316: Chapter 316 The Authority of the Heavenly Mystery Prince! The Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Palace and Earth Palace

"As everyone knows, there are three great king clans in the Demonic Beast world: the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, and the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan."

"But according to what I know, the true three great king clans of the Demonic Beast world are the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and the group consisting of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent and the Heaven-Swallowing Python."

"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan are descendants of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Clan, but their Bloodline has degenerated. They cannot compare to their ancestors and are currently weaker than the Void Ancient Dragon Clan."

"The Nine Serene Earth Python Clan, due to their excessive breeding, has suffered even more severe Bloodline degradation. A few hundred years ago, an outstanding Clan Chief emerged, but he mysteriously disappeared shortly after taking office. Their overall strength is even slightly inferior to the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."

"But regardless, the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan is still a king clan of the Demonic Beast world with Dou Sheng experts presiding over them."

"However, a year and a half ago, the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan consecutively lost several Elders at the Dou Zun level."

"It wasn't until the current Fifth Elder, a Nine-Star Dou Zun, took action that it was discovered the cause of all this was a woman of peerless beauty. Yet, her peerless beauty was the least significant of her virtues."

"The woman's name is Qing Lin, and she comes from the Jia Ma Empire of the Northwest Continent."

"That's right, it's the same Jia Ma Empire of the Northwest Continent that produced Young Master Tianji Gu Han, the Clear Breeze Sword Venerable Yun Yun, the Poison Doctor Fairy Xiao Yi Xian, and the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan. I, this old man, am planning to take a trip there when I have time to soak up some of the good fortune from that blessed land."

"Coming back to the topic, this woman named Qing Lin is only eighteen this year, meaning she was seventeen last year. She is a Two-Star Peak Dou Zun and possesses the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. Yes, it's the legendary... Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

"Fairy Qing Lin appeared in the Beast Region and unexpectedly obtained some opportunities. As a result, she encountered a Dou Zun Elder from the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan. When the latter tried to seize her Opportunity, he was controlled by Fairy Qing Lin using her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils."

"..."

In the northern city of the Starfall Pavilion, a young Storyteller was passionately recounting the recently obtained news.

Following Xiao Yi Xian, another girl named Qing Lin had appeared—also a girl with peerless talent, and also one of Gu Han's Dao Companions.

This information gave everyone a high level of recognition for Gu Han's title as "Young Master Tianji." Everyone felt that his ability to find the owners of the Calamity Poison Body and the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and to help them develop their Physiques, could only be achieved through the use of heavenly secrets.

It couldn't just be good luck to encounter two girls with such peerless talent in succession, could it?

"Later, this owner of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils escaped the relentless pursuit of the Nine Serene Earth Python Clan and appeared on the outskirts of the Desolate Ancient Domain to rendezvous with Xiao Yi Xian."

"The two women traveled together, fending off the encirclement and suppression from the Ice River Valley, the Tianming Sect, and the Hall of Souls."

"The Hall of Souls and the Tianming Sect put a bounty on Young Master Tianji, but they can't even deal with his Dao Companions."

"..."

This sentence caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

As Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin made a great name for themselves, the Young Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan, began to rise.

The Starfall Pavilion's reputation was growing stronger and stronger, and along with it, many people began to pay attention to the Northwest Continent.

After all, it was the hometown of Gu Han, Xiao Yi Xian, Yun Yun, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yan—five people; it was far from simple.

"Rumble!"

Just as the Storyteller was about to reveal some recent news, colorful thunder suddenly appeared in the sky dozens of miles away. The colors changed again and again, finally reaching four colors.

"A four-colored Pill Lightning for an Eighth Grade Pill. Young Pavilion Master Xiao Yan's alchemy skills have improved once again."

Many people were discussing it, their eyes filled with fervent excitement.

Even though Venerable Yao had not yet returned, with Xiao Yan and Gu Han, the Starfall Pavilion's prestige was no weaker than it was at its Peak.

Not to mention there were also rising stars with immense talent and potential like Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and Qing Lin.

"Rumble!"

While the four-colored Pill Lightning appeared over the Starfall Pavilion, in a certain part of the sky on the outskirts of the Desolate Ancient Domain, dark clouds were also gathering, filled with a cold aura saturated with killing intent.

A cold, cyan pillar of light flew out from the dark clouds, charging toward a certain mountain Peak below.

The tall mountain Peak was instantly reduced to nothingness by the impact, and a glimmer of purple light appeared within the cyan pillar.

"Netherworld Poison Realm!"

Xiao Yi Xian's delicate shout rang out. An intense purple light with a hint of black instantly expanded, transforming into an energy shield within the cyan pillar to resist the invasion of the killing intent.

In the center of the purple light was Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in a white dress with purple trim. Her hands were formed into a special seal, and the Poison Dou Qi within her body swept out. A special mark flickered on her forehead.

Purple butterflies flew around her, and as their wings flapped, highly toxic sparks scattered.

Behind Xiao Yi Xian was Qing Lin, whose face was somewhat pale, surrounded by a blood-colored aura.

The source of that blood aura was a blood python covered in wounds, its life force dimming.

The Bloodline strength of this beast had reached the Late Stage of the eighth rank, comparable to an Eight-Star Dou Zun expert.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had worked together and exerted great effort to slaughter it. Now, Qing Lin was using the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire to devour the pure power within its Bloodline and channel it into the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to increase her strength.

It was currently the critical moment of devouring and refinement when they were suddenly attacked.

"The Hall of Souls only knows how to perform low-level petty tricks behind people's backs!"

Xiao Yi Xian's hands formed a seal, and she opened her mouth to swallow the Netherworld Poison Flame in its butterfly state. Purple light radiated from all the Meridians in her body, and the aura of a Seven-Star Dou Zun swept forth.

After two years of hard work, with the help of the Netherworld Poison Flame and the excellent location of the Desolate Ancient Domain's poison miasma, Xiao Yi Xian had already grown to this level.

However, once she reached the Peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun, if she wanted to continue becoming stronger, she would need higher-level opportunities.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian activated the Calamity Poison Body enhanced by the Netherworld Poison Flame, and her aura rose even further.

Purple light surged up, transforming into a hundred-zhang-sized phantom of a purple butterfly.

As the butterfly flapped its wings, the space was burned into a patch of poison miasma.

"Jie jie jie, a mere Seven-Star Dou Zun dares to be so arrogant."

"The Calamity Poison Body and the Netherworld Poison Flame... this Heavenly Venerable will capture you today to study you, and then use your corpse to humiliate Gu Han!"

Within the pitch-black clouds, a giant eye appeared, devoid of any emotion. Its gaze fell, turning into a cyan cold light. Heaven and earth were instantly frozen and shattered layer by layer.

This person was Ice Pupil Heavenly Venerable, ranked third in the Earth Hall of the Hall of Souls' three Tiangang Halls.

The Hall of Souls had three Tiangang Halls and twenty-four Disha Halls in the Central Plains.

The Tiangang Halls were divided into Heaven, Earth, and Man. The Heaven Hall was the most important place for the Hun Clan and served as the headquarters of the Hall of Souls, guarded personally by the Hall Master.

The Earth Hall was under the jurisdiction of the Deputy Hall Master of the Hall of Souls. Its status was second only to the Heaven Hall, and it bore the heavy responsibility of collecting Souls. it was also the headquarters for the Disha Halls.

The Man Hall was managed by the Grand Heavenly Lord and the Second Heavenly Lord of the Hall of Souls. It was responsible for handling various worldly affairs, and most of the people recruited were Loose Cultivators who had made a name for themselves in the Central Plains.

The Ice Pupil Heavenly Venerable who had attacked just now was a Three-Change Peak Dou Zun expert.

"World within the Pupil, Frozen World!"
