BTTH: I have a key to travel to Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Chapter 223: One-Star Dou Saint

In a mountain cave, Xiao Tian focused his mind, and a drop of golden blood appeared in his palm. As soon as this drop of blood appeared, the surrounding energy in the heavens and earth began to stir violently.

Without hesitation, he summoned the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and swallowed the drop of Demon Saint blood.

"Boom!"

As the golden blood was devoured, Xiao Tian's clothes were instantly reduced to powder. An extremely terrifying wave of energy emanated from his body, causing the entire small mountain to collapse.

Unconcerned with the outside situation, Xiao Tian concentrated entirely on refining the drop of Demon Saint essence blood to break through his cultivation level.

It must be said that this essence blood belonged to a peak Dou Saint. Even with Xiao Tian's robust body, he felt immensely swollen. If a peak Dou Zun were to swallow this essence blood, they would likely explode and die.

Fortunately, Xiao Tian had the Devouring Ancestral Symbol and various different fires, making it relatively easy to refine the Demon Saint essence blood. As Xiao Tian refined the blood, a terrifying and pure energy swirled around him like a thick liquid mist.

Half a month later, Xiao Tian swallowed another drop of Demon Saint essence blood, and the mist around him grew even thicker.

Days passed, and the thick mist enveloping Xiao Tian suddenly surged. The energy of this entire area seemed to be drawn in, forming a massive energy storm above his head that connected directly to his skull.

In the midst of the mist, Xiao Tian's closed eyes suddenly opened, and two beams of energy shot out, piercing through the sky.

"Whoosh!"

With a deep inhale, Xiao Tian absorbed the energy storm, which was hundreds of feet wide, through his mouth. The storm funneled into his body.

"Boom!"

Instantly, a terrifying aura, like divine might, radiated from Xiao Tian.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The commotion naturally attracted the attention of many powerful members of the Nine Nether Earth Python tribe. Due to Yao Ming's orders, they watched from a distance without approaching.

Xiao Tian slowly exhaled a breath, then stood up. With a thought, a set of clothes materialized on his body, created from his Dou Qi.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao, on reaching the peak of the One-Star Dou Saint realm. Breaking through to the Two-Star Dou Saint realm is just around the corner!" Yao Ming descended, laughing heartily.

"It will take a great opportunity," Xiao Tian shook his head.

The first drop of Demon Saint essence blood had propelled him from the peak Half-Saint to the mid One-Star Dou Saint level. The second drop only brought him to the peak of the One-Star Dou Saint, unable to break through to the Two-Star Dou Saint level.

He felt that each additional drop of essence blood consumed had diminishing returns. Although he could continue to consume more, it seemed wasteful. It would be better to save it for others.

Looking at Yao Ming, Xiao Tian said, "Yao Ming, I'm planning to return. When my friend finishes her seclusion, let her return on her own."

"Understood," Yao Ming nodded.

Seeing that Xiao Tian did not make any excessive demands, Yao Ming felt even more favorable towards him. Despite being a Dou Saint, he had his pride. If Xiao Tian had treated him like a servant, he would have found a way to resist.

"Farewell!"

After bidding Yao Ming goodbye, Xiao Tian used the Space Gate to return to the Starfall Pavilion. His first task upon returning was to find Yao Lao.

"Master, this is for you," Xiao Tian said with a smile, producing a jade bottle with a wave of his hand. The bottle emitted a dazzling golden light, and an extremely powerful energy wave emanated from within.

"What is this?" Yao Lao asked curiously, accepting the jade bottle.

"Master, this is the essence blood of a peak Dou Saint. It should help you break through to the Dou Saint realm!" Xiao Tian explained.

"This is too valuable. You should keep it for yourself," Yao Lao immediately declined.

"Master, I have more," Xiao Tian insisted, pushing the jade bottle into Yao Lao's hands before opening the Space Gate and leaving.

...

In the void of the Space Gate, Xiao Tian's figure appeared. He summoned Little Mink, handing him a drop of Demon Saint essence blood.

"Take this and refine it. It should help you reach the peak of the Reincarnation Stage, perhaps even step into the Reincarnation Realm!" Xiao Tian said.

"Thank you. From now on, my life is yours," Little Mink replied seriously, accepting the blood.

"No need for such formality," Xiao Tian patted his shoulder. "Train hard and prepare for the upcoming battle of the world!"

With that, Xiao Tian exited the Space Gate.

In the Dao Sect, Xiao Tian arrived at the peak where the sect master resided.

"Come in," Ying Xuanzi said, sensing Xiao Tian's presence.

Entering the hall, Xiao Tian sat before Ying Xuanzi and asked, "Master, does the sect have a teleportation array to the Chaotic Demon Sea?"

"The Chaotic Demon Sea?" Ying Xuanzi looked at him. "It is a place more vast and dangerous than the Four Great Realms. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes, I must go," Xiao Tian nodded firmly.

The Chaotic Demon Sea held the Lightning Ancestral Symbol, which he needed to obtain.

"Honestly, our sect does not have a teleportation array to the Chaotic Demon Sea," Ying Xuanzi admitted.

Hearing this, Xiao Tian was disappointed. Although he could fly to the Chaotic Demon Sea using the Space Ancestral Symbol, a teleportation array would be much faster.

"However, I can modify the teleportation array's destination. The only problem is its randomness. I can't guarantee where in the Chaotic Demon Sea you will end up," Ying Xuanzi said worriedly. "The Chaotic Demon Sea is extremely dangerous."

"Don't worry, I can handle ordinary threats," Xiao Tian reassured with a smile.

"If that's the case, follow me," Ying Xuanzi nodded, leading Xiao Tian to a teleportation array.

After adjusting the settings, Ying Xuanzi activated the array.

"This is a one-way teleportation. It will send you to the Chaotic Demon Sea, but I can't guarantee where exactly. You could end up in a dangerous area. You can still change your mind," Ying Xuanzi warned.

"I won't regret it," Xiao Tian smiled, stepping into the array.

"Buzz!"

The teleportation array glowed brightly, and after a spatial distortion, Xiao Tian's figure vanished.
