldn’t be a girl too, would he?

Absolutely impossible! If Hun Tiandi isn’t the villain, then who is? No, don’t let your thoughts wander.

At least the Beauty in the system has no ill intentions. Yun Xiancheng recalled the previous situation.

She also mimicked Yun Yun’s scene of caressing and teaching on Yun Lan Mountain back then; it was clear she was envious. Since she’s one of their own, she will come out when she feels the time is right.

Yun Xiancheng shook his head, having no mind to care about the future at the moment; he only focused on the present. He began to sense his changes.

Within his body, the Dou Qi qi cyclone now harbored the forms of a dragon and a tiger, lifelike and majestic, as if a true dragon coiled and a fierce tiger roared, every inch of Dou Qi imbued with immense power.

The spreading Dou Qi wings also developed dragon and tiger patterns, appearing even more magnificent and extraordinary, each flap carrying the force of wind and thunder, as if tearing through space.

Furthermore, his combat power... Yun Xiancheng felt that killing Yun Ling now would be even easier than before.

And facing some low-star Dou Huangs whose talents were only at the Dou Huang level, he could easily defeat them. Besides that,

There shouldn’t be much difference, apart from gaining a Fated Sovereign attribute.

Of course, what made him different from others was that he consumed very few resources, and most of them were with beautiful Young ladies.

Hmm... it’s possible. Once proven, forever proven represents many things. At least he is destined to become a Sovereign, erecting the Cloud Above Heavenly Palace above the Endless Fire Territory.

Of course, but the most terrifying thing is that in this world, a group of Fated Sovereign Young ladies has appeared. Although it only raises their talent cap, preventing them from encountering bottlenecks in advancement.

But they were born because of him, grew strong because of him, and shared an indescribable connection, as if tightly bound by the threads of fate, moving together towards that unknown future.

Because of the ’once proven, forever proven’ principle, the Young ladies are destined to become Sovereigns.

In a way, it’s also a proof of immortality; there’s no need to worry about the Young ladies dying young.

Even if the Young ladies can only cultivate slowly, relying on persistent effort, as long as they are under his protection, they will reach that destined future. Yun Xiancheng was very satisfied.

Even if the leveling is slow, as long as there is this possibility, as long as they can follow in his footsteps and walk alongside him, that’s enough.

”When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.” Yun Xiancheng smiled slightly, a hint of satisfaction and pride rising in his heart. He was not the kind of person who would abandon his wives due to talent issues.

Besides, the results of his wives’ cultivation would also feed back to him. In a world where cultivation is possible, longevity is within reach.

To be with the Young ladies for a lifetime? No, that’s not a lifetime; it’s eternal companionship, an eternity that transcends time and space.

”Something strange has happened.” Xiao Yan seemed to sense some change; the aura around her became more agile, as if she was more in tune with heaven and earth.

She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of doubt and surprise.

”Mm.” Nalan Yanran nodded. She also felt an indescribable change within herself, as if her soul had been touched by some power, becoming clearer, and her perception of Dou Qi more acute.

Linger remained silent, merely secretly reaching out her small hand to gently stroke Yun Xiancheng’s cheek, feeling the unique aura on him—that warmth and strength made her feel incredibly secure and dependent.

Little Lioness Yun Yan was currently lying on Yun Xiancheng, her nose close, carefully sniffing his body fragrance. That unique scent made her feel incredibly comfortable and satisfied.

Although she also felt the changes in her body, these sensations were far less important than smelling Yun Xiancheng’s body fragrance.

Above the sky, the dark clouds of the Hall of Souls gradually dissipated, revealing the clear blue sky. Sunlight once again bathed Yun Lan Mountain, dispelling the gloom.

Five graceful figures slowly descended. Their expressions were slightly fatigued, and they had some minor wounds—medals left by battle. However, these were minor issues; as their Dou Qi circulated, they began to heal, restoring them to their original state.

But more than that, there was excitement and joy from defeating a powerful enemy. That glory of victory made them shine even brighter, like triumphant goddesses, radiating boundless light.

Cai Lin looked at Yun Xiancheng, who was surrounded by the Young ladies, and huffily crossed her arms, her tone carrying a hint of tsundere and dissatisfaction, yet also a touch of concern: ”The task is done. I’m going to rest.”

Then, her human form faded, revealing her seven-colored snake form. With a flash, she vanished from the spot, leaving only a seven-colored afterimage. It seemed Xiaoer had taken over, joyfully darting to Yun Xiancheng’s head to nestle, coiling down, appearing especially affectionate and lively.

She looked at the Young ladies around Yun Xiancheng, happily weaving among them, as if asserting her presence, or perhaps greeting them. That innocent charm made people chuckle.

Suddenly, she spoke: ”mama.”
