Chapter 173: First Turn Dou Zun, Ancient Dragon Island

"Boom!"

In the void, thunder roared and electric snakes danced. Terrifying bolts of lightning fell from the sky, shocking everyone in the Black-Corner Region. The thunder was so overwhelming that its mere presence made them feel as if their souls would scatter.

What they didn't know was that a figure was currently undergoing the baptism of these thunders. After a long time, the lightning dissipated, and Xiao Tian descended with a pill.

This time, the pill he refined was the Earth Sovereign Pill, with the Earth Core Fire Pearl as the main ingredient. This pill was a mid-tier eighth-grade pill that could enhance a Dou Zun's strength by one to two stars. Due to Xiao Tian's use of the Ascending Spirit Method, the pill was upgraded to high-tier eighth-grade, ensuring a two-star increase in strength.

Xiao Tian consumed the pill and began cultivating again. The vast medicinal power continuously flowed into his body, allowing him to compress and temper his Dou Qi, commencing the cultivation of the first turn.

When Xiao Tian fully refined the Earth Sovereign Pill, he successfully completed the first turn. The Nine Turns to Saint cultivation was exceptionally challenging, and even a high-tier eighth-grade pill only allowed Xiao Tian to achieve the first turn. This was a pill capable of boosting a Dou Zun by two stars!

As Xiao Tian stood up, he saw a graceful figure in white appear before him. The woman wore a simple white dress, exuding an ethereal aura. Her long, snowy white hair cascaded down to her hips, swaying gracefully in the breeze. With a slender waist and a delicate face, who else could it be but Little Doctor Immortal?

"Did it succeed?" Xiao Tian asked with a smile as he saw Little Doctor Immortal appear.

"Yes," she nodded gently, a beautiful smile forming on her lips.

"What is your current cultivation level?" Xiao Tian asked again.

Little Doctor Immortal sighed softly, "Still far from yours, only at three-star Dou Zun."

"Your cultivation speed is already remarkable, surpassing countless others," Xiao Tian chuckled. In the original story, Little Doctor Immortal reached two-star Dou Zun after forming her Poison Pill at seven-star Dou Zong. Now, at the peak of eight-star Dou Zong, it's normal for her to reach three-star Dou Zun.

"Let's return to the Xingyun Pavilion," Xiao Tian said, summoning the spatial gate. The two of them stepped inside.

Back at Xingyun Pavilion, they saw Zi Yan sitting impatiently. Beside her, a sturdy, muscular man was serving her tea.

"What's going on?" Xiao Tian asked as he walked over.

Hearing his voice, Zi Yan immediately ran over, "Xiao Tian, you're finally back! This big guy claims to be my clansman and insists on taking me back to the Ancient Void Dragon clan."

The burly man also approached, saying, "Oh? I didn't expect the Xiao clan to produce someone like you after Xiao Xuan. Truly worthy of being one of the ancient eight clans."

"I am Hei Qing of the Ancient Void Dragon clan. I came to take Zi Yan back to the clan. You guys sure run fast; I had to chase you all the way from the Beast Region to here," Hei Qing said.

Xiao Tian shook his head, "Zi Yan can return to the Ancient Void Dragon clan, but not now."

"Why?" Hei Qing's expression turned cold.

"Zi Yan is of royal blood and has obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Your Ancient Void Dragon clan is divided into four factions. If the other three kings find out, they might join forces to eliminate her. Can you guarantee that there are no spies from the other three factions on Dragon Island?" Xiao Tian explained.

"This..." Hei Qing scratched his head and finally said, "I can't guarantee that."

Xiao Tian spread his hands, "Therefore, the best plan is for Zi Yan to stay in the Xingyun space until she fully refines the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. Then she can return to Dragon Island, and it must be kept secret."

"You're right. I need to report this to the clan," Hei Qing nodded.

"I'll go with you," Xiao Tian suggested, summoning the spatial gate, "Follow me!"

...

Beast Region.

At a certain location, Xiao Tian and Hei Qing appeared. Hei Qing was amazed, "Xiao Tian, this treasure of yours is quite something. It instantly brought us from Zhongzhou to the Beast Region. No wonder I couldn't find you before!"

"Your Ancient Void Dragon clan's Half-Saints can do the same, right?" Xiao Tian said nonchalantly, keeping the full capabilities of the spatial gate hidden.

"Indeed," Hei Qing didn't dwell on it, cutting through space and taking Xiao Tian with him.

...

Inside the spatial rift was a strange passage filled with faint silver light. Xiao Tian and Hei Qing were flying rapidly through this passage.

"We're almost there," Hei Qing said, slowing down as a silver light circle appeared ahead.

Entering the light circle, their vision blurred for a moment, then lush green mountains appeared before them. Xiao Tian stood in the void, looking at the vast island ahead. The island's sky was surrounded by a bowl-shaped silver light shield, and outside the shield was dark void space. The island floated in this void.

Xiao Tian could sense many powerful hidden auras on the island. As they landed, several figures approached but retreated upon seeing Hei Qing.

They landed on a giant peak, and the void twisted as a white-robed figure emerged.

"Hei Qing greets the Third Elder!" Hei Qing bowed immediately.

The white-robed elder frowned, "Hei Qing, where is the princess?"

"Third Elder," Xiao Tian stepped forward, "I am Zi Yan's friend. Given the current state of your Ancient Void Dragon clan, I think it's safer for her to cultivate outside for now."

"What? She obtained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit?" The elder was shocked. This fruit was immensely important to their clan, potentially allowing them to reunite the Ancient Void Dragon clan.

After a moment of contemplation, the elder nodded, "This matter is indeed significant. The elders of our clan will need to visit the Xingyun Pavilion."
