Chapter 106 Heaven
You don’t know how many years you have spent practicing cultivation.

Ever since obtaining the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, Yao Yan was not in a hurry to refine it. Instead, he indulged himself in cultivation, using it to improve his skyrocketing strength. Every day he was either refining pills or using the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to train his body, or he was sparring with Hai Bodong. Time passed like this day by day.

In a blink of an eye.

He stayed in the palace of the snake people for nearly three months, and his strength improved steadily during these three months.

During this period, he consumed three Earth Fire Lotus Seeds and some elixirs to assist in cultivation, raising his own Dou Qi to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Ling.

However, compared to the improvement of his fighting spirit, the improvement of Yao Yan's physical strength is the most worthy of celebration. The flesh and blood around him are much stronger than before March. When his qi and blood are stimulated, his skin glows with a dazzling silver color, like a little silver man. However, if you look closely, you can find a lot of bronze in it.

But these are not a big deal. Even if Yao Yan faces the direct burning of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, he can withstand it for a long time with his flesh and blood alone.

……

"Boom~"

In the air above the island in the lake, two figures were fighting. The roar continued to resound, and the air waves caused the surrounding lake water to ripple and splash.

These two people are naturally Yao Yan and Cai Lin.

The two did not fight to the death, but just had a simple exchange. Yao Yan's physical strength and defense alone were enough to fight against Cai Lin, a peak Dou Huang, and he was able to remain undefeated. His strong body was no less powerful than the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the original book, and was even more flexible.

After all, Yao Yan is a living person. He knows how to dodge fighting skills and even interrupt the opponent's gathering of fighting spirit, instead of foolishly using his body to resist.

"cut!"

The long sword in Cai Lin's hand condensed into a colorful streak. A sharp look flashed in her cold and beautiful eyes. With a light shout, she slashed out the sharp streak of fighting spirit. The powerful attack even caused the surrounding space to slightly twist and tremble. It was just a little bit short of tearing the space apart.

Yao Yan's face was calm, without any fear, he even went straight forward and punched out. The air cannon that used to require all his strength to fire was now like a normal attack. With the air in front of him suddenly concave, a powerful punch force collided with Cai Lin's sword.

The moment the two collided, a violent energy shock shook the area and a strong wind raged.

Cai Lin was watching this scene, her deep purple eyes couldn't help but glance at Yao Yan who was safe and sound, her heart was numb, her worldview had been severely impacted by Yao Yan and had been reshaped time and time again. She was once a genius, otherwise she wouldn't have become a powerful nine-star Douhuang in just twenty or thirty years.

But compared to a monster like Yao Yan, she felt that her previous self-confidence and arrogance were a bit ridiculous.

"Come again!"

Yao Yan on the other side was in a very good mood and laughed at Cai Lin.

During the past six months of hard training, he had slept very few times. Now that it was time to verify his harvest, his whole body was filled with the desire to fight. Perhaps this was what men were like. Once they had power, they had a desire to destroy and wanted to unleash all the power in their bodies.

Cai Lin put the sword into the storage ring with her backhand and said, "Let's stop here. There's no point in continuing to fight~"

As soon as she finished speaking, her slender waist twisted, the fighting wings behind her trembled slightly, and then she fell towards the island below. Cai Lin didn't want to fight anymore, because facing a piece of iron, unless she used her trump card and attacked with a desperate attitude, she could not pose a threatening attack to Yao Yan, and ordinary sparring was obviously meaningless to Yao Yan.

Yao Yan looked at the enchanting figure, the wild smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and he suddenly felt a sense of being stuck. He then took a breath helplessly, restrained his breath, and as the blood in his body calmed down, his skin also returned from silver to its normal color. He flashed and followed.

As soon as the two of them landed, Caidie came to greet them. She hugged her sister with a smile and said with a bit of boasting: "Sister, the young master is amazing, right?"

Her tone seemed to be saying: That's my man!
Hai Bodong and Hua She'er stood aside, watching this scene quietly. They were no longer surprised by the scene before their eyes. In the past month, Cai Lin and Yao Yan had fought quite a few times. Yao Yan had gone from being beaten all the time in the beginning to being evenly matched now. Not to mention the speed of his strength improvement.

Cai Lin ignored her sister. She looked at Yao Yan who had just landed and asked, "When do you plan to refine the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire?"

With Yao Yan's current physical body, and with the help of the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, there is almost no risk for him to refine the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. Even if he fails, it will not cause too much impact on himself. Only by experiencing it personally can one feel the horror of Yao Yan's physical body.

In contrast, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire seemed to have become much gentler.

"When my Dou Qi is increased by one to two stars, I will then use the opportunity of refining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire to directly break into the Dou Wang level."

Yao Yan didn't think about it and directly gave an answer that everyone had already guessed.

In the original novel, the process of Xiao Yan swallowing the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was a waste, because due to his own strength, he was unable to completely digest the original power of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire, and most of it was swallowed up by the colorful scales of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. Otherwise, how could the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, which had just successfully advanced, possess the strength of the fifth level.

It would be fine if he didn't know these things, but now that he knew them, Yao Yan would naturally maximize the value of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Cai Lin was not surprised to hear this, and she was not even moved. She pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Yesterday, the Jia Ma Empire sent an envoy to the Snake People, hoping to sign a non-aggression pact with the Snake People. For this purpose, they are willing to provide a piece of land suitable for the Snake People to survive to this king. This king refuses!"

Without sufficient strength, the Snake People would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism if they escaped from the Tagor Desert. To those humans, the Snake People were nothing more than commodities. Only by possessing strong strength could she allow the Snake People to have true freedom.

As for relying on Yaoyan, Cai Lin, as the Queen of Medusa, has never been the type to rely on others.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others!

Seeing Yao Yan's rapid progress in strength, Cai Lin became more and more eager to become a Dou Zong. She had been at the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Huang for several years, and perhaps it was time to consider a breakthrough. However, all this still fell on Yao Yan, and this was also the deal Yao Yan had made with her before.

Po Zong Dan!
A sixth-grade high-level elixir, after taking it, can help a Douhuang strongman break through the bottleneck and enter the Douzong realm. Even if the breakthrough fails, it is enough to ensure that the person taking the elixir will not regress in cultivation!

Its effect is enough to make any Douhuang-level strongman fight for it.

In the Douqi Continent, alchemist is indeed a profession that countless people envy.

Hearing this, Yao Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, are you interested in cooperating with me? I plan to establish a power. If there is a chance in the future, we will unify the entire northwest region and even reach out to Zhongzhou."

The second half is naturally a later story. Before he had the strength of a Douluo Saint, he had no idea of ​​unifying the entire Northwest Continent, because the strength of the Northwest Continent is not weak. There is no shortage of Douluo-level strongmen in the original work, and it is hard to say whether there is a Douluo Saint behind them.

However, he has always had the idea of ​​forming a force.

Neither the Soul Palace nor the Soul Clan work for him. Yao Yan can use them, but he cannot trust them. It would be better for him to go public through a backdoor listing, use the Soul Clan to enhance his strength, and build a force that belongs only to him. If he can break through to the Dou Di level in the future, he can use this to directly control the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Don’t forget, there is a vast world above the Douqi Continent. In comparison, the Douqi Continent is just the beginning.

Yao Yan needs a force to provide convenience for himself, whether it is intelligence or cultivation resources, etc.!
The moment he finished speaking, Cai Lin's phoenix eyes flashed with surprise, and then she frowned slightly, stared coldly at Yao Yan, and said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, you seem to be from a big family in Zhongzhou. With your status and talent, why do you need to build up your power!"

She felt that Yao Yan was a 'pitiful' snakeman, which obviously touched Cai Lin's nerves, so she claimed that she had changed.

Caidie looked at her sister at a loss, and quickly helped Yaoyan to say, "Sister, that's not what the young master meant!"

Yao Yan gave Cai Die a reassuring look, then looked at Cai Lin, the Queen of Medusa, and said slowly: "Your Majesty the Queen just experienced a conflict within the family not long ago... Don't you know that the bigger the family, the more internal struggles there are. In a family, the most important person is naturally the patriarch, and under him there are countless clansmen fighting for power and profit. Compared to these boring games, I prefer to create a force of our own!"

There was a pause.

He looked at Hai Bodong and continued:

"The Snake People and the Gama Empire are a good starting point. Our strengths are similar, so we can grow together and slowly build it up. It just so happens that I have a relationship with Caidie and I am also a good friend of the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. The Snake People and the Miter Family are my natural allies. If I don't bring you along, am I going to look for someone else?!"

"The Miter family has no objection. If you want to build your power, we will definitely support you!"

Hai Bodong spoke without any hesitation.

Seeing Yao Yan's rapid growth in strength, he has been completely convinced. By joining Yao Yan, he will definitely be able to grow to a higher level in the future. This deal is extremely cost-effective no matter how you look at it. At the very least, investing in Yao Yan is also a great idea.

Cai Lin's eyes flickered when she heard that. She stared at Yao Yan who looked calm, and doubted the truthfulness of his words. With Yao Yan's talent, if she was in her original family, she would definitely be trained as the young patriarch. As long as she improved her strength, why would she care about what other people said, just like she was in the snake tribe.

Caidie pulled Cailin's arm with a hopeful look on her face. She obviously hoped that Yaoyan would be further bound to the snake people.

"The snake people have no objection either."

Cai Lin was silent for a moment, nodded in agreement, and did not continue to be tough. If Yao Yan's previous words were sincere, cooperating with the other party would obviously be of great benefit to the snake people.

Seeing the two agree, Yao Yan said with a smile: "You two will not regret your decision today in the future!"

"Sir, what will our power be called in the future?"

Caidie was in high spirits. She let go of her sister's arm and came up to Yaoyan, asking like a curious baby. Her bright big eyes stared at Yaoyan, like two blue mirrors, reflecting his handsome face.

Yao Yan didn't think for too long and said a name he had already thought of: "Heaven!"

"Heaven?!"

Everyone muttered to themselves, but they didn't feel there was anything special about it. There was no such thing as heaven in the world. However, they vaguely felt that the name was a bit special, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

Caidie tilted her head and looked at Yaoyan, asking, "Sir, what is the meaning?"

“It’s a nice name.”

Yao Yan smiled mysteriously without explaining anything. If he had the power to control the entire universe in the future, and even reach out to the heavens and all realms, then the name of Heavenly Court would be the most appropriate. However, he was obviously not qualified to say such words at the moment, as it was too far away.

After hearing this, everyone stopped asking questions.

Hai Bodong said directly: "Sir, I will return to the Jia Ma Empire now to persuade all parties. From what I know about them, as long as you can take out the Po Zong Dan, they will not refuse!"

At this moment, the smile on the face of old man Yunshan even emerged in his mind. Compared with the old guy Jia Xingtian, Yunshan was a thorough ascetic and had little interest in running a powerful force. Moreover, Yunshan had no reason to refuse a force run by a genius like Yao Yan.

"Just let them know for now. With my current strength, it's not suitable for me to expand my influence too much. If they are willing to join, that would be the best. If they are not willing, I won't force them. We can just maintain a cooperative relationship."

Yao Yan nodded and spoke softly.

As for whether this matter would alarm the people in the Soul Palace, given the Soul Palace's efficiency, by the time the other party finds out about him, they will have already arrived in the Black Horn Region. There would be no need for them to report anything by then. He would take the initiative to show up and join the Soul Palace and contact his 'mentor' Hunxuzi.

Hai Bodong nodded, exchanged a few more words with Yao Yan, then turned into a stream of light and soared into the sky, heading towards the Gama Empire.

"Once you refine the Sect Breaking Pill, no one in the Snake Tribe will refute you, including me."

Cai Lin looked at Yao Yan, said something slowly, then turned and walked towards the palace. At the same time, she did not forget to take Cai Die with her. Fortunately, she knew that Yao Yan needed daily necessities, so she kept Hua She'er, the gentle queen.

However, Yao Yan was not very interested in women at the moment. He nodded to Hua She'er and walked towards the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, planning to break through to the eight-star Dou Ling today. By then, he could start to refine the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire and use the energy of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire to break into the Dou King realm. Even if that didn't work, he could still reach the peak of Dou Ling.

Afterwards, he used the Burning Technique to completely devour the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, turning its essence into a part of himself. In this way, no matter how big the gap between Dou Ling and Dou Wang was, it would be enough to cross it!

Fighting King!

That’s when it really takes off!
