From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

"Is...I can..."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, the Black Annihilation Army commander was both ashamed and angry, and nodded awkwardly.

The once-declining Xiao Clan is not worthy of the respect of the ancient clans' geniuses, but a seventeen-year-old Dou Zun powerhouse is.

It should be noted that Gu Xun'er is the same age as Xiao Feng, and after she awakened her divine bloodline, she only recently broke through to the Dou Zong level. It will take her at least one or two more years to break through to the Dou Zun level.

Gu Xun'er is already the most talented among the younger generation of the Gu Clan. Even her cultivation speed cannot compare to Xiao Feng's. How can the other Gu Clan disciples have the right to look down on Xiao Feng?

If we have to say that Xiao Feng is trash, then wouldn't the elites of the ancient clans who possess the bloodline of Dou Di and have abundant cultivation resources be even worse than trash?

"Please come with me!"

Seeing that the pressure Xiao Feng had just released was no weaker than that of the four commanders, the Black Annihilation Army commander's attitude became respectful, and he quickly led him to see the clan leader.

After all, Xiao Feng's strength and talent are no weaker than Gu Yao's. Even if the higher-ups in the clan find out about this, they probably won't continue to oppose him being with Gu Xun'er.

By then, Xiao Feng will be the clan chief's son-in-law, and the Black Annihilation Army commander doesn't want to be treated unfairly in the future.

Even without Xiao Feng, that yellow-haired wild boar, an ordinary Black Annihilation Army commander wouldn't be qualified to pursue Gu Xun'er, so why should he offend Xiao Feng to death?

"What terrifying pressure! His strength is probably even greater than that of the Asura Commander, and he should have already reached the peak of the Dou Zun level."

"As expected of a man recognized by the young clan leader, he is terrifying!"

"A seventeen-year-old peak Dou Zun expert? No wonder the young clan leader said he has the potential to become an emperor..."

Watching Xiao Feng and his group leave, the Black Annihilation Army soldiers, who had recovered from their shock, couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.

The principle of the strong being respected applies throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent, and the ancient clans are no exception.

After personally experiencing Xiao Feng's power, the people's hostility towards him gradually turned into awe of the strong.

Ultimately, most of the ancient clan disciples' hostility towards Xiao Feng was more like the displeasure of seeing their school's most beautiful girl stolen away by a blond guy from the neighboring school, and far from reaching the level of hatred for having their wife stolen.

Now that they know that the blond guy from the neighboring school is actually the school's heartthrob and academic genius, and that the two of them are a perfect match when they're together, these sheep naturally dare not cause any more trouble.

Led by the commander of the Black Annihilation Army, Xiao Feng quickly passed through the spatial passage in the Ancient Holy City and arrived at the legendary Ancient Realm, where he met the current patriarch of the Ancient Clan—Gu Yuan!

Although Gu Yuan is actually over a thousand years old, he looks only about forty. He is dressed in simple linen clothes and has a smile on his face, which makes people feel at ease.

Just as Xiao Feng was curiously observing Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan was also calmly observing his future son-in-law.

[A seventeen-year-old at the peak of the second-stage Dou Zun? Just as Ling Ying said, he's an absolute little monster.]

With Gu Yuan's strength at the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, he could naturally see through Xiao Feng's true cultivation level in an instant.

Moreover, after Ling Ying returned to the ancient clan, she gave Gu Yuan a detailed report on Xiao Feng's affairs.

According to Ling Ying's report, when they left Canaan Academy more than half a year ago, Xiao Feng was only a four-star Dou Huang.

Less than a year later, Xiao Feng broke through from a four-star Dou Huang to the peak of a second-stage Dou Zun, which even surprised Gu Yuan.

Just as Gu Yuan was silently observing Xiao Feng, he suddenly bowed to Gu Yuan and said, "Your son-in-law Xiao Feng greets your father-in-law."

Gu Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and he said with a wry smile, "Don't you dare call me that, you brat. When did I say I was going to betroth Xun'er to you?"

“Father-in-law, Xun’er and I are deeply in love. She has long said that she will marry no one but me in this life. I believe you also understand Xun’er’s personality. Once she has made up her mind, not even nine ancient dragons of the Void can pull her back.”

Xiao Feng stopped mid-sentence, then abruptly changed the subject, declaring with domineering confidence, "Moreover, besides me, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, is there another person of the same age who is worthy of Xun'er?"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing Xiao Feng's self-assured demeanor, Gu Yuan was amused and couldn't help but laugh, "You're just like Ling Ying said, a little monster with a skin thicker than a city wall."

However, while the words may be rough, the principle is sound. What you said makes sense. Since Xun'er is so devoted to you, and your cultivation talent is unparalleled in this world, it's really unreasonable for me, as her father, to separate them.

(ω)

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up slightly. He hadn't expected Gu Yuan to be so understanding. It seemed like there was a chance!

Noticing the change in Xiao Feng's eyes, Gu Yuan said with a playful expression, "So, have you prepared your betrothal gifts? If you want to marry my daughter, you'll have to use the most precious treasures on the Dou Qi Continent as betrothal gifts."

[I knew it wouldn't be that simple. How could a father-in-law not find an excuse to make things difficult for his son-in-law when he comes to visit?]

Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly, then took out the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and handed it directly to Gu Yuan, saying, "Father-in-law is right. Xun'er is indeed worthy of the best betrothal gift. This fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is a family heirloom passed down through generations of our Xiao family. It should be enough as a betrothal gift, right?"

!!!

Gu Yuan, who had only intended to tease Xiao Feng, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw that Xiao Feng had actually taken out the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade from the Xiao Clan: "Boy, since you know that this is a fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, you should also know what it represents. Are you really willing to use it as a betrothal gift?"

“Father-in-law, you are underestimating Xun’er’s importance in my heart. Compared to Xun’er, let alone a mere fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, even the complete Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is nothing.”

"Brother Feng!"

No sooner had Xiao Feng finished speaking than a voice trembled with sobs.

Gu Xun'er, dressed in a light blue dress, stood at the entrance of the reception hall, her face filled with emotion and her large, watery eyes brimming with tears.

When Gu Xun'er learned of Xiao Feng's arrival, she rushed over immediately to prevent Gu Yuan from making things difficult for him, only to overhear Xiao Feng's conversation with Gu Yuan.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy to see me?"

Xiao Feng smiled and walked up to Gu Xun'er, skillfully reaching out to put his arm around her slender waist and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

Chapter 244 The Heavenly Tomb and the Undercover Agent (Third Update, Please Vote)

244.

"Brother Feng... I'm not sad, I'm just too happy."

Gu Xun'er sniffed, rubbed her pretty face against Xiao Feng's chest, and then complained to Gu Yuan with some dissatisfaction, "Father, in your eyes, am I not even as good as a fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"

"Xun'er, don't misunderstand, that's not what your father meant."

Seeing that his precious daughter seemed to be really angry, Gu Yuan quickly waved his hand and explained, "I was just joking with this kid. Who knew he would actually take out the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade as a betrothal gift?"

"Xun'er, please don't blame your father-in-law. It was my own choice to use the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade as a betrothal gift."

Xiao Feng gently stroked Gu Xun'er's hair and said, "Besides, if I keep the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, it will only attract the covetousness of the Soul Clan. It would be better to hand them over to my father-in-law for safekeeping!"

Looking across the entire Dou Qi Continent, only my father-in-law could protect this fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in front of the Soul Emperor.

Hearing Xiao Feng speak so eloquently, Gu Yuan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction and cast a grateful glance at him.

At this moment, Gu Yuan also understood why his precious daughter was so devoted to Xiao Feng. How many people could resist such flattery?

"Since Brother Feng has said so, then I won't blame Father."

Gu Xun'er stopped mid-sentence and quickly changed the subject, saying, "But since Brother Feng has already given Father the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Father, as an elder, you should at least give Brother Feng a gift in return!"

"You silly girl~"

Seeing Gu Xun'er's siding with outsiders, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly, then turned to Xiao Feng and said, "What Xun'er said earlier wasn't wrong. Tell me! What do you want as a gift?"

Because Gu Yuan had already accepted Xiao Feng as his son-in-law, he now intended to give him benefits.

As long as Xiao Feng doesn't ask for an exorbitant amount, Gu Yuan is willing to give him two or three Heaven-Rank Battle Techniques if he wants them. After all, with the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in hand, even the old stubborn ones in the clan can't say much.

“Father-in-law, I do have a request. I wish to enter the Heavenly Tomb.”

"The Heavenly Tomb?"

Gu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he frowned as he said, "Boy, the Heavenly Tomb only opens once every twenty years. It has only been less than ten years since the last time the Heavenly Tomb opened. Why don't you make a different request?"

The Heavenly Tomb is a special space created by an ancient Dou Di powerhouse. In this special space, the souls of the dead can survive in their previous state, and the flow of time inside is different from that outside, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

Xiao Feng's initial purpose in entering the Heavenly Tomb was not for cultivation, but to subdue the souls living within it.

Under normal circumstances, those souls cannot leave the Heavenly Tomb.

However, there are always exceptions. Xiao Feng was able to bring those souls into Hueco Mundo to live.

Hueco Mundo is similar in nature to the Tomb of Heaven, and after being transformed into Xiao Feng's subordinate world, it also gained extremely strong growth potential.

For example, when Xiao Feng was still a Dou Zong, the Hueco Mundo could at most forcibly suppress a soul at the Dou Zun level.

With Xiao Feng's cultivation breaking through to the peak of the second-stage Dou Zun, the Void Circle was also able to forcibly suppress the souls of half-saint level beings.

The Heavenly Tomb is home to many powerful souls. If Xiao Feng could bring them into Hueco Mundo and transform them into an army of Arrancars, it would definitely boost his overall strength.

Most importantly, Xiao Xuan's soul is also in the Heavenly Tomb. If he is willing to move into the Void Realm, then Xiao Feng will have another trump card to contend with a Dou Sheng powerhouse.

“Father-in-law, you must have already learned from Ling Ying that I possess the ability to randomly foresee future scenes.”

Xiao Feng half-jokingly said, "If I didn't have the ability to randomly predict the future, I wouldn't have been able to find so many opportunities and break through from a four-star Dou Huang to the peak of a second-stage Dou Zun in less than a year."

Among the many future visions the son-in-law foresaw, one showed his father-in-law forcibly tearing open a spatial passage into the Heavenly Tomb.

"..."

Gu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and his expression turned serious.

Gu Yuan had initially been somewhat skeptical of Xiao Feng's ability to foresee the future, but he never expected that Xiao Feng would even know the secret of how he was able to forcibly open the Heavenly Tomb.

It should be noted that Gu Yuan had never told anyone about this, not even Gu Xun'er knew about it.

Therefore, it is impossible for Xiao Feng to have learned about this through other means, which can only mean that he really has the ability to foresee the future.

"By the way, Father-in-law, you'd better keep the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that I just gave you safe."

Xiao Feng said solemnly, "In the future I foresaw, your Ancient Clan's Elder Gu Yang was actually a spy planted by the Soul Clan."

Once the Soul Clan has gathered all the other fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, he will secretly send the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that your Ancient Clan is keeping back to the Soul Clan.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's expression changed drastically.

Gu Yang is the second elder of the Gu Clan's ancestral hall and a veteran powerhouse in the Gu Clan, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm.

If Gu Yang is indeed a spy planted by the Soul Clan, then wouldn't all of the Ancient Clan's secrets over the years have been exposed to the Soul Clan?

“Father-in-law, from the visions of the future I have foreseen, Elder Gu Yang actually perished a hundred years ago. It was only because the Void Devouring Flame of the Soul Clan merged his soul with that of a member of the Soul Clan that he appeared to be still alive.”

Xiao Feng said with a serious expression, "Please think carefully, Father-in-law, has Elder Gu Yang been living in seclusion all these years and has never shown his face in front of you?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that it seemed he hadn't seen Elder Gu Yang for a hundred years.

Gu Yuan originally thought that Elder Gu Yang was in seclusion, trying to break through to the six-star Dou Sheng as soon as possible. He did not expect that he dared not appear in front of him, afraid that he would see through his flaw.

No wonder the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan always lose more often than they win in their open and covert struggles!

"Father-in-law, please don't be angry. What we need to do now is not to get rid of Gu Yang, but to figure out how to make use of him?"
