Chapter 364: Dou Zun Spiritual Realm Great Perfection

On the highest open-air platform of the main pavilion of Xingyun Pavilion, two men stood side by side. The height here was enough for them to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the entire Xingyun Pavilion.

On the left, there was a man in a green robe, playing with a folding fan embroidered with stars. It was Master Feng. There was a relaxed smile on his handsome face. It was obvious that he was in a very happy mood at the moment.

The man next to Master Feng had his white hair naturally draped over his shoulders, not deliberately tied up, and fluttering gently in the wind.

He was dressed in white, handsome and elegant, and looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. People were unconsciously attracted by his appearance.

He exudes a unique temperament, with the vitality of a young person and a calmness beyond his age.

Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, giving people a warm and friendly feeling.

The man stood there, without any trace of cultivation, and looked like an ordinary person you could see on the street. Apart from his handsome appearance, he was so ordinary that people almost ignored his existence.

However, for those masters who have truly cultivated to a certain level, they can truly feel how unfathomable this man's strength is. He has reached the supreme realm that can shake the heavens and the earth and move mountains and seas.

This person is none other than Yao Chen, the famous Medicine Master in Zhongzhou, who has now miraculously resurrected. Perhaps, with his current status and strength, when he appears in the public eye again, it would be more appropriate to call him the Medicine Master.

Standing at the highest point of Xingyun Pavilion, Yao Chen looked down at the prosperous scene below, nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "A year has passed, and the development of Xingyun Pavilion is really booming. Many of the powerful people who once left have returned to our ranks."

Yao Chen turned to Venerable Feng with a gratified smile on his face, "Feng Xian, this is all thanks to the careful planning of you, a management expert. It seems to be a wise decision to hand over Xingyun Pavilion to you."

Venerable Feng gently waved the fan in his hand, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said jokingly: "If you hadn't insisted on traveling around and left this mess to me, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Yao Chen smiled gently, not feeling awkward at all, but rather looking quite comfortable: "After all, I don't have much talent for these management affairs, and people like you are more suitable to handle them."

He changed the subject and asked curiously, "By the way, how are the effects of the pills I gave you before? Did you feel any discomfort after taking them?"

"Your alchemy skills are naturally top-notch. The pills you prepared for me have extraordinary effects. My cultivation has successfully broken through to the five-star Dou Zun. Moreover, I feel good after taking them, without any discomfort." Speaking of this, Feng Zun's face bloomed with a satisfied smile, "You are worthy of being the "No. 1 Alchemist in Zhongzhou" back then. You can cultivate a person with ordinary talent like me to this level. You are the only one in the entire continent who has this ability."

"Don't worry, I'll leave the affairs of Xingyun Pavilion to you. As for your cultivation, you don't have to worry too much. I promise you, as long as you continue to help me manage Xingyun Pavilion, I am confident that I can help you reach the peak of Dou Zun." Yao Chen responded confidently, his smile revealing an unparalleled calmness.

Yao Chen's words were relaxed and firm, and he obviously had absolute confidence in his own strength and alchemy skills. Even if Master Feng's talent was not the best, with his help, it would not be difficult to train him to become a peak Dou Zun.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xingyun Pavilion for you, and you can just concentrate on handling your own affairs." Venerable Feng responded softly and did not object to these words.

Then, Venerable Feng asked curiously, "By the way, why did you suddenly get involved in the affairs of Burning Flame Valley recently? Do you have any special plans? Although there is no conflict between our Xingyun Pavilion and Burning Flame Valley, the relationship is not that close either."

Yao Chen smiled lightly and explained to Venerable Feng, "The Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations of the Burning Flame Valley is very suitable for Xiao Ling to practice. This incident is just a good opportunity for him to obtain this secret method. He is about to come out of seclusion, and I will let him go to the Burning Flame Valley at that time. Through this incident, he will successfully learn the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations."

As he spoke, Yao Chen cast his gaze towards the sky above the Xingyun Pavilion, with a hint of expectation in his smile: "This secret method will be of great benefit to his cultivation. I believe he can seize this opportunity."

……

In a quiet courtyard in Xingyun Pavilion, Qinglin and Xiao Yixian sat beside a stone table, surrounded by colorful blooming flowers, adding a bit of vitality to the courtyard.

Qing Lin's eyes lingered on the flowers, but her mind was obviously not on appreciating them. She frowned slightly and asked in a depressed tone, "It's been almost a year, why hasn't the young master come out of seclusion yet?"

Little Medical Fairy seemed more calm. She smiled gently, trying to ease Qing Lin's worries: "Breaking through a great realm is not an easy thing. Even for ordinary people, it takes at least a few years to advance from Dou Zong to Dou Zun. It's normal for Xiao Ling to take a little longer."

Although her heart was also filled with longing for Xiao Ling, she did not express her emotions like Qing Lin, but comforted Qing Lin in a relaxed tone.

"Maybe, but if the young master doesn't end his retreat, what am I going to do about my plans to leave?" Qing Lin whispered to himself, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "I can't find a suitable snake warrior to subdue here."

She had always wanted to help Xiao Ling, but her cultivation level could never keep up with his. Just when she felt that she had finally caught up, Xiao Ling was about to break through again. She remembered that more than a year ago, he had easily defeated a two-star Dou Zun.

This made Qinglin feel under great pressure. Although her cultivation speed was already quite amazing, she still felt a little overwhelmed in the face of Xiao Ling's amazing progress.

After hearing Qinglin's words, Xiao Yixian could only smile helplessly. Her own situation was not much better. Thanks to the rich medicinal materials in Xiao Ling's inventory, she was able to prepare various poisons and successfully condensed a poison pill, which made her cultivation level now surpass Xiao Ling by a lot.

But she also felt that since she broke through to the Dou Zun realm, the effects of those poisons began to gradually weaken.

She knew very well that the Evil Poison Body would eventually need to rely on swallowing poison to improve its cultivation. However, in the Douqi Continent, poisons that could have an effect on the Dou Zun realm were not common, let alone poisons that could threaten the Dou Sheng, which were even rarer.

What's even more frustrating is that the effects of the poisons she has already swallowed are gradually decreasing after repeated use.

Little Medical Immortal sighed softly and said to herself, "It seems that it is time to go find the ancient tomb that Yao Lao mentioned before. Otherwise, the speed of improving my cultivation will only get slower and slower."

Xiao Yixian thought silently in her heart, then turned to Qinglin and said softly: "If you want to go out, just go directly. Your Green Snake Three Flower Pupils need to devour the fighting spirit of powerful snakes in order to practice faster."

Qing Lin heard this, propped up her chin with her little hand, and mumbled in response: "I still want to wait until the young master comes out of retreat before telling him. He said before he came out of retreat that he would take me out for a trip after he came out... and Master himself wouldn't let me go to the Beast Territory alone. He would only take me to those places in Zhongzhou and catch a few snakes for me to tame."

Little Medical Fairy was about to say something else, but suddenly, as if she sensed some change, she stood up abruptly with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

At the same time, in the Xingyun Pavilion, the idle chat between Feng Zun and Yao Chen came to an abrupt end. They turned to the direction of Xiao Ling's retreat at the same time, and their eyes seemed to penetrate the space.

Yao Chen raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth: "Haha, it seems that Xiao Ling is finally coming out of seclusion..."

……

Deep in the Tianxing Mountains, there is a hidden cave that usually coexists harmoniously with the surrounding mountains and forests, peaceful and tranquil. But today, this cave has become the focus of a strange phenomenon between heaven and earth.

The birds and animals in the forest, which were originally leisurely and free, now seemed to be frightened by something and fled everywhere, replacing the tranquility around them with chaos.

The mountain where the cave was located was shaking only slightly at first, but soon the shaking became violent. From the inside of the cave, a light began to seep out, gradually increasing in color, flashing a mysterious and dazzling light. Soon, the space around the cave began to distort, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, rippling with layers of strange waves, and these ripples continued to spread outward. A low roar came from the air, as if the space itself was also suffering from some kind of severe pain.

From a distance, the mountain where the cave was located was surrounded by circles of halos, which were filled with surging energy. The clouds in the sky began to gather, and the originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy, and lightning flashed faintly in the clouds.

When this aura gathered to an incredible degree, a thick beam of light shot up from the cave and straight into the sky.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the space seemed to be torn into tiny cracks. When the beam of light exploded in the sky, it turned into a brilliant light, illuminating the entire mountain forest, as bright as day.

As the light column gradually dissipated, a blue-haired young man wearing blue and gold tights slowly walked out of it and stood in the void. His steps were firm and calm, and every step seemed to resonate subtly with the surrounding energy of heaven and earth.

Behind him, a ring of flames suddenly appeared. This ring was divided into four layers. The inner layer was golden flames, like the rising sun, bright and noble; the next layer was blue flames, like a green lotus emerging from water, elegant and refined; the outer layer was brown flames, like the thickness of the earth, steady and solid; the outermost layer was blue flames, deep as the sea, mysterious and unpredictable.

At the intersection of the four layers of flames, the invisible and colorless Fallen Heart Flame can be vaguely seen. They are like invisible ropes, tightly tying these powerful fire forces together.

Xiao Ling slowly spread his hands and took a deep breath of the fresh air. After nearly a year of closed-door training, he now felt as if he had been reborn.

Now, he could clearly feel the vast sea of ​​Dou Qi in his body. His strength had truly broken through the shackles of Dou Zong and reached the Dou Zun realm that countless people dreamed of.

Even in the Zhongzhou continent where there are many strong people, those who can reach the Dou Zun realm are undoubtedly standing at the top of Zhongzhou. Any one of them is capable of founding a sect and becoming a hegemon on the Zhongzhou continent.

And now, Xiao Ling has truly entered this awe-inspiring realm. Who would have thought that a young man of only twenty years old has reached a height that many people would never reach in their entire lives.

Moreover, during this period of closed-door cultivation, Xiao Ling finally swallowed a "Purple Spirit Heart and Soul Pill" that he had been keeping and not willing to use. This time, his soul realm directly climbed to the spiritual realm of great perfection. From then on, refining the eighth-grade high-level pill was no longer a problem for him.

Exhaling a long breath, Xiao Ling slowly calmed down his excitement, and then began to take back the surging breath released during the breakthrough into his body bit by bit.

As he gradually restrained his fighting spirit, the originally blazing flame halo behind him began to dim slowly. Finally, the flames turned into colorful energy dots, like stars, and gently merged into his body.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling's mind changed, and the Heavenly Demon Puppet that was in seclusion in the valley to protect Xiao Ling seemed to have obeyed the call and was instantly put into the depths of his storage ring.

Everything was packed up, and Xiao Ling was preparing to use the power of space to tear the void apart, leave the valley, and return to Xingyun Pavilion.

However, when he tried to sense the space of the astral plane, he found that the previously clear boundaries had become blurred, as if obscured by some force.

"What's going on? Could it be that during the time I was in seclusion, something happened in Xingyun Pavilion that I didn't know about?" Xiao Ling frowned slightly, and he talked to himself with a hint of light-hearted curiosity in his tone.

Before Xiao Ling decided to go into seclusion, in order to prevent others from noticing the secret that he was about to break through to the Dou Zun level, he deliberately chose to leave the space where the Xingyun Pavilion was located and found a secluded place deep in the Tianxing Mountains to go into seclusion.

After all, with the Sky Demon Puppet with the strength of a six-star Dou Zun guarding by his side, there would naturally be no accidents during Xiao Ling's retreat and training.

The space where the Xingyun Pavilion was located was not as airtight as those spaces opened up by true Dou Sheng masters. Moreover, Xiao Ling's control over the power of space was already far superior to that of cultivators of the same level, and now he had successfully broken through to the Dou Zun realm, and his control over the power of space was even more powerful.

Logically speaking, as long as Xiao Ling mastered the coordinates of that space, he could now open up a temporary space channel without any effort and directly enter the Xingyun Pavilion.

However, now that Xiao Ling has ended his retreat and successfully broken through to the Dou Zun realm, it seems that something happened in the Xingyun Pavilion that he was unaware of. These changes made it impossible for him to tear the space as expected and directly enter the space where the Xingyun Pavilion was located even though he had broken through.

Xiao Ling shook his head and decided not to dwell on this issue. He planned to fly directly back to the space where Xingyun Pavilion was located to see for himself what happened. After all, sometimes seeing with one's own eyes is more direct and effective than imagining.

Suddenly, just as Xiao Ling was about to move, a space crack suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. The crack quickly expanded and eventually formed a stable space channel.

Seeing this situation, at first, Xiao Ling thought that someone had noticed that he had come out of seclusion and was planning to tear the space apart to find him, which immediately made Xiao Ling alert.

After all, the spatial force emanating from that spatial channel made Xiao Ling immediately realize that the person who opened this channel was extremely powerful, far superior to himself.

But soon, Xiao Ling noticed several familiar auras coming from the other end of the space channel, which made him relax his vigilance a little. It seemed that this was not a hostile act, but someone had opened a channel at the other end to help him.

After coming to his senses, Xiao Ling had some guesses in his mind, and roughly knew who had opened this space channel. As for the changes in the space of Xingyun Pavilion, he could also guess what had happened.

Immediately, Xiao Ling smiled slightly, and with a flash of his body, he rushed into the space channel without hesitation.

……

In the passage, the force of space was like a fine thread, entwining around Xiao Ling. He felt like he was traveling through a tunnel woven by light. The surrounding scene was blurry, and only the exit in front of him emitted a soft light, guiding him in the direction of progress.

Immediately, Xiao Ling increased his speed, and his figure was like a meteor, breaking through the constraints of space and rushing towards the light.

The moment Xiao Ling passed through the space channel, he experienced a strange feeling of oppression, as if the power of the entire space was putting pressure on him, as if trying to squeeze him out of the channel.

However, this feeling of discomfort was only short-lived and fleeting. With the guidance of the driving force, Xiao Ling easily stepped out of the passage, and all the discomfort dissipated instantly, like smoke without a trace.

After leaving the space channel, Xiao Ling's eyes slowly adapted to the surrounding light, and the scene in his sight became clearer from hazy. He found himself standing in a magnificently decorated hall.

Above your head, the high ceiling is painted with exquisite patterns, and the fine carvings reveal the exquisite craftsmanship. In the center, the golden chandelier emits a warm light, covering the entire hall with a soft glow.

On the walls around, there are precious murals, each of which is meticulously painted, showing a high level of artistic quality. Underfoot, the smooth marble floor reflects the light from the chandelier, exuding a light luster, adding a touch of nobility.

At this time, six people in the hall were sitting on luxurious chairs. They were Little Medical Fairy, Qing Lin, Skyfire Reverend, Mu Qingluan, Wind Reverend, and a handsome white-haired man.

Xiao Ling's eyes swept around everyone, and finally locked onto the white-haired man. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

"Haha, this is also our first official meeting, Yao Lao..." (End of this chapter)
