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

Chapter 307 Nine-Colored Origin Stone, Metamorphosis into Dragon and PhoenixCai Lin’s brows furrowed. ”Husband?”

Shen Wen sighed and finally moved.

He raised his hand, and his palm lit up.

A crimson phantom emerged from behind him; it was the Flame Ancestral Symbol.

As soon as that phantom appeared, the surrounding temperature soared instantly, and the air began to distort.

The Flame Ancestral Symbol was the source of all fires in the Tian Xuan Continent.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, melting the Dragon Phoenix crystal layer would require a Heavenly Flame ranked in the top ten.

But for him, the Flame Ancestral Symbol was enough. This thing could command all fires under heaven; a mere Dragon Phoenix crystal layer was nothing to worry about.

With a thought from Shen Wen, the Flame Ancestral Symbol suddenly brightened.

A crimson light surged from the talisman and fell upon the crystal layer on Zi Yan’s body.

As soon as the crystal layer touched this light, it immediately began to melt, turning into streaks of gold-purple energy that surged back into Zi Yan’s body.

At the same time, he raised his other hand, and the Fallen Heart Flame surged out, completely enveloping the mass of crystals.

”Hurry and absorb this power!” Shen Wen said in a deep voice.

Zi Yan’s whole body shook, and she immediately closed her eyes, frantically circulating the Fighting Qi within her body to absorb the re-entering energy.

The light of the Flame Ancestral Symbol grew brighter and brighter, and the speed at which the crystal layer melted also increased.

However, there were simply too many and too thick crystal layers; they couldn’t be completely melted in a short time.

Shen Wen looked at Cai Lin. ”Go find Cao Ying and bring the heaven burning cauldron here.”

Cai Lin nodded, handed Shen Yinian to Xiao Yi Xian, turned around, and walked away quickly.

A moment later, she returned with the heaven burning cauldron.

With a wave of Shen Wen’s hand, the heaven burning cauldron flew into the air and landed steadily in front of Zi Yan.

With another thought, a wisp of the Fallen Heart Flame separated and fell into the cauldron, heating the body of the cauldron until it was glowing red.

”Zi Yan, get into the cauldron to refine it,” Shen Wen said.

Zi Yan opened her eyes, looked at the heaven burning cauldron, and then at Shen Wen without any hesitation.

She struggled to free herself from the melting crystal layer and leaped into the heaven burning cauldron.

The cauldron shook slightly and then returned to silence.

Shen Wen raised his hand, and the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol surged into the cauldron, intertwining with the Fallen Heart Flame to help Zi Yan refine the remaining crystal energy.

The backyard fell silent.

Only the faint sound of burning flames remained.

Cai Lin walked to Shen Wen’s side and said softly, ”Is she okay?”

Shen Wen nodded, his gaze fixed on the heaven burning cauldron.

”She’s fine. She’s just suffering a little bit.”

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. ”This girl is just too impatient.”

Time passed by imperceptibly.

In the backyard, the flames burned day and night without ceasing.

The heaven burning cauldron stood there quietly, its body heated red by the Fallen Heart Flame, while the phantom of the Flame Ancestral Symbol hovered above the cauldron’s mouth, continuously injecting power into it.

Gold-purple light seeped out from inside the cauldron, reflecting a brilliant radiance throughout the entire backyard.

Shen Wen sat cross-legged three zhang away from the cauldron, motionless.

He had been sitting there for a month.

During this month, he had hardly closed his eyes.

The Flame Ancestral Symbol required his continuous control, and the Fallen Heart Flame needed his constant maintenance; a slight lapse could lead to trouble for Zi Yan.

But Shen Wen wasn’t idle either.

While his body couldn’t move, his mind could.

During this month, he had mentally simulated almost everything he could deduce.

He had repeatedly deduced the Pill Formula for the zun ji pill countless times until he had mastered every key point.

If he were given the Materials now, he could refine it even with his eyes closed.

He had also simulated the techniques from the Supreme Alchemy Art in his mind countless times.

Those skills that originally required practice to master were now thoroughly ingrained in his heart.

He also took the time to study several sets of complex Formations from the Detailed Explanation of Shangqing Formations.

Especially those spatial-type Formations; he pondered them over and over, finding them more exquisite the more he thought about them.

The bodhi heart combined with the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, plus the deduction abilities of the Future Non-Existence Sutra, made his mental deductions almost equivalent to actual practice.

After this month, his Alchemy and Formation attainments had reached a new level.

Of course, he also kept a constant eye on Zi Yan’s changes.

That girl’s cultivation had shot up like a rocket during the month.

At first, she was a One-Star Dou Zong. Three days later, a Two-Star Dou Zong. Seven days later, a Three-Star Dou Zong.

Half a month later, a Five-Star Dou Zong. Twenty days later, a Seven-Star Dou Zong.

Now that a month had passed, the aura on her body was already approaching Dou Zun.

Every time Shen Wen sensed that aura, he couldn’t help but marvel in his heart: This is a Demonic Beast for you.

Humans Cultivate step by step, stumbling along the way.

Demonic Beasts, on the other hand, as long as their Bloodline evolves, their cultivation shoots up as easily as drinking water.

Especially Zi Yan, with her Ancient Void Dragon Royal Clan Bloodline, further fused with the power of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix—it was simply like having a cheat code.

During this month, it wasn’t as if nothing happened.

Half a month ago, Cao Ying had come to find him in a hurry.

”The nine-colored origin stone has been found,” she said, getting straight to the point.

Shen Wen raised an eyebrow.

The nine-colored origin stone was the key item that could allow a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python to evolve into a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python.

This thing was extremely rare. Cao Ying had been looking for it ever since she heard Shen Wen mention it, but there had been no news until now.

”Where was it found?”

”An underground trade fair.” Cao Ying took out a fist-sized stone from her storage ring and showed it to him. ”The seller didn’t know its value and only thought it was an ordinary seven-colored Ore, but I had already given out orders.”

”It was bought very quickly.”

The stone was nine-colored all over, with a faint light flowing through it. Shen Wen took one look and confirmed it was indeed a real nine-colored origin stone.

”Send it to Cai Lin,” he said.

Cao Ying nodded and turned to leave.

Later, Shen Wen heard from Xiao Yi Xian that after Cai Lin received the nine-colored origin stone, she began her secluded cultivation to refine it.

The process of a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python transforming into a Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python took time, but once successful, Cai Lin’s cultivation and Bloodline would undergo a qualitative leap.

Good things come in pairs.

Shen Wen withdrew his thoughts, and his gaze fell back on the heaven burning cauldron.

The energy fluctuations inside the cauldron began to change today.

The previously churning and boiling aura now gradually stabilized.

The gold-purple light no longer seeped outward but began to converge inward.

Shen Wen knew it was almost over.

He braced himself and increased the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol and the Fallen Heart Flame a few more notches to help Zi Yan complete the final step.

Another three days passed.

At noon on this day, a low boom suddenly came from within the heaven burning cauldron.

The sound was like a dragon’s roar and also like a phoenix’s cry, with extremely strong penetration, causing the entire backyard to tremble slightly.

Shen Wen’s expression turned serious, and he immediately withdrew the Flame Ancestral Symbol and the Fallen Heart Flame.

In the next moment, golden light burst from the mouth of the cauldron.

A slender silhouette slowly rose from the cauldron.

It was a woman.

She wore a purple-gold dress embroidered with Dragon Phoenix patterns, which were so lifelike they seemed to be living creatures.

The dress fluttered gently with her movements, exuding an indescribable aura of nobility.

The woman was tall and well-proportioned.

Her long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, past her slender waist, and all the way to her firm, shapely buttocks.
