SYSTEM??

---

In his previous life, when Xie Tianxiao read novels, descriptions like "Dou Sheng experts could destroy the heavens and shatter the earth with a mere wave of their hands, causing space to collapse," didn't particularly impress him. After all, he had never experienced it firsthand.

But now that he had become a half-Saint and relied on the memories of his predecessor, he finally understood the true meaning of the word "Saint." It represented a level of power so immense that they could easily kill a half-Saint like him.

"But it's okay. According to my predecessor's memories, this is a time when Dou Sheng experts are in hiding. Besides, since I'm a transmigrator, there should be a system, right?"

On Earth, Xie Tianxiao not only read *Battle Through the Heavens* but also many other novels.

For example, those with systems—like Reincarnation Systems, Godly Tycoon Systems, Villain Systems.

There were also systems that turned the host into a puppet, or systems that would erase the host if they failed to complete a mission, including ones where the system turned into a girl. There were all sorts of systems.

Since he had transmigrated from Earth to the Dou Qi Continent, he should have a system, right?

"System, are you there, System?"

Xie Tianxiao called out twice.

"Come out, the transmigrator is here."

"Strange, could it be that there's no system?"

"So there's no transmigration benefit?" Xie Tianxiao muttered as he tried calling for the system a few more times.

After multiple attempts yielded no response from the system, Xie Tianxiao frowned slightly.

"Forget it, I was just overthinking it. Even if there's no system, with my half-Saint cultivation level, I can easily survive in this world."

"Plus, I have read the original novel and know not to provoke those few great clans and Where not to go?"

"Besides, at this stage, I need to get familiar with this new body. It would be pathetic to have the power of a half-Saint but not know how to use Dou Techniques properly."

Xie Tianxiao closed his eyes, carefully recalling the various cultivation techniques and Dou Techniques in his mind.

"Hmm, as a lone cultivator, his wealth is quite abundant."

"There's a pile of techniques and Dou Techniques below the Earth rank, and even dozens of Earth-ranked ones! One of them is a high-level Earth-ranked Dou Technique with power comparable to that of a Heaven-ranked technique!"

"he must have obtained all these techniques from that Dou Sheng's ruins."

"It's a pity, though. This guy wasn't an alchemist, so he only had a few high-grade eighth-tier and some sixth or seventh-tier pills."

After going through his predecessor's belongings, Xie Tianxiao sighed regretfully.

On the Dou Qi Continent, alchemists could refine all kinds of miraculous pills, and their status was extremely prestigious.

However, becoming an alchemist required very stringent qualifications. Most people only possessed one attribute.

Alchemists, on the other hand, must have two attributes, and one of them must be fire. The fire attribute must also contain a trace of wood to act as a catalyst, in addition to exceptional soul power.

But Xie Tianxiao only had a fire attribute, with no trace of wood, so he couldn't become an alchemist.

Next, Xie Tianxiao spread out his hands according to the memories in his mind, slowly condensing a black and a white flame.

"This is the Yin-Yang Twin Flame? Although it's ranked at the bottom, it's still a Heavenly Flame, and it also aids in healing and recovery during battles."

The Yin-Yang Twin Flame was born in the void of the universe. The black and white flames intertwined like the twin fish of yin and yang, swimming around each other.

Yin and yang represent the natural laws and are the source of all things in the world.

 The Yin-Yang Twin Flame born in the source are one of the forms of flames transformed by the source, full of the dual power of life and death, the yang fire saves people, lives endlessly, and the yin fire kills people, leaving no bones left.

Ding!

[Currently absorbing Yin-Yang Twin Flame]

Progress: 90%...

As Xie Tianxiao played with the Yin-Yang Twin Flame, a screen suddenly appeared before him.

"??? I thought there was no system?"

Looking at the screen that suddenly appeared in front of him, Xie Tianxiao was baffled. What happened to the system not existing?

Ding!

Progress: 100%

[Absorption complete!]

The screen before Xie Tianxiao then disappeared!

"System, System."

Xie Tianxiao called out twice more, but there was still no response.

"What's going on? Why is there no response now? Could the interface I saw earlier have been fake?"

"But that doesn't make sense. I can feel that after the screen showed the absorption of the Yin-Yang Twin Flame, my control over it has gone from unfamiliar to perfect, as if I've become one with the Yin-Yang Twin Flame," Xie Tianxiao muttered in confusion.

He was certain that the voice was from the system, and it seemed like a pretty powerful system too.

But for some reason, ever since the screen showed the absorption of the Yin-Yang Twin Flame, there had been no further response.

Moreover, this kind of bug, other than the system, Xie Tianxiao couldn't think of anything else that could instantly make him master his Heavenly Flame and even slightly increase his cultivation.

Don't underestimate that slight increase—at the half-Saint stage, every tiny bit of progress in cultivation is a significant boost. For many people at this level, making no progress in decades or even centuries is the norm.

"What exactly is going on? Could it be that the system requires something special?"

"For example, a Heavenly Flame?"

Unwilling to give up, Xie Tianxiao took out some high-grade pills and placed them in his hand, but the system screen still didn't appear.

"...As expected, it's useless."

"The system only appeared after absorbing the Yin-Yang Twin Flame. It seems I'll have to search for more Heavenly Flames."

After repeatedly trying out all the treasures he could pull out from his body, Xie Tianxiao understood that the system must require something special like a Heavenly Flame to function.

Thus, like his predecessor, Xie Tianxiao would have to search for Heavenly Flames all over the continent.

However, unlike his predecessor who had no idea where to find them and wasted many years without any clues, Xie Tianxiao clearly remembered the locations of most Heavenly Flames.

With the combination of a transmigrator, a system, and being a half-Saint powerhouse, obtaining Heavenly Flames could be said to be a piece of cake!

"Alright, let's start by heading to the Tager Desert to try and get the Green Lotus Core Flame. I'll also go to wu tan city to look at where the plot has reached"

"But it probably hasn't reached the later stages yet. After all, my predecessor never heard of Xiao Yan on his way to Central Continent, and there's no sign of the Yan Alliance in the Northwestern Region." Xie Tianxiao thought.

As a transmigrator, Xie Tianxiao naturally wanted to meet Xiao Yan, the child of destiny in the Dou Qi Continent.

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to try and help Xiao Yan gain benefits just to curry favor and cling to the protagonist, hoping to achieve success by association.

He was already a half-Saint. Even before Yao Lao (Yaochen) died, he wouldn't have been his match. Why would he need to please others? Besides, that wasn't his personality.

Though Xie Tianxiao had only recently started working in his previous life, he deeply understood how easily human nature could be corrupted by interests!

In the face of certain massive benefits, people would even sell their own relatives, let alone in the Dou Qi Continent, where the strong prey on the weak!
