Chapter 179: The Emergence of the Nine-Star Peak
As Xiao Bai pondered this, five lightning seeds burst forth from his dantian, their five colors radiating a powerful force. The lightning flashed across his entire sea of qi, transforming into a hazy ball of multicolored light that filled his dantian.
Xiao Bai felt he could prevent this transformation, but he didn't.
His arrival had disrupted the course of this world, and he wasn't absolutely certain he could reach the Dou Di realm.
But if he knew the direction of the worldline and then did nothing, allowing everything to unfold as it did in the original novel, he couldn't do it!
After all, he'd finally made it through time, and who wouldn't want to experience the scenery from the highest point?
Especially since he wasn't completely without wealth, possessing the imperial edict, stirring up trouble was a necessity. He had to wait and see until Xiao Yan became an emperor, but no one knew if he was lucky enough to survive until then.
Experience from his previous life had taught him that being a protagonist's friends and family was a high-risk profession.
Moreover, in this world, the strong reign supreme. Sometimes, it's not the powerful who intentionally kill you; a careless aftermath of a battle can annihilate you.
A single wisp of dust falling from a high-ranking figure can be like a mountain to those at the bottom, unbearable!
So, he wanted to become stronger. He took the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!
His goal was to delay Emperor Hun Tian's path to becoming an emperor, buying himself time.
That man's mind was too formidable. If he were allowed to become an emperor, no one knew for sure if he would survive.
As long as Emperor Hun Tian didn't become an emperor, there was room for maneuver. After all, on this continent, there were still Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, two peak Dou Sheng masters who could rival him.
Since he hadn't secured his Emperor status according to the original plan, pursuing one Thunder Seed per realm, this might be an opportunity, so there was no need to intervene.
The moment the hazy ball of light formed in his Dantian, a massive devouring force emanated from it. The vast silver thunder-attributed Dou Qi within Xiao Bai's body, like a mighty river, flowed through his meridians and poured into the ball of light.
In a moment, all the Dou Qi in his body was absorbed by the ball of light.
Xiao Bai blinked, feeling a momentary discomfort at the feeling of no Dou Qi remaining.
After absorbing all the Dou Qi, the five-colored ball of light emanated a hazy aura. In the hazy air, Xiao Bai felt as if he were illusory, sensing a faint shadow projected upon the ball of light, like a small space.
The shadow was faint and fleeting, as if it were a formless being.
Just as he was wondering, a vast and pure stream of five-colored Dou Qi was reflected back from within, even faster than when it had been absorbed, flowing through his meridians and into every corner of his body.
Xiao Bai's aura gradually grew stronger.
Dou Zhe.
Dou Shi.
All the way to the Two-Star Dou Wang!
This was the realm Xiao Bai had reached after refining the Guishui Yin Lei. But the energy flowing back from his Dantian did not cease. Instead, streams of immense and refined five-colored energy surged even more violently through his meridians.
Three-Star Dou Wang.
Four-star Dou Wang.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Bai emanated the aura of an Eight-star Dou Wang, and the energy fed back by the ball of light continued to rise.
"I don't believe it! Could it possibly push me to Dou Huang?"
Xiao Bai's eyes flickered, and he concentrated all his energy on controlling the surging multicolored energy within his body, gazing inward at the multicolored, hazy ball of light within his dantian.
He had earlier worried that his breakthrough would be too rapid, causing his aura to become weak, and tried to compress his Dou Qi. But no matter how hard he tried, the multicolored energy remained motionless. Its quality was incredibly high, several times higher than the previous silver Dou Qi.
As time passed, Xiao Bai's aura instantly broke through a barrier, reaching Nine-star Dou Wang, but the ball of light continued to pump out vast quantities of energy.
"Let me see your limits!"
Xiao Bai now felt genuinely hopeful. Since the Dou Qi was so high-quality, there was no need to worry about a weak foundation. He should just push forward with his breakthrough!
Ideally, he could push him to Dou Di!
As soon as Xiao Bai finished speaking, the Dou Qi flowing from the ball of light suddenly weakened.
After the last wisp of multicolored energy was exhaled, it flickered a few times, and the ball of light shattered. The five lightning seeds returned to their previous five-sided arrangement, hovering quietly above the sea of qi in his dantian.
"...!" Xiao Bai, after the last wisp of Dou Qi flowed through his meridians, closed his eyes and quietly sensed the changes in his body.
Strong!
Extremely strong!
It felt like the Xiao Bai before him could defeat ten of them!
He felt the urge to challenge the Great Elder to a duel right now.
At this thought, Xiao Bai quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought, thinking to himself, "I'm getting inflated!"
He knew it was just an illusion of a sudden surge in power!
Peak Nine-Star Dou Wang!
At this moment, he could clearly sense that the barrier to breaking through the Dou Huang was imminent, as if it could be shattered with a single poke.
He extended a hand, and a stream of multicolored thunder Dou Qi appeared in his palm. Xiao Bai carefully sensed this new Dou Qi, marveling.
He could sense the aura of five kinds of thunder from this Dou Qi, indicating that this newly formed Five-Colored Thunder Dou Qi possessed the characteristics of all five of Xiao Yi's disciples, a fusion of all five.
"No wonder it's so unstoppable! This is a true Five-In-One Dou Qi. With my current cultivation level, there's no way I could possibly suppress it!"
Xiao Bai's lips curled up, evidently pleased with this newfound Five-Colored Dou Qi. "From now on, I'll call you Five-Element Thunder Dou Qi!"
After examining it for a moment, Xiao Bai gained a better understanding of it and retracted it into his body.
"Time to go out!"
Xiao Bai stood up and stretched, his body crackling like frying beans.
As the sound echoed, Xiao Bai carefully sensed the changes in his physical body.
He clenched his fist and swung it fiercely. Suddenly, the air before him was compressed by the force of his fist, forming an invisible cannon of air.
"Boom!"
A stalactite several dozen meters long, not far ahead, shattered with a bang, sending rocks flying and sending up a cloud of dust. The sonic boom and the sound of the stalactite shattering echoed endlessly throughout the underground world.
However, Xiao Bai paid no attention to the powerful air cannon or the shattered stalactite. He surveyed the clenched fist before him with amazement, as if witnessing something unbelievable. He muttered, "Just now, was that a spatial distortion?"
"I almost broke through space with my physical body?"
You have to know that for an attack to have any impact on space, it requires at least a high-level Dou Huang's Dou Qi attack, and some of this is only possible when using powerful Dou techniques!
And he didn't use a single bit of Five Elements Thunder Dou Qi just now, he just swung his fist with all his strength.
"I didn't expect the biggest change this time wasn't Dou Qi, but physical strength!"
After a moment, Xiao Bai's gaze shifted from his fist, and he slowly exhaled.
"The benefits I've gained this time are truly immense!"
Xiao Bai shook his head. He had been prepared for the benefits of gathering the Five Elements, but he hadn't expected the rewards to be even more astonishing.
But thinking back to the message transmitted from the ball of light after the last wisp of multicolored energy had been exhaled, Xiao Bai's good mood instantly vanished.
"I've taken the benefit. Not only will there be no such good things in the future, but I'll be doing hard labor!"
Looking at the five intertwining balls of light swirling in his dantian, a hint of bitterness curled up at the corners of Xiao Bai's mouth.
Damn it, where can I find so much Five Elements Qi for you to absorb? And we need to balance the Five Elements. Simply strengthening the Fire Element and then transforming the other four won't do! The Five Elements' power required is too immense. It depends entirely on the Five Elements' circulation and balance, and that would take forever!
Furthermore, if the Fire Element becomes too powerful, it will affect the other four. The Five Elements not only promote each other, but also counteract each other!
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. I chose this path, and even if I have to crawl, I'll climb it!"
Xiao Bai felt a sharp pain in his teeth as he thought about the Five Elements energy required. He refused to believe that there was no solution to this Dou Qi Continent problem.
Just as he was secretly stoking himself, constantly recalling the information from the original novel, pondering how to solve the problem, he felt a sudden movement within his five internal organs. Xiao Bai frowned and looked inward. Now, his organs were like a furnace, emitting a crystal-clear light.
This was the result of his physique being strengthened by the Five Elements, but now the light within them was incredibly intense, as if something was about to burst forth.
"What's this for?"
Xiao Bai was troubled. This was his body, yet he had no idea what was happening to these organs!
As Xiao Bai stared intently, five rays of light, emitting a mysterious aura, emerged from his internal organs.
Xiao Bai looked at these five rays of light, and while they looked familiar, thoughts raced through his mind, and a sudden memory flashed through his mind.
"Is this... the culprit that suppressed me for five years during the Dou Qi stage? The five-colored light Fu Zhao had given me?"
Xiao Bai's eyes were filled with complexities as he gazed at the condensed five-colored light. This light had suppressed him for five years, but it also provided him with protection. Without it, he wouldn't have been able to allow the five lightning seeds to enter his body.
If it hadn't suddenly reappeared today, Xiao Bai would have almost forgotten about it!
"Yes, the five lightning seeds have left the five internal organs, and their mission seems to have been completed. Are they returning to Fu Zhao?"
Watching the light condense and flicker within his body, Xiao Bai suddenly realized something.
However, things weren't going as Xiao Bai expected. Instead, the light didn't return to Fu Zhao's sea of consciousness. Instead, it flickered a few times before radiating even brighter.
In an instant, five-colored light emanated from Xiao Bai's body, illuminating the entire underground stalactite world with an incomparably bright, radiant glow.
Then, a beam of light shot up into the sky, piercing the underground dome and the rock. A beam even thicker than the previous yellow beam pierced the sky, shattering the clouds and appearing outside in the sight of Xun'er, Xiao Yixian, and the others.
"What is this?" The little golden dragon stared in shock at the multicolored pillar rising into the sky. "No, this is damn it, again?"
Feeling the essence within him stirring once again, the little golden dragon recalled the scene in the valley where he was forced back by the strange devouring force. Fear filled his eyes, and a golden light flashed before swiftly fading away.
Xun'er and Xiao Yixian stared at the pillar of light, their Dou Qi momentarily unstable.
Xun'er felt as if the seal her father had set would have left her body, and the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her would have threatened to burst forth.
Xiao Yixian's face flushed red as she exerted all her strength to counter the devouring sensation emanating from the pillar of light.
At Canaan Academy, countless students gazed at the suddenly rising pillar in the back mountain, sensing the Dou Qi threatening to leave their bodies.
With a look of horror in their eyes, they hurriedly sat cross-legged on the spot, concentrating their energy to resist the strange sensation.
Just as everyone's gaze was fixed on the towering pillar of light, thick, dark clouds suddenly appeared above the azure sky. A fierce wind roared across the heavens and earth, whistling relentlessly.
In the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower, Su Qian, who was battling the invisible fire python, saw it suddenly stop. Its massive head suddenly turned in one direction, a hint of fear in its eyes.
Delighted, he was about to seize the opportunity to repel it when, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned his head, his cloudy gaze seemingly piercing the void, to gaze in the direction of the fire python's gaze.
"A strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth! This is the emergence of a heavenly-level martial art or fighting technique!"
As Su Qian paused in astonishment, Xun'er stared blankly at the sudden change in the sky, her rosy lips whispering in disbelief.
"Heavenly rank?"
Beads of sweat dotted Little Medical Immortal's forehead. Her lips parted, her beautiful eyes gazing at Xun'er in shock.
Xun'er didn't turn back, her eyes blazing as she stared intently at the beam of light, a faint blush of excitement on her face as she explained, "Generally speaking, phenomena of heaven and earth can be categorized into three types!"
"The first is the birth of a high-level elixir, which produces phenomena and draws down elixir thunder!"
"The second is reaching a certain realm of cultivation, which also triggers phenomena. However, these are ancient legends. Looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent today, few can achieve them. However, the emergence of certain magical beasts can also cause such phenomena!"
"As for the third type, it's the birth of a Heavenly Rank technique or fighting skill. This kind of birth doesn't mean the technique or fighting skill sees the light of day again, but rather it creates something from nothing!"
"In other words, this type of technique or fighting skill has never appeared on the Dou Qi Continent before. Those who have ever been able to produce phenomena of heaven and earth are the creators of each Heavenly Rank technique or fighting skill!"
"There is no fragrance of elixir here, so it is obvious that no elixir has been born. As for the strength that has been stimulated, let alone in the Northwest Continent, even in Zhongzhou, it is rare, so..."
The Little Medical Fairy's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and her white hands tightly covered her small mouth, and she said in a lost voice: "So Xiaobai has created a heaven-level martial arts or fighting skills?"
"Yes!"
Xun'er nodded, and at this moment, her heart was filled with deep joy. The pride and pride on her pretty face could not be stopped.
She did not expect that Xiao Bai would give her such a surprise!
In the past, those who could create heaven-level martial arts and fighting skills were at least Dou Sheng-level strongmen, and her brother Xiao Bai!
He just turned nineteen this year, and he has such talent. How can she not be proud!
Not to mention the current generation, even the people of Dou Qi Continent in the past, present and future, who can induce the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth at the age of nineteen are unheard of!
"Bang!"
Under the intense gaze of countless people, the multicolored pillar of light that pierced the thick clouds trembled slightly. Only then did everyone vaguely see a vague, towering figure at the top of the pillar, standing steadily in the air.
