Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After the war, Lingyun Sect was in a miserable state. Most of the magnificent buildings had collapsed, and ruins could be seen everywhere. The ground was covered with traces of battle, and blood had stained a large area of land red. The disciples were busy in the ruins, some were carrying stones, and some were repairing the broken formations. Everyone's face was filled with fatigue and determination.

Xiao Muchen looked at the devastated sect and secretly vowed in his heart that he must make the Dark Alliance pay a heavy price. He knew that in order to achieve this goal, he must improve his strength as soon as possible. Now as an eight-star Dou Zun, he felt powerless when facing many Dou Zun above eight stars in the previous battle. Only by breaking through to the nine-star Dou Zun, or even higher realms, will he have enough strength to lead the sect to fight back.

Xiao Muchen hurried to Mo Lao's residence and bowed respectfully, "Mo Lao, I am here to ask for your advice."

Mo Lao sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and looked at him gently: "Tell me, boy, what do you want from me?"

Xiao Muchen looked solemn: "Master Mo, after the battle, I feel that I am not strong enough. Is there a holy place in the sect that can speed up my cultivation and help me break through to the Nine-Star Dou Zun in a short time?"

Old Mo smiled slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Boy, there is a spiritual abyss, where the spiritual energy is rich, it is a treasure land for cultivation in the sect. But whether you can break through depends on your own luck."

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Muchen's eyes: "Thank you, Mr. Mo, for your guidance."

After bidding farewell to Mo Lao, Xiao Muchen immediately went to look for the ninth-rank magical beast, the Ice Soul Saint Lion. The Ice Soul Saint Lion was tall, with snow-like hair, and exuded a powerful aura.

Xiao Muchen looked at it and said seriously: "Saint Lion, we will face even stronger enemies next. You also need to improve your strength with this breakthrough, and follow me to fight against the Dark Alliance in the future. As long as you can resist the Semi-Saint, it will be of great help to our battle situation."

The Ice Soul Holy Lion raised its head and let out a long roar, as if responding to Xiao Muchen's determination.

Afterwards, Xiao Muchen brought the Ice Soul Saint Lion to Lingyuan. Lingyuan was located in a valley deep in the sect, surrounded by green mountains and clouds. As soon as you step into this place, you can feel the rich spiritual energy that is almost tangible.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then sat cross-legged on a huge rock in the center of Lingyuan. The Ice Soul Saint Lion lay down not far away, ready to practice together.

Xiao Muchen closed his eyes and began to practice the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Technique. As soon as the technique was put into practice, the spiritual energy around him seemed to be attracted and rushed towards him frantically. A huge spiritual energy vortex gradually formed above his head, like a black hole, constantly devouring the spiritual energy around him.

Xiao Muchen carefully guided the spiritual energy into his meridians, and then after being refined by the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Art, it was transformed into pure Dou Qi and stored in his Dantian. He was fully focused and did not dare to be distracted. Every bit of spiritual energy was fully utilized by him to break through the bottleneck of the eight-star Dou Zun to the nine-star Dou Zun.

At the same time, he also divided a part of his spiritual energy to the Ice Soul Holy Lion. The man and the beast continued to practice in this rich spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around them became more and more intense.

As time went by, Xiao Muchen gradually entered a state of ecstasy. His body seemed to merge with the surrounding spiritual energy, and every pore was greedily absorbing the spiritual energy. However, breaking through the bottleneck was not easy. At the critical moment of the impact, he felt a strong resistance, an invisible barrier that blocked his way forward.

Xiao Muchen frowned, sweat dripping from his forehead, but his eyes became more determined. He gritted his teeth and increased the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. The fighting spirit in his dantian was like a surging wave, constantly impacting the bottleneck.

Just as Xiao Muchen was trying his best to break through the bottleneck, something strange happened between heaven and earth. The originally clear sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, which rolled and surged, as thick as ink. Lightning shuttled through the clouds, making deafening roars from time to time.

The earth began to tremble, and the rubble on the small hill next to Lingyuan rolled down, making crackling sounds.

Everyone in the sect stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of Ling Yuan in surprise.

Sect Master Ye Xuan stood on the roof of a palace, looking at the strange phenomenon in the sky, muttering to himself: "Such an amazing phenomenon of heaven and earth, it didn't appear when I broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Zun. This boy has a limitless future!"

The old sect master, Mo Yunxuan, was also startled, and his figure instantly turned into a stream of light and appeared above Lingyuan. He stared at Xiao Muchen closely, with a look of concern and expectation on his face.

At this time, the lightning in the sky had gathered into a huge purple beam of light, carrying the power to destroy everything, and it was bombarding towards Xiao Muchen.

Mo Lao's heart tightened, and he was about to help, but he saw a violent burst of fire energy suddenly erupted from Xiao Muchen's body. The flames burned fiercely, and the air around him seemed to be ignited, and the temperature rose sharply.

Xiao Muchen roared angrily, and without dodging or evading, he went straight towards the thunder.

The moment he came into contact with the thunderbolt, Xiao Muchen's body was completely enveloped by the dazzling lightning. His skin was burned black by the lightning, and his hair stood up, but he still resisted the impact of the thunderbolt.

The Ice Soul Holy Lion was roaring anxiously at the side, his eyes full of worry.

Xiao Muchen constantly mobilized the fighting spirit and the power of the strange fire in his body, fighting a desperate battle with the thunder. Every second seemed to be extremely long, and his consciousness gradually blurred, but the belief in his heart always supported him.

Finally, after a thrilling contest, the thunder gradually dissipated. Xiao Muchen fell from the sky, hit the ground heavily, and fell unconscious.

Mo Lao hurriedly flew over to check on him. Just as Mo Lao was about to heal him, Xiao Muchen's body suddenly burst out with a powerful aura again. This aura was even stronger than before, and it directly broke through the surrounding spiritual energy barrier.

"This... this is the aura of a semi-saint!" Old Mo widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Xiao Muchen slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He felt the surging power in his body and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Not long after, Xiao Muchen returned to the sect. When the disciples in the sect saw him, they cheered.

Xiao Muchen went straight to the sect master's hall and discussed counterattack with the sect master and the elders.

"Master, now that I have made a breakthrough, it is time to launch a counterattack against the Dark Alliance." Xiao Muchen's voice was firm and powerful.

Sect Master Ye Xuan nodded and said, "But the Dark Alliance is very powerful, so we can't act rashly."

Xiao Muchen's eyes sparkled: "We can start with their weaker sects and gradually weaken their strength."

An elder said: "This plan is feasible, but we must also be fully prepared."

Xiao Muchen said: "I will lead the powerful disciples and elders in the sect to go to war together, and make the Dark Alliance pay the price for their actions!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes full of anticipation and determination. A fight back against the Dark Alliance was about to begin.
