Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

Three peopleOn the main street of Holy Pill City.

An ordinary carriage was heading towards the location of the spatial wormhole.

”Why are you coming along too?”

Shen Wen looked at Dan Chen, who was sitting next to Cao Ying. He had originally only planned to go to the Tagor Desert with Cao Ying.

And cultivate their relationship along the way.

He didn’t expect Cao Ying to bring Sister Dan Chen along. Hadn’t he just gotten jealous over Sister Dan Chen not long ago?

How were they now like sisters?

”Sister Dan Chen said she wanted to go out and see other places. Anyway, going out with us won’t be too dangerous.”

Cao Ying said with a smile, holding Dan Chen’s hand. As for why she brought Dan Chen along...

She was mainly worried that if it was just her and Shen Wen,

if something happened between them, she might not be able to stop it.

With Dan Chen there, at least Shen Wen would restrain himself a bit.

Hmph, who knew if this guy would suddenly kiss her again like last time.

”Alright then!”

Shen Wen could only nod. Dan Chen mumbled, ”Thank you, Brother Shen Wen.”

”It’s no trouble, but we might encounter danger outside. Is the Dan Family really so at ease with you going out?”

Shen Wen knew that Dan Chen was a treasure of the Dan Family, the most talented person of the younger generation in the Pill Tower in terms of alchemy. Of course, that was in the original work.

Now, it was naturally Shen Wen, but Dan Chen was also a Sixth-Rank Alchemist now.

”Grandpa said that as long as I follow you, nothing will happen...”

Dan Chen’s voice was a little shy. As long as they weren’t discussing pills, her personality was always like this.

”Alright.”

Regarding the matter of going out for experience,

Shen Wen had already spoken to Old Monster Lin, who agreed. Breaking through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong was not something that could be done overnight.

Some people were stuck at this bottleneck for an entire lifetime. Although the Pill Tower also had pills that could help one break through to Dou Zong,

using those pills would lock the Dou Practitioner’s potential.

Old Monster Lin naturally wouldn’t let Shen Wen use those pills, so he agreed to let him go out for experience. Of course, there were also Protectors secretly accompanying him.

It’s just that...

Unless it was a life-or-death crisis, these Protectors would not appear.

Moreover, Shen Wen also had Old Monster Lin’s token. As the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower, Old Monster Lin’s connections spanned the entire Fighting Qi Continent.

In necessary situations, and out of respect for Old Monster Lin, Shen Wen would not be in mortal danger.

”We’ll first use the spatial wormhole to teleport to Tianya City, and then travel from Tianbei City to the Tagor Desert.”

Cao Ying had already learned the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame from Shen Wen. It was in such a remote place.

The northwest part of the entire continent.

It made her wonder if Shen Wen was tricking her. Shen Wen had grown up in Central Plains, so how would he know that there was an abnormal flame in that place?

Shen Wen said he had seen it in an ancient text, and that the Green Lotus Core Flame would be born deep underground in extremely hot places, and desert terrain was often where the Green Lotus Core Flame was nurtured.

Cao Ying was only half-convinced. She even wanted to blurt out whether it was information left to him by his family.

But to avoid trouble, she didn’t say it.

Anyway, she also planned to go out and wander, so going there wouldn’t hurt.

”But why do we have to conceal our identities?”

Cao Ying sat in the simple carriage. As a genius who was nurtured by the top of the Cao Family since birth, this was her first time riding such a crude carriage.

This was Shen Wen’s request, saying that they needed to conceal their identities for this trip.

”Otherwise? The Pill Tower’s first, second, and third geniuses traveling together? Do you really think the Pill Tower has no enemies?”

”Traveling in such a high-profile manner, it would be funny if we were all taken out in one swoop.”

Shen Wen said calmly. The Pill Tower might seem unrivaled on the Fighting Qi Continent, but it wasn’t without enemies, such as the Hall of Souls.

The Hall of Souls had always wanted to completely bring the Pill Tower under its command, and because of that madman Hun Tiandi, who was constantly collecting the souls of powerful Alchemists.

He wanted to turn the Pill Tower into his own soul-harvesting ranch. If they were caught by the Hall of Souls during their trip,

whether it was to exchange for benefits with the Pill Tower or to brainwash and cultivate them into their own people, it would be of great benefit to the Hall of Souls.

This was also why they had mostly been active in the Pill Domain all these years.

”Alright.”

Cao Ying nodded. She naturally knew more, and even the Cao Family itself had enemies, so they indeed needed to be careful when traveling.

But she quickly thought, ”The Pill Tower’s first genius you mentioned wouldn’t be yourself, would it?”

”Otherwise? Who else can be a Peak Dou Huang and a Seventh-Rank Alchemist at eighteen?”

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

”Shameless!”

Cao Ying glared at Shen Wen. Dan Chen just watched the two of them talk with a smile, but she also confirmed one thing.

Shen Wen indeed had something special about him that could block her special soul power.

This made her much more relaxed; otherwise, she would have worried that her special ability might cause innocent killings if she went out.

”Put them on. Take them off when we reach a place where no one recognizes you!”

Shen Wen took out three cloaks that could block soul force and Dou Qi prying, and put one on himself first. Cao Ying and Dan Chen didn’t refuse either.

The loose cloaks enveloped Cao Ying’s graceful figure, which could also avoid a lot of trouble.

The three got out of the carriage. Their attire wasn’t unusual in Holy Pill City; on the contrary, it was quite normal.

In the huge square of Holy Pill City, the spatial wormhole slowly rotated, continuously emitting astonishing spatial fluctuations.

Shen Wen took out a small silver boat. One was allowed to use their own spatial boat in the spatial wormhole, but a fee needed to be paid... Cao Ying was controlling the spatial boat, and Dan Chen was chatting nearby.

Meanwhile, Shen Wen sat cross-legged at the bow of the spatial boat, using the affinity for space amplified by the tai xu ancient dragon essence blood, which he had refined not long ago, to comprehend spatial power.

”You fellow, do you have no sense of chivalry?!”

Cao Ying complained.

This guy started cultivating as soon as he got on the boat, actually making her control the spatial boat. She had never had to do anything herself when traveling, not in all her life.

Shen Wen just closed his eyes to comprehend. Although he felt that with the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art, the devouring ancestral talisman, and his Peak Dou Huang cultivation,

he shouldn’t be completely powerless against a Dou Zong.

But a Dou Zong’s control over spatial power was a different kind of means.

He still needed to break through to Dou Zong as soon as possible.

Comprehending spatial power in the spatial tunnel was the best. Dan Chen heard Cao Ying’s words and asked cautiously, ”Sister Ying, should I do it?”

”Hmph, it’s fine. I’ll do it.”

Cao Ying just wanted to be sarcastic with Shen Wen, but who knew this guy would turn into a blockhead again.

Couldn’t he just politely ask her to help control the spatial boat?

If so, she definitely wouldn’t be angry.

”I’m comprehending spatial power to break through to Dou Zong.” Shen Wen opened his eyes and said calmly.

”Dou Zong?”
