Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 379 Everyone has their own thoughts

On the top of Leishan Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, a rugged and abrupt bluestone stands proudly.

On the bluestone, Lei Dong sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands forming a rather mysterious seal. The incomparably pure energy of heaven and earth lingered around his body like a substance, and faintly, wisps of breathtaking black lightning burst out.

Not far away, a figure in black bowed respectfully, his lips moving, as if he was reporting something to Lei Dong...

"Lin Yuan and Xun'er? I know about this. Ying Qi, please leave!"

"Yes, Lord Lei Dong!" Upon hearing the order, the black-clothed man at the Dou Zun level bowed slightly, and then his body trembled slightly in the void, and then he slid into the void like flowing water, and disappeared strangely on the spot.

Not paying attention to the movements of the man in black, Lei Dong still maintained his training posture, constantly absorbing the energy around him into his body.

And his aura was growing slowly but steadily.

A quarter of an hour later, he changed his hand seal and completely swallowed up the pure energy gathered around his body. Then he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and two dark lightning flashed by, and the space began to distort slightly.

Feeling that he was one step closer to becoming a six-star Dou Zun, Lei Dong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

"Lin Yuan, Xun'er...what is your relationship?"

Thinking of the Shadow Guard's report, his eyes sank slightly, but after a moment he regained his solemnity and determination: "Forget it, no matter what, facilitating the marriage with the Ancient Clan is extremely important to me and the Thunder Clan, and we must not give up easily..."

Although Lei Dong has a good impression of Xun'er, he is more concerned about reality, especially when the Soul Clan has two divine bloodlines.

If he could marry Gu Xun'er and become the son-in-law of the Gu clan leader and gain his support, his chances of successfully growing into a nine-star Dou Sheng in the future would be at least several times higher than it is now.

In today's Douqi Continent, if you want to reach the top, having the support of top powerhouses... is crucial.

Even the clan leader had told him personally that even with his profound strength in Lei Dong's eyes, it would be difficult for him to withstand a few moves from the clan leaders of the Gu and Hun clans.

The difference of one star in the late stage of Dou Sheng is a world of difference.

Although he was defeated by Hun Feng the day before, he was still the best candidate for Xun Er's future husband, and it was far from time to give up. After all, divine blood represented the future, not the present, so the victory or defeat at the moment was not that important.

Thinking of the attraction of the divine bloodline to the ancient clan, Lei Dong felt quite confident - he thought, as long as he worked hard, he would be able to win the beauty one day.

As his thoughts turned, he had already made up his mind: "Since we are going to try our best to get a marriage alliance, it is better to take the initiative!"

"Practice can be done at any time, but there are not many opportunities to meet the young lady of the ancient clan... It cannot be wasted. Besides, it is not a good thing for the future wife to meet with others in private. No matter what, I'd better go and add to the trouble first!"

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up, took a step forward, and his figure immediately disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage that slowly dissipated into the air.

The next moment, a beam of colorful lightning shot out from Thunder Mountain and flew towards the house where the Danta people were staying.
-
On the other side, in Lin Yuan's room, Xun'er quietly looked at Xiao Yan who was in deep thought.

She has informed Xiao Yan of all the important matters - matters concerning the Heavenly Tomb, Xiao Xuan, the inheritance of the Xiao clan, etc., letting the latter know that he is not without a strong foundation, and a smooth road leading directly to the Holy Realm has been paved.

Of course, she also frankly told Xiao Yan about her current helpless situation and some subtle cooperation with Lin Yuan.

"Nizi, thank you so much, and thank you for your hard work!"

After a long time, Xiao Yan came back to his senses, looked at the girl in front of him, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the girl's soft black hair.

His eyes were filled with guilt, pity and gratitude - in order to help him, the girl in front of him had considered too many things and taken on too much pressure.

However, with his current strength, he was unable to help her share the burden at all.

Even more, the girl who used to be behind him is now a Seven-Star Dou Zong, and her strength far exceeds his current strength, and he does not have the strength to protect her.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's desire for strength increased again.

After hearing what Xun'er had just said, Xiao Yan finally understood how terrible the enemies of the Soul Palace and the Soul Clan were, and how bad their relationship with the Xiao Clan was.

Having said that, the benefits that come from being a descendant of the Xiao clan are also ridiculously great.

As long as one can meet Xiao Xuan's ancestor and gain his recognition, one can obtain the Dou Di bloodline that leads directly to the Dou Sheng, as well as the top-level martial arts and fighting skills inherited by the Xiao clan - the quality of which is far superior to the rewards from the martial arts ceremony, and there are even some high-level heavenly items.

It can be said that as long as he can successfully meet the ancestor of Xiao Xuan, he will be able to surpass the vast majority of the children of the imperial family and firmly become a top-level genius on the continent.

Thinking of this, even with Xiao Yan's usually calm temperament, at this moment, his heart couldn't help but be a little agitated.

However, after hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xun'er shook her head gently, held Xiao Yan's big hand with her slender hand, and a helpless smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Xiao Yan...Brother, Xun'er can only do this much!"

She bit her lip lightly, suppressed the awkwardness in her heart, and still used her favorite name, "Next, it's up to you, Brother Xiao Yan! The situation in the clan is very complicated, and it won't be easy for you to obtain the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Tomb."

After a short pause, Xun'er said in a serious tone, "Next time the Heavenly Tomb opens, Brother Xiao Yan must at least have the strength of a Dou Zun. Only then will Xun'er have the confidence to help you get a spot."

Not to mention the obstruction of the elders, entering the Heavenly Tomb without the strength of a Dou Zun would be tantamount to sending one's life.

The environment of the Heavenly Tomb itself is extremely dangerous. Moreover, when it is opened next time, geniuses from other clans will also enter...including people from the Soul Clan.

As far as the Soul Clan is concerned, any talented members of the Xiao Clan who escape the net will always be killed as soon as possible.

In addition to the Soul Clan, Xiao Yan, as Yao Lao's disciple, might also face hostility from some members of the Yao Clan. This is one of the reasons why she is planning to make friends with Yao Ling.

The future attitudes of most people from other clans are also unclear.

As for the Gu Clan, by that time, except for Gu Xun'er herself, most of the others would probably be hostile to Xiao Yan.

She could certainly beg her father to send Xiao Yan to live near Xiao Xuan, and her father might agree. But if she did that, Xiao Yan would not be able to get her father's approval, and it would probably be difficult for him to get the approval of Senior Xiao Xuan either.

Although Xun'er was quite mature in her thinking, she was still too young and had not experienced much of the world. There were still some things she had not thought through. What she didn't know was that when Xiao Xuan discovered the potential of her bloodline, especially when he noticed her love for Xiao Yan, he had already recognized and chosen Xiao Yan in his heart.

Having a lover who may have divine blood in the future, and who is also the daughter of Gu Yuan, is there anyone more suitable than Xiao Yan to revive the Xiao clan?
Xiao Xuan's understanding of divine bloodline is far more profound than that of ordinary people from the imperial family.

On the other hand, as Xun'er's father and an old acquaintance of Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan was not completely ignorant of Xiao Xuan's thoughts, but they maintained a tacit understanding - he also had some thoughts about Xiao Xuan and Tianmu that he could not express clearly.

If Xun'er really insists on marrying Xiao Yan, then he will also seek enough benefits for his beloved daughter.

Xiao Xuan and Gu Yuan each have their own plans in mind, and are currently waiting for Xiao Yan to enter the ancient world and the Heavenly Tomb.

"Do we need to break through to Dou Zun at least?" Xiao Yan's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Xun'er, how much time is left before the next opening of the Heavenly Tomb?"

"About eight years left!" Xun'er parted her cherry lips and said softly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became a little more serious - in eight years, to improve his cultivation from the peak of Dou Wang to the Dou Zun level, this is a huge challenge for someone who does not have the bloodline of Dou Di.

The later the practice progresses, the harder it becomes to improve. After Dou Zong, it’s one star at a time.

If some extraordinary measures are not adopted, it will take a lot of time and energy to break through the bottlenecks between each major realm to reach the subsequent levels of Douhuang, Douzong, and Douzun.

What's worse, it is possible that one's cultivation will stagnate for several years without any progress at the two major bottlenecks of Dou Zong and Dou Zun.

But for Xiao Yan, this is even more difficult.

After all, although his Burning Technique had miraculous effects, the level of the technique was really not high.

The level of a technique has a profound and fundamental impact, affecting both the speed of cultivation and the difficulty of breaking through bottlenecks.

In Zhongzhou, all the powerful forces with some background have core disciples who are basically practicing high-level earth-grade skills. Although the current Burning Decree has swallowed two kinds of strange fire, it is only a quasi-earth-grade skill, and the effect of practicing it is far inferior to that of high-level earth-grade skills.

If Xiao Yan is unable to find a new strange fire and evolve the Burning Technique once more, this technique will not be able to support him in breaking through to the Dou Zun level, and may even be a considerable obstacle in his breakthrough to the Dou Zong level.

In fact, after entering Zhongzhou, Xiao Yan could already vaguely feel the constraints of his martial arts.

More than a month has passed since he devoured the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire and raised his cultivation to the peak of Dou Wang. However, until now, he is still honing his Dou Qi and has not felt the slightest opportunity for a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but become more shaken in his decision to stick with the Burning Decree.

Even if one can successfully find the top ten strange fires to devour and evolve the Burning Technique to the next stage, its quality will hardly surpass the Xiao Clan's clan-protecting technique... Is it really a wise choice to persist and rely so heavily on luck?
The power of various strange fires is indeed strong, but the power of the top fighting skills inherited by the Xiao clan is probably not inferior to the skills of strange fires.

The most urgent task is to try to cultivate to the level of Dou Zun within eight years, and then go to Tianmu to accept the Xiao clan's inheritance.

Thinking of this, the idea of ​​giving up the Burning Technique and practicing other techniques unconsciously emerged in Xiao Yan's mind, making his eyes unconsciously become a little hot.

"Press the technique first, and then synchronize the message with the teacher and decide together."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan suppressed his turbulent heart and looked up at the beauty he had missed for a long time. Xun'er seemed to sense something and looked up to meet Xiao Yan's somewhat fiery gaze.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat charming, however...

"Brother Xiao, the time has come!"

Just as the two were about to talk to each other, Lin Yuan's slightly solemn voice suddenly rang out in the room: "Miss Xun'er, come out! There are uninvited guests, and it seems that they are here to look for you and me..."

Hearing this, Xun'er was stunned, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her delicate eyes.

She quickly stood up, hugged Xiao Yan gently, and hurried outside - for Xiao Yan's safety, she must not let him be noticed by others here.

"Brother Xiao Yan, please take care of yourself!" When she was about to open the door, she paused and looked back at Xiao Yan reluctantly.

"Remember what I just said. Before you break through to Dou Zun, try to avoid contact with people from the ancient clan. Eight years later, as long as you can successfully accept the bloodline inheritance of the Xiao clan, the future of the two of us will be smooth!"

As long as Xiao Yan can recover some of the Dou Emperor's bloodline, Xun'er will be confident that she can successfully resolve the opposition within the clan and be with him smoothly.

The difficulty of marrying a person of Doudi bloodline from another race is completely different from that of marrying a person of abandoned bloodline.

"crunch-"

With a slight sound, Xun'er gently pushed open the door, and then, under Xiao Yan's reluctant gaze, she slowly walked out and walked into the courtyard.
-
In the courtyard, Lin Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing far toward the northwest horizon.

"Over there, Brother Lei Dong is rushing over here quickly. If nothing goes wrong, he will arrive soon." Hearing the noise, he turned around and looked at Xun'er, chuckling, "Xun'er, if you are interested, why don't we go rafting in Sishui in the northwest?"

Hearing this, Xun'er's eyes flickered slightly, and after reacting, she immediately nodded: "That's exactly what I meant, let's go!"

Instead of waiting for Lei Dong to arrive again and then trying to deal with him, it would be better to take the initiative to intercept him to prevent him from discovering Xiao Yan who is still here.

After reaching a consensus, two streams of light rose from the courtyard and flew towards the northwest.

Halfway through the journey, the two ran into Lei Dong head-on.

"You two, what do you want?" Looking at Lin Yuan and Gu Xun'er, Lei Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked loudly.

"Haha, let's go out for some fun." Lin Yuan waved his hand casually and chuckled, "I heard at the festival the other day that Sishui in the northwest of the Thunder Realm and its surrounding scenery are pretty good, so we plan to go for a tour."

After a pause, he invited, "If you are interested, why don't you go with us to take a look?"

"I see!" Lei Dong's eyes flickered, and after glancing at Xun'er, he responded with a smile: "Since Mr. Yaojun has invited me, I will respectfully obey your order. I am familiar with Sishui, so let me be your guide..."

After the voice fell, the three of them looked at each other thoughtfully, and then flew towards the northwest together.
