"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, is this the internal space of the tombstone?" As the blinding light barrier dissipated, Xiao Xue looked at the ancient and simple hall before her, curiously looking around.
Xiao Se's gaze fell upon Xiao Xuan, who was standing in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a crystal-clear pool, and floating within the pool were several green lotuses emitting a refreshing fragrance.
"Can you tell me the current situation of the Xiao Clan?" Hearing Xiao Xue's question, Xiao Xuan turned around, nodded first, and then asked Xiao Se.
"The Xiao Clan has long since ceased to exist. In my memory, the Xiao Family was just a third-rate, insignificant Family that didn't even possess a Profound RankCultivation Technique. It is hard to imagine that the Xiao Family of the past had actually produced a Dou Di."
Xiao Se sighed and continued, "And now, even that small Family has been wiped out by the Hun Clan. The perpetrator was a Soul Hall Protector of Earth Rank, with the cultivation of a mid-stage Dou Zong. When I had just Advanced to Dou Zong and first came into contact with this level, I vaguely sensed the existence of that Soul Hall Protector. Therefore, I set a trap to lure him out and killed him on the spot. However, I didn't expect that before he appeared, he had gone to the Xiao Family in advance. Apart from a few of us younger generation who were out training, everyone in the Xiao Family was gone, leaving only one young girl who luckily survived. The current Clan Chief was also captured, and it wasn't until some time ago that I rescued him and sent him back to the faction I created."
"Has the Xiao Family actually declined to this extent? It seems the Gu Clan never honored the agreement they made with my Xiao Clan back then." Hearing this, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but frown. During the Xiao Clan's Peak period, there were many Heaven RankCultivation Techniques. Now, not only do they lack even a Profound RankCultivation Technique, but they were also almost wiped out.
The Gu Clan might not have directly attacked, but they certainly must have kicked them while they were down. At the very least, if the Gu Clan hadn't used the name of protecting the Xiao Family to comfortably take those AdvancedCultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques for themselves, the Xiao Family wouldn't have declined so quickly.
"Gu Yuan did not act honorably in this matter." Xiao Xuan looked at Xun'er, his voice filled with dissatisfaction.
"I am sorry, SeniorXiao Xuan. The Gu Clan is not solely decided by my father, so…" Hearing this, Xun'er quickly explained and apologized.
"This is just a case of you entrusting the wrong person. Entrusting the fate of the entire clan to the hands of an outside clan, and then being devoured until not even bones are left—that is just desert." Xiao Se blocked in front of Xun'er.
Being blocked in front of by Xiao Se, Xun'er felt a wave of relief.
"You really do care for this girl. Forget it, forget it. This old man is already a dead person, why bother with these things? The future belongs to you young people. How many people from the Xiao Family are currently alive?" Xiao Xuan waved his hand helplessly and continued to ask.
"Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, Xiao Mei, myself, Xue'er, A Si, plus my two unborn children—currently, as far as I know, only these eleven remain. There were originally twelve, but the last one, who is the son of the current Clan ChiefXiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, defected to the Hun Clan. I did not include him." There was also Blood Axe Xiao Chen, who was controlled by the Purification Lotus Demon Flame in the Demon Flame Space, but Xiao Se did not mention him; explaining it would be too complicated.
"A traitor? What a spineless thing." Hearing that Xiao Yan had defected to the Hun Clan, Xiao Xuan was filled with disappointment. He then said to Xiao Se, "You little guy is quite good, knowing how to expand the Xiao Family's branches."
"This is a must. For this, I took twelve wives in one go." Xiao Se proudly patted his shoulder, his face full of smugness.
This earned him an eye-roll from Xun'er, who was standing to the side.
"You rascal." Xiao Xuan smiled with gratification, then his expression suddenly became serious. He said earnestly, "This time, I brought you and the girl Xue'er to the Heavenly Tomb for three matters."
"Please speak, Ancestor." Xiao Se and Xiao Xue both cupped their hands toward Xiao Xuan.
"The first matter is to teach you and the girl Xue'er the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, and to inscribe the Xiao Clan's clan seal for you. I can sense that you possess five different Heavenly Flames within your body. Although I don't know how you managed it, I believe that the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations will definitely be able to unleash even greater power in your hands than it did for me back then," Xiao Xuan said earnestly.
"The reason I am able to perform Fusion with five types of Heavenly Flames within my body is because I Cultivate a Cultivation Technique that can devour Heavenly Flames. Although it was initially Yellow Rank low-grade, its Rank can automatically improve as the number of devoured Heavenly Flames increases. Now that I have devoured five Heavenly Flames, the Cultivation TechniqueRank has reached Heaven Rank low-grade," Xiao Se explained.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan suddenly understood and smiled, "It seems your Opportunity is not shallow. No wonder you could Cultivate to the Peak level of Dou Zun at this age."
"The second matter is that I am prepared to inject my lifelong Bloodline Power into you. Besides sensing the meager Bloodline Power of the Xiao Family within you, I also sense the Bloodline Power of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, the Bloodline Power of a mutated Ancient Nine-Headed Heavenly Snake, the Bloodline Power of the Void Ancient Dragon, and a powerful Bloodline I have never seen before. If I inject my Bloodline Power into your body, there is no doubt that your Bloodline will reach the Divine Grade, or even surpass the Divine Grade, becoming a brand-new, powerful Bloodline."
"As for the third matter, it will naturally be revealed once the first two are completed."
Xiao Se nodded. Actually, even if Xiao Xuan didn't say it, he could roughly guess that it was the Soul of the Heavenly Tomb.
"By the way, Ancestor, Xue'er is currently still Cultivating an Earth RankAdvancedCultivation Technique. I wonder if you could help me unlock the Restriction on this Cultivation Technique?" As he spoke, Xiao Se took out the Cultivation Technique he had exchanged from the Yan Clan a long time ago.
""Nine Revolutions Fire Dragon Technique"?" Xiao Xuan took it and looked at it, unable to help but feel a bit surprised. He asked, "Isn't this the Yan Clan's town-clan Cultivation Technique? How did you get it?"
"Before coming to the Gu Clan, I encountered an interception by a Hun Clan Dou Sheng. Fortunately, I knew a Dragon Emperor Senior from the Void Ancient Dragon Clan. After he helped me kill that Dou Sheng, the latter's storage ring fell into my hands. This Cultivation Technique was obtained from that Dou Sheng's storage ring." Xiao Se lied without blushing or skipping a beat. Anyway, the Hun Clan wasn't anything good; he might as well throw some dirt on them.
Xiao Xuan nodded. In his view, the Hun Clan could even destroy the Xiao Family, let alone steal the Yan Clan's town-clan Cultivation Technique. Immediately, he wiped his hand over it, and the Restriction set by multiple Advanced Dou Sheng was easily erased.
"I have already removed the Restriction on it. However, currently, our Xiao Clan is thin in numbers and weak in power. Although this "Nine Revolutions Fire Dragon Technique" is good, it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble. Before you possess sufficient strength, it is better to put it away. As for Xue'er, let her learn the Cultivation Technique I used to Cultivate. She is the most outstanding descendant in my Xiao Family apart from you, and she is qualified to learn it." Handing the scroll back to Xiao Se, Xiao Xuan flicked his finger, and a stream of Soul information flowed into the center of Xiao Xue's eyebrows.
Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Arts, Heaven RankAdvancedCultivation Technique.
Can perform Fusion with three types of Heavenly Flames, forging a supreme Realm.
