Chapter 217 Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Hopeless Future
Seeing the elders of the Yunlan Sect experience a surge in aura and an increase in strength of one or two stars after taking the pills, Yun Shan's heart was overflowing with joy.
This saved me several years of cultivation time.
This son-in-law is not only incredibly strong, but he also has another hidden identity: a pharmacist whose rank is close to the ninth grade!
Such a wonderful thing is something I could laugh in my sleep.
An eighteen-year-old Dou Zun is enough to sweep across a region; if word got out, it would terrify many people, let alone a peak eighth-grade alchemist!
Yunshan knew all too well the fate of the sect. Relying on a single strong person might make Yunlan Sect shine for a time, but it was ultimately unsustainable. Once the strong person fell and there was a lack of successors, the sect would likely return to its old path of decline.
The Xiao family, to which this son-in-law belongs, is a typical example. When the grandfather was alive, he was able to get engaged to the Nalan family, a Douwang family. But after the old man died, the family only had a few members, and the strongest among them was just a group of low-star Dou Shi.
But Xiao Yan is different!
Xiao Yan is not only incredibly strong, but also a master alchemist approaching the ninth rank.
What's worse is that he's only eighteen!
If he can truly advance to the ninth-grade alchemist realm in the future, the future of the Yunlan Sect is simply unimaginable!
A ninth-grade alchemist could easily create a group of Dou Zun.
"When a large batch of pills is produced, even if only a small portion of the profits is given to the Yunlan Sect."
"Let alone the fact that Dou Zong powerhouses have become the norm in sects, it is by no means impossible to make Dou Zun the successor, or even to make Dou Zong or Dou Zun powerhouses the elders."
"At that time, not only will ruling the Northwest Continent be a piece of cake, but it will not be impossible for him to become a regional overlord in the Central Plains."
Yunshan's heart pounded with excitement as he thought about it, feeling incredibly lucky. He never dared to dream of such a wonderful thing.
Even though several days have passed, those of Xiao Yan's generation who mocked and ostracized him, and even spread rumors about him, still feel like they're dreaming.
Although they knew two years ago that Xiao Yan had transformed from a "good-for-nothing" back into a genius, seeing the young man whom even a Dou Zong had to treat with utmost respect, they still felt that everything before them was somewhat unreal.
The boy who was once humiliated by them has now risen to such an unattainable position.
They didn't even dare to say a word when Xiao Yan scolded their grandfather.
Xiao Yan, however, didn't pay much attention to these people's thoughts; at most, he would just offer a sigh.
What he wants to know most right now is...where did his teacher go?
Behind the Xiao family mountain, Xiao Yan finished refining a batch of pills as usual, casually put away the pill furnace, and sighed softly.
He had not been able to contact Elder Yao since leaving the Yunlan Sect.
"According to the teacher, he went to break through his cultivation level, but why didn't we sense the energy surge caused by his breakthrough?"
Although he was somewhat curious, he was not worried at all about the teacher's comfort.
After all, with the physical body of a Realm Lord at its peak, Yao Lao is already one of the most outstanding beings on the Dou Qi Continent. What danger could he possibly be in?
"What an old lecher, he disappeared in the blink of an eye." Xiao Yan shook his head and was about to turn around when a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Xiao Yanzi, I've only been gone a short while, and you dare to speak ill of your teacher? You're such a brat."
Xiao Yan turned around abruptly and saw that Yao Lao was already standing behind him, still with that otherworldly and dignified appearance.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward: "Teacher, where have you been these past few days breaking through your cultivation level? I haven't sensed anything at all."
The old doctor looked at Xiao Yan and smiled:
"You brat, what are you thinking? Even breaking through to the Dou Sheng level requires a huge amount of heaven and earth energy, let alone my peak World Lord body, which can hold an incredibly terrifying amount of Dou Qi."
"Moreover, even the most talented geniuses would normally spend tens or hundreds of years breaking through to the next level of Dou Sheng. But I can ignore these obstacles and barriers, so the energy is so enormous that it might cause a tidal wave of energy that stretches for more than 100,000 miles."
The old doctor shook his head at this point and said:
"The commotion was too great. In order to avoid affecting the Dou Qi Continent, I had no choice but to go to the outer void. Although the energy there is violent and unpredictable, it is concentrated and pure, which is just right for me to absorb in large quantities to make up for the Dou Qi gap I need for my breakthrough."
"The outer void?" Xiao Yan's pupils contracted slightly. Although he had never been there, he had heard of the dangers of that place. If one was not careful, one would be torn to pieces. Even ordinary Dou Zun dared not venture there easily.
He instinctively pressed further, "So, teacher—have you already successfully broken through? What level have you reached?"
Upon hearing this, the old doctor said:
"Peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng."
These six short words sent a jolt through Xiao Yan's heart, causing him to pause for a beat.
Nine-star Dou Sheng peak! This is the ceiling that countless strong people on the Dou Qi Continent cannot reach even after a lifetime of hard work; there are probably no more than five people who can reach it.
And the teacher actually broke through to such a level in just a few days!
"throat."
Before Xiao Yan could recover from his shock, Yao Lao sighed, "A true Dou Di must have an Emperor-level soul and an Emperor-level body, and most importantly, the Dou Qi that is unique to a Dou Di."
"The legendary Bodhi Tree, a mythical plant, is ten thousand feet tall and seems to possess the body of a true Dou Di (Battle Emperor), capable of fighting against even a Dou Di."
"And thanks to you, I have the physical body of a peak Realm Lord. After the soul fusion, my physical body is stronger than that of an ordinary Dou Di, and my soul power also surpasses that of an ordinary Emperor Realm soul."
"With this terrifying foundation, I encountered no obstacles at all when I was rising from Dou Zun, and I smoothly reached the Nine-Star Dou Sheng."
At this point, Yao Chen's lips curled into a faint, self-deprecating smile:
"With this momentum, the teacher also believed that he could break through the realm in one fell swoop and become a Dou Di powerhouse that had not been seen for ten thousand years."
"But after I reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, I realized I was wrong."
"No matter how much energy I absorb, I can't break through to the Dou Di level. It's as if the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng is the end."
As Yao Lao finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yan:
"Little Yanzi, do you know how many days it took your teacher to break through to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng?"
"Less than half a day."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was completely stunned.
The teacher broke through to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng in just half a day, but it took him almost a month to break through to the Dou Di without any feeling of breaking through.
This is not normal at all.
He couldn't help but say:
"Teacher, you possess a physical body and soul far surpassing those of ordinary Dou Di, yet you still cannot break through to Dou Di? If that's truly the case, then doesn't that mean no one will ever be able to break through to Dou Di?"
The old doctor nodded, his tone grave: "What you say is mostly right. I can vaguely sense that something is missing in this world, a crucial energy."
"And this kind of energy is exactly what's needed for a Dou Di to advance. Perhaps this is why no one has been able to break through to become a Dou Di in the last ten thousand years."
