The Battle Through Heaven
Seeing Yao Lao Again
That skinny figure was standing in the sky. His body did not move, but his majestic aura was enough to cause this area to tremble.
Dou Zong, the true point when one could be considered a true expert in the continent. Only by successfully reaching this level would one obtain the prerequisites that allowed one to survive in the Central Plains. Currently, Xiao Yan had reached this step at such an age. This achievement is impressive.
Rain fell from the sky in all directions, enveloping the Heaven Eye Mountain in its grip. A pitter-platter sound appeared.
The figure stood in the empty air far away. No Dou Qi wings or bone wings appeared on his back. Walking in the air was a unique indicator of an elite Dou Zong.
A countless number of gazes passed through the rain and saw a motionless figure in the sky. In an instant, the entire Heaven Eye Mountain Range became completely silent. Only the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves of the tree clearly resounded over the mountain.
The figure in the sky did not move. Every time the rain came into a radius within five feet of it, it would automatically spread. That way it was as if there was an invisible barrier around Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes were tightly shut. A majestic aura lingered over his body, causing it to appear as if he had turned into a statue.
” What's wrong with him? ” Jin Gu asked. Surprise flashed across his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yan's silence. Currently, Xiao Yan had successfully advanced. Why did he become like this?
” Looks like he has entered a unique condition .. ’’ Jin Shi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Jin Gu was shocked when he heard this. Although his strength was stronger than Xiao Yan, he was unable to see what was happening in his body.
”Mari wait. He should recover soon.
”Good.”
…
Xiao Yan, whose eyes were closed in the sky, frowned attentively while the two people spoke. The fire seal on his brows, which had not shown much activity for a long time, was currently emitting a flame light.
Xiao Yan was at first unsure about what was going on at this moment. The only thing he felt was that the Spiritual Strength within his body had become extremely sensitive the moment he broke through to the Dou Zong class. At the same time, he once again sensed the faint spiritual remains left within the fire seal between his brows.
This seal of fire was something Yao Lao had left behind when he was captured. It was also not the first time such a situation had occurred. When he broke through to the Dou Huang class back then, Xiao Yan had followed the spiritual seal left in the fire seal, traveling space itself, and his, to investigate into the mysterious grand hall where Yao Lao had been imprisoned. Since his Spiritual Strength was weak back then, what he could see was extremely blurry.
With his experience from last time, Xiao Yan understood what happened when he once again sensed the change of the fire seal. The Spiritual Strength within his body gathered together before entering the inside of the fire seal.
A flash appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes after his Spiritual Strength entered the fire seal. A strange, dark-black tunnel appeared. Without any hesitation, his Spiritual Strength rushed into it like a bolt of light.
The dark-black tunnel seemed to be very long. However, Xiao Yan did not feel anxious because he had the experience from last time. He carefully gathered his Spiritual Strength and quickly stumbled through it.
This journey continued for an unknown time before some sort of pressure was faintly transmitted from the edge of the tunnel. Dark and dense fluctuations were also felt.
Spiritual Strength had just exited the tunnel when it felt a dark chill sweep over. The same large dark hall entered his eyes. This huge hall was so big that it was terrifying. It was completely covered in a grayish-black color, which caused one to feel extreme pressure.
There were quite a number of black stone pillars that were tens of feet tall in the large hall. Many strange symbols were drawn on these stone pillars. They faintly emitted light, appearing like countless flashing eyes, giving off a terrifying and cold appearance.
Xiao Yan's gaze quickly swept over this large hall, which was so large that he did not know its size. After which, his eyes suddenly changed to a certain area. Countless clusters of light flickered in that place. After careful observation, one can see that/that the inner part of the group ligh is a spiritual body with eyes tightly closed!
Although Xiao Yan had seen it the last time, there was too little time and his Spiritual Strength was still weak. Therefore, the vision he brought back was very blurred. This time, however, he could clearly see that/it had black colored chains winding between the spiritual body assemblages.
This black colored chain wrapped around the neck of the spiritual body. It seemed like something was vaguely being pulled from the interior of the spiritual body through the chains …
Xiao Yan's gaze moved with the chain and saw that/it had some strange towering dark-black colored pillars that were at the end of the chain!
These stone pillars seemed to absorb something from within the spiritual body. Xiao Yan felt a creepiness flowing down his body when he saw this scene. The ‘Hall of Souls’ seems to use these souls as a kind of nutrition?
Although the current Xiao Yan was only an invisible Spiritual Strength, his shocked emotions still appeared.
This shock continued for a moment before Xiao Yan hurriedly sensed the weak trance that was within the fire seal. His Spiritual Strength carefully floated around the large hall.
A strange and grim place of death. This was Xiao Yan's evaluation of this place.
Xiao Yan's search did not stop as this thought flashed across his heart. His gaze swept across the dense interior of the room. A moment later, his Spiritual Strength suddenly shook. Joy immediately rose up in her heart. Those small fluctuations became a little clearer.
Xiao Yan's speed quietly increased with thoughts twinkling in his mind. However, he did not dare to move too fast. He clearly understood that/it must have been an Honorable Elder (Dou Zun) guarding this hall. Although Xiao Yan's current strength was completely different now, he was not so arrogant that he thought he could fight with an elite Dou Zun.
Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength suddenly stopped after traveling forward for a while. His gaze was shocked as he looked in front of him. There was a cluster of light, which did not protrude, hanging on the stone table. Inside the cluster of light was an old man, whose body seemed somewhat illusory. This old man had both his eyes tightly shut. That old face, which was extremely familiar, shocked Yao Lao!
Yao Lao's neck also had black-colored chains around it. Moreover, these black-colored chains appeared to be larger than the others. There were also more strange symbols on it.
Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength trembled intensely, revealing his excitement and the indescribable feeling at this moment.
Xiao Yan stared at the face, which seemed to look older. It had been almost three to four years since Yao Lao was captured. Xiao Yan felt pain, like his heart was gripped by something as well as immense killing intent when he thought of the hardships Yao Lao had experienced during these years. Yao Lao should be given a lot of praise for all his achievements. As the saying goes, a teacher is like a father. Xiao Yan also completely looked at Yao Lao as his father. It was only natural that/that Xiao Yan's heart felt a tremendous pain when he saw Yao Lao suffer such torture.
Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength floated to the top of the stone table. Due to his caution, Xiao Yan did not land his body. Instead, his gaze looked at Yao Lao, who closed his eyes. He could feel Yao Lao's life force. Although it was weak, fortunately nothing too serious happened to him.
While Xiao Yan was observing Yao Lao, who was sleeping, Yao Lao seemed to sense something. His eyelids are moving. After struggling for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes.
Yao Lao's body immediately stiffened after he opened his somewhat turbid eyes. His gaze was blunt as he started in the empty air in front of him. His body involuntarily shook.
Seeing Yao Lao acting like this, Xiao Yan finally could not hold it in any longer. His Spiritual Strength distorted as he transformed into an illusory figure kneeling towards Yao Lao in midair. After which, he kowtowed to Yao Lao. His voice was a little hoarse, ’’ Master, this disciple is unfilial! ’
Yao Lao watched the suspended young man while kneeling. His eyes became moist and a small sound passed through the light bulb.
’Little friend, you've done very well. Being able to recruit you as my disciple is the best thing my old bones have ever done. ’
Although Yao Lao was currently imprisoned, he still had his eyesight. He could tell that/that the current Xiao Yan was just a thread of Spiritual Strength. However, there was a great power hidden within it. Since Xiao Yan was able to rely on the thread of Spiritual Strength to transform into someone, Yao Lao was naturally able to guess that/that the current Xiao Yan had successfully advanced to the Dou Zong class.
Xiao Yan's eyes turned red. He whispered, ” Master, rest assured that/that I will come and save you as soon as possible! ’
’’ Maybe you don't have qualifications .. ’’
Xiao Yan's words had just sounded when an old, indifferent voice slowly sounded in the large hall.
A huge pressure suddenly dropped after the appearance of this old voice. However, Xiao Yan's expression did not change. He stood up, turned around, and saw the fluctuating space behind him with dark eyes. A purple-clothed, strange old man appeared at that place.
The purple-clothed old man glanced at Xiao Yan. He immediately knitted his brows. Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength faintly gave him a somewhat familiar feeling. After thinking for a while, he subconsciously said in surprise, ” have you been a Spiritual Strength since then? ‘
Xiao Ya looked at this purple-clothed old man and did not reply.
” It is unexpected that/it is a person who cannot even receive spiritual fluctuations from this noble self (Dou Zun) can actually come to this place. It seems you are much stronger than back then. ” The purple-robed old man glanced at Yao Lao in the light cluster. He faintly smiled, raised his hand, and pointed it at Xiao Yan from a distance. ” However, this is far from enough... ‘’
” Next time I come here, I will avenge all the hardships that teachers have experienced during these years! ” Xiao Yan's gaze was the same as that of a savage beast. This vaguely brought about a madness that caused people to feel fear.
”Hopefully..”.
The purple-clothed old man raised his brows as his hands suddenly clenched. The space around Xiao Yan immediately cracked. Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength was knocked out by this terrifying attack.
The surface of the delighted expression on Yao Lao's old face was in a cluster of light as he looked at Xiao Yan's missing body. Xiao Yan was able to remain fearless before an elite Dou Zun. From the looks of it, he had actually grown quite a lot during these years. Yao Lao vaguely felt that/that the next time this disciple of his appeared, he would not be a mere Spiritual Strength. Instead, he would arrive alone!
The purple-clothed old man's eyebrows were knitting together when he saw the satisfied look on Yao Lao's face. For some unknown reason, his heart felt a slight discomfort that did not appear for many unknown years, it still caused him to feel a chill that seeped deep into his bones.
’’ Xiao Yan huh .. ’’
