Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

"I didn't expect you to know that I come from the Medicine Clan."

"It seems you've gathered a very comprehensive amount of information."

Xiao Yan was also somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

This is a force related to the Dou Di!

This was the first time he had ever heard of these secrets.

"Not only that, Xun'er is actually from an ancient imperial family."

"Moreover, her ancient clan ranks second in strength among the ancient imperial clans."

Xiao Yan's eyes widened immediately when he heard that Xun'er was also a member of an ancient imperial clan.

"what!"

"That girl is actually from an ancient imperial clan!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan was also starting to lose his composure.

The old doctor wasn't particularly surprised.

He already had some suspicions.

He knew beforehand that Xun'er was no ordinary person.

"But... how did Xun'er end up in our Xiao family?"

"Shouldn't she stay in Zhongzhou?"

Xiao Yang did not answer Xiao Yan's question immediately, but continued to speak.

"We'll talk about Xun'er later. Let's first discuss why the Xiao family and the Soul Palace are enemies."

Upon hearing this, a hint of curiosity flashed across Yao Lao's face.

"There are currently seven ancient imperial clans."

"They are the Soul Clan, Ancient Clan, Medicine Clan, Flame Clan, Thunder Clan, Spirit Clan, and Stone Clan."

"However, in fact, there were eight ancient imperial families a thousand years ago."

"The eighth one is the Xiao clan!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was immediately startled, and some speculations flashed through his mind.

As for the old doctor, his face was full of shock.

He had heard of the Xiao people before.

But as far as he knew, the Xiao tribe had long been wiped out.

Therefore, the old doctor had never associated the Xiao family with the Xiao clan before.

But now that Xiao Yang said that, Yao Lao suddenly understood something.

"Brother Yang, you mean..."

"Yes, our Xiao family is actually the former Xiao clan."

Xiao Yang said with certainty.

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with complex emotions at this moment, including shock, confusion, and bewilderment.

"But... how... is this possible?"

"If we were an ancient imperial clan, would we have fallen to a small place like Wutan City?"

"Have you ever thought about why, if a Dou Di has descendants, those descendants would all become a large family?"

Xiao Yang did not answer immediately, but looked at Xiao Yan and said.

He didn't expect Xiao Yan to answer, but continued speaking.

"After breaking through to the Dou Di realm, you will gain tremendous benefits as long as your bloodline is close to that of the other party."

"This is also known as the Awakened Fighting Emperor Bloodline."

"For example, if you break through to the Dou Di realm, your uncle, Brother Ding, Brother Li, and I, and even the current members of the Xiao family, will immediately awaken their Dou Di bloodline and possess great strength."

"Now, even the weakest members of the Xiao family will instantly become Dou Zong or Dou Zun. My uncle, Brother Ding, Brother Li, and I will even become Dou Sheng in an instant!"

"Moreover, these bloodlines can continue to be passed down as long as they are not diluted too much."

“Ancient imperial clans like those that have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years can still produce a large number of geniuses by relying on the bloodline of the Dou Di.”

"One can even reach the level of a Battle Saint by relying on the bloodline of a Battle Emperor!"

"This is why the descendants of the Dou Di family are so powerful."

Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"Brother Yang, you said we were the Xiao tribe in the past, then aren't we..."

Xiao Yang shook his head.

"We are indeed the former Xiao clan, but we have almost completely lost the bloodline of the Dou Di."

"A thousand years ago, our Xiao clan produced an extraordinary genius—Xiao Xuan."

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan..."

Xiao Yang directly told Xiao Yan about Xiao Xuan's information and his attempt to break through to the Dou Di realm by condensing his bloodline.

"It is precisely because of this that we, the descendants of the Xiao clan, have also lost the bloodline of the Dou Di."

Upon hearing this, a hint of regret flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.

However, he quickly added with a smile.

"It's alright, Brother Yang. I believe that even without the bloodline of the Dou Di, we can still break through to the Dou Sheng realm through our own abilities!"

Xiao Yan's eyes were full of confidence at this moment.

The old doctor watched Xiao Yan from the side, his eyes full of satisfaction.

Xiao Yang said sarcastically.

"A mere fighting saint? How can you lack such confidence?"

As he spoke, he patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder twice.

"Be ambitious! We will do what our ancestors couldn't!"

"Set your sights straight on the Emperor of War!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan did not hesitate or waver, but instead laughed and said in response.

"Yes, Brother Yang is right, we can definitely become Dou Di!"

Having fulfilled the three-year agreement, Xiao Yan seemed to have returned to the genius he once was.

He was still as spirited as ever, with a hint of youthful arrogance in his eyes.

However, because of the three years of hardship that caused his "talent to disappear," he lost his former arrogance.

What remains is unparalleled confidence.

Xiao Yang still had that faint smile on his face, but his eyes held the same confidence.

Looking at the two brothers in front of him, Yao Lao felt for some reason that they might actually become Dou Di in the future.

Looking at the two brothers, Yao Lao even had a hint of envy in his eyes.

He used to be so full of vigor, but now, all that's left is his soul.

After the two calmed down, Xiao Yang continued.

"Because the ancestor Xiao Xuan failed to break through by gathering all the Dou Di bloodlines of the Xiao clan, the Xiao clan's strength was greatly diminished."

"In the end, the Soul Clan seized this opportunity to prepare to wipe out the Xiao Clan in one fell swoop."

“Our Xiao family is a branch that escaped from the Xiao clan.”

"The people behind the Soul Palace are none other than the Soul Clan!"

"Therefore, we have a blood feud with the Soul Hall!"

"The Soul Palace has also been searching for us Xiao clan members who escaped."

Chapter 347 Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly realized what was happening.

The hatred of annihilating a clan is indeed a blood feud.

With a thought, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that Xiao Zhan had given him appeared in his hand.

"Besides that, there's also the reason for this piece of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."

Then, he introduced the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to Xiao Yan.

Of course, he also mentioned the uses of the Tuoshegu Emperor Jade.

Upon hearing that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was actually the key to the Dou Di Cave, Xiao Yan showed no greed whatsoever.

On the contrary, he was even somewhat worried.

He knew that while a common man is innocent, possessing a treasure is a crime.

Such things were in the hands of the small Xiao family.

If it's leaked, the Xiao family will definitely be finished.

Just then, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something.

His expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Brother Yang, the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is so important, so why did Xun'er come to the Xiao family...?"

Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Yan's unpleasant face and said irritably.

"That's certainly the purpose, but what kind of good person would allow a child who's only a few years old to steal the key to the Dou Di's cave?"

"I think the ancient clan has this idea, but Gu Yuan sent Xun'er here because he still wants Xun'er to grow up outside the ancient clan."

"After all, the atmosphere in a large family is sometimes not very good."

"You can ask the old doctor about that."

At this point, the old doctor's expression became somewhat complicated.

In fact, Xiao Yang didn't know why Gu Yuan would let Xun'er come to the Xiao family.

Steal the ancient jade from Tuoshe, instead of sending Xun'er.

It's not difficult for him to get what he wants.

Xiao Xuan entrusted the Xiao clan to Gu Yuan, and even the Xiao clan's martial arts techniques and fighting skills were with the Gu clan.

Although the Xiao clan is indeed reduced to just the Xiao family.

However, Xiao Yang speculated that Gu Yuan was still paying attention to it.

However, something unexpected may have happened.

Otherwise, Gu Yuan would never have known that this small Xiao family was actually a descendant of the former Xiao clan.

He may also have the idea of ​​taking care of the Xiao family.

However, as a clan leader, he would certainly prioritize the interests of the ancient clan.

The martial arts and fighting techniques of the Xiao tribe are extremely valuable and very important to the ancient tribes.

Therefore, he can keep the Xiao family in existence, but he will not help the Xiao family to grow stronger again.

As for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, Gu Yuan did not attach much importance to it.

After all, it's too difficult to collect them all.

Therefore, the main purpose of sending Xun'er here was not to obtain the ancient jade.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that Xun'er hadn't come specifically for the ancient jade.

"The Soul Clan has always wanted to collect all eight pieces of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to open the Doudi Cave."
