The Battle Through Heaven
Deep Retreat
A black figure flew over the vast mountain forest in a lightning-like manner. The pressure brought about by flying at high speed caused a long gap to form over the sea of trees below. It was a long while later before the crack slowly disappeared.
That black figure was naturally the one who had helped the Bloody Battle Mercenary Company resolve some issues. That Xiao Yan. He was not worried that/it He Gan would secretly use underhanded tactics. This was because he knew that/it was all useless tactics in front of absolute power. The small He clan might have a reputation in the northwestern part of the empire, but from the point of view of the Yan Alliance, it was merely a faction that could barely catch the eye of the alliance. There was no need for too much effort to eliminate the He clan.
Therefore, Xiao Yan calmly left after settling the matter. He did not leave anything behind when he left this time. In the end, he did not have a deep friendship with Ka Gang and the others. The kindness of providing Xiao Yan a residence back then had already been repaid after Xiao Yan had saved them twice.
Many thoughts flashed within Xiao Yan's heart as his flying speed suddenly rose. His speed finally reduced after about ten plus minutes. The fire wings on his back flapped and his body crashed into a mountain valley hidden between several mountain peaks.
Xiao Yan felt a cold gaze sweeping over as his body entered the valley. The gaze only became slightly warmer after sweeping Xiao Yan's face.
That gaze of course belonged to Medusa, who remained on guard in this place. Hence, Xiao Yan did not mind it. His body moved and by the time he appeared, he was already beside that enormous purple-colored light cocoon.
” Have you solved your problem? ” Medusa raised her eyes and randomly asked when she saw Xiao Yan appear.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He roughly mentioned the matter from before. However, Medusa did not show much interest in this. It was only one Dou Wang and the mercenary company were mediocre, therefore, it was having a hard time causing him to feel curious.
” Your aura fluctuation is becoming bigger and bigger. The Dou Qi in your body also repeatedly seeped out. From the looks of it, you should hurry up and do a retreat ... ’’ Medusa was clearly more concerned with the situation of Xiao Yan's body compared to the problem. He frowned while talking. From the appearance of his eyesight, the current Xiao Yan was like a sieve full of holes. Dou Qi repeatedly seeped out from these holes.
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and nodded. The aura he released earlier caused the Dou Qi within his body to become increasingly uncontrollable. Moreover, the most problematic thing was that/it natural energy started flowing endlessly into his body. This caused the inside of his body to become even more chaotic.
’I'm pressed for time and plan on starting a deep retreat now. During my retreat, I will close the mountain cave. I will leave Zi Yan for you. ’’Xiao Yan mused for a moment before immediately speaking.
’’ Yes. ’’ Medusa nods slightly. He immediately hesitated for a moment and said, ‘’I have not returned to the Snake-People race during this trip back to the Jia Ma Empire. I'll probably return to the tribe after coming out of your retreat. ’
Xiao Yan was shocked when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment before probing, ” Do you need me to come back with you? ’
’’ No need. Humans are not welcomed by our Snake-People Race. It is inevitable that/it will have unnecessary problems if you come. ” The expression Medusa moved in front of her mouth let out a faint rejection.
Xiao Yan rubbed his head in embarrassment when he saw this. He said, ” Then, let's forget it. That ... I will first pack up the mountain cave and will start the retreat for a while. I will leave Zi Yan for you. ’
Medusa lowered her chin.
Xiao Yan did not delay any longer when he saw him nod. The chaotic Dou Qi within his body caused him to feel extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, his body flashed and he rushed into the mountain cave. After which, he tidied up this place where he would do a long retreat amidst the low explosive sound.
Medusa sent Xiao Yan into the mountain cave with her eyes. He involuntarily clenched his hands and his eyes changed rapidly. A moment later, he sighed helplessly. This person seemed to be a little afraid to follow him to the Snake-People Tribe …
The tidying up of the mountain cave lasted for about ten plus minutes before it ended. After which, Xiao Yan, ready to be covered with rock dust, coughed and walked out. He arrived at the place where the large cocoon was purple in color and gently patted it. She laughed, ’’ Little girl, I will also do a retreat and will invite your Cai Ling jie to take care of you during this period of time. I hope you've completed your evolution when I exit my retreat. Otherwise, I will leave you in this wilderness and let the other Magical Beasts consume you like a tonic.
The light cocoon suddenly became a little brighter when Xiao Yan's voice sounded. It was as if the little fellow inside was against it.
Xiao Yan patted the cocoon of light once more. He turned to Medusa and said with a slight smile, ” I'm afraid this will be difficult for you this time. I also didn't realize how long I would take during this breakthrough. If I guess correctly, it will take at least half a year. ’
” Calm, it is only half a year .. ” Medusa put away the black hair on her forehead with her hands and spoke faintly, ” As long as no special situation occurs, the, I'll take care of you two until you make it out. ”
Xiao Yan nodded slowly when he heard this. He took a deep breath and cupped his hands respectfully to Medusa. He suddenly turned around and walked into the mountain cave. A moment later, his body entered the darkness within the cave. After the loss of his body, the mountain cave suddenly let out a loud sound. Immediately, a huge pile of rocks rolled over and fell, firmly blocking the entrance to the cave.
Medusa's indifferent expression finally revealed loneliness as she looked at the entrance of the cave that had turned into a pile of rubble. No one knew when Xiao Yan would be able to leave after doing this retreat. Medusa was silent for a moment before sighing calmly. He softly muttered, ” Hopefully, you will be able to make a breakthrough successfully .. ’
The mountain cave was not as dark as one would imagine. Several moon rocks have been placed on the cave walls. A faint soft light spread throughout the cave. It was not too glaring and not too dark.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the green stone. This green stone clearly contained some jade shards and felt cold as he sat on it. It contains certain benefits in ensuring one's vigilance.
Xiao Yan glanced at this green stone before he suddenly recalled the green-colored fire lotus back then. Training on it not only allowed one to increase one's absorption speed but also had the benefit of early refinement. It was truly the ultimate aide in training. Unfortunately, it had been destroyed by ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ while he was underground.
Xiao Yan laughed bitterly. He let out a long sigh before his hand immediately formed a seal. In just the time it took to breathe, he had entered his training state unhindered.
The situation within his body appeared in his mind once he entered the training state. He looked towards the torrent of Dou Qi galloping within his veins in a chaotic manner. He helplessly shook his head. It was fortunate that this body had undergone the refinement of spiritual medicines and ‘Heavenly Fire’ many times. Otherwise, the Dou Qi rebellion of this degree would at least cause him to feel pain deep within his bones.
Xiao Yan slowly threw a disturbance from his mind as his mind began to manage the Dou Qi rebellion within his body. With the help of his powerful Spiritual Strength, this Dou Qi, which surged randomly, was chased into several Qi Paths in a short period of time. The Dou Qi follows the route of ‘Flame Mantra’ and is quickly circulated. While it was circulating, a strange feeling, which seemed to be within his spirit, slowly appeared in Xiao Yan's heart.
The natural energy surrounding the outside of the cave began to surge wildly when this unique feeling had invaded Xiao Yan's heart. It quickly rotated before forming a small spiral funnel in the air above Xiao Yan's head. The smaller side connected to the Xiao Yan temple back then poured enormous wild and violent energy into Xiao Yan's body.
Xiao Yan immediately frowned in his heart after pouring out a large amount of energy. The energy density within the valley somewhat exceeded his expectations. It was unexpected that/it was this strong at the beginning.
Xiao Yan sucked in a deep breath. His mind moved, and a jade-green flame suddenly appeared without any prior warning, completely enveloping his body. After the jade-green flame appeared, it did not have time to emit any temperature as it began to sway slowly under Xiao Yan's orders. Finally, the green jade flame gradually turned into an invisible flame. That's a surprise ‘Fallen Heart Flame’.
The ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ fully wrapped around Xiao Yan's body, appearing like layers of flame clothing. The wild speed, the violent energy from the surroundings, which had flowed wildly into Xiao Yan's body, immediately stopped. Under the protection of ‘Fallen Heart Flame’, that slightly speckled natural energy will be refined once by the special effects of ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ after passing through it. In this way, the pressure within Xiao Yan's body was immediately greatly reduced.
Energy whistled within the mountain cave. The strands of colorful splotches of energy intertwined with each other. Bright and beautiful colors radiated inside the cave, making it look very beautiful. On the edge of the countless energy light was Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged.
The progress from a Dou Wang to a Dou Huang was no ordinary matter. Advancement to this class required an incredible amount of incredible energy, just like Zi Yan. Such a large amount of energy is naturally not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. Therefore, one could only rely on the energy accumulated for a long time to complete the transformation process.
Xiao Yan currently already possessed the qualifications to advance to the Dou Huang class. Therefore, his current only required sufficient energy for him to advance. After he completed his energy gathering, advancing to a Dou Huang was an easily achievable problem!
The only drawback is that/it this progress will take quite a long time .. If you find an error (broken link, non-standard content, etc.), the, Please let us know so that we can fix it as soon as possible.
