The illusion before them had dissipated, and everything around them returned to reality... The false prosperous Xiao Realm, constructed by Xiao Xuan, now reverted to its desolate state.
Xiao Yi himself was unable to recover for a long time, as the shocking battle in the illusion earlier was truly astounding!
Even as a Dou Zun Expert, Xiao Yi clearly realized that with his current cultivation, if he were to encounter Hun Tiandi, it would be like a mayfly seeing the heavens... To revitalize the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yi now had only one path: to prove the Dao and become an Emperor, a Dou Di!
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible... Xiao Xuan slowly turned around, looked at Xiao Yi, and smiled faintly:
"Little Fellow..."
"This is everything that happened to the Xiao Clan back then, and it's the true situation of the great battle you wanted to know about earlier..."
"Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, how do you feel?"
Xiao Xuan, standing before Xiao Yi, once again became the familiar person, no longer as domineering and murderous as he was in the illusion... This showed that after a thousand years, Xiao Xuan had become a Soul and lost his Physical Body, and his obsession with the events of the past was no longer so deep.
He had also accepted the current state of the Xiao Clan, which had become the Xiao Family... The reason for this was that Xiao Xuan saw hope in Xiao Yi... Hearing Xiao Xuan's voice, Xiao Yi slowly regained his composure and, after a moment, softly said:
"Old Ancestor... Regarding that battle a thousand years ago, there's only one thing I'm clear about in my heart..."
"You are worthy of the Xiao Clan!"
Xiao Xuan heard this, looked down at the expression in Xiao Yi's eyes, smiled faintly, and then softly said again:
"Hahahahaha..."
"Little Fellow, right or wrong, the past is the past..."
"But I wanted you to witness this with your own eyes to tell you that Hun Tiandi of the Hun Clan was very unfortunate that day; he couldn't be completely left behind in the Heavenly Tomb..."
"The ambition of the Hun Clan must be guarded against. You are now the last hope of the Xiao Clan..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.
After all, to achieve the position of Dou Di, Hun Tiandi, although severely wounded by Xiao Xuan and recuperating for a thousand years, had also schemed for a thousand years!
In the current Fighting Qi Continent, a Dou Di had not appeared for a very long time.
Among the eight ancient Dou Di Families, the Xiao Clan was not the only Family experiencing a Bloodline depletion!
It was just the first Family to experience it, and its Bloodline depleted the earliest!
After the Xiao Clan, the Ling Clan was the second to be secretly annihilated by the Hun Clan.
The Shi Clan was also the same; due to the decline of the Dou Di Bloodline, there were no high-level Dou Sheng Experts guarding the Family, making it difficult to maintain the strength and Legacy of the Bloodline. Ultimately, Void Swallowing Flame led people to seal the Shi Realm, and the entire Family was annihilated!
The Medicine Clan, famous for alchemy, was also the same, facing the problem of Bloodline depletion. The Clan Chief, a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, did not choose Xiao Xuan's adventurous approach of impacting the Dou Di realm. Even though the remnant Soul of Emperor Yao was awakened at that time, it could not change the outcome of being annihilated... Xiao Xuan paused, slowly raised his hand, looked at the desolate mountains of the Xiao Realm, and spoke again:
"Little Fellow, I brought you to visit the Xiao Realm this time..."
"Firstly, to let you witness what happened back then, to make you understand the gap between you and true Experts..."
"Secondly, there might still be some useful help for you within the Xiao Realm..."
"After all, you have already reached the Dou Zun realm, and the Earth-rank Cultivation Method I taught you before is of limited help to you..."
"It's time for you to learn a new Cultivation Technique..."
"Here, I first have a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, 'Burning Heaven Ancient Technique,' which I cultivated back then, as a fallback option for you..."
After all, the Earth Rank low-grade Cultivation Method, "Crimson Sun Burning Heaven Technique," that was taught to Xiao Yi could only accelerate his Cultivation to the Dou Zun level!
Now that Xiao Yi had already reached Dou Zun, if he didn't have a new Cultivation Technique to Cultivate, his Cultivation speed would inevitably slow down, and the heights he could reach in the future would also be somewhat limited... "Cultivation Technique..."
Xiao Yi looked up at Xiao Xuan and asked softly.
Xiao Xuan nodded, then softly said again:
"But before that, let's go to another place..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel curious.
After all, after Xiao Xuan's demise, although Hun Tiandi was severely wounded, Void Swallowing Flame was still safe and sound!
The surviving members of the Xiao Clan naturally couldn't escape and were certainly pursued by Void Swallowing Flame and many Experts of the Hun Clan!
During this process, the high-level Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques of the Xiao Clan were all lost, and even quite a few were taken by the Gu Clan!
Even so, the remaining members of the Xiao Clan could not find a foothold in the Central Plains.
Under duress, they had no choice but to go to the imperial capital of the Jiama Empire in the Northwest Continent!
However, without the cultivation resources like high-level Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, the Xiao Clan had no longer produced Experts above the Dou Huang level!
With the demise of Xiao Yi's grandfather, the last Dou Wang Expert, the Xiao Family could no longer even stand firm in the Jia Ma imperial capital and could only settle in the small place of Wutan City...
So Xiao Yi was curious, what kind of Opportunity could still exist within the Xiao Realm that would make Xiao Xuan lead him back... Xiao Xuan seemed to be able to read Xiao Yi's thoughts and then said in a deep voice:
"Little Fellow..."
"Although the Xiao Realm is now in decline, the true Legacy place of my Xiao Clan—the Xiao Clan Ancestral Land—will never decline because of this!"
As Xiao Xuan's words fell, he merely raised his hand slightly, and a spatial energy fluctuation appeared before him...
A spatial teleportation gate, emitting a soft light, then appeared before the two of them.
Xiao Xuan was the first to step into the spatial tunnel, and Xiao Yi, seeing this, quickly followed... As space twisted...
Rolling mountain ranges came into view!
"This place is called the Ancient Xiao Mountain Range, and it is also the ancestral land of my Xiao Clan..."
"It is also the final resting place of the Xiao Clan's Old Ancestor, Emperor Xiao..."
Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yi looked up at the sound, and although the Xiao Realm was barren, the Ancient Xiao Mountain Range before him seemed like an independent Small World, unaffected!
It was still bustling with life... "This place was personally constructed by our Xiao Clan's Old Ancestor. The great power of a Dou Di is beyond our ability to fathom..."
"So even if the Xiao Clan was annihilated, the Hun Clan still had no way to enter this place..."
"Because to activate the Restriction space here, one must use the purest Bloodline Power of the Xiao Clan as a guide to open it..."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he merely raised his hand slightly.
Golden Qi immediately emerged from his palm, and the space at the Ancient Xiao Mountain Range before them also resonated...
The next second, a golden staircase appeared before Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yi, leading directly to the true ancestral land within the Ancient Xiao Mountain Range... Xiao Xuan gestured to Xiao Yi with a look, then ascended the long staircase, walking step by step towards the highest and deepest part of that mysterious space...
