Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

Moreover, the Xiao family simply went into seclusion, rather than abandoning Wutan City; they merely managed it through Consort Ya.

If we have enough strength, we don't need to worry about Utan City slipping out of our control. If we don't have enough strength, then Gale and Oba are the examples to learn from. Even a dog will bite its master; you have to be strong yourself to succeed.

“But Yuan’er, your uncle has another question.” Xiao Zhan habitually tapped his hand on the table for a while before asking, “The Northwest Continent is the poorest of the Nine Provinces, and the Jia Ma Empire is located in the southwest corner of the Northwest Continent. Its overall strength is inferior to that of the surrounding empires. Wutan City is just a backward large city in the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire.”

"My Xiao family is here, which is no different from living in seclusion, is it?"

Zhang Yuan is right, but there's no need for the Xiao family to hide in some remote mountain valley.

If a force of Dou Sheng level experts comes to attack, hiding seems to be of no use.

"That's because there are better, more secluded places."

Zhang Yuan smiled and raised his hand to put away the Five Elements Spirit Turtle Pearl.

Just then, Xiao Yan's voice rang out from outside the study: "Father, cousin, I'm here."

"Come in quickly," Zhang Yuan urged.

Xiao Yan immediately pushed open the door and entered, arriving beside Zhang Yuan and Xiao Zhan.

Before he could speak, Zhang Yuan took out the Mirage Dragon Pearl and placed it on the table, then said, "Uncle, Brother Yan, don't resist. I'll take you somewhere."

His plan was to send all members of the Xiao family who were related by blood to live in their personal miniature worlds.

In the original timeline, the Yunlan Sect and the Xiao family became enemies. Yunshan was transformed by the Soul Palace into a treacherous person to deal with the Xiao family. Xiao Zhan disappeared, and the Xiao family was hunted down for several years, barely surviving under the protection of the Mittel family.

No one can guarantee that such a situation will not happen again. It is better to be cautious and live in seclusion. Moreover, the spiritual energy in the small world is more abundant, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

This was his way of repaying the senior members of the Xiao family, but young people should not lose their drive, so he arranged for them all to study at Canaan College.

As for entrusting the Xiao family's businesses to Ya Fei, it was a way to avoid waste, to give an account to the older generation of the Xiao family, and also a test for Ya Fei.

Of course, there were benefits to doing this. When Ling Ying broke through to the Dou Zong realm, he discovered that by using his soul power to focus on the person cultivating in the small world, he could obtain some of their cultivation insights.

In other words, the Xiao family members were diligently cultivating in his little world, which was also helping him cultivate.

As his understanding of cultivation techniques and combat skills increases, and by utilizing the power of the Thunder God Diagram training space, he can create more and better cultivation techniques and combat skills that are more suitable for him.

It's a win-win.

After settling the Xiao family in, there were no more worries.

With the backing of a Dou Zong, he no longer puts on airs in the Jia Ma Empire!

Chapter 82 Xiao Zhan's Entrustment, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade!

"gone."

With the power of spatial teleportation, Zhang Yuan led Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan into the small world.

On the table outside, the Mirage Dragon Pearl floated in mid-air, emitting a faint light.

Outside, Lingying disappeared into the shadows, secretly guarding the bead to prevent anyone from disturbing it.

"Where is this place?"

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan were filled with curiosity.

"This is a small world, existing within a near-seventh-tier Void Dragon Pearl. The Void Dragon Pearl is..."

Zhang Yuan patiently explained to the two of them, including "what kind of magical beast the Mirage Fish is", "the relationship between the Mirage Fish and the Ancient Void Dragon clan", and "the power of the Ancient Void Dragon clan".

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yanzi cultivates the Burning Technique. Each time he devours a different kind of fire, it not only evolves the Burning Technique but also undergoes an extreme tempering of his body, making his physical strength comparable to most magical beasts.

Despite his formidable strength, Xiao Yanzi, after becoming a high-level Dou Sheng and mastering the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and other fused strange flames, was almost defeated by a few ordinary physical attacks from the Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun of the Ancient Void Dragon, demonstrating Zhu Kun's power.

Speaking of which, Zhu Kun's daughter, Zi Yan, is at Canaan Academy. She can be considered a top-tier rich and beautiful woman on the continent, no less than Xun'er. Although Gu Yuan dotes on his daughter Xun'er, Zhu Kun is a true doting father.

If one can befriend Zi Yan, or even become her lover, then controlling Zhu Kun, a top expert on the continent, will be a piece of cake.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan touched his nose, not understanding why Zhang Yuan was staring at him.

“Your soul power is strong, so feel the energy of heaven and earth here,” Zhang Yuan said casually.

"Oh." Xiao Yan immediately did as instructed and circulated his internal energy to sense the sensation.

"Hiss!" Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "The concentration is more than three times that of the outside world!"

"What!?" Xiao Zhan's heart skipped a beat.

The energy concentration outside the environment is more than three times that of the outside world, which brings a boost to cultivation speed that is more than just three times!

“That lake is no ordinary lake.” Zhang Yuan pointed to a small lake not far away and said, “It is a spiritual spring called Xuan Yuan Spiritual Water. It is a sixth-grade natural treasure, the main ingredient for many sixth-grade pills, and an important auxiliary ingredient for refining some seventh-grade and eighth-grade pills.”

"Ordinary Grand Dou Masters cannot cultivate directly inside, and ordinary Dou Ling experts can only cultivate for a very short time each day. It is best to take some out and dilute it in water before using it."

"By living in seclusion here, the Xiao family will not have to worry about resources for a long time."

Both Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan's hearts began to pound uncontrollably.

This is the richest man in the town directly inheriting the fortune of the richest man in the country, taking off from the spot.

"You directly obtained a pool of Xuan Yuan Spiritual Water Spring and also got a near-seventh-tier Tai Xu Mirage Dragon Pearl. Young Yuan is really lucky." Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's ears.

The Ancient Dragon of the Void possesses an extremely powerful physical body. After the disappearance of the Ancient Heavenly Serpent and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, it became the undisputed number one magical beast family. It feeds on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and has a natural affinity for spatial power, allowing even the Dou Wang level to traverse space.

When the Mirage Dragon broke through to the seventh level, it perished, having already awakened the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon within its body. In addition, since a Dou Zong powerhouse can already make preliminary use of spatial power, it is perfectly normal for this bead to open up space within it.

In fact, there was indeed a space inside the near-seventh-order Taixu Mirage Dragon Pearl in Zhang Yuan's hand, but the area was not large and it was filled with dragon energy, making it unsuitable for human habitation.

However, he had a feeling that, if the method was right, he could integrate the Mirage Dragon Pearl into his own little world and use its power to make some further modifications to this space, such as creating a world within a world.

Qing Yanjing likes tranquility, so he plans to do some design work on this space.

We'll have to see how things go.

"Uncle, how is it?" Zhang Yuan asked Xiao Zhan.

"What other opinions could I possibly have?" Xiao Zhan chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If you had shown me around here from the beginning, I wouldn't have asked any of the questions that followed. It's a blessing for the Xiao family to be able to move here."

“Father is right.” Xiao Yan’s eyes darted around and he said, “I want to live here from today onwards, so I can cultivate to the Dou Shi realm more quickly.”

Once you become a Battle Master, you can attempt to refine beast fire.

Once you have successfully refined the beast fire, you can try refining the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire.

If the Burning Technique can evolve, then I will embark on a bright future.

“You’re the most anxious one.” Zhang Yuan chuckled and said, “Wait a moment, I still need to make some plans for this space.”

"Let's have dinner first, and talk while we eat."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuan led Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan to the front of the wooden house and called out, "Xun'er, Sister Jing."

Before bringing Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan in, he had already informed the two women to prepare.

Under the watchful eyes of the father and son, Xun'er and Qing Yanjing walked out together.

"Uncle Xiao Zhan, Cousin Xiao Yan." Xun'er nodded to Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan.

She held a special position in the Xiao family, and maintained only superficial politeness with everyone, mainly out of respect for Zhang Yuan.

"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Xiao Yanzi." Qing Yan greeted them in a calm and generous manner.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan were instinctively stunned when they saw her.

Her beauty was beyond compare. Her long white dress fluttered in the wind, exuding an indescribable elegance. She looked down at the clear stream with composure, as if she were born with the spirit of heaven and earth. Even though they had seen beauties like Xun'er and Ya Fei before, they couldn't help but feel a surge of amazement.

She was also an exceptionally beautiful woman, but her beauty was unique; it was a natural beauty, like a lotus emerging from clear water, unadorned and untouched by artifice.

However, their momentary lapse in concentration was brief, and the two quickly regained their composure.

Xiao Yan, looking clear-headed, winked at Zhang Yuan: "Cousin, are you keeping a mistress in a golden house?"

"Keeping a mistress in a golden house?" Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"Uh." Xiao Yan was a little embarrassed for a moment. He had forgotten that there was no such story in the Dou Qi Continent.

"There was a very powerful emperor who loved a woman named Ajiao. He specially built a golden house for her to live in. That's roughly it," Xiao Yan explained.

"Oh." Zhang Yuan nodded as if he understood.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan laughed out loud and asked Qing Yanjing, "You call me uncle?"

A blush rose on Qing Yanjing's cheeks, but she still said generously, "Brother Yuan said that's how we should call you."

“That’s right.” Zhang Yuan nodded and said, “That’s how it should be called.”

"Alright, alright." Xiao Zhan smiled, took out a box from his storage ring, and handed it to Qing Yanjing, saying, "This is something that Yuan'er's mother prepared for him a long time ago. I'm giving it to you as a gift."

"Thank you, Uncle." Qing Yanjing's eyes brightened slightly, and she did not refuse.

After he took the box, Xiao Zhanlu pondered for a moment, then took out another one and handed it to Xun'er, saying, "Xun'er, this is for you."

Before Xiao Zhan could finish speaking, Xun'er had already reached out and taken the box, her eyes filled with undisguised joy.

Clearly, this was a gift prepared by Yuan's mother for her future daughter-in-law.

Although she was somewhat speechless about how many copies she wanted, she still wanted them!

"Let's have dinner."

Zhang Yuan smiled gently and led the way around the wooden house to a pavilion at the back.

The dishes that Qing Yanjing had prepared in advance were already laid out on the table, making one's mouth water at first glance.

Zhang Yuan sat in his seat, with Xun'er and Qing Yanjing on either side of him, and Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan sitting opposite them.

"Sister Jing, is the wine you asked me to brew ready?" Zhang Yuan asked softly.

"Both are ready." Qing Yan smiled and took out two wine gourds from her storage ring.

Zhang Yuan first removed the stopper from one of the wine gourds, poured a cup for everyone, and said, "This is a fruit wine, which can also be considered a beverage. It is brewed from nine kinds of third-tier spiritual fruits and has the effects of beautifying the skin, nourishing the meridians, and repairing hidden injuries."

After pouring the wine, Zhang Yuan picked up the empty cup and poured the wine into another gourd, saying, "Senior Yao, why don't you come out and have a drink too?"

Everyone present was one of their own, and Qing Yanjing and Xun'er were both tight-lipped.

Xiao Zhan is Xiao Yan's father, and now that the time is right, it's also a good opportunity to let him know about Yao Lao's existence.

"Teacher is a soul, can he drink alcohol?" Xiao Yan asked doubtfully.

"Hehehe." The old doctor's figure appeared out of thin air in the empty seat next to Xiao Yan, picked up the wine cup and said, "If it were ordinary wine, you could drink it but you wouldn't be able to taste it, but the wine in this cup is extraordinary."
