--- Chapter 216 ---
While Dao Academy was busy comprehending Dou Techniques, Han Yuan also focused his attention on the development in the Dou Qi Continent, as it was as significant as the Douluo Continent.
Due to the time difference between the two cultivation worlds, a few days have passed in the Dou Qi Continent.
Moreover, these past few days have been somewhat wake-up calls for Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian.
The reason?
Well, the appearance of "Divinity" in this world meant a lot.
Although Han Yuan has constructed a concealing barrier with his spiritual power and allowed Xiao Yixian to condense the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge in the Sky Poison Pearl instead of her own body, the heaven and earth phenomenon was bound to happen.
That same phenomenon broke nearly everyone in the Dou Qi Continent as the blue sky lost its color for a brief moment. Those experts in the Central Region felt an overwhelming presence on that day. An aura beyond their peak Dou Saint cultivation level, arriving in this world without notice.
Thus, a quiet yet violent storm hit the Dou Qi Continent!
Shocks.
Fears.
Excitements.
Every party has varied reactions to this phenomenon.
However, they could confirm one thing.
A presence above Dou Saint Realm, and that is none other than.
DOU GOD!
The legendary realm that many in this era longed to achieve, but since the end of the ancient era, there hasn't been a single Dou God born from the Dou Qi Continent.
The reason is simple: the lack of Origin Qi prevented a Dou God from being born!
Without enough Origin Qi, the peak Dou Saint Expert or a half-step Dou God couldn't break through.
Unfortunately for them, they were bound to be disappointed.
The overwhelming phenomenon wasn't the birth of Dou God at all, but someone who condensed her Divinity and Divine Throne.
An unknown method of ascension from another world is flawed here. Even though Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian successfully made the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge, and while the newly built Godhood is on near or equal status to a Dou God, it holds no real power!
Yet, this opened a crack in the Dou Qi Plane. It's barely enough to open a new path for others to ascend themselves, but the expectation has risen quickly.
Unfortunately, these people cannot discover the source of this "Dou God" being. When they tried to lock onto the scattered air of the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge in the atmosphere, it vanished like a fleeting wind.
It was a blessing in disguise for Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian. After all, they didn't create the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge in the Dou Qi Plane, but inside the Sky Poison Pearl.
The Sky Poison Pearl is one of the Heavenly Profound Artifacts, a tool that was from a much higher dimension than the Dou Qi Plane.
Its infinitely expanding inner dimension can't be spied on by mere Dou Saint Experts, even by Dou God, so Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian are safe.
Even if these people discovered a clue, at most, they would only find the spiritual barrier that Han Yuan made, though it would vanish.
By then, any clue related to a mysterious Dou God is basically nothing.
Even then, these were wake-up calls for Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian. The whole Dou Qi Continent was in an alarmed condition, and he could even sense spatial fluctuation in the Northern Region.
And remember, only Dou Zong (Dou Ancestor) Realms and above could use things like spatial power.
If these weren't people spying around, then Han Yuan didn't know what they were.
...
...
Magical Beast Mountain Range - Inner Circle.
Yesterday, Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian made their way into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. The reason is simple.
Xiao Yixian hadn't fully mastered her newfound power. Even though the Woeful Poison Body no longer poses a problem to the little girl, and controlling it is as easy as breathing, she wasn't used to it yet.
They experimented with the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge's power, discovering that not only did the "Divine Throne" filter the very energy of heaven and earth for Xiao Yixian to absorb, making her Dou Qi much more refined and purer, but her body also slowly evolved into that of a Divine Body.
Their gamble is successful!
At some point, Xiao Yixian will become a true Goddess.
But for now? Xiao Yixian is having a blast battling a high-level Rank 4 Magical Beast, War Turtle Beast!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Xiao Yixian's figure passed several ancient trees as a cannon-like water blast blew them to pieces. Not far away is a giant azure-colored turtle with mossy shells, firing a high-pressure water jet from its mouth.
Roar!
The turtle's eyes glowed with dim murder. Its body emitted azure light as the surrounding body of water rattled, shaking violently.
Then, a blue wave ejected from the turtle's body and sliced off everything around it, whether it was rock or tree in half.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yixian's little figure was nowhere to be seen.
Amidst this chaotic destruction, a purple shadow flew over the turtle's head, a sign of its doom.
[Heavenly Demon Eyes - Dominance]
[Thousand Hidden Weapons Control - Viper's Sting]
A burst of silver light filled the turtle's vision. However, it wasn't a simple light but a reflection of countless silver needles that clashed and gained momentum on the earth.
These needles transformed into a gigantic white-silver snake with fierce purple eyes as it struck the War Turtle Beast's head.
BOOOOM!
Under the sun, Xiao Yixian's body hovered in the air as her eyes glowed with a demonic purple gold hue. Her fingers are currently twisting many, nearly invisible threads emitting cold "Yin" energy produced by Woeful Poison Body via her cultivation techniques.
If we used Douluo Continent's standard, Xiao Yixian's cold "Yin" energy is equal to that of Ultimate Ice, though it wasn't purely cold, ice, or snow attribute.
In terms of destructive force alone, the corrosiveness of Yin energy is not something an ordinary Magical Beast could take.
Thus, the Rank 4 Magical Beast succumbed with its head punctured with countless needles.
Xiao Yixian blew cold air from her mouth and said, "I did it."
"I didn't use too much or too little this time."
"And good job for that, Yixian." Han Yuan appeared behind the little girl and caught her before she fell.
A Rank 4 Magical Beast is equal to a Dou Grandmaster due to its magic core having gotten 'completely' formed.
Of course, in return, Dou Grandmaster was also able to form "Dou Qi Armor" due to the solidification of its Dou Qi.
However, Xiao Yixian, with no "Dou Qi Armor" nor magic crystal, slayed a Rank 4 Magical Beast. A high-level one at that!
"Hehe, I am super strong, you know!" Xiao Yixian said with a grin.
"Yes, yes, you're strongest, I heard it." Han Yuan chuckled and let Xiao Yixian rest as he descended from the air and picked up her trophy, the War Turtle Beast's corpse.
"How does Turtle Soup sound to you?"
Xiao Yixian started drooling, "Delicious."
"Alright then." Han Yuan tossed the several tons of heavy remains into the Sky Poison Pearl and then flew away.
Now that Xiao Yixian has mastered her new ability, Han Yuan is confident that she can return to the human world.
When Han Yuan discovered that the Divine Throne of Immortal Scourge had caught everyone's attention, he panicked a little. And he wanted to hide among "ordinary" people in the village or city.
Still, he discarded this idea because of his confidence in Sky Poison Pearl and his cheats. So, he and Xiao Yixian remained in the same place while experimenting with their new powers.
Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
And now that Xiao Yixian has mastered her ability quite well, any clues related to the Divine Throne are gone.
Han Yuan and Xiao Yixian gazed into the far distance.
'The next step is building a foundation in this world,' thought Han Yuan.
