Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 130 The Settlement Family

"So that's how it is. The Gate of Life and Death has such benefits."

Wang Ming took a sip of tea and said.

"Oh dear, what a loss! If I had known, I would have gone with you instead of fighting with that old devil Jia Xingtian. I feel like I could have become a Dou Zong if I had gone with you."

Fighting that old devil Jia Xingtian was exhilarating, but it's nowhere near as satisfying as improving my cultivation.

Hai Bodong said with some distress that since returning to the Mittel family, he had been in seclusion to cultivate, switching to intermediate-level Earth-rank techniques and Earth-rank combat skills. After completing all his cultivation, Hai Bodong went to fight Jia Xingtian.

In this battle, Hai Bodong had the advantage throughout. Although Hai Bodong was an eight-star Dou Huang while Jia Xingtian was at the peak of Dou Huang, Hai Bodong's cultivation was lower than Jia Xingtian's.

In reality, Hai Bodong relied on the endurance of his intermediate-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, his pure battle qi, and the power of his Earth-rank battle skills to make Jia Xingtian flee in terror.

Hai Bodong immediately unleashed the Xuanbing Dragon Soaring with eight ice dragons, leaving Jia Xingtian struggling to dodge. Hai Bodong ultimately defeated Jia Xingtian with the mid-level Earth-rank combat skill, Blood Frost Extreme Heaven.

Jia Xingtian, the guardian of the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire and known as the strongest among the ten strongest in the Jia Ma Empire, was defeated by the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. The entire Jia Ma Empire, and even the Chuyun Empire, Jinyan Empire, Mulan Empire, and Snake-Man Empire, were surprised, especially Jia Xingtian's old rivals.

"By the way, teacher, the dean contacted me a while ago and said there's something he needs us two alchemists with different flames to do, and there are quite a few benefits. Would you like to go?" Xiao Li told Wang Ming about what Mang Tianchi had done earlier.

"Oh? I might as well go. I'd like to see what kind of treasure a senior like Mang Tianchi has brought out." Wang Ming said, stroking his chin. He was also very curious about what kind of treasure it would be.

"I won't go this time. I'll stay in the sect for a while and let Yun'er go with Xiao Li," Yun Shan said, waving his hand. He wanted to cultivate the "Cloud and Smoke Covering the Sun Technique" and the "Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique".

"I won't go either. I've been away from the family for so long, and I heard that my eldest grandson was even beaten up. I've decided to stay in the Xiao family." Xiao Ting had also heard on the way that something had happened in the Xiao family, and that the head of the Xiao family had been injured.

Xiao Ting naturally couldn't stand it. Now that he had completely stabilized his cultivation and become a one-star Dou Zong, he wanted to see who was so blind!

"Since none of you are going, I won't go either. I feel like I'm about to break through to the ninth star after defeating the old ghost Jia Xingtian. I'll be in seclusion for the next period of time to break through to the ninth star!" Hai Bodong also declined to go.

"In that case, teacher, let's set off in seven days. I'll go back to the Xiao family first." Xiao Li prepared to return to his family first.

"Um."

. . . . . .

The Xiao family

At this moment, several little ones were standing in front of Xiao Li, the oldest being seven years old and the youngest only two years old.

Standing here are a few of the more promising newborns in the Xiao family, personally examined by Xiao Ting.

They are Xiao Wan, Xiao Che, Xiao Ding, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Li, and Xiao Yu.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li are Xiao Zhan's sons, and Xiao Lin's two eldest grandsons.

"Hmm, not bad. You are all the future of the Xiao family. Except for Xiao Wan, you should all call me Grandpa. It doesn't matter whether you are my cousin or my great-uncle. Today, Grandpa is going to give you a great opportunity."

This is both a blessing and a burden for you. You will have to fight for the revival of the Xiao family in the future. The burden on your shoulders is heavy, but rest assured, Grandpa Li will shoulder it with you! Are you ready?

Xiao Li looked at the little ones and said loudly.

The little ones exclaimed in unison, "Always ready!"

"Great!" Xiao Li was overjoyed, and then took out a jade bottle.

"Children, please sit down."

Xiao Li poured out the Dou Sheng bone marrow and personally fed it to the six children, using Yang Fire to help them channel the energy of the Dou Sheng bone marrow.

The marrow cleansing and purification of the Dou Sheng's bones is enough to raise the talent of these little guys several levels. Xiao Li plans to give these little guys the aptitude to compete with the geniuses of Zhongzhou or even the geniuses of the imperial clan!

Besides the Dou Sheng bone marrow, Xiao Li also prepared a Shi Dan. Xiao Li refused to believe that an eighth-grade alchemist could be no match for the sixth-grade or seventh-grade bloodline of the imperial clan!

As for the imperial clan's members with bloodlines above the eighth rank, that's up to Xiao Yan. Xiao Li is now just waiting for Xiao Yan's birth. However, Xiao Zhan's wife is still not pregnant. Xiao Yan's birth means the main storyline is about to begin, and Xiao Li will start making his plans.

Xiao Li has placed his hopes on Xiao Yan, and he will further enhance Xiao Yan's aptitude, so that the geniuses of the continent and the imperial clans can see just how terrifying the Flame Emperor is after being carefully nurtured and cultivating the Burning Technique!

Soul Clan! You're doomed!

Xiao Li cleansed the marrow and bones of these six children, and then tested them with his soul power. Their talents had indeed improved a lot, even better than Xiao Li himself when he was young!

"Children, remember, although I have enhanced your talents and you are now geniuses, you must not be arrogant or complacent. In this Gama Empire, you can stand out from the crowd."

But in this vast Dou Qi Continent, it's nothing special. Your good fortune today might just be commonplace for some people. Talent is merely your starting point; true strength lies in your own hearts!

Xiao Li gave them one last pep talk, not wanting these kids to become corrupted by their exceptional talent.

"Big brother, I'll leave the rest to you. Grandpa is also in the family. I've put all the cultivation techniques and combat skills in the cultivation technique pavilion. I'll personally take them to choose them later."

"Once they reach a certain age, let's send them to Canaan Academy for some training. I'll take care of the arrangements," Xiao Li said to Xiao Lin.

"Okay, I understand. Now that Grandpa is at home, I feel much more at ease. At least Grandpa is better at fighting than me."

Young man, you've been away all these years, don't overwork yourself. Although we don't know what the future holds, remember that your family is with you!

Xiao Lin patted Xiao Li on the shoulder. He didn't know how much pressure Xiao Li was under, and he couldn't help Xiao Li in any way right now.

"Sigh~ It's not that tiring, it's just that they know my Xiao family, my Xiao clan's enemies, are eager to gain strength, and the group my elder brother was with before was from another family."

There are at least seven families coveting that thing in our house, and our enemies and the group that injured you last time are the two most powerful of these seven families.

The thought of this feels like a mountain is pressing down on me, but thankfully I already have a solution. If I'm lucky, I can move this mountain away within ten years.

Xiao Li looked at the Azure Ring in his hand. As long as Elder Xiao Kong was resurrected, the Xiao family would have a Dou Sheng expert in charge. With the strength of the elder, there would be few who could rival him. Moreover, the ancient imperial clan had a rule that prohibited the birth of a five-star Dou Sheng.

We should make good use of this rule!

Xiao Li then left the Xiao family and flew into the distance. Immediately afterwards, four figures followed Xiao Li and left with him.

Xiao Li turned to Wang Ming: "Teacher, have you broken through to the two-star Dou Zun level?"

Wang Ming nodded: "Yes, the treasure you gave me (the marrow of a Dou Sheng) is indeed very good. It allowed me to directly reach the level of a two-star Dou Zun. Also, the bottle of medicine you gave me allowed my soul to successfully break through to the Spirit Realm."

Wow, that's fast! In such a short time, I've made such great progress.

"Um, teacher, isn't it a bit incongruous for you to call yourself 'old man' in this state?" Xiao Li looked at Wang Ming, who had long black hair, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome and dashing appearance. In terms of looks, he was even more handsome than Xiao Li, a pure and beautiful man.

"Hiss~ Now that you mention it, you're right. Now that you've broken through to the Dou Zun level, you should start calling yourself 'This Venerable One.' It'll be soon, Ice River Valley! Just you wait!"
