Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Layer upon layer, like a dream.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the familiar ceiling in front of him, slowly sat up, a confused look in his eyes, and looked around the familiar room.

However, although it was familiar, Xiao Yan couldn't remember where this place was for a moment.

Xiao Yan's expression was dull. He threw back the quilt and got out of bed. He slowly left the room and came to the open-air corridor. He looked at the extremely familiar scene in front of him. Looking up, he saw the sky full of stars shining continuously. Under the reflection of the starlight, the scenery in front of him was absolutely beautiful.

"Brother Xiao Yan! Are you awake?!"

At this moment, a surprised voice came into his ears. Xiao Yan suddenly turned around and saw a fairy-like woman with long black hair running towards him with joy on her face. Before Xiao Yan could react, she threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly and was unwilling to let go.

"You've been unconscious for the past few days, and Xun'er was scared to death."

The woman who called herself Xun'er spoke with a hint of sobbing in her voice. Xiao Yan could clearly feel the woman's excitement through her trembling shoulders, but the confusion in her eyes remained the same.

Xun'er in his arms didn't hear Xiao Yan's response for a long time. She raised her head in some surprise and looked at Xiao Yan's slightly lifeless eyes.

"Brother Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xun'er, who did not hide her worry, and spoke slowly after a long time, but there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xun'er's face changed immediately, and then she turned her head slightly, and Xiao Yan also heard her mumbling in a low voice.

"Could it be that the reincarnation of the ancient Bodhi tree has affected Brother Xiao Yan's memory? This is terrible, what should we do?"

"Um, please."

Xiao Yan spoke again woodenly, which made Xun'er slightly stunned. Then, with her eyes flickering, she looked at Xiao Yan and asked back.

"Brother Xiao Yan, can't you remember anything?"

"I seem to remember some of it, but it's not very clear. I just feel like you are very familiar."

Xiao Yan did not hide anything and answered truthfully. As soon as these words came out, Xun'er's eyes immediately lit up and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She clutched Xiao Yan's hand, her black eyes filled with piety and sadness.

"Have you even forgotten Xun'er? I am Brother Xiao Yan's most beloved wife!"

"Wife?" Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and frowned and murmured, "Yes, I do have a wife, but something doesn't feel right."

"That's right! I am your wife!" Xun'er did not give Xiao Yan a chance to think carefully. She interrupted his thoughts and once again deepened the impression of what she had just said. "Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry! Even if you lose your memory, Xun'er will always be your wife and will always be by your side!"

"Xun'er."

Listening to Xun'er's confident words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder if his feeling was wrong. Could it be that Xun'er in front of him was really his wife?
Just when Xiao Yan was about to fall into self-doubt, a very unhappy voice suddenly sounded.

"Xun'er, you are really good at talking nonsense. You are Xiao Yan's wife, so what am I?"

He didn’t know if it was Xiao Yan’s illusion, but after the voice sounded, he seemed to see Xun’er’s mouth twitching and she let out a very unhappy “tsk”.

But, Xun Er will not mention this voice for now.
Xiao Yan's eyes sparkled, and he looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a quiet woman with pale hair walking quickly towards him on the other side of the corridor. The moment Xiao Yan saw this woman, his eyes suddenly trembled. He raised his hand and gently pushed away the stunned Xun'er in his arms, turned around, rushed over to the quiet woman in surprise, and hugged her tightly.

"Xiao Yan?"

Xiao Yixian was startled by Xiao Yan's sudden action, and her eyes revealed a look of astonishment. At this time, Xiao Yan's slightly trembling voice reached her ears, causing Xiao Yixian to suddenly pause.

"Xian'er, I miss you so much"

The little medical fairy's pupils shrank slightly, and then her eyes softened.

She had heard Yao Chen talk about the ancient Bodhi tree's reincarnation for hundreds of generations. From their perspective, Xiao Yan had only slept for a few days, but from Xiao Yan's perspective, he must have spent a very long time.

Thinking of the fact that Xiao Yan had gone through so many years but was still single, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but feel distressed. She hugged him gently and slowly closed her eyes.

"Xiao Yan, welcome back."

As the two were hugging, Xun'er, who was not far away, had turned as black as coal.

I just felt familiar with him but couldn't remember where he was, but Xiao Yixian recognized him immediately?
Just when Xun'er was getting angry, she saw Xiao Yixian, who was hugging Xiao Yan, open her eyes with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

[You deserve it for talking nonsense~]

Xun'er was so angry that she was fuming, but she couldn't do anything about it. She could only clench her fists and swallow her anger.

There was no way out. What she had just done was indeed unkind. Even if the Little Medical Fairy mocked her in the face, she had to endure it.

Soon, everyone in Xingyun Pavilion knew that Xiao Yan had woken up, and they all rushed over. Yao Chen and Han Feng were the first to check Xiao Yan's body and soul, fearing that something might have happened to him.

After a long time, Yao Chen breathed a sigh of relief with a relaxed smile in her eyes. Cai Lin looked at her and asked.

"Senior Yao, is Xiao Yan okay?"

"Don't worry, he is in very good condition now. Not only has his strength broken through to the late three-star Dou Sheng, but his soul has also reached the heavenly realm. He even has the signs of surpassing us." Yao Chen paused, and then said: "As for his memory, don't worry. It's just that his memory has fluctuated slightly after experiencing hundreds of reincarnations. He will recover soon."

"That's good"

Yun Yun heaved a sigh of relief, and the others had the same expression. Just now, they heard Xiao Yixian say that Xiao Yan's memory was a little confused, and they thought something had happened to Xiao Yan.

"Sorry for making you worry."

Xiao Yan looked at Yun Yun, Cai Lin and the others and spoke so softly, which startled the girls slightly. Before they could say anything, several small figures rushed over.

"Daddy!"

At this time, Yun Xiao pounced directly towards Xiao Yan, and Xiao Xiao and other children also surrounded Xiao Yan, chattering non-stop.

This is what happens when there are many children. Each child has his or her own opinion and no one will give in to anyone else.

But Xiao Yan was not impatient at all. He had a smile on his face from beginning to end and looked at his children with loving eyes, which made him feel the reality once again.

I'm really back.
After a long while, the children were finally taken away by Yun Yun and others unwillingly. Xiao Yan had just woken up, and they were relieved to know that he was fine. Now they decided to let him rest.

Soon almost everyone left the room, leaving only Yao Chen behind. Xiao Yan also looked at his mentor with respect.

"Senior Yao, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Yao Chen waved his hand lightly, leaned back in his chair in a carefree manner that was totally inconsistent with his image, looked at Xiao Yan and asked casually.

"What have you experienced in your hundreds of reincarnations?" Hearing Yao Chen's question, Xiao Yan's expression froze, and then his expression suddenly became lost, causing Yao Chen's expression to change slightly.

Obviously, Xiao Yan's experience in the hundred reincarnations was definitely not that good.

The room fell into silence. After a long moment, Xiao Yan slowly spoke.

"Senior Yao Chen, thank you so much for always supporting me, and for the others who are willing to believe in me and help me. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to get to where I am now on the righteous path."

Xiao Yan said this so sincerely that Yao Chen’s brows slightly frowned.

Although Xiao Yan did not say it explicitly, Yao Chen guessed what Xiao Yan had experienced in his hundreds of reincarnations.

I guess that must be a world where the righteousness that you firmly believe in is shattered time and time again.

At this time Xiao Yan spoke again.

"I remember a girl. That should be an experience that I remember vividly, but I can't remember her face at all. I can't even remember the details of what happened."

"Just remember that I saved her many times, but each time, I failed."

"No matter what I did, the righteous path I followed could not save her in such a situation."

Xiao Yan covered his forehead lightly. Yao Chen also felt his sad heart from the pain on his face. He sighed deeply, then looked at Xiao Yan and asked.

"So, is your righteous path wrong?"

".No."

As soon as Yao Chen finished speaking, Xiao Yan firmly rejected it, slowly raised his head, with raging fire burning in his eyes.

"My righteous path is not wrong, and the world I pursue is not wrong. I am absolutely sure of this." Xiao Yan said firmly, "What is wrong is my ability and method. I have failed again and again in my reincarnations for these two reasons, and witnessed countless tragedies."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp.

“But here, I won’t make the same mistake again.”

Looking at Xiao Yan's firm and sharp eyes, Yao Chen was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

It seems that there is no need for the teacher to worry.

Presumably, for Xiao Yan, compared to the improved strength, the insights brought to him by the hundred reincarnations are more important. Yao Chen also believes that after this experience, Xiao Yan's future path on the right path will be smoother.

"By the way, Xiao Yanzi, release your strange fire." Yao Chen remembered something and raised his hand and said, "We checked your soul while you were asleep and found that your strange fire has changed again."

Yao Chen was not surprised that Xiao Yan's strength had improved, nor was he surprised that Xiao Yan's soul had grown to almost the same level as his own.

But the inexplicable change of the strange fire made Yao Chen feel particularly strange. She had never heard that the ancient Bodhi tree had the ability to change the strange fire.

After hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then he spread out his palm and released the Wujian Mingxin Flame. After that, he clearly felt that the Wujian Mingxin Flame had undergone some changes, as if there was an extra layer of deep black, which surprised Xiao Yan.

Then Xiao Yan's mind moved, and a cluster of black flames separated from the Wujian Mingxin Flame, which stunned Xiao Yan for a moment.

Where did this strange fire come from?

When Yao Chen saw the black flame, Yun Ling that day suddenly popped up in his mind and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

The Soul Palace that appeared there in advance and the black flame Yao Chen didn't think it was a coincidence.

As expected, that woman was also involved in this incident?
Yao Chen thought so and soon recovered his composure and spoke softly.

"According to my judgment, this black flame should be the second-ranked strange fire on the legendary strange fire list, the Void Devouring Flame."

"The second-ranked strange fire?!" Xiao Yan was immediately shocked, "Why do I have this?"

"I am not sure about this. It may be the remnants of the ancient Bodhi tree, and you happened to absorb it during your hundred reincarnations."

Yao Chen pretended to be ignorant, shrugged his shoulders, made up an excuse to fool people, and chuckled.

"No matter what, being able to break through from the peak of the Nine-turn Dou Zun to the late Three-star Dou Sheng in one go, I believe that it is not only the Ancient Bodhi Tree that played a role, but also the Void Devouring Flame. This is the second-ranked Strange Fire, and it must have fed a lot of energy to the Burning Decree."

"Um"

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment. Although he was still confused about the source of the Void Devouring Flame, this matter was actually not that important to him. He quickly put it aside and put the strange fire away.

At this time Yao Chen remembered something and said to Xiao Yan.

"Oh~ By the way, Xiao Yanzi, you should have a good rest tonight. Go to Tianhe League tomorrow. There are many people looking for you there."

"Hmm? Who's looking for me?"

Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, while Yao Chen smiled.

"This time the ancient Bodhi tree appeared in the world, and the eight ancient clans all sent people here. One of their purposes was to let the younger generations of their families try to seize the opportunity of the ancient Bodhi tree."

When mentioning the eight ancient clans, Yao Chen's face darkened slightly, but it was only for a moment. He put it away before Xiao Yan noticed and chuckled.

"But it is obvious that the difficulty of the ancient Bodhi tree this time far exceeded their expectations. Not to mention competing for opportunities, the influence of the ancient Bodhi tree has caused the death rate in the Wild Ancient Domain to increase by several percent. Those descendants of the eight ancient clans, let alone seeing the ancient Bodhi tree, have not even set foot in the Wild Ancient Domain. Only the girl Xun'er and the boy Lei Dong finally arrived."

Speaking of Lei Dong, Yao Chen couldn't help but have a strange expression on her face. She had been hanging out in those places of entertainment for decades, and she could tell at a glance what the specific situation was, as Lei Dong was able to hide it from others.

If this is the case, the cloaked man who helped Cai Lin and the others that day should be Lei Dong.

However, although Yao Chen guessed it, he did not publicize it. Since the other party deliberately concealed his identity, it proved that he did not want others to know it, and Yao Chen would not offend others easily.

Then Yao Chen returned to the topic and continued.

"As for the other purpose of the disciples of the eight clans, it is to come and see you, the actual ruler of the Tianhe Alliance."

Yao Chen said this with pride written all over his face.

The force created by our disciples can attract the attention of the eight ancient clans. Although it is still vulnerable in the eyes of those eight clans, it is also proud enough. In the past thousand years, except for the Soul Palace, which has the support of the Soul Clan, is there any other force that has received this honor?

"Really? I understand." Xiao Yan did not ask the disciples of the eight clans why they were looking for him. He nodded solemnly and said, "I will go to Tianhe League tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that due to the reincarnations of hundreds of lives, his temperament had changed greatly compared to before. He spoke slowly.

"The disciples also want to get to know them." (End of this chapter)
