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

380: Section 380Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xun’er and couldn’t help thinking to herself. Hearing her words, the Young ladies all shared a knowing smile.

Indeed, as Yun Xiancheng’s women, being outstanding had long since become a habit. On the field, the progress of the competition was exactly as they expected.

The vast majority of Alchemists appeared to be at their wit’s end during the medicinal herb refinement stage, drenched in sweat. In contrast, the movements of Xiao Yan and the other two were smooth and seamless, completed in one go.

Whether it was refining herbs or merging medicinal liquids, they appeared relaxed and elegant, as if they weren’t participating in a tense and fierce competition, but rather performing an elegant artistic display.

Time passed slowly under the tense gaze of countless people.

Finally, while most participants were still struggling to merge the pill prototypes, tribulation clouds began to gather in the sky! ”Look! Someone is about to complete a pill!”

”It’s a Tier 7 pill! Such strong energy fluctuations!”

The first to successfully refine a pill was a veteran Alchemist from a first-rate power in the Central Plains. What he refined was a mid-grade Tier 7 pill.

As the pill emerged from the cauldron, a thick silver lightning bolt crashed down from the tribulation clouds!

The Alchemist didn’t dare be careless, quickly circulating his Dou Qi to manifest a defensive Dou Technique. He barely managed to block the Pill Lightning, and he was left panting heavily with a pale face.

Following that, more and more Tier 7 pills emerged one after another.

mid-grade Tier 7, high-grade Tier 7, and even two long-famed Great Alchemist Masters gave their all to successfully refine peak Tier 7 pills!

For a moment, the sky above Holy Pill City was filled with thunder and lightning. Dozens of differently colored Pill Lightnings danced like wild pythons, weaving together into an apocalyptic scene!

That terrifying power caused countless low-cultivation spectators to feel their hearts skip a beat and their legs tremble!

However, Yun Xiancheng in the private box merely raised his eyelids indifferently, glancing at the violent thunderclouds without a single ripple in his eyes. At that moment, three energy fluctuations—countless times more terrifying than all the previous pills—burst forth from the center of the finals venue like awakening ancient behemoths!

Boom!

—!

The entire world shook violently!

From the Medicine Cauldron in front of Dan Chen, a perfectly round pill emitting a three-colored halo of green, blue, and purple slowly ascended! A refreshing medicinal fragrance instantly overwhelmed all previous scents!

On the pill, mysterious patterns could be seen flowing, and it actually emitted a faint aura of life! ”An Eighth Grade Pill! It’s an Eighth Grade Pill!”

The Pill Tower Elder’s voice became incredibly shrill due to extreme excitement. Dan Chen was only eighteen years old—an eighteen-year-old Grade 8 Alchemist!? ”Rumble!”

In the sky, the thundercloud composed of dozens of Tier 7 Pill Lightnings was instantly dispersed before this aura, like a subject meeting its king!

Replacing it was a broader and deeper three-colored tribulation cloud!

Green, blue, and purple lightning surged frantically within the tribulation cloud, brewing a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth!

Three-colored Pill Lightning! This was the sign of an Eighth Grade Pill, and a high-quality one at that! However, this was merely the beginning!

Almost at the same instant Dan Chen completed her pill, the Medicine Cauldron in front of Cao Ying also let out a clear phoenix cry!

A pill also emitting an astonishing spirituality soared into the sky! Unlike Dan Chen’s, her pill was surrounded by a four-colored radiance of red, orange, yellow, and green!

In the sky, the newly formed three-colored tribulation cloud was torn apart once again by an even stronger force! A larger four-colored thundercloud took its place.

Destructive lightning of four different attributes shimmered in the clouds. That power made even many Dou Zun experts feel their scalps tingle! ”Heavens! Four-colored Pill Lightning!”

Everyone’s breathing completely stopped at this moment! However, the true shock was still to come!

While everyone was still immersed in the endless horror brought by the four-colored Pill Lightning, the Medicine Cauldron in front of Xiao Yan suddenly let out a violent roar! A majestic aura several times more terrifying than the previous two combined soared into the sky!

A pill as crystal clear as if carved from the purest crystal in the world floated quietly in mid-air. Inside the pill, a miniature world seemed to be slowly evolving, with mysterious runes of five different colors flickering in and out! This was exactly the unique Spirit Ascension Method created by Yao Chan, raising the Bone-Growing Blood-Merging Pill, which originally had one-colored Pill Lightning, to five colors. ”BOOM—!!!!”

At this moment, the sky seemed to be completely torn to shreds!

The newly formed four-colored thundercloud was instantly covered by a larger thundercloud by an irresistible force!

A vast sea of lightning covering the entire Holy Pill City and emitting a five-colored divine light took its place! Five-colored Pill Lightning!

The entire world fell completely silent at this moment!

Everyone’s mind went blank. They just stared up blankly,

looking at those three Eighth Grade Pills floating in mid-air like miracles, and that sky-blotting ocean of Pill Lightning that seemed ready to drag the entire world into destruction.

”Chirp chirp!”

Those three Eighth Grade Pills, which had already developed a rudimentary intelligence, seemed to sense the threat from the sky.

They actually let out shrill cries like young children and turned into three streaks of light, attempting to flee in different directions! ”Thinking of running?”

Xiao Yan, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen all let out a soft snort in unison.

They raised their jade hands, and three majestic Dou Qi ribbons flew out accurately, instantly binding the three pills firmly in mid-air, making them unable to move.

After doing all this, the three of them looked up in unison at the ocean of Pill Lightning about to fall—an ocean powerful enough to blast ordinary Dou Zun experts into ashes. In their beautiful eyes, instead of any fear, there was absolute trust and... expectation.

They knew their man would take action.

Sure enough, just as the dozens of Tier 7 Pill Lightnings and the three even more terrifying Eighth Grade Pill Lightnings

were about to fall simultaneously, a white-robed figure appeared without warning directly beneath that sea of lightning. It was Yun Xiancheng!

He stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, his expression extremely calm, as if the lightning capable of destroying heaven and earth was nothing more than a breeze on his face.

”Heavens! It’s the Young Dou Di!”

”What... what is he doing?! Does he want to face that sky full of Pill Lightning by himself?!” ”Madness! This is simply madness!”

The crowd below instantly erupted in waves of terrified clamor.

However, in the next moment, they witnessed a miracle they would never forget in their lives.

Yun Xiancheng slowly raised his right hand and gave a light wave toward the roaring sea of lightning. ”Come.”

His voice was plain and unremarkable, yet it seemed to contain the supreme power of a divine decree.

In an instant, the extremely violent Pill Lightning that could make heaven and earth change color seemed to receive an irresistible summons and instantly became incredibly docile!

The dozens of Tier 7 Pill Lightnings, along with the even more terrifying torrent of Eighth Grade Pill Lightning composed of three, four, and five-colored bolts, all turned around and transformed into a twelve-colored river of lightning spanning across the sky, pouring entirely into his seemingly ordinary wide sleeves!

Universe in the Sleeve! Harnessing Heavenly Might!

In just the blink of an eye, the apocalyptic sea of lightning that seemed ready to level Holy Pill City vanished without a trace. The sky returned to a cloudless clear blue.

Only that solitary figure in snow-white robes remained, standing like an eternal deity, deeply imprinted in the soul of everyone present. ”Gulp.”

Someone swallowed hard, breaking the dead silence.

Following that, a mountain-shaking cheer filled with fanaticism and worship soared into the sky, nearly flipping the roof of the entire Holy Pill City!

Standing in the void, after absorbing that majestic Pill Lightning power, the aura within Yun Xiancheng’s body began to surge frantically at a visible rate!

He easily reached Two Star Dou Zun!

His aura did not stop at all, continuing to climb upward!

At this moment, two beautiful figures soared into the sky from the finals venue below, arriving at his sides. They were Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

”Senior Brother!” ”Senior Brother Yun!”

The two girls looked at each other, both seeing the same unwavering determination filled with love and devotion in the other’s eyes.

Without any hesitation, they simultaneously presented the Eighth Grade Pills in their hands—pills that could drive the entire continent crazy—to Yun Xiancheng’s mouth. ”Lord Guan, please!”

”These were... specially refined for you!”

Their voices were crisp and firm, filled with resolution.

Yun Xiancheng looked at these two peerless beauties he had just taken into his household, his heart warming. He didn’t stand on ceremony, opening his mouth to swallow those two

pills entirely.

BOOM!

The majestic medicinal power, mixed with the Pill Lightning energy, exploded within his body like two volcanoes erupting simultaneously!

At this moment, Yun Xiancheng’s body seemed to turn into a bottomless black hole, greedily and ruthlessly devouring all energy from the surrounding heaven and earth!

Two Star Dou Zun! Three-Star Dou Zun! Four Star Dou Zun!

Seven Star Dou Zun!

Under the gaze of countless terrified eyes, his cultivation actually broke through four levels like a rocket, finally stopping steadily at the Seven Star Dou Zun realm!

However, this was not the end!

The moment he completed his breakthrough, a mysterious power flowed out from his body through the invisible Pact of One Heart!

A full twenty percent of the Dou Qi he gained from this breakthrough was generated out of thin air, turning into the purest energy torrent to feed back to all the wives and concubines who had signed

the pact with him!

Yun Yun, Cai Lin, Purple Wing, and others who were already Five-Star Dou Zun also benefited. The bottleneck of Five-Star Dou Zun shattered instantly!

Six Star Dou Zun! Seven Star Dou Zun!

Her cultivation was directly pushed to the terrifying level of Seven Star Dou Zun!

Meanwhile, the Young ladies below like Nalan Yanran and Han Yue, who were originally high-level Dou Zongs, the moment they received this energy feedback,

the Dou Qi in their bodies became like a flood breaking a dam, unstoppably crashing through the barrier to the higher realm! Two Star Dou Zun!

They all broke through to Dou Zun!

Twenty percent of the energy required from One Star to Seven Star Dou Zun was enough to raise these high-level Dou Zongs to Two Star Dou Zun. Most of the other girls reached high-level Dou Zong or even Peak Dou Zong, and some were One Star Dou Zun. Zi Yan, Yun Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan, and others were also between Three Star and Four Star Dou Zun.

Moreover, this energy was even more solid than what one would get from slow, individual cultivation.

After all, it was energy from the same source; it could even be said to be the result of nearly a hundred sisters cultivating together. We a hundred people share the same source; could our cultivation be less solid than yours alone?

As for the newly joined Cao Ying and Dan Chen, they were completely stunned when they felt the surging power in their bodies, directly reaching Eight or Nine Star Dou Zong.

Busy with alchemy these past days, they didn’t understand the details of the Pact of One Heart, thinking it was just a communication tool. They didn’t expect that after that majestic Dou Qi scattered into their bodies, it would have such a great use.

472 Yao Chan’s Resurrection Ceremony

The aftermath of the Pill Gathering’s conclusion had not yet subsided. The streets and alleys of Holy Pill City still echoed with legends of that ”Young Dou Di” who harnessed heavenly might with a wave of his sleeve and broke through several levels in one day.

However, Yun Xiancheng, the center of this storm, had already distanced himself from the clamor and fanaticism. Under the guidance of Xuan Yi, he stepped into a little-known secret room deep within the Pill Tower.

The secret room was located in the deepest part of the Little Pill Tower. The surrounding walls were made of unknown greenish-black spiritual stones, inscribed with complex and mysterious ancient runes. In the dim light, these runes emitted a faint ghostly blue glow, like stars dotting this slightly somber space.

The air was filled with a scent of aged medicine mixed with a certain indescribable cold aura that seemed to reach directly into the soul. In the center of the secret room, a stone platform carved from white jade stood quietly.

On the stone platform, the remains of a woman sealed in a transparent crystal coffin lay peacefully inside. It was Yao Chan’s physical body.

Despite being in a soul body state for many years, this physical body remained perfectly intact under the preservation of the Pill Tower’s secret methods, just as it was in life.

Her skin was as white as jade, and her face was charming and moving. If not for the lack of any rise and fall in her chest, anyone who saw her would think she was merely in a deep sleep.

Xuan Yi stood by the stone platform, her eyes turning slightly red as she looked at the familiar face in the coffin.

She reached out and gently stroked that sleeping face through the crystal, her voice carrying an irrepressible sob. ”After waiting all these years, finally... finally this day has come.”

Yun Xiancheng stood quietly behind her, not making a sound to disturb her. He could feel Xuan Yi’s current excitement and unease.

For this elder who regarded Yao Chan as a daughter, the significance of today’s event was likely no less than her own breakthrough to Dou Sheng. ”Senior Xuan Yi, is everything prepared?”

Xiao Yan’s voice broke the silence in the secret room. She was in a black dress, her expression solemn, and three groups of differently colored Heavenly Flames floated quietly in her hands.

The verdant Green Lotus Core Flame, the colorless Fallen Heart Flame, and the deep blue Sea Heart Flame—the three colors of fire intertwined, emitting a heart-palpitatingly terrifying temperature. ”Yes.”

Xuan Yi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her emotional fluctuations and returning to her composed and dignified manner.

With a wave of her jade hand, the crystal coffin vanished silently, and Yao Chan’s physical body was exposed before everyone without any obstruction.

”Yaner, use the Flame Mantra to command the three flames and reinject vitality into Chaner’s body. Remember, keep the heat steady; do not be too hasty.” ”Yes.”

Xiao Yan responded and stepped forward slowly, standing at one side of the stone platform. She closed her eyes, and the Flame Mantra technique within her body began to circulate frantically.

Under her control, the three Heavenly Flames transformed into three fire dragons, spiraling down onto Yao Chan’s physical body. A strange scene appeared.

The three Heavenly Flames, which should have been incredibly violent and capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, now acted like the most docile spirits, gently wrapping around Yao Chan’s body. They did not burn or destroy; instead, they seemed to be performing some mysterious tempering and nourishment.

Yao Chan’s originally stiff and cold skin actually began to slowly regain some color under the nourishment of the Heavenly Flames.

”Ying’er, Chen’er, you two assist with your soul power,” Xuan Yi continued to instruct. Cao Ying and Dan Chen looked at each other and nodded.

The two girls sat cross-legged on either side of the stone platform, closing their eyes and concentrating. Majestic soul power surged from their foreheads, turning into two milky-white light pillars that sank into Yao Chan’s body.

Xuan Yi turned around and looked at Yun Xiancheng, her eyes carrying a hint of entreaty.

”Next, it will depend on you. Chaner’s soul still needs you to protect it.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded slightly. He walked slowly to the stone platform and reached out, gently placing his hand on Yao Chan’s cool forehead.

In the next moment, his consciousness sank into the depths of his own sea of consciousness. Within the sea of consciousness, Yao Chan’s soul body was floating quietly.
