["Does the host accept the iance of the Dev Soul Art?"]

  As Gu He's sciousness made tact with the bck scroll, the system's prompt tone sounded.

  "I accept!"

  Without hesitation, Gu He made a direct choice. In the moment, Gu He felt a bit dizzy as a myriad of information flowed into his mind. tless streams of informatioered him like aremely sharp bde, cutting open his skull and surging into the depths of his mind.

  With his eyes tightly closed, Gu He's mind slightly trated, immersing himself iorrent of information. After a long while, a faint yer of cold sweat g to Gu He's eyeshes, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared at the er of his mouth.

  Until the end, Gu He's chest was heaving rapidly, clearly indig his extreme excitement at this moment. Absorbed in the profound information in his mind, Gu He remained pletely still. It wasn't until three hours ter that he slowly opened his eyes, his pitch bck pupils radiatiement.

  "The Dev Soul Art actually directly e others' souls to enhane's own soul power!" Recalling the tents of the Dev Soul Art in his miement appeared in Gu He's eyes.

  "Not only that, while dev another's soul, the Dev Soul Art also allow me to view their memories!"

  "This ability is truly terrifying!"

  Thinking of the extraordinary effects of the Dev Soul Art, Gu He couldn't help but marvel at its power as an Emperrade teique.

  For an alchemist, the most crucial aspect was the cultivation of soul power. pared to cultivating Dou Qi, cultivating soul power was far more difficult.

  Moreover, as one progressed, enhang soul power became increasingly challenging. This was also why on the Dou Qi ti, there were very few high-level alchemists.

  Now that Gu He had mastered the Emperrade teique, the Dev Soul Art, he could directly enhance his soul power by ing others' souls.

  For other alchemists, this was equivalent to gaining an unfair advantage. After a long while, the excitement in Gu He's heart gradually subsided, repced by a ptive expression in his eyes.

  Though the Dev Soul Art was immensely powerful, it couldn't be openly used. Once exposed to the light, this bizarre and abnormal teique would undoubtedly attrawatention. Even as a Rank 6 alchemist, Gu He might not be able to protect himself.

  Hence, if Gu He were to use the Dev Soul Art iure, he o be extremely cautious.

  "Let's stabilize my cultivation first." sidering that he had rapidly elevated a signifit portion of his cultivation, Gu He was slightly worried about potential instability. He returo his room to rest for a while.

  "Elder Gu He..."

  Just as Gu He was about to lie down and recuperate, a clear and melodious voice, akin to a pearl falling onto a jade pte, suddenly sounded from outside the alchemy room.

  Hearing this voice, Gu He blinked in surprise, and a and noble figure fshed through his mind.

  Yun Yun? What was she doing here?

  The memories of his previous life, where he pursued Yun Yun, remained deeply ingrained in Gu He's mind. Naturally, he could immediately dis the voice outside as belonging to Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Yun La.

  Could it be that the aura I emitted during my breakthrough just now leaked out and was detected by Yun Yun? Such a possibility crossed Gu He's mind.

  This shouldn't have happened! In accordah Gu He's thoughts, even if the alchemy room were to explode during the process, it wouldn't have any impa the outside world. There was no reason his breakthrough aura would leak out.

  Baffled internally, yet Gu He couldn't afford to be dismissive of Yun Yun outside. After all, she was the Yun La's Sect Master, and moreover, a Dou Emperor-level powerhouse.

  Creak! Gu He rose slowly, swiftly opehe room's door, and addressed her. Immediately, a figure dressed in greeered Gu He's view.

  Although he had absorbed the memories of his previous life and held a profound image of the woman's appearance, seeing her in person still prompted an involuntary sense of awe.

  The woman was enveloped in a simple gown that atuated her curvaceous figure. Her hair was elegantly tied into a phoenix-themed accessory, while her beautiful and serene tenance carried an air of refi and nobility that the modest attire couldn't hide.

  The woman wore a white gown, and her raven-bck tresses cascaded like a waterfall down to her slender waist. Her exquisite features, remi of a fairy detached from mundane s, were imbued with ahereal tranquility that carried no trace ance.

  While Gu He was taking in her appearance, Yun Yun was also him. "Seniu He, why do you seem a bit different from before?" As she gazed uporaordinarily handsome and charismatic Gu He, Yun Yun's heart stirred.

  "Seniu He, are you alright?" Soon after, notig his prolonged gaze, Yun Yun's brows slightly furrowed, a hint of dissatisfa in her bright eyes. Upon hearing her, Gu He snapped out of his reverie, a hint of embarrassment surfag in his eyes.

  Damn, this is awkward... Cough...

  He cleared his throat, cealing his unease, and shifted his gaze back to Yun Yun befently inquiring, "Master Yun, what brings you here today?"

  Seeing Gu He withdraw his gaze, and recalling her purpose for ing, Yun Yun's expression softened. She slightly parted her crimson lips and expined, "Seniu He, I have e to request your assistan refining a Gathering Qi Pill."

  Having said that, Yun Yuended her fair hand, revealing a ste ring in her palm. "Here are the materials for refining two Gathering Qi Pills. I apologize for the imposition, Seniu He."

  Hearing this, Gu He was taken aback, "Refining Gathering Qi Pills?"

  So, this woman came to seek alchemical aid. Hold on... Gathering Qi Pills! Suddenly, a thought resurfaced in Gu He's mind. Could it be?

  To validate his assumption, Gu He smiled faintly, his toinged with curiosity, "Master, the fun of the Gathering Qi Pill is to allow a Ninth Stage Dou Qi practitioo fwlessly deheir Dou Qi whirlwind, achieving a hundred pert success rate, am I correct?"

  "I recall that Yanran has already broken through to the Dou Practitioner level, so why..." Gu He trailed off, his gaze slightly puzzled as he looked at Yun Yun. Hearing this, a hint of annoyance flickered in Yun Yun's heart, finding Gu He a bit meddlesome in matters that didn't him.

  Yet, sidering the tributions Gu He had made to the ist Sect over the years, Yun Yuated for a moment and decided to expin, "As you know, Yanran still carries an e. Her fiancé is merely a Third Stage Dou Qi practitioner, and she doesn't approve of this marriage. She intends to go to Utan City to break off the e."

  "While breaking off an e might seem inappropriate, I support her decision to ensure Yanran's peaind in her cultivation." "sider this Gathering Qi Pill as pensation for that young man." Yun Yun's tone held a touch ret.

  After all, the matter of breaking off es wasn't the most honourable approach taken by the ist Sect.

  Just as he suspected! After hearing Yun Yun's expnation, Gu He immediately uood everything.The Gathering Qi Pill he was to refine was meant for Xiao Yan. Before long, Nan Yanran would take this Gathering Qi Pill and forcefully break off the e at the Xiao Wu Tan City.

  Thus, the storyline of "Battle Through the Heavens" would begin with Nan Yanran's decisive break from the e.

  Because of Nan Yanran's resolute a, Xiao Yan would find the motivation to grow stronger and ultimately thwart Hun Tian Di's scheme. Hun Tian Di probably never anticipated that his downfall would be triggered by Xiao Yan's broken e.
