Chapter 279: Xiao Yixian Breaks Through to Dou King! The Land of Sacred Falling!

The Fallen Forest!

The Ruins!

Upon hearing this fragmented voice, Xiao Yixian's steps suddenly halted, a faint smile appearing on her pretty face as she continued to eavesdrop with interest.

"How many people know about this?"

"Not many, this information was told to me by a friend who frequently ventures deep into the Fallen Forest!"

"Then let's move quickly. If we can obtain some treasures from the ruins, our success as brothers will be just around the corner."

Shortly after, as the two conversing individuals departed, Xiao Yixian also slowly emerged from the alley, continuing towards the shop selling poisonous insects. However, she kept the ruins she had just heard about in mind, planning to visit after breaking through to Dou King.

Next, Xiao Yixian's process of purchasing poisonous insects went smoothly, without anyone bothering her like Han Dashao.

"Now everything is almost ready. It's time to leave the Sweet City."

Muttering to herself, Xiao Yixian decisively headed out of the city. Shortly after leaving the city, she directly entered the adjacent dense forest from somewhere along the main road. She then found a relatively secluded cave within the forest.

Upon entering the cave, Xiao Yixian was greeted by a half-person-height bathtub filled with water. She slowly added some poisons she had acquired during this period and the toxins extracted from the poisonous insects into the bathtub.

When the color of the liquid in the bathtub gradually turned deep green and continued to bubble, Xiao Yixian submerged herself directly into this highly poisonous bath.

And she kept eating some extremely poisonous substances in her mouth.

Almost the moment she jumped into the bathtub, the toxins in the green liquid began to surge frantically towards her body. Without actively guiding them, Xiao Yixian's body automatically absorbed these toxins, which then transformed into extremely pure Dou Qi flowing throughout her body.

As Xiao Yixian's internal cultivation technique began to operate, the speed of toxin absorption became even more terrifying.

After several hours, in the cave where Xiao Yixian was located, including the nearby vegetation, everything had withered, appearing completely desolate.

Within the cave, Xiao Yixian, soaking in the poison, gradually noticed that the Dou Crystal in her body had disappeared, and her Dou Qi no longer needed to circulate through the vortex but emerged directly from her meridians.

Sensing this scene, Xiao Yixian slowly opened her eyes. With a slight tremble of her delicate shoulder, suddenly, her Dou Qi surged out from her body, following a peculiar meridian route, finally bursting out from her back.

"Pong!"

With the explosion of the already empty bathtub, a pair of purple Dou Qi wings shot out fiercely from behind Xiao Yixian.

Slightly tilting her head, Xiao Yixian looked backward. A purple glow illuminated her delicate face, and then, a slight curve quietly spread from the corner of her mouth.

"Dou Qi Wings!"

Xiao Yixian was very clear about what Dou Qi Wings represented in terms of her own strength. It meant that she had completed one of the tasks set by Guhe.

"I finally broke through to Dou King!"

Muttering to herself, Xiao Yixian slowly stood up, preparing to walk towards the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, her brows furrowed.

She sensed faint footsteps outside the cave with her keen senses.

"Huh, why have all the plants here withered? Could there be something in the cave causing the death of the vegetation?"

"I guess there might be some highly toxic substance inside."

"Should we go in and check?"

"Maybe not. We've already wasted a lot of time preparing things in the city. If we don't hurry, we might miss the opening of the ruins!"

"We're already here. It won't take long to go in and check!"

Following that, Xiao Yixian heard several somewhat familiar voices.

These voices were identical to those she had inadvertently heard in a secluded alley in Sweet City.

"Wow, what a coincidence!"

Her eyebrows relaxed, and Xiao Yixian's lips curved into a faint smile as she slowly walked out of the cave.

...

"Ah! Such a terrifying aura!"

Not long after Xiao Yixian had just reached the mouth of the cave, two exclamations suddenly came from outside.

Within her line of sight, there appeared the figures of two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, both dressed in black robes.

"Esteemed senior, we were just passing through this place. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us."

The slightly chubby man among the two looked somewhat flustered as he explained.

Both of these men were only high-level Great Fighter practitioners, so encountering a powerful Dou Ancestor like Xiao Yixian in this deep mountain forest naturally made them a bit afraid.

Seeing the reaction of the two men, Xiao Yixian gradually suppressed her aura and approached them slowly.

"Two sirs, could you tell me the specific location of the ruins you mentioned in the Fallen Forest?" Xiao Yixian's face carried a faint smile as she spoke softly.

"Ah, the ruins!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yixian inquire about the ruins, the two men were visibly taken aback.

We only mentioned the ruins earlier, not the Fallen Forest. How did she know?

Although the chubby middle-aged man felt puzzled, he dared not ask further questions.

"Esteemed senior... would you also like to visit the ruins?" The thin middle-aged man stuttered a bit.

"Yes, please tell me everything you know!" Xiao Yixian's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"What should we do? It seems like she knows something, and we might not be able to hide it."

"Hide what? This woman is so powerful. She's speaking with us nicely now, but who knows what might happen later."

After exchanging a few whispers, the chubby and thin men suddenly became resolute.

"Esteemed senior, I also heard about the ruins from a friend. My friend's family has lived nearby for generations, and there's a legend there. It's said that there was once a saint who fell in the Fallen Forest. Therefore, they call that area the Land of Sacred Falling. Of course, many people think it's just a joke. In a place like the Cloud Empire, where even Dou Ancestor-level experts are rare, how could there be relics left by a saint?" The chubby man explained in detail.

"The Land of Sacred Falling!"

Upon hearing the description from the chubby man, Xiao Yixian's heart couldn't help but feel excited.

Xiao Yixian had read some information about ruins in ancient books. Some relics left by ancient powerhouses might be buried or lost over time, but there were also some that could resurface by chance.

Although the credibility of what these two men said was not high, Xiao Yixian still wanted to try her luck.

After all, anything left behind by a Dou Ancestor powerhouse undoubtedly possessed an irresistible allure to anyone.
