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

Dou Zong’s underlings head to Maple City.Shen Wen carefully searched the surroundings of the small space once more.

Apart from the Seventh-Rank medicinal ingredients collected just moments ago, he truly found nothing else worth noting.

”It seems that Zhu Kun did not anticipate back then that he would be trapped in the Tuo She Ancient Emperors Mansion for so long.”

He understood in his heart.

When Zhu Kun left, he likely assumed that someone from the Void Ancient Dragon Clan would soon come to look after Zi Yan, or that Zi Yan herself would be able to discover this space.

He could not have imagined that after he left, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan would fall into long-term internal strife, with no one left to care for the Dragon Emperor Bloodline drifting outside.

Therefore, apart from some medicinal ingredients used for growth, this space contained no more direct Legacy or tokens.

The better medicinal ingredients from earlier years had likely long been discovered and consumed by Xiong Tao.

Shen Wen did not linger any longer and, taking Xiong Tao with him, exited the small space that was on the verge of collapse.

The light membrane rippled, and the figures of the two reappeared in the depths of the cave.

Cai Lin and the others, who had been waiting outside, immediately looked over.

Cai Lin looked over with her purple eyes, asking silently with her gaze.

Shen Wen nodded at her and said clearly:

”It has been found; it is indeed the bodhi transformation saliva.”

”That’s great!”

Xiao Yi Xian could not help but exclaim softly, a bright radiance instantly blooming on her face.

Cao Ying also smiled and patted her shoulder:

”You can rest easy now, little sister Xian’er.”

Dan Chen and Qing Lin also revealed joyful smiles.

”Xiong Tao.”

”Your Excellency, please give your orders!” Xiong Tao lowered its head in a hurry.

”The potential of your Bloodline is quite good.” Shen Wen examined the seven silver markings on its chest. ”If you can activate nine Dragon markings, you can evolve into a ’Supreme Dragon Bear,’ possessing both the strength of an Ancient Giant Bear and the Bloodline talent of a Void Ancient Dragon. Your future will be limitless.”

Xiong Tao was a bit dazed by what it heard, yet vaguely excited.

”Your Excellency... what do you mean?”

”Are you willing to leave with me?” Shen Wen asked directly. ”If you stay here, I fear you will find it difficult to make any progress for the rest of your life. By my side, you might have a chance to go further.”

Xiong Tao’s massive body visibly stiffened.

It had reigned Supreme in this mountain range for hundreds of years and had long been accustomed to freedom.

To ask it to leave its territory and follow a human...

”I... I...” Xiong Tao made a vague sound in its throat, its eyes struggling.

Shen Wen saw its hesitation and added calmly:

”I am a Seventh-Rank Alchemist.”

Xiong Tao jerked its head up.

”If you follow by my side, in the future, I might be able to refine some Medicinal Pill that helps stimulate your Bloodline. Activating nine Dragon markings to become a true Supreme Dragon Bear is not necessarily just a fantasy.”

This sentence was like the final blow, completely shattering Xiong Tao’s hesitation.

A Seventh-Rank Alchemist!

Able to refine Medicinal Pill that could help it break through its Bloodline shackles!

”I... I am willing!”

Xiong Tao no longer hesitated and heavily knocked its massive head against the ground.

”Little Bear is willing to follow Your Excellency! I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Shen Wen smiled slightly.

”Good. Then pack up and follow me.”

Xiong Tao hurriedly acknowledged, transformed into human form, and turned to run back into the depths of the cave. Before long, it came out carrying a tattered animal skin bundle.

Inside were the few belongings it had saved up.

The group left the cave and returned to where the flying boat was docked.

Shen Wen maneuvered the flying boat to rise slowly into the air.

”Next, we go to Maple City.”

The flying boat turned, transformed into a streak of light, and swept towards the central region of the Black-Corner Region.

...

The boat traveled steadily.

Shen Wen sat quietly in the cabin, repeatedly deducing the refining technique for the simplified poison pill in his mind.

The bodhi transformation saliva was already in hand, and the remaining auxiliary ingredients were also ready; in fact, he could try to start the furnace now.

But for the sake of caution, he still decided to head to Jia Nan Academy.

The Fallen Heart Flame beneath the Sky Burning Qi Refining Tower possessed the most Yang and pure Heavenly Flame energy, which would be perfect for assisting in suppressing the Calamity Poison Body during the refining process, increasing the chances of successfully forming the Medicinal Pill.

The distance was not far, and the silhouette of Maple City soon appeared in his field of vision.

Compared to the grandeur of Black Emperor City, Maple City was much smaller in scale, but a faint medicinal fragrance always lingered in the air, revealing the identity of the Revered Master of this place.

The flying boat did not land but flew straight towards the most imposing complex of buildings in the city.

”Who dares to trespass in Maple City!”

A sharp shout erupted suddenly.

Several figures soared into the air, their Dou Qi forming wings, blocking the front of the flying boat. The person leading them had a vigorous aura and was clearly at the Peak Dou Huang level.

”This is the residence of the Medicine Emperor Han Feng! Stop immediately and state your name!”

On the streets of Maple City below, the crowd stopped and looked up, their faces showing astonishment.

Someone actually dared to barge directly into the Medicine Emperor’s mansion?

Han Feng was not only a Peak Dou Huang powerhouse but also a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, holding a revered status in the Black-Corner Region.

The flying boat did not pause at all.

The next moment.

A massive palm, formed from thick, earthy-yellow Dou Qi, suddenly reached out from within the flying boat!

The five fingers of the giant palm spread wide, blocking the sky and sun, and with an irresistible, majestic pressure, it grabbed towards the group of interceptors in the air.

”What?!”

”Retreat quickly!”

Amidst the exclamations, that Dou Huang and several Dou Wangs had no time to dodge and were firmly grasped in the palm of the hand, like insects trapped in amber, unable to move.

The giant palm flicked casually.

”Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Several figures were thrown far away like tattered sandbags, smashing through several buildings, sending dust and smoke rising.

Immediately after, the earthy-yellow giant palm turned in mid-air and, without mercy, slammed down towards the most magnificent and secluded residence of Han Feng below!

The next moment, from within the ruins, a deep blue flame soared into the sky, transforming into a fire screen that forcibly resisted the earthy-yellow giant palm crushing down.

A figure flew up into mid-air following this.

It was a young man wearing an Alchemist robe. His face was handsome, but his expression was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger. It was none other than the Medicine Emperor Han Feng.

He looked up and stared fixedly at the hovering flying boat, his voice filled with suppressed anger:

”Who exactly are you? I, Han Feng, ask myself, I have no enmity with Your Excellency. Why destroy my mansion and injure my people?”

From within the flying boat, Shen Wen’s voice came out calmly, echoing clearly over Maple City:

”With someone like you, there is no need to reason.”

Before the voice had even faded, an invisible Space Power suddenly descended, like the sturdiest shackle, instantly locking Han Feng’s entire body firmly in place!

Han Feng’s expression changed drastically. He felt as if the air around him had solidified into an iron plate, and even the circulation of his Dou Qi became incredibly sluggish.

”Space Power... Dou Zong?!” He exclaimed, his heart churning with stormy waves. When did such a powerhouse come to the Black-Corner Region?

A strong desire to survive made him immediately hiss and shout:

”Wait! I am the Personal Disciple of Venerable Yao, Yao Chen! My Revered Master is famous across the continent, on good terms with Wind Venerable of Central Plains, and has deep ties with the Pill Tower! If you kill me, my Revered Master will never let you go! The Pill Tower will not sit idly by either!”

He attempted to bring out his greatest backer.

The voice that came from the flying boat, however, made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

”Venerable Yao?” The voice carried undisguised sarcasm. ”Are you talking about that Yao Chen who was plotted against by his Rebellious Disciple in collusion with the Hall of Souls, his Physical Body destroyed, and only a remnant soul left?”

”You, this beast who murdered his Revered Master, are you even worthy of mentioning his name?”

”Unfortunately, a few days ago, I just met him.”

Han Feng’s pupils shrank, the color drained from his face instantly, and endless terror surged up.

He knew! He knew everything!
